Introduction | How we know each other 4:15 Faith muscle that grows during struggles 4:48 if you’re not in a storm yet, you’ll be heading into another one or coming out of one. 5:10  Above the Turbulence: Your Ticket out of Pain to Purpose 6:06 Fly higher and you’ll be able to weather the storm 6:40 Gain perspective and look down on your earth’s circumstances 7:11 The eagle flies directly into storms and spreads his wings out and does nothing. The currents of the wind helps them rise up. They have the best predator eyesight too. They also sit and for 40 days and 40 nights like Jesus 8:30 The phrase "mount up with wings like eagles" appears in Isaiah 40:31 of the Bible, which reads, "Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint". 9:12 Be careful what you allow in your mind.  9:42 Travel agent metaphors 10:42 Carolyn’s self-deprecating journey that lead to this book. 11:42 She asked herself, how did Jesus teach a lesson, through stories. 12:05 Head knowledge vs. applying that knowledge. 12:40 spiraling into the what ifs solutions in her book 13:00 Faith is an action word. 13:17 Turn off your thoughts if they are not productive 13:32 Be the air traffic controller of your mind 13:53 Change the channel 14:35 Messages when her mom was in the hospital. She leaned on: • Proverbs 3:4: "Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man"."Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding". "In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight". 15:15 Get in a rhythm with God 16:45 I am the god of order. Do not worry. 18:29 BeLIEve - Lie is inside of BELIEVE 19:15: The power is in our choices 20:20 Also marriage isn’t perfect. It’s two broken people coming together so buckle up 21:30 Prince of this World -  John 14: 1-6 “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going.” and Corin 2:4 The enemy actively participates in blinding the minds of those who don't believe in Jesus, to keep them from coming to faith in Christ. His purpose is to keep them from seeing the light.  23:45 In the Beginning Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 25:30 God had a plan of redemption and He wants to be loved by us. 26:34 In your pain-Rom 8:28 "And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose" 27:21 No plane has crashed in turbulence 28:21 Not a citizen of earth.  Phil 3:20 But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives.

The thief realized that his sin had to be punished. 19:10 Take off the do not disturb sign 19:25 2 Corinthians 12:9: But he said to me, j“My grace is sufficient for you, for kmy power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that lthe power of Christ may rest upon me. 19:40 For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). 20:00 prayer 22:59 come as you are.
