grit and glory

Awesome! I love reading these stories and no matter how many different miracles I read about I get goosebumps each and every time. And its so much more wonderful knowing that its taking place through Thrive…. God is amazing! You must be itching to get back home :)

I need a miracle too……and some days it’s hard to convince myself it’s possible….but stories like this brighten my outlook….strengthen my resolve and my faith..and make me want to believe in a miracle for myself too….so thank you very much for sharing this ….God is so good

I am so excited that you guys put that story of Thomas up on the website. He was an absolutely amazing man. So many other great miracles happened on Thrive Trip this year. This trip was a great reminder to me of how our God still does miracles. Thanks for posting this Alece. Making me think of good times in South Africa. : )

thanks for sharing this…God has been working this week in my head and my heart…this was just another piece to that puzzle…He’s been working in me to see the things that i need to BEG Him for…things that He alone can do…

I’m believing in miracles….

Not only for:

Myself but also for friends

tamara — i’m praying for you. right now.

mandie — thanks again for serving with us this summer… and i can’t believe so many of you came and went without me ever getting to meet you! shame.

jon mark — mmm… i haven’t “begged” Him for something in a long time. thank you for that reminder.

Yeah….God is a miracle working God…I need to remember that today!

you still sick???

makes me wanna cry

you’re allowed to.

YAY! thanks for posting those alece! i’m believing God for several miracles myself, and this was encouraging to read.

God is showing me much about His faithfulness. It makes me smile to see someone else being reminded of the same things.

Blessings to you on your miracles! :)

i’m so glad you’re encouraged. THAT encourages ME!

if only to have faith like that woman! There are so many wonderful believers like her and then there are the people like me. I believe but it is clouded with doubt. But on the other hand I trust God and never doubt His faithfulness. Maybe it’s the big things I have a hard time believing for. I don’t know. I guess you could say it will take a miracle to fix the situation with my brother. Or better yet it will take a miracle to break him and his girlfriend up!! MUA-HA-HA!!!
What are you believing God for?

Thank you for that.

faith — ever see “angels in the outfield”? there’s a sweet little boy who frequently says, “it could happen…” that’s what i heard when i read your comment.

what am i believing God for? a lot. a lot, a lot, a lot.

oh my gosh that is so funny!! That movie was on last night and Conrad was watching part of it!! And I am still holding out hope that “it will happen”!! Thanks!

yep
yep
and
fyp

That’s it exactly..it’s the trusting that yes, He is the same yesterday, today and always…and yes, He is still in the miracle business…..for us!

Love you!!! :)

[...] really working this week. Jon’s post is hitting me. Just like Kristi’s did. Just like Alece’s did. Just like so many others are right [...]

btw, i think i’ve forgotten to tell you lately, that even though i’ve never met you in the flesh…

i thoroughly enjoy you.

Hearing builds faith. Hearing other stories builds our faith that He will do it again. I do need encouragement. Thanks for posting these!

faith — it was on last night! i haven’t seen it since i was a kid. hmph.

joy renee — wow. thank you! (and… you are so gorgeous!)

I loved those stories.
L-o-v-e-d.

Those are amazing! I’m all tingly.

I love you. a lot. ;-)
