Sharing One Of My Favorite Episodes Today-What God Knits Together · Have A Little Faith with Delilah

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome, my friend.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Welcome to another episode of Have a Little Faith with Delilah,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: where I share some of the most poignant, most relatable,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: most faith filled the conversations that I have had with
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: my listeners. Listeners who call into my nighttime radio show
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: hoping for direction, hoping to share a story, hoping to
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: connect heart to heart. Some folks call in hoping to
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: be able to pray. And in this podcast, I get
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: to be much more transparent about the role that my
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: faith plays in my life. I think it was last
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: week I was explaining that to me, my faith, my
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: faith in my life is like my spinal column, my
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: backbone in my body. It's the foundation of everything. It
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: guides my decisions. It guides the way I interact with
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: my children, my grandchildren. It guides the way I conduct
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: my business, the way I conduct my life. Do I
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: always follow what God's word says I should do in
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: any given situation?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Obviously not.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: If that were the case, I certainly wouldn't be divorced
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: time and time again, I certainly wouldn't struggle. Ninety percent
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: of the things I struggle with in my daily life
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: are not because of circumstances visited upon me. Outside of
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: my choices. Maybe when I I was a kid or
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: a teenager, I didn't have any choices, so all I
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: had were my responses. I left home the day I
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: graduated high school, and I have been making my own
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: choices since that day. I've gotten no one to blame
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: for my circumstances except myself pretty much. And when it
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: comes to a lot of things, especially relationships, I have
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: time and time again disregarded God's word and God's direction
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: in my life. See a lot of things you just
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: have to kind of guess at. But there are so
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: many things that if you know the Word of God,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and you know God, and you have a personal relationship
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: with the Almighty, you don't have to guess. It's written
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: down in black and white. I said to my pastor.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I said to Mike mccorko, I don't know why he
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: just doesn't tell me what I should do in this situation.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: And he laughed, he chuckled. He said, Delilah, he does.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: He does tell us what to do in just about
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: every situation. You just choose to ignore that and not listen.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And it was true.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: It was true. Then it's true. Now the deeper I
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: dig into the word of God, the more I realize
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: he gives us a pretty clear map. He might not say,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: you know, in July, I want you to leave that
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: job and go to another job, but he does tell
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: us how we are to behave in any job that
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: we're in. He says, work as if you're working under God.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Work not for an earthly boss, but as if I'm
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: the boss. Work as if you're doing it for me,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: not for the person writing your paycheck. Go into work
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: every day with the attitude that you're doing it for me.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: When I do that, I am the best employee on
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the face of the earth. When I work as if
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I'm working onto the Lord, I don't grumble, I don't complain.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I show up, I get the job done. I go
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: above and beyond. I do far more than his ask
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: of me, and I do it with a cheerful heart,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: with a great attitude, regardless of what my paycheck looks like.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: When I follow his word, I am a much much
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: better employee. And in relationship, God tells us how we
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: are to treat one another. Oh my gosh, he gives
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: us so many words and so many directives on how
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to treat one another. He says, love one another, Love
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: one another, he says, love your inemy, bless those who
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: persecute you, love one another. And in relationships, he tells
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: us to be honest, to be faithful, to be kind,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: to be present, to put our partner's needs above our wants.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: That's hard to do when we are as selfish as
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I am. If you are half as selfish as I am,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: that is so hard to do, to put somebody else's
