Speaker 2:

Highlight of the week or the day. You want me to go first. I mean, i can't. I'm trying to think of one too. A highlight, mm-hmm.

Speaker 1:

Highlight is we finished the Twilight series. Now we're on.

Speaker 2:

We watch movies every Sunday nights with friends And that was our. With Frams. That's true, they are Frams, yep, and we just went through the Twilight series. I love those movies. And now that's my praise report.

Speaker 2:

Yes, it's so funny, yeah, whatever.

Speaker 1:

It's so good.

Speaker 2:

It was Father's Day yesterday. That's a highlight.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, my family forgot, so that's pretty cool.

Speaker 2:

It's not even true.

Speaker 1:

Sorry, I what an immediate family forgot.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

My mom texts me, my uncle Jordan texts me, who else I can't remember?

Speaker 2:

Well Draven, got you something in the week from school.

Speaker 1:

No, totally. Yep, My wife forgot Okay.

Speaker 2:

I was busy getting ready to go to work in the morning.

Speaker 1:

Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

And then I did text you After I said Yes, you're going to wish me happy. Yes, but then I texted you next week. Could you imagine? I don't think I'd care as much as you think.

Speaker 1:

Oh my goodness, i can't, even.

Speaker 2:

You got spoiled yesterday, you're okay.

Speaker 1:

Yesterday.

Speaker 2:

Yesterday was Father's Day.

Speaker 1:

What was my spoiling?

Speaker 2:

That's not going to.

Speaker 1:

I just need to know I'm drawing a blank.

Speaker 2:

You were well loved and taken care of. You got beef jerky and root beer from church.

Speaker 1:

That's true. I got beef jerky, i didn't take a root beer.

Speaker 2:

You didn't.

Speaker 1:

Well, I took one, but they gave it to your mom. No sugar.

Speaker 2:

And then Technically, i got you stuff for, like your birthday and I said it was for Father's Day as well, and we went to Anthony's on Friday. Again, that was a graduation. You can count it as a Father's Day.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it wasn't, we went to.

Speaker 2:

Also, we went with our kids and it was a lot less relaxing.

Speaker 1:

We went Costco shopping on Wednesday, so you could probably count that, as Father's Day, count your groceries as a blessing.

Speaker 2:

Just kidding.

Speaker 1:

You got yourself a Slurpee that one day, so you could probably count that towards your Father's Day.

Speaker 2:

Oh, thanks so much, hey, i bless you a lot.

Speaker 1:

Yes, of course, just not on that day.

Speaker 2:

Maybe not particularly yesterday. Sure, anyways, i still take care of you and your household.

Speaker 1:

Yep, whatever.

Speaker 2:

So I guess that was my highlight.

Speaker 1:

Missing Father's Day.

Speaker 2:

Let's just leave it alone. Tonight's topic is or today's topic? depending on when you listen to it is trusting God in the unknown. And there's no shout outs tonight because nobody asked.

Speaker 2:

Praise God. Should we have plans in our life?

Speaker 1:

Should we have plans in our life?

Speaker 2:

Yep. Is it good to plan?

Speaker 1:

Yes, Or is it?

Speaker 2:

better to fly by the seat of your pants.

Speaker 1:

YOLO. I think sometimes it could be fun to have no plans and just see what happens. But then other times it's like, oh, I should have had a plan.

Speaker 2:

I think it's nice to have plans, so you have some sort of forum. I think it's good format to go off of. But if it goes not that way, it's okay as well.

Speaker 1:

I think if you're going for a one day holiday down to like Banff or whatever, you don't need a plan. Just go have it fun. Your finances you should probably have a plan, Maybe. Yeah, Happy holiday.

Speaker 2:

Yes, anyways, yeah, but it's true, if you don't plan for anything in your life, you don't get anything done. And it's not that you need to sit down and have this huge itinerary of spreadsheets and charts and everything of this is what has to happen, or whatever. But like to be successful, you need to prepare for things.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

And I feel like we're still learning that too. Like especially with the season of our life, it's very hard to plan.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

It's very hard to plan with what our schedules are right now and the kids and everything. It's just a lot.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, can't plan kids.

