Summary

It's first Monday freebie time, and we are delighted to debut our Tulsa community with a story from Kenzie Hightower!

Kenzie's typical life took a detour due to her brother's sudden and life-threatening heart condition. During his three-month hospitalization, she quickly assumed the role of support person and found the new job to be heartwarming, hard, and, well, busy. Kenzie initially buckled under the weight of coordinating all the things and keeping it all together.

Still, when she was riding life's highs and lows, the Lord was actively proving Himself to be the one to handle it all. Kenzie grew to rest easy in His sustaining power as she sought to support her people.

In this episode, you will learn:

– Even the best support person needs the support of Christ when trials come.

– Looking on the bright side with a brave face can be exhausting. The Lord alone will sustain you.

– You can't do it all, but He can.
