Summary
Do you know what it feels like to receive a yes from God, but the yes doesn't turn out to be how you envisioned? Our response to the disappointment that we experience can become defining moments in our relationship with God. Anna the Prophetess, our special guest in this episode, is a long-term widow whose disappointment fueled her devotion to God. Although she is briefly mentioned in the bible, her devotion to God is a challenge for us all to ask ourselves, "Where do we lean in times of disappointment?"

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Jada Edwards podcast. It's season two, and I'm still sharing with you what God is sharing with me. |
| 0:06.0 | Okay, so we're still in our series, the best story you've never heard. But today, we have a little |
| 0:11.7 | departure from the norm. I don't have a guest with me, but we're going to talk about an amazing |
| 0:16.3 | woman. And maybe you've heard her story because she's in scripture, but I bet a lot of people haven't. |
| 0:21.6 | She has a very short mention, just a couple of verses in Luke chapter 2. |
| 0:25.5 | But let me give you a little bit of background, a little bit of context to introduce our special guest today. |
| 0:30.7 | Luke 2.22 says, and when the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, |
| 0:36.8 | they brought him up to Jerusalem to present |
| 0:38.8 | him to the Lord. Now, this day is Mary and Joseph bringing the newborn Jesus up to Jerusalem to present |
| 0:45.5 | him to the Lord. This was according to the law of the Lord that every male who first opens the |

| 1:07.3 | of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. Verse 26. And it had been revealed to him |
| 1:13.3 | by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came in |
| 1:19.0 | the spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him, |
| 1:23.6 | according to the custom of the law, he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said. |
| 1:28.4 | Now these are the words of Simeon. |
| 1:30.2 | Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace according to your word. |
| 1:34.4 | For my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, |
| 1:39.2 | a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people, Israel. |
| 1:44.3 | And his father and mother marveled at what was said about him. |
