Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “This is not what I signed up for…”?
Sometimes the life we planned turns into something we never saw coming. Disappointment. Loneliness. A silent ache for more. That’s where we meet Leah…a woman in the Bible who did everything “right,” yet ended up overlooked, unloved, and stuck in a story she didn’t choose.
But here's the twist: God saw her. He heard her. And He didn’t wait for her situation to change…He met her right in the middle of it.
At this luncheon, we’ll see how Leah’s story in Genesis 29 has helped reshape Larissa’s life …especially in seasons of loss, grief, and unanswered questions. We’ll uncover how God’s purpose often grows in the shadows... and how praise can rise even when nothing around you gets better.
If you've ever felt unseen, unchosen, or unsure why your life looks the way it does, this message is for you. Come be reminded that your pain isn’t pointless, your story isn’t over, and your life still has deep, God-ordained purpose.
