12 Hours to Save Thumper was one of our real tear-jerkers! I even got a couple of phone calls, besides the emails and comments, checking on Thumper. True stories are always a winner, even the sad ones…

I believe I have received more mail on this post than any other so far! If God Forgives Me, Why Can’t I Forgive Myself? How far is the east from the west? How far does the Lord cast our sins when we are forgiven? It is not so hard to believe sometimes that God can forgive us, but it is very difficult for us to forgive ourselves. I have discovered that is one of the things the enemy tortures people with the most! And it is one of the all-time-high Google searches! This article deals with letting go of past wrongs, if God has forgiven you, it is forgotten!

My Three Sons seem to take over here at Hope in the Healing! “Hey, Guy! Somebody Call the Cops!” was definitely one of the busiest days on the blog! In this case there were only two at the time, number three had not yet arrived. No problem, number two could carry out this caper all by himself! Check it out if you haven’t read it yet…it’s a whole lot of fun!

Are You A Wounded Healer? This was another very popular post that generated alot of email! People that have gone through much suffering in their own life and yet God has turned it around and they can now use that experience to minister to others…they are Wounded Healers. They know just what to say and when to say it, or say nothing at all. They show up at the right time and know how to pray. Their touch and their presence brings peace and comfort.

Don’t Pass By Nikolai is actually one of MY favorites! This happened while we were living in the country of Estonia, in the Baltics. Such a gentle and kindly Russian man, you will enjoy reading the compassionate story of our friend Nikolai. It is a wonderful reminder of the importance of something as simple as a smile.

He Heals Me, He Heals Me Not. I was not expecting the outpouring of response from this post! Certainly many people could relate to wondering why God heals some and not others or even heals them at certain times in their lives but not others. But even more importantly was our response to it and God’s plan. This article was also my first feature for Internet Cafe Devotions.

I sure shattered my sweet and innocent image when this story broke! Then I’ll Huff, And I’ll Puff, And I’ll… Come on, what would you do??

This super popular post by my dear friend Randa Chance, just keeps popping up in the archives! When the Music Stops, is one of the most encouraging articles you will ever read anywhere! If you are going through ANYTHING, Randa will help you pull up your bootstraps and get back out there and keep going. She has been through enough to know and God keeps picking her up over and over again. She is an overcomer! BTW, her book, Of Cabbages and Kings, is absolutely a hoot! A great read, you will laugh, you will cry, it will move you…and it’s for sale on the right side of my homepage!!

Randa Chance is a writer, speaker and pastor's wife at the Sanctuary of San Antonio.

And we can’t leave out the post that generated me the most views EVER in a single day!! You might know it would come from the cutest couple EVER as well. Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend and A Groom’s Worst Nightmare was a winner for me but a nightmare for my eldest, Kyle. Read the story to see if it has a Happily EVER After…

Finally, the one that started it all! Faith Journey! I would have to say this is one of my favorites because it tells how the Lord helped me overcome my fears in the country of Latvia in the former Soviet Union. He was so faithful, to one who had never left United States soil and who was afraid of EVERYTHING, especially closed-in spaces! Oh, the fears He helped me face and defeat! I love this story that is funny, scary and full of surprises. I hope you will take the time to read it.
