Hello there. This is Meredith. Hey, I wanted to drop something in the podcast feed for you today,

something that I think will really encourage you. So if you love the unfolding, then you probably

love hearing real life God stories. So over the four years that I have been hosting the unfolding,

there have been many times when people have said, hey, when are you going to share a story?

Well, today, I'm sharing a story

on a brand new podcast called Wow God Stories. It's hosted by my dear friends Lisa Williams

and Anne Sorensen. I really hope that you'll look for it in your podcast app. You'll subscribe to it,

rate it, review it.

I wanted to give you just a little bit of a taste of this week's episode of Wow God's stories. This is a story that I shared about being homesick. So I've always been kind of a

homesick kind of kid. I mean, when I went to camp in fourth grade, I cried the whole week.

When I moved off to college, I cried for a semester.

I just liked being with my family, wherever they were.

That was home for me, and I missed it.

And it's funny, as I've gotten older, I still feel homesick. I don't know if it's nostalgia, you know,

for the days when I was younger and I was with my parents and my siblings all together, but

especially since my dad passed away. That's been 11 years ago. I have come to recognize that

that feeling that I've identified as homesickness, it's more and more directed toward heaven.

With my dad there and a lot of other people that I love, I just, I feel a little homesick

for being with them again.

So three years after my dad passed away, it was his birthday.

And at the time I had three young daughters, life was really busy.

The day had been super full.
