“Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think” Ephesians 3:20

God has an amazing way of bringing people together!  Author Jeannie Taylor sent us this story.

A woman was talking on the phone with her lonely 19-year-old daughter, Amber, who was away at school.  It broke her mom’s heart.  As they talked, mom prayed for God to show her how she could help Amber.  After she hung up, the mom turned on the radio and heard Women Today!  That day featured Jeanie’s story about her son in Iraq.   Amber’s was also a military family.

The mom hesitantly wrote Jeanie.  It turned out that Amber attends school about a mile from Jeannie’s house!  She took Amber to her church where the ladies gave her lots of hugs and encouragement.  Amber’s mom was thrilled!

Yes, God and answered prayer, are amazing!

“give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Stephanie’s dream was to be an author, but family obligations took priority.
When she was forty, however, the urge to write hit again.
She wondered if it was from God.

Friend, you might be wondering about your dream.  Is it God’s best for your life?

Well, at first Stephanie’s prayers were filled with doubt.
Then she heard Charles Stanley speak about prayer and fasting.
So she abstained from eating while the family was away.  It left her with more time for God.
As she prayed and released her dream to God, His Word spoke to her heart.
Her dream was confirmed.  Writing was God’s will for her!
Jesus then took Stephanie Reed with her God-given ability to write and used her for His glory.
And, dear one, God can do the same for you.  Give Him your dream today!
