Questions of magic

"Has anything else magical happened?" I get asked.  "No. They don't happen every day!" I reply.
"How do you know it's God?" I get asked. *shrugs* "Well, I guess simply because it's generally not something I agree with or want. But when I do it, the results are staggering, and when I don't, they're devastating."  I mean, that's the black and white version, but it's more of a sliding scale, to be perfectly honest.
If everything I do is based on Love, love for people, and love for myself- with humility- saying no to pride and ego, selfishness and self-consciousness. Magic happens. And the reason why I choose to act out of love instead of pride and selfishness is love for God. I've seen miracles happen that have been none of my doing. Especially when I throw up my hands in defeat because I can't see the next step, and acknowledge that I don't got this. :-P  Which of course, I would never admit publically under normal circumstances, I've got a huge amount of pride to work on.

I don't know the next step. I don't know  my left from my right. I can't see anything ahead of me. I don't know how anything is going to work out. I don't even know if I'll make enough money to pay rent next month. I could easily break out ahead, or I could sink drastically. It's a crap shoot. 
But here's what I do know. God's got me. Whatever happens, happens, and the result may be difficult, but it will turn out in the long run.

And so the story goes.
