In this episode she shares part of her personal testimony, and the four primary ways that people hear from God. We discuss the pros and cons of each, some Biblical examples, and general aspects of communicating with God.

Abby Mida shares her very personal journey to motherhood. Over four years she experiences the recurring highs of pregnancy and lows of heartbreaking loss. After 6 miscarriages her physicians advise attempting IVF (in vitro fertilization). Abby clearly felt God calling her to wait. She leaned into her faith and was obedient with what she felt God was leading her to do. She and her husband AJ follow God's prompting and wait.
They embark on a 10 month cross country adventure that landed them in beautiful Breckenridge where God had a plan that would change everything! Suddenly God's whisper has changed, "for such a time as this."
Some encouraging take aways from Abby:
Seek God more than your desires and know He is writing your story!

Praise Him in the waiting by enjoying worship music.

There is a warrior heart inside of you. Don't give up!

You won't believe what happens in the courtroom. Powerful!
This testimony is such a reminder that ONE word from God can change EVERYTHING!
A few of the highlights from Ruby:
If you are in a dark place, DON'T give up! Healing is possible!
When someone reaches out, be willing to listen, because you may that one person God will use to make all the difference.
Forgiveness is for YOU to be free, not necessarily for the person who has hurt you.
One word from God (a song, a friend, a poem) can change everything!
She's grateful for her hardship, because ultimately God used it to change her life for the better and resulted in growth, new perspective, healing and gratitude.
Amazing job, Ruby! Thank you for sharing this personal testimony with me. I am so pleased to hear how well you are doing and I will pray for continued blessings of good health.
