I met Denise when she came to speak at our Turnaround ladies’ meeting one Saturday morning a few weeks ago. That morning wasn’t a great one for me as the week had been a tough one filled with all the challenges that just come from life sometimes. This story uplifted me so much, I’ve been sharing it with others ever since 
Denise told us about her son who had been facing some adversity with anxiety and fear, and in an effort to seek the Lord in the matter, she took him to a Christian bookstore and found a ring that he could wear as a reminder of God’s hand in his life. The inscription in the top of the ring read “Joshua 1:9.”
He wore the ring on a daily basis until one day while playing basketball with some friends, took it off and laid it on the trunk of her car. Completely forgetting about it, Denise left the next day and drove all over town to work and other errands. When she got home, her son was dismayed to remember he had left the ring on the car, and they frantically went outside to see if maybe it had fallen off in the driveway.
When they got to the car, miraculously the ring was still sitting on the trunk where he had left it. When she went to pick it up, she had to use effort to pick it up as it just seemed stuck to the top. There were no signs of anything sticky holding it there, just a clean surface. Immediately she went to her Bible to look up Joshua 1:9. The verse read, “Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
I know Denise wouldn’t mind me sharing this story with you, and I’m just amazed at the ways God continues to show His children He is there. I thank Him so much for bringing the Word into my life, and allowing me to share it with others. I thank Him for introducing me to Denise and David where I was able to share a very beautiful day in the rest of their lives together
