Looking back, I would never trade this season of suffering.

What God was doing in my heart and in my life was far more valuable.

He doesn't always give us exactly what we are praying for, but Jehovah Jira, he will always

provide exactly what we need in his perfect timing, and he will always answer the prayer to give us more of his heart.

Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast, where everyday women are sharing stories of hope found in Jesus.

I'm Katie Dunn. I'm Robin Cowan. And I'm Lindy Walker. And we are your podcast hosts, as well as part of the

Storytellers Live Ministry, where simple

life stories are helping women all over the country increase their fate, find freedom in Christ,

and build community among women.

And this is happening in live gatherings all around the country that are meeting in homes.

Today, we are so excited to bring you a story from one of our brand

new communities, Charleston, South Carolina. And today we have Reagan Barfield. And y'all know,

especially this year I've been able to say, I was there when it was recorded. And this was

another one of those. It was so fun. I got to be there. For Charleston's very first live gathering, and y'all,

what a great group. We love this team. I know. They seem so precious. I'm jealous that you were

able to meet them. I do want to tell our listeners before we get to what Reagan's story is about. Just to fill

you guys in on something that happens kind of behind the scenes when we're scheduling our stories,

because we have

so many communities, the stories that are aired on the podcast are usually a few months after

the storyteller has shared her story. And then placement on the podcast really depends on things like

what city it was told in or what the theme of the story was. It's really like putting a puzzle together.

I mean, Lindy and Robin know this.
