00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.887
Hey friends, welcome back to another mini-sode.

00:00:02.887 --> 00:00:07.243
What did you think of the episode with Tracy Ripley?

00:00:07.243 --> 00:00:12.814
I can't get over how she found out that her son had a congenital heart defect.

00:00:12.814 --> 00:00:16.708
God is so good and the way he works is amazing.

00:00:16.708 --> 00:00:31.373
I mean, I look at my life, all the stupid mistakes that I had made in it, and I can still see where God was working, where he was trying to pull me back, where he was keeping me safe and protecting me from things.

00:00:31.373 --> 00:00:44.219
I mean to deny that God exists, when you've seen something in your life so profound like she did, the nurse who was helping, who happened to have a child who had the same problem.

00:00:44.219 --> 00:00:46.469
And this wasn't even her regular nurse.

00:00:46.469 --> 00:00:49.127
She was not supposed to be there, she was just there.

00:00:49.127 --> 00:00:57.729
God is so good, he does not waste anything, he is amazing and he deserves all the glory in all of our lives.

00:00:57.729 --> 00:01:04.581
All the time I'm just, I'm in awe of who God is Like.

00:01:04.662 --> 00:01:07.308
I said I have grown up in the church.

00:01:07.308 --> 00:01:17.421
I knew all the things, but I didn't follow him very well in my younger years and I made terrible mistakes that I knew were mistakes.

00:01:17.421 --> 00:01:18.305
They were wrong.

00:01:18.305 --> 00:01:21.171
In the Bible you look it up it said don't do this.

00:01:21.171 --> 00:01:22.540
I did it anyways.

00:01:22.540 --> 00:01:29.465
And yet God was still faithful to me and he still stuck near me enough to protect me, to keep me safe.

00:01:29.465 --> 00:01:35.031
And he's still, to this day, doing what he said he would do, which is never leave me or forsake me.

00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:44.474
When I was on my own after my second divorce, all I had was God, and he was all I needed.

00:01:44.474 --> 00:01:46.953
He told me trust me, sweetums.

00:01:46.953 --> 00:01:57.587
He didn't call me sweetums, I don't know where that came from, but anyway he said trust me, anna, I will be there for you, I will take care of you.

00:01:57.587 --> 00:02:02.061
It is my turn to show you that I love you and I will take care of you.

00:02:02.061 --> 00:02:07.513
And I chose to stay in Connecticut, even though I didn't have any family here.

00:02:07.513 --> 00:02:13.793
I chose to trust God that he meant what he said, that he would take care of me.

00:02:13.793 --> 00:02:17.270
And he has not stopped even to this day.

00:02:17.270 --> 00:02:19.006
Glory to God for that.

00:02:19.379 --> 00:02:22.669
I have a wonderful husband, beautiful, healthy children.

00:02:22.669 --> 00:02:23.651
I am healthy.

00:02:23.651 --> 00:02:25.288
I am mentally healthy.

00:02:25.288 --> 00:02:28.461
I am freed from my addiction to pornography.

00:02:28.461 --> 00:02:31.108
I am growing each and every day.

00:02:31.448 --> 00:02:32.871
God is working on me.

00:02:32.871 --> 00:02:34.253
He's working on my anger.

00:02:34.253 --> 00:02:43.225
He's working on all the areas where I have never let him in before, but I have finally surrendered and said you know what, I can't do it.

00:02:43.225 --> 00:02:47.962
And if you aren't there yet, here is your question why?

00:02:47.962 --> 00:02:50.407
Why are you not there yet?

00:02:50.768 --> 00:02:58.268
Look in your life and see where God has been faithful to you and he has done things for you and marvel at that.

00:02:58.268 --> 00:03:04.768
Marvel at what he has done in your life before and then trust him with something new today.

00:03:04.768 --> 00:03:11.274
Look at where he might be calling you out of something and surrender and allow him to work.

00:03:11.274 --> 00:03:20.943
In that you will have a beautiful story on the other side of that, even if it's through pain and struggle like Tracy had to go through with her son and his condition.

00:03:20.943 --> 00:03:32.195
But now he is a grown, almost teenager, and he's able to do things that the doctor said he couldn't do, which was another area that I was just in awe of.

00:03:32.195 --> 00:03:36.907
They kept saying he'll never be able to play sports and he plays basketball.

00:03:36.907 --> 00:03:39.820
Come on, give God the glory he deserves.

00:03:40.181 --> 00:03:59.850
But seriously, if you are in a situation where you don't feel that you can trust God, look back in your life where good things have happened to you and I dare you to not notice that God was there, helping you through that, even if you didn't believe in him at the time, even if you didn't know he was there.

00:03:59.850 --> 00:04:15.348
Look at it now, where you are spiritually and see, open your eyes and truly see where he has actually been working, and you are going to find that he is going to blow your socks off with all the times that he was there, even when you didn't think he was.

00:04:15.348 --> 00:04:19.009
So, with that, I'm going to leave you for this mini-sode.

00:04:19.009 --> 00:04:21.675
Have a wonderful day, god bless.
