I’m writing these letters because I feel such a tender responsibility to speak life and truth into the generations coming behind me. And this topic of love is hands down one of the most important. I’ve learned more about love the past three years than ever before. And though it’s been a devastating season, it’s also been a time of great revelation and redemption. I would choose to marry Art all over again. After all, who he really is emerged most evident when he chose to come back home. Yes, we’ve been through the lowest of times. But 26 years ago, I saw a man who is humble enough to let God course correct him. And ultimately, one who chooses to do the right thing even when all the odds are stacked against him. #lysasletters

In the caption, Lysa candidly opened up about her relationship with Art. The couple renewed their wedding vows in December, one year after announcing their plans to divorce.

“And this topic of love is hands down one of the most important,” she captioned the photo. “I’ve learned more about love the past three years than ever before. And though it’s been a devastating season, it’s also been a time of great revelation and redemption.”

“I would choose to marry Art all over again,” she continued. “After all, who he really is emerged most evident when he chose to come back home. Yes, we’ve been through the lowest of times. But 26 years ago, I saw a man who is humble enough to let God course correct him. And ultimately, one who chooses to do the right thing even when all the odds are stacked against him.”

Lysa has been an open book when it comes to her struggles over the last several years. So much in fact, that she wrote a New York Times best-selling book, It’s Not Supposed to be This Way, about the trials that have painfully shaped her life.

The beauty about trials is that God never leaves us there. He is the author of beauty and redemption, and his works of restoration are so unbelievably clear in Lysa’s journey.

We know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him and have been called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)

It’s clear that Lysa has been called to lead and steward women for the Kingdom.

Her other Lysa Letters touch on finding success (20-year-old me), dating (22-year-old me), identity in who Christ created us to be (23-year-old me), wisdom (24-year-old me), and most recently, beauty and self-worth (25-year-old me).

A steadfast woman of faith, Lysa is using the experience and the wisdom God has instilled in her to lead the next generation to faith, love, success, and TRUTH. Something that several other influential women are missing in their leading of young women.
