And even if you have ran away from God, like he's still always right there waiting for us to just come back to him. Always. You have to trust that. And the only way that you can trust that and have a true relationship with God is by knowing his word. Right. If we want to have a relationship together as friends, we have to get to know each other. God is no different.

God is saying, I want you to have a relationship with me. But in order for us to have this relationship, you have to know my word because my word speaks to my character and my promises. And once we know his character and his promises, we can stand on that. And his word does not lie. And I'm a living, willing testimony that what God says in his word will come to pass.

And we can hold God accountable to his word. And that has been what has manifested in my life.

Oh, absolutely not. No. Like, we bump heads. Yeah, and we bump heads quite a bit. But, you know, it's at the end of the day, like, we see the big picture. I think it's normal to have conflict.

And I teach my kids that. And sometimes we may bump heads in front of our kids because I want them to see the back and forth bickering. But I also want them to see how do you solve conflict? That's good. Because life is not the absence of conflict. It's how you respond to it. Yes.

And so that's what we focus on because we know that we're not gonna always agree and we know that conflict can be healthy and it's how you work through it. So because we are aligned with the big picture, we're aligned with our vision, our goals, we're aligned with our legacy that we want to leave for our family.

So because we are aligned with the big picture, we're aligned with our vision, our goals, we're aligned with our legacy that we want to leave for our family.
And we realize that no matter what we argue over or bicker about, it's not even important. When you look at the big picture, is it worth messing up what we've built, what we've created, the legacy that we're leaving. And nine times out of 10, it's really not. It's so minor. It's so minute.

And, um, but we do understand that we have to have our own individual lives outside of being a wife and a husband. And that's important for us. So like, you know, I am a mom, a CEO, a wife, but I have to have my girl, girlfriend time. You do that.

Because you need your girlfriends. You need your support group that you can share things that you can't necessarily share with your husband. My husband can't relate on female things. So you have to have the balance of your friends, your inner circle. And he has to have that for himself. He can go on golf trips. I can go on my girl trips because when we come back, you want to miss each other.

I think that's important for you all to miss each other. Yes. And even when we worked in the warehouse in the office, his office, we intentionally made his office way on the opposite side of the warehouse and mine was over here. And that was because we work together, but I don't have to see you all day. Like I still want to miss you.
