You Never Wait Alone - TBH 338

Trapper Jack (Philip Keller)
About this episode

I had some knock down drag out arguments with God. ‘Where’s my husband? Everyone else is married.’ That’s when I had two dreams about my future husband.

----------

Hi! Trapper Jack here.  I remember reading a much-publicized Newsweek article, almost 20 years ago, that said single women over 40 were more likely to be killed by a terrorist then to find a mate. Cheery thought, yes? Fortunately, it was nonsense, but caught on as a hapless truth of a middle-aged life.

 Question… Did you pray to have God provide your spouse? Did you pray after marrying the ‘wrong’ one? Did you receive a sign that your mate was on the way. In other words, was God invited into the discussion?

Love conquers all in this podcast episode as Jennifer finally had her marriage prayers answered at age 46. Vickie waited eleven years for the guy to show up that she had seen in a vision. Gina was apparently married to the wrong man for 25 years. Miraculously, a pilgrimage Gina and her husband made to Medjugorje had Gina asking her newly converted fellow, ‘who are you and what did you do with my husband?’ These three stories would fall under the category of, ‘with God, all things are possible.’ Enjoy the podcast!
