Summary
For years, Liz Wixom Johnsen helped families decorate their homes as a talented interior designer. And for years, Liz dreamed of a home that was like theirs—not because of the decor, but because of the families within those walls. As a single woman, she often longed for a home life that looked different than the one she had. But she also learned that true homes come in many different shapes and sizes. And when she married a man with eight children and her home was instantly dramatically different, that knowledge became invaluable. On this week's episode, Liz shares what she's learned about embracing the homes—and the lives—God has prepared for each one of us.

"God left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity in the cloud, the oil in the earth. He left the rivers unbridged and the forests unfelled and the cities unbuilt. God gives to man the challenge of raw materials, not the ease of finished things. He leaves the pictures unpainted and the music unsung and the problems unsolved, that man might know the joys and glories of creation." —Thomas S. Monson, "In Quest of the Abundant Life"

| 1:03.7 | Thank you Morgan so happy to be here. Well I am so excited to learn more from |
| 1:10.8 | you. I feel like I should tell listeners that I first met Liz and heard her |
| 1:15.1 | speak years ago. You came Liz and did a fireside for my young single adult |

| 1:41.9 | house of the Lord and we're going to talk today about home and creating home. |
| 1:47.4 | You run a business in your professional life where you help people create a |
