WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.660 Hi my name is Kate and I live in Redding, California and I'm super excited to be a 2 00:00:06.660 --> 00:00:12.300 part of this class. I know that Holy Spirit's timing is perfect but it does 3 00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:19.500 feel long overdue. I really enjoyed scrolling through some of the intros and 4 00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:23.700 just so appreciate everyone's authenticity and just willingness to 5 00:00:23.700 --> 00:00:28.260 share where they're at in their journey. I really feel like we're going to dive 6 00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:34.100 in super quick, super fast and just gain a lot of momentum in our lives and that 7 00:00:34.100 --> 00:00:38.220 this is just going to be a new foundation for what we build from here 8 00:00:38.220 --> 00:00:43.680 on out. I sat here for a minute thinking what am I gonna say and it's like okay 9 00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:53.380 this doesn't need to be scripted. I am in desperate need for some rest, some 10 00:00:53.380 --> 00:00:59.660 internal rest and it's something that I want to establish in my life and carry 11 00:00:59.660 --> 00:01:04.700 it with me all the days of my life and it has not been. There have been moments 12 00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:09.180 of that in my life but a majority of it I would say I've lived in fight-or-flight 13 00:01:09.180 --> 00:01:20.420 and I don't know where to begin but I worked in health care for about 15 years 14 00:01:20.460 --> 00:01:26.100 some high intense jobs throughout my life and currently in a very fast-paced 15 00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:35.420 position and about six years ago I was in hospice and palliative care so it was 16 00:01:35.420 --> 00:01:41.140 around a lot of death and dying, lots of people with health challenges. I grew up 17 00:01:41.140 --> 00:01:47.780 my family was in the health care field and then I started experiencing health 18 00:01:47.820 --> 00:01:53.740 problems about 10 years ago and then went on a long journey through the 19 00:01:53.740 --> 00:02:01.660 natural health world and experienced moments of relief and then to get to a 20 00:02:01.660 --> 00:02:05.380 place where I was desperate for breakthrough left everything in in 21 00:02:05.380 --> 00:02:10.460 Orange County California and moved up north to attend ministry school and 22 00:02:10.460 --> 00:02:16.380 again experienced a measure of breakthrough with you know seeking the 23 00:02:16.380 --> 00:02:23.620 supernatural interventions along with again natural interventions and it's 24 00:02:23.620 --> 00:02:26.780 something that I'm super passionate about health care and it's been 25 00:02:26.780 --> 00:02:31.300 something I've wrestled with for a long time and knowing and understanding that 26 00:02:31.300 --> 00:02:36.540 our thought life in our internal world is so reflective of how our physical 27 00:02:36.540 --> 00:02:42.580 health is and knowing that every thought we have manifests in our body and so 28 00:02:42.700 --> 00:02:49.660 when we're in a tightly wound state of anxiety constantly I know that that has 29 00:02:49.660 --> 00:02:55.580 impacted my health so here I am at another fast-paced position and just 30 00:02:55.580 --> 00:03:04.380 really wanting to learn how to maintain a state of rest regardless of what's 31 00:03:04.380 --> 00:03:11.500 going on around me and regardless of the demands that other people or employers 32 00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:15.900 or whatever is happening around us that we can still maintain in a place of rest 33 00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:21.980 so that's what I'm going after and I'm super grateful to have support people 34 00:03:21.980 --> 00:03:26.460 who are going after the same thing Ashley carries so much wisdom I always 35 00:03:26.460 --> 00:03:33.180 want to call her dr. Ashley I mean she's like a doctor in the spirit but I started 36 00:03:33.180 --> 00:03:38.340 listening to some of her content last year and it was incredibly encouraging 37 00:03:38.340 --> 00:03:44.540 and in a way that I had not heard it yet before and so when there was this 38 00:03:44.540 --> 00:03:52.180 opportunity to participate in this rest intensive I knew that now's the time and 39 00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:57.020 there's no need to delay this and even in the midst of a busy schedule all the 40 00:03:57.020 --> 00:04:00.740 things are going through my mind I don't have time I'm like going to miss you 41 00:04:00.740 --> 00:04:05.740 know two classes because I have work events or what am I gonna do and none of 42 00:04:05.740 --> 00:04:11.860 that matters none of it matters if if I'm in a constant state of stress and 43 00:04:11.860 --> 00:04:19.339 anxiety so here we are I've been off of social media for this past year in order 44 00:04:19.339 --> 00:04:26.580 to pursue rest and so I just created a temp account today to hop on and it 45 00:04:26.580 --> 00:04:32.020 won't let me go live because I don't have enough friends so here I am 46 00:04:32.060 --> 00:04:38.660 recording this video and hopefully it'll let me upload it but I don't know what 47 00:04:38.660 --> 00:04:45.060 else there is to say other than I really won't want and need this to be a 48 00:04:45.060 --> 00:04:52.020 priority in my life I need to know how to not just shift into rest but to stay 49 00:04:52.020 --> 00:04:56.460 in in a place of rest and I know it's gonna come through revelation and 50 00:04:56.460 --> 00:04:59.460 renewing of my mind and my understanding and 51 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.000 And yeah, super grateful to be here with you all 52 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.480 and excited for what God is going to do in six weeks. 53 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.820 I just feel that there's an acceleration on this group 54 00:05:10.820 --> 00:05:15.780 and I'm really expectant for what the impartation is. 55 00:05:15.780 --> 00:05:18.880 And I know that the places that Ashley has gone 56 00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:21.020 is has been costly to her 57 00:05:21.020 --> 00:05:24.160 and just super grateful for the wisdom that she carries. 58 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.100 Okay, see you all soon. 59 00:05:26.100 --> 00:05:26.940 Bye.