Speaker 2:

You can a little bit.

Speaker 1:

How No, please? Maybe there's somebody out there that doesn't know.

Speaker 2:

You can plan to have kids. I think that's self-explanatory. I mean, you can't plan kids, it's like hey let's go out for dinner, and then all of a sudden they lose their mind. Well, they plan for that. I think you more meant predict how they're going to be. No, plan them Yes, because, like I said, anthony's, this time around, we first time we went was a date. The two of us, nice and chill, didn't have to eat our food in bad anxiety.

Speaker 1:

Anxiety eating.

Speaker 2:

Like, okay, we don't have bad kids. They were very well behaved, they were just very hungry for the pizza.

Speaker 1:

I think they behaved as well as they could have.

Speaker 2:

But yeah. So the three of them were just. they were a little bit much.

Speaker 1:

More so Zara. Zara is a loose cannon. You don't know where she's going, or sorry, am I not supposed to use her name Mara?

Speaker 2:

You're excited. Somebody oh, he's in.

Speaker 1:

He's in there, not his name.

Speaker 2:

Anyway.

Speaker 1:

Mara Mara. No, it was fine Lord of the Rings. Oh my goodness.

Speaker 2:

We were eating a little bit more anxiety filled and I, honestly, the bruschetta, i feel like I inhaled it because I just You did.

Speaker 1:

I didn't get any.

Speaker 2:

That's not true. What does it mean to be a Christian?

Speaker 1:

You accept Jesus into your heart.

Speaker 2:

Okay, and trust God with your life plans.

Speaker 1:

What does it mean to be a Christian and trust God? with your life plans, go ahead, zara.

Speaker 2:

Well, I accepted the Lord into my heart when I was about eight and you don't reach a certain point in your life, like your age or anything, where you're just like I'm good with God, I know all the things and I've got it, And then you just move on with your life and think that God's going to take care of you. But it's like he does. but you constantly need to be trusting him in every situation, because there's always stuff that comes up that you don't expect or plan for.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

So trusting him with your life, for example, trusting him to find my spouse.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

You know, i one of the coolest things was that the Holy Spirit did actually tell me. I don't remember what, even what age. The Holy Spirit told me I was going to marry a Tyler and I was going to marry a drummer. So I was like that's pretty cool. So I did meet, you know, the handful of Tyler's that weren't it, which is fine, and what met a handful of dollars.

Speaker 1:

They weren't it? They weren't it, but oh well, i meant fine for them Like.

Speaker 2:

I'm obviously very well off, just stop.

Speaker 1:

You're right, you're right, yeah.

Speaker 2:

And yeah, my first boyfriend was actually a drummer, So, but his name wasn't Tyler. What was it? You don't need to say But Kenneth.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but it was just the coolest thing.

Speaker 2:

Cause I wasn't. I was focused in my single years on like just having fun. Having fun with my friends hanging out with people going to clubs No, living your life?

Speaker 1:

No, yeah.

Speaker 2:

No, absolutely saving myself, but trusting that God had the right person at the right time. Of course I had the moments of defeat and like I want to be married, i want to start a life, i want to start having kids, all this kind of stuff And it's just you're either not prepared because that person isn't with you, or the person that God has for you is not ready. He probably wasn't ready?

Speaker 1:

Probably not.

Speaker 2:

Which is fine. We still met when you were 18 and I was 20.

Speaker 1:

18. So It's 11 years ago, i know.

Speaker 2:

Oh my.

Speaker 1:

Grandpa My backwards.

Speaker 2:

Just trusting is like it's very important and it never gets like. okay, it does get easier, but it isn't easy Right.

Speaker 1:

Holy Spirit didn't tell me nothing.

