Welcome back to The Lighten Up Podcast, y’all!
You guys, we have a very special episode for you this week! My mamma, Starla✨, has joined us to share her powerful testimony of God’s faithfulness through her divorce.
Life isn’t always all sunshine and rainbows, and finding joy and trusting God during seasons of heartbreak is easier said than done. However, navigating relationships and marriage without Jesus is MUCH harder. Can I get an AMEN?! 🫳🏼🎤
It’s important to remember that in challenges like divorce, we can lean on each other, learn from each other, and encourage each other as sisters in Christ. That’s why Starla is here to share her testimony with you - she gets real about the pain of her marriage ending and offers thoughtful advice for anyone in a similar situation. AND Spoiler alert! Starla’s testimony doesn’t end there. By the grace of God, she has found love again 🥹with the man of her dreams. Her testimony is a perfect example of how God restores our brokenness and blesses us when we submit to his will entirely.
We hope this testimony helps you to feel like you’re not alone ❤️and we want you to remember that God is still in the business of match making! Trust him with your whole life because he is able to do EXCEEDINGLY more than we could ever ask for or imagine!
