And 104 00:05:30,910 --> 00:05:33,940 Speaker 2: what that demonstrates to those who have the Christian faith 105 00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:35,859 Speaker 2: is that there's a lack of faith, 106 00:05:37,250 --> 00:05:40,328 Speaker 2: there's a lack of faith and understanding that what's for 107 00:05:40,339 --> 00:05:43,470 Speaker 2: me is for me, understanding that he has me no 108 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,579 Speaker 2: matter what understanding that he will provide.

I praise God for having a mother that taught 119 00:06:15,690 --> 00:06:18,779 Speaker 2: me that God got me. And sometimes I get confused 120 00:06:18,790 --> 00:06:21,619 Speaker 2: sometimes I wonder, well, is it up to this job? 121 00:06:21,630 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: Is it up to this contract?
