Leigh lost her mom and youngest sister in a car accident when she was ten years old. Ann became a widow in her mid-twenties after only being married for 20 months. They came together when Jimmy, Leigh’s dad, married Ann and brought her into the Curry clan making Ann an instant mom to His three remaining children. They also share how the kids felt about welcoming a new sibling into their family and the powerful revelation that baby brother shared with them later in life. And in more recent years they suffered the loss of their family patriarch, Jimmy, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s and tell how they dealt with that grief as well as how the lessons Jimmy taught them in earlier years brought them full circle.
One of the reasons I felt called to start this podcast was because of stories like Donovan and Lavonna Garrett’s. If you don’t believe God can make a difference in your marriage and family then you need to listen to the testimony of how Donovan’s alcohol abuse almost destroyed him, his marriage and his entire family. As I look at the photos of their beautiful family today, I’m in tears, knowing that if Donovan hadn’t surrendered his life to Christ, their story would have had a much different outcome. No, they aren’t perfect, as none of us are, but they have so much joy radiating from them because of what God has done. If you or someone you love is struggling with alcohol, I promise this episode will encourage and give you hope.
Today I’m excited to introduce you to my newest friend, Jennifer Deese. Because Jennifer loves Christmas and all of the holiday traditions that go with it, I invited her to share some of her favorite traditions that we hope you’ll want to add to your own this year. She’s been through some tough times in her life, which is why these long-standing traditions are even more dear to her and her family. They provided stability for her kids during those difficult years. I know you’ll be blessed by our conversation.
