1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.100
So now we know, all right, I'm so glad.

2
00:00:02.100 --> 00:00:04.059
Thank you all so much for speaking up.

3
00:00:04.059 --> 00:00:05.700
You felt the same way as me.

4
00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:07.540
That's what I would want in your situation.

5
00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:09.160
Let's all be together.

6
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.380
Okay, so I'm just gonna jump off microphone and video

7
00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:14.420
and y'all just catch up with each other.

8
00:00:14.420 --> 00:00:17.860
And, you know, remember that this is basically a,

9
00:00:17.860 --> 00:00:19.020
basically a journey share.

10
00:00:19.020 --> 00:00:21.180
Remember, you're just keep catching people up on,

11
00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:23.120
hey, you know, this is how I'm feeling.

12
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.740
This is what I'm walking through with me in the Lord.

13
00:00:25.740 --> 00:00:28.740
And, and then you just kind of, you know,

14
00:00:28.740 --> 00:00:30.600
we can ask each other questions like,

15
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:32.720
so why do you think that, you know,

16
00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:34.520
because basically what you're doing

17
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.960
is you're trying to recognize unrest

18
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.120
and how we get into unrest in those situations.

19
00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:45.000
And then how it is that we can,

20
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:46.880
and not really necessarily how we get into

21
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:48.440
those situations of unrest,

22
00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:51.280
but basically recognizing them.

23
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.120
What exactly is going on?

24
00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:54.680
Like, and you work kind of like together,

25
00:00:54.680 --> 00:00:55.920
you just kind of discuss together,

26
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:57.920
throw out ideas like, oh, what do you think about this?

27
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.500
Do you think the reason that you felt that way

28
00:00:59.500 --> 00:01:03.340
is because this happened or, you know, was it,

29
00:01:03.340 --> 00:01:06.260
is it fear that you're actually feeling, you know,

30
00:01:06.260 --> 00:01:09.620
or is it whatever, because remember that this is,

31
00:01:09.620 --> 00:01:13.540
even though we all have our individual experiences of,

32
00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:15.820
and our lives look very unique,

33
00:01:15.820 --> 00:01:18.180
everything that we're dealing with at the root

34
00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:19.660
is the same thing.

35
00:01:19.660 --> 00:01:21.940
We're all dealing with the same spiritual issues.

36
00:01:21.940 --> 00:01:24.540
We're all dealing with fear from fear of God.

37
00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:27.620
We're all dealing with fear of man.

38
00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:29.960
We're all dealing with anxiety.

39
00:01:29.960 --> 00:01:33.120
We're all dealing with wounds from parents

40
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:37.000
or from school teachers or from, you know,

41
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.240
spouses or from, I don't know,

42
00:01:41.240 --> 00:01:43.600
I don't know, anxiety or struggle with children.

43
00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:45.320
I don't know, whatever it is.

44
00:01:45.320 --> 00:01:49.520
And so, but the thing is that we're all facing

45
00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:51.440
the fact that we're insecure,

46
00:01:51.440 --> 00:01:53.180
that we don't feel that we can trust God,

47
00:01:53.180 --> 00:01:55.880
that we tried before and we saw how that went.

48
00:01:55.880 --> 00:01:57.400
And so now we're afraid.

49
00:01:58.060 --> 00:01:58.900
We all don't want to admit it,

50
00:01:58.900 --> 00:02:01.700
but really that's, we're all dealing with the same thing.

51
00:02:01.700 --> 00:02:04.240
We just all have individual situations

52
00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:05.740
that are triggering it.

53
00:02:05.740 --> 00:02:09.020
And sometimes because the situations look so unique,

54
00:02:09.020 --> 00:02:12.740
we have a difficult time discovering

55
00:02:12.740 --> 00:02:15.980
and finding the common root of it.

56
00:02:15.980 --> 00:02:20.900
So anyway, we can all, we're all in the same position.

57
00:02:20.900 --> 00:02:25.180
We're just all expressing our various unique triggers.

58
00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:27.960
And then we, and then together, you know,

59
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:29.920
y'all just talk about, okay, well,

60
00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:33.040
how would we shift out of rest

61
00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:35.920
when we're feeling fear of the Lord,

62
00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:38.320
when we are struggling to feel safe with Him,

63
00:02:38.320 --> 00:02:42.200
if we don't feel His love and we don't, you know,

64
00:02:42.200 --> 00:02:44.720
how, what is it that we could do

65
00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:46.360
to try to develop that intimacy?

66
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.260
You know, that kind of a thing.

67
00:02:48.260 --> 00:02:49.760
So, all right.

68
00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:52.760
Well, I hope that y'all have a good time,

69
00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:54.120
you know, catching up

70
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.580
and y'all just decide who gets to start.

71
00:02:57.420 --> 00:03:00.420
If y'all can't decide, start alphabetically by first name.

72
00:03:15.420 --> 00:03:17.140
Hey guys.

73
00:03:17.140 --> 00:03:20.140
Hi, putting on my headphones so I can hear my work.

74
00:03:20.140 --> 00:03:24.060
I work from home and I'm putting on my work headphones.

75
00:03:24.880 --> 00:03:25.720
I really like them.

76
00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:27.760
They're really, I can hear very well, so.

77
00:03:30.320 --> 00:03:32.480
Well, I'm on my computer rather than my phone tonight

78
00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:34.400
so I can hear a little better, so.

79
00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:45.360
Well, Diana, you started talking about your headphones.

80
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.360
I thought you were going to transition it to earphones.

81
00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:52.640
She does start with a D,

82
00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:54.540
so she'd have to go first anyway.

83
00:03:54.540 --> 00:03:56.640
Yeah, we're starting alphabetical order.

84
00:03:58.380 --> 00:03:59.940
Okay, I'll share.

85
00:03:59.940 --> 00:04:01.500
I haven't really done my journey, sure,

86
00:04:01.500 --> 00:04:04.220
because it's been a hard week and I had to,

87
00:04:04.220 --> 00:04:06.740
I saw this meme on Facebook.

88
00:04:06.740 --> 00:04:09.500
It said, it's been a long week

89
00:04:09.500 --> 00:04:11.660
and it's just only Tuesday, right?

90
00:04:11.660 --> 00:04:15.460
It feels like we should be further along in the week.

91
00:04:15.460 --> 00:04:18.420
And, but I'm trying to think,

92
00:04:18.420 --> 00:04:22.620
I've been just listening to some of her videos

93
00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:26.800
and I'm trying to really shift

94
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.800
into more intimate relationship with God, right?

95
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.440
Which is what this is to me all about, right?

96
00:04:34.440 --> 00:04:37.000
Which is what I think we all desire

97
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.520
is to get closer to him and have a, to really know him.

98
00:04:40.520 --> 00:04:41.840
And so that's my desire.

99
00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:43.040
And I've just been like, God,

100
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.360
I'm trying to shut out distractions

101
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.920
and not people per se, not responsibilities

102
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.920
and all of that, but yeah, just try to stay focused.

103
00:04:55.580 --> 00:04:58.700
And I'm thinking to myself, okay, so this is six weeks

104
00:04:58.700 --> 00:05:00.600
and of course I don't want this just.

105
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.240
to be six weeks, but, you know, if I'm not doing it now, when,

106
00:05:03.260 --> 00:05:06.240
you know, it's like, that's the reason I signed up. It's

107
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:11.240
because I wanted something to shift in my life, I wanted a

108
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.700
breakthrough, I wanted, I want to get closer to God, I went and

109
00:05:14.700 --> 00:05:19.200
so trying to not trying to do or strive or doing all that,

110
00:05:19.200 --> 00:05:22.560
because that's what I'm trying to get out of. But trying to

111
00:05:24.200 --> 00:05:28.360
just spend time with God, like last night, I watched her video

112
00:05:29.080 --> 00:05:36.320
about where she talks about the the those releasing exercises

113
00:05:36.320 --> 00:05:39.240
where you put on the instrumental music, and that was

114
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:45.880
so good, because I needed it, where you go into that the data,

115
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:51.480
you know, and you so I did that last night, and I just felt real

116
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.880
at peace. And I did it right before I went to sleep. And so,

117
00:05:55.480 --> 00:06:00.680
you know, just trying to not give God not feeling pressured,

118
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.720
or because sometimes I would feel guilty of Oh, God, I didn't

119
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:08.520
spend time with you today, or I'm not giving you the first

120
00:06:08.520 --> 00:06:12.840
hour of the day, or I'm not, you know, doing what I should and

121
00:06:12.840 --> 00:06:17.200
all that. Shouldn't shouldn't, like says, shouldn't shouldn't

122
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.120
and, and I don't want to get into that legalism, I want to be

123
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:25.880
free from all of that. But at the same time, I want to not

124
00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:29.920
draw closer. So how do I do that? How do I get out of the

125
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:36.120
religious monotony, but yet, you know, stay, you know, draw

126
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.840
closer to him. So that's, it's not really a struggle. It's a

127
00:06:40.840 --> 00:06:44.680
joy because I've been thinking about it today. And, and it's,

128
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:49.320
it's, it's a joy really to to know him and to experience him.

