Hey my lilies 🌺
Today’s episode is all about trust—what it really means and where we choose to place it. Some people trust in the universe, others in people, but what happens when we shift that trust to God?

In this episode, I sit down with one of our lilies, Brandye, to talk about why trusting in God is different, why it matters, and how it changes everything. This is just Part 1 of our conversation, and trust me, you don’t want to miss where this is going!

Speaker 1 (00:04):
When we talk about trust, most people think about relationships, family, friends,
or even the universe. Some say, I trust the process
or the universe has my back, But what does that
really mean? Why is it that we often play so
much faith in people who can fail us or in

(00:27):
something as abstract as the universe, yet struggle to develop
a real intimate trust in God. In this episode, we're
diving into what it truly means to trust in God
rather than simply relying on fate or human strength. Will
extore the qualities. We'll explore the qualities of life that

(00:50):
shape our trust and why people are so quick to
give that trust to others, and while overlooking the relationship
that matters to the mind hose Uh, We're gonna take
a moment to reflect on what this is, Who do
we trust and why? This is my interview with the

(01:15):
Lily on that perspective. This is episode thirteen.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Of Ink and Impact with one of our lilies, my
cousin first cousin girls, and we were just chatting a
little bit here on trust. But the key to what
I really want is her perspective for you guys to

(01:52):
see the understanding of what trust is.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
So that's gonna be our first questions.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
So we gotta see, we gotta hear her perspective on
what it is now Brandy a gardener of Lily Lounge.
When you heard the word trust, what does it truly
mean to you? Mm? Trust?

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Trust to me means having the power to lean on
that person, tell that person anything, or.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Be able to.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Go to them.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
It's just like people saying a trusted friend. So I
think trust to me is somebody that is wholeheartedly a
person that holds like all your secrets, or a person
that is able to be your seat.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
You're a keeper, yeah, yeah, angry like you're like your
trunk of secret.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Right yeah, and you can you know you can go
to and it's gonna be shut right Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
On what what do you Why do you think trust
is such.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
A powerful force in human relationships though?

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Because when they trust is broken, it makes you feel
like that person's sign your corner, or it makes you
feel like, you know, was we even even like did
we even have a connection in the first place? Because
once you break that trust is like you really can't

(03:46):
get it back. It's hard to build up trust and
it's hard to get it back after they trust is broken. Yeah,
because after that, it's like, did you even really care
about my feelings before you did what you did before
you which betrayed me? Did you even care the intention
of right? Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
It kind of gives you that feeling of uh, betrayal
versus your trust.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Like you, it makes you It makes.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
It harder to go through life filling with other.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Human relationships because of prior Yeah that was past relationships, right.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah. Do you believe everyone places their trust somewhere even
if they don't realize.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
It, right?

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Because like I was telling you earlier, I think everybody
has something they play they trust in rather that's God
or a higher power that they pray to, or they
put it out in the universe.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
So and a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Will t aks me, hey, do you believe in God? Yes?
I believe in God? Yeah, because I have seen the
things that he has done, you know. And a lot
of people would be like, are you waiting on God? No,
I'm not waiting on go God. I'm praying and I'm
still doing putting action behind it. Yeah, I'm being intentional

(05:06):
about my prayers, saying hey.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
God, I'm coming to you on this.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yes, I'm working on it. You see, I'm working on it.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
That's how I feel like my prayers get pushed through.
I'm not saying that my prayers don't get pushed through.
I'm just saying that you have to put action behind
your prayers.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, or like you.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Said, you're doing action when you put it out.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
In the universe.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
That's a action, right, I'm putting it out in the
universe right, speaking it into existence.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
That's action because you gotta do it.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
You gotta talk correct well, trust in God versus the
universe because you did touch you not to right to us?

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Uh, just even.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Starting So, I do want to say, why do you
personally believe trusting in God is different from trusting in
the universe.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
I believe trusted in God is a proven thing because
you have the Holy Bible, the universe. Haven't put anything
out there to say it exists.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
It cannot respond back.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Right, it cannot respond back to us. We can go
to the Bible and see all the red writing because that's.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
God, that Jesus talking. There's proof out there.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
There's no proof in the universe to say, Okay, it's
just like.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
That move with Chicken little when.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
That things fell out the sky.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, y'all didn't believe chicken little because nothing can fall
out the sky, right, so why are you trusted in
the universe?

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Come on that? But that one right there is a
good a good metaphor or even.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Analogy, because.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
That happened with uh noise arc.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
He said he's gonna ring.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Why he kept saying it for years and everybody like, dude,
what a lady and what may?