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: needs before your wants. I sound like such a nice
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: person on the radio.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I know I do.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not always that nice. I'm not always generous, I'm
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: not always kind. I have a sharp tongue. God's word
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: tells me there's no room for that in relationships and
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: in marriage. And when I apply God's principles to my relationships,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: my relationship with my husband, my relationship with my best friends,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: my relationship with my siblings, the people that I love, employees,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: my kids. When I apply God's principles to those relationships,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I am such a much better person, such a much
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: more patient person. And when it comes to choosing partners,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that I have not been part of the
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: dating world in almost twenty years, because when it came
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: to picking partners man, did I miss the mark? Over
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: and over and over again. I was in a number
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: of failed relationships that I knew going into them were
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: not of God. I knew that going into them. I
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: was twenty six years old when I gave my heart
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to God, and I would go into relationships knowing that
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: it was not God's will and trying to force the hour,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: trying to make things work out the way I wanted
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: them to, and it never worked out. Surprise, surprise, it
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: never worked out. But when I let Jesus take the wheel,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: things get a whole lot easier and a whole lot smoother.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: And in today's episode of Have a Little Faith, we
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: are going to talk to some folks who let God
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: take the wheel, so to speak, let God orchestrate the situation,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: let God bring their person to them, and let God
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: knit them together. What God knits together is not going
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: to be torn apart. What God knits together is going
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: to last.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Up, first, we have.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: A story from Glenn Glynn, who truly understands the vow.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Remember those vows. You took the vows.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Most of took the vows in sickness and in hell.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Glenn understood the assignment Hi Glenn, welcome aboard. You sound
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: like a happy man. What can I do to add
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: even more joy to your night?
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I just I got to share this with you. I
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: for the first time. I've been listening to you for
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: thirteen years. I love your show. I went to lallah
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: dot com on my tablet this morning before I came
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: to work. I finally saw a picture of you, and wow,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I was impressed with the classy, beautiful lady.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Ah, Thank you.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I just took a chance. What's going to pull up here?
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: This beautiful picture of you came up and that made
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: my day. Let me tell you, I'm calling about my wife, Diane,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: who we'd been married forty two years. She's just got
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: out of the hospital bronchitis, going through it, doing better,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: home recuperating and she's a love of my life, Delilah,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: and just going through a lot.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: So you need a song for Diana and maybe a
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: prayer for complete.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Healing, exactly for healing.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: And I'm gonna let you pick out a beautiful song
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: for forty two years of marriage. I have one daughter
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: that's grown, no grandchildren, and pick out a lovely song
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: for her to feel better. And she's doing better, don't
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: get me wrong. She's sleeping a lot still, Delilah, catching
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: up on her rest. And she had such a horrible
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: cough for about two months, a deep cough, and it
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: affected her sleeping. And now she's starting to eat get
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: her appetite back. So we're getting better.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: So can I say a quick prayer with you.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, ma'am? I would love that, Yes, ma'am.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Father God, I thank you Lord for allowing Glenn to
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: get through on the phone lines tonight. I thank you
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: God for his unconditional, unending, sweet love for the bride
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: of his youth. Thank you God for her healing. Thank
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: you God that she's home. Thank you God that you
