A Cup of Gratitude

Season 7 - Special Episode #4 (Episode 26)

Amanda Schaefer Season 7 Episode 26

Welcome to the final episode of the Summer Break Series Snap-shot Edition. I cannot believe what an amazing Series this has been. If you haven't had a chance to listen to them all, go back and start on special episode #1. I tell you, these are so encouraging and inspiring! God gave me the idea to discuss with people about the new things that he's doing in their lives, and boy, is God working overtime. I'm particularly excited to share something new God is doing in my life this week. This wasn't my original plan. My original plan was to share four different friends and have them come back on the podcast and share their new things, but one of them could not do it. Because of that, I returned to prayer, asking God who I should ask. To my surprise, God responded, 'I'm doing some new things in your life; why don't you share?' I agreed, thinking it might encourage our regular listeners to hear about the new things God was doing in my life. Little did I know, the incredible new thing He was about to do was just around the corner. This week, you'll hear the newest miraculous story God wrote in my life. He sent me on an adventure, stringing new things to new things. God completely changed the trajectory of my life step by step, obedience by obedience, blessing by blessing. He connected each new thing to bring about this "newest" thing: my being able to sign a traditional publishing contract for the book. He had me stop everything else to write. This is not just an encouraging and inspiring episode for you but also for me. If you ever feel discouraged or doubt that God is in the details, I urge you to listen to this. The things God does are truly amazing, and I'm excited to share them with you. When I dreamed of this opportunity, I told God, “I want you to do this so that when I point to you, people know nobody, but you did it.” Wait until you hear all that He did! God strung together miracles for me! So settle in and listen to this episode about the goodness of God. He's doing a new thing in your life, too. Do you perceive it? Will you step out and follow Him? I promise you will have an incredible story to tell if you do.
