0:10.6	Hello and welcome to Girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom, and I'm on a mission
0:16.8	to help you know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy in family
0:21.6	living. This week, we're talking about hurricanes, continuing to trust in Jesus and finding

1:40.9	about it and not know and get new information and find that the
1:46.2	hurricane was now traveling a different path and oh my gosh what an exhausting mess.