129
00:06:49.320 --> 00:06:56.720
And so that's, so that's, that's what I've been doing. I

130
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:01.280
don't know. That's just what I've been thinking about today

131
00:07:01.280 --> 00:07:05.640
and focusing on and trying to not make it about the

132
00:07:05.640 --> 00:07:10.520
shouldn't shouldn't but make it about God. And, and so it's

133
00:07:10.520 --> 00:07:14.800
kind of hard when when you've been in church and for a long

134
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:20.920
time and you like I'm talking about me when I I just

135
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:24.160
automatically revert to okay, I'm gonna pray and I know I'm

136
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.840
gonna fast and I'm gonna read my Bible and it's just like, those

137
00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:34.120
are all good things, like she said, but not do it. Like, like

138
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:39.480
a out of obligation or just because I do a checkmark

139
00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:43.760
checkmark checkmark, you know, so that's that's been a struggle

140
00:07:43.760 --> 00:07:52.560
for me. So thank you for sharing. That was 10 minutes.

141
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:00.840
That's good. That was good. Thank you.

142
00:08:03.400 --> 00:08:03.960
Next.

143
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:14.400
Oops.

144
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:21.360
I mean, can I ask, I know you asked Ashley earlier about

145
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:26.480
breathing and getting into that calm theta, like you're, I guess

146
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.960
getting practice and being successful. Is that kind of what

147
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:31.440
you said when you

148
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:38.760
me? Yeah, yeah. Yes, I was just because I have such a stressful

149
00:08:38.760 --> 00:08:43.520
job. You know, I deal with customers all day. And the

150
00:08:43.520 --> 00:08:46.960
elderly, I work with people with Medicare. And I don't know if

151
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:52.280
you know, but they're like over 65. And mostly, mostly over 65.

152
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.240
And so I, my job requires a lot of patience and a lot of

153
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:03.280
compassion. And so I, it's hard sometimes, you know, because

154
00:09:03.280 --> 00:09:06.920
they get upset and like that, but it's stressful. And so at

155
00:09:06.920 --> 00:09:11.880
the end of the day, I want to be able to just kind of relax

156
00:09:11.880 --> 00:09:18.320
and, and go into that, that she talks about. And I'm telling

157
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.280
you, I listened to that video. And that song she played, I

158
00:09:22.280 --> 00:09:25.560
have to I have to ask what song is that in the video, but

159
00:09:25.640 --> 00:09:30.360
immediately, I was just like, just feeling that just such a

160
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.080
peace came over me. I was like, I don't know, it's just not the

161
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.880
song, but that the music was so relaxing. It was just so good.

162
00:09:37.920 --> 00:09:43.400
Yeah. I think I'm gonna make it I'm gonna try to do that. You

163
00:09:43.400 --> 00:09:47.000
know, at the end of the, you know, the day just, you know,

164
00:09:47.560 --> 00:09:48.000
sleep.

165
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.520
I think I need one of those video or you know, the that

166
00:09:52.520 --> 00:09:54.040
soundtrack or whatever, too.

167
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:55.600
Yeah, yeah.

168
00:09:59.040 --> 00:09:59.560
Well,

169
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.000
Do you want me to go?

170
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:06.000
Okay.

171
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.000
I listened to that too.

172
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.000
I think it's.

173
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.000
Well I listened to part of.

174
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:20.000
I think it's a rest group one and the rest group. Is it three or four the one that King's Kings and.

175
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.000
And, yes, that one.

176
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:27.000
Yeah, I in fact I saved them so I could get back to me easier.

177
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:38.000
Yeah, it's one in four I think but one of them does the meditations like you're talking about. And that is that music and that you guys yeah that is so good.

178
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:49.000
It is so good. And I did I did it yesterday. I did the 10 minute one yesterday and then today I went back and did the 10 minute and then she does another 10 minute.

179
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:53.000
And it was a different music but they're both really good.

180
00:10:53.000 --> 00:11:00.000
And yeah, yeah because that's when I heard her talking about.

181
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:12.000
Well, several things have opened up for me in the last couple of days I will have to tell you that but when I heard her talking about meditation helps traumas all the way back to age three that the theta, when you drop down to theta, you can actually

182
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:20.000
help heal traumas, even things that sleep can't do because your body's busy when you sleep, I guess.

183
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:35.000
And that you can heal traumas I'm like whoa this and now I understand why so many people are kind of teaching on meditation you know and I've done a tiny bit of it but I was like, I really need to go back and listen to that video so I did and I did it

184
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:52.000
yesterday and today and then I also did the other one which was what I'm why am I having a hard time remembering the other one was, what's the other one is it in the exercise in it besides the meditation is the gosh I'm having a hard time remembering now, but the

185
00:11:52.000 --> 00:12:04.000
exercise but there's, there's a kind of exercise in it to all think of it in a minute, but really to be honest and I finally did a short video you guys were tonight right before we came on.

186
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:07.000
I saw that. Yes, that was good.

187
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.000
Did you listen to it.

188
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:25.000
And I did a short discussion the other night because she actually said that's important so, but I have really realized what she talked about you guys about the fact that we have the walls up.

189
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:40.000
The walls are walls up from letting God's love in oh that's the other one is practicing letting God's love in where she, she did that and I've been trying to practice that some at night with not huge success but I still say it's just, I guess I'll say it's

190
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:52.000
just because I'm still practicing. And so we'll call it a success but boy I tell you it's been yesterday I just really realized that I have not been vulnerable either with the Lord.

191
00:12:52.000 --> 00:13:06.000
When Ashley was talking about that and so I sat down and wrote yesterday and, and just avoid some things just kind of came out that I, you know, and I just embrace the feelings with the Lord.

192
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:17.000
That's one thing I've been learning to do this last year is it's not stuff feelings but embrace them with the Lord, and then write them out if you can and let them go to the Lord.

193
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:27.000
So you get them out you don't stuff them, but boy did I did I embrace some things, just to get transparent that,

194
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:35.000
you know, and it was it was, it was, it was good you know but I.

195
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:43.000
I didn't realize all this so this is a real eye opener you know, and,

196
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:53.000
you know, and then today I really kind of did it again. I did some more writing today,

197
00:13:53.000 --> 00:14:02.000
feeling like I just need to keep keep this journey on and being vulnerable with the Lord and, and,

198
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:05.000
you know, and it's.

199
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:20.000
I just also realize it is it's kind of hard because I realized to I've been on this healing journey for a long time I don't know about you guys but I started on it like over 20 years ago and really got started getting more inner healing.

200
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.000
Gosh over 15.

201
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:38.000
Over 15 years ago so it's kind of like another thing hit me a while ago it was kind of hard was, you know, wondering how much how much progress have I really made because, because here I find myself here after doing it you guys I do more work than hardly

202
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.000
anybody I know.

203
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:46.000
I've done, you know, a lot of different stuff.

204
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:59.000
I'm still doing in fact I have another session tomorrow with with the Oaks rising, which has been real helpful too but but this thing. This is really, I think this is really.

205
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:16.000
Really good stuff to the two things of not being vulnerable with the Lord and then the one that hit me again after reading some Ashley's comments I think is where I read them maybe even her comment back to my discussion was that we have accusations against the Lord.

206
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:23.000
And I didn't realize that. So I went today you guys and I wrote the accusations.

207
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:37.000
And they just came out things I didn't even know even like came out of me was like, Lord, I guess I have an accusation why you, why, why, you know, why didn't you heal my mother, who had mental illness most of my life, and it came out.

208
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:40.000
And why didn't you heal their marriage.

209
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:44.000
And these things just started coming out.

210
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:51.000
And, and, and, you know, those are the first two things I remember.

211
00:15:51.000 --> 00:16:05.000
And, wow, you know, although it's it's really hard kind of hard stuff to, to do this stuff but it's.

212
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:14.000
I can see where it's it's freeing, you know is going to be freeing to get these things out because these must be buried so far in there.

