Trusting God in our darkest seasons of life and believing He is working all things for good can be a struggle for many of us. However, today’s storyteller, Alissa Parrish, from our Montgomery, Alabama community, reminds us that it’s during the difficult, the hard, and the waiting that God longs for you to seek His presence, ask for His guidance, and surrender to His will.

 

While this is a story of loss and grief, it’s also one of hope and redemption as Alissa reminds us that God’s promises and plans are always bigger than our problems and pain.
