  • In the video, Lysa observed, “If I could just discover the right thing, a better job, financial blessing, the right person to love me, the right kids with the right accolades, then I’d feel satisfied.” In what things have you sought satisfaction? Did it satisfy?
  • Can you share both a time when life seemed like a random series of events and a time when it seemed like there was an intentional plan unfolding?