213
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:24.000
Because I didn't know I still had accusation against the Lord about my mother and, and my mom and dad's marriage I didn't know that.

214
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:34.000
And many times as I've forgiven my mother and layer these onions and onions and my father and, and it's like whoa. Okay.

215
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:48.000
So, so it was kind of good. I didn't have a lot of my calendar today and then I ended up with a couple things later but I, I had, I had the whole morning and, and then,

216
00:16:48.000 --> 00:17:05.000
I've prepared some food this week even some extra foods are foods ready and I still think I, and I got to do my meditation and then I finally did these accusations so.

217
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:16.000
So anyway, I just feel like this is a really, you know, a really going to be really helpful.

218
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:26.000
Although I also you know my relationship with my husband just to be vulnerable with you all has been on again off again it's not been good.

219
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:37.000
So, it's just even from the start it's kind of a long story but he was married 30 years and his wife passed, and I knew both of them and then we started dating.

220
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:42.000
Shortly after his wife passed and Ashley met him.

221
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:57.000
He was at the address rest conference with me. First conference we went to together. And then we ended up getting married pretty shortly after and it was just, it just was really pretty hard out of the shoot off and on.

222
00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:14.000
And, you know, good in ways but hard in ways and then the next year turned out to be like the most last year was the most stressful year, or actually they know the year we got married all kinds of things happened and my whole family turned against me sued me.

223
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:19.000
And I didn't fight them, but so I lost really connection with my family and all these.

224
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:26.000
Anyway, other stuff happened. And so finally Ken and I split up.

225
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:41.000
And actually and I don't even know if Ashley knows this, but actually actually I'm just going to be vulnerable actually, I was so hurt by some things and just miscommunications and stuff that I divorced, I filed for divorce.

226
00:18:41.000 --> 00:19:04.000
And then about six months later, we got back together last fall, and we kind of both agreed to do whatever it took. But, you know, that's kind of not, it's kind of like we've done some things and the hard part is I think we do love each other but it.

227
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:19.000
So some things we agreed to do just aren't aren't all hat aren't really happening. And so I just kind of feel like this is a time I need to just work on this journey here of letting God's love in more.

228
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:38.000
So, I don't know what's going to happen with my relationship and kind of even in these last couple of days I've just kind of been like, you know, I think I was trying to control things I was trying to probably codependence showed up again in my life which I didn't, I thought

229
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:42.000
I'd done work on and so I'm just facing a lot of things.

230
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:49.000
Right now, and in some financial stuff.

231
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:55.000
But I, I'm hopeful, because this is I think going to be.

232
00:19:55.000 --> 00:20:00.000
I'm really glad I took I'm really glad that I'm on this journey with you guys.

233
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:07.000
isn't the rest intensive. So I feel like I'm on the right path.

234
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:14.440
And I just gonna have to let things go to God and let their

235
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:18.440
relationship go to God. And, and you know what, it's, it's, it's

236
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:26.920
in, it's really in his hands. So. So anyway, thanks for

237
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:31.920
listening. Thanks for sharing. Yes, thanks for sharing that,

238
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:38.200
Karen. Yeah. Oh, can I ask, um, so when you brought up, when

239
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:40.560
you're having your time with the Lord and the accusations were

240
00:20:40.560 --> 00:20:45.680
coming up, like, how did you, I guess, engage the Lord with that?

241
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:51.120
Or did you just ask him if there's accusations or? Well,

242
00:20:51.400 --> 00:21:06.560
let's see, I am. Um, what I did, I'm looking here. I just I

243
00:21:06.560 --> 00:21:10.800
write that's I learned a long time journal. I journal a lot. I

244
00:21:10.800 --> 00:21:14.840
took a class or I heard a class like 20 over 20 years ago. I

245
00:21:14.840 --> 00:21:18.240
still remember a lady named Linda Makovitz taught a class.

246
00:21:18.800 --> 00:21:21.640
If you don't know if you're hearing from God, or want to

247
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:24.480
hear from God, just write it down, ask him a question. And

248
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:27.240
you're more apt to stop and listen, if you do it on paper,

249
00:21:27.600 --> 00:21:29.760
that if you just ask him a question, you'll go on to the

250
00:21:29.760 --> 00:21:33.160
next thought. And it was like a 30 minute class changed my life

251
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:36.480
forever. And I've passed that little tip on to so many people.

252
00:21:37.320 --> 00:21:39.920
And I just start would start asking him questions. But you'd

253
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:43.800
be amazed, you know, sometimes I'd get one word, sometimes two

254
00:21:43.800 --> 00:21:46.360
words, and next thing you know, you get longer, blah, blah, blah.

255
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:52.160
So I learned, I write. And so I just said, I believe I'm holding

256
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:59.240
accusations against you, God. And I'm so sorry, forgive me,

257
00:21:59.280 --> 00:22:03.920
this came up in my heart. And then, and then it just flew out

258
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:06.880
of me. That's all I said. And it flew out of me, you didn't hear

259
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:14.680
my mom, or their marriage. And I've felt alone, and not love

260
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:18.280
most of my life. I took on codependency tendencies,

261
00:22:18.280 --> 00:22:20.320
because I took on taking care of my mom, because she had mental

262
00:22:20.320 --> 00:22:26.320
illness. And to maybe to have someone to love me or care for,

263
00:22:26.360 --> 00:22:32.040
I guess. And, you know, and I feel like I've done it again. So

264
00:22:32.040 --> 00:22:34.760
it just came out of me. But that's how I've learned is by

265
00:22:34.840 --> 00:22:41.560
writing. So that's how I started it. And I have this beautiful

266
00:22:41.560 --> 00:22:46.040
journal, my friend paints prophetic journals in Kansas

267
00:22:46.040 --> 00:22:51.560
City. Yes, you just give her your name, and she'll, the Lord

268
00:22:51.560 --> 00:22:54.240
will show her a journal that's for you. And then she she gives

269
00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:56.640
you a prophetic word inside of it. And this is they've been

270
00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:59.560
really good, because they just draw, then they just draw you to

271
00:22:59.560 --> 00:23:05.560
them. So writing is how I that's how I started it. So thank you.

272
00:23:05.560 --> 00:23:07.320
Yeah, appreciate that.

273
00:23:09.560 --> 00:23:10.080
Sure.

274
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:13.360
Oh, it's my turn.

275
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:19.640
Rita, Rita.

276
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:25.120
I know. I'm always like, what am I going to share? I need to,

277
00:23:25.320 --> 00:23:31.960
okay, I need to write it down. Um, but so I do need help,

278
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:37.960
because my dad's older. And I was like, I, um, you know, I've

279
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:41.000
had conversations with him recently, and they're just

280
00:23:41.280 --> 00:23:45.680
unpleasant. And, you know, you forgive them. And you don't

281
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:50.800
want to, you know, have hard, hard feelings. But I just have

282
00:23:50.800 --> 00:23:54.440
this thing, like, I don't even want to talk to him. And like, I

283
00:23:54.440 --> 00:24:05.120
need to, I guess, process that with the Lord. But today, I

284
00:24:05.120 --> 00:24:09.240
guess, let me just start from the beginning. So I needed to

285
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:12.680
start back to the beginning. I mean, actually keep saying,

286
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:18.440
like, love is foundational, and no condemnation, you know, so

287
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.720
you can receive freedom a lot sooner. And today, when I was

288
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.560
getting anxious about work, and I'm like, why am I feeling

289
00:24:26.560 --> 00:24:32.560
anxious? And it's because, you know, I'm, I'm kind of a

290
00:24:32.560 --> 00:24:35.440
supervisor. Well, that's my title. I'm a supervisor. So

291
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:38.440
they're asking me questions, we got new tasks, everybody had to

292
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:41.000
be done by the end of the day. And I was like, but I have my

293
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:43.960
own stuff to do, and get done by the end of the day. And I just

294
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:49.160
like, I could feel the panic coming on. Or the anxiety, I

295
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:54.880
don't do panics. Yet. I don't want to. But and then I just

296
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:59.440
said, Lord, you love me. And I just, all I care is that you

297
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:00.080
love me.

298
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:05.000
And I just realized, like, at the beginning of this,

299
00:25:08.600 --> 00:25:11.120
today, you know, us logging in, I was like,

300
00:25:11.120 --> 00:25:13.780
Lord, I did get all my stuff done before.

