Lisa Cannon’s Thin Place: What the Body Does

7 Comments 28 July 2011

Experiencing the purpose of the church is a key part of  a Christian’s life, as Lisa found out.  This is the last for this series of Thin Place posts.  Thanks to all who have contributed, read and responded. **** Walking into my office, in my seventh year with my employer, and though heavily stressed, I [...]

Brandee Shafer’s Thin Place: Prayers

3 Comments 21 July 2011

Rachel blogged this story on Feb. 12 after reading a Mark Batterson reference to “thin places.”  She didn’t know about Mary’s thin places until later, when she followed Michelle from Graceful to Mary’s site. **** The last week and I’ve stood in a thin place, and–even as I’ve drawn close to God–I’ve struggled in processing [...]

Erin McEndree’s Thin Place: Birth Mother

16 Comments 14 July 2011

Erin’s story shows us how sometimes our earthly relationships give us a glimpse of our relationship with God. **** My thin place is a lady named Jeanette. She carried me for 9 months, but never held me. I never laid eyes on her, but always knew about her. For 36 years we, separately, thought about [...]

Shawn McVay’s Thin Place: Praying for Mom

5 Comments 07 July 2011

Shawn succinctly shares her thin place in a powerful way. How amazing to serve the God who is near. ***** In 1997 my mom underwent colon cancer surgery. Due to having advanced lung disease the doctors were concerned about her going under anesthesia. Their concerns were valid. She came out of the surgery, remained on [...]

The power of a teacher

2 Comments 04 July 2011

This post comes from Kim Teamer. She recently wrote a post on her blog about the impact of Thin Places. Later she emailed me and shared her own story. I loved it so much, I felt it merited posting on Independence Day… California, Cornfields, and a Classroom It’s weird how the mind goes back to [...]

Ellen Staley’s Thin Place: With Me Always

7 Comments 30 June 2011

Ellen’s Thin Place reminds us that God can minister to us in unusual ways. **** Loneliness consumes hope, strips away faith and empties my soul. Loneliness says God is not here or I would feel Him, hear His voice when I cry out. But loneliness lies. For the past 10 months, I have held onto [...]

Melody DuBois’ Thin Place: Jesus in My Story

11 Comments 23 June 2011

How many times has God used your children to illuminate truth for you? It’s often surprising and comes when we need it most, as in Melody’s story. **** “God! I really need a word from you!” The wrenching groan from my spirit surprised even me. Just four months earlier, we’d returned overseas after a year’s [...]

Michelle DeRusha’s Thin Place: Precious Paintings

24 Comments 16 June 2011

An artist’s trash becomes grandchildren’s treasure in Michelle’s story. She blogs at Graceful – Faith in the Everyday and is on Twitter, @MichelleDeRusha. **** I find them in an upstairs closet in her studio – a pile of paintings, watercolors splashed onto thick slabs, paper curling at the edge. There must be thirty or more, all “rejects” [...]
