Salvaged a T-top
New Swim OUtfit for a Special Occasion
Dreaming of transitioning back to Western Colorado where friends are family, I bought a couple items to celebrate the occasion when it becomes a reality.
One Sunday I stopped at a Ross store and found this swimsuit which I tried on. The size is a little bigger than what I normally wear. So I put it back.
Well, I couldn't get it out of my mind. So, on Tuesday, which is senior discount day at Ross stores, I returned to look for it. I first went to another store but couldn't find it there. Then, I returned to the other store and couldn't find it where I found it. Feeling brought down, I found a couple other items that I had seen the other day and bought those. I was relieved to find them. One was on clearance and the other didn't have a price tag. So I took my chances.

While in line to purchase them, I found the swimsuit hanging in the Q-line. Apparently, someone else who was in line to buy it had changed their mind. So I grabbed it.
I was so excited that I couldn't keep the joy to myself and told the young gal behind me in line. She rejoiced with me and asked if I had a special occasion for it. I told her I am hoping to return to Colorado soon and wear it at the Hot Springs Pool. She was pleased to hear it.
When I went to pay for everything, the cashier looked up the price on the short skirt which was missing a price tag and discovered it was also on clearance. I got a huge deal! Everything was 10% off because of the senior discount. It ended up being a happier day!

Then, I looked on Amazon at Sketchers because of an ad I got in the mail, to see if I could find a better deal on sneakers. It was the I saw these sandals. They were in my size and the only pair left. So I snatched them. I got them delivered to me on a Sunday which was a surprise to me.

But the thing that was so significant to me was the leading of the Holy Spirit through this process and how He reserved this outfit for me. I didn't get to the store to find the swimsuit until Tuesday afternoon and I was able to find it again. That in itself is a miracle!

My Eyes Are Blessed!
On September 7, 2018 I went to the eye doctor for my annual checkup. The technician saw me first before the doctor came in to see me. I explained my diet has been poor and therefore didn’t expect a good result.
So he checked my right eye which has been my stronger eye and it was just OK. Things were a tad blurry but I could still make out the letters on the line I had to read.
Then he checked my left eye, the weaker eye. I was shocked to see things crisp and clear and be able to read most of the same line as with my right eye which has NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!!!!
All my life I have had childhood macular mal-development which left me feeling hopelessly depressed when leaving the doctor's office in the past from an eye exam. In fact, I decided to switch doctors within the same clinic rather recently because I would bump heads with the previous one who fed me a negative prognosis. I believe that had to have helped open the door to a miracle, making it possible for me to believe and receive.
So things were different this time, and I could see clearly though it was still hard to make out the characters. It’s hard to explain, that even though I had good acuity, I still couldn’t make out all the letters, especially so close together. But my vision was by far the best it’s ever been! The technician said he is still counting this line for the left eye reading for my chart. So my sight in the left eye almost matches that of the right eye for the first time in my life!
Then, the doctor he came in and looked at my eyes, and was in utter amazement! Upon examining my retinas, he said they both look great with no ill signs. He said this doesn’t just happen! I told him my diet has been poor so I’m amazed too!
I explained that I’m a Christian and that one morning, and on another occasion, the Lord told me He would be healing my left eye! The doctor said that whatever I’m doing, I should continue!
I am reminded that a while back Pastor Tom Hernandez at Heart of the Bay Christian Center had a word for someone, "Macular Regeneration!" I don't think I was present in the meeting in which he gave that word, but later he determined it was for me.
Well, I will continue to give God all the glory! I’m taking it as a miracle unfolding! Amen.

A New Family Member
Shoe ❤️
The following morning I thought about the shoes and wanted to go visit my store and look for them. Instead, the Lord prompted me to visit another store in Daly City. He apparently had a pair of shoes reserved for me there. I stopped at the Colma store first and found nothing of interest before wandering over to Serramonte Center in Daly City where the other store was that the Lord was directing me to.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before running across the pair of shoes the Lord hid for me though they were in plain sight! They were a size 8 and I usually wear a 7 1/2, but they were the only pair there, and they were on clearance. After some hesitation, I resolved to buy them. I got them on clearance and with my employee discount. It was a significant savings and with an insert in each toe, they fit comfortably! Praise God for His infinite love! 💞