301
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:17.560
Yeah, before the end of the day,

302
00:25:17.560 --> 00:25:18.840
because yesterday I didn't,

303
00:25:18.840 --> 00:25:23.160
and I was feeling, you know, unhappy about it.

304
00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:26.080
But just today I was like, oh my gosh.

305
00:25:26.080 --> 00:25:28.100
I mean, the anxiety went away too,

306
00:25:28.100 --> 00:25:30.340
and I didn't, you know, really realize that.

307
00:25:30.340 --> 00:25:34.060
But because I'm, you know, trying to receive his love,

308
00:25:34.060 --> 00:25:35.100
and then I still have to get up

309
00:25:35.100 --> 00:25:36.860
because someone's calling me or something.

310
00:25:36.860 --> 00:25:40.920
And I just, you know, but I'm just grateful that,

311
00:25:43.740 --> 00:25:46.780
yeah, I can just always turn to him.

312
00:25:46.780 --> 00:25:51.780
And yeah, I need to see that more in my journey.

313
00:25:51.780 --> 00:25:56.780
But yeah, that's kind of it for now, yeah.

314
00:26:05.220 --> 00:26:06.500
Thank you, Rita.

315
00:26:06.500 --> 00:26:07.660
Yeah, thank you, Raze.

316
00:26:10.060 --> 00:26:11.420
What do you do during the day?

317
00:26:11.420 --> 00:26:13.540
Like, when you're, what did you do to, like,

318
00:26:13.540 --> 00:26:17.900
shift out and shift into rest during the workday?

319
00:26:17.900 --> 00:26:21.060
Is there a specific thing that you do or a tool that you use?

320
00:26:21.980 --> 00:26:26.980
Um, yeah, I mean, definitely acknowledging where my state,

321
00:26:30.700 --> 00:26:33.820
I mean, in the beginning of the day, I try to, you know,

322
00:26:33.820 --> 00:26:38.820
I do the exercise of I'm abiding and, you know,

323
00:26:39.020 --> 00:26:42.500
trying to, you know, be in my union

324
00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:45.940
and just be reminded of that in the beginning of the day.

325
00:26:45.940 --> 00:26:47.540
But then once you get to work,

326
00:26:47.580 --> 00:26:51.220
I feel like I go into autopilot

327
00:26:51.220 --> 00:26:54.580
until something triggers my emotion.

328
00:26:54.580 --> 00:26:59.580
And then when I'm, yeah, when I'm not happy,

329
00:26:59.700 --> 00:27:04.260
then I'll just, like, why am I feeling like this?

330
00:27:04.260 --> 00:27:06.580
And I'm like, oh, I just need to turn to your love.

331
00:27:06.580 --> 00:27:08.860
And I just say, like, Lord, you love me

332
00:27:08.860 --> 00:27:10.540
and you delight in me.

333
00:27:10.540 --> 00:27:14.180
And you love that I'm doing this with you and whatever.

334
00:27:14.180 --> 00:27:17.900
And then my tasks are very tedious or menial.

335
00:27:17.900 --> 00:27:21.580
I mean, I just, they're not fun,

336
00:27:21.580 --> 00:27:23.380
just a lot of data entry and stuff,

337
00:27:23.380 --> 00:27:27.300
but just telling him he's doing it with me

338
00:27:27.300 --> 00:27:28.860
and that he loves me while I do it.

339
00:27:28.860 --> 00:27:32.180
So that's pretty much how I get

340
00:27:33.100 --> 00:27:36.460
over the mundane-ness of my job.

341
00:27:36.460 --> 00:27:38.100
Yeah. That's good.

342
00:27:38.100 --> 00:27:39.820
I love that, Rita.

343
00:27:39.820 --> 00:27:40.860
Sorry.

344
00:27:40.860 --> 00:27:41.860
That's from Ashley.

345
00:27:42.820 --> 00:27:43.660
Hey.

346
00:27:43.660 --> 00:27:44.500
Thanks for sharing.

347
00:27:44.500 --> 00:27:45.340
Yeah.

348
00:27:49.260 --> 00:27:50.860
Okay. I guess it's my turn.

349
00:27:52.700 --> 00:27:53.940
So I don't know.

350
00:27:53.940 --> 00:27:56.940
Should I start with, okay, I'll start,

351
00:27:56.940 --> 00:27:58.020
like, I'll do a mixture.

352
00:27:58.020 --> 00:28:00.220
Start with the praise report from last time.

353
00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:04.100
So I was, I guess I mentioned, shared with you guys

354
00:28:04.100 --> 00:28:07.580
that I was just like, I was triggered by my husband.

355
00:28:07.980 --> 00:28:10.980
And so I asked Ashley just about like,

356
00:28:12.260 --> 00:28:13.500
okay, what do you do?

357
00:28:13.500 --> 00:28:15.780
Because I was realizing that I self-soothed.

358
00:28:15.780 --> 00:28:18.740
And so she talked about like, it's okay to like,

359
00:28:19.980 --> 00:28:24.620
she used the Bible verse or area about wrestling with God,

360
00:28:24.620 --> 00:28:26.060
about Jacob wrestling with God.

361
00:28:26.060 --> 00:28:27.100
And it's like, okay.

362
00:28:27.100 --> 00:28:29.340
Cause I think for me, I realized it's like,

363
00:28:29.340 --> 00:28:34.180
if I have feelings that aren't pretty,

364
00:28:34.180 --> 00:28:35.020
you know what I mean?

365
00:28:35.020 --> 00:28:37.260
Like, it's like, no, I'm offended.

366
00:28:37.940 --> 00:28:38.780
You did this to me.

367
00:28:38.780 --> 00:28:40.660
And no, I don't feel like forgiving you.

368
00:28:40.660 --> 00:28:41.500
You know what I mean?

369
00:28:41.500 --> 00:28:42.860
Like, I'm over your nonsense.

370
00:28:42.860 --> 00:28:44.980
Like, that was the state that I was in.

371
00:28:44.980 --> 00:28:47.300
And so, like, I was like,

372
00:28:47.300 --> 00:28:49.140
I didn't feel like I could really bring that to God.

373
00:28:49.140 --> 00:28:50.500
Cause I'm like, it wasn't loving.

374
00:28:50.500 --> 00:28:52.500
I know it wasn't Christ-like, you know what I mean?

375
00:28:52.500 --> 00:28:55.020
Like, but I was like, that's how I was feeling, you know?

376
00:28:55.020 --> 00:29:00.020
And so having her say, like, it's okay to like,

377
00:29:00.020 --> 00:29:01.940
bring, you know, your feelings to God,

378
00:29:01.940 --> 00:29:03.420
like that helped me to like,

379
00:29:03.420 --> 00:29:06.500
I talked it out with him in my head and I was like,

380
00:29:06.500 --> 00:29:07.740
okay, okay.

381
00:29:07.740 --> 00:29:09.500
So then I felt better about it.

382
00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:11.340
And then I brought it to my husband

383
00:29:11.340 --> 00:29:13.460
and he received it really well.

384
00:29:13.460 --> 00:29:15.660
It was a good conversation.

385
00:29:15.660 --> 00:29:18.340
You know, they've been getting, you know,

386
00:29:18.340 --> 00:29:20.380
it could be, girl, you never know what you're gonna get.

387
00:29:20.380 --> 00:29:23.940
So anyway, it was a good conversation.

388
00:29:23.940 --> 00:29:25.020
God's been working on them.

389
00:29:25.020 --> 00:29:27.100
So it's definitely improvement overall,

390
00:29:27.100 --> 00:29:29.860
as far as progress, but still.

391
00:29:29.860 --> 00:29:31.020
So that was good.

392
00:29:31.060 --> 00:29:36.060
And I guess, but even, I think just being in that like,

393
00:29:36.940 --> 00:29:39.460
place of like, not wanting to deal with the world,

394
00:29:39.460 --> 00:29:42.100
like I kind of like, realized that I try to self-suit

395
00:29:42.100 --> 00:29:43.420
by just like, escaping the world.

396
00:29:43.420 --> 00:29:45.380
Like, nope, I don't want to deal with it.

397
00:29:45.380 --> 00:29:47.140
Like, I'll just turn the show on

398
00:29:47.140 --> 00:29:50.660
and I'll live in this fantasy world and whatever.

399
00:29:50.660 --> 00:29:51.660
You know what I mean?

400
00:29:51.660 --> 00:29:53.500
And before when I had like a nine to five,

401
00:29:53.500 --> 00:29:54.860
it was like, okay, well you got to get up.

402
00:29:54.860 --> 00:29:56.740
Like, you just got to get to moving, you know?

