0:00.0	Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast where everyday women share personal stories of God's love.
0:09.0	I'm Robin and I'm here with Katie and Lindy and today we have Susan's story, which we have
0:14.1	been waiting for a long time to share.
0:16.3	That's right.
0:16.9	I mean, I don't know if anyone is more excited than me for people to hear Susan's story.
0:20.5	I actually met Susan when I led the Discover Your Story online Bible study in fall of 2020. Carrie Ray from episode 125 was also in that Discover Your Story Bible study. And I'm going to tell you, every time Susan spoke, we all listened in a little bit closer because she is full of so much wisdom.

1:24.3	My name is Susan Simon.
1:26.2	And first of all, I want to thank the storytellers team for allowing me to share my story.
1:30.9	And I hope that the word that I say will give hope and encouragement and healing, hopefully, to the women who hear my story.
1:38.9	I was born in Savannah, Georgia, in 1951.
1:42.9	I was a premature baby weighing only three pounds at birth, but I have
1:46.7	since made up for that. I was an only child. I had a pretty much idyllic childhood, and I like to tell
