God-Story #30: David
Friday, February 24, 2012 at 12:01PM Almost a year ago I was suddenly experiencing double vision. It was debilitating, and I was not able to work. Life changed suddenly, and not for the better. It took several weeks to get in to see a specialist, and several more to schedule the surgery I needed. My particular condition is rare, and few doctors know about it, let alone know what to do about it. My doctor was aware of it, but had never treated a patiant with it. She recomended sugery but made no promises. Unfortunately my vision was even worse after the surgery. I was devistated. I was praying about it, but when you are in the middle of a problem such as this it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. To make a long story short, another doctor suggested doing the surgery over with a slight variation. After several months of healing, my vision has improved enough to return to work. PRAISE GOD!
What makes this a God Story is two fold. First, it is amazing what God has revealed to doctors about the human body and how to heal it. But the second part of this God Story started 25 years ago when he gave me the job that I have. Most people have jobs that alow them to have a few weeks at most of paid sick leave. I had saved up enough to cover my seven months away from work. How amazing is that.

God-Story #28: Maria
Friday, February 24, 2012 at 11:55AM For some time now I had not been satisfied with the life I was living. I kept doing things at my job to get recognition and get promoted but no matter how hard I tried I never got the position I would apply for. My home life wasn't any better. I was ready to throw in the towel and call it quits on my marriage. At times I would think of just running away from it all and I'd contemplate how I could move to a small town get a job as a waitress or housekeeper for motel and not have to deal with the problems, the disappointments or self-loathing i felt throughout my day. I had been raised in one type of religion or other and had always gone to church so I did believe in God and that Jesus died on the cross for me, but the significance of that sacrifice was merely a faint whisper of what I use to feel. My hunger for the Lord was gone. The only light in my life was my 14 year old son who definitely had chosen to build his relationship with Christ on his own. I can't begin to explain the guilt i felt as he'd come into our room and ask if we were going to church and my response would be no. After a while the knocks stopped coming...
God-Story #11: Charles
Saturday, November 5, 2011 at 4:40PM After prayful consideration of the 90-Day Tithe Challenge, Jane and I checked our financial status. After adding up our income, we could see that we needed to increase our giving to meet the Challenge. Even though we know that God does amazing things, we were still surprised this week when a notice came that an investment made several years ago was going to return our capital and any accrued interest. Praise God. This was totally unexpected as we were not sure that any of money would be returned.

God-Story #8: Bill
Tuesday, October 11, 2011 at 5:51PM As most of you know that last March I almost died from a infection but for the grace of God and a miracle from Him I pulled through. I have been going through this type of illness since Aug. 2002. It all started then, with what they called gallstone pancreastitis. Serveral times since then I have had very serious condition and only had a little chance to make it throug.I prayed over and over, was prayed for, hands laid on me , and even anointed with oil wanting a maracle. Ever time God spoke to me and said I will make you well but through the doctors. So His maracle was sending the right doctors. A lot of them could not believe that I would make it through. They always came up with the right things to do to keep me alive. It was just the Lord working in the background...
God-Story #6
Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 2:24PM Our family had been praying about doing the 90-day tithe challenge b/c our finances are ALWAYS a major stress to us and there never seems to be quite enough. While pondering this possibility about the 90 day challenge, we got a HUGE property tax bill in the mail...one we had never received before. This, of course, was a major stress b/c we already couldn't pay all the bills and we were wanting to be faithful about tithing, but this bill just seemed to take us, yet again, down the road of "we can tithe later...when we have the money to do so". Then, not 3 days later, we received a letter in the mail stating that the bill that was sent, was sent in error b/c we are paying our taxes through our mortgage company...So, bill taken care of and 90 day challenge...Here we come!! Not quite sure how things are going to go, but are quite sure about the God we serve!
Praise God!!
