In fact, I never expected God to work miracles in my life at all. When I was a kid, He didn\u2019t make my sick dad get better. He didn\u2019t convince my parents to get the cardboard vanity (with a complete set a play makeup) which was the only present I wanted the Christmas I was seven.<\/p>\n<p>When I was a teenager, He didn\u2019t make me cute enough to get dates or coordinated enough to avoid teasing in gym class. In college, He didn\u2019t make me a world famous actress. When my son was born, He didn\u2019t instantly heal my son\u2019s physical condition.<\/p>\n<p>However, earlier this week, when I saw a glowing clump of grass during my morning walk, I wondered if it was finally miracle time for Miss Jolene. Was God was in the burning bush business again and asking me to be a modern day Moses? Thankfully I realized the flames were only the sun hitting the feathery tips of the grass before I cut a willow switch and tried part the waters of the little creek down by the bridge.<\/p>\n<p>But all week, the memory of that glowing grass warmed my heart, and I\u2019ve been in the mood for a miracle. In face, I\u2019ve pretty much been expecting one to happen. But God didn\u2019t stop at one miracle. He performed a whole string of them.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, <em>A Different Dream for My Child<\/em> was released, and my no-frills rellies sent five balloon bouquets.<\/p>\n<p>By Wednesday, I\u2019d sold two cases of books.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, the rellies called and said they\u2019d be coming early for our Labor Day reunion because the college-aged cousins couldn\u2019t wait until Saturday to see one another.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the publicist at Discovery House said they submitted <em>Different Dream<\/em> for both the Christianity Today and ECPA book award nominations in the Christian Living category.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, my son will arrive for his first Labor Day in seven years. It will be his first reunion as an emotionally and physically, wholly healed young man. Both my kids are bringing their sweeties to the Labor Day for the first time. Last Labor Day, my daughter thought she would be an old maid forever and my son was a monk.<\/p>\n<p>So if the first four items on the list don\u2019t meet your definition of a miracle, I\u2019m thinking this last one just might do the trick for you. It did for me.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, I wasn\u2019t the kind of girl who expected God to work miracles in her life. This week I\u2019m sure He works them every day.<\/p>\n<p>This week, I\u2019m definitely that kind of girl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m not the kind of girl who expects God to work miracles in my life on a regular basis.
