  Speaker 1: Now my heart went out to Paul. He's already been
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: through a lot. And the Lord is using the ship
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: to get him into his destiny. And then the thing
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: he was counting on, riding on, protected by, start coming apart.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: What do you do when what God gave you to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: ride in starts coming apart? Do you give up hope?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Do you throw up your hands? Do you walk away?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I want to suggest to you that God did not
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: promise the ship. He promised you. See, God promised to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: get you there, but he didn't say how. God promised
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to bring you through, but he didn't say through whom.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And if you're not careful, you alpha males, you controlling sisters,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: you will put all your energy into preserving the boat.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Not understanding that success is not defined by preserving the temporary.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: And you'll put all of your work into preserving something
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: that God only gave you for a season. God brings
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: some people in your life to get you from point
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: A to point B. And if you're not careful... you
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: will get to point B. Instead of going to point C,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you'll stop and try to preserve what you had, not
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: understanding that God's got something else to carry you the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: rest of the way. I'm saying that just because the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: ship comes apart doesn't mean you have to come apart.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: You're in love with what you had. And you think
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that if your life does not retain the shape that
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you started with, you don't think that it can get
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you where you're going. See, the boat didn't cease to exist.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: It just took on another form. Just because things are
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: broken in your life doesn't mean you can't survive. I'm
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: going to try it on y'all over here. Just because
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: things are broken in your life doesn't mean you can't survive.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Stop trying to glue the boat back together. It may
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: not ever be like it was, but grab whatever it
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: is and hold on to it till you get where
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you're trying to go.