Speaker 2:

You were flying by the seat of your pants.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, i don't remember ever being stressed about finding somebody. I don't remember being stressed or concerned about a plan or anything. I don't remember anything. I don't think I did. I think I just showed up and was like what's up, fam, listen, brav, show me a guffy. And then it was like I don't know. I didn't think about who I was going to marry. I didn't think like nothing, i just didn't think And it was fun. Stop eating your toast. I'm talking to you, i'm here.

Speaker 2:

I'm not going anywhere. Toast eater Tim Hockins is a horse killer.

Speaker 1:

Tim Hockins is a horse killer.

Speaker 2:

How do we alter our plans when the unexpected happens? We've had lots of unexpecteds happen.

Speaker 1:

Yes, what did we do? Well, for example, Once we stopped crying. You're kidding me. You're absolutely kidding me. Just don't touch the mic, I guess.

Speaker 2:

Okay, for example, when we had our first kid, draven don't say his name, you already said it. I've already said it. I know We had to move in to my parents' house at a certain point because the rent that we were paying towards the house it was way too high And the people that were the landlords, they sucked.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

And your job was quite slow at that point.

Speaker 1:

Yep.

Speaker 2:

Construction was and Tyler was the only income. So we had to make really hard decisions, and that's not anything you plan for, no. Unfortunately, a few months later, your dad passed away.

Speaker 1:

Classic.

Speaker 2:

And he was working like Tyler was working for him and with him. And that was our only job.

Speaker 1:

Thanks for thinking of me, dad. Left me without a paddle, took you a freaking boat and went home.

Speaker 2:

So that was unexpected And it was just so overwhelming because we're like, well, what are we going to do? What are you going to do for work? It was just, it was a lot. It was very overwhelming and very overwhelming being like first time parents moved back in with my parents Like it was just, it was all too much And it's not anything that you could have planned for.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

Because obviously when you get married, you plan to be together and you know work towards a house and all this kind of stuff, and that's just not how it went in the first few years. So, true, it was fun, it was awesome. A lot of tears were shed, but a lot of trusting came out of that, just believing that God had something for us that we just couldn't see ourselves.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

And every year we've always thought that something was the one for when Tyler's got jobs. But they never were, And that's it was fine. There was no bridges burned or anything.

Speaker 1:

But Wow, You burn the bridges, You dorsh the bridges I burn every bridge I ever passed or cross. You're tired? Every John's bonds. I'm just drunk. John's bonds.

Speaker 2:

The way that, the way that God kept showing us that he was there for us, was every single year we had a different job for you, but the way you got those jobs God's hand was in it.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

So it was just like you can plan for stuff, because obviously we were planning. We were planning on like you getting a job and us moving out into a different place and all this kind of stuff, and then it's just like God's hand was always. God's hand was always in the works of it.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

And we had to make sacrifices where we didn't always want to, but it was for the benefit of us as a family. So, yeah, you just have to roll the punches and Sometimes I wish God would use both his hands.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he had one hand in there and he's like helping us along and being like, yeah, gotcha. You know if he could have just picked us up with both hands. Yeah, JK, just being serious.

Speaker 2:

How do we know if something is from God or just our feelings of desire? How Yeah? You can only speak from our experience.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I completely rely on you.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so it's said that, like wives are very in tune with the Holy Spirit.

Speaker 1:

Where does it say that?

Speaker 2:

Not in scripture. I didn't say that it was in scripture, it's just on a sub.

Speaker 1:

People have said that.

Speaker 2:

Pastors have said that. Right, and like I'm not, i'm not tooting my own horn or anything Toot toot, but Tyler's mind is preoccupied with, you know, providing with his household. And not that he doesn't have a relationship with God. He does, it's very strong. He prays, he takes care of what he needs to take care of all this kind of stuff, right.

