00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.920
Hello, good morning. My name is Susan Chapp. I'm a biblical counselor and relationship

2
00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:19.280
readiness coach for single ladies. And I am joining the rest intensive. Here I am. I'm

3
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:27.720
from Georgia. Excuse me. I am married. I have a son and a stepson. They're both in middle

4
00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:35.840
school. And it's, it's been very interesting. The last couple months trying to homeschool

5
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:45.080
them here during this time. I just really very quickly remind you of how much you forget

6
00:00:45.080 --> 00:00:55.560
what you get out of school. So I met Ashley maybe a year ago. I don't even remember exactly

7
00:00:55.560 --> 00:01:01.080
how we connected, but I immediately knew there was something different about her and I wanted

8
00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:11.880
to, to be in her space. So just over the last, I don't even know that it's been a year actually,

9
00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:20.080
but in getting to know her, I was very excited to hear about this program that she's now

10
00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:29.000
doing as a group and being in community with other women who are all, I don't want to say

11
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:36.760
working together, but I guess learning new terminology during this as well, because we're

12
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:45.720
not talking about doing things or learning things or trying, working, doing, learning,

13
00:01:45.720 --> 00:01:53.560
right? All those adjectives that we would normally use are things we're trying, trying to not do.

14
00:01:53.560 --> 00:02:05.200
So I'm really excited to get into this. And I actually, I already watched the first, the first

15
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:20.600
video and there's just so much, there's so much. I, I've watched it twice now and constantly

16
00:02:20.600 --> 00:02:27.720
stopping and pausing and trying to like get my mind around things that she's saying and writing

17
00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:35.760
things down. And like, there's just so much in it. I know that this is going to be such a time

18
00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:43.920
of growth for me. And I really wanted to do this because not just because I already knew her and

19
00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:55.160
knew that it would be beneficial, but because I've been in this place the last, I don't know,

20
00:02:55.160 --> 00:03:05.840
probably six months of feeling really stuck and not knowing what to do. And growing up in church,

21
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:18.200
I've read the Bible so much that it's so easy to read something and just, you know, just read it

22
00:03:18.200 --> 00:03:28.320
and not take it in, not understand it, not get the full meaning of what God's trying to tell me.

23
00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:35.280
So I knew, I knew I needed something different and I didn't know what it was. So when I read

24
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:45.360
the description of what this was about, I was like, okay, maybe that's it because I've, I'm doing

25
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:53.760
everything I know to do right now and nothing's working. So there's got to be something different.

26
00:03:53.760 --> 00:04:00.680
There's got to be a different way of doing things and being in my business, working with single

27
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:07.120
women and, you know, giving them this message of, you really have to live out of your identity in

28
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:15.240
Christ first before you go into marriage. And, um, I've even interviewed Ashley in my group about

29
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:23.840
what that looks like. And, um, one of the things that she said was that she feels like she's already

30
00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:35.560
married, even though she's not physically married. Um, and, and I can see just in, just in watching

31
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:47.360
that first video, that made so much more sense to me, um, of what she meant after just looking at

32
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:55.680
the Ezekiel passage. I haven't even looked at the other ones yet, but just that one has, has already

33
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.960
shifted my perspective of how God feels about me. And.

34
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:09.680
um i know that i need to see him as my husband and i'm realizing in the past week or so i've

35
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:20.160
i've realized how much i really do um look to my husband to fulfill things that he cannot feel

36
00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:31.200
and so already like i said just in that one video and that one passage from musicio i'm seeing

37
00:05:31.760 --> 00:05:36.320
i've already felt a shift and i've already seen in doing that exercise

38
00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:44.720
it's interesting how when she says to picture looking at jesus

39
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:52.160
as you know looking him in the eye my mind immediately went to my wedding day

40
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.160
and it was jesus there instead of my husband

41
00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:12.320
so i'm already already shifting already seeing things differently and um learning that

42
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:20.400
i've only scratched the surface of god's love for me and i cannot wait to just

43
00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:26.480
dive in and i'm gonna try my best do my best to not

44
00:06:29.200 --> 00:06:37.040
try to consume it all so quickly i really want to sit in this and and just do one video a day

45
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:42.960
or maybe not even every day moving through something i really want to take my time with

46
00:06:42.960 --> 00:06:48.480
this i'm so much the perfectionist and i'm like check the box check the box do the next thing do

47
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:58.960
the next thing um so already getting so much out of the one video i'm my brain is already saying

48
00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:04.000
do the next one do the next one and i'm having to stop myself and slow down and say no

49
00:07:04.320 --> 00:07:11.840
take this in take this in and um

50
00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:21.200
so i'm gonna meditate on this in this one video just for today and i may do one tomorrow and it

51
00:07:21.200 --> 00:07:30.320
may not and that's okay i'm gonna restrain myself it's okay to not i don't want to i don't want to

52
00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:34.080
miss anything i don't want to rush through this i really want this

53
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:37.360
to be um

54
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:46.800
a life-changing thing and i know it will be because god is in it and he doesn't ever leave

55
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:56.720
us the same so um my intro video has turned into something totally different i wasn't expecting but

56
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:03.040
y'all will see that with me um i'm just

57
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:16.080
gonna give give to this process and allow it to happen and um i can't wait to do this with you

58
00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:22.400
and learn more about everybody i've gone back through and searched through um finding intro

59
00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:30.720
videos and um so i'm really looking forward to just doing this in community

60
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:38.480
um because that's another reason i wanted to do it i've been feeling really disconnected

61
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:47.680
um especially not being able to go to church i'm realizing i wasn't as close with people as i

62
00:08:47.680 --> 00:08:55.520
thought and we haven't stayed connected in other ways now that we haven't been at church so um

63
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:05.360
i really want to connect um not just with god but with y'all as well and make new friends and so um

64
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:14.400
yeah just really looking forward to this experience and um i don't even remember

65
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:16.400
what i told you about me

66
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:27.920
um at this point so yes i'm in georgia i'm married i have a son and a stepson

67
00:09:29.280 --> 00:09:40.880
