In this episode, I talk about a time when I found out I wasn’t invited to a baby shower for someone I thought was my friend. It hurt, especially because many people I had introduced her to were invited. At the same time, I was helping the missionaries and a single mom who needed a working bike to get to her job. I spent the whole day finding bikes, using donations, and making sure she and her son were taken care of.

Later, I realized that if I had been invited to that shower, I wouldn’t have been free to help this mom who truly needed support. God put me exactly where I needed to be. Even though being excluded was painful, it reminded me to stay true to who I am, keep helping others, and let go of things I can’t control.
