0:00.0 | Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast. I believe God has amazing |
0:06.0 | things in your future. I hope you enjoy this message. |
0:17.1 | I'll never forget one Saturday afternoon when I was 16 years old. I walked in the kitchen and my |
0:23.5 | father was grilling hamburgers at Saturday afternoon. I was like, yeah, I'm hungry, Dad. He said, |
0:30.4 | great. He said, can you run to the store for me and pick up a few little items? I just need some |
0:34.9 | mustard, some pickles, just a couple little items. I said, absolutely. I mean, I was 16 years |
0:41.2 | old just waiting to get behind the wheel. Any excuse to drive and I was right there. So he went to |
0:47.5 | give me his keys. And as he was giving me the keys, he said, now look, Victoria, he said, I want |
0:52.5 | you to go straight to the grocery store. I want you to come straight back. And don't open the |
0:57.6 | passenger side window. Don't roll it down because it's off the tracks. And he said, I have to get it |

1:39.1 | I thought she said the window was broken. I said, it's okay. It'll be fine this time. This one |
1:44.6 | time won't hurt anything. So she rolls the window down and we talk to our friends and I'll never |
1:50.0 | forget as I was driving. She was rolling that window back up and it was as if time stood still. |
1:58.6 | That window shattered in one million pieces. I looked at that window. I couldn't believe it. |
2:08.2 | Millions of pieces. I looked at my girlfriend. I said, you're going home with me. |
2:13.7 | Listen, I'll never forget driving that car home thinking, what am I going to tell my father? |
