On September 27th, I experienced a supernatural message that detailed very clear and kind instructions, perhaps, specifically for you to hear. It was a very comforting call: to gather people who have experienced their own unexplainable, miraculous, and life-changing events with the ultimate goal of encouraging each other – and to give all gratitude and glory to God, who is at work in our lives even when we are lost, feeling invisible, and desperate. Only if one person is feels encouraged and seen today, all the work to create this was 100% worth it!
Podcast Transcript
Welcome to the Discerning Miracles podcast!
There are many detailed descriptions of miracles, dreams, visions, and even angels in the Bible… but have you thought about how we’re experiencing them in our lives today? While most of us aren’t likely speaking to a burning bush, we might have been caught by surprise by a supernatural occurrence that made a lasting impact on our lives. We’ll hear incredible testimonies that will encourage and add kindling to our faith. Let’s have a conversation about the importance of discernment because where there is truth, light, and life – there is an opposing side that is very deceptive. The approach of this podcast is one of humbleness and teachability. I am not a theologian, pastor, or Bible expert. I’m a wife and mother, who has had a lifetime of unexplainable experiences. In my youth, I looked for answers everywhere… except the Bible. By God’s grace, He lit up the path and led me back to Him. I still have questions and I bet you do as well. Let’s grow in God’s word together.

In this first episode, I’m going to share about a miraculous message that I received on September 27th that lovingly nudged me out of my comfort zone and into the creation of this podcast that you are listening to right now.
By being here, you are a part of this miracle too. Are you ready?

As a lifetime member of the Private Wallflower Club for empathetic introverts – I never could have guessed what would happen on September 27th, 2023.
I was waking up from a nice sleep. I wasn’t dreaming and was aware of the sunlight in the room when a very clear message described what I was going to do along with a picture in my mind to illustrate it. It was a confident and kind command; not a question open to debate or rebuttal. It was as simple and straightforward as someone telling you to buy milk at the store.
The picture was a big white piece of paper with large handwritten capital bold red letters. It said “100 Miracles.” The instruction was to gather up people’s stories of miracles, testimonies, and experiences. The beautiful, the transformational. The unexplainable. Simply to remind people and point to the source of these… God.
I was completely awake after that, I got up and there was zero question or argument from me. That’s what I simply must do.
Now – that’s not my go-to mindset. I’m an analyzer, I like to look at every single angle for holes and flaws… any reason to adapt an idea or toss it. This time, all I felt was peace and confidence. If this is what God wants me to do, I need to obey. He’ll pave the way and give me the skills and connections. I felt positive, excited, completely ready to start – all before even brushing my teeth.
I went downstairs and shared this revelation with my husband – who like myself, is a seasoned expert at overthinking and picking at all sides of a whim until it floated away in the passing breeze.
But this time, he immediately sensed that this could be, and should be, begun.
OK then. Strange.
Within a few hours, the enemy started his fiery darts at me. The negative self talk, the rebuttals started coming into my mind. Who am I to do this? Who cares enough to listen? What if people think you’re crazy? What if people don’t want to share their miracles? You are old and wrinkly and you don’t like being on camera… and when you talk you think too long and aren’t verbally quick on your feet – you can’t even memorize bible verses well. You’re not a bible expert, you don’t have any kind of training. You could say something wrong! What if you share too much?
Stay where you are comfortable in expressing yourself in writing, illustration, and design. Don’t draw attention to yourself – stay where you’re happy – in the background. Invisible.
By the end of the night, I was nauseous with stress and anxiety so much so that I thought I had come down with a little bug. I went to the women’s bible study at my church, we’re learning about spiritual warfare and the armor of God. Perfect timing. Of course, I didn’t share what was on my mind that night at all. (See what I mean… stay guarded!) But amongst the faithful women and being immersed in prayer all the ‘yuck’ went away and I came home at peace again.
The next day, I shared, in person, with a few friends that I know are solid in wisdom and understanding of the ways of God. It felt a little goofy… but by the time the cat was out of the bag, their eyes were sparkling, they were smiling, and they were noticeably excited and optimistic about the whole thing. I was the only one who thought anything worrisome about it. They felt wholeheartedly that this was of God and I simply had to be brave and take the first step. They have their own powerful and miraculous stories which they shared. Afterwards, I could see that they were encouraged and grateful to God for these special and amazing circumstances in their own life. What a gift for even one experience that pops up in our mundane existence to say, you’re not alone or forgotten, you are loved and cared for. You are seen. You are special.
I’m thankful that we are seen, each and every one of us – even when we’re not on the path in our life that is the wisest one.
You see, I’ve carried my own stories of supernatural experiences for decades, only sharing with a very trusted select few.
I have had, and still have many questions. I wasn’t always walking on God’s path and I didn’t even look to the Bible for answers or guidance back then. This was WAY before the internet. I felt very much alone.
With the emergence of YouTube, I started to discover the testimonies of other people who had searched for answers in all kinds of places to meet God patiently waiting for them with love and grace. That was my experience as well, which I will share in later episodes.
If you’re listening to this right now, you’re curious about the world beyond what you can see and touch. Maybe you have had some supernatural experiences that can’t be explained or know someone close to you that has.
