130: Use Me to the Fullest: multiple devastating losses didn't stop her with Carole Lewis

Author, speaker, and ministry leader Carole Lewis shares her story of overcoming multiple devastating losses in today"s episode. Carole admits she gave her life to Jesus as a child, but she didn"t live for Him until her life began falling apart.  Financial loss, her mother"s passing, her husband"s stage 4 cancer diagnosis and his passing, her daughter being killed by a drunk driver, and Hurricane Ike destroying her home - all devastating losses that could have caused her to turn her back on God. Instead, Carole declares, "God has been with me every step of the way and taught me to persevere." Carole"s husband, Johnny, persevered for seventeen years after his stage 4 cancer diagnosis, allowing them to enjoy fifty-five years of marriage. Notable quotes from Carole: * "God is a perfect gentleman. He will never come in and work on your stubborn will without your permission." * "His [Jesus] ultimate goal is to get glory from my life and your life ... He gets glory from a life that is full of joy even though they"ve gone through some terrible things. And then people say, "I don"t know what she"s got, but I want it."" * "Let Him [God] use you to the fullest." Bible verses: * Psalm 139:13 * Psalm 50:9-10 * 1 Corinthians 9:27 (Carole"s fight verse) * Romans 15:13 * Romans 8:28 * James 1:2-4 * James 1:27 Connect with Carole: * on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carolelewis * her blog: https://carolelewis.com * her books: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=carole+lewis+books&crid=2FYQLY8FWGJQ5&sprefix=carole+lewis+books%2Caps%2C101&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 Send me a COMMENT or QUESTION!
