Navigating in the Storm, Part 1
Brody had everything planned out. Julie was moving quickly up the career ladder. When they met, they knew what they wanted from a marriage and knew how to get there. But with three children and a startup ground-breaking venture, it all started to come apart. Facing financial disaster, God was their only help.
The mind of a person plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. – Proverbs 16:9
You will hear:
I didn’t need God and neither did anyone else. The only people that did were weak. – Julie
Bought a practice and started another practice. All of sudden things weren’t on track. – Brody
The great plans started to unravel. – Julie
Lord, where are you in this? – Julie
I was afraid we would lose everything. – Julie
We’ve gotta survive and get through this. – Brody
All the Different things we had going were all crashing around us. – Julie
I think the hardest part was not knowing the answer, when you were a person who always kind of had a plan, had an answer. – Brody
I’m definitely a planner. What’s the long plan? What’s the long game? What are the steps that need to happen. – Brody
Everything we had planned for 6 or 7 years were on track and then all of a sudden they weren’t on track. – Brody
How are you going to deal with this? Are you going to bail out? Are you going to quit? – Brody
God impressed upon me that my role was to pray and support Brody. – Julie
I went into a very survivalist type mode. – Brody
I had to go 18 months without taking any money home. So we had to survive. – Brody
I had to share that I didn’t know. I think the hardest part was not knowing the answer, when you were a person who always kind of had a plan, had an answer. – Brody
I think the hardest part was admitting that to her. And thinking I let her down. But her saying that I didn’t let her down. Thinking I was a failure. I was failing her and the family. She didn’t ever accept that. It is not like she said, no you are not, she tried to banish that from my mind. – Brody
We were going through a lot of stuff with the family and with my dad as well. – Brody
Everywhere we looked it seemed to be chaos. It was about 7 years of turmoil. That included family illness, death… Everything seemed heavy. – Julie