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: are the great physician.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Father.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Nothing is too difficult for you, certainly not a cough.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: You're the one who who raised a Lazaruth from the dead.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: A cough is nothing. So I pray you would put
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: your loving hand upon her chest right now and put
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: every cell, every cell in her lungs, every cell in
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: her heart, every cell of her blood. Put everything into
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: perfect order, perfect order, Father God, that everything would would flow,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: that she would be able to breathe without complications, that
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: she would be able to sleep and have sweet dreams.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I ask that you would knit these two together even
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: stronger than ever, Lord God, and that these years and
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: these days that they're enjoying would be the sweetest days
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: of their marriage. I ask this in your precious your
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: holy name.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Wow, Delilah, Oh, I'll never forget this conversation. Thank you
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: so much from the bottom of mine.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: You are welcome, my friend. You sound like a loving,
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: wonderful husband.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, thank you, Delilah. You made my night. Have a
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: wonderful night.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Thank you, bybye.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I loved Glenn.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: He clearly understands what being there, being there, being present
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: for someone means. If you're feeling like you need advice
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: in your marriage, look to people who have made their
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: relationships last.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Sherry, tell me about your hobby.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Oh, He's my rock. He is the greatest support that
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: God could have ever given me. I've had a lot
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: of health issues and I've been three years now, I've
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: gone through some major changes and he has been my
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: support and my rock and I couldn't have done it
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: without him.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Tell me what is your favorite quality about his character?
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: He, to me, resembles what Jesus would resemble. You know
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: when it says how Jesus is your bridegroom, and my
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: husband treats me as I believe Christ would treat me.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Wow, that might be the kindest, most loving thing I've
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: ever heard of.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: Wife say, yeah, I truthfully do not think of any negatives.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: I tried to stay away from negatives. I don't want
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: to be focusing on negatives, so I can't tell you those,
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: well except one, he's a procrastinator, but that's the only one.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: Other than that, I tried to just focus on his
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: positive qualities, and he, to me, resembles how Christ would
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: treat us.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: How did you meet? Tell me how you found this
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: gift from God?
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: Actually on a dating site on the Internet was called
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: at that time One and Only. And he was a
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: college professor, probably two hours away to college, two hours
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: away from me in the state I live in. And
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: we communicated via email for a while and then phone conversations,
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: and then we finally met. But then we had a
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: long distance relationship and we were engaged long distance. We
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: planned our wedding when he was in Idaho and I
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: was here.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: And then finally you got to combine your lives as one. Yes,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: So tell me something that has changed in your spirit
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: since God brought him to you.
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: That's a good question.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: I think he's helped me try to love myself more so,
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: or I could change what I needed to change to
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: get my health back on track.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: It sounds like he's very nurturing.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the few things you've said, he's a professor, right,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: he was a professor. He was so That means he
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: loves young people. He loves pouring into them, he loves teaching.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: Yep, he does.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I am going to play a wonderful song for you too.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Thank you for calling and sharing your love story. Congratulations
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: on finding somebody with a heart like the Lord's.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, took me a while to find him, but I'm
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: so glad I was patient and just waited on God's Timey.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: We could all take a lesson from that. Yes, you
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: have a great night, honey, God bless you you too.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Delilah.
• 14:51

