So a lot of people tend to think that God only acts out in big ways or makes grand gestures.  The term 'supernatural' often gets associated with miracles like bringing the dead to life, healing infirmities, and turning water into blood.

I'm starting this thread to disprove these misconceptions.  While God does indeed work on a grand scale, many believers fail to realize that our God is a very PERSONAL God. He cares about our desires, our struggles, and our needs.  Heck, if we're just falling out over a zit on our face... God cares.

I, like many others, have been the beneficiary of many miraculous acts.  I really should keep a journal to record them, but I'll share the two I remember from most recent times.  (Of course, my getting pregnant is quite a miracle in and of itself, but I would certainly include that on the scale of 'larger' miracles.)

Most recently:
So, due to my maternity leave and a few other mishaps, Jason and I have been SUPER low on funds for about two months now.  When I say super low, I'm talking "$3 to buy groceries with for the last two weeks of the month" low.  Quite a few years ago, Jason had purchased cruise tickets at a high discount due to a special being run after those ships capsized. He knew I had never been on a cruise or experienced any such luxury. However, as the years passed by, things would happen during our summers and.... we haven't taken the cruise. Every year he extends the dates, we have to pay a fee.  This is adding to a ridiculous amount, so Jason emphasized that we REALLY, REALLY needed to make sure we set money aside for the cruise this year.

I have other plans though.  See, I worked my butt off last summer with two jobs (and no car) to visit my grandparents who are... sadly.. close to their own expiration.  I worked hard enough to be able to visit them last summer, AND to visit them this summer. The money I worked so hard for was needed at one point and was spent.  Now, it is really, really important to me that I visit them again before they die, and that I let them meet Joel.  For many, many years.. laziness and busy-ness put a distance between us that they are bitter about (and I don't blame them).

Of course, being so tight on money, I cannot afford to both take the cruise, AND visit my grandparents. I put my foot down o the matter and told Jason I would get another job if I had to, in order to visit my grandparents this summer and let them meet Joel.

Jason then did something extremely kind.  He sold our XBOX(360?) and a spare TV that NEVER gets used, for a cool $200. Some of that went to bills, some to food, some to gas, and $67 of it got placed into my palms. This $67 was like gold to me.  I was told to keep it on my person and not allow Jason to spend it no matter how much he begged.  And when he asked to use it, I was more than happy to remind him of the promise he had me make.

One night while almost passed out from exhaustion, I had spilled whiteout on my slacks and thus needed to wash them. I removed the money from my pocket and tried to find the best place to put it. I -specifically- remember NOT putting it in my lunch bag (one of the places I had previously held it) because I didn't want to risk kids at school seeing it.  And I specifically remember wanting to put it out of view so that my husband wouldn't be tempted to spend it.

Where I set it though, I still cannot recall for the life of me. I just knew it was SOMEWHERE in the house.

Well, over this past week, not being able to find that money was REALLY stressing me out. I knew it was my only way to visit my grandparents and that there'd be no more money coming in.  I also knew that my husband had made a ginormous sacrifice to enable me to go.  Every time I woke up, I'd be searching the house... but I apparently hid it better than I thought I did.

I even looked in my lunch bag probably a dozen times, JUST IN CASE.  It has a big pocket in the front and things tend to get lost in the corners of that pocket. So I had gone so far as to empty the entire bag and turn it inside out.

After beginning to worry that I had done something crazy and lost the money during a sleepy spell, I prayed.  I kept praying that God would help me find that money.  And I kept looking.

Then... this morning, as I was getting ready for work... it hit me quite suddenly. I picked up my shoulder bag, picked up my lunch bag and looked down to adjust everything in my arms... and BAM. There it was. That wad of cash was in my lunch bag pocket and in plain sight.  I KNOW it was previously not there. I KNOW my husband did not find it.  Joel or my cat Dorito certainly weren't responsible.

No, I'm telling you... God put that money in my bag.  Even now as I think about it, my throat is tightening in gratitude.  God cares about me THAT much.

