Episode Highlights
09:43 - I truly believe that God orchestrates things at every moment in life and sometimes we will never understand why, and sometimes we understand why.
15:19 - Putting all the pieces together with her testimony it was like there`s no way she could make up this kind of stuff, because that's what people always like to say "Oh they are lying".
24:42 - I knew that I needed to be supported in order to be able to support my kids, the analogy of, "you put your mask on first before you put somebody else's mask".
29:40 - My faith has been my foundation, like even going through the stuff with my daughter's dad and then just life in general, like God is my rock and I continually lean to that.