403
00:29:56.740 --> 00:29:59.740
And now I'm like, okay, I don't have to go nowhere.

404
00:29:59.740 --> 00:30:00.580
Like.

405
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.480
You know, no one's telling me I'm so it's bad. But anyway, um, it's good, though, because I like,

406
00:30:07.360 --> 00:30:13.680
it's good, though, because I realized that this has still been like my mode of operating for a

407
00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:19.520
really long time. And because I had those things in place, like, you got to go to work at a certain

408
00:30:19.520 --> 00:30:25.200
time, like that would cause you to like, it would cause me not to dwell on it and to be able to like

409
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:30.640
move on, so to speak, but it wasn't like moving on in a healthy way. You know what I mean? It was

410
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:37.040
still like, I really wasn't dealing where you just move past it, you know? So I'm glad that I'm,

411
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:43.360
I have this time because I can, like, I can't blame my unhealthy habits or unhealthy choices

412
00:30:43.360 --> 00:30:49.840
on anybody, but me, they're my choices, you know what I mean? So, um, it's good, because I'm having

413
00:30:49.840 --> 00:30:57.520
to come to terms with that, because I've realized that, like, I guess, I know I isolate from people,

414
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:03.840
but I guess I just realized, too, like, while one hears that, I also isolate from God. Like,

415
00:31:03.840 --> 00:31:08.640
I don't want to talk to him either, you know? It's like, I don't feel like, I feel loved. I don't feel

416
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:14.320
like he loves me, just doesn't love me. I don't feel that. I do just, just feel like I guess I

417
00:31:14.320 --> 00:31:19.760
have to figure things out on my own, and then that's where, like, the, the mind, the, like,

418
00:31:19.760 --> 00:31:24.400
negative, like, the circling, looping thoughts or whatever will go on until, like, I'm

419
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:32.000
broken out of that. So my wonderful, delightful friend, Kim, who told me about this program,

420
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:40.880
and she's, she's been through this, and so she just, like, God just puts me on her heart,

421
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:47.520
and she will be like, Tim, are you okay? Like, I just, like, what's going on? And so she called

422
00:31:47.520 --> 00:31:53.840
me, and I had opened up to her before, just about just really, like, feeling really dark feelings,

423
00:31:53.840 --> 00:31:58.960
and she was just really, like, it was really great, and God used her to kind of help to transition me

424
00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:04.720
out of that, and I wasn't quite in that same place, but I definitely was going there again,

425
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:08.480
and I'm just, like, I'm so thankful for my friends, but also, I'm like, okay, Timmy,

426
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:12.480
you need to choose better, like, enough's enough, like, you can't have your friends be, like, calling

427
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:15.920
you all the time, because you need to get your stuff together, and I know that might sound like,

428
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:20.400
oh, well, it's not work, I just need to choose better, like, if you know better, choose better,

429
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:28.000
like, period, you know, and so that's kind of, like, so her and her husband interceded for me

430
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:35.440
that night, and I felt a lot better after we talked, and then that evening, and in this morning,

431
00:32:35.600 --> 00:32:44.400
that was, like, yesterday, so I felt better. I, today, I went to volunteer at a school, I was,

432
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:50.560
like, really excited to volunteer at the library at a school, so that was great, so it was good to,

433
00:32:50.560 --> 00:32:55.600
like, have a purpose, and have somewhere to go, and, you know, and so that's good, so I'm going

434
00:32:55.600 --> 00:33:04.240
to make sure that I integrate that more, so I just, I've definitely had a much better day, and

435
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:10.080
you know, even my friend Kim, she was, like, you know, you just got it, your job is to choose to

436
00:33:10.080 --> 00:33:14.960
believe, and I was, like, okay, okay, so I texted back, I choose to believe, so, like, that was a

437
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:23.840
declaration, so I'm looking forward to just being, like, going, progressing, and just getting out of

438
00:33:23.840 --> 00:33:33.120
these loops that I recognize about myself, and just being more consistent about choosing God, so

439
00:33:33.840 --> 00:33:39.440
thanks for listening, and Karen, thank you so much for those tips about, like, journaling, I wrote

440
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:44.480
those down, like, and I realized, too, there's, like, I don't feel like I really have accusations

441
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:48.800
against God so much, it's, like, I have accusations against myself sometimes, it's, like, well, you

442
00:33:48.800 --> 00:33:52.480
should have known better, you know what I mean, it's, like, so it's just, so that was really helpful

443
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:58.160
for me, because I think that'll add another layer, and just consistency on, like, doing those things

444
00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:02.640
so I can be aware of my feelings, and then I can present them to God, and we can just keep this

445
00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:11.199
process moving in a positive way, so thank you, yeah, thank you, thanks for sharing, and that's

446
00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:16.320
good, thank you, and I didn't think I had accusations, really, either, but then once she said it, I thought,

447
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:23.280
once I read that, in that discussion, I thought, I wonder if I have accusations,

448
00:34:24.560 --> 00:34:31.199
and that's why, that's why I found journaling to be so, so helpful, it's, I get so much more

449
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:38.239
out if I, if I write my feelings out, or anything, and it's, it's, it's, it's become a habit,

450
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:45.280
it changed my life, I remember always wanting to spend time with God, talk to God, and, you know,

451
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:50.320
but then work got in the way, you know, everything in the world, and then, but when I started writing,

452
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:56.800
is really when I started hearing from God more, and even, I remember one time, he wrote, like,

453
00:34:56.800 --> 00:35:00.080
trust, trust, and obey, he said it every,

454
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.360
day for like two weeks to me, that's it, trust and obey,

455
00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:05.320
trust and obey, trust and obey. And then I get believe and

456
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:08.440
receive, believe and receive, believe in us, and be over and

457
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:11.320
over and over. And then, you know, and then one day, I'd get

458
00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:14.120
like two paragraphs and go, whoa. And then, you know, like

459
00:35:14.120 --> 00:35:16.760
this lady said, if you find out you're not really hearing from a

460
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:19.560
God, and it's just you. So what have you lost? You're, you're at

461
00:35:19.560 --> 00:35:22.400
least, but you'll find some patterns and see some things

462
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:26.520
where it really was God after a while. And so it really has been

463
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:31.800
helpful. And it doesn't hurt to have a nice journal. Y'all

464
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:32.960
should get yourselves one.

465
00:35:35.720 --> 00:35:38.280
What is that painting behind you? What is that painting?

466
00:35:38.720 --> 00:35:41.800
But any journals work? I believe me, I have a ton of just, you

467
00:35:41.800 --> 00:35:45.840
know, $2 general journals work. Um, yeah, that is the seven

468
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:52.480
spirits of God. Painting a pastor painted. Yeah. Wow. I

469
00:35:52.480 --> 00:36:02.160
like I've been really thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. So

470
00:36:02.160 --> 00:36:06.960
it's, it's something funny that I just read. Yeah, we're talking

471
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:12.280
about your significant other. It says female dragonflies will

472
00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:16.840
fake their own death to avoid mating with unwanted males. I

473
00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:18.280
thought that was so funny.

474
00:36:21.240 --> 00:36:24.920
flies will fake their own death to avoid mating with unwanted

475
00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:25.400
males.

476
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:31.600
Oh, you went you went you're you're muted now, Diana.

477
00:36:32.520 --> 00:36:36.360
I said that to me was like, well, that's a smart dragon.

478
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:41.280
That's the funniest thing I've heard. Oh my gosh, girl.

479
00:36:47.520 --> 00:36:52.360
Oh my word. Well, I have just been over here to thank you,

480
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:58.120
milord. I'm like, Lord, they're doing it. Y'all have made a

481
00:36:58.120 --> 00:37:05.520
huge transition for the last time. Excellent. Great. So I'm

482
00:37:05.520 --> 00:37:09.800
so excited. Okay. And let me put my other camera back on just a

483
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:16.680
second. Let's see. Oh, my word. Oh my goodness. Here we go.

