Yesterday as I got up I put my AirPods in my PJ pocket and went to the business of getting my boys off to school. I remember the thought coming to my mind that I should probably put them in a safer place since my pj pants pockets are loose and things can easily fall out of them. I ignored the thought.
Then last night I remembered the thought and decided to go find my AirPods. I went to my closet and pulled out my pj pants. The AirPods were not in the pocket. I looked all around where I had taken them off and around and in the basket where I keep my pjs. No luck. I turned on my find my device app. It couldn't connect to the AirPods. I thought maybe they fell out in the car when I took Noble to school. No luck finding them there.
I searched under and around my bed, the kitchen, the laundry room, the music room, upstairs, downstairs my closet several times, the bathrooms. I just couldn't find them. I prayed and looked and still nothing. I was fairly certain they were somewhere in the house or my car so I decided I should just go to bed.
This morning when I woke up they were the first thing I thought about. I really hate losing things. So I got on my knees and prayed and in that prayer again I asked that I could find the AirPods. I went to closet and again took out my pj pants. I put my hands in the basket I keep them in and right there was the case. First place I looked.
Now many people would discount this as luck or a coincidence. But I saw it as a micro miracle. God cares about the details of our lives that maybe aren't huge in the grand scheme of things but they are big to us in that moment. I have had numerous similar micro miracles where I have been able to find lost things with the prayer and searching.
I know that God cares about lost things. What's more, I know God cares about lost people. He is mindful of each and every one of His children. We are never too lost for Him to guide someone to find us. The only real question is, are we ready to be found?
