The God of Every Story

There’s something about the end of the year and Christmas that stirs up stories in my heart.

Stories that make me laugh.

Stories that make me grateful.

Stories that make me shake my head in disbelief. {i.e. head-on collisions with monkey bars}

Today, in my Proverbs 31 Encouragement for Today devotion, I told the story of my melt-down Christmas several years ago. It wasn’t my best day, but God intersected that story and used my hard place to show me more of His heart and His perspective. He redeemed that day and it completely changed the way the story ended. {If you’d like to enter the giveaway and download the Christmas Prayer, I’ll share how at the end of this post.}

Do you ever think about your story and wonder what it would be like without Jesus?

Today, I’ve invited my very good friend, Melissa Taylor, director of P31 Online Bible Studies, to join me as we share a story God’s been writing for a while – in our lives and the lives of countless other. And, because you’re here today with us, I have a feeling you are part of this story too!

I wish I could sit with you over coffee and hear your story today.

I would love for us to talk about how “we” can link our ARMS, our HEARTS and our PRAYERS together and ask God to do something immeasurably more through us. Will you seek Him with us for prayer and provision as we raise money needed in our ministry to keep bringing Jesus’ hope, truth and love to women and families around the world.

 It’s a big number [$300,000]. An intimidating number. But it’s not too big for God.
Will you be part of God’s story with us today?

Every amount MAKES A DIFFERENCE: $5, $10, $25, $50, $500

Every gift MATTERS.

If you feel called to give, I’d love to be able to thank you.

  1. I am happy to give to Proverbs 31 Ministries, who have helped me immeasurably during my difficult times in relationships. Thanks so much for all the blessings and love,

    Stacie

  3. I was suggested this blog by means of my cousin. I’m
    no longer sure whether this submit is written via him as nobody
    else understand such specific about my problem. You’re incredible!
    Thank you!

  5. Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa?
    My website goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an email.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!

  7. I got this web page from my pal who told me about this web site and now this time
    I am browsing this web page and reading very informative content at this place.

  9. magnificent points altogether, you just received a new reader.
    What may you suggest about your post that you made a few days in the
    past? Any sure?

  10. Thanks for ones marvelous posting! I quite enjoyed reading it, you could be a great author.

    I will make certain to bookmark your blog and will eventually come back sometime soon. I want to encourage one
    to continue your great work, have a nice
    holiday weekend!

  11. If your skin is not properly moisturize, it will dry and age faster.
    Oils such as jojoba, linseed, evening primrose, and shea butter moisturizes.
    It becomes difficult to treat these scars and therefore acne must be treated with the help of oral drugs and topical creams
    and lotions.

  12. Anxiety and depression is common among hair loss
    sufferers, especially those experiencing
    total baldness. Zinc absorption and vitamin C intake could be synergistic.

    These products work the best in younger men who have only begun to lose
    their hair, and in those whose androgenetic alopecia is still in the early stages where hair is thinning but continuing to grow.
