Nothing Short of A Miracle

The Lord is at work in my life in the small things and I am so grateful for those moments when he clearly lets me know it.

I will start with the more recent (and most miraculous - in my opinion). As part of hubby's preparation for Officer school he had to have a very extensive physical today. The only thing that we have been worried about seriously praying over was his vision. During his entrance physical, 6 plus years ago, he failed his depth perception test - and generally that type of thing doesn't improve over time.

Jeff is an over-preparer (is that a word?) so we have spent the last few months fretting about what could happen if he didn't pass, knowing it would result in him getting assigned a different position. We devoted a lot of time to the Internet looking up ways to improve depth perception and found the most common way was to use the Magic Eye illustrations (you know you remember those they were so much fun as kids). Jeff couldn't make out a single picture in 2 books and needless to say he was frustrated and we were a little concerned.

Truly aware that no matter how much he worked on his ol' eyeballs we weren't going to be able to MAKE them pass the test, he accepted that fact that God is in control. This afternoon as he took his depth perception test he said he was astonished at how easily the correct answers jumped out at him. He had to slow himself down in fear that he was guessing wrong, because it seemed to easy. In the end he didn't miss a single one! To me that is a miracle.
