Summary

Happy Thanksgiving week!

In honor of Adoption Awareness month, StoryTellers Live is excited to bring you two unique stories over the next two weeks.

Today on the podcast is Cathy Crossno, from Katy, Texas, who shares her story of finding herself pregnant, choosing to have the baby, and ultimately giving the baby up for adoption.

Her story is full of sweet, surprise relationships that will show you how, in Cathy's words, "God can turn messy into beautiful."

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

* God can use some of your hardest moments to draw you into a deeper relationship with Him.

* There is no sin left unforgiven through Jesus Christ - let go of shame and guilt.

* God is in the business of surprising you with His merciful love.

ON PATREON THIS FRIDAY!

We have a new series called "Where Are They

Now," we are excited to be featuring Brandy Miller, from Episode 60, this month.

0:10.6	messy and make it beautiful. And that while our story is unique and it looks different from all
0:17.3	of our perspectives, and it can be very messy. It is, it is beautiful.
0:23.4	Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast, where everyday women share stories of hope found in
0:28.5	Jesus. I'm Robin and I am here with Katie and Lindy and we are your podcast host. We have so many
0:33.9	new listeners. And so if you're new around here, we just want to take a minute and tell you a little bit about storytellers, because you may have found us as a podcast, and that's all you know. But we are gatherings of women around the country who sit and listen to stories. We are in 12 different communities from Montana to the East Coast. And it is women sharing everyday stories and homes.

1:28.4	we had a team meeting and there were not enough chairs at the table.
1:31.5	Awesome. And that's so exciting. God has grown this tremendously. And we are so, so thankful.
1:37.3	We are so thankful for storytellers. And if you believe in the mission of storytellers,

1:51.0	And we would just ask you our listeners to take a minute.
