Radio Hostess: Lysa TerKeurst

I’m amazed at how God shows up in tough times! Hi, I’m Lysa TerKeurst for Proverbs 31 Ministries. One afternoon my friend Zoë’s husband, Tom, came home carrying a beautiful arrangement of flowers. Zoë was thrilled! But, then Tom said that he’d just lost his job.
After a week of wondering, “what now”, Zoë’s flowers had wilted. When she threw them away God impressed something on her heart. “Save the container. I’m going to fill it until it overflows.” So, she left the little bucket on the kitchen counter.
Over the next ten months of waiting for Tom to find work they received cards, e-mails and words from the Bible. They placed each one in the container where the flowers had been and before long it overflowed with encouragement. When Zoë and Tom felt discouraged they read something from the bucket and it reminded them that God was with them and that He had a plan!
