My dearest God,

Sometimes I think what I write you is totally redundant; you know everything. Yet, my continuing to share with you my daily discoveries of your glorious presence keeps me in daily communication with you. What is the most meaningful part of our 24 hour sharing is that I know I can tell you anything. I know you are listening. However, it may be that it is not so much about you listening to me as much as my listening to you as you daily awaken my senses. What I see, hear, touch, taste and smell is your doing. I just write about it, giving you praise for the wondrous experience.

Today I participated in a miracle. It was your work; I simply joined in the effort. I felt privileged to share in this unfolding mystery, awakening a friend to your almighty power. His openness and willingness to follow your lead is directing him to a new life, one better than before. I do believe that we shall see a new man, father, husband and friend develop, this man who has been aching to come to life for decades. What a marvelous, beautiful adventure he is embarking upon.

I believe it is true that when one person encounters a miracle taking place in their life that it opens the door to the possibility of miracles in the lives of others. I have witnessed that time and again in my covenant group. As we observe faith come to life or hope or forgiveness in a time of great hardship, we are each one benefactors of greater faith coming to life in the rest of us. We find courage to move forward knowing first, it is possible, second, you desire it, third we can open ourselves to it and fourth we have support in the transformation. Incredible, remarkable, glorious!

What can I say but share my insight and my gratitude day in and day out?

You are wonderful,
a delight
to my
joy-filled soul,
dear God.
I watch
with great interest
your resplendent majesty
at work.
There is
no god
like you.
My heart
is full
of gratitude
and wonder,
my Great and Beautiful God!

Love always, Andrea
