Summary

Savannah Harrell, from our community group in Fairhope, Alabama, vulnerably shares her story of the difficulties her baby faced once born and then the struggles she faced while home and settling into motherhood. Her story reminds all of us of the importance of releasing our expectations to God and inviting Him into our reality.

 

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

  • Expectations you place on yourself can be detrimental to the reality God wants you to live in.

  • A life of faith is a life of continual surrender.

  • God longs for us to look to Him when we fall, not run away in shame, guilt, or embarrassment.
