Summary

**DISCLAIMER: Please listen with caution and away from little ears as this story references abortion

Being in the midst of suffering, heartbreak, and tragedy can be painstakingly lonely and the most desperate time of your life. You can be left questioning God, confused as to why He isn't answering your prayers, and even downright angry with Him.

Today's storyteller, Beth Mull, from our Raleigh, North Carolina community, experienced all of these emotions as she walked through the unraveling of her marriage and the terminal diagnosis of her baby daughter. But, as Beth recalls through her story, it was in those feelings of helplessness that she can clearly see the Father's persistent pursuit of her heart through His unconditional love and redemptive power as He led her to His unique purpose for her life. This story's ending just may surprise you!

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

- God's Word is powerful, strengthening you for what lies ahead.

- Never let your past disqualify you for what God may be calling you to.

- God has something big for your life, so bravely follow Him!
