Summary
God cares so much for you and all of the burdens you carry and wants you to know He has compassion and sympathy for you. Just know that your perseverance in faith and being faithful pleases His heart and He understands how you feel. Do not feel guilty about feeling bad for difficult things--that is a proper response. But choosing to take joy and seek to light candles in the darkness so to speak will help you make it through. And the hope that every day of your faithfulness matters will keep you going forward.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, welcome to Add Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest |
| 0:13.0 | privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every |
| 0:18.6 | week to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement and I am just so glad |

| 0:38.6 | Hi everyone, it's Sally and Misty again and I hope that you enjoyed our podcast the other day. |
| 0:46.2 | This is part two of the podcast about this is just not the life I expected. Life can sometimes |
| 0:53.2 | be so hard and as Misty and I were hanging up the other day she was saying you know there's one |
| 0:58.2 | thing I want us to say and that is that sometimes when you are walking by faith and living in obedience |