Speaker 2:

But sometimes the men just think of other things rather than just sit and listen where and I'm I'm still bad at it. I'm bad at it too, because I do think of a lot of other things as well. But when I'm intentional about praying and speaking to God and then being like okay, i need your Holy Spirit to like speak to me, show me something, give me something, a scripture or anything like Just give me peace about a situation or clarity about it. He often does Right. Actually, i'd say he always does Yeah. So yeah, it's just between. If you're a married couple, knowing something is from God is when you both have peace about it.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

And if you're a single person and you're talking to people for counsel, wisdom, all this kind of stuff, you need to recognize when people are speaking to you through, like God is speaking to you through them, Right, Because sometimes, sometimes people don't say what you want to hear, but it's actually God being like hey, this is the nudge that you need.

Speaker 1:

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2:

So I don't know it's recognizing. I have another question at the end which kind of goes hand in hand with this How do you trust God if people don't agree with you? Which I would say first of all, who are the people in your circle that you are talking to? Right, because we still have people We like, as, even as a married couple, we still have people Our smirkle, our smirkle.

Speaker 1:

Our smirkle. That's our small circle, our small circle.

Speaker 2:

That's literally what it was.

Speaker 1:

It's a smirkle.

Speaker 2:

Our circle. You know I knew that That's our cat, that's our circle. We are so much more tired than we need to be. Yeah, Smirkle.

Speaker 1:

Isn't there a game called no? isn't there a game stop? Isn't there a game called quirkle?

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

Okay, our circle Go ahead. Thank you.

Speaker 2:

Has gotten very small over the last few years. That's a smirkle. Stop it. Just because you can't rely on so many people for all of your information, like not everybody needs to know everything, right, so you need to be aware of what you're sharing with people and how many people you're sharing it with, and then recognizing when people are actually helping you and keeping it to them, like keeping it confidential, and when people just want information from you to like spread it and gossip about it. Essentially Right, because then you get burned and then you like trust gets broken, all this kind of stuff And you learn and it's it sucks learning those lessons, right, but you do. You either become guarded or and like be smart about it, or you just like get closed off to everybody, which you don't want to be that person.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

Because those walls are hard to break down again. But there is no, there is no secret to knowing when something is from God and when it's just you. But you can't trust your heart, like there is a scripture in the Bible that says you can't rely on what your heart is telling you.

Speaker 1:

Because like hard is deceitful.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, i have something like that. I can't think of what it is. Honestly, we are corrupt, we are sinful. Our nature is defaults to the wrong decision. So we have to actively make sure that our mind is on heavenly things, and that only comes from spending time with God and reading his word and praying and just asking for the things that you need clarity on. So that's what we do Right As a couple. We we pray about things together and discuss it, and if one of us is not at peace about it, it doesn't happen.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

So that's how you can do that, because sometimes your desires are are bigger. Like you see only a little bit of the picture. When God's like, I have something way better than what you think is good. How do we trust God when we've got no confirmation on anything about our future? Full send Yeah, honestly though, full send it.

Speaker 1:

And it's hard to do that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

You would like me to say more. You're saying such great things, though.

Speaker 2:

I know, but you have good things too, right.

Speaker 1:

I would say, just full send it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

I mean what source it could happen.

Speaker 2:

Well, yeah, that's the thing. Us as human beings are like we're scared of the rejection or we're scared of failing, which I can. I can relate to that, Everybody can. There's always the what if of, like what if I do fail, But it's like, well, what if you succeed?

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

So it is God's not going to tell you what your plans are, but he knows the plans Right. So you just have to trust him And it's like okay Jesus, that's cool. Okay Jesus. And sometimes he doesn't tell you or show you things, till last minute Usually.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

So that's fun too. Keeps you on your toes, keeps you not reliant on yourself. Should we trust our timing if the thing we desire is right in front of us? over God's timing? Yeah, it's a stupid question, but it's a real. It's a real question.

Speaker 1:

Um no.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, why.

Speaker 1:

Because God's timing is best? No, why would? why would you go against God's timing? But how would you know if it is God's timing, if it's right there, Well, and that's the thing.

