Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thanks for listening to this podcast from Susie Larson Live.

Welcome to Susie Larson Live left welcome to susie larsen

live always honored to get to spend this time with you in fact i look forward to bringing you

conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you in your faith walk that deepen your

understanding of god's word and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life.

You know, someone once said that when God is on your side, the odds against you are meaningless.

So maybe you're facing a giant today or a mountain that just won't move or an enemy that seems to have the upper hand.

Why don't you remember this, if God is for you, who can stand against you?

So a question I want to ask you, and I'd love for you to text in, is this, what are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? Maybe you've heard me share this story. It's been quite a while since I've shared it. But in my early years, as a young mom, three little boys, very close to an age, we were going broke because of medical debt. and I had Lyme disease. It took a year to figure out

what the world was going on. And that back then, they didn't know what that disease was. And they

first thought brain tumor, MS. And the symptoms were so crazy and so scary that I just, I felt like

an enemy, I had multiple enemies coming at me from every which way. And it was terrifying as a young

mom who had three little

boys to care for. And remember the doctor telling me, you need to get into a support group, because

I had so much fear. And he's like, you need to get into a support group with other Lyme patients. And I said,

no offense, Doc, but that's the last thing I need. I cannot hear everybody else's fear stories

about this wretched disease.

And so God put it in my heart in the middle of my sickness to study for a national fitness certification.

I'd been an aerobics instructor before that.

And this disease wiped out my short-term memory.

But it was like, I had to do this.

And I took it on.