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Okay, that's great, So that is that goes back to
Manthey four fourth too, but he says, uh, we don't
live by very long by about everywhere.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
That comes from the malth of God.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Cause even though they did a storyline up to to
the uh, she looked at you crazy, like, who's she
looking at you for? Uh?

Speaker 1 (07:30):
You do the story line up for my Bible?

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Go down an I?

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Uh that's finally cousin. So yeah, we do.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
A story line up for she.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
Can want a wage the car toon, But they don't.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Even realize that they're doing noise arc. Right, every word
comes from the math of God. We're just repeating the
first person that we've ever followed is him Kurt, and
we're continuously tryna go our own way by rebellion. You know,
and it kind of doesn't make any sense why we feelings.
So we're not like repeating his word when we do this,

(08:08):
not the universe run, but his word run.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Many people say that the universe has my back, But
what do you think they're searching for when they say that.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Support? I think, yeah, I think they are looking for support. Yeah,
but like I said, you can't lean on the universe
prove back the universe, I mean the right, and it's
no proven science behind it. Like like I said, you
can't go to it. Everybody can say. Everybody can sit

(08:45):
up he and say, oh, well, i'm't be leaving God
because I can't see him. But he he brought the Bible.
The universe hasn't brought anything. Nothing you can't see, But
what would you still put it out there?

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Exactly? You can't.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
You don't see you breathing, but you're alive, right, you
don't see when, but you see things moving correct exactly.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
And it's not it's like that's God, that's God. That's
who he made you too. With these vans and all
these and like you can heal your b your body.
People don't think that we can't.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
But if you get a scar your body, heals itself.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Correct, who's doing that?

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Who did that? Hate it?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Right?

Speaker 3 (09:35):
But hey, to each his own. If you believe in
the universe, if you wanna keep putting it out there,
that's you.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
That's you.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
But I'm just saying, Brandy, Brandy, believe in God. And
now I'm right and I'm a complete I'm aa c
constantly believe in God. Okay, We're gonna his name absolutely.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
And that's the only way for him to know that
we are ch not I d y you.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
You uh when he say to Judi or Peter when
he didn't know him, you didn't know me, you had the.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Way you didn't know me.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Right, No, I'm not gonna do that.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
M M. I'm not gonna deny him. Mm. We're not
denying you, honey. Or it makes God a more secure
foundation for trust than the universe or faith.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
And we're just really just talking about that too.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Right Else, he gives more death on what he can
give us an actress.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
And who he is, right, he tells you in the
Bible who he is, and he tells you, hey, he's been.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Through all that before.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
If you read the Book of John, he goes through
life and everybody wants him to not do it. Like
some of the disciples was like, you know who God
is your father? Tell him? I telepont Us. It's like, hey,
wait a minute, I wanna go through life. I want
to go through these challenges so I can tell my people.

(11:04):
I've been here before, so I can tell my people, Hey,
whatever you're going through, I have been been there, done that.
And that's what that Bible is about. He's telling you, hey,
I have been there, done that. So in my word,
I'm telling you, I'm giving you a I'm losing my words,

(11:32):
but I'm giving you the blueprint on how life should go.
And that's basically what the Bible is. He's giving you
a blueprint.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah, and even.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Define Well, I ain't gonna go and tell those other
religions because you already know because.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
I was Haradan.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
That's about off the ball.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well we know that's a good that's a good comfort
of comfortational art. Right. A lot of people do argue
that one a lot, but they don't they missed the
fact that that r reference cause that's what it is,
was made after anything he did for uh, cause Moses

(12:16):
was already there. So they're they're he's they're taking prophecies
and just kind of going off of that. That doesn't
really give any insight on what they have already predicted.
If he's already he's already been here prior to you
making this, So who are you proving anything too but
the works of someone else?

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Right?

Speaker 2 (12:38):
He does not.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
There is no book or.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Anything that you can find that doesn't reference the Bible
in its original form prior to another original copy of
that that is the original copy, you know, versus the
ones that have been thousands, thousands, most copyright books, most
most copyright rewrote book of all of all the time

(13:02):
is the Bible?

Speaker 4 (13:02):
So well, Uh, have you ever had a moment when
trusting in God changed an outcome that human logic couldn't explain?
Have I ever had a moment we're trusting in God.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
And the humans couldn't explain it?

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Human logic canning couldn't explain it? Wow?

Speaker 1 (13:37):
That question right there? Have you ever had a moment
where trusting in God changed in outcome that human logic
couldn't explain? That's where we're going to leave it for today. Mkay.
We're just getting started, and there's so much more to
unpack about what trust really means, and why it matters

(13:59):
who you play it in. So make sure you come
back for episode fourteen, where we pick up We're right
here and dive in deeper into the conversation. Stay tuned,
at least s about to get even better.
