Summary

Today's storyteller, Jimma Smith, from Tupelo, Mississippi, shares how the goodness of God got her through the sudden loss of her husband at the age of 31 and how His goodness continued to walk alongside her as she navigated the waters of widowhood, a second marriage, a blended family, and more.

Jimma's story is one that will challenge you to look for the moments in your life when God left you speechless and in awe of His presence.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

Grace and truth together give you transformation.
Satan may have won a battle in your life, but rest assured God has won the war.
Life can be a yo-yo, but in the ups and downs, God is always with you.

ON PATREON THIS FRIDAY: How often do you stand in awe of all God has given you? Do you practice recalling moments when you felt the presence of God? When was the last time you were speechless because of God's goodness? In this month's DIG DEEPER AUDIO DEVOTION,

Katie will look at the importance of being still before God, magnifying His name, and focusing on His Kingdom plan. This devotion will encourage you to take a moment each week to "Sabbath" before the Lord.

0:42.9	storyteller. And Katie, tell us a little bit about her. Well, one thing about Gemma that I just love is she
0:48.1	is so endearing, first of all, and so humble in the fact that she didn't think that she had a story to tell
0:54.9	or that her story was worthy of being told. And let me tell you guys, she has so many beautiful
1:00.2	layers of God just showing up in her life and just telling her that he's with her and that he
