奇迹 Miracles

Day 17.

I've heard of and witnessed plenty of things that I would call miracles: people being healed, speaking in tongues, moms with super strength and agility when their baby is in danger... I'm sure many of you have heard of these things happening too.

But last night, I witnessed something that I never imagined I would see in my lifetime...

It all began around 11:00pm.  That's when the mosquitoes come out.  In Taiwan, they are nocturnal.  A bunch of us were staying up to work on a book report and it didn't take long before we got aggravated with the frequent buzzing in our ears and sucking of our blood.  We fought back hard.

We grabbed those suckers out of thin air. Without even looking up from our books.

The later it got, the more ninja-like abilities we had.
(In reality, we killed none of them and woke up our neighbors from banging on the walls with our shoes trying to kill them.)
But that's beside the point.

What really matters is what happened about 2 hours into the battle.
After grueling hours of disappointing, fruitless labor, we killed a mosquito with our minds.
This is not a joke, people.

That thing fell out of the sky on its own.  Right onto my laptop.

So we spent the next few minutes praising God.

 And today,  when we were all feeling very tired and very itchy, we would just remember that mosquito.

So if today you're feeling down in the dumps, I encourage you to remember the mosquito.
It has not yet failed to raise my spirits.
