God speaks to me through license plates. Not all the time, mind you, but when he does it’s clear and so specific that I can’t believe otherwise. Take, for example, the time I was praying in my car, asking God to let me be completely open and without any pretense before him, laid bare in…

40:40 Day 11
Richmond, from what I’d seen on a weekend trip, was nothing more than a big Manassas. Dingy auto shops and chain restaurants punctuated long sentences of nondescript strip malls on both sides of Broad Street. Couldn’t I know someone in Miami? A fresh start should be exciting, and not contain the country’s largest concentration of…
40:40 Day 10
Where would I go? Since I wasn’t moving in with Karen and Rodney, I was back to square one. I searched Craigslist and kept an ear out, but no option looked appealing. My hope was in the fact that God was in this move. One evening I was training Brittany, a new girl at work,…
40:40 Day 9
God wants to be part of our story. Actually, he’s invited us to be part of his story, but many people choose to believe he’s not there, can’t see, doesn’t care. He is there. He sees. He cares. I was planning to move in a couple months. Living on my own, while wonderful for hosting…
40:40 Day 8
With Beth Moore’s “Believing God” and a picnic blanket tucked under my arm, I made my way to a grassy area in the middle of Crump Park. My spidey-sense (aka discernment) pricked as I passed a man in the small gravel parking lot who was just sitting in his car with the door open as…
40:40 Day 7
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….
