I shared this story with a few people and thought I would share it more widely as it seemed to bring encouragement.

It all started on Saturday with a Facebook Marketplace scam and losing money. Although there were some bright spots in the weekend – lunch with a couple of awesome ladies from our church – I was feeling really down.

To top it all off, Monday when I was walking the dog I lost a bracelet that my husband gave me on our honeymoon in Hawaii. It wasn’t that the bracelet was expensive…it had a lot of sentimental value. I had stopped and talked to several people on the path that morning so didn’t notice at first that it was missing.

I’m sure you’ve had that feeling of wearing something for a long time then noticing that it is gone. Like a ring, bracelet, etc. Well a couple of hours later I felt something was missing on my wrist and noticed it was not there. I panicked. I looked in the pocket of the jacket I was wearing. Looked in the gloves. I looked everywhere I could think to look and nothing… my heart sank. I figured by this time someone had already taken it because I had lost it in the park where kids walk to/from school, other people walking their pets, joggers, people riding bikes and more. I was devastated!

Later that night I just broke down to God and said “I know you are the God of the impossible and it may seem impossible that I would find this bracelet, especially since so many people have passed by and someone already found it. But God you care about things like this so I’m going to believe that I can find the bracelet.”

While walking the dog the next morning and talking to a client on the phone, I remembered that I had stopped yesterday in a certain spot, took off my gloves to greet a friend and pet her dog. I looked off the sidewalk in the area where I had stopped and about 5 inches off the sidewalk, half hidden under a leaf with my bracelet. I started crying. God is so good and he does care even about the little things that matter so much to us.

I’m praying that this story encourages you. Feel free to leave a comment and tell me about your experiences of “the impossible.”
