One Mile of Gas and a Whole Lot of God
Y’all, this one is a testimony start to finish. My friend Hannah McDonald and I sat down 48 hours into a weekend that was absolutely marinated in God-moments, and we’re unboxing every single one of them — starting with the time we rolled into a random gas station on ONE MILE of gas left in the tank. One mile, y’all. But that gas station just happened to have a prayer shack with walls covered in a hundred handwritten prayers, and the number ONE showing up everywhere we turned all night long. Coincidence? We don’t think so. We talk about what Hannah calls “reading God’s language” — learning to recognize His voice and His leading even when the plan falls apart, even when a 75-minute drive turns into three hours. We dig into the difference between expectation and anticipation, why rest isn’t something you have to earn, and why our worth was never tied to how much we accomplished in a day. Psalm 32:8 says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye” (NKJV). “Instruct” here— it means to be prudent, to give insight, to cause someone to act wisely. And “guide” comes from the root meaning “counsel with My eye” — an intimate, watchful leading, not a distant command. That’s exactly what this whole weekend felt like: God not shouting directions from far off, but walking close enough to wink at us the whole way. We close it out with a prayer of faith over you, the listener, because that’s still my favorite gift to give. Come get unboxed with us. Also make sure to give Hannah some follows.
