In this throwback episode, Jill shares her story of when the mountains came crashing down in her life as she faced her mom's cancer, her own Crohn's disease, and what seemed to be the end of her teaching career.  Eight years later, she shares how God didn't answer her prayers or questions exactly as she wanted, but that He never left her.

Janna shares her story of waiting... waiting for security, waiting for a friend, waiting for a husband, waiting for children.  Though the stage was set for her heart to grow jealous, Janna prayed against becoming embittered. God protected her heart, and when His timing came, the flood of His blessings poured out.

Dawn shares her story of finding belonging.  From childhood frustrations to teenage bullies to motherhood struggles, Dawn consistently listened for and heard from God.  As she learned, throughout the changes of life, Jesus never fails and He doesn't always come in the package we expect, but He always arrives just in time.  We celebrate this truth each Christmas, but it's true throughout the rest of the year, as well.

How can someone praise God after some of the deepest grief imaginable?  Nancy shares her story, focusing on the early years of her motherhood, of a different kind of miracle.  Her story reminds us that just because God doesn't answer our prayer according to our parameters, doesn't mean that He isn't working miracles within us.
