Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie May Wilson and I am so happy that you're

here. A week I have a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions

we have about our lives as women. We're talking about friendships and faith and relationships

and self-confidence. A better calling in life and how to live every bit of our lives to

the absolute full. Life is so much better and easier and absolutely more fun knowing

we navigated together as girlfriends and I cannot wait to get started. Our guest

for today's episode is my new friend, Cheryl Scruggs. Cheryl is a podcaster and author,

a biblical counselor and a speaker. I was recently a guest on Cheryl's podcast and I loved

her heart and her story so much I just knew we needed to have her on Girls Night. Today

we're going to be talking about how to find God in the wilderness. It can be super discouraging

when life is not going the way that we planned or when something really painful happens. We

feel broken, we feel alone and hardest of all, God can feel so far away. In this episode,

Cheryl touches on three distinct seasons of her life when things did not go the way that

she had planned and she talks about how God showed up in the midst of those really hard

times. Friend, if you're listening to this episode and you're in a hard season right

now, I want you to know that you are not alone. And the hope is that as we hear Cheryl's

story and discover where God was in the midst of some of her hardest moments, we can start

to see him more clearly in the midst of our difficult circumstances too. But before we

dive in, if you have been trying to figure out how to follow God's plans for your life

or what those plans even are, I have a resource that can help. It's my book, it's the lipstick

gospel devotional and it's a 90 day step by step guide that will help you consistently

connect with God, hearing from him, trusting his plans and feeling his presence in your everyday
