190. The Trust Factor: Building Trust w/God · Your Enriched Self

  Speaker 1: I remember a season of my life where my husband
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and I were trying to move, and we were moving
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: with a purpose. We were renting a condo at the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: time and needed to ensure that we had an address
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to enroll our daughters in a particular school district, and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the time was ticking away. Now we kind of drug
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: our feet on the process because we needed to get
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: our credit score up and there were so many different
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: things that had to be done. If you've ever purchased
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a home, you understand all the things that it takes
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: for that to happen. Well, at the time, I was
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: blessed enough to have a friend of mine who and
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: she still is, a financer of home loans. She was
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: in a network and connected me to someone who was
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a realtor kind of in her network, and I remember
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: when I first met this person. Now, keep in mind,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the process to go down this journey of finding a
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: home started late May. I remember that because at the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: time it was coming to the close of the school year,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and again this was the steps that needed to be
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: taken to ensure that in the coming year we had
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: secured a home. So we were going to be one
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of those summer movers. If you will. Right. So we're
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: going through the early stages of the process, and my
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: friend again who finances home loans, directs us to a realtor.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And I told this realtor that I need to be
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I need to find a home and get moved into
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the home and be able to provide an address to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: that home before the school year was to begin in
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: August of that year. Now here's the trick to all
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: of this. Around that same time, it was due for
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: me for us to provide our landlord proof that we
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: would say and keep the current lease or that we
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: would vacate. So time was of the essence. I remember
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: being very intentional with God and walking with God through
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the entire thing. I remember being very clear with the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: realtor on the very first day I met her, letting
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: her know what we needed, the type of home, the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: room size, the district, the location, the cost that we
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: wanted to stay within, all of the things, and oh,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: by the way, we need to have this done at
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: a certain date. Now. When she heard the date, she
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: heard the cost that we were trying to stay within,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: she heard the district, she automatically said, I don't know
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: if that's possible, And right, in that moment, because of
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the conversation that I had with God, because of those
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: prayer moments and those quiet moments and those moments of meditation,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I stopped her and I said, with God, all things
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: are possible, which is a scripture in the Bible. And
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I said, I am going to have a belief that
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: this will get done, that we will find exactly what
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: we need in the district that we needed, for the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: costs that we needed, and get it done in record time.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I believed for that. I trusted God for that. It
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: stopped a reeltor in her tracks. She understood the assignment.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: And can I tell you we closed on June thirty
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: eth of that year. Remember I said, we started the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: process at the end of May of that year. So
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you're telling me in thirty days, give or take, we
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: were able to find a home, communicate at the time,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: with some hesitation back to my landlord that we would move.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I mean it was with hesitation, but it was completely done.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Move in to the home and do that within thirty days,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: get the loan to go through all of the underwriting
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and the approvals and everything that we needed to do
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: within thirty days. I'm telling you what the process of
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: trust is a very important part of any relationship. That
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: season showed me that God is ever present and that
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: he is to be trusted. I had the most impossible
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: scenario of all the things I needed the timeline that
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I needed it, and I leaned on God. I leaned
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: on his infinite power wisdom. I trusted him and he delivered. Hello,

  Speaker 1: Now this week we are on episode one hundred and ninety,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and it is a fitting conclusion to the Trust Series,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and so I'm excited to present the last installment of
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: our Trust series. But before we get into this week's episode,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: if you know you know, one of the things that
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I do is make a deposit in the bank of you,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and I do that by way of affirmations. Affirmations are
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a great way to start your day and to command
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: your mourning. And this week's affirmation is I trust the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: process of my life. I trust the process of my life.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I trust the process of my life. Now let's get
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: ready for this week's episode of the Your Enriched Self podcast.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: There is a biblical proverb that I use to lean
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: into Proverbs three, verse five and six. Trust in the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: own understanding in all your ways. Acknowledge Him, and he
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: shall direct your path. For me. That's a very important
