God's Kindness in Unexpected Motherhood:: Lauren Kelly's Story :: [Episode366]

When life doesn't unfold the way we expected, it can cause us to question God's love and His kindness. In seasons of sadness and disappointment, today's podcast reminds us that the Lord is still at work—bringing good on our behalf and glory to His name.

In this episode, Lauren Kelly, who shared at our Vestavia, Alabama live gathering, vulnerably tells the story of an unexpected journey. From being a single young adult to becoming the wife of a widower and the mother of three children, Lauren faced the challenges of stepping into grief, loss, and the feeling of living life in a fishbowl. Along the way, she also experienced the heartbreak of two miscarriages.

Through it all, Lauren has seen how God brings beauty from hard places. Her story reminds us that while we aren't promised an easy life, we are promised a God who is our comfort, strength, and ever-present help.

VERSE OF THE WEEK:

"Not one of all the LORD's good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled." Joshua 21:45

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK:

Where are you letting your eyes focus on your feelings and expectations rather than on the goodness and kindness of God? Get your eyes focused on God's Word and Who He says He is.
