My boyfriend worked in the lumber business and was a widower for quite some time before we married. In all those years, he never cleaned out the house his first wife had lived in. She was a hoarder and the task was daunting. A few years before we married I had to have back surgery, …
A couple years into building our small business, I hit a big challenge. My only supplier shook their head and said there was nothing more they could do to help with certain production concerns. It was critical to production that this problem be solved or we were done. I left the meeting in disbelief and …
I was chatting with a woman I had just met at yoga when she asked what I do. Somehow when I tell people, “I collect stories about what God does in people’s’ lives”, it usually takes them aback, and they just say – “Huh”. But my new friend gladly shared, “I have a story!” I …
We had a flood the day before we moved into our 1726 antique house, so the basement floor was covered with a slimy mud. The hand hewn tree trunk beams were encrusted with spider web grime yet all our ‘storage’ boxes had been delivered into this filthy pit. It was our 4th move in 3 …
This morning I was in the doctor’s office for an appointment to schedule surgery. While I waited, I paged through the National Geographic that was in the magazine rack. I so enjoyed it, had had the magazine when the kids were small but haven’t gotten it in decades. I thought to myself, “I should order …
My friend and I were born-again Christians, and we were on fire for Christ. We prayed for a way to grow our faith and remembered that our Christian college had sponsored a group of runners the summer before to run across the country and share the Gospel from the Pacific to the Atlantic. We loved …
Life is challenging, but oh what peace we receive when we fully lean on the Lord. The heavy storms in late Feb through May (literally it rained out here every day) carried with them damage for everyone…including our ranch. The earth was so wet, our pastures were filled with four inches of rain for weeks. …

In February of 2016, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and at about the same time, my mother lay dying. She had lived half paralyzed for 5 years from a stroke and in the past month had deteriorated to the point where she could barely swallow without choking, and had lost her speech. She was …
I am a cardiology nurse practitioner. I have a patient in my clinic who had a stroke a few years ago that has affected his memory. His favorite pastime was scripture memory. I would always ask him to share with me where he was in his memory “habit”. He last recited Psalm 46 to me. …
During my husband’s heart attack, he had to be revived 4 times. Just before the 4th time, he experienced walking through flowing grasses, the gentle breeze he felt and the lovely road with a tunnel of light that he was going forward to…. This was decades ago, before it was socially acceptable to share a …
HOUSING I had gone through a very difficult year with the death of our middle son from on overdose. The multiple, unceasing prayers of many people were answered in a way we did not expect when God took Jeff to heaven for his eternal healing. The following summer after his death I decided to try …
I was walking with my dog and saw a woman in her yard with a leaf blower. My leaf blower was giving me trouble so I asked her what kind of blower she had as it looked good and rugged! She told me then immediately started to complain about the sticks and the trees on …
“Now faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” Romans 10:17 A Servant of God, to all my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus: I remember the moment last year that I found a gigantic box of Bibles in my sister’s garage. I was so excited! I STOLE a bunch of them, …
I was living in fear for my husbands’ life. Crazy as it was I saved every text and voicemail. He was working under the protection of the law, but I felt no security in that. Unrelated to our security concerns, one afternoon he was the victim of road rage. The raging man was following him …
I will admit, I was on the phone, hands free, but still talking on the phone while driving home from work. ‘Something’ told me to change lanes, which I really don’t do that often. But I moved over a lane, not really paying attention to why. Suddenly, the semi-truck that was in the lane I …
