Instructions Source; Day308; We are the miracle!
October 28, 2009 Leave a comment
Isa 28:26 [And he trains each of them correctly] for his God instructs him correctly and teaches him.
Isaiah 28. 23-29
We are the miracle! Don’t wait for one.
I was watching the videos of Nick-Life Without Limbs yesterday (just read my yesterday’s post) and he mentioned about how his eyes was opened regarding his being born without arms and legs and he was praying for a miracle. He also wrestled to the idea that God was unfair and that he should have his legs and arms just like the rest of us. In his interview, he was asked when did you realize that you needed to trust God. His answer, “when I read the miracle of the blind”. He elaborated that when he read the passage “but the works of God should be made manifest in him”, his life became the miracle and not his being without arms and legs. When you looked at now of the thing he accomplished for the Kingdom, it is beyond comprehension that a crippled man he is can reach out to millions of people.
“but that the works of God should be made manifest” – that implies to all of us. I wrestled to God so many times about calamities, hurricane Katrina, the tsunami in Thailand, my own problems, why people had to suffer, why people had to cry, why the rest are just as happy as they can be, why cancer, divorce, infidelity. Then I asked why there is no more miracle like the blind man able to see or the crippled able to walk nowadays. Then He whispers to my heart, what about the doctors I sent or what about the medicine I let people invent or what about the different surgery procedure that I let man discover. I was just amazed.
I went swimming yesterday and I saw a wheelchair right above lane2. I normally just get in the water when I go to the pool and never look at anybody when they are swimming. But today, I sat there at lane3 (middle lane) and just watched a man swimming with no legs. I think he was a Vietnam veteran who lost his leg during the war ( I did not asked him though). Two days ago I was just watching “Life Without Limbs videos” and yesterday I had the privilege to witness in my own eyes how a man without legs perform the same thing that I do. I am more challenged now. I am not waiting for a miracle anymore, I am the miracle. We are the miracle – our life is the miracle.

LOOKING BACK – YESTERDAY
What went well?
1. 2.4 Mile Swim – Tested 100m at fastest pace, was able to do 1 min 35 sec. and watched a man without legs swim. So inspiring. If he can do it, I can do it.
2. Event Log Database Project Notes. Did a lot of reading and concluded that to make everything work, I need to use Log Parser 2.2 and the Lizard apps. But before i can do anything, I need to finish reading the book – Log Parser Toolkit. Below are my notes and links if you are interested of the project.
