And he said, I need you to focus on who and what's in front of you now.

Like don't focus on what you do not have and hold on to that grief because you'll never

focus on the loved ones that are right here in front of you or the things that I have you to do. I will have you to do now. I'm not done with you. You're here for a reason.

Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast where everyday women share stories of hope found in

Jesus. I'm Robin and I'm here with Lindy and Katie and we are your podcast host. And y'all,

last week was our stories of Hope Luncheon.

Yes, Robin, we have to kick off this episode with just a huge thank you to everyone who came

and supported us and showed up. We loved meeting you and talking with you and celebrating all that

God has done through storytellers. And of course, we want to thank our two

major Share the Hope sponsors, Sarah Beth Hagler Jewelry and Jen Laothan interiors. And Robin,

you know Sarah Beth better than any of us. We have been friends for a very long time, and I have

shopped with her multiple times. Y'all, you may not know this. She sells antique jewelry and new jewelry, but she will also take old pieces that you have and freshen them up. So I had this necklace that I had inherited when my grandmother passed away. And it was just kind of dated. I liked it, but I wasn't really wearing it. And she's like, well, let me do something with it. And so she did. She took my necklace and they just moved some things around. They, I don't even know what she does. She's very creative. But all of a sudden, I love the necklace. I love that. And I wear it all the time. She's incredible. So check her out at SBH jewelry on Instagram. And we have linked that here in our show notes. And also, Jen Louthin

interiors. Jen is a friend of ours, and she has been such a gracious supporter of storytellers.

She has been in the interior design business for over 25 years. And she just has such knowledge

and expertise, and she can do anything from an hourly consultation to a full

custom build renovation. And I know you've worked with her, Katie. Oh, yes. I mean, she makes it

so easy to work with her. She came in, and as I said, a couple of weeks ago, you know, there was

just some tweaking that I wanted done. But, you know, one thing is, it's like, I know what I like, but I don't know how to find it. And what she did was just save me so much time in researching, okay, this is, you need a piece that's this long and this wide. And then she sent me pictures of different things I could choose from of what I wanted, what I didn't want. It was such a gift to me in a season of busyness, but yet wanting to update some things.

Yes.

So she was just. of what I wanted, what I didn't want. It was such a gift to me in a season of busyness,

but yet wanting to update some things. Yes. So she was just, I mean, such a pleasure,

of course, to work with as well. So check her out at jennlalthon.com. That's j-en-n-n-l-u-t-h-an.com.
