Workshop Speaker
Bev Phillips Living Between Once-Upon-A-Time and Happily-EverAfter: God's Sovereignty in Difficult Times Often when we begin a relationship with Jesus, it feels like the sweet beginning of a wonderful story that will continue until the happilyever-after of heaven. What happens when there are big bumps or deep valleys along the way? Difficulties such as marriage, finances, cross-country relocations, miscarriages, prodigals, cancer, and aging? Can we see His presence actively woven throughout each event and season? Let’s examine how God is our burden bearer, provider, supporter, sustainer, and helper as He authors our life stories. He answers the question of “who’s in charge here?” while giving practical help and encouragement during the “in-between” times.
