Lisa Appelo is a speaker and author including her latest book Life Can Be Good Again: Putting Your World Back Together After It All Falls Apart. Today, Lisa shares how she found faith while growing up in Florida, learning to trust through a financial crisis, and how she called on that trust when her husband died suddenly. She had to learn how to parent as a single mom while dealing with grief and eventually the Lord led her back to writing. Lisa’s story reminds us that the Lord’s mercy isn’t always what we want but is always what we need.
