0:00.0	What the Lord I think wants us to understand is if we want stability in our life
0:10.0	we have to have that coming from him and where I wrestled so deeply is I know God is good but like I said before I would get confused why aren't you being good to me in this? And so I would make all these
0:24.0	suggestions to God. God here's what I think a good God should do. You like do this and
0:29.8	do that and do this and do that. The problem is that I can't possibly know what a good
0:38.0	God should do and so what I have to do is I have to remember God is good and God is good at being God.
0:46.0	God's plans may be different than mine, but different doesn't mean that they're bad.

1:32.0	isolated. I don't know that that is healthy
1:35.3	spiritually or emotionally. And that's part of the battle we have in a bigger context for us to be
1:41.7	wired for a relationship. What do we do? It means we're probably going to be wounded.
1:46.0	Things will shatter our lives, but it is part of the process and then how do we learn from that how do we pick up those pieces
1:54.3	and keep moving forward I'm looking forward to our discussion today with a great
1:58.1	guest yeah yeah Lisa turkhurst knows all too well the painful journey through broken trust and she's going to share her story
2:05.0	and what she's learned on that path to healing.
