Journal entry by Danielle Scheele —
Good Morning with the weather in NE this morning I had some time to do some reading both with the story below and in the Bible.
With all the news of Israel it is more important than ever to pray, to bring more people to the Lord…I have no words for what is going on over there…
This story I’m sharing below hit home early this morning I shared it on Facebook, but know that platform only hits a small amount of people and know that this platform has made a difference for many we don’t even know, so the Holy Spirit has pushed me to share it here….
The amount of messages I have received over the past year of people thanking me for opening myself up to our FAITH journey with Saige is amazing! Some days I’m in awe of what people have sent me and I truly thank them right back with all of my heart, all the while knowing once again…
“That was you God!”
If what Saige and our family has gone through and continue to live every day saved one life, brought one person to believe in the Lord, and/or repent because of her miracle then that was the purpose…and amazingly enough a year later I am still getting positive heartwarming messages of the impact it has made…you see sometimes we don’t see “the why” and sometimes we have to dig deep and the signs will show up…I promise you they will…and then you will know why something happens in your life, BUT YOU have to be the one to see the reason and be able to admit “YES, it’s not what I wanted, but I believe in my heart your way is the way.”
God has a way of protecting us from things or situations or even people we didn’t even know we needed to be protected from in ways you may never know!
GOD doesn’t make mistakes!
It’s up to us to take what the Holy Spirit is calling us to do and run with it! And I can’t wait to see what the next journey is!
We never know when we take the Gospel of christ with out with us and hand it to a person, what that person is going through. But God knows. God works through us he directs our paths, he places people on our paths to help them. We are to bless others of the gift of salvation that's given unto us, Jesus said we receive freely we should give freely.
Remember, God's message can make a big difference in someone's life. Never be afraid to spread the love of God.
GOD doesn’t make mistakes!
This is a post I read daily to myself because it is sooooo true for all of us:
❤️The other day I was hanging out with a friend. This friend is a Christian, but she doesn’t always act, speak or think like one. Some days, she is completely in-line with God’s Word, and some days, her life is a struggle that gets the best of her.
As our eyes met, I really wanted to say something about it, but, I decided to let the Lord speak to her heart, knowing nothing that I say will have the same impact as the Father’s words.
So…. I prayed with her, and after some time had passed, I winked at her, and walked away from the mirror.
I try everyday, and I fail everyday. I am so not perfect, I am a work in progress, and I'm thankful for God’s grace, mercy, faithfulness and His promises to His believers.
AND Now “the story” the reason I am writing this post….✝️
The little boy put on his clothes for the cold and then told his father:
"Ok dad, I'm ready"
His Dad, the pastor, said: "Ready for what?"
"Dad, it's time to go outside and distribute our flyers."
Dad replied: "Son, it's very cold outside and it's drizzling."
The child looked surprised at his father and said: "But dad, people need to know about God even on rainy days."
Dad replied, "Son, I'm not going outside in this weather."
With despair, the child said: "Dad, can I go alone? Please!"
His father waited for a moment and then said: "Son, you can go. Here are the flyers, be careful."
"Thank you, dad!"
And with this, the son went out into the rain. The 11-Year-old walked all the streets of the village, handing out the flyers to the people he saw.
After 2 hours of walking in the rain and cold and with his last flyer in his hand, he stopped at a corner to see if he saw someone to give the flyer to, but the streets were totally deserted. Then he turned to the first house he saw, walked to the front door, rang the bell several times, and waited, but no one came out.
Finally, the boy turned to leave... but something stopped him. The child turned back to the door and began to ring the bell and pound on the door strongly with his knuckles. He kept waiting. Finally, the door was opened gently.
A lady came out with a very sad look and gently asked:
"What can I do for you, son?" With radiant eyes and a bright smile, the child said: "Lady, I'm sorry if I upset you, but I just want to tell you that God really loves you and that I came to give you my last flyer, which talks about God and His great love."
The boy then gave her the flyer.
She just said, "Thank you, son, God bless you!"
Well, the next Sunday morning, the pastor was in the pulpit and when the service began he asked:
"Does someone have a testimony or something they want to share?"
Gently, in the back row of the church, an older lady stood up. When she started talking, a radiant and glorious look sprouted from her eyes:
"Nobody in this church knows me. I have never been here, even last Sunday I was not Christian.
My husband died a while ago leaving me totally alone in this world. Last Sunday was a particularly cold and rainy day, and it was so cold and lonely in my heart that I felt I had come to the end of the road and didn't want to live anymore.
I took a chair and a rope and went up to the attic of my house. I tied a noose and the other end of the rope to the rafters of the roof; then I climbed onto the chair and put the rope around my neck.
I then stood on the chair, so alone and heartbroken, I was about to throw myself off the chair when suddenly I heard the loud sound of the door being knocked on.
So I thought: "I'll wait for a minute and whoever it is will go away."
I waited and waited, but the door knocking was getting louder and louder every time. It got so loud that I couldn't ignore it anymore.
So I wondered, who could it be?
No one ever comes to my door or comes to visit me! I released the rope from my neck and went to the door, while the bell was still ringing and the door was still being knocked on.
When I opened the door, I couldn't believe what my eyes saw, in front of my door was the most radiant and angelic child I'd ever seen. His smile, Oh, I can never describe it! The words that came out of his mouth made my heart, which had been dead so long, come back to life, when he said with the VOICE OF A CHERUBIM: "Lady, I just want to tell you that God really loves you."
"When the little angel disappeared between the cold and the rain, I closed my door and read every word of the flyer. Then I went to the attic to remove the chair and rope.
I didn't need them anymore. As you see. Now I am a happy daughter of the King. Since the direction of the boy, when he left, was to this church, I came personally to say thank you to that little angel of God who came just in time to rescue my life from an eternity in hell. And replaced it with eternity in God's presence."
Everyone cried in the church.
The Pastor came down from the pulpit to the first bench, where the little boy was sitting; he took his son in his arms and cried uncontrollably.
Amen 💕 🙏
We never know when we take the Gospel of christ with out with us and hand it to a person, what that person is going through. But God knows.

Don't hide God if you have accepted him as your saviour, you have been saved. You never know who needs to hear the Gospel on your journey with Jesus 🙂😇🥰❤🙏
Don't let this message die because of tiredness or bad weather; after reading it, pass it on to others.
Remember, God's message can make a big difference in someone's life. Never be afraid to spread the love of God.
In His Name,
