After her divorce, Lysa TerKeurst has found love again. She got married to Chaz Adams in a private ceremony in France. Lysa reflected on her past relationship and the challenges she had faced, expressing that she found solace in leaning on God during her greatest disappointments.
Though I sometimes still feel ....of pain over some really hard stuff in the past, I’m so grateful I didn’t stay stuck trying to make things happen my way and in my timing. In my stubbornness, I thought I knew what was best. It was God’s grace all those times He told me “no.”
He helped me fight battles that are still going on, not with one great big miraculous intervention, but instead with daily provisions and assurances. And though we will face unkindness and unfaithfulness in people, hope is not lost because God is kind. God is faithful.
