Summary
Does the Lord's timeline ever seem to stretch on and on? Gail Alverson of our Memphis community, reminds us not to give up.
With decades of dedication in the face of fear, Gail endured a tumultuous marriage to an angry and unbelieving spouse. Her story will teach you that even when the Lord does not immediately shift our circumstances, he still works to change us and those around us.
In this episode, you will learn:
-
The Lord's timing can be trusted, even when his work spans many years.
-
Eventual freedom is found when we surrender to Jesus in faith.
-
Persistent prayer opens Spiritual doors for us and for those we love

| 0:05.8 | When we're honest and we're real before him, he comes and he meets us with that, and he heard my cry. |
| 0:15.0 | Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast, where everyday women share stories of hope found in Jesus. |
| 0:22.3 | I'm Robin, and I am here with Lindy and Katie, and we are your podcast host. Today, we are bringing you another relationship |
| 0:28.1 | story for the month of February, and this is Gail Alverson from Memphis. Yes, you know, Robin, |
| 0:33.3 | coming off of our first Monday freebie with Jeremy Meredith's story. This month is really all about |
| 0:38.8 | stories of relationship and love. And, you know, Jeremy's story was one really about redemption and |
| 0:43.8 | finding the love of Christ and how important it is to focus in on Christ's love above all else. |
| 0:49.6 | Today's story is really one about offering selfless love, really to someone who was far away from God |
| 0:55.9 | and the truth that, you know, your prayers are not in vain. So, you know, one thing about all of our |
| 1:01.5 | stories this month is that, as I said, there are stories about relationships, but they're really |
| 1:06.9 | stories about God showing up in those relationships, whether that's going through a difficult |
| 1:12.0 | season like Jeremy did and having to walk through divorce or sticking through a difficult season |

| 1:22.7 | to encourage you in your relationships. So I'm excited for you to hear Gail's story, and I'm really excited for us to |
| 1:28.4 | talk about it at the end. Yes, and our Patreon family is going to hear where are they now with |
| 1:33.6 | Katie Baysden. And if you remember, Katie is from our Auburn community, and her episode is number |
| 1:38.8 | 131, and she told a story about taking back her family. So if you have not listened to Katie Basin's story, we do have a link in our show notes. |
| 1:48.0 | Also on Patreon, check out the Where Are They Now? |
