Summary
The key to life isn’t focusing on the outcomes, because we don’t understand all of God’s plans. But how do we reconcile this? Emma Dotter unpacks this with the number one fan of the book of Ecclesiastes, Justin Dalton. Justin challenges the listeners to seize every opportunity with a Spirit of trust. Take the first step in trusting God and letting him do the rest of the work. Ecclesiastes can give a lot of peace, because we won’t know all the answers. All of these answers won’t come close to an eternity with God.

| 0:00.0 | All right, all right. Join the Journey family, friends, and guests. You're listening to Join the Journey |
| 0:06.0 | podcast with your host, Emma, daughter. Thanks for joining today. We are reading Ecclesiasties 11, |
| 0:13.9 | and I am in the podcast studio with Faithful Watermark member Justin Dalton. Howdy, howdy? Justin, |
| 0:19.9 | it's good to have you here. |
| 0:20.9 | We just met this morning. |
| 0:22.8 | That's right. |
| 0:23.2 | So I would love it if you would just share a little bit about yourself and what God's done in your life. |
| 0:27.8 | Awesome. |
| 0:28.4 | Yeah, I guess my personal story. |

| 1:10.8 | me across the country and led me |
| 1:13.3 | through many times of loneliness and periods of struggle. And ultimately took me back to Dallas, |
| 1:19.9 | where I met my absolutely amazing wife, Anna. Shout out Anna. Yeah, she's awesome. But honestly, |
| 1:26.3 | it just makes me so thankful for having a wise wife in my life who really |
| 1:32.3 | pursues Christ and I can look to as an example to help me grow in my own faith. |
