The collecting of stories started unexpectedly. It was a day of deep peace when suddenly God shocked me into a conversation with Him! I was thinking about a Scripture that for decades had pierced my heart,”You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am He.”…. Isa 43:10
The words in my Bible became real as He gave me the assignment to collect 70 stories that are about HIM! I was sitting down, but bolted up straight. Our conversation was not audible, but was deeply heard. My first instinct was, ‘I can’t do that, I’m not a writer… I’m thinking He has the wrong person. Of course he heard that thought and a bit abruptly replied –
“Ok then, get 700.”
That was the beginning of Share God With Us in 2014. I knew this was not just ‘head talk’ when the first story He gave me was from a stranger I happened to be sitting next to in the Phoenix airport. This story is so unbelieveable … only God could write it!
It’s titled, ‘Angel in the ICU’. I’d suggest you start there too.
I never would have chosen to collect His stories, but it has been life altering as it is teaching me to trust Him unconditionally.
May His stories give you HOPE too.
With Blessings of Encouragement,
Sandy
