Summary

What circumstances in your life try to take joy from you? Do you have an inner gladness that surpasses all situations? Is that kind of joy even possible?

0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks.
0:05.0	Where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.0	I'm Tanya Wilmoth. Within just a few days of winning the state soccer championship with their high school team,
0:18.0	two of my girls tore their ACLs. For my younger daughter, it was the first time.
0:22.0	She's going into her sophomore year and while she has a lot of rehab this year, she'll hopefully have two more years to enjoy high school sports.
0:28.0	For my older daughter, it was her second ECL, after just rehabbing and getting back on her first one last season.

1:07.3	list.
1:08.3	Neither is missing out on tennis for the second year.
1:11.1	Neither is going to rehab twice a week. And certainly neither is not knowing if you're going to be able to play the sport you love most for the last time before you graduate. I sat down with her in the middle of all this and my words surprised me. I said life is hard and it might get
1:26.7	harder. It's just the way it goes. I mean think of your own life between 18 and 35.
1:32.6	Was it a cake walk?
