These devotionals weren’t originally written for a book. Many were notes to our prayer supporters, friends, and family—small windows into what the Lord was teaching us in the middle of life and ministry. But as the years passed, I realized these little stories all carried the same heartbeat: God meets us where we are, in the simple and sometimes chaotic places where faith is lived out. That’s how this book was born—a gathering of devotionals, memories, lessons, and a few good stories from the road God allowed us to walk. Some devotionals carry the dust of Brazil on them. Some carry the weight of Scripture. Some carry laughter. Some carry tears. All of them carry grace. My prayer is that as you read, you’ll find encouragement for your own journey. May these reflections remind you that God is faithful in the big moments and the small ones, in the quiet places and the noisy ones, in the planned paths and the surprising detours. If one story draws you closer to Christ, or one Scripture lifts your spirit, then this little book has done its job. Thank you for letting me share a bit of life, faith, and a few good stories with you. In Christ, Michael Jewell
