Anne Lamott is the author of “Traveling Mercies,” “Grace, Eventually,” and “Plan B.” All of these contain her thoughts on faith. She and Sara Miles are two of my favorite Christian authors. They both get into the trenches of faith and don’t pull any punches about how hard it is to live this life. Continue reading “Elevator”
I would like to share an amazing testimony by Carol Murray with you today.
Here is the story how she wrote it:
I was between 7 or 8 at that time, when my friends and I were playing with a ball. The ball got away from me and rolled down the street. Trying to catch it, I ran in between two parked cars and when I got out to grab the ball, there was a car coming my way that I did not see at all. When I ran out into the street I felt pressure in my stomach. It pushed me back so strong that it bent my whole body in a way that the car missed me by inches. The car was running so fast that if it hit me it would have killed me.
When I read this testimony, I got chills all over my body. I just couldn’t believe that something that extraordinary could have happened. I’m so sure that God does these miracles in our life to remind us how fragile our life is and how powerful and strong He remains forever.

I just want to share with all of you a reminder that God is always with us and gives us the encouragement that we need to keep walking in faith. You see, I posted just this picture that I found with the poem by Helen Steiner Rice last night with Jeremiah 29:11, a verse that I have to hold onto every day. Then this morning, October 6, as I read my devotional, “Jesus Calling”, these words just jumped out at me…
“Be willing to follow wherever I lead. Follow me wholeheartedly with glad anticipation quickening your pace. Follow though you don’t know what is ahead. I know and that is enough. Some of My richest blessings are just around the bend: out of sight but nevertheless, very real. To receive these gifts, you must walk by faith, not by sight…”
So I add these words to my posting to give the Glory to God and a reminder to all to trust God as He leads. We never know what He has planned just “around the bend.”
