So Long, Normal by Dr. James Dobson

June 9-10, 2022
Guest: Laura Story

Part 1
When Laura Story, award-winning singer/songwriter, married her high school sweetheart, it felt like a fairytale come true. But then her husband, Martin, developed a brain tumor, and its removal left him with debilitating memory and sight problems. On today’s Family Talk, Laura declares, "So long, normal!" In her 2011 Grammy award-winning song, "Blessings," Laura asked God, "What if Your healing comes through tears? What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near? And what if trials in this life are Your mercies in disguise?" Through difficult experiences, Laura learned that the Lord does incredible things when we surrender our brokenness to Him.

Part 2
Having a husband who developed a severe disability led Laura Story to say, "Farewell, predictable." The unexpected trial was a free fall into faith. Because Laura trusted in the Lord, she did not fear the unknown. On today’s edition of Family Talk, the Christian singer/songwriter shares that she identifies with many biblical characters who experienced a disruption in their lives. Similar to the Proverbs 31 woman, Laura has learned to laugh at the days to come, recognizing that we are indeed created by God to do good works.
