I’m wife to Gene aka “Sailor-Man,” mother of three married kids, grandma to thirteen of the planet’s cutest little people, and co-director of a missionary sending agency called International Messengers Canada.
Saturday marked the celebration of Kim Fox and David Long’s commitment to marriage. What a celebration it was! Everyone, it seems, felt God’s smile on the day.
We’ve seen God’s involvement in every detail of our daughter’s wedding–even in supplying a wonderful photographer.
God’s goodness in supply a wedding dress alteration specialist exactly when we needed one.
Outdoor venues for summer weddings are booked early. How would we find one with only five weeks notice? God opens closed doors, even for wedding venues.
My daughter’s three bridesmaids live in three different cities. How God answered impossible prayers for their bridesmaid dresses.
Two years ago, I added a couple of specific requests to my prayer for my daughter and her future spouse. Here’s how God answered.
Stories of God’s power encourage our faith. Here’s how I saw His power at work recently when He provided me with clothes I couldn’t normally afford.
Feeling weak? I am. Here’s a personal story that will encourage you today.
Jesus is real. He’s not a fairy tale, nor a figment of someone’s imagination. He’s the risen Son of God—alive and well and deserving our love and obedience.
I marvel at how God blessed the obedience of this woman who said yes to God’s call on her life despite it being far beyond her comfort zone.
When stuff happens, we decide how to respond. Our challenge is to maintain a God-honoring perspective.
I have no idea why God has allowed this to happen, but this one thing I know–He hears me when I cry for help and He will answer.
What would your joy quotient be if you lost your health and creature comforts? Joy remains possible thanks to the Lord’s presence in our lives.
A taste of German history made me shudder at the inhumanity of man. It also made me very thankful for freedom. It’s to be cherished and protected.
One young man–a special fellow who has known more hardship in 25 years than most of us will see in a lifetime–said, “I pray every night with my friend.”
When we rounded the corner leading to her house, I saw only an empty bench. I feared that she’d died since last summer, but suddenly she appeared in her doorway
I’m on the way to Romania again. Here are some highlights from the trip beginning with a running tour through London.
God doesn’t take a nap and then wake up to discover that–oh my goodness–something went terribly wrong on the earth while He rested His eyelids.
Do you believe in angels? I do. Too bad we don’t have goggles that allow us to see these spiritual beings. I have a hunch the view would astound us.
We need to shed our comfortable Christianity and start living in a way that forces us to depend on God’s power to survive if we want to grow in our faith.
Why did the driver drop us at the train station prior to the one our directions stated? Because Iwona was working there, and God is drawing her to Himself.
We enter battle mindful that God has given us the spiritual armor we need to conquer. And so we pray and move forward, expecting Him to grant victory.
When the service ended, she approached me again. Without a word, we embraced in a heartfelt hug and exchanged two more light kisses.
Women around the world share many similarities. One of them is the ability to make a soul connection in a short time.
We rounded the corner just as we did last year, and there she was…sitting outside her house, on the same bench, but without her craft project.
Spending my day like this wasn’t on my radar. I’m encouraged to know that it didn’t take God by surprise. He knows where that manuscript is.
Every time I’m tempted to stress over a lack of some sort or other, I remember that God knows my needs. I express my concerns to Him and thank Him in advance.
Suddenly one word popped into my mind: Daddy. I sensed that God had spoken, but what was He trying to tell me?
In January 2008, I flew to Florida and Indiana for two television interviews. In all my life, I’ve never played such a game of “Good News, Bad News.”
“The job description fits you and Grace,” he said. “May I give IM your names?” And so began our adventure into the realm of the impossible.
Have you ever wrestled with God’s ways not making sense? Honestly, sometimes I shake my head at how He boggles human logic.
My husband sat at the kitchen table, his head in his hands. “It’s time for a change,” he said. “I’m not interested in doing this any longer.”
As you and I walk faithfully with God day by day, we will leave a legacy not just for one generation but hopefully for several.
To say I felt overwhelmed would be an understatement. So what kept me going? Keeping my eyes on the One who is invisible.
He will fulfill – not always according to our understanding – but He will make good on His word. The details are His responsibility; believing Him is ours.
We prayed, reminding God that He’d promised to provide everything necessary for us to do His will. We told Him we believed He had directed us thus far.