484
00:37:17.640 --> 00:37:23.720
Right. So that's great. I am so excited for all of the

485
00:37:23.720 --> 00:37:27.160
breakthroughs that y'all have been receiving from the Lord,

486
00:37:27.160 --> 00:37:30.080
you know, Rita, you said that you're choosing the Lord,

487
00:37:30.080 --> 00:37:34.320
you're like, Okay, I am doing mundane tasks, and the Lord is

488
00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:39.040
delighting in me while I'm doing them. That's great. Seriously,

489
00:37:39.040 --> 00:37:42.880
that will, that will transform everything to understand that

490
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:48.440
God delights in us. And in us when we're when we feel when we

491
00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:52.480
have when we struggle to and to connect what we're doing with a

492
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:55.080
contribution. And I understand that you know that you're

493
00:37:55.080 --> 00:37:57.840
contributing, but there's a reason why you feel that it's

494
00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:01.960
mundane, meaning like, it's not bringing life to you. And so

495
00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:04.080
that's what I'm talking about. It's not like you can't like

496
00:38:04.120 --> 00:38:08.480
have a have a definitive outcome that you can point to. It's that

497
00:38:08.640 --> 00:38:11.560
in you, you don't feel like life is coming out of you. So

498
00:38:11.560 --> 00:38:16.320
emotionally, we have a difficult time connecting that with God

499
00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:21.760
being, you know, God, the lighting in us, with we feel

500
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:27.080
happy, if we feel alive, it's easier for us to translate at

501
00:38:27.080 --> 00:38:30.840
that as Oh, God is happy with me too. But when we're struggling,

502
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:34.720
because we don't have that that fire within us. And who was I

503
00:38:34.720 --> 00:38:38.680
talking to? Oh, I was talking to Annette, she in the in the

504
00:38:38.680 --> 00:38:42.040
rest intensive, you'll the rest intensive in the rest group that

505
00:38:42.040 --> 00:38:45.840
y'all see when I get that uploaded earlier this afternoon,

506
00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:48.800
she was talking about the same thing about this idea, or I was

507
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:52.040
talking the same thing about talking this about the same

508
00:38:52.040 --> 00:38:59.400
thing to her, this idea that of, of, of connecting with the fact

509
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:03.880
that God delights in us, regardless of what we're doing,

510
00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:07.680
and just bringing it back to that point. And oh, you know

511
00:39:07.680 --> 00:39:10.840
what, I'm wrong, it was related to something that Renata said,

512
00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:15.040
but it was, I was obviously Annette and Renata, Renata were

513
00:39:15.040 --> 00:39:17.200
both on the call. And so I was talking to both of them about

514
00:39:17.200 --> 00:39:21.480
this and kind of like trying to encourage them. And I encourage

515
00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:24.800
all of y'all to watch it when I get it uploaded, because it's

516
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:29.120
basically simplifying what it is that we should focus on right

517
00:39:29.120 --> 00:39:32.480
now, if we're having a difficult time letting things go, just

518
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:39.240
focus on you, and, and choosing God, and on choosing to believe

519
00:39:39.240 --> 00:39:44.880
what he says about you choosing to that God delights in you, and

520
00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:49.120
therefore you delight in the thing that God delights in. And

521
00:39:49.120 --> 00:39:53.080
by doing that, you'll be shocked at how easy it is to let things

522
00:39:53.080 --> 00:39:56.440
go, because you'll effortlessly let things go by trying to

523
00:39:56.440 --> 00:39:59.880
choose this. And anyway, so Rita, you're

524
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.120
Doing it, that's wonderful, I'm so excited for you.

525
00:40:03.120 --> 00:40:05.440
So I've been with Rita for a while now, you know,

526
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:09.280
so I always get really excited when I see these new ways

527
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:12.120
in which she's going deeper and deeper and deeper.

528
00:40:12.120 --> 00:40:16.120
And see, you know, she's going through the rest intensive,

529
00:40:16.120 --> 00:40:19.280
you know, for, it's the rest intensive specifically,

530
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:21.040
she's going through the second time, why?

531
00:40:21.040 --> 00:40:24.480
Because you can use the exact same principles

532
00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:26.200
to go deeper than you did before.

533
00:40:26.200 --> 00:40:28.160
You know, use them to go to this level.

534
00:40:28.160 --> 00:40:29.680
And once you hit this level, you're like, okay,

535
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:32.840
I'm going to use the exact same principles to go deeper.

536
00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:35.400
And now, because now you can,

537
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:39.000
now you can see a deeper level to which they apply.

538
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:41.040
I mean, Karen, oh, my word,

539
00:40:42.120 --> 00:40:44.760
just like open up the floodgates.

540
00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:47.520
I'm so excited, seriously,

541
00:40:47.520 --> 00:40:51.240
complete transformation is now available.

542
00:40:51.240 --> 00:40:53.440
It's all the difference in the world

543
00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:58.120
in being able, in what we have accessible to us

544
00:40:58.120 --> 00:41:01.760
simply by being vulnerable to the Lord.

545
00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:04.000
We don't have to be vulnerable to other people

546
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:05.680
in order to do that.

547
00:41:05.680 --> 00:41:09.760
But we don't, if we're not vulnerable with other people,

548
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:12.240
typically it means that we're not vulnerable to the Lord.

549
00:41:12.240 --> 00:41:14.840
There's no way to be vulnerable to the Lord

550
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:16.360
and not vulnerable to other people.

551
00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:18.320
There's just no way whatsoever.

552
00:41:18.320 --> 00:41:20.600
So I think that it's wonderful.

553
00:41:20.600 --> 00:41:23.040
I'm so excited for you because after last time,

554
00:41:23.040 --> 00:41:26.600
I was like, Lord, I really hope that she has the courage

555
00:41:26.600 --> 00:41:30.200
because it's like, everything's on the other side.

556
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:32.920
Freedom's on the other side.

557
00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:35.920
Everything she wants from God is on the other side.

558
00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:38.360
So I'm so excited because each of us here,

559
00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:42.720
we're on our own journey of what we want with our father.

560
00:41:42.720 --> 00:41:44.760
The rest of us just have the privilege

561
00:41:44.760 --> 00:41:48.920
of getting to be part of someone else's journey,

562
00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:51.520
get to be encouraged by someone else's journey.

563
00:41:51.520 --> 00:41:55.920
But each of us is on our own individual relationship

564
00:41:55.960 --> 00:41:58.720
with the Lord where the Lord is very jealous of it.

565
00:41:58.720 --> 00:42:00.760
It's he and us.

566
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:02.480
The rest of us are just honored

567
00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:05.560
to get to just have like a front row seat

568
00:42:05.560 --> 00:42:08.400
and to be encouraged by being allowed the privilege

569
00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:12.040
of access to watch someone else's journey

570
00:42:12.040 --> 00:42:15.560
and to hopefully be pushed further along the path

571
00:42:15.560 --> 00:42:17.520
and encouraged further along in the path

572
00:42:17.520 --> 00:42:18.920
by simply being, like I said,

573
00:42:18.920 --> 00:42:23.120
being exposed to the courage that someone else has.

574
00:42:23.160 --> 00:42:27.400
And so anyway, I'm excited for the breakthrough

575
00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:28.720
that you had with the Lord.

576
00:42:28.720 --> 00:42:30.280
I think that that was great,

577
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:33.360
what you were talking about a lot about riding the step down

578
00:42:33.360 --> 00:42:37.640
and how things just naturally just started flowing out

579
00:42:37.640 --> 00:42:39.200
of you between you and the Lord.

580
00:42:39.200 --> 00:42:41.560
Like, okay, Lord, I'm gonna be honest.

581
00:42:41.560 --> 00:42:44.960
And the Lord's like, okay, see, I always knew it was there,

582
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:47.040
but now we can deal with it.

583
00:42:47.040 --> 00:42:48.960
Now you can be free.

584
00:42:48.960 --> 00:42:51.600
You know, now you don't have to be

585
00:42:51.600 --> 00:42:53.200
under that bondage anymore.

586
00:42:53.200 --> 00:42:55.280
Oh, they're excited for you.

587
00:42:55.280 --> 00:42:58.200
That's huge, that's huge.

588
00:42:58.200 --> 00:43:01.880
And Diana, oh my word, you know,

589
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:04.080
everything it is that you've been going through this week,

590
00:43:04.080 --> 00:43:06.400
I'm so sorry, you know, it's just been a big,

591
00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:09.920
it's been a lot, it's been heavy,

592
00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:13.200
but you've also been experiencing the deeper,

593
00:43:13.200 --> 00:43:16.080
more intimate communication, you know, with the Lord,

594
00:43:16.080 --> 00:43:17.080
the deeper intimacy,

595
00:43:17.080 --> 00:43:20.320
because you were wanting to hear more from him

596
00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:22.400
and go deeper into his heart.

597
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:24.520
And boom, already, immediately,

598
00:43:24.520 --> 00:43:26.800
he just started opening himself up to you.

599
00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:28.360
He's like, I'm excited.

