All of us have a tendency to fall into a pattern of living from a false sense of control. But when the unexpected circumstances of life hit, we are reminded very quickly of our dependency on the Lord.

Today's storyteller, Mary Bradley Anderson, from our Mountain Brook, Alabama community, talks candidly about her journey of surrendering her plans to the Lord. This is a story about God's sovereignty, His all-sufficient grace and ever-present Spirit, and His omnipotent power as the Creator and Sustainer of life. Get ready to be inspired to live with your eyes focused on Jesus.
