What a joy to read your introduction to Harpo Studios. Your words were real. Your emotions were honest. God is good all the time. Sometimes we forget that trust is huge. I have goosebumps as I play your strength of faith in my head. What a powerhouse and inspiration Wendy. Thank you. God Bless you and keep you and your family safe.

Hello, this message was perfect for me today, I had a battle w/forgiveness and just reading your info was what I needed to open my eyes more on forgiveness. I will be reading and studying w/you often... Thank you and God Bless You...
My story of being at a place God intended me to be started long before it happened. I went to an event that I thought was a waste of a day. On my 2 hour trip home I stopped at a yard sale (I can't pass those up), I bought a doctor's office Childrens Bible. I reminisce when I read them and I love the pictures. Well the Bible layed in my truck for a week.
I was selling things at a flea market the following weekend and a mexican family stopped and was looking around. The parents seen my Bible laying beside me on the tailgate of my truck and they said we are Christians too. I thought it was wonderful. They stated their son didn't have a Bible and they wanted one for him. I gave them a Bible I had ion my sale stuff (marked FREE) but they said the kids lose interest because it is hard for them to understand. I remembered I had the childrens Bible in my truck and gave it to them. They were so overcome with joy and grateful I could see it flowing from them in their face. I wouldn't take money form them for the Bibles bu tthey insisted. So I said the money they gave me would go to my church. So I stuck it in my Bible.
So God had this moment planned long before it happened!!
Just sharing Wendy,
I just finished today's devotions and immediately tears came to my eyes, because I am familiar with such experiences.
As a christian, we are often called by God to serve at the most unusual moments. I loved that about God.But I confess that lately, I've been going through a "selfish" period.In time, a great disequilibrium settled in my life.
When I finally got my head on straight by recommencing my daily worship, I was led to this devotional page.
I prayed and asked the Lord to restore such experiences into my life. To kill the selfishness and the fear of rejection and restore the connection that I used to feel when He would ask me to serve in any capacity.
I remember being most happiest in those times.
I love the Lord and I know He hears every cry and works with us.
I am sooo not worthy, but I thank Him for His Grace and Loving Mercies.
Thanks Wendy for posting this one.
I've been blessed.
May God continue to be with you and yours.
Hi Wendy,
I read your article on Encouragement for Today 09/23/09. It was a very nice story and prise God that you hear his voice but I was saddened to think that Memorial Day was just another holiday like so many think. If you want to be truly blessed visit a cementary that has a special program to honor our veterans who gave their life for our country. You'll understand the true meaning of Memorial Day. God Bless you as you listen to the voice of our Lord.

Dear Wendy, Thank you so much for your devotion called A Divine Appointment. Something similar happened to me today. I saw a man hitching a lift and I felt God tell me to go give him money for a bus fare. I turned the car around and went back and did just that. I said I couldn't give him a lift but here was money for a bus fare. He couldn't believe it. I said God Bless you and his face lit up! Only God knows what that meant to that man today. Lynn
Last Monday, my friend invited me to attend a workshop. Another lady entered the room looking for a place. After greeting her with a smile she tried 3 other tables; then, came to ours. She wasn't comfortable with sharing her first name; so mentioned quietly her last name. (Eventually, she said her first name.) At the end of the workshop a free dinner was provided.
At that point she began asking questions which turned into a counseling session with my friend and me the counselors. What disappointment, hurt, pain, and bitterness she's harboring. Yes, she's a Christian who said, "I know; but, I'm not ready to give up the bitterness." We each shared with her something from our own lives and God's gracious, loving forgiveness, followed by incredible peace and joy; held hands with her and prayed. At the door she turned and gave us each a hug.
We're praying for her. And that's our "divine appointment" this week.
Wow, once again you have made me weep while reading your Encouragement for today. (9-23-09)
I cannot explain the feeling that washes over me when I read and/or hear of things like this happening. God is sooo AWESOME!!!!! Thank you for sharing that story with us.
My name is Dave. I am 62 years old, and I just heard Wendy interviewed on the Gus Lloyd program. It took me up until a year ago to make a full commitment to God and start going to church regularly for the first time since childhood. Wendy's story validates my decision and stenghthens my faith in my belief that all things are possible through God. To me, the most powerful testimonies are when people like Wendy tell from first person, "What happened to me". I can't think of many things that are more important in life than forgiveness. Thank you, Dave
Wendy,
Thank you for opening your heart as you struggle with your daughters pain and suffering. I am a man and daily read the Proverbs 31 devotional. I forward these devotionals to my wifes email and she has also been encouraged! It was encouraging to me to see even in the rough times you are learning to lean on Him. I know the days sometimes can be long. And I know that you are touching the hearts of many with your ministry. Thanks for encouraging me! I am praying for you and your daughter! ~ Jay Davis jaysland@netzero.com
Wendy,
Thanks for your encouragement. I pray for your family especially for your daughter! I have also asked 'why me Lord'. My problem was not physical but emotional with my 2 older daughters. I thought I raised them in a christian way with strong faith and morals upto they were 25. Now one is suffering ADHD and cannot keep a job. The other one became a prodigal one in the moral sense that I still cannot imagine that she would ever take that path. Now, couple of years later, the prodigal one is returning almost back and I am almost at peace with ADHD problem by submitting both of them in God's hands. I pray that all my prayers will be answered in His time at the right way and I am thankful that I am more close to God! She still doesn't have a job or a real friend that she can confide in but I see some positive signs. I pray that your daughter will come out of her physical pain better than ever!

