Thanks for listening to this Susie Larson Live podcast available thanks to support from't do dance. You don't have to know how to ever since and but since we've got you late.

Welcome to Susie Larson Live. Always so 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. Some of you may be wondering

if someone's subbing for me today, well, no, it's me. I just still have a bad cold, so please

forgive my voice today. It's a little rough, but I'm so grateful to be with you today.

You know, many years ago, as a young mom, I had a moment

that profoundly impacted my relationship with my husband and how I walked with God.

And some of you maybe have heard this story before, but I just need to share it to set up our topic

today. I've been on bed rest for six months. We had a one and a three-year-old, and then I'm

on bed rest with a high-rest pregnancy for six months. We had a one and a three-year-old, and then I'm on bed rest

with a high-risk pregnancy for six months. We just finally had given birth to our third son,

only to face this potential of a debilitating neurological disease. There were so many unknowns,

so much fear. My husband had exhausted himself, taking care of me and our little ones.

And here we, you know, we endured the

six months of bed rest, used up so many friend favors, and now we are facing the scary uncertainty

of this wretched unknown disease. And I just couldn't bear it. And in my tears, I was in bed.

I pulled my husband close and I said, you have to divorce me. I can't let you give up your

life for me. I'm going to go live with my parents.

And you've got to marry someone who loves Jesus and who will raise these boys to love Jesus too.

And I was beside myself.

I know, of course, speaking out of so much fear.