There have been other events in my life similar to this one, even though I can't recall the details at the moment.

A rather vague miracle?

I've never been the type to spend money on myself, or even to buy things until they are ABSOLUTELY needed. As an example, I will own ONE pair of work shoes at a time. I wear them EVERY day until the soles fall through.  The pair I have right now are two years old and are all scuffed up on top, but I wear them still. The soles are still in tact, and I will not buy a new pair until that changes.

Over the past couple years, I've owned perhaps four pairs of slacks. The buttons would pop off, the zippers would stop functioning, or (in one case), I'd do something stupid like spill bleach on them.  Because I wasn't gaining a lot of weight while pregnant with Joel, I kept wearing those slacks, and of course.... the little bit of weight I WAS gaining made an impact. I went from having four pairs of good slacks, to none.  I had to actually buy a pair two sizes larger than normal by that point in my pregnancy, just so they'd fit.

And of course, after I had Joel, that weight was gone and those pants swamped me.  I went back to having zero decent slacks.

Well, Jason set aside some money for me to buy a new pair. We went to Wal-Mart, and searched and searched for a cheap pair of slacks.  I have the misfortune of being fairly short, so only petites will do.  We found ONE pair of petites out of three or four racks of slacks.

We bought them, and went home. I have no problem washing my slacks every couple days and putting them on again. Sometimes life gets busy and it might be hard to make the time for laundry, so I knew it was something I would have to keep up with.

Now, I've always kept the slacks that 'went bad' so that I'd at least have options in worst case scenarios.  I can, for example wear the slacks with broken zippers as long as I wear a long shirt to cover the gape.  Or I can wear the button-less slacks with a few safety pins, a belt, and a prayer.

So one day, I was hanging my good pair of slacks and the four bad ones.

Except.... there were still more slacks in the load of laundry. There were two more.  They were the EXACT same type as the newest pair I bought in Wal-Mart.  But I didn't buy them. Wal-Mart didn't even have them.  I know Jason didn't buy them because we didn't have the money, he hadn't been shopping, and he was just as shocked as I was.  I know nobody else bought them, because Jason and I keep such business privy to us, and nobody knew I needed them.... much less what size I wear.  Plus, how would they get into my apartment and sneak them in there?

No, God multiplied my slacks... I swear it! I'm not trying to be funny, and for all the nay-sayers, there is no way my husband had a hand in it.  He wouldn't have lied to me about it and allowed me to think falsely on how they came to be.  And he would have been more, more than happy to take credit and receive some love for his kind acts.

God multiplied loaves of bread and fish for the multitudes, and he multiplied my slacks for the sake of my sanity.

I'll repeat myself:  God is a PERSONAL miracle worker.

What is the purpose of this thread?  It's easy.

Tell me about the miracles God has performed in YOUR life.

This is a great thread!  One small, but important miracle occurred when my family and I were out shopping or something or other.  We were listening to good, Christ-centered music.  But all of a sudden, the music started sounding scratchy and it seemed to be that it would not work.  I knew that the music would be turned to more secular music if the CD wouldn't work.  So I said a prayer that it would work.  It instantly started working again, and didn't fail again the entire time we were listening to it.  I knew God had answered my prayer.

There's another miracle or a more personal nature that I'm willing to share via PM, but not here because of how important it is to me.

My family and I had just moved down to Texas this past year, and while my wife and I saved for about 6 months prior to the move we were almost completely wiped out financially.  I found myself in a position where we were having to afford the mortgage on the house that we left behind and paying rent along with all the normal bills at my new residence in Texas. 

We finally sold the house and were starting to gain a foothold on our finances when out of the blue my son was playing at a local park and he broke his arm on a slide.  The worst part was that it happened in the evening and not knowing the severity of the injury my wife and I decided that we would take him down to the emergency room. 

