Summary

I had to become willing to place myself at the altar of God's will. I had to relinquish expectations about life, God, relationships—that I held tightly in my fist. With each relinquishment, I discovered I could trust God, find happiness.

0:00.0	Hello, my friends, and welcome to Life with Sally podcast.
0:14.2	I'm so glad you're here, so please make yourself a cup of tea and come on in.
0:56.6	Thank you. Please make yourself a cup of tea and come on in. Hello, my friends. It's so fun to have you joined me today. I've got lots and lots and lots to tell you. Should I go through my devotional first and really encourage you in that direction? Or should I go through my little details of life and then I can
1:00.6	get to the devotion? Well, I think maybe I'll go through my fun little details of life. It's funny
1:06.4	because I've realized that from time to time, people think that our family was more perfect than we
1:13.3	were. Now, we are a fun family. We are a great family, but we are highly opinionated. Everybody
1:20.7	has a different personality, and we discuss things loudly, sort of family. But i just i just want to assure you that we are
1:31.1	very normal people and we had to wash dishes every day in grocery shop and wash clothes and
1:38.6	clean up the house and all the things but anyway i was going to tell you, the reason I said that is because I think

2:19.3	And then there's Joy, and she was my caboose.
2:21.3	I had three children, three miscarriages, and then I had Joy.
2:25.3	And Joy is a teacher slash professor in London at King's College.
2:37.4	So all that to say, we talked about ideals all the time.
2:44.1	We talked about possibilities and faith and how are you going to write your story
2:48.7	and you've got so much to affirm people with.
2:51.5	I'm so glad for the person that you are and so and so and so forth.
2:55.4	Well, anyway, when I look back in my life and I'm going to give you the devotion really quickly,
3:02.1	when I look back in my life, I realize that I have been such an idealist my whole life.
