I never knew I was a writer. Until a newspaper editor put “Michelle Gunnin is a writer.” in my byline for an article I wrote, I had no idea. I put ideas on paper, but in my mind, that didn’t make me a real writer (whatever a real writer looks like). It was just thoughts. … Continue reading I am a Speaker

Celebration of Life
There are some friendships that stand the test of time. The kind that pick up right where they left off and never get stale. I believe it is when the spirit of God in you recognizes the spirit of God in them. You are made from the same material, and you belong to each other. … Continue reading Celebration of Life
Dis-appointment
We call something that happens at an appointed time an appointment. We put it on our calendar and we plan our lives around it. Sometimes our calendars get so filled up with our appointed times we have little room for things that are not appointed. Our culture is okay with this because we all live … Continue reading Dis-appointment
Shackled
I spoke at a women's retreat today. It is a group of amazing women who are changing their lives by improving their health. Several of them requested a copy of what I shared...so here you go girls! Go and walk in your FREEDOM! When I asked the Lord what word he wanted me to bring … Continue reading Shackled

This what I shared at Betty"s Memorial Service. Several people asked me for a copy so I am posting it here. Feel free to share. When it came time for us to plan this service, I thought of a European cathedral with a grand pipe organ where each of her organ friends could play one … Continue reading Betty’s Cherry Tree
NOW is the Time
I was at a retreat this weekend and during worship I heard the Lord speak to my heart. It was for the parents in the room, and several requested a copy. As I was writing it up, I thought it might also be for other World Race parents…but then I thought it might be for … Continue reading NOW is the Time
You are Beautiful
I am a writer. I write what God puts on my heart…and today ladies, that is you. Today he says, “Tell them they are beautiful.” Why is it so hard for us as women to believe him? He is not talking about when you lose weight or when you manage to break some bad habit … Continue reading You are Beautiful
Life-Wish
This is a speech I gave at The Relay for Life Survivor Dinner in Highlands NC. My story begins much the same as yours…a doctor’s office, a procedure, a test. Then a word. THE word. Cancer. As the syllables escaped the doctor’s mouth my world went silent, except for my racing heartbeat. It was like … Continue reading Life-Wish
Light Up the Night
A rewrite of a previous blog for a speech at Relay for Life in Highlands NC... When I had cancer I never dreamed that one day I would inspire others. It just never entered my mind. In fact, I am still uncomfortable with standing up and speaking, yet I feel my journey can help others … Continue reading Light Up the Night
