Season 4, Episode 23 – Matilda Marie
We all have good days and bad days. The good days are easy, but the bad days can be challenging. What constitutes a “bad day?” And, why don’t we handle bad days with the same attitude as the good days?
In this episode of Game Changers, Jeff talks with Matilda Marie, who is a walking medical miracle. Matilda Marie is a highly regarded makeup artist whose work includes projects with national brands such as Hulu, Netflix, Under Armour, and MSNBC. Her thriving career in makeup nearly came to a grinding halt when she was diagnosed with kidney failure. She needed a kidney transplant. And, after a terrible car accident, she needed a second kidney transplant. She was on a transplant list for nine years. Yes, nine years!
With such challenges, many of us would just give up. We might ask “Why me?” and throw in the towel. Not Matilda Marie though. She persevered. She had to undergo daily dialysis, which required her to live a very structured life. But she did what she had to do to survive and thrive. And she gives all the credit to her unshakable faith. Her belief that God would see her through never wavered.
Today, Matilda Marie continues to grow as a professional makeup artist. Her career is flourishing and she wants to share her story of faith and perseverance with the world. She is a living miracle who is proving that faith can lead you to a better life. Faith can save you. Faith can make you a new person.
For inspiration on how you can live a better life with a stronger faith, give this episode of Game Changers a listen.
