New Book now FREE on Kindle thru Thursday

Thank you to everyone who has already taken advantage of my book available FREE on Kindle, now through Thursday, June 14, 2018.

I pray God uses it to bless you.

Paperback also available on Amazon with interior illustrations accompanying most stories.

I was suddenly woken by an impressionable thought. It was a Sunday. The thought, not my own, said, "Your God stories are not yours, they are Mine, and they are meant to be shared." I knew it was God speaking to me.

This is a collection of sixty-two true stories from personal experience that will inspire the believer, as well as show a doubting world that God exists. Stories tell how God rescues from danger, clears a storm for safe travel, makes money miraculously appear, sends angels to help, and answers prayer. You’ll discover the various ways God protects, provides, redeems, encourages, communicates, and delights those who are looking for Him. If that’s you, these stories will help you identify God’s miraculous presence in your own life.

These are His stories, and they are meant to be shared.

If you are seeking stories on specific topics, a list in the back of the book groups stories in categories. Topics include protection, provision, guidance, healing, answered prayer, angels, and small miracles.

There is nothing special about me. I am only ordinary person. The only One who is truly amazing is the Almighty God, His Son and Savior Jesus, and the Holy Spirit who comforts and guides us. He is the One I wish to point you to. He is the only One who can do the miraculous. I trust He will use these stories to draw you closer to Him, to prove His great power, and reveal His deep love for you.

I can’t predict what God intends to do with these stories. I know He’s going to use them; otherwise He wouldn’t have been so persistent in getting me to share them. Nor would He allow me to experience Him in these events in the first place. A part of me struggled with publishing this book. Sharing some of these personal stories means I had to be vulnerable. Yet God constantly reminded me that when I gave my life to Him I also became His vessel to be used for His purposes. These stories aren’t about me; they are about Him. They are His stories, and like He said, they are meant to be shared.

Re-Routing a Package Wrongly Delivered

Last Friday I had the best morning standing up to injustice helping a customer right a very comical wrong. I know accidents happen, and I'm sure FedEx didn't intentionally deliver my package to the wrong store, but they did. Normally when a person sees a package that isn't intended for them they notify the delivery service the parcel isn't theirs. But that's not what happened. The previous Wednesday the owner of the wrong store signed for the package with her own name. She then unboxed the greeting cards and placed them for sale in her store.

My customer called me to ask if I knew when her cards would be delivered. I researched to tracking number, saw it was delivered two days prior, and who signed for it. Learning the signature belonged to the store owner across the street, I called the neighboring store to ask if she had my customer’s package. She admitted she received the package, saw the other store owner's name on the package, but thought she ordered them for herself. This is when I knew then I was talking to an irrational person. She became argumentative and oppositional to returning the cards to the rightful owner. She insisted I let her pay for the cards, but I was oppositional to her suggestion. First, that would delay my customer from receiving her order she already paid for; and second, I don’t have an account with her store. Not taking any responsibility for her mistake, she chose instead to hung up on me.

After talking to my customer again, I thought it best to accept payment from the pillaging store owner for fear the irrational woman would spitefully damage the merchandise.  I called the pilfering store owner to say I would accept her payment for the items. She replied with hostility and hung up on me a second time.

I followed this by contacting FedEx. After a good laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation, they initiated a claim. Realizing this constituted theft, I also called the local police to ask them questions. They suggested I file an incident report and gave me dispatch's phone number. Dispatch insisted on sending out an officer who would contact me, which he did, right away. He asked if I could text him an image of my cards, the invoice, and the recipients signature. Modern convinces, I love it. In a short time, the officer retrieved the cards and returned them to their rightful owner.

Maybe this wouldn't constitute a fun morning for you, but I love righting the wrongs, standing in the gap for what is right. I read a powerful statement in Norman Brown's book, "Among The Wolves," that reminded me I am not of the Christian religion, I'm of a Kingdom. This truth has given me boldness to seeing myself as a resident in His victorious Kingdom while here on earth, allowing me to stop being afraid of evil and to stand up to injustice for the greater good.
