(For Christian’s story, visit Barcodes and Street Signs) Our story began in December of 2016, the week after my mom’s liver transplant. I had come home for the week from Mayo Clinic for some rest and was still reeling over everything that had just taken place. It was both the most stressful and most miraculous…

See You In The Morning☀️
As many times as my mom faced terminal illness, one would think I would have thought about what I’d say at her funeral one day. But I promise you, no matter how much you go through over the years: when you’re 28 and learning how to be a mother yourself, nothing prepares you to give…
Not By Sight
For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7 Every year after winter, when all the leaves are coming back on the trees, I start worrying about this dogwood tree in our front yard. Dry as a bone, ashy, no new leaf buds to be found, you could snap a branch in half…
Captive
You cannot keep birds from flying over your head, but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair. Martin Luther The purpose of this website is to share miracles– sights of God in ordinary life. When most of us think of miracles, we think of healings, circumstances outside of our control turning…
The Atheist Christian
I was an atheist. I hated the church. Hated God most days, and that’s assuming I actually acknowledged Him or even a higher power. I was not born into the church as some were, if there is such a thing. People who grew up in it also face some challenges that people who weren’t born…

I Will Give Nations For You
We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history. E. G. White God tells us over and over again, “Do not be afraid.” “Fear not.” “Be anxious for nothing.” I can only imagine God put this sentiment…
The Transplant Chronicles: Part 2
Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you. John 16:22 I left off telling of the dream I had after crying out to God to show me He was with me. It’s interesting how even if we’re inundated…
The Transplant Chronicles: Part 1
As sure as the sun will rise, and take away the night, His mercy will not end. Ellie Holcolmb– As Sure As the Sun The Bible is full of accounts and recounts of all the things God has done for His people, all the ways He has led them and all the miracles He has…
Open Doors
See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Revelation 3:8 Have you ever thought you knew exactly what you wanted to happen in your life, only to be left feeling surprised (and…
