It’s 90 miles an hour and then you slam into a brick wall and the transmission falls out. It is a very sudden stop.” —Mary Marantz  “Wisdom finally gets a chance to take root because you’re just too tired to have these tightly gripped fists anymore.” —Mary Marantz  “I’ve had to learn that lesson over and over again of just how quickly I wilt and wither when I’m not abiding, when I’m not tethered to the vine, when I am just a branch trying to grow fruit on my own. How quickly I struggle in the drought, how quickly I stop bearing fruit when I’m away from the water.” —Mary Marantz  Verses:  Jeremiah 17:8  John 15:1-17  Related Episodes:  GHH Ep 2 – The Beauty of Broken with Elisa Morgan: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/beauty-of-broken/ GHH Ep 69 – Finding Inner Peace with Kay Wills Wyma: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/finding-inner-peace/ GHH Ep 169 – Learning to Surrender with Tara Sun: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/learning-to-surrender/ Links:  Mary Marantz’s Website: https://marymarantz.com/ God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191  Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM
