As humans, we sometimes see changing directions with our business, our art, our studies a step back. What if instead, we saw it as a natural pivot as we learn and grow and pursue our passions. That's one of the things we talk about today on this episode of Coffee Time Conversations.

We are really happy to be introducing you to Corella Roberts today. I (Robert) got to know of her through hope*writers. She's an author, blogger, teacher, mom and missionary. Today, we talk about her book which was released last year, her writing journey and of course, faith. It's an encouraging story about how God can and does use unlikely, uncertain circumstances to grow you and shape you into who he wants you to be.
Born and raised in northern Idaho, Corella's love for books and writing developed at an early age as her imagination was her only playmate for miles. After high school, she ventured off to St. Paul, MN where she earned a degree from University of Northwestern and first heard the call to be a missionary teacher. She married her high school sweetheart, Troy Roberts, and they moved to teach in a village of about fifty people in bush Alaska. After seven years, during which time they almost gave up on missions entirely, God saw fit to rekindle their desire to teach in unreached parts of the world, and they moved to Chiang Rai, Thailand. They have two spunky children who love cats and hamsters, they eat cheap Thai food to their hearts' content, and they support the amazing community of missionaries there through teaching and organizing community events. Recently, God has invited Corella to return to her passion for writing, and she published a book, Colliding with the Call, about the literal and spiritual wilderness she experienced in Alaska, and the surprise of finding God's fingerprints all over that part of her story.
