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

Welcome to Susie Larson Live. Welcome to Susie Larson 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 about 20 years ago, maybe you know this part of my story,

my hobby battled cancer, and I watched my giant oak of a husband go weak and shaky and very

vulnerable. He'd been strong and healthy, a kind of a high producer, and he was curled under a blanket

And it was quite a sight for me to see. It was really kind of, to my undoing in some ways,

because it made me realize how much I'd been hoping in him where I needed to be hoping in God.

Do you have a battle that you can say that about, that you've gone through something, that you say, I don't ever want to go through it again, but it's changed me in a way for the better. So I wouldn't trade it for anything. I want to know. Will you text me?

don't want to do it again, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. 877-933-2484. Well, my friend,
