Whether it was your happiest or worst year, what was your most incredible moment so far? Do you have one or many? You can choose to write 50 of them too ...or not.
I am not going come close to the list posted by Rachel20, so I'll post random pluses.
1) Saw a man leaf-blowing next to JC Penny (an American store). The way the sun shined through the fence and moving leaves made a million-dollar work of art, but it was probably a couple dollars worth of work.
2) A group of friends treated me to an unexpected birthday lunch.
3) Got to travel again.
4) Met family I did not know.
5) Phenomenal conversations with total strangers.
6) A lady prayed with me when I asked.
7) Kept uncovering old notes of encouragement.
8) Looked at the collection of encouraging notes and took the thanks as a challenge.
9) Became an entrepreneur (still sorting things out)
10) Parents rekindled their fervency for God and each other.
11) Missionaries taught me lessons.
12) Invited to multiple location to relocate (praying about this)
13) Juggled soccer ball better than ever. (Still worse than much of the world)
14) Saw people accept Christ.
15) Downsized on old papers
16) Met someone who will let me access a radio station for off-the-air practice (HUGE DREAM ANSWERED!)
17) The mother of a kid I taught was excited to see me and asked about church. They both showed up!
18) Random acquaintance from two years ago openly prayed in a theater parking-lot (car-park) with me.
19) Hospital miracles (and peace eventually experienced after loved ones died)
20) 2 Birds flew throughout the house. I acted like Bat Man to set them straight.
21) Vehicle drove for miles with a busted radiator. To this day, I have no idea how it got there (in both senses, the car or the hole in the radiator)
22) Lots of firsts were tested, few were fails.
23) Able to go to a writing seminar.
24) Read a woman's text about 10 things she was grateful for, AFTER she lost a parent and prepared for the likelihood of another loss.
25) Got back into an exercise rhythm
26) Grew in knowledge, while forgetting just as much
27) Scored a sweet location: near a park, transit station, my church, and each place I've worked.
28) Colored with my grandma
29) Received a prayer cloth (I don't think it is a sacred item, but it was used for sacred purpose. The lady made it herself.)
30) Learned from some correction (still learning from continued correction).
31) An old friend of my grandma taught me a song that reminds: "4 days late, He was right on time." Powerful!
32)Free classes were offered.
33) Got to swim on multiple occasions and took advantage of those provided.
34) My neighbors were quiet-er.
35) Observed a doubting teenager start faithfully interceding for others!
36) The continued international dialogue between Christians and those open to who Christ was and is.
37) The pain in my foot went away.
38) A young mother shared that she and her boyfriend are listening to Christian music more. (While there are areas where she can improve, her childlike faith is amazing!)
39) A woman and her spouse were on the rocks, but they have pulled it back together. And she says it is because of War Room, the Bible, and God (duh!
)
40) Heard from several mentor friends (T, M, & D)
41) Started working on a creative writing assignment with someone else
42) Faith grew, thanks to Grace and Faithfulness
43) Shoot hoops with a relatively new teen (he beats me, but that is okay. At least I
can still play.)
44) Cleared out clutter from the "garage" portion of a house.
45) Called someone at time that was beneficial to us both.
56) Learned to lean into Grace
47) Made an important business partner contact
48) God gave me a clear sign through ANOTHER Jonah message at ANOTHER church
49) Friends, those blessings-in-disguise folks.
50) Prayer warriors, those who pave way for the blessings.
