I was flying from Durban to Johannesburg, SA for a ministry trip. As hubby and I sat down, I was reading, minding my own business and I had this impression that the guy sitting next to us was worried about his kids' future. Not knowing quite how to approach him, I asked God what to do. Then I felt I should ask him whether he has any kids, if the question was affirmative I felt I should ask him what they wanted to be when they grew up. Turns out he has three kids. He totally opened up about the one wanted to be a lawyer, the other a formula one racing driver, the other one was just too small. Then I shared what I had from God. He was so encouraged, he didnt have a personal walk with Jesus, but was both delighted and shocked that I could know such details about him without knowing him. God was just so amazing in how he showed me how to handle this man. It really blessed me as well and stretched my faith to trust God to speak again in the lives of strangers so that He can be revealed.

I was camping a couple of weekends ago with my family and was reading "Walking with God" one morning after breakfast. I had read the part about God speaking through nature. I stopped, put the book down and asked, "LORD, would you speak to me through nature or is that just a John Eldredge thing?" About 10 seconds after I asked the question, I see a bird fly into a bush right in front of me and starts eating the little berries. I ask, "Was that something for me?" I then hear, "I provide for you". And I instantly think about the verse in Matthew 6. Another few seconds go by and I hear a woodpecker start going nuts (I had not heard it until then). In my heart, "My love for you is relentless". I ask, "Is that it or do good things come in 3's?" Just then our dog barks and I think, "God is watching over me." It had to be one of those God-incidences. What a blessing to hear a personal message from a personal God!

I am a 17 year old girl who will be going to college in the fall, so naturally I am struggling with sin and peer pressure. I've been feeling in a rut latley and I needed inspiration. So I went to the library and saw your book. Something tugged at my heart to purchase the book and I am so glad I did! I had a quiet time with God after reading the first 30 pages or so. I heard him say Psalm 37 and Luke 4. I really have been struggling with finding the right group of friends and when I read this Psalm it was amazing. Luke reminded me of why I am here and what Jesus went through to put me here.
