Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast where everyday women share real and personal stories of encounters with God.

I'm your host Robin and I am here with Dawn, Katie, and Lindy. And it's our prayer at Storytellers Live that you would meet God in a new way through these stories, that you would know you aren't alone,

and that you can discuss these stories with friends so that walls are broken down and community

is built. Today's story, we have Jill and Katie. Just tell us a little bit about it. Well,

Rob and Jill actually spoke a few months ago at our community group in Jackson, Mississippi. And we've

been working on the sound quality for the past few weeks because we really thought it was a powerful story that people

needed to hear. And while it is one of immense loss, it's also so powerful in that it points

us back to Jesus. Yeah, and her story is a little bit longer than most of ours, but we just didn't

feel like there was any place to cut that every single word she said was really important.

And so here is Jill's story.

Hi, everyone, it's Robin, and I want to drop in before today's story starts and let you know

that we actually recorded this story several weeks ago

long before the coronavirus has hit where we are today. And we spent some time as a team really

praying about our stories that we release over these next few weeks. And while today's story

is a difficult story to listen to it, and it is a sad story.

It is also a story really filled with hope.

And we decided that right now, even though we're in a difficult season as a country and as the world,

that it's important that we remember that there's hope in these times.

And so we really, we know that Jill's story

today will remind you to look to him for all of your needs and that he provides literally everything

for us. And so we thank you for listening. We thank you for joining us today. Know that we're

praying for you and we're praying for everyone around the world.
