In today's show, Lisa shares her journey through the loss of her husband and finding God's love throughout it.
She takes us back to that fateful night when she woke up to find her husband's breathing irregular. She describes the emotion of performing CPR and "blowing breath into him" to try to save his life.
Lisa tells us what it was like to hear those dreaded words from the doctor, "we did everything we could." She describes how even in the midst of it all, she could still see God's hand in it, guiding them through and providing provisions they could've never expected.
I love Lisa's strength and how even in the suffering God showed His great mercy. She explains to us how present He has been in very practical ways and with personal details of she and her family's lives.
Lisa gives us important tips to help us through times of great turmoil; like writing everything down to help us recall the details of the events that took place and how when we do, we can look back and see that God was with us all along.
She teaches us the importance of lament and how crucial it is to our healing.
I love how honest Lisa is and her willingness to allow God to use her story to help and encourage others suffering any kind of loss in their life.
My hope and prayer is that whatever loss you're suffering from, you'll find hope through Lisa's story.
So grab your favorite beverage, that basket of clothes that needs folding, or turn up the volume on your morning commute and listen to this week's show, Finding God's Love in the Grief.

So often we think that having more money will solve all of our problems, but most of the time it's not about having more, but rather, learning how to manage what we already have.
The Bible tells us, if we are faithful with little, He will trust us with much. That means, honoring God with our finances doesn’t start when we have more money. It begins right now.
The Family Budget Binder is designed to help you manage what you already have, so you can PAY your bills and HONOR God with your finances.
