I checked into a womens’ shelter in Spokane, WA around 4 o’clock in the morning in March 2015. I arrived by Spokane Police Department car after being treated at an ER for multiple facial lacerations and spinal trauma. I was assaulted at a campground by someone very close to me who was in a black-out rage. After being assigned a bunk and change of sheets, I laid on the bed to pray about what to do. Since my clothes were covered in blood I did not want to venture into the public without a plan. The shelter had a library near the food table with some comfortable chairs for quiet time. I sat in a rocking chair to think and look at the books around me. On a shelf within reach was a Bible and a copy of Our Daily Bread. These are two items that I had with me at the campgrounds but as I was vision impaired after the assault, the Park Ranger and I could not find them in the dark. It was comforting to me to see this devotional since I have done it almost everyday for years. When I think back to the placement of the Bible and Our Daily Bread on that shelve at that time I truly Believe that the Lord Jesus Christ orchestrated many people over many days, weeks, and months for ME to find it there. He knew that my spirit would be broken and exactly what I would need for comfort. I thank this Ministry for all that each of You do to have those perfectly placed devotionals strategically placed for us all. I cannot tell you how many people I have passed the devotional on to because it is too many to count. Each time I give one away I pray for the receiver to even be blessed a portion of the amount I have over the years.
