I was nearing desperation
and made the commitment to pray until I sensed break-through. Allen and I also
decided to give a “break-through” offering that we couldn’t afford, following
the scriptural principal of giving over and above our tithes, and asking that
the windows of heaven be opened and a blessing poured out.
Six
years ago, Julia McKenzie ran away from the man she’d thought she might
marry, wanting to experience more of life. Now, at age twenty-three,
she’s experienced more than she’d ever expected, only to wish she’d made
different choices. Was it too late to go back, and would the man she
cared for understand the direction her life has taken and love her in
spite of her choices?
WHEN GOD COMES THROUGH---JUST IN TIME
by Miralee Ferrell
My husband Allen and I have hit a lot of financial hurdles over the years, but this particular one brought a truck load of stress, and we felt like it was about to bury us. We didn’t know what else to do but try to sell our home to get out from under the load, but we’d put our house on the market three different times over a three year period with no success. This time nothing appeared to have changed.

My husband Allen and I have hit a lot of financial hurdles over the years, but this particular one brought a truck load of stress, and we felt like it was about to bury us. We didn’t know what else to do but try to sell our home to get out from under the load, but we’d put our house on the market three different times over a three year period with no success. This time nothing appeared to have changed.
Two weeks passed, then three,
and we continued to press into the Lord, asking Him to provide a buyer. One
evening I hit a low, something very unusual for my upbeat personality, and I began
to cry out to Him, pleading for mercy and that He’d give us hope.
Not long after, I began to
praise Him and then settled into a time of listening with my spirit. I heard,
very softly the following words… “One week.”
One week—what? We didn’t even have anyone looking. Maybe He meant that
within a week, someone would view it, and we’d start the process…Maybe…a ton of
scenarios flooded my mind but that voice persisted. One week.
Two days later a friend
called. Their relatives were flying in and looking for a house—this friend
believed our place in the country was just what they wanted. Could they come in
two days? Husband and wife spent several hours walking the property and
talking, and then they returned for another visit the following day. That
evening, they called with an offer, and the next day we signed earnest money
papers. A total of six days had passed from the time the Lord told me one week!
Our faith was increased ten-fold, and our needs were met. God is faithful, even
when things appear at their most desperate.
Wishing on Buttercups, historical romance by Miralee Ferrell
Can Love Survive When Secrets Collide?
She’d
kept her secrets safely hidden—those from her past, and those in the present.
Some things, Beth Roberts knows, a lady simply doesn’t share, even in the
1880’s West. The townspeople would never understand. No one ever has.
Jeffery
Tucker, a handsome young writer, has kept his own secrets. He doesn’t have a
right to pry into Beth’s affairs but finds himself strangely drawn to her and
intrigued by the whiff of mystery surrounding her.
Beth
knows that one day someone will unravel the threads of her past. And when two
men from her past arrive, the truth might just hurt . . . Beth’s future and her
heart.
As
shadowy memories surface, Beth sketches the scenes she sees and is shocked by
what—and who—her illustrations reveal. Dare she risk her heart again?
FORGET ME NOT by Miralee Ferrell
Pastor Seth Roberts had worked for years to
convince himself that the girl he’d loved and lost didn’t matter, and
he’d almost succeeded—until she turned up in Baker City, hundreds of
miles from where they’d courted.

married daughter lives nearby, and they often ride together on the wooded