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and relevant proverb and it is a foundation of how
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I have allowed my relationship with God to grow. If
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you didn't know, I am a very spiritual person, I
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: will say that I grew up heavy in church and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: very much prescribed to religion, and so a lot of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: my upbringing was based on my religious beliefs. But in
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the last few years, because I wanted more. I wanted
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: my spirit to grow. I wanted to be connected with
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: my creator. I went on just this natural curiosity about
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: who I am and who God is. And the thing
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: about religion is that is that you get to know
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: who God is. You know, I am a Christian. I
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: believe in God. I believe in Jesus Christ, and so
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I have that belief system as my foundation. Religion is
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: just a way that I practice the belief in Jesus
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Christ and God. But what I'm talking about is in
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: this season, I'm talking about is trust and trust is
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: relationship building. And the last couple of weeks we spoke
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: about your trust of yourself. You have to trust yourself
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: so that you can move through life and you can
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: move confidently and you can move faster. Similarly, you have
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: to trust other people in and around your life. You're
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: not going to get where you need to go as
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: quickly and as effectively and as efficiently if you do
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: it by yourself. You can do it by yourself, but
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you're going to be weary, you're going to be exhausted,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: you're going to likely drop a ball or two, and
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: in some cases you're not going to get stuff done.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I know it sounds noble to do it all and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: be all the things, but that was a bill of
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: goods we were sold, and I want you to trade
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: in that bill of goods for something new, something important
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and relevant, and something that's going to change your life.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: And for me, what changed my life. On top of
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: having trust in myself and trusting people, is trusting God.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: And I love these proverbs because when you think about
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: your life and you think about the world that you're
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: in and the world that we all live in, there
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: is a lot of things you don't understand. There are
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: many things I still don't understand their outcomes to situations.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: There are relationships that have begun and ended, and especially
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the ones that end, it's really hard to understand why.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I think that is a proverbial question that we have
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: as humans. We want to know why. We want to
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: know why we're here. We want to know why we
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: need to be doing the things that we do. We
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: want to understand our purpose. We want all of these
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: answers to come to us. I was talking to a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: friend the other day and she shared with me that
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I want to know when. I want to know when
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to leave here. You know, she's doing her
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: planning for her end of life, I guess you can say,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and so it would be helpful right to know when
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: that date is. I mean, it's just like you're planning
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: a trip out of the country, or you're planning a
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: trip in the country, or you know want you wanna
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: have itinerary. You want to know what, when, where where
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: are we going on this day? And so we often
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: want to get those answers. And what this proverb is
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: saying is that lean not on your own understanding, because
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of times what we do is we try
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: to understand it from our limited viewpoint, our limited experience,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: our limited exposure. The reality is you haven't been exposed
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to everything. You might have been exposed to a lot
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: of things. You might have been exposed to more things
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: this year than you did last year or when you
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: were X age versus no why age, but you haven't
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: seen it all, so your understanding will have limitations to it.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: It's not that you're a limited being, you just have
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: limited understanding because you haven't seen, been and done all
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the things yet. And even when you have, sometimes it's
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: hard to wrestle with what you just experience and what
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: you you know walk through the season you're in and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: why you're in that season. There's still a lot of
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: questions that you have not unearthed yet. You don't have
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the answers yet. And for me, that's where God comes in.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I can't lean on my understanding. I know that. And
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I think all of you have been in situations in
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: your life where you're dealing with a season. You're dealing
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: with a certain outcome. Maybe it's a loss of some kind,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe a financial loss, I don't know, a
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: loss of a friendship, a loss of a relationship, a
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: loss of a loved one, and it's hard to understand.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I know that's heavy, but it's hard to understand why
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: did I lose this person at this time, in this
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: season of my life when I needed them the most
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: right And what I've learned, what I've come to learn,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: because it took a long time to get here, a
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: long time to get here, is that initially happens, When
