#101 Robyn Rison Chapman [God Can Use Your Ordinary Life]

Would you describe yourself as ordinary? Do you feel like God couldn't possibly use you? In a season of grief, Robyn asked God to hold on to her, and he did. She experienced a closeness with Him that she can't stop talking about. She had a routine of walking for exercise, and God met her during her walks. Robyn began writing about what she experienced on her walks and unknowingly wrote a book with God. Robyn describes herself as ordinary, like I think most of us would, and says all she did was continue to say yes to what God was asking.
