“We began to ask those questions that…you kind of can answer theologically maybe before you experience something. But then when you experience something like this, it really matters…Will I worship him in the darkness and will I trust that something beyond what I can see is going on?” -Lindsey Dennis
Lindsey Dennis recounts her experiences of losing two precious daughters, Sophie and Dasah, and the comfort she found when she gave herself permission to ask God difficult questions and accepted His invitation to worship Him in the dark.
Lindsey Dennis is married to Kevin and mother of 5 sweet children– 3 in heaven and 2 in her arms today. She is the author of Buried Dreams: From Devastating Loss to Unimaginable Hope, where she shares her journey of knowing God through the loss of her first two daughters.

Buried Dreams by Lindsey Dennis
Monthly Memory Verse:
"Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” Ephesians 6:11-13
