Main Takeaways

· From Amy, “Remember what God does, have faith to follow him, and then stay out of his way. And literally stand still and watch what he does, because he is such a good God. And he really, he really does do great things.”

· From Wendi, “God is very aware of you and that your faith does matter. And that you may not see the complete picture of what's happening in your life, but God does. He sees the picture. He sees the direction he knows what's going to what's going to bless you and help you. And if you just put your trust in Him, He will take that basket, whatever offering you give whatever you're giving with your heart, your full heart, he will take it and he will multiply it and bless it to be in your favor..”

· From Tamara, “She literally followed her impressions to put him in the ark, and to build it the way it needs to be built and then entrusted him as he flowed down the river that God would provide would provide the best solution for her son. And, as a mother of now, all adults, that is the point-- I'm at is trusting that God will provide for my children as I send them down the river. It is an act of faith, right? Just that, okay, you've got them for good or bad. You've got them. My influence now is more touch points and love and encouragement and stuff like that. But it is trusting God with those we love for good or ill.”
