Ciara Webster shares her heart and her story in this week's episode. Ciara is a Kindergarten teacher in her 20s and is such a joy to be around! She has the best smile and sweetest way about her; we are sure these qualities contribute to her being an amazing teacher!

Ciara was just six weeks away from a wedding when she leaned into what the Lord had been prompting her to do; she called off the wedding. It was the heartbreak of a broken dream and the hardest thing she's ever had to do. She had been dreaming for a long time of living with her future husband and children in a house with a white picket fence. She was at the point of watching her friends have their weddings, showers, and baby announcements.

She teaches us that comparison is the thief of joy and that God's plans are more beautiful than all of our disappointments. His plans are so much greater and bigger than we could ever imagine, especially when we are in the middle of something we just don't understand. Through this trial, she also learned that serving brings healing to the soul and that God really will give us His peace that passes understanding!
