My parents have given me so much more than i need, and have provided for me in ways i forget about everyday. Like buying the detergent so i can have clean clothes, ketchup & mayo for my sandwhichs, clothes when i need new ones, camera memory cards, a lap top, milk for my cereal...the list is endless. I know i need to show them the same generosity they have shown me, cause compared to most people in America, i've got it good. God truly gave me some amazing parents that love me more than i can tell. Thanks mom & dad, i love you! PTL for you! -Audrey

Tonight, the Sidekick I'm borrowing long-term decided to erase all my contacts, including those on the SIM card. The numbers stored on the SIM has never been erased until tonight. How mysterious. In any matter, PTL. -Jacquie

On Sunday, my parents and I were going out of town. On our way, my dad realized he forgot his sunglasses, so we had to go back for them. My parents said that on the freeway there was so much traffic because there had been an accident just minutes ahead of us. If we had left at the planned time, who knows where they would have been at that time. PTL.

Same time. We were going to leave pretty early, I thought I wasn't going to be able to go to church. Since my dad forgot his sunglasses, I had a minute to talk to my bro (who was going with us but driving separately). He said they were going to church first before they leave, so I decided to hop out of the car and ride with them instead. Worship and the message were Amazing. PTL!

My brother is usually very protective of his stuff - especially if it's his car. Today he let me drive his car home after hanging out with me - even though it's stick and I'm noob at it. PTL for giving me a brother that is kind enough to set aside his love of a material to provide me with a learning experience! PTL PTL! - Marlo
God is my Father. PTL. -Alex

Recently a lot of things (bad things, which i won't mention here) have happened to a dear friend of mine. She was born in a Christian family but even though her knowledge in the Bible is quite strong, her faith has been very shaky. I felt the Lord's leading for me to talk to her and know her better through these issues she's been facing and I can see the Lord working in her life. Just this morning she responded to an alter call for the church leader to pray for her and I think it's very brave for her to do so. I've been praying for her a lot and I can see God's hand in all of this. PTL. - Jet
Recently inherited my brother's old car - nice and fancy... but almost got in a car accident yesterday... DOUBLE PTL for new car and the "almost" part of my previous statement! - Marlo

Attempting to find parking at the beach today was a patience-trying time as we wove in and out of the swarm of cars doing the same thing. When we finally nabbed a parking space 2 hours later, not only was it was right across from the pier, but we also didn't have to feed the meter since it was after 6pm. God is so good to allow us not to find parking 'til after 6pm so we didn't have to pay! He really provides. PTL. -Helen
Just finished listening to Crazy Love by Francis Chan that is free on Christianaudio.com. It really encouraged me to have a renewed passion for Jesus Christ. If anyone is struggling with complacency, I highly recommend you listening to it. PTL. -Alex
My non-believer friends are starting to say PTL. PTL. -Heidi
Today, as I was looking back on the crazy emotional things happening to me lately, I realized that God was there every step of the way. And although things didn't happen the way I wanted them to, the way God had his hand on the whole situation, was incredible. It always is, and it always leaves me in awe. PTL. -Heidi
We started practicing the dances today (thanks to the amazing choreographing duo, Julian and Melody) in the hot hot heat outside. It was SO hot but PTL because it's simply training us for the mission trip to the Philippines next summer. We should be thankful because we actually have it really good with the heat here compared to other countries. PTL! -RJ
Today, our week long VBS finished and the blessings God has done throughout this week our countless. God is good. PTL! - Stephanie

Today a good friend of mine told me she's been attending Crossroads regularly and decided to be baptized last night. She's decided to dedicate her life to Christ and I have another Accountability partner outside of church. God truly provides. PTL. -Aarika

Today is our second day being home with both our little girls. It's so amazing to see how our little one interacts with baby girl. God is super good with blessing us with two beautiful little girls and allowing us to raise both of them. Also in the hospital so many people from church came to visit us even though the hospital was so far. Oh how we were so encouraged by their love towards us. PTL. - Geneyem
