Who Plants in a Storm?

When a life-threatening illness hit her husband and finances dried up, Bobby chose to plant in faith instead of fear. Her story is a powerful reminder that even in the storm, God’s promises still stand.

Amidst a monster life storm, Bobby chose to plant a seed into the good ground of Inspiration Ministries. And her faith created a whirlwind of blessings!

When a rare disease attacked her husband’s nervous system, Bobby didn’t know what to do. “Larry couldn’t even breathe on his own; he needed a breathing machine,” Bobby recalled. His health spiraled down as his weakened immune system opened the door for other illnesses.

I cried out to God and said I was not ready to lose him yet. I simply refused to receive that news.

With neither person able to work and expenses mounting, the family’s finances rapidly deteriorated. But miraculously, Larry began to improve. Bobby’s heart overflowed with joy and thankfulness. She knew God had heard her cry—and chose to respond in faith by sowing a $100 seed into Inspiration Ministries, trusting Him for the next miracle.

“Waiting, expecting, and trusting is a way of life,” declared Bobby.

God always responds to obedient faith! And God responded to Bobby’s seed of faith. Soon, an unexpected check (ten times the seed amount!) arrived from a distant family member.

“We aren’t even in touch with this person … but God moved their heart to send us funds!” When another gift arrived as well, Bobby rejoiced by sending generous gifts to others.

From Seed to Overflow: How God Multiplies Faith in Action

Shortly after, a friend shared about her need for a car, so Bobby gave her information about a dealer who had helped her. The friend got just the car she wanted—and the dealer sent Bobby a $100 referral fee!

Another friend came to Bobby saying, “I don’t know what to do with this Alexa device. You take it.” Bobby put it to work praising God. “I tell it, ‘Alexa, play praise music.’ It’s great. I love it!”

Another day, Bobby happened to catch a television report about a new local business established to support new pastors in town. Touched by the store’s mission and attracted by their merchandise, she visited the store. While there, Bobby entered their $1,000 shopping spree contest. On the day of the prize drawing, she felt God nudging her, Get dressed up and go down there. You are going to win! In faith and obedience, she went down—and won!

With her Father’s heart of generosity, Bobby said, “I didn’t need furnishings for my house, so I asked God what to do with the shopping spree. He led me to give it awayto the pastors the store had been founded to support. They were so thankful and excited. It was wonderful to be able to give it to them.”

This has all taught me to trust God more.

“I stay awed at Him,” Bobby gleefully declared. “All I knew to do was stand on the promises of God. I begged God to give me wisdom and understanding—to help me with all the decisions I needed to make. God did that and more! He loves to give unexpected gifts to His kids.”
