How God Answered A Not-So-Small Prayer In A Really Big Way { + a GIVEAWAY}

When Laura Sobiech and I planned time to talk about her memoir, “Fly a Little Higher,”
we had no idea God had already connected our lives in the most unexpected way.

What unfolded just two days before our interview left us both in tears and in awe of God.

PLUS I’ve made all of Laura’s interview segments really easy to find in their own section on my front page.  After her Q&A with Andrew, I got to ask Laura how she balanced her own loss and grief while guiding and supporting Zach through his cancer journey. She was also planning a wedding for her oldest daughter and loving on her other children and husband. I’ve never met anyone like Laura. Her faith and courage are rare. Her insights come from a humble, wise heart that has been broken and made whole by the love of Christ. Be sure you don’t miss the next segments coming up.

  1. I hope that if I were in this situation I could say, ” not my will, but Yours.”
    That is a lot to say it and mean it.

  3. I am so thankful you shared this with us. It touched my heart to hear how Zack gave so much to others in his short time. God took our son the day before our oldest daughter birthday & just 3 weeks before our youngest daughter turned 16. He had a massive heart attack. I am so thankful Gad gave Zack’s mom the time to share so much with him. I feel so blessed that she could share so much with us. I am sure it was painful for her. Thank you God for Zack’s mom. I am thankful to know my son is with God.
    Thank you God for Zack & his mom.
    My love to Zack’s mom.

  4. Wow Renee I am so happy for the change in Andrew, and so happy for your family. There is nothing more important than a life changed through Jesus. I loved the video of Andrew sharing with Laura…so moving. I pray this heart change for all six of my grandchildren – 16 yrs down to 2yrs. 🙂
    I know Laura’s prayer has been answered – that something BIG indeed has happened through Zach’s life and will continue.
    Bless you Renee as you bless others!

  5. I would love to win this book. The part of the video that is standing out to me the most is; we have to submit to God’s will… His will is best & “trumps” my will. Even when it is agonizing & extreme to us, we can know that God has our best in mind.

  7. What a “Mighty GOD we serve”. This has blessed my soul.Thank you for sharing.It teaches me to be specific in my prayers.Also to believe God to do what he said he would do.I am forever greatful to God for your ministry.Thank you for being obedient.

  8. I lost a child when she was 3 years old to cancer and I can relate to any parent loosing a child. It is hard to understand the whys at that point. But being a Christian I knew that God would heal my little girl either here or in heaven. I felt empty when she was gone, but I was never angry at God for taking her home. Lose can sometimes make it stronger. God is good and his mercy does endure forever.

  11. My son is 18 and he has that “love” Zach talked about. It is rare in a teenager. He has had a rough time, but God is his strength. I lost my job Saturday. I’d like the book for my son.

  12. My younger sister is currently on Hospice care for end stage cancer. Following Zach’s story has definitely helped to keep my own Faith alive. Thank you for sharing….higher purpose indeed.

  14. The hope and faith that Zach’s mom has is inspiring. The prayer about not her will but God’s just amazes me.

  15. Its neat to hear God connections and answered prayer. I really loved the reminder that our ultimate hope is for all our family to be in heaven. Even though it is hard to think of not having your family here, you do want to them to be in heaven with no pain or tears. With aging family, this was what I needed to hear today. Thanks!

  16. I am struggling with A LOT of things right now. When I look at this video- my struggles are minimized because I have NOTHING to compare to losing a child. However, this MOM has given me HOPE

  17. The comparison to Jesus praying in the garden so touched my heart. We can really pour out our hearts to Father God. Thank you for sharing.

  18. How wonderful that Zach’s life impacted Renee’s son and pointed him back to the Lord. We never know how God will use our situation in someone else’s life! I read the first chapter of the book and can’t wait to get a copy!!
