Hey friends and welcome to the happy hour with Jamie Ivy podcasts. I'm your host Jamie and I'm so glad you're here

Each week on this show I invite a friend to join me and we chat about the big things in life the little things in life and everything in between

Hey y'all welcome to episode 496

Alexander Hoover is here and she came down to Austin recorded with me and I just need to say off the bat that this is the shows that I love the most the shows

Where I sit down with someone who believe it or not we've only met one other time before this

But we just clicked and we start the show talking about eighth grade like who would have known

We talked about eighth grade and then we move into some conversations that I just love

Conversations about trusting God's character

Alexander is releasing a book next Tuesday called Eyes Up how to trust God's heart by tracing his hand

And we talk a lot about that today and it's a conversation that I really truly believe is needed for all of us

There's not a season that we're in where we look and go you know what?

I really don't need to think about trusting God's character because we always need that and when I love about this

Conversation is Alexandra and I neither one of us are saying hey don't worry God's got it all under control

Don't worry life's gonna be okay. No, we're saying life's hard and we can still trust God's character

Guys if you're listening to this live on the 20th and you live in Charlotte at the end

Alexander invite you to something special happening tonight

But no matter what check out her book Eyes Up it comes out next Tuesday you guys also next week's a big week for me because I'm actually going on

Sylvite call never done this never taking this much time off in the eight years of running the happy hour in Ivy media

And so I'm taking about six weeks off to say I'm excited as an understatement to say I'm nervous isn't even bigger understatement

But everything's in good hands Lindsey Angie the whole team they're taking care of everything

But I do want to let you know about something is we've talked about this in some of the other shows

And we announced it earlier in the month when we had our birthday celebration
