God’s provision doesn’t always look miraculous. Sometimes he lets us know he’s there with us in the work-week monotony, in busyness and routine, especially when we ask. Just because it’s an ordinary day doesn’t mean he’s not awesome and powerful and willing to work in our lives. Cut to Thursday. I don’t mind food running…

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…

So I have a curse when it comes to cats. My first cat, Tony ( short for Antonio Banderas), came home from Richmond Animal League at five months old and died a little over a year later of a freak blood clot that left both of his back legs suddenly paralyzed. The doctor said he…

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,…
40:40 Day 25
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…
40:40 Day 23
One perk of moving to Richmond was that my job had a branch twenty minutes away from my new home. One downside was that three people I really did not want to work with again had transferred down a year ago to open the store. One manager was the most nit-picky, arrogant and condescending person I’d ever met,…
