Hettie Harless - God is the Author of My Story - Pt. 1

Hettie Harless - God is the Author of My Story - Pt. 1

From the time she was a little girl, Hettie dreamed of being a mother. But when infertility became part of her story, she found herself facing questions she never expected to ask and pain she never expected to carry. In this episode, Hettie shares her journey through longing, disappointment, and the struggle to reconcile her deepest desires with a God who didn't promise the outcome she hoped for. She speaks honestly about drifting from her faith, wrestling with unmet expectations, and ultimately discovering that God's presence remained faithful even in the uncertainty. This conversation is a powerful reminder that faith is not trusting God only when we get what we want—it's learning to trust Him even when the future is unclear. Whether you've experienced infertility, unanswered prayers, or a season where God felt distant, Hettie's story offers hope, honesty, and encouragement for the journey. www.goodmourningcoaching.com [www.goodmourningcoaching.com]