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: the thing happens, it doesn't make any sense. And that's
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the thing about this journey with God and this journey
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of faith essentially, is that a lot of the things
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: that are happening on your fate walk on this journey.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: It's not going to make sense. And for me, I've
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: learned again over time that eventually it will. At least
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: for me it has. I've been able to go back
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and connect the dots and some of the things that
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: have happened. I promise you, I know if you've lived
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: in this life, you have walked through some wilderness season,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you have been through some hardships. I'm talking some of
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the hardships that anchored you down to the ground for
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: a season or for years, or whatever that season might
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: have been. In terms of a time window, it could
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: go on for weeks or months or even years. So
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not making light of what it is. What I'm
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: saying is in life, you've got to trust yourself, You've
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: got to trust people, and you have to be in
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: a position where you know there is a higher power.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: You know that there is God, creator of the universe,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: that understands the journey you're on. Why because He sent
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: his son to walk this earth to have that human
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: experience to understand the journey you're on. If you know
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the story of Jesus, you know that his story ended
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: very tragically. It was very heartless. The things that he
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: walked through figuratively and literally. And so when you're going
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: through your hardships, when I'm going through my hardships, because
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: of the relationship I'm in, I can go back to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: where he has been and know that he understands. You
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Know what's interesting to me. I know a lot of
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: people struggle with God and their relationship with God, and
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of that is because church. I've listened to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: this YouTuber and she calls it Churchianity. There is a
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: culture of church PSH. And there's also a culture behind religion.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: There are activities and rituals and things that are done
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and for me again, and things that are done and
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: for me again. I had to focus on relationship, and
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: trust is all about relationship. I'm not saying you shouldn't
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: go to church. I'm not saying you shouldn't have a
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: religious background. I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: in order to really understand and feel these scriptures and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: get into these proverbs and live and lean on it,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you've got to be in relationship. When you are in
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: relationship with God, when someone says let go and let God,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like a cliche to you. You understand
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: what that means to let go and let God. What's
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: interesting to me is a lot of people may struggle
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: with this content, and a lot of people may feel
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: like this is uncomfortable and why is she going here?
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Why is this even a thing? A lot of people
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: may feel like, really, this is the way you want
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: to take this trust thing? Well, I tell you what.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: This is how I live out trusting. I know who
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: God is. I'm getting to know God every day, and
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: that's how I get to know him through scripture, through
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the proverbs, through the sixty six books in the Bible.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: There's so much to know and glean insight, to gain knowledge,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: wisdom and understanding to get from the scriptures. And the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: cool thing about the scriptures is as you continue to
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: read it, not once but twice, maybe a few times over,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: actually several times over, you will get new understanding. And
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of times that's because your walk has changed,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: your journey is different, your thinking has elevated. You might
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: be going through a wilderness season. So the way you
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: saw things when things were going well and you were
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: in the flow and not the EBB, it's different now,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and so that scripture might mean something different. So again,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: when someone says let go and let God. I understand
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: what that means. Interestingly enough, so many of us, and
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I say many of us, because I've been there. I've
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: put trust more trust in man, and I have been
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: deceived and lie to and manipulated by people that didn't
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: make me feel cynical about relationships or people. It definitely
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: lead skewed my trust and how I would approach certain people. Again,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not blanketing this right, but when I kind of
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: sat back one day and I thought, I put so
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: much trust in this process. Call back on Monday, do this,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: do this, only to learn that that process was failed,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: that process was flawed, there was no follow up, no
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: one was on the other side. I went into an
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: abyss of nothingness. And then there's God. There's been the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: times when I can come to him or go to
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: him and pray with him and just be with him
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: sometimes where I'm not saying anything and get new insights,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: new revelations, new understanding, and I can lean on that.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: It might not be complete, but I can lean on that. Again.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: The faith journey, the journey of walking and trusting. It
