C18-39 “Spread the Joy and not the Fear.” with Laura and Sis Sara

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Laura Frankl Pedersen, ON AIR FROM SEPTEMBER 25TH

My family and I started the Choose Joy Foundation in honor of my Sister, Sara Frankl, who passed away in September of 2011 at the age of 38 years old. As a young women, Sara was diagnosed with a disease that left her in constant pain and confined to her home. Sara blogged about her life journey with pain, sickness, loss and through it all, joy. Through Sara’s life journey, God was the only source to finding love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self-control. These fruits of the spirit in times of pain are lost, unless we surrender to Him.

JOIN SARA AND LAURA AND THEY SHARE SARA’S (LAURA SISTER) DIVINE JOURNEY INTO JOY.