After having already been financially burdened to the point we had almost no money left I wasn't sure what we were going to do.  On top of everything else my wife had become pregnant.  The pregnancy was something we had tried for for the past 2 years and was a miracle in and of itself, and of course these things often happen when you aren't prepared for it even if you've planned for it. 

I was already working at my new job around 70 hours a week.  I wasn't sure where I would even find the time to get a 2nd job to give our finances a boost.  I did what any good husband would do I worked as hard as I could at my job and assured my wife that we would be alright somehow and to pray that things would work out. 

About a month went by and our house had already been sold for almost 2 months at that point.  We had cleared what we needed to pay at the closing table and everything had already been finalized as far as the money that we needed to pay on the remainder of our mortgage.  We looked in the mailbox and found a check from the mortgage company for 3k dollars.  This was how much the emergency room visit for my son's broken arm had come to.  My wife and I called the mortgage company to make sure that the check was legit and that everything was on the up and up and they assured us that the check was real.  They said that we would have to cash it at their bank and everything went through without a hitch. 

I knew right then that god had a hand in looking out for our family.  I wrote this post with the child (9 days old) my wife was pregnant with sleeping in my lap.  I guess I'd have no choice but to believe in the miracles that god performs for us.

Singelli, if you're ever that short on food, simply dial 211 on your phone and should be redirected to amazing services by your local State, many of which will deliver food directly to your home.

There's also emergency housing and utility relief by your Department of Human Services as well.

Some might come with a restriction or two, like only being able to request this service once in a lifetime.

There's also food banks as well as the American Red Cross along with local churches.

It's okay to ask because they all are waiting for someone like you and your family.


Anyway, I had one healing miracle in my life but I have yet to talk about it with anyone.

As a nurse, I know what happened was beyond any understand.

I knew something was about to occur moments before, and when it did, omygosh, it was pain like I never felt before.

I didn't even know what to do with myself afterwards.

I remember watching Passion of the Christ later that night by myself, and I still think of that time every day since then.

I also think that I heard the voice of God once.  It was a sudden thought in my head which made no sense to me but I agreed to follow this.

What happened later that night was something that would follow me for years, cost me thousands in money, but I know it was for a greater good and I hope I'm somehow remembered of this.

Nice thread by the way.

Steffenfield :  I didn't know any of that about '211', but I've also never been at that level of needing help (thank God!).  We've had a few rough months, but our rent and bills get paid, even if a few of them have to be paid a month late.

Thank you for the information, though.  

What kind of healing miracle was it, if it's safe to share on vizzed?

ghostrunner :
Thanks so much for sharing your story! I feel kinda honored that it was your fourth post on vizzed.  

I had a similar miracle happen to me once, but I can't remember the details. My husband and I were strapped for cash that month too, and we received a rather large check. We though it was a mistake, called HR, and was told that it wasn't. Too this day, we have no idea what the check was for.  But it was definitely needed!

Congratulations on your little bundle of blessings! Wow... not even two weeks old!  Isn't it amazing?!?!  I wasn't even supposed to be able to get pregnant, so my 5 month old, and the one I'm pregnant with right now.... are just... astonishingly beautiful in my eyes!

Seems like money is the common thread in this thread   A difficult thing (especially for the providers in the home) to surrender to God, but a very necessary thing to trust Him with.  I personally still struggle to do that completely.  Even still, God has provided for us in many ways that we were not sure of how to "work it out" and that in itself is a miracle.  When you are at the end of yourself and God comes through for you.  In this way it is impossible for you to get the glory or to claim that "I did this".  Only God - who is the only One deserving of it - gets the glory in these situations.
Here's a "curve ball" or maybe not:  Miracles however, does not produce faith.  Would like to see your thoughts on this.

I've always felt like miracles are God doing things for us that we couldn't do for ourselves. Miracles aren't always "miraculous" but quite often are people put in our paths that can fill a need we have that we can't fill ourselves. Sometimes it is medical/health benefits that doctors can't explain.

I've experienced things in my life that seem fairly mundane but from my point of view were pretty miraculous in nature.
