103: Marie White and How God Turns Tragedy into Trust

Marie White is an author, Tedx speaker, and YouTuber. Today she shares the story of how the most difficult time in her life became the catalyst for her work as an author. Marie takes us into the moment when she discovered her child was missing, how she cried out to God, and the intimacy she finds with him as she trusts him. She faced every parent’s nightmare and then wrote the book to help other parents going through similar circumstances and found a wider audience than she imagined. Marie’s story is a powerful example of how God turns tragedy into trust.

Please listen and share Marie’s story!

Stories Marie shared:

Growing up going to church
Feeling unworthy of Jesus for three days after her husband found Jesus
Discovering her husbands secret Bible reading
Sharing the Gospel with her family
Her family’s mission to foster children
How she felt when her youngest child was abducted
The unexplained peace she feels about the situation
The powerful moment she couldn’t hold the sorrow in anymore and cried out to God
Why she wrote her first book, God’s Love for LGBTQI
How God used the worst event of her life to channel her creativity to YouTube
The intimacy with God she felt as she trusted him for her child
What she’s learned about trusting God

Great quotes from Marie:

I knew Jesus and I knew I wasn’t good enough.

When the sobs felt forced, I sat up, wiped my face, and went back to sweeping again.

We all have a tendency to marinate on things. We need to hand them to God and let go and that is extremely difficult.