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you trust and it works. It means
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: you trust and you keep trusting, and you keep being
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: consistent with that, whether it's consistent prayer, consistent meditation on
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the word, those scriptures. I just meant sixty six books
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: in the Bible. There's a lot of scripture or word
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: to meditate on. And what's really cool about the Bible
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: if you've never read it, there are things in the
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Bible that when you read them, it will it almost
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: seemed like you are reading the current news. It is
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: so relevant to the time. It's not a dated book.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: It has amazing stories, but it's not a book that
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: is not relevant to the times. It doesn't matter what
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: season you were in. You're going to find something in
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the Bible to give you insight, to give you a
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: new understanding, to challenge how you think, or feel or act.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: And that's okay. I heard somebody say it's the only
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: book that when you read it, it reads you back.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: That's how amazing God is. He's so amazing. He created
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: a rule book. He created a guidance that was intended
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to help us through all of the ebbs and flows,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: ups and downs, the conveyor belt of life, the ever
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: changing things. While He remains never changing, so much has
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: changed in our lives around our lives, to and through
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: our lives. But our God has always been the same,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: and so for me, my trust journey will actually start
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: with God knowing who he is, knowing what he wants
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: for me, which is good things. The scriptures to talk
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: about what He wants for us. In the Book of Ephesians,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: it talks about what he created for our unique destiny
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: before the foundation of the world. In the Book of Jeremiah,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: he talks about being already loved when you were stitched
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: in your mother's womb. He already knew all the hears
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: on your head. There are so many scriptures and so
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: much insight about your purpose and understanding that allows me
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: to open up and trust God even more. I don't
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: know what you trust. I don't know what helps you
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: navigate your day, your year, your life. You I we
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: have put trust in so many systems and people and circumstances,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: but for some reason we're hesitant to trust God, who
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: created the universe, who created a destiny for you for
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: me before the foundation of this world. That's in the
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Book of Ephesians. What I realize is I've trusted everything
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: in my life. I've trusted the k through twelve system
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: to get me through school. And I trusted the four
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: year degree that I got it from college. I trusted
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: my journey to corporate America. I trusted the process of
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: getting a home and all of the different milestones of life.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I've trusted everything outside of God. Again, did I believe
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: in God? Yes? Did I get to know and be
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: in relationship with him? Know? So there was a time
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I was just out here living, no relationship with God,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: just living. And when I got into relationship, I started thriving.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: And the thing I want to challenge each and every
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: one of you with because everybody's gonna have a perception
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: of what that is. And what I mean by that
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: is just like success, what do you define as success?
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Is it a certain money in your account, a certain
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: car you drive, a certain home or neighborhood you live in,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: certain job you have, whatever it is. I feel the
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: same way about thriving. There was a time I was
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: just out here living, just going from day to day,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: not understanding purpose, not understanding my role to serve, not
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: even thinking about it. And now I have a better
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: understanding of that, and I'm in life intentionally, thriving, grateful,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: and tuned in, tapped, in to what life has, what
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: God has to offer me. Listen, I spent a lot
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: of time trusting people heavy. This person said they're going
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: to show up at this time, and they said they
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: were going to do this for me. They told me
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I was going to get this job. And I got
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: let down. And these people got my number. They can
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: text me, and they don't. They don't give me the why.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: They just ghost you and move on. God is always there.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: He doesn't ghost you. He's waiting for you to come
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: seek him. That's what I realized too. He's been there
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: from the beginning, before the foundation of the world. He's
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: been there waiting for you to show up, waiting for
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: you to take your rightful place, waiting for you to
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: stand and walk and live in your purpose. Trusting in
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: God has been my key. Has allowed me to grow mentally, emotionally, physically,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: financially in so many ways. And I still have more
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: growing to do. But I'm willing to trust in the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Lord with all my heart and lean not on my
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: own understanding of the when, the where, to, how, the why,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: but to acknowledge Him in all my ways, and he
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: will direct my path. I hope you enjoyed this week's