Speaker 2:

It's hard to decipher what's what you want and what is what God wants. But again it goes back to like having peace about it, right, and God's not going to show your we've talked about this before your vision to every single person, right? If the people that you're talking to are constantly giving you all these red flags or they're being like, hey, this isn't okay, or they're not in agreement And it's more than just one person that's saying the same thing, that's a little bit of a red flag, right, where it's like. You think it's amazing, you think it's what you need to do, you're at peace with it, but all the people that you allow to speak into your life don't agree with it. I don't think it's from God.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

And that's a that's a big deal to some people, cause it's like well, i'm just working on it myself, i'm talking to God, i have peace about it. Well, there is such a thing as false peace. And it and it, yeah, okay, and it can lie to you and It can be like yeah, this is great, this is all that you need and it's right in front of you. Go get it. But God's like, no, i Have something better for you. Why don't you just come this way?

Speaker 2:

True yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was I mean. We kind of burned through all those questions. What are red flags versus green flags to watch for? We already talked about colors.

Speaker 1:

Thank you, they're different colors.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, i don't know. I think it's just We never, we never can prepare for what God has for us, because we think we need to be qualified When we do things for him, or like if there's an opportunity, we want to make sure that we're good, but it's like God just wants us to be willing and to show up right. So it's just Trusting without knowing is the hardest thing about being a Christian. I think Persecution is hard. I was gonna say persecution is not great, okay.

Speaker 1:

Have you ever been persecuted, though? No, no.

Speaker 2:

I have not, not to the extent that a lot of other people have experienced.

Speaker 1:

I've been. I've been persecuted. When I went to go to Costco that one time and they oh my gosh. They wouldn't let me go get a hot dog because I didn't have a membership.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that was during COVID times, though Everybody was corrupt.

Speaker 1:

They're still corrupt, but it's just whatever, so I get it. We don't need to get into that You're fine, you got your hot dog.

Speaker 2:

We now have a membership. I get hot dogs anytime I get what the Apostles went through. Oh, no, no, no no.

Speaker 1:

When I get up to heaven, I'll be like guys. No, did you see me?

Speaker 2:

down there. No, no, no no no, no, no Crazy. Yeah, do you have any final thoughts on, or just encouragement for people that are In waiting seasons or having a hard time trusting without knowing, because I like to know things ahead of time. I'm not super big on surprises, but With life and kids you just honestly can't Prepare for it. All you can do is show up and try.

Speaker 1:

Final thoughts is suck it up, keep waiting. No, i mean, sometimes all you can do is wait. Yeah, what else? what else can you do, like sometimes you're forced to wait?

Speaker 2:

Yes, it's forced to wait.

Speaker 1:

We've been forced to wait many, many, many times, many, many times on.

Speaker 2:

It's hard to. It's hard to keep going sometimes when the one thing you're believing for in your life other people around you are Getting right and that could be anything.

Speaker 2:

It could be a house, it could be, it could be anything. It could be a job, a promotion, whatever. But it's like, yeah, not everybody has the same timeline as you, right, and not everybody has the same testimony as you. So I'm sure I've said it before, but the funniest thing to me is when people say you don't know what I'm going through, you don't know my life, and it's like, yeah, i don't, but like I'm never, i'm never going to. That's the thing, because we're never gonna live the same life, right? God created us to be individuals and We go through our own stuff, but the great thing is that we all bond over the same craving of connection and Relating to people in our struggles right, and being there for each other, because he called us to be in companionship with one another right.

Speaker 2:

So it's just like we can relate and bond on that. I don't have to know everything that you're going through or experience everything that you're going through to To have empathy for you or sympathy for you, right? and you don't know what I'm going through either and I might not care.

Speaker 1:

Honestly, though, there's some problems. That it's like.

Speaker 2:

It's like you need to see other people's problems to have some sure recognition of like all my problems are not that bad.

Speaker 1:

But it was like when John Chris said that he's like, i'm not praying for that. Yeah, they just there was yeah, there's some sort of flood coming in. There's them. They just bought a million dollar house on the beach or something like that, and it's like pray for protection over the house. And he's like I'm not praying.

