Word Pictures with Meredith

"I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him. Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods." Psalm 40: 1-4 NIV

What happens when your true self is hidden from others and you're living underneath the weight of a seemingly perfect life but behind closed doors you're bound by the chains of addiction? God, in His Grace and Mercy, breaks those chains and does what only He can do!

Join my dear friend John and I for Part 1 of this powerful conversation as he shares his story through honesty and vulnerability.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13 NIV

One things for sure, every experience, every encounter, every thread in the fabric of our lives has purpose! Nothing is wasted. As Patti Lyons shared her journey of faith, family and a variety of health concerns, it is evident that God walked with her through it all.
