What happens when the life you carefully built crumbles beneath your feet? When Maggie Rouse discovered her husband's affair—and learned she was pregnant with their third child the very next day—her world shattered. Relocating across the country as a single mother with two young daughters was just the beginning. At 32 weeks pregnant, doctors diagnosed her unborn son with spina bifida, launching Maggie into a dizzying cycle of surgeries, hospital stays, and medical emergencies while simultaneously navigating divorce proceedings.
In this raw and deeply moving conversation, Maggie takes us into the darkest moments of her journey—the paralyzing anxiety, the desperate prayers, the feeling of falling endlessly with no one to catch her. "Make it stop, make it stop, make it stop," she remembers crying out, grasping for any sense of control in a situation spiraling beyond her reach.
Yet within this darkness, something remarkable happened. As Maggie's desperation grew, so did her ability to recognize God's presence in what she calls "tiny miracles"—the journal that appeared precisely when she needed one, neighbors mowing her lawn without being asked, unexpected provision at critical moments. "When we actually start looking for God," Maggie reflects, "we actually start seeing Him."
The most profound revelation came through a therapist who helped Maggie understand that sometimes the highest form of love is letting go. While praying daily for God to restore her marriage, she eventually recognized that the true miracle wasn't happening in her circumstances but within her heart. "God won't always change our situations," she shares, "but He's always willing to change us in our situations."
Eight years after that devastating discovery, Maggie's testimony offers hope to anyone walking through their own valley. Whether you're facing betrayal, health crises, or seemingly insurmountable challenges, her story reminds us that healing is possible when we choose it daily. The sun will shine again, beauty will return, and one day you'll look back grateful for how God carried you through your darkest hours.
Listen in and discover that even when your prayers aren't answered the way you expected, God is still working miracles you can't yet see.
