Sometimes, the big huge game-changing miracle comes in a tiny little gift of love. Our Editor Dan shares his story.
It’s amazing all the little ways God shows how He loves us and how He is there with us. A few weeks ago, the WitnessLA team had its first ever “Dinner Social” for all the different Editors, Voices, team members, volunteers and contributors to meet each other in person for the first time. Rachel and I had decided to host the event at our house in Silver Lake, but really didn’t know what to expect and how it would turn out. We had been praying for God to show up in a big and dramatic way, but the biggest way He ended up showing up was in the smallest of little details.

There is no one more romantic than God. A few months ago, our Editor Dan wanted to propose to his girlfriend Rachel (the founder of WitnessHK). He didn’t know how he would do it, but he prayed that the Creator of all romance would give him ideas. God did even better - He made it perfect.
In March, Rachel visited Dan in LA for the second time. God had just blessed Dan with a new job, so he had a week off before the new job was going to start.
As far as Rachel knew, the plan was just to drive up to San Francisco from LA to meet Dan’s family.

I was meaning to spend time in prayer and in the Word to find the perfect lesson plan. But as often happens, I got caught up in all the worldly details of our event. I cleaned the house, bought chairs for everyone to sit, coordinated food for the night, emailed people to attend, but by the time 6:30 rolled around, I was panicked. It was only an hour before we were scheduled to start - and I had no message prepared whatsoever. So I went upstairs and started to pray…[click “Read More” below to continue]

I recently moved from Marina Del Rey to Silver Lake, and I really love it out here. I love it so much that I’ve even been bragging to friends recently that there isn’t really much I miss about the West Side. There’s less traffic out here, the neighbors here actually want to meet you and say hello, and everything is so much cheaper. The reservoir is beautiful to walk around, and there’s so many neighborhoods nearby to explore. But if there’s one thing I miss about the West Side, more than the beach, more than the weather, more than anything, it’s Bay Cities Italian Deli.
Now before you laugh, anyone who’s eaten there knows that a sandwich from Bay Cities isn’t just a sandwich, it isn’t just an institution, it’s a dream fulfilled. Which is why when I found myself all the way out in Santa Monica on Saturday afternoon, I just had to - no needed to - get a sandwich from Bay Cities.
