Miracles

Dear Friend,

Do you believe in miracles?

This seems impossible to answer, right? It's not like you can just go around asking people that question in every day conversation. It's like asking "What is the meaning of life?" Along with many other concepts, understanding miracles is rarely brought up, simply because it's too complex to understand. Such concepts are like cookies in the cookie jar stored on the highest shelf in the kitchen- meant to be untouched. But naturally, here we are reaching for one of those chocolate chip cookies and attempting to make sense of a concept that is supposedly beyond our thinking capabilities. 

First, we need to figure out what a miracle really is. You've probably heard of the numerous biblical miracles such as the parting of the sea, feeding thousands with a loaf of bread and some fish, and raising people from the dead. But do miracles have to be that jaw-dropping? It's not too often that you're listening to the radio and a breaking news story comes up about a man walking on water. As entertaining and shocking as that may be, miracles can be as simple as finishing something that you thought would never get done. Regardless of how big or small a miracle is, they should be something that is worth remembering. They could be completely life-changing or a little something that makes you smile. All in all, miracles are memorable. 

But who is behind all this miracle business? Is it the Big Man up above? A greater power? Is it yourself? This is something that we've often found ourselves discussing. Although we don't know the answer, we believe that people are part of your life for a reason. There are people who lift us up higher and then there are those who challenge us. In a way, they are sort of guardian angels or heroes- honestly, they can be whatever you want them to be. For us, it's only recently that we've realized such people are present in our every day lives. Keep a look out for your guardian angels, heroes, or whatever you decide to call them- even if you can't see them, they are definitely there. 

So we have one final question for you: have you ever experienced a miracle? Don't be afraid to write your answer in the comments below. For us, if you are breathing and reading this post, we believe that as a miracle in itself :) If you have experienced a miracle, then congratulations! We hope it was memorable! However, if you have never experienced one, hang in there. No matter how tough things get, just be patient and continue to push through each day. You will find your miracle- sometimes all you have to do is wait. 

"The moment you're ready to quit is usually the moment right before the miracle happens. Don't give up." 

Yours truly, 

Kylie and Catherine