Speaker 2:

He's like.

Speaker 1:

I think he was like what would that prayer even sound like? it's like Lord, send the waters to the poor houses, protect ours.

Speaker 1:

That's just like sometimes people ask, or like And, but the requester like but the thing is too, it's like funny, because the young I feel like, the young you are, i feel like Each problem is like Working out. It's like the more stress is like working out, the more stress you have, the more that you can handle and And so. But it's like when a somebody younger has a stress, something going on, what they consider what they consider a stress. They're feeling the exact same way. Yeah, somebody who would like lose their house totally.

Speaker 2:

It's the exact stress levels the same stress levels the same.

Speaker 1:

It's not the same situation, and that's often why people are like you don't know what I'm going through, yeah, or they look down on somebody because it's like that's not a problem, that's, that's blah, but they're experiencing it. the exact same stress, all our bodies react that way.

Speaker 2:

Yeah it's just we need to learn how to figure out, how to problem solve number one, yeah, and how to be like. Is this something I should be stressing about, because I tell that to our kids all the time? Yeah, you're crying over a napkin. Is this worth crying about? I Don't think so.

Speaker 1:

Well, it just it makes me think of I I don't know why this is in my head right now, but when we were In small, in a small group or something like that, and my dad just died and somebody's prayer was that their dog was sick, now it's just like Okay.

Speaker 2:

I will pass on praying for your.

Speaker 1:

I'm not gonna pray for that. I'm sure little fluffles is gonna pull through. My google is my name, but it's just like no.

Speaker 2:

But yes, you need to have perspective. Everybody goes through stuff. Everybody goes through trauma and stressful situations and dilemmas and All this kind of stuff. So it's like you need to just have some understanding. Ask God to give you compassion, right? You don't need to be loving or sorry, you don't need to know.

Speaker 1:

No, you need to be loving No.

Speaker 2:

You don't need to be friends with every single person in the world, but you need to be loving towards them right. You need to be caring about them because they're people and God made them So it's like you just need to learn and pray for understanding or compassion if you lack that right which I do sometimes. Mm-hmm, you do too. No, yes.

Speaker 1:

And here's the other thing about going through something very tragic Is that if you go through something tragic and you come out on the other side, you got something that you can use against people.

Speaker 2:

I think you use against people is the wrong wording.

Speaker 1:

No, no, I know exactly what I said, because it's like when my dad died. It's just like What it? what a great, horrible thing. Let me put that out there. Horrible, worst day of my life, absolute horrible. But To see people's faces when I bring it up in conversation Hilarious he is healed from it, which is why he can very clearly joke about right and he's in heaven, he's partying it up and whatever, and if he could come back.

Speaker 1:

He won, so screw him. But it's like I Can't even think of a scenario. But there's been so many times. I think the only scenario I could think of is when they was like it was father's day and a bunch of the youth were like outside And they're all talking and I was like, oh, what are you guys doing today? They're like, oh, i'm gonna go have lunch with my dad.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh, yeah, we're gonna go up there with my dad's no, no, it was not here There's a while ago.

Speaker 1:

I think it was like this is father's day yesterday, not this father's day. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

Can I finish?

Speaker 1:

And I was like, oh, that's cool, you guys have dads right on and the look on their faces is just. I'm not. I'm not gonna say it made his death worth it.

Speaker 2:

I'm not gonna say that but he would get a kick out of you. He would think that story, he would constantly or for shock factor or he'd be super offended.

Speaker 1:

It could go, i guess I'll find out when I get to heaven. Yeah, But yeah anyways. Dead dads are classic.

Speaker 2:

On that happy note, happy father's day to all. There's no coming back to it, you've ruined it.

Speaker 1:

Happy father's day to all the live dads up there. Way to pull through and stay alive for your kids. Anyway, if you want to shout out next week, give us a message, just.
