Summary

We live in a world full of change with unexpected suffering and situations beyond our control, and it's easy during that time to get caught up in our circumstances and miss God in the details.

Kim Johnson, on our new Pinehurst, North Carolina community team, reminds us in those moments where life has taken a turn it's important to remember God is good, faithful, and loving. As Kim shares her story, you are going to be inspired to begin looking for God in the everyday and practicing the discipline of gratitude. And, if you're not someone who journals, Kim just may motivate you to start!

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

- Don't get so caught up in the outcome of your prayer request that you miss God in the details.

- Look past your circumstances and cling to the character of God.

- Seek and you will find- Seek for God's faithfulness!

0:00.0	So God's just so faithful. Our circumstances don't define his character. His character is love to be loving and to be faithful and to be present. And our circumstances, if we allow them to define for us what our character is, and if we allow God
0:23.0	to use that, kind of refines us and sands off the rough edges.
0:30.2	Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast, where everyday women are sharing stories of hope found in
0:35.3	Jesus. I'm Katie Dunn. I'm Robin Cowan. And I'm
0:38.2	Lindy Walker, and we are your podcast host. As well as part of the Storytellers Live
0:43.2	ministry where simple life stories are helping women all over the country not only increase

1:27.3	about looking for him outside of what we're praying for.
1:30.5	And I think that Kim's story is completely about that.
1:33.1	It is a story of wholeheartedly trusting God in the midst of, honestly, terrible tragedy.
1:38.6	But it's also a story to me of God showing up through his people and his faithfulness.
1:43.5	And it really challenged me,
1:45.2	as Kim says in her story, to look past my circumstances and really just cling to the character
1:50.4	of God, which I feel like has been a theme for 2025 for us. And before Kim's story, we do want to
1:56.2	give you a big reminder to stop right now what you are doing, click the link in our show notes, and fill
2:03.6	out the listener survey. You guys have done such a great job completing the survey. We've heard from a
