A Miraculous Life
God Can Turn the Ordinary into
the Extraordinary
By Valerie Creed
And

Enoch walked with God: and he was

not; for God took him.Genesis 5:24

2 News From College Lakes Church

God can take the everyday, ordinary and
turn it into a miracle. Would you
consider yourself everyday, ordinary?
Richard Jones, a naval engineer, was
trying to make a meter designed to
monitor power on naval ships when one
of his tension springs fell to the ground
and started bouncing from place to place
and the slinky was born. An everyday,
ordinary item was transformed and given
a new purpose.

Durham Rescue Mission

As Enoch went about his everyday

schedule, little did he know God was
about to change him forever. One day he
was walking with his God as he did
every day when the ordinary became
miraculous; when the everyday became
bliss. He not only was talking with his
God, but he was seeing Him face to face.
His life had been turned into a miracle.
What made the difference? He did not try
to attain this miracle. He was just a
tension spring doing his daily job of
keeping his walk right with God, his
family fed and clothed, and his heart
warmed with the ordinary. He would
love his life to be miraculous, but he
knew only God could do that. He just did
what was expected of him, and God saw
it. God took notice of him. God decided
to do something about it. He turned his
life into a miracle.

Thank the Lord for all that was brought in

and given to the Mission. Thank you all.

God notices you too, you know. He

notices when you wake up and walk with
Him. He notices when you fellowship
with Him throughout the day and laugh
and enjoy the sheer bliss of His blessings
and thank Him for them. You never
know. He just might change your
everyday, ordinary into a miracle. Are
you ready for that?
