Few people imagine themselves doing what Gwen and Suzanne are
doing—raising thirteen children between their two respective
families, with seven of their kids arriving by way of adoption. But
Gwen and Suzanne didn’t imagine themselves doing it either—not
until they took one simple step of biblical obedience, followed by
the next step, which led to the next step, until God turned each of
these believing steps into a full, steadily enriching journey of
togetherness, challenge, friendship, love, adventure, tears, faith,
confidence.
All the makings of an impossibly joyful life.
And for those who find themselves stuck somewhere between fear and
inferiority, between doubt and disillusionment, tired of bare
spiritual minimums but unable to spot a path that takes them to
anything more meaningful, the simplicity of this message could
finally reveal how God can work through their ordinary selves and
their uncertain steps of surrender to make His presence
overwhelmingly known in their lives.
From China to Uganda, east and west throughout the United States,
with daily, hourly, moment-by-moment prayer excursions between
earth and heaven, these stories and their humble beginnings will
inspire you to start again, right where you are—embracing the one
opportunity for obedience, love, or service that’s staring you in
the face today, and watching God stretch it (and you) into
something (and into someone) that you never imagined
possible.
