Have you ever given God an ultimatum? I only did it because I was desperate. My husband, Steve, was not convinced God would be okay with my ultimatum. Until I quoted the scripture that kept running over and over in my head. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will…
Husbands and wives need to be on the same page, right? Soon after our son’s April wedding, Steve and I finally agreed to move forward with downsizing. If you read last week’s What Happened in April, you may have followed the link to a July 2021 post about the magnet on my refrigerator that says,…
Do you like it when God tells you to wait? I guarantee that at least 99 times out of 100, I’m not happy about it. I wrote about one of the rare times I welcomed waiting in my July 2021 post, When God Laughs. I told the story of delaying our decision to downsize, but…

Has God ever given you a disguised blessing? I received an unwanted “gift” from God recently. The blessing in disguise came in direct response to my own prayers, but I didn’t recognize the blessing. Probably because I ended up in urgent care. I wrote about my miraculous healing testimony in a previous Mid-Week Miracle titled,…
Ever notice that God likes to speak in cryptic phrases? For example, my girlfriend Andi told me that once during our worship gathering, she heard the words “feed my sheep” drop into her spirit.
