Here's Yvonne Welch. God knows just how to get our attention, and he knows just what to do to break this will that is inside of us.

And God was allowing me to go through a time where he was purifying me, where he was breaking me, and where he was truly refining me.

And we were told that as Christians, we are going to be refined as God.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss for Monday, July 29th.

Thank you. We're Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss for Monday, July 29th. Here in the month of July July, we've been focusing on practical life issues.

We'll continue today as Nancy gets us started.

I'm so glad you've joined us for Revive Our Hearts today, and it's really a privilege this week to have two friends, one new, and, well, Holly, I don't want to say you're an old friend, because you're not old, but you've been in my life for a long time. Holly, Elleth, many of you. Long-time friend. Long-time friend, That's the way to say it.

But Holly has joined us for a conversation with Yvonne Welch.

Yvonne is a Bible teacher and speaker.

And Yvonne, I'm so grateful that you've been willing to take some time out to meet with us and share with our listeners.

Nancy, it is a blessing for me to be here, and it's really an honor and a privilege,

so I thank you.

You're welcome, and you've authored a study for women called Spiritual Rest in the Life of a Woman,

and that study grew out of your ministry that God has given you as a pastor's wife to mothers, women, young women.

And you had four little children at one time.

And can you relate to this season of things just being stressed and crazy and busy?

And what was it like for you in those days? I can remember that I just would be so tired at the end of the day.

And I got so tired really that Bob had to rush me to the hospital one night because

I said, Bob, I don't know what's happening, but I think I'm dying.

And so Bob rushed me to the hospital, and the doctor looked at me and he said,

your wife is acute, chronically exhausted.

And I went, yes, I am.
