| 0:08.0 | This is the difference in how it made her feel and how she acted and how she treated me also with each thing that came up. |
| 0:14.0 | It really showed me what it means to place your trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding of the Proverbs 3 verse. |
| 0:24.4 | And I knew how hard that was for her because she really believed in her own understanding. |

| 0:43.0 | I'm Robin, and I am here with Lindy and Katie, and we are your podcast host, and we are super excited to bring you today's story. |
| 0:45.9 | This is Zoe Tenner, who is 23 years old, and she is sharing her story alongside her mom, |
| 0:52.5 | and it's so unique because this is a parenting story, but this is also a child's perspective |

| 0:59.5 | And we know y'all love those stories because they are always our most listened to. |
