WALKING IN MIRACLES — LITERALLY

Welcome back to today's episode of Beauty Revival and today my episode is called Walking in Miracles Literally and Put a Little Wonder in Your Walk.

So this morning I was off on my walk and I got a little inspiration for the podcast today when I looked down and I saw this like pile of papers that were ripped out of a book and It was right outside on Scottsdale Road, our main road here.

And I thought, I wonder what that is.

And I picked it up.

I'm holding it right now.

And it literally was like an index from this book.

And the page that was on the top that I looked at first was the definition of miracle and miraculous and right above that also ministry.

And I thought, wow, that's crazy.

Like, what are the chances? I just knew it was a message for me, kind of like when I talked before in my pink flamingo episode, when I talked about the huge pink flamingo umbrella being in the street and I had to get out of the car and get it and move it out of the way and my whole revelation on that, which I won't go through it again, but it's kind of how i live my life i'm always like walking around looking for the miraculous and i was just thinking how it just gives me a lot of hope and positivity and just wonderment in my day i was just thinking about people that don't do that versus people that do and I think for like your mood and for mental health I think for a lot of positive reasons it's just a great mindset to have and I think most people don't pay attention and they just miss a lot of the wonder that is coming across your path and so anyways it just got me thinking Of other times things have came across my path and just thinking about miracles in general and how they begin with belief, but walking in them requires expectation, attention, discernment, and action.

So.

I'm going to talk about in this episode how having like a holy expectancy helps us recognize meaning, comfort, connection, and God's activity in the details that cross our path, and especially during seasons of grief.

And a couple of my examples are grief stories.

I've just been feeling so sad for Cindy Crawford with her recent loss of her son and Kaya, the daughter.

I've met both of them, and I'm only mentioning that because they could not have been nicer, and this whole loss of their son Randy, or not Randy's the dad, Presley, it's just had me reeling.

And so anyways, it just got me thinking about when I've been in times of grief or when I've been around someone else who's been going through grief that you more than ever, I think, are like looking for signs, for confirmation, for just hope that prayer proof that there's something else out there that is bigger than us, that they're still with us.

So anyways, it doesn't require us to label every coincidence as a command from God, but it just invites us to stay awake, test what we notice, and remember the moments that bring us closer to Him.

These are the moments that give us a sense of wonder, excitement, and hope that there's far more to life than what we can see.

So Anyways, I was thinking again about just how you walk in miracles is expecting them.

So believing says miracles can happen, and expectations says God is still working, so I'm going to stay awake enough to notice.

Holy expectation is not demanding that God performs on command.

It's not pretending that disappointment is unreal, and it's not assigning divine meaning to everything.

It's just like the crumpled paper.

I could have walked right past it, just as probably countless other people had, but...

The message was right there in the path waiting to be noticed.

So to me, it could not have been more appropriate because my whole podcast really is on walking in miracles.
