Summary
Join Havilah in the last of a relationship series for those who are in a season of waiting or singleness. This week, Havilah invited Courtney Cruz, a Truth To Table staff member to share her story of not waiting well and how that played out in her life. Married at 21, Courtney’s dream life of doing ministry and starting a family was turned upside down pretty quickly. What transpired after that was messy. Single parenthood, more than one marriage and divorce, the consequences of chasing her dreams over God’s best carried a heavy price. Hear Courtney’s journey of trying to write her own love story and chasing after her own romantic dreams and what it took for God to get her fully to Himself. Listen in as Havilah chats with her about how Ishmaels get created when we aren’t willing to wait for our Isaac and the beauty and hope that await those that truly surrender to allow God to write the story for their lives.

| 0:00.0 | Hey you guys, I want to interrupt this podcast because I have something time sensitive that I want you to know about. |
| 0:07.0 | On September 13th, 14th and 15th, I'm hosting an online three-day event and it's absolutely free. |
| 0:17.0 | All you have to do is register. We're calling it created for more because we believe deep down inside all of us, |
| 0:25.0 | there's a voice really connected to the way God created us that knows there's more on our life than maybe what we're living. |
| 0:32.0 | And we want to help get that out, that purpose and that call. So we're going to look at three main topics we believe are critical for you to live this full, wholehearted life that you're called to. |
| 0:44.0 | We're going to look at defining your boundaries. We're going to look at hearing and knowing God's voice. And we're also going to discover how to chase those dreams God's way and maybe even find out if they're his dreams. |
| 0:55.0 | So join me. It's absolutely free September 13th through the 15th. And if you like want to invite somebody, this is the perfect event because you can be anywhere you can live anywhere. |
| 1:07.0 | If you're in England, if you're in Ireland, if you're in Australia, this event is perfect for you. You can come to the event. |

| 1:34.0 | You guys, I'm so honored to do this life with you. And I really believe these are the moments that change our lives. |
| 1:45.0 | Hi, you guys. This is home with Habela and this is a podcast where we get real. We get honest. We talk about what it looks like to love God, but still have flaws and to walk it through so that we can begin to live that abundant life that we we know is there. |
| 2:03.0 | Impossible. It just takes some serious intention. So this whole month, we've been talking about relationships. If you remember a couple weeks ago, Christa Smith was my guest and I introduced you to this amazing woman. I cannot wait for you to hear her story. So if you missed it, go back. |
| 2:23.0 | Go back. Her and I hold a conversation in the beginning. And then last week, she took the whole podcast all by herself and talked about what it looks like. |
| 2:33.0 | I think she calls it. I was singled out in a couple's world. And she talks all about what it looks like to contend and be content at the same time. So if that's your story and where you're at, which I believe it's around 70% of the American church are single women. |
| 2:49.0 | Go listen to that. You will love that. And we can be single for various reasons. And we're going to jump into that today. So if you loved this series on relationships, let us know. |
| 3:01.0 | Leave a comment. Put it in your DMs. Maybe even take a picture of the podcast and let your community know about this. We want you guys to love it and share it and tell us more of what you want so we can serve you in that way. |
| 3:17.0 | And just a side note, next month, we're jumping into a brand new series, which I'm going to share at the end of this podcast. And you don't want to miss it. It's going to be incredible. |
| 3:29.0 | All right, let's jump into today's podcast on our last and final show, at least for this series on relationships. |
| 3:38.0 | Today, we decided as a team that we wanted to pull apart, not just that waiting on God and contending and being a single woman. |
| 3:47.0 | We want to talk about when the story, well, it looks a little messy. When the story doesn't go as you thought it would. And maybe take a left turn or a right turn or maybe even in some way you create an ishmael in your life. |
| 4:01.0 | And what does it look like to rebuild from that and still have a hopeful story and what it looks like to have restoration or at least walking into restoration. |
| 4:11.0 | So today, I invited one of our team members, Courtney, to come join us. And if you're on our socials, you know Courtney already. She's already there. |
