In this episode of For Such a Time As This, I sit down with one of my mom's best friends, Ms. Dawn, to hear a story of marriage, loss, singleness, healing, community, and learning to trust again.

Ms. Dawn married young and spent years in a toxic marriage. While that season brought two incredible sons into her life, it also took a tremendous toll on her. She shares honestly about questioning God, wrestling with her circumstances, and the people God placed around her who helped her find her way back to Him.

Eventually, she made the difficult decision to separate from her husband. But before their divorce was finalized, he passed away, leaving her to navigate an incredibly complicated mixture of grief and relief.

For the first time in her adult life, Ms. Dawn found herself truly single in her 40s.

We talk about what that season looked like, what God taught her through it, and how she slowly learned to trust and love again. She shares what eventually made her realize that her current relationship was different and how being able to truly be herself became one of the clearest signs.

Throughout this conversation, we also come back to the importance of community: the people God puts around us during our hardest seasons, the ways they can point us back to Him, and why we were never meant to walk through life alone.

This episode is a reminder that even when our story doesn't unfold the way we thought it would, God is still present in every chapter.
