An Interview with Lisa Simmons
Lisa Simmons knows the difference between life's candy shop and vitamin shop. Her second child Daniel was diagnosed with Autism when Autism was an obscure diagnosis . . .1 in 10,000 children, compared to 1 in fewer than 70 children today. The bitter diagnosis didn't taste good, feel good, or make her happy; but in spite of the bitterness, God sustained her, empowered her, and changed her life.
Whether it's the candy shop or the vitamin shop . . . we must choose to rest in God's sovereignty to sustain us. He loves us and wants to nourish our souls.
