This is such a lovely, well-written story. Thanks for sharing it! And welcome to the High Calling Blogs network. We hope you feel "at home" there. And we're tickled pink to have you! :)

Janet, first, welcome to The High Calling. I'm so glad you've joined our blog network. I love the look, writing and theme of your site and will look forward to reading more of it in the days/weeks to come. Second, how fun to read your story! My hubby and I-we've been married 16 years in July-met in a touring group (a 2-year commitment, after which I almost had to be committed!) of young adults, dated on the road, and got married right after the tour ended. We, too, were poor graduate student newlyweds with a roach-infested apt. and a grocery budget that had a huge line item for "PRAY!" I'd love to have coffee sometime and swap ministry-life stories, but since I'm in TX and you're in CA, I guess we'll have to settle for visiting one another's blogs. :) Have a great weekend, and again, thanks for joining THC!

Such a beautiful story. I loved the quote about your prayer being better than a bus ticket. Who knows? This man may have not just been an angel, but the Lord in disguise

New "culture/arts" blog - appears to be for a new movie about the civil war in Uganda, the child slaves, and a story of redemption

Caroline, I love this! I'm trying to live in the moment, too-embracing every bush that's afire with God. And I'm so, so glad you've joined The High Calling blog network. I can't wait to read more of your excellent writing. I have two boys, adore bacon and avocados (sometimes, on the same sandwich!) and love mission work (it's how I met my husband). Your ministry sounds amazing, and I can't wait to hear more about it as you share your stories and experiences with our bloggers.

Wonderful post! Thanks for sharing your journey, and for joining the High Calling network. I pray you'll find it a warm, encouraging, and challenging place to be.

I love this story. And I'm thankful you shared it--and that you felt led to join the High Calling network. Welcome! :)

Cute story! And good for you--for "Carpe diem"-ing. I need to do that more. :) Welcome to High Calling Blogs; we're glad to have you in the network!

Dawn, thanks for sharing such a story-of scandalous grace, the kind the world won't ever "get" without knowing our Jesus. We're really glad you've joined our High Calling community. Let us as editors know if we can serve you in any way. (I'm sharing this post via our HC Twitter account, by the way. It deserves to be read widely!)

New CULTURE member. When I was in the middle of my divorce, my good friend often said to me, "God doesn't waste any of our pain." And you know what? She was right! Welcome to The High Calling!

What an incredible story of God's protection! I was so struck by the fact that you had the presence of mind, or maybe the Presence of God, to think to pull on the emergency break.  So glad to welcome you to The High Calling!

I love this story. :) How I can relate! I'm really glad you've joined The High Calling. Welcome to the network, and please let me know if you need anything or have questions.

What an incredible story. Thanks for sharing it…and for being a light in the darkness. We're very excited to have you as a new member of the High Calling network of blogs. I hope you'll find a like-minded community of believers here. Let me know if I can help in any way-I'm one of the welcome editors. Bless you

I was just listening to this song the other day while painting, and it reminded me of the story of the astronaut who requested the song be played on a space shuttle flight. Imagine - God of wonders, beyond our galaxy - and seeing beyond! Welcome to The High Calling!

The quote about Kirk Cameron made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that! :) And thanks for your insights on this subject. I heartily agree that Christians can (and should) do better. I did like Soul Surfer, however. The fact that it was based on a true story helped the believability to me. But I did think that they glossed over the struggle that the surfer-girl went through. It was more a dark minute of the soul. :) Welcome to The High Calling. I can't wait for you to dig in and become acquainted with our wonderful community. I hope you'll do that soon.

Haven't heard it put just this way before, but it makes so much sense! Can't wait to read more of your posts. We're glad to have you as a new member of The High Calling!
