GSU My living situation last year got rough. A dear friend with addiction had moved into the spare room, and while things were great for the first couple months, soon it became evident to me that something wasn’t right: he would leave the house in the middle of the night and started acting very defensive…

40:40 Day 6
GSU I have always envied the way God shows up in my best friend’s life. She experiences crazy answer to prayer because she takes crazy steps of faith. About four years ago she and her husband started the journey to adopt two beautiful children from the Democratic Republic of Congo. God’s leading was evident from…
40:40 Day 5
GSU My parent’s dumb cat Harriet went missing while they were in Florida. Aunt Mary was going over to the house to feed her and make sure she was in at night, but three days in she went over at dusk and there was no sign of H. Harriet would often roam the wooded hills…
40:40 Day 4
GSU Shots, shots, shots, shots,shots, shots, shots! Shots aren’t cheap. I needed two vaccinations before I got on a plane to Haiti. We had raised money for our mission trip, but any extras were on us. The first provision surprised me. I went to a neighborhood community fair with some friends from church who did…
40:40 Day 3
Today’s God Showed Up is one I heard from Francis Chan, a dynamic Chinese-American pastor from California. Francis is serious about God and heartbroken about the state of the church in America. His life and teaching demonstrate a fierce passion for the people of God to live according to God’s word and for God’s kingdom….

Happy Tuesday! In case you missed yesterday’s post, I’m committing to 40 days of remembering God’s faithfulness to bolster my faith, and 40 days of prayer, knowing God can do all that we pray for and more according to His will if we only have the faith to ask! Today’s GSU (God Showed Up) Story:…
40:40 Day One
Silence fills the room. The lamp glows, warm and sunny over soft blankets and small stacks of books and journals. I’ve just finished my first week of a new forty days of prayer, and as I snuggle in on a quiet Sunday night, I can’t help but wonder if I’m really making a difference. When…
A Tale of Two Ann’s
I heard this true story on the local Christian radio station last night on the way home from work: Ann was out running an errand and came across a lady on the side of the road with a flat tire. She pulled over to help and changed the lady’s tire for her, refusing the money the…

I stepped on my cat while shaking my tailfeather this morning. He’s fine. Probably. I am in a great mood today because I am officially ON THE WAGON. The vegetable wagon, that is. I was veggan ( vegan+eggs) for the first three weeks of January, but I didn’t feel of look any different by the…
Quail Burgers
When the ancient Israelites were wandering around in the desert for, oh, about forty years, they began to complain and say that they missed the good food they’d had back in Egypt. They conveniently forgot they’d been slaves and how great it had been building pyramids every day one brick at a time. God…
