Ronda Fields on saying "yes" to God


Listen Later

In this episode we hear a heartwarming story from our friend Ronda. Through trials, disappointments, and years of waiting, Ronda learned to tune into God’s voice over her own. Listen in to hear how saying “yes” led to a greater faith and to adoption.

With a lifetime desire to become a mom, Ronda was able to adopt Caleigh at age 11 through domestic adoption and the foster care system. But only after waiting 2 years from her adoption certification! 

Her career centers around music education, where Ronda is a choir direction, teaches AP music, piano, and voice in the St. Louis Metro area. Ronda lives with Caleigh, who is now a senior in high school, and their dog Dory (cover photo.)

Favorite quotes from the episode:

“You know when you’re in high school and you have all these plans and you’ve got your life planned out and you think it’s gonna go that way - ha! That’s so funny!”

“I remember Him saying ‘I have given you *all things* for life and godliness.’”

“I bought the lie ‘You’re divorced. Now you can’t do anything for God.’”

“It was such a desire in my heart to be a mom. But it’s not the way I chose. But it is God’s way.”

“If you’re ever wanting to help foster or adoptive families making meals for them is really helpful.”

“I have such a better understanding of God’s grace now than I ever did then.”

“There is a box we put Him in. It doesn’t have to be my way. God has something bigger than my way.”

“Just don’t close the doors to what God might do. Let Him lead and open the doors.” 

“Don’t let fear keep you back.”

“I was afraid of being alone. But I’m not alone; I have Him.”
