Episode #44: Sarah's Story

In the last episode of this series of Unexpected Turns, host Laura Wilcox talks with Sarah, who became dangerously ill during a stopover visit in Barcelona, Spain, after spending a summer in Uganda. As she reflects on her experiences leading up to her illness in Barcelona, Sarah shares how originally her ministry with Invisible Children had taken her to Uganda years earlier. After this repeat visit to the country of Uganda, Sarah enjoyed the city of Barcelona while avoiding dealing with God about her deep sadness in leaving Uganda and her friend there---an avoidance pattern she associates with her Enneagram personality type.

Sarah shares how a lifelong struggle against fear is confronted head on when she experiences a life-threatening illness in a city where she knows no one. Reflecting on her story, Sarah sees how God used details of her circumstances to show His mercy and love. Even though she had been avoiding him in Barcelona, she knew God never left her side during her days of illness and recovery.
