I pray, Lord, today give me eyes to see what I'm going to miss without you.

I'm Joyce Meyer, and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

Hi, everyone. Welcome to enjoying everyday life once again. Today, Joyce, Aaron, and I

continue our conversation with Grammy-nominated recording artist, TV host, author and speaker

Sheila Walsh, who we love, and she's talking about the hope she found in Christ in her darkest

moments.

Now, if you're walking through a difficult time in your life, or you need reassurance that God

is not angry at you, Sheila needed that too, so you don't want to miss this vulnerable

conversation about the power of God's word to heal you right where you are.

We're glad you're with us.

I had this really powerful memory from my childhood.

After my dad died, we lost our home and our car and we moved into housing provided by the government.

My brother and my sister and I, we were the poor kids in our school. We got free school uniforms and free school meals. And it was, when you get to 12, you go from primary school to secondary school in Scotland. And at 12, there's always a school dance.

and I'm a little girl I'm young and I'm in a field and somebody's walking towards me and I'm wearing that girl, I'm young, and I'm in a field, and somebody's walking towards me, and I'm wearing that blooming dress. And it is Jesus, and he comes up and takes hold of my hands and swings me around. And it was like, I saw you then, and you were beautiful then, and you're beautiful now. Wow, what redemption. Oh, I know. Because that's when you're a little girl and you have a situation like that, you don't forget it.

I mean, it's like, where's my fairy godmother to go fix my dress when I need it?

And, you know, I remember different times in my life feeling like those things that were just not like everybody else or, you know, just weren't good enough or
