This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we're studying one of my favorite women in all of scripture—Esther.

Esther's story is so much more than a story about courage. It's a story about God's divine design, His perfect timing, and His hand working behind the scenes even when we can't see Him.

Have you ever wondered:

• Why am I in this season of life?
• Why these children?
• Why this ward?
• Why this trial?
• Why now?

If you've ever asked those questions, this episode is for you.

Together we'll walk through Esther's story—from an orphan girl becoming queen, to Mordecai's faith, Haman's pride, and the incredible moments that remind us that there are no accidents with God.

One of the most amazing things about the book of Esther is that God's name is never mentioned—not once. Yet His fingerprints are on every page.

Maybe that's true in our lives too.

Sometimes we're looking for lightning bolts, while God is quietly working through:

✨ a prompting ✨ a friend ✨ a closed door ✨ an unexpected opportunity ✨ a conversation ✨ perfect timing

We'll also talk about:

• Why Esther's courage came after fasting and prayer—not before. • Elder Ronald A. Rasband's powerful General Conference message "By Divine Design." • How God prepares ordinary people for extraordinary moments. • Why motherhood is your own "for such a time as this." • The importance of finding your own "maidens"—those faithful friends who pray, fast, encourage, and strengthen you through life's hardest seasons.

I also share a sweet Family Home Evening experience our family had this week that reminded me how often God—and the people around us—see gifts in us that we don't always recognize in ourselves.

If you've been wondering whether God sees you in the middle of motherhood, exhaustion, waiting, or uncertainty, I hope this episode reminds you that He does.

He has always been in the details.

If this episode encouraged you, would you take a minute to leave a review and share it with another mom? It helps more women find the podcast and reminds them they are never alone in their scripture study.

Thank you for being here each week. I truly love studying the scriptures with you.

Remember, God is in the details. He has been preparing you longer than you realize, and the courage He asks of you today may become the answer to someone else's prayer tomorrow.

With love,
