Episode 221 - Finding Beauty in the Valley of Miscarriage with Abbey Wedgeworth
What do you do when loss reveals more questions than answers? How do you navigate the doubts and anger that come when God doesn't answer a prayer or longing?
For Abbey Wedgeworth, finding beauty in the valley of miscarriage was no easy feat. It was through her wrestling in her pain, that she began to see the lessons her heart needed to learn, even though her mind knew the truth of God's Word.
While Abbey was well-versed in her knowledge of God's truth, the loss of a pregnancy brought a deeper understanding of the goodness of God in moments where she may not have fully felt it. And it was in one of her greatest pains that God brought forth an important and needed ministry for other women walking through a similar loss.
In this raw and honest episode, Davey and Abbey talk about what it looks like bring our honest questions to God, the ways suffering can teach us to depend on the Lord in a new way, and the humility pain and lament offer us.
You don't have to have experienced a miscarriage to glean from this rich conversation and find beauty in your own valley, whatever it may be.
”The beauty of being in the valley is learning to want Him and treasure Him in the valley more than we desire to be on the other side of suffering.”
