I could only pray three words. I trust you. God's story? Your life. Unfolding short stories.

Scripture tells us that every good gift comes from God. But what do we do when a good gift is taken away?

I had the privilege of working with Kim Snyder years ago.

Her voice was a gift.

It was her life.

She sang, she voiced projects, she worked in Christian radio at the highest level.

that special room where they told him I wouldn't survive. And as I slipped away, Jesus met me.

He appeared to me as a massive lion with the most indescribably kind, loving eyes. And he pulled me in,

nose to nose. And he didn't say a word. But without saying a word, he told me that he had me
