Some prayers are quiet. Some are broad. Some are the sort any of us might pray on any given Sunday. This one was none of those.This week on Paths to Glory, we sit with a woman who prayed a single specific request from a hospital bed at twenty-one years old — and has spent the last twenty-five years watching God answer it in front of her family, in front of her husband, and in front of every last person who had ever known her before she was the kind of woman who prayed anything at all.Raised Catholic in a broken home. A mother in field labor. A little brother she began raising when she was still a child. A marriage at nineteen to a drug-dealing husband who came faithfully to every service she attended, but would not surrender. A brother lost to heroin after a childhood prescription ran out. Groceries that appeared on a porch in answer to a promise she had barely learned to read. A pastor she had never met making a U-turn out of freeway traffic to come and find her.This is the story of a young mother who asked the Lord for one specific thing that only He could give — and of a family whose story has been rewritten so completely that she and her husband still sit on the porch some evenings and remind each other, babe — we're here.www.pathstoglory.com If you’re enjoying Paths to Glory, be sure to check out our two other podcasts!Paths to Glory Kenya shares powerful stories of faith and transformation from the heart of Africa — voices of hope, revival, and purpose.And for the young — and the young at heart — don’t miss The Jones Family Chronicles, a fun, faith-filled adventure series for the whole family.You can find Paths to Glory Kenya and The Jones Family ChroniclesThe song "Paths to Glory" created with Udio and written by Roy Allison IV.687DnYhOfZWHus5AEqMx