600
00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:31.040
I'm excited for what you're experiencing.

601
00:43:31.040 --> 00:43:34.880
And speaking of that, I'd forgotten,

602
00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:35.800
let me write that down.

603
00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:40.080
There was, you were talking last time

604
00:43:40.080 --> 00:43:42.800
about the fact that God was processing with you

605
00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:47.800
through grief, you know, some stuff.

606
00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:53.120
And there was a post that I made about the time,

607
00:43:53.120 --> 00:43:55.320
actually, that I, in fact, it was,

608
00:43:55.320 --> 00:43:58.400
it was the time that I did this recording

609
00:43:58.400 --> 00:44:00.400
for the Interest Rest Conference,

610
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:01.840
you know, that y'all were watching.

611
00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:03.520
I was going through the grieving process

612
00:44:03.520 --> 00:44:06.480
of having to let my dog go to another home.

613
00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:08.240
So I let her go to a friend,

614
00:44:08.240 --> 00:44:12.120
a mutual friend of Karen's and mine, Adrienne Kimmons.

615
00:44:12.120 --> 00:44:16.440
She and her husband take in special needs dogs,

616
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:18.440
or in my case, just a senior dog.

617
00:44:18.440 --> 00:44:20.000
And I'd had her for nine years.

618
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:21.800
This was my little child.

619
00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:24.000
In fact, I even had a dream about her.

620
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:26.640
And I don't know how to express to you.

621
00:44:26.640 --> 00:44:29.320
I have a picture of her next to, on my nightstand.

622
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:31.640
And it's the only picture on my nightstand.

623
00:44:31.640 --> 00:44:35.320
I mean, I, you know, I loved my little girl.

624
00:44:35.320 --> 00:44:37.040
She was so special, and the Lord healed me

625
00:44:37.040 --> 00:44:38.600
so much through her.

626
00:44:38.600 --> 00:44:42.000
So when the Lord tells me that while she's living

627
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:44.000
to pass her on to someone else

628
00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:46.800
because he wants me to go travel overseas, you know,

629
00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:51.760
with him, it, it, I struggled so much.

630
00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:54.720
And it broke my heart to such a degree

631
00:44:54.720 --> 00:44:59.720
that it wasn't until, I think it was,

632
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:07.320
It wasn't until she passed away a week before my husband and I got married that I finally

633
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:09.640
could talk about her without crying.

634
00:45:09.640 --> 00:45:14.680
I mean, just talk about her, you know, and I'd, and I'd been separated from her for a

635
00:45:14.680 --> 00:45:16.280
year by that point.

636
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:20.460
And I up to that point had not been able to even talk about it without crying or think

637
00:45:20.460 --> 00:45:22.000
about her without crying.

638
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:24.360
So I was, she meant a lot to me.

639
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:34.960
And so the Lord had me let go of a being, no, it's not a human, but a being that while

640
00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:39.240
she was still living and I, and she wasn't with me anymore.

641
00:45:39.240 --> 00:45:45.000
And that was a very unique kind of a grief for her to still be existing, but me to not

642
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:50.480
get to have her, me to not get to access her and me not having been married at the time

643
00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:55.840
or having children for nine years, being with this little companion would, and then

644
00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:57.760
all of a sudden be separated from her.

645
00:45:57.760 --> 00:45:58.760
Oh my word.

646
00:45:58.760 --> 00:46:04.080
It was, I was shocked at how hard that it was and how attached I was to an animal.

647
00:46:04.080 --> 00:46:05.760
It wasn't even a human.

648
00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:10.160
I mean, and I thought I was doing a good job of being like separated and understanding

649
00:46:10.160 --> 00:46:11.160
she's an animal.

650
00:46:11.160 --> 00:46:14.280
You know, I didn't like people calling her by my last name and stuff like that.

651
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:15.280
I'm like, no, no, no.

652
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:19.320
She didn't have my last name, but I am telling you what I was connected to her.

653
00:46:19.320 --> 00:46:25.360
So I did, so the Lord kind of watched me through this process of how to grieve with

654
00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:29.440
grieve over something with the Lord in rest.

655
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:38.280
And I did a video, um, I think just, uh, maybe just a few days after I finished this conference,

656
00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:41.960
you know, the NRS rest conference where I did this, the, um, the, of the recordings

657
00:46:41.960 --> 00:46:43.520
that we're watching.

658
00:46:43.520 --> 00:46:47.560
And so I'll try to find that and post that for you, um, just for you to watch.

659
00:46:47.560 --> 00:46:53.240
It may not, you might be able to find some kind of, uh, of meat in there of like a principle

660
00:46:53.240 --> 00:46:58.480
because the whole point is the principle of how to grieve something with God in rest,

661
00:46:58.480 --> 00:46:59.480
in rest.

662
00:46:59.480 --> 00:47:04.520
It's, it's an animal, it's not a person, but the whole point of it, what, or that's what

663
00:47:04.520 --> 00:47:05.520
prompted me.

664
00:47:05.520 --> 00:47:11.400
But remember, we all go through our own unique situations and it was the principle of, of

665
00:47:11.400 --> 00:47:19.120
like the accusations that came up between me to God, because I was grieving to anyone.

666
00:47:19.120 --> 00:47:31.600
I'll try to post that in the group, um, you know, and, um, yes, we look at you, like I

667
00:47:31.600 --> 00:47:37.600
said, just like I was telling all of the others you're doing it, you are, you're facing it,

668
00:47:37.600 --> 00:47:44.700
you know, and you have decided that, okay, you know, maybe I can trust God with my emotions.

669
00:47:44.700 --> 00:47:49.720
Maybe I can trust God when I feel the most vulnerable, when I feel the most, like my

670
00:47:49.720 --> 00:47:50.720
feelings aren't.

671
00:47:50.720 --> 00:47:52.880
And I thought that, yeah, I loved how you worded it.

672
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:54.280
They're not pretty.

673
00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:59.400
You know, when I don't feel like I've got something beautiful and put together, you

674
00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:03.200
know, to give to the Lord, to offer to the Lord is like, okay, Lord doesn't take me as

675
00:48:03.200 --> 00:48:04.200
I am.

676
00:48:04.200 --> 00:48:12.760
And, and you're choosing to trust that he's safe, that he's a safe place when you're the

677
00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:17.640
most vulnerable, because we're the most vulnerable when we feel like we don't have anything that

678
00:48:17.640 --> 00:48:24.040
we're, we feel like we're coming with nothing, but us, nothing was just our raw selves.

679
00:48:24.040 --> 00:48:28.120
We're not, we don't, we don't even have it almost like it's like, we don't even have

680
00:48:28.120 --> 00:48:29.340
a sense of self.

681
00:48:29.340 --> 00:48:35.100
We don't have a sense of like, of anything valuable that we can contribute.

682
00:48:35.100 --> 00:48:40.540
And so the Lord, what the Lord does when we come to him in that most vulnerable state

683
00:48:40.540 --> 00:48:47.220
is he proves to us experientially, in other words, by actually experiencing the fact that

684
00:48:47.220 --> 00:48:53.020
he finds value when we've brought nothing that we understand as value.

685
00:48:53.020 --> 00:48:58.540
And then he shows us, no, the raw essence, that's where the value is.

686
00:48:58.740 --> 00:49:02.780
And we can tell ourselves that all we want, but it's not until we actually come to him

687
00:49:02.780 --> 00:49:10.180
with nothing, but our raw selves, that we find out that he really does value the raw

688
00:49:10.180 --> 00:49:13.860
self and not the other stuff.

689
00:49:13.860 --> 00:49:20.820
I mean, like he doesn't even value the other stuff at all that, that other stuff that he

690
00:49:20.820 --> 00:49:27.300
talks about that we keep attributing value to is the, is the stuff that he says is supposed

691
00:49:27.300 --> 00:49:34.780
to come naturally out of, in other words, be the expression of our raw selves.

692
00:49:34.780 --> 00:49:38.340
All he cares about is the raw self, not the expression.

693
00:49:38.340 --> 00:49:43.260
The expression is just something that he talks to us about of something we can expect to

694
00:49:43.260 --> 00:49:51.900
see when we are our raw selves, but it's our raw self that has the value, not what it expresses,

695
00:49:51.900 --> 00:49:57.900
not the goodness that it expresses, not the obedience that it expresses, but the raw self

696
00:49:57.900 --> 00:49:59.700
that the obedience comes out of.

697
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.000
That is what has the value.

698
00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:06.000
So anyway, but I'm excited for everyone.

