Summary

Melanie Gates, from Jackson, Mississippi, shares the path God called her and her husband to take in fostering a baby boy, adopting him, and ultimately sharing God's supernatural love for his biological mother. Her story will leave you speechless as you see God in the tiniest of details and recognize He wants you to see Him in the details of your life as well.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

- When you give God your yes, you never know what will happen.

- God has the ability to give you a supernatural, pure love for others.

- You can't grow in obedience without stepping out of your comfort zone.
