Hear the story of a woman who experienced three miscarriages and chose to trust God through it.
Talking Points:
- Julie clung to the words from Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Julie had to trust that God had a plan though it was painful to her.
- Learning how to trust God and come to a place of understanding was a process for Julie. It took her a lot of time. She would repeat the words from Proverbs 3 over and over as she worked to understand her circumstances.
- Julie expressed that she wishes she didn’t have to go through these tragedies to learn about herself and God, but she sees how God brought her through it and how he has used it in her life.
