Do Miracles Still Happen Today?

            This past week has been an amazing one to remember. It has been one for the books too. I had energy to do things after work and I loved doing them. Yeah, I was sleepy when I got home but it was a good kind of sleepy. It was a busy week but I wouldn't have it any other way. It kept me focused on what I love to do and like I said before I had fun doing it. This week I did a small VBS after work every night and it brought back memories. I use to help my mom with VBS a lot while I was in high school and then of course I would go every summer when I was little if my church had one, which they usually did. This was the first VBS that I did here in AR and it was a blast!
              I had a great group of kids and the theme was pretty interesting and fun. It was all about Science, which I like in a way as long as it isn't the hard science. There was fun little kid friendly experiments, the crafts were cute, the games were also very creative, and the lessons were meaningful. I also liked how the science was tried to the miracles of Jesus and how on the last night they had a big, special experiment just like the big miracle Jesus did. That big miracle was Jesus rising from the dead. We had some experiments that worked and others that didn't so we got to see both sides of that. We made some Elephant toothpaste and did the milk spreading food coloring experiment too. We also tried to make rock candy but it wasn't harden by the end of the week.
            The snacks were also very creative. We made a DNA out of marshmallows and linconce and toothpicks. One of the snacks was also "homemade" slime. I'll let you figure out how to make that one happen yourself. Even though, those things were fun and all, it wasn't about those things. It was about the children and teaching them about Christ's Love for us. I did have some cute and special moments with my kiddos that I never want to forget. I had one child that I had to help most of the time with everything. which is great. I love doing that! I had a girl that had to leave in the middle of the week but I remember on the last night that she was there, she just snuggled up close to me and just let me rub her back.
            I got to talk to another girl about what was going on in her family. Then I got this title from a little boy in my group. He actually asked that question the last night of the VBS. I thought that was a neat and meaningful question. Then I got to see the cousins that I had in my group say the verse John 3:16 together in unison, which was great, cute, and not surprising to me at all. Altogether, I just got to know most of the children in the church more and even some of the adults. In a way, VBS was kind of a miracle for me because as a single person I was feeling pretty lonely at the church and starting to doubt if I should even be there again if I was honest with myself. It is just hard anywhere to find a place to fit in when you are single and quite.
            I also tried to explain another miracle to one of my little boys but don't know if he got it or not. That question (aka title) really got to me because I feel like for things to happen in my life the way they should or they way God wants them to, a miracle does need to happen. I feel like I have messed up my life in so many ways and so bad that nothing can be fixed. Yet at the same time I think God was working during that VBS to make things happen and to make me realize some things too that I personally need to work on and other things. I know this might be a sappy way to end this entry but I am going to do it anyways.
           I am still waiting for my "miracle" to happen.
