More Than We Can Imagine

Twelve years ago, when I published my first book I decided to create a L.L.C. and to start a blog. In order to start a business, you need a name. I wanted a name that reflected God’s work in my life. It didn’t need to be showy. It was really between me and the Lord. After a lot of prayer and contemplation I decided to name my corporation Dunamis 320 after Ephesians 3:20.

Ephesians 3:20-21 says, “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

Dunamis is the Greek word meaning power — it is the same word where we get the English word “dynamite.” This is the word Paul used when he described God’s power at work within us in Ephesians 3:20.

After losing my first husband, I thought my life was over. I truly believed I would never feel joy again, but God had other plans. Let me pause there. “But God…”

God not only restored my joy he multiplied it. He used Michael’s death to change the course of my life. Since then, God has given me opportunities I could never have imagined. I write this with a grateful heart.

People often ask me what are your five and ten year plans? I know what they mean, but my response is the same — I want to be obedient to Christ. When we walk in obedience he takes us places we could never imagine. Walking with Christ is so much richer than doing things my way. As I reflect over the past twelve years, Dunamis 320 continues to reflect what God has done through this ministry. I pray it will continue for years to come.

I would love to hear from you. What are some ways God has worked in you or through you to do more than you could have ever imagined? I’d love to hear your stories of God’s power (dunamis).