699
00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:07.000
That's great.

700
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:10.000
Does anyone have let me check the time really quick.

701
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:11.000
Oh, we are almost done.

702
00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:16.000
So you have just a few minutes, but does anyone have any questions?

703
00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:23.000
You know, anything kind of like they've been running into kind of any

704
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:26.000
obstacles or hurdles or just wondering.

705
00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:28.000
Oh, and while y'all are thinking of that.

706
00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:29.000
So be thinking of that.

707
00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:30.000
Are you thinking of that?

708
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:32.000
I heard y'all talking about really enjoying that.

709
00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:36.000
Song.

710
00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:39.000
I don't know which song that y'all were referencing.

711
00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:43.000
And I'm trying to remember if it was two or three that were in that,

712
00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:44.000
in that session.

713
00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:46.000
But.

714
00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:48.000
How many were there? Were there two or three?

715
00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:49.000
Do you remember?

716
00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:52.000
No, I don't know.

717
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:54.000
The second one, I'm going to have to go back and,

718
00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:57.000
and remind myself of it. But the first one.

719
00:50:57.000 --> 00:51:00.000
The first one is called a finding rest.

720
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:02.000
That's the name of that song.

721
00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:07.000
Finding rest.

722
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:12.000
Yeah. So I'm going to try to find that and put it on a playlist.

723
00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:14.000
And give y'all access to the playlist.

724
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:16.000
So it's something I've been meaning to do for a while.

725
00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:18.000
And with everything that I have going on, in other words,

726
00:51:18.000 --> 00:51:21.000
multiple things that I'm trying to add to the platform to make it more

727
00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:22.000
robust.

728
00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:24.000
That's one of the things on the list.

729
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:27.000
I'll try to bump it up on the list is, is creating that playlist.

730
00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:30.000
And so anyway, that one very.

731
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:31.000
Absolutely.

732
00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:34.000
It's called finding rest and the, and another one, and I don't.

733
00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:39.000
I think that.

734
00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:43.000
I think that it was the one that accompanied.

735
00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:46.000
On the love affair when, you know, where it's like, I said, you know,

736
00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:49.000
look for, look for Jesus, you know, ask Jesus where he is.

737
00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:50.000
You know, the very first session.

738
00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:52.000
And I had an instrumental going.

739
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:54.000
And I was like, you know, I don't know.

740
00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:55.000
I'm not sure.

741
00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:59.000
I'm not sure.

742
00:51:59.000 --> 00:52:02.000
But I think that that one was the one that's called be still and no.

743
00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:04.000
Again, the whole, you know, letting go, whatever.

744
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:06.000
So all of these things were just very.

745
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:07.000
Absolutely.

746
00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:08.000
And no, I didn't write these songs.

747
00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:13.000
They were great.

748
00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:16.000
And then what I would do is I found these songs and I've listened to

749
00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:17.000
them and I thought.

750
00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:21.000
That if it sounded like what.

751
00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:25.000
If I felt like it had this spirit of what its title implied,

752
00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:27.000
then I included it.

753
00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:29.000
And there were some that talked about rest. I'm listening to,

754
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:34.000
and I'm going, that doesn't sound like rest.

755
00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:37.000
You know, then I didn't play it at the, at the, at the conference,

756
00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:39.000
but if it did.

757
00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:41.000
And that thought, okay, no, that has,

758
00:52:41.000 --> 00:52:43.000
that has what it is that I'm looking for.

759
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:47.000
That really does have that note of rest within it.

760
00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:50.000
Anyway, so.

761
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:51.000
Okay.

762
00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:55.000
So we really are at time, but.

763
00:52:55.000 --> 00:53:04.000
Does anyone have any question before we jump off?

764
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:06.000
I have a quick question. I don't know if it's possible,

765
00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:09.000
but you know how we were supposed to all meet one Saturday.

766
00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:11.000
And it was before it really kicked off.

767
00:53:11.000 --> 00:53:12.000
And.

768
00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:17.000
Was Norway there too.

769
00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:19.000
I was just wondering if there was a time we could all be here.

770
00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:21.000
Yeah.

771
00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:23.000
Well, we can do that.

772
00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:27.000
And.

773
00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:35.000
Yeah, I can put that together and see if.

774
00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:38.000
And see if that's possible for everyone's schedules. Yes.

775
00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:41.000
So the one that we were all that we all met together was the.

776
00:53:41.000 --> 00:53:43.000
Not last weekend, but the one before.

777
00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:44.000
Was that right?

778
00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:45.000
Yeah.

779
00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:47.000
Yeah, not last weekend, but the one before,

780
00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:48.000
but the one before.

781
00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:49.000
Yeah.

782
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:50.000
Yeah.

783
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:57.000
I know where it was like several hour when that.

784
00:53:57.000 --> 00:54:01.000
Annette and Renata were there for all of Saturday in the part of

785
00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:06.000
Sunday.

786
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:08.000
So, and so they were there during the discussion groups,

787
00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:11.000
but I suppose we all just come split out and then we very rarely were

788
00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:13.000
all together. We were a little bit, but not much.

789
00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:15.000
So what I can do is I can see.

790
00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:19.000
So I can see if I can see if we can all get together.

791
00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:20.000
That's kind of a good question.

792
00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:22.000
I'm going to go back to my, my minutes.

793
00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:24.000
I'm going to go back to my last rest intensive. Maybe they can,

794
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:30.000
you know, even though it's very late.

795
00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:31.000
They could jump in. So we'll see.

796
00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:34.000
So that is really good to know that everybody wants to see if we can

797
00:54:34.000 --> 00:54:36.000
all get together because they are really a lot of fun.

798
00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:37.000
The two of them.

799
00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:38.000
And so it would be fun.

800
00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:40.000
So, but yeah, I'll look into that.

801
00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:41.000
See if we can do that. That would be fun.

802
00:54:41.000 --> 00:54:42.000
Yeah.

803
00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:43.000
Yeah.

804
00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:44.000
I'm going to look into that.

805
00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:46.000
Yeah.

806
00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:48.000
On one of the weekend days. So, oh, okay.

807
00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:49.000
Yeah. Not just, yeah.

808
00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:56.000
Not just to like.

809
00:54:56.000 --> 00:54:58.000
But I don't know if that was available. I've just,

810
00:54:58.000 --> 00:55:01.000
I just put it out there and y'all can think about it or if it doesn't

811
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:09.080
Everyone wants to see if we can do that, because it is the most fun if we're all there. Otherwise, you know, I get to meet with everybody, but everybody's kind of segmented.

812
00:55:01.000 --> 00:55:02.000
fit the schedule, then it's fine.

813
00:55:02.000 --> 00:55:03.000
Okay. All right.

814
00:55:03.000 --> 00:55:04.000
Well, that's good.

815
00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:05.000
All right. Well, I will look into that.

816
00:55:10.520 --> 00:55:11.120
All right.

817
00:55:11.240 --> 00:55:16.520
Oh, good. All right. Well, I will look into that. Anything else before we jump off? We're all good?

818
00:55:18.040 --> 00:55:24.400
Okay, y'all are easy. Okay, well, don't forget the journey shares, everyone.

819
00:55:24.440 --> 00:55:25.680
Okay, I'll work on it.

820
00:55:26.600 --> 00:55:34.720
A little something to do, have to do, but I am telling you what, it makes all the difference. I promise you, I promise you, I promise you.

821
00:55:35.120 --> 00:55:47.320
And so if I were to show you the number of posts and how vulnerable they were for certain people that have gone the farthest, the fastest, you know, you would, you would all want to do

822
00:55:48.160 --> 00:56:01.000
journey shares. So I'll try to say again, I'm going to continue as we talk about stuff. I'm going to try to share other people's journey shares that I think would be especially encouraging.

823
00:56:01.400 --> 00:56:12.320
And then you can see how other people have like opened themselves up. And then these people are people that have like really transitioned very far, very fast and have owned it

824
00:56:12.600 --> 00:56:17.840
between them and the Lord. And they're people that I still have connection with or, you know,

825
00:56:19.080 --> 00:56:37.640
and seeing what it is that they're doing. And they really have owned it. So it really is. It's very real. It's not inspirational. It's them owning it and then actually transforming their relationship with the Lord. So anyway, okay, well, love you all. And I will see you on Thursday.

826
00:56:38.720 --> 00:56:39.720
Thank you.

827
00:56:40.640 --> 00:56:41.560
Okay, Shalom.

828
00:56:41.560 --> 00:56:43.080
Shalom.
