Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast. I believe God has

amazing things in your future. I hope you enjoy this message.

We encourage us today about remembering, remembering the good, remembering the things that are

helpful to us. You see, so many times in life, there's negative things that happen to us. Maybe a
