188. Seek God & Invite Him into the Pain -- Evelyn Sherwood

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Have you ever felt the presence of God? Have you ever felt Him close to you? I know for me, I felt the presence of God the most in the middle of my hard seasons: my divorce, the loss of my friend, and my miscarriage. Maybe you can relate.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>This week on the podcast, I am so excited to have Evelyn Sherwood. She is a friend of mine who sadly has walked through many hardships. One of the things we talk about today is just how much she felt the presence of God in the middle of this hard season. She actually says this amazing quote (I am going to give you a little sneak peek because it is so good). She says, “The sweetness of His presence far surpassed the pain of my suffering.” Evelyn has so much wisdom to share with you.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>But before we head over to the conversation, I have something exciting to share. My book, <a href= "https://jodirosser.com/depth-book/">Depth: Growing Through Heartbreak to Strength</a> is actually celebrating its one-year birthday at the end of August! So for the next 8 weeks, I am doing a special series based on the acrostic in the book. As I was writing the book, I prayed to God for wisdom on how to write a book with three storylines. He gave me this acrostic for the word, STRENGTH!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>So, we are going to be going through the acrostic starting with the S today with Evelyn to Seek God and Invite Him Into the pain. Then we will move through the acrostic over the next 8 weeks on the podcast. I so excited for you to hear the wisdom from Evelyn of how she was able to seek God and invite Him into the middle of her pain. She went through an intense 18 month season where there was one storm after another, so you do not want to miss the truth she shares!</p> <p>Evelyn wrote <a href= "https://jodirosser.com/finding-strength-in-the-middle-of-the-storm/"> a post for my Heartbreak to Strength Story Blog Serie
