Sometimes it’s the little things that let us know God is always there, always providing. As you might know, my one and a half year old kitty Bentley has issues because he was hit by a car as a tiny kitten. We do squirty medicine every morning and night with a syringe. His newest bottle…

Miles’ visa took eight months to get approved , and it just happened to be approved one day before the list was released.One day. Many families had been waiting for months for Dictator, I mean, President Joseph Kabila of the DRC to reopen the adoption gates. Chris and Julie knew it was God that had…

Alison is the most animated, joyful, crazy (in a good way) woman I’ve ever known. She IS the party, and for her the party is all about Jesus. She’d been serving as a missionary in North Africa for three years when she met Brian at a wedding back stateside, and a slooooow romance began to…

God knows I need help when something goes wrong with my car. I had just finished a great lunch catching up with my friend Tiffany. As I was sliding into my car,the older gentleman in the truck parked next to mine called out,”Excuse me, Miss! Did you know that you have a flat tire?” I…

Once upon a time I thought I was in love. For once, it was with a man who loved Jesus. Ok, so we weren’t dating. At all. But, everyone thought we would get together at any moment, including me. We hung out ALL the time, mostly in groups but there was some alone time, too. …

I felt completely discouraged. The Bible study Heather and I had been leading together was a flop. We had been so excited to provide a place for women from our job to come and learn about Jesus, but attendance was sporadic at best and it usually ended up being just us and our friend Tiffany,…

Once upon a time I worked with a girl who was being tormented by demons. She confessed to me one slow afternoon that her boyfriend had been followed by them, and had brought them into her apartment, and now she would go home in the middle of the day and try to take a nap…
40:40 Day 24
Never ask God to humble you. I can’t clearly remember why, but for some reason I was feeling like a hot shot at work. I must have gotten a lot of guest compliments, or maybe I scored high on some Secret Shopper reports. All I know is, I was so prideful that I got convicted…
