A magnet on my refrigerator says, “We plan. God laughs.” I restarted blogging regularly on St. Patrick’s Day, and committed to sending you weekly emails that testify to the miracle of God’s tangible presence. Then circumstances sidelined my plan, and I learned (again!) that God loves laughter. The magnet on my fridge beckons me to…

I can finally type without pain. Hallelujah! My hands are still a little swollen and I’m not supposed to grasp and lift more than 5 lbs., but that restriction won’t keep me from sending a little bit of encouragement your way. While quite remarkable and worthy of praise to Jehovah Rapha, my speedy recovery from…

This morning I moaned in frustration to God. Another Wednesday had arrived and I was still in no condition to type and send a Mid-Week Miracle. I didn’t want to say anything to you about my hands because I just told you about my hip surgery and what happened when God didn’t heal me. But… I had…

Don’t you love it when you hear God loud and clear? I can always trust that it’s really him speaking to me when he speaks through a Bible verse. Sometimes when I meet with God in the pages of Scripture, words jump off the page with unmistakable force. That’s when I know without a doubt…

I believe that God will do what the Bible says he will do. Even so, I’m often amazed when I see him do the things he promised to do. My post last week about Mother’s Day reminded me of a miracle that God worked at my mom’s memorial service, which firmed up my belief that…

This is a story of how God showed up quite unexpectedly. My title is not original but for good reason. Every Day in His Presence is also the title of a daily devotional by Dr. Charles F. Stanley. I’ve never met him, but my father-in-law, who pastored a church in the Pacific Northwest, loaned Dr. Stanley…

At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. (Galatians 6:9b NLT) When I launched Mid-Week Miracle last month, I noted the name doesn’t promise that you’ll read a testimony about a miraculous healing or find a story about signs and wonders each week. (Although I did…

Last week, I wrote about a medical miracle. If you read last week’s Mid-Week Miracle, you may be wondering if I have a new hip or if God surprised me with a last-minute miracle. Well… I have a new hip AND God surprised me with a last-minute miracle. Miracles Come in all Languages The supernatural demonstration…
