Summary
Shoowee! Friends! This is not an episode I ever expected to record.
In this show, I tell the story of a health scare I experienced the week before You Bet Your Stretch Marks came out—during our first week back to homeschooling and while my husband was out of town.
Throughout the ordeal as it developed, it was so evident the Lord’s care and provision was going before me every step of the way.
I hope you’ll be encouraged that the Lord cares about the details of your life and truly does work all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
