Summary
Shelley Gardner, of our Vestavia community, found herself distracted by good things and dodging any downtime. But a series of forced pauses in her life, including infertility and injury, turned into peace and protection from the Lord.
Listen as Shelley reminds us that this life is not our own—and that surrender and stillness serve to deepen prayer and amplify the Lord's voice.
In this episode, you will learn:
– You can trust the Lord even when you do not understand.
– When your plans don't pan out, His plans are perfect.
– He uses your places of brokenness for your growth and for His glory.

| 0:43.4 | And then we are thrilled. |
| 0:45.4 | Y'all, we're super excited to bring you a 20-something series of our storytellers who are in their 20s. |
| 0:51.8 | This is the best series of stories, really, for everyone. |
| 0:55.5 | But we know that a lot of you that listen are in high school or in college or you have |

| 1:18.0 | Well, Robin, first of all, I'm so excited like you are about the 20-something series. And I think that |
| 1:21.9 | this is really a great story to kind of kick that off. Because while this is a story that we all |
| 1:27.3 | need to hear, I do think it is a |
