That's one definition that TWR got right!
One day this month I woke up from a nap (pretty extraordinary by itself) to a horse just chillin' and munching on some grass outside my front door. Things like this just don't happen in Philly! Suddenly, I clearly heard God say, "Get used to it babygirl!" The Christian life SHOULD be one where God's spirit is constantly working in incredible ways. It should be normal to see limbs grow back, demons cast out, on-point prophetic words, etc. Seeing God work boldy in our lives should never get old and we should never become desensitized to it, but it should be a regular occurrence. We are called to walk in the miraculous.
As Christians, our lives should be overflowing with examples of the power and love of God. It should be commonplace to pray for someone, to share your testimony, to speak life into others, to commune with the Holy Spirit… Careful, just because it's normal does not mean take it for granted. The privilege of walking with God is not one we should ever take lightly. Watching God work should always amaze us and make us grateful.
Are you ready to step out into the everday extraordinary?
