She Kept The Number

LDS conversion story, faith in Jesus Christ, healing from trauma, family brokenness, personal revelation, God’s timing, finding hope after loss, anchored in Christ. She kept the number.It wasn’t written anywhere obvious. She didn’t talk about it. But it was etched somewhere deeper—carried quietly through the years, too important to lose and too complicated to face.Some stories don’t end when they break.Some stories wait.At five years old, everything changed. The kind of change that doesn’t come with explanations—only fragments. A family split. A life rearranged. Questions that followed her longer than she expected.And yet… something else followed too.Small moments. Unexpected people. A feeling she couldn’t quite name—but couldn’t ignore. The kind that shows up before you understand it.Before you’re ready for it.Years later, standing on the edge of a decision she had avoided for most of her life, she finally did the one thing she had always wondered about.She made the call.What followed wasn’t what she imagined.But sometimes the story you’re trying to finish… isn’t the one God is writing.This episode lives in the space between what we hope for and what actually unfolds—and the quiet, unmistakable way Jesus Christ meets us there.Some stories resolve.Others anchor.This one does both.0:00 — A childhood moment sparks a powerful testimony of Jesus Christ 0:38 — Introduction to Don Norton and her connection to Rare Faith1:15 — A traumatic childhood: divorce, kidnapping, and separation from her mother3:45 — Seeds of faith planted through small moments and church influence5:23 — Searching for her mother and rebuilding a relationship 9:20 — Marriage, healing, and building a Christ-centered family life11:00 — Discovering purpose through learning, health coaching, and EFT12:16 — A defining moment: feeling the Savior’s love at her mother’s funeral14:50 — Staying anchored to Christ through struggle, prayer, and church18:48 — The power of forgiveness and receiving divine help to forgive21:39 — A faith crisis and finding clarity through scripture (Romans 16)25:29 — Joy in Christ: understanding “best days and worst days”30:32 — Trusting God through real-life miracles and answered prayers36:20 — God prepares the way: learning to trust His timing37:31 — Practical tools to reconnect with God in hard moments40:17 — A 40-year prayer answered: surrendering control and trusting God46:22 — How to build trust with God through small, consistent experiences49:02 — Why she stays: knowing Christ’s love through lived experience49:31 — Christ as our “surety” and anchor through the Atonement
