How God Makes Sense of the Unexpected- A Story of Adoption, IVF, and Gestational Surrogacy:: Jessica Gilmer


Listen Later

Through a sudden diagnosis in high school to a career detour in college to adoption and IVF in marriage to a ministry calling that made it all make sense, this story is one of God weaving His sovereignty and goodness in unexpected ways.

 

Jessica Gilmer, from our community group in West Cobb, Georgia (a suburb outside of Atlanta), shares her journey of learning to trust God’s plans for her life in the midst of disappointments and realizing that sometimes the unknowns of life can also be His perfectly wrapped gifts set to open at a later date.

 

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

- The detours of your life can lead you to God’s ultimate path for you.

- In the moments where you are carrying heavy burdens, go to Jesus - He will give you rest.

- God alone is the Creator of life!
