Is This Real Life
Living Like Everything Is a Miracle - Part 1
Monday, July 14, 2025
Hi friends—
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
— Albert Einstein
This quote is often attributed to Einstein, though he didn’t believe in a personal God.
Maybe that’s what makes it hit harder—because even a skeptic saw the wonder.
So what does that say about those of us who do believe?
Let’s be honest—life doesn’t always feel miraculous.
And let’s be real—it doesn’t always feel holy either.
Brushing your teeth. Choosing comfort over style—again. Hoping breakfast makes you a new person.
Answering the same text with the same emoji you always send.
Nothing flashy. Nothing obviously holy. Just... life.
But what if this is exactly where the miracles are?
What if real life—the kind Jesus walks with you through—isn’t made of big, shiny, once-in-a-lifetime moments...
but of ordinary things glowing quietly with God?
✨ A New Series
We’re kicking off a new series called:
Living Like Everything Is a Miracle—
because what if it is?
Sometimes the miracle is just being awake to what God’s already doing.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll explore the wild ways God moves—
in weddings and whispers, healing and humor,
dead ends and divine delays,
and maybe even in you.
💓 A Reminder
You are alive today.
Your heart is beating.
You are deeply known.
You are loved right now—not some future, more spiritual version of you.
That’s not small.
That’s a miracle.
🔍 Take15 Reflection Points
• What do I actually believe about miracles?
• Do I think they’re rare… or could they be happening all the time?
• Have I seen something miraculous in my own life—but called it something else?
• Ask Jesus: Would You help reshape the way I see miracles—so I don’t miss what You’re doing? And would You give me an open mind and heart as I move through this series with You?
🕊️ A Closing Thought
Let Him surprise you.
Let Him slow you down.
Let Him open your eyes to what’s been right in front of you all along—
a world quietly bursting with everyday miracles.
Even Mondays.
Especially Mondays.
Just YES,
Colleen 😎