  Speaker 7: duty right now, and hope that he's staying safe. I'm
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: so blessed to Hatton in my life. He really is
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: the greatest gift that I could have asked for.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: What's your hero's name, Ricky? How long have you been married?
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: We've been married now for almost six years, together for
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: nine two beautiful children who were very bless.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Best quality outside of the fact that he's a hero
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: and has compassion and wants to save others and save
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: the world. Best quality about Ricky that we might not
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: notice just meeting him for the first time.
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: He is a big teddy bear, a big teddy bear,
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: and the compassion that he has off it just smelts
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: my heart.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: So after six years still nine years? I guess you said,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: nine years together still melt in your heart?
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: Obviously, I still get excited when he walks through the door.
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: I still get so happy to see his name pop
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: up on the color ID.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I will play a song for your whole family. Thank

  Speaker 2: Wildfires are a constant thing right now. This past weekend
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I went to see my half brother and his family
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: and have a barbecue and driving home about a two
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: hour drive, the air was heavy with smoke from wildfires,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: even in places you wouldn't expect. Kimberly's story is a
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: very important reminder for us to pray. Pray for firefighters,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Pray for those who put themselves purposefully put themselves in
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: harm's way to help people, to save people, to save
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: pets and homes. They are angels on this earth. Joseph
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: the Jeweler Joseph is in his eighties and he is
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: still very much in love with the most precious jewel
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: in his collection. Let's talk to Joseph the Jeweler right now. Hi, Joseph,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: what can I do to make your night all the sweeter?
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: I am eighty years old. I listen to you a lot,
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: and especially when I'm going to sleep at night. Diane
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: and I have been married for forty eight years. We
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: know each other fifty three years, and I'm still deeply
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: in love with her.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, So when you met Diane, what was it? What
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: was it about her personality, her appearance, her countenance? What
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: made you go, oh my gosh, I could love this
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: girl forever.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: I can answer that even after all these years. The
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: night that I met her, the dress that she had
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: on was black or Floyd de Lys and I looked
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: at this woman and I said, she is beautiful. And
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: then we dated for a year or two. But unfortunately
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: I was very immature at that time, and I admitted openly,
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: and we kissed and we went on our own ways.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: We met again in three years, and then we married
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: six months later.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: So during those three years, Joseph, you had an opportunity
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: to grow up and realize what a prize you had.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Did she wait or did she just like pass the
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: time with somebody who didn't capture her heart quite like
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: you did.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: I was just a typical immature guy, and I knew
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: that I loved this woman, but I knew it wasn't
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: I would not make a good husband at that point,
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: but God gave us a gift that we were able
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: to meet again. And when we met, we talked and
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: she asked me, she said, would you like to go
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: to a Christmas body with me? And I said absolutely.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: We were already in love, but what was the right
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: time in life? And here we are. I'm mad and
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: she's seventy eight and we're still together.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Favorite thing to do together?
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Like, how do you like to spend perfect evening spent
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: with your beloved? What would you do if you could
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: take her anywhere?
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Do anything? Where would you go? What would you do?
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: I like sitting with her and talking to her, and
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: that we'd laugh, and we still joke. I still whisper
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: in her ear and she laughs. I'm still a little
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: bit devilish, which I'm glad I am.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: So is she trust me?
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: So is she?
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: In fact?
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: If you ever lose that devilish quality, I don't know
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: if she's going to stick around for the next forty
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: or fifty years.
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: I don't think she will. There's a song that wish
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: I could think of it right now, and I can't
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: because I can't even believe I got through to you.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: Is that about Diane and I being with each other
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: for her that I love you forever. I love you
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: for her. There's a song that it said, I love
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: you forever.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I will find and I love you forever Diane's song.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: I am in Boca Atone.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Because this is not a Boca Ratone accent. Let me
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: tell you, dude, no it's not.
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: I was born in Rhode Island, but I lived in
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: Boc Latone for forty years. I'm a jeweler and I've
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: been around. I've been here for and I still work.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Oh and I bet your wife has the prettiest jewelry
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: in the world.

  Speaker 6: Yeah she does, Yeah she does. A very lucky guy.

• 21:56
  Speaker 6: show and you're a really nice lady, because you really
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: have a great show, and you do touch people's livescape
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: you do.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: There's a very old book that says he who finds
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: a good wife finds a precious thing.
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: It's the biggest jewel or gem in the world. You
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: can make money, you can lose money, you can do
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: all kinds of things. But when you're marry the right

  Speaker 2: hard working, who is wise, who is kind, who is
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: a wrong manager of her household and her own finances.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: She's not portrayed as flawless, but as someone who diligently
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: works to improve herself, to provide for her family, to
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: improve her circumstances with God's guidance. Proverbs thirty one is
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: my guiding light. Up next in this podcast is Marissa.

• 25:44
  Speaker 2: I've spoken with a few people on this podcast today,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: some that are older like Joseph and his gem his jewel.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Some who are younger.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Look for the people in your life that have endured
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: in their marriage, who have made it through the rough spots.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: They will guide your way, bonds from God that can
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: never be broken. Look to those people and ask them
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: for wisdom and direction. As we wrap up this episode
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: of Have a Little Faith, remember this what God has
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: knit together, let no man tear apart. Remember there are
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: many things we choose to knit together that are not
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: God's handiwork, not his doing, not his yarn or his
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: thread that he wants woven together. Don't do what I
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: have done in the past and try to force things
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: to be the way you think they should. Instead, look
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: to God, read his word, apply it to your life.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Pray constantly, and look to others who have wished wisdom
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: and can lead you until next time. Lord bless you richly.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: May the Father in Heaven shine his light upon you.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I pray for you God's wisdom in your relationship, in
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: your marriage, and your family, in all that you do.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: God bless you. I am so grateful that you join
• 27:25
