The most important place is God just began to meet me himself.

And he showed me how much he cared for me during that time.

And this sounds so cheesy, but I can't think of another way to say it, but I started to see that I had a friend in Jesus. I really did. And that I belonged with him.

There was a place for me at that table.

Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast, where everyday women share stories of hope found in Jesus.

I'm Robin, and I'm here with Katie and Lindy and we are your podcast host.

Today we are bringing you a story from Allie Grace Island who actually lives in Troy, Alabama,

but is sharing in the Auburn Opelika group because Anzley Hillier, who was their team leader,

heard her story seven years ago and is friends with her and has remembered it all this time

and decided that it was time for her to share in their live gathering. I'm so glad that Anzley

asked Allie Grace to share because this is a story that everyone can relate to. It's about loneliness.

It's about belonging, especially when you're moving to a new city. But one of the things,

you know, that I just thought was so sweet is Allie Grace gets so emotional throughout her story. And I think she does that because she

looks back on her story and sees where God met her in those moments. And it's just precious

how she shares those emotions in the room as well. Before Allie Grace's story, Patreon Insiders,

we want to remind you, we've got a special

surprise for you this week. Amy Grody is talking with Jessica Roberts, who if you have done

the Stories of Hope Bible study, you will remember that she is the first chapter of the

stories of Hope Bible study. And so Amy just visits with Jessica and talks about what she's been doing

and how God's been working in her life lately.

Here's Allie Grace.
