So technically I posted LAST NIGHT and not this morning, cause my computer is on Missouri time but I'm in Alaska.... so this is not a double post in one day. It's two posts on two different days. Just to clarify...
Now people will ask me... Bethany, why do you believe in God? What proof do you have? Now I don't claim to be an apologetics expert... in fact I'm nothing of the sort. (Though I have read books on apologetics.) I'm also of the firm belief that you can't argue people into believing in God. You can only tell them what you believe and trust God to do the work. But in my own life, there are things which, to me, seem to speak volumes about God's presence in my life. You may of course chalk them up to be coincidence, or sheer luck, but as I believe in neither of those things, good luck convincing me it's not God. (Or if you want to look at it from a certain Alex's point of view... you can chalk it up to the Flying Spaghetti Monster... Though I don't really recommend doing that.)
I call these things that happen to me Minor Miracles, and I keep a book full of them to remind myself that God will take care of me even when I'm feeling down. Some of these minor miracles include my supporting church sending me more money then I needed to pay my bills so that I could purchase a plane ticket to see my boyfriend in Alaska... or my aunt and uncle sending me a $600 check to cover the cost of books and school... or something trivial like this morning.... See last night, Kathy, the lady I'm staying with, told me that she had left over sugary cereal from when her grandkids were visiting, and that she needed my help in eating it. I thought to myself... Gee I hope it's Lucky Charms, and sure enough, this morning she pulls out Lucky Charms.
Now I know that Lucky Charms doesn't sound very heavenly, but to me, it's a minor miracle and I will continue to believe that sometimes God does little things like that just to show he cares.
