from FamilyLife Today® · host FamilyLife Network

When life doesn't go as planned, most of us don't stop living—we just stop expecting much. And maybe we keep waiting for real life to start. Elizabeth Woodson, author of Embrace Your Life, joins Dave and Ann Wilson for a candid conversation about disappointment, comparison, and the exhaustion of postponing happiness until life cooperates. This conversation is for anyone tired of waiting for a different story or pretending the losses don't sting. See cru.org/us/en/about/privacy FamilyLife’s Privacy Policy
