God’s Little Surprises
Until a couple of weeks ago, I had as my summer goal, to find a reader to read my God’s Little Miracle Book ( I, II, & III). I hadn’t done anything toward attaining that goal. It was like I was in a holding pattern.
On a Friday night I was up half the night unable to go to sleep. When this happens, I often get up to write my prayers. This night I felt the Lord telling me to lay down my plans. I didn’t know what those plans were, but I obeyed.
The next morning I hauled out of bed to get to the 9:00 a.m. prayer meeting at church. After the prayer meeting, a girl I had only met a couple of times at that meeting said to me, “I just love to listen to you read.”
No one had ever said that to be before. I don’t feel I read well. Was I to read my own books?
She said with a laugh, “You look like you’ve just seen a mountain.”
“I have,” I replied. The thought of recording those books myself was overwhelming.
Quickly I said, “A recording studio is very expensive. Sixty-five dollars an hour, at least.”
“Oh, that’s no problem. I have some friends who have a recording studio.”
Was this some kind of conspiracy? Did God really intend me to read? I gave her my card so she could give it to her friends.
I didn’t hear from anyone by the next Thursday when I was at the library. I checked out their new MakerSpace that has a sound-proof recording booth for–free! All I had to do was make a reservation online as if I was reserving a study room and I was in.
On Friday, a blog I read regularly had an article about recording your own book. Just in case I missed it, a good friend sent the same article to me. Everywhere I turned His will kept popping up.
It’s a new learning curve for an old dog, but given enough time and the help of the Lord, I’ll get these tracks down. Then I can upload them to Amazon ACX and those books will be available for those too sick or blind to read. Hopefully, this work will strengthen and encourage them.
I never cease to be amazed at God’s plans that are far above and beyond anything I could dream up or imagine!

Sally, what an amazing story! Your reading of your own writing will bring many blessings!
Thanks, Charlotte.
Thumbs up on reading your book because you are following God’s plan. He comes up with some incredibly amazing nudges doesn’t he? I have yet to make Ice Cream in a Bag but it sounds delicious and dangerous for ice cream to be 5 minute away.
That is a scary though, isn’t it Evie!
To be honest Sally I just Don’t! understand Technology and I have often thought about going back to Smoke Signals or Two Tins and a bit of String 🙁 but yes I do understand the need to Wait on The Lord, which means to Trust Him as He leads us not doubting that He will work everything out for good in our Lives, we have His Promise He will and He always keeps His Promises.
I wish you well with your recording Sally and I will pray too that God will use your Messages to touch the Hearts of His Children.
Christian Love Always – Anne.
Thanks, Anne.
