Even though she'd been recently widowed, Vonat-Bright had a great way to wake up in the morning.

Just before I opened my eyes to be able to say, Lord, this is your day,

and I want you to live it through me.

Take away any anxiety and take away any apprehension.

Let me express your thoughts, let me be your mouthpiece, and is giving him control of the day.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Wednesday, February 3, 2016.

This week we've been taking some time to honor the life of Mrs. Bonnet Bright. In 1951, Vonette and her husband Bill founded a ministry to college students called Campus Crusade for Christ, now known as Crew.

The legacy of this precious couple is indeed

mighty in the land. And Vonette holds a special place in my heart. I've known her literally

all my life, and she's been something of a second mother to me. As of a little over a month ago,

Vonette is with Jesus now. About a year after her husband,

Bill, passed away over a decade ago, we talked to Vanette here on Revive Our Hearts. As you

listen to this interview, I hope you'll think about how you respond to the difficulties of life

and what you can learn from this amazing woman of God.

I asked Fonet how the Lord had been ministering his grace to her in those lonely times after her husband had gone home to heaven.

In terms of how I'm doing, I think because in the very beginning we decided that we were going to accept this

as an adventure. We were going to believe God for the very best, and that we were going to

rejoice in what God brought to us. And we have had the most wonderful life together.

So now, what is it that you miss most about daily life with Bill Bright?

Oh, I miss him.

I miss his sense of humor, his laughter.

I miss his arms around me.
