Angela, December 31- Up a few pounds because, well, cheese. Wondering when things will finally come together because life hasn’t progressed by standards of the “American Dream”. Also, I live in an attic with my constipated cat and rang in New Years on the couch wearing teddy bear pajamas and commenting on how good people…

40:40 Day…40
Today will be the last post in my forty day series of commemorating God’s faithfulness and persisting in prayer. I remember being on day eight and wondering how in the world I would come up with thirty-two more God moments to write about, but he brought more to mind as the days progressed and…
40:40 Day 37
Danielle and I became friends while arguing on Facebook. A guy friend we had in common had put up a post about God, and Danielle, being a science-minded college student, was pushing back against each faith- based comment. She and I got into it, respectfully, and we went in circles. Finally, I just said, “Hey,…
40:40 Day 36
My friend Alicia has the gifts of prayer and contagious laughter. Both equally important. I knew she would set an alarm for some weird time, like 5:37 a.m., each morning and she would pray for Cyprus or whatever God was laying on her heart, and then go back to sleep. I really admired her dedication…
40:40 Day 34
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…

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…
40:40 Day 30
Pramana had been born into a people group with a population of twenty-four million. In his people group, there were only three known followers of Jesus, and no church. The only religion that he had ever practiced or known while growing up had been a sort of folk Islam. Pramana knew the Quran by rote….
40:40 Day 26
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 17
I lost a baby when I was just twenty-three years old. I didn’t even know I was pregnant until I miscarried. At the hospital they confirmed what was happening, and then once everything seemed okay they sent me home. My boyfriend at the time was less than supportive, and as time went on I cried…
40:40 Day 15
Pampered Chef Parties made me nervous. Mostly because I was the one selling it. I’d cook in front of groups of women twice my age who had been using Pampered Chef since I was in elementary school and try to act like I knew what I was doing. I did love the products, but apart…
