Diana was expecting her third when the baby died in her womb.

Decades later, she looks back and says of the Lord,

We can have peace in him because he does all things well.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, co-author of You Can Trust God to Write Your Story for December 26, 2019.

As we look back as a ministry on 2019, one big highlight was the release of the book

you can trust God to write your story. It was the first book by Nancy and her husband Robert

together. Now we all need reminders to trust God to write our stories because none of us

knows what's ahead in 2020. Nancy's going to help us prepare

and trust in God's providence as she speaks with today's guests. Well, I have an amazing

privilege today, and I didn't know it was going to be happening today, but a couple days

ago I found out that Tom and Diana Elif were here at our parent ministry. They're ministering to some pastors and wives.

And Tom preached to our staff in chapel. And I got to see the live stream of it from my home. And when I realized they were here in town, I said, we've got to get them in the Revive Our Heart Studio.

And talk about how they have trusted God to write their story.

A lot of beautiful pieces and parts of that.

But Tom and Diana, thank you so much for taking some time out today to come and share

some of your story, God's story, with us.

We're glad to be here, Nancy.

Thank you so much.

This is a privilege. And Tom, we go back a long, long way. Let's don't talk about how long, but yes. We just said to each other. I said to you, you don't look any different than, I think it was about 84 that we first met. I don't think either of us do. We just... But we've lived a lot of life since then. There's been a lot of mileage in between those years.

That's right.

And spoiler alert here.

I'm going to give away some of the story of your lives when I say that, Diana, this is the first time I've met you.