Dear Wendy,
I just read your devotional about your daughter's upcoming surgery. Our 14 year old son is being watched for worsening of the scoliosis. We go for more tests again next week. Your story touched my heart in more ways than one. Thank you for reminding us to trust God and let go. Healing comes in many ways. We are adding your daughter's name and surgery date to our daily family devotional prayer list. Keep looking up and .....get some sleep! (I noticed it wsa 3:00 when you posted the message.) Take care of yourself too.
Blessings,
A Friend
Wendy,
Praying for you and your precious girl today.
Psalm 4:8 (Amp Bible)
In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for You, Lord, alone make me dwell in safety and confident trust.
Much love and many blessings,

Wendy,
I have been blessed this morning from reading the P31 devotional that you have written. The scriptures that you shared inserting your name spoke to me. As I read them with my name inserted I began to weep. I am printing them and keeping them where I can see them during the day. To encourage me that God does love my daughters more then I can, that his ways are best...that I am not alone in this journey. My youngest who is six, was born with congenital heart defects and had open heart surgery when she was three months old and will need more at some point. She was also diagnosed with Autism about eighteen months ago. That one was a true kick in the gut! My other daughter is fourteen and has been cutting herself. I am feeling the assault of satan in my life, but armed with scripture can win!
Thank you so much for allowing God to use you to minister to me and all the others who read your words.
Stephanie
Wendy,
I pray that my words will encourage you as a mother who lost her son 71/2 years ago. I, too wish that it would have been me. I had lived a full life, his was just beginning. ( He was killed in a motorcycle accident when he was 21.) Why him? He was bright, studying engineering, full of life... told me a few days before his death he wanted to finish his engineering degree and then go to med school. It's hard when you see other young men who are wasting away their lives... here was a young man with a promising future. Why him? I, too am a Bible teacher, though that doesn't give us immunity from the fallen world we live in, but perhaps more insight. The beauty of your situation is, that you and your daughter are sharing with others, growing in your faith, learning together of God's love and plan for both of you. Though you ache for her and don't want her to suffer, you still have her. My daughter was 19 when Mathew died. The beauty from this is the closeness that we share as a family because we all understand what it means to love someone and lose them. Though I still don't understand, I know that God's ways are higher than mine and He has a greater plan than I do. I trust Him even when I can't understand the "why's".
Though my children who have had surgery did not face a surgery as complicated as your daughter is facing, as a mother I remember crying for days beforehand. The first time my son weighed 8 pounds, and I was so afraid that they could not give him little enough anesthesia. Turns out he has a high drug tolerance, unlike his mother who can sleep with anything! two years ago I had a lower back surgery. At the time the doctors recommended it, I was in shock. When three doctors recommended it, I found it hard to drive back home. I had always heard of people enduring excruciating pain, and I felt I was not there. Two months after the surgery, I remember asking the neurosurgeon if it was REALLY necessary. Youe see, I followed medical advice, but I still was not convinced. Two years later, I can say I recovered remarkably well, I KNOW beyond any doubt that the surgery really was the right course to take, and I realize that what I was experiencing was progressing to a point where there would have been no options. I will remember your daughter in prayers, but I will also remember you. Sometimes things are easier for the patient than for the family!
I feel this week that God is not even near to answer my prayers. I am all alone treading this world alone and my moods are horrible. Cant even live with myself. What is there for me?? I know God answers prayers I have seen too many times he has worked in my life and others around me. I dont want to live for the devil, I want a home in heaven whenever my times comes.
Wendy, I can relate to your daughter because since I was 16, I've had 6 spine surgeries related to scoliosis, with the last 2 this past summer. I know how frustrating it is to wear a back brace all that time and then find out it didn't do any good, and to give up what we love to do which for me was competitive running and horseback riding. I even had to sell my beloved horse because i knew she needed a home where she could be ridden regularly. None of this is easy, and the surgery is very painful, but it did help for me to have my parents tell me encouraging words in my ear. Next week I am meeting with a new orthopedic surgeon to see if he could help reconstruct my spine, so the stress is kind of high around here and waiting can be frustrating! I am in constant pain, can't sleep, can't eat hardly anything, and have a deformed spine that needs fixed desperately, but through all this my faith has really grown. I love Jesus with all my heart and am so grateful that I know him because I don't know how I'd get through everything without my faith and support from my family. I will be praying for you and your daughter and I hope that everything goes terrific, and that she will be free of her pain and straight! God Bless, Libbey
Dear Wendy, I read your devotion today about your daughter. I have a 14 year old daughter that has had numerous operations since birth. I have often cried out to God asking why? Wondering " how can I get through this, and what did I do wrong?" The Lord is faithful though, and I have learned through the years that God truly does not give us more than we can handle, even when we feel we cannot bear it any longer. God has brought the BEST doctors to us and she has come through each one like a champion. Our latest was back surgery for Kyphosis, which is a forward curvature of the spine. She had the operation in March and is doing fantastic - she grew almost 4 inches in 6 hours! God will watch over your daughter as He did with mine, and looking back now... God really doesn't give us more than we can handle.
Your family will be in our prayers! God Bless, Melanie
I am celebrating today that God's mercies are new every morning. Saturday was my daughter's 17th birthday and though we have had 4 years of rebellion and anger, it was a day of grace. I don't think she even realized that she spent the entire day, morning until bedtime, with her family. This is a girl who is always looking for ways to avoid being at home, to avoid eating with us (we all went out to dinner together), and in conflict with her younger brothers. What a sweet day we had and I celebrate that God is growing our children up and working in their hearts.
