Summary

When her husband received a cancer diagnosis, Stacy discovered the importance of finding God in each moment, even when it isn't easy or natural. That difficult season also helped Stacy trade her life-long need for perfection for a desire to see His will play out in her life, regardless of how messy or different it might look. The cancer journey is a big part of Stacy's story, but she also shares so much more… including why she says YES to opportunities that scare her, how she recognizes the Lord's peace when life is chaotic, and when holding onto your dreams becomes unhealthy.
