Today on The Girl Defined Show, we are talking about what it looks like to fully trust God

when your life takes a drastically unexpected turn. I remember for both Bethany and me the first time

away, it's hard to know when and how to talk about it and when to bring it up. Because if you get

too much detail, then you start crying and you're like, I don't just want to be crying all the time.

So it's it's hard. And if you're someone who has had someone close to you pass away, I'm sure you
