Inspired Life
In this episode, Grace Fox shared about where her second child was born while she and her husband were missionaries in Nepal. Her daughter was born with hydrocephalus and the doctors there told them they had to return to the US immediately so she could have life-saving surgery. Grace had to remain behind because the airlines refused to issue her a ticket because she was considered a medical high-risk. Imagine watching your husband board a plane with your newborn baby!

Life, Repurposed
From her experience and others after, Grace learned the importance of living out the truth of who God is. This changed her entire life, she says. By seeing God’s faithfulness in our stories, others can learn how to trust him too.
“We can hang on to hope, even in our darkest days. Hope is more than an optimistic outlook. For the believer, hope is a whole attitude of expectant anticipation of a good outcome, because that outcome is in the hands of God. It might not be the outcome we would like to see, but it’s still good in the overall picture because God is good by nature.” —Grace Fox
