WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.920
like that the Lord was still going to provide for me in my business. If that's like, I was like,

2
00:00:03.920 --> 00:00:08.240
if he's going to let, if he wants me to step back, then he's going to find a way to, uh,

3
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:14.880
to provide for me. Okay. Sorry. One more text and then we're done. Yeah. Okay. Um,

4
00:00:15.760 --> 00:00:20.320
and, and then that was the month that I hit the new rank and everything like had record-breaking

5
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:26.960
sales and everything. And I was also with my social media, whatever. Um, and then it's like,

6
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:34.720
it's so hard to explain. There's it's like, for so long, I had all these ideas of how,

7
00:00:34.720 --> 00:00:40.880
of how everything was going to look, you know? And like, I set out to, to prove that I was gonna

8
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:45.520
do this and to reach the top of the company and like all this stuff. And I could never imagine

9
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:50.960
my life without my business or like without Young Living, you know? And actually we, uh, Cheryl and

10
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.440
I just went out last night, Cheryl Fuller, we went out last night to a restaurant and we're

11
00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:02.160
talking about it. And I told her like, I feel like for the first time in my life, I can see

12
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:10.560
that my life would be okay without having it look like I thought it was going to look. And it's

13
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:15.440
kind of, it's kind of scary. Like, I feel like I had all of these dreams and goals and vision and

14
00:01:15.440 --> 00:01:19.680
like so much creativity was coming out of me, like so much life was being poured out of me.

15
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:26.800
And now it feels like that's stopping in a way. Like I still feel so much inside of me,

16
00:01:26.800 --> 00:01:30.560
but I feel like it's not meant to come out of me the same way that it was,

17
00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:36.080
if that makes sense. And it feels frustrating. It feels frustrating to me because I still feel

18
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:43.040
so much inside of me that wants to come out. But then it's like, I can see everything with my

19
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:48.240
business. It's like, I can see the Lord has already showed me like everything that I want

20
00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:52.800
to attain to. It's almost like I have already or that I will, I don't know which one it is.

21
00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:59.440
It's like, I can see it all. I can see everything that I wanted, everything. It's mine. But yet

22
00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:04.160
it's like a house at the end of the lane. And he's like, look, it's there, but just stay here

23
00:02:04.160 --> 00:02:08.400
with me for a little bit. And I'm like, I don't understand. Like, does that mean that I just need

24
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:14.160
to like quit or need to just chill out? But then I'm like, why do I still have so much frustration

25
00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:18.640
inside of me that just wants, something wants to come out of me, but it feels like it's clogged.

26
00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:24.640
I don't know if that makes sense. I feel like there's a, you know how you say that there's

27
00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:30.640
like one outlet into us, into our soul that like the Lord flows through us. And then it all comes

28
00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:34.480
out in different facets of our marriage and finances and business and personal life. And I

29
00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:39.200
feel like everything's flowing except business. Like I feel like marriage is wonderful and finances

30
00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:44.800
are fine and like all these things. And then it's like, there's a dam in my business and it's just

31
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:50.560
cut off, but there's still water flowing out. That's like spilling out over it. Just, I don't

32
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:57.600
know where to put it. Interesting. So that makes, I don't know, like, I don't know what your

33
00:02:57.600 --> 00:03:06.640
perspective would be on that or if that even makes sense. Well, I'm trying to, I'm trying to

34
00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:12.960
get a bit more of a grasp on it, I guess, than I feel like I have right now. So when you say that

35
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:17.520
it's like a house at the end of the line and he says it's there, he's saying, yeah, so it's there

36
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:26.560
and you can have it, but I'm inviting you to stay with me here right now. Or is, or, or what, what

37
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:31.520
was the, what was the, yeah, but you're just here with me right now. Is he saying, yeah, don't go

38
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:37.440
for it yet. Or is he saying, yeah, go for it. Or I can have a different option for you. And he's

39
00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:43.360
asking which one you want. So what are you talking about? I would, I, I told Cheryl last night, it's

40
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:49.120
like a hard no and not like a no, like a mean no. It's like, it's like when I tell Eric, you can't

41
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.720
have candy. It's like, yeah, you could go eat the candy, but it's going to make you sick. Like, I

42
00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:58.000
don't want you to eat that. Got it. Does that make sense? Yes. It's like, I can, it's, it's like,

43
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:02.000
it's all there and it looks wonderful and, and all these things, but yet the Lord's like, no,

44
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:10.960
like don't pursue that. Yeah. Yeah. Does that help? That's exciting. It's so exciting because

45
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:16.000
he's saying, you know, Hey, you have a, it sounds like I'm not, I'm not declaring this, but it,

46
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.760
there's a possibility and you can pursue this in your spirit. You can pursue this with the Lord.

47
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:26.560
What that can, what that can mean is that, you know, you are given an option of the Lord saying,

48
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:31.360
okay, this thing that you want, you've been wondering, you know, can, can this happen?

49
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:37.120
He's like, yes, it can. And it's right there and you can actually do it. You can make that choice

50
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:41.680
and be successful as opposed to making a choice, not being successful. You can make that choice

51
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:47.760
and be successful. Or I have something else. I have another gift for you. Which one do you want?

52
00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:54.000
And it was asked me that before as well. I remember when I got my car, I remember exactly

53
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:59.840
where I was at the time. And the Lord, and I was thinking about this car that I wanted to get.

54
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.360
which is the car I have now.

55
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.800
And he told me, and I kept thinking

56
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.200
about buying a manual, a stick shift.

57
00:05:07.200 --> 00:05:08.840
Well, I'd never owned a stick shift.

58
00:05:08.840 --> 00:05:10.120
I had driven a stick shift,

59
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:11.880
maybe like three times in my life.

60
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.240
And, but the guys that kept trying to sell me on the car,

61
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:17.760
they were just like, okay, by the way,

62
00:05:17.760 --> 00:05:18.840
cause I was asking the difference

63
00:05:18.840 --> 00:05:20.160
between a manual and an automatic.

64
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.120
And they said, you know, for a car like this,

65
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.800
you really want, I recommend that you buy the manual

66
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:25.960
because you'll feel so,

67
00:05:25.960 --> 00:05:29.240
because people drive this car to feel like they're driving.

68
00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:31.160
And they feel like they're driving a lot more

69
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.440
with a manual than with an automatic.

70
00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:36.560
So I kept having this idea in my mind of a manual.

71
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.280
Well, I'd never wanted a manual before.

72
00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:42.240
And so finally God said, I asked the Lord,

73
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.280
Lord, just a second,

74
00:05:44.280 --> 00:05:47.000
is the reason why I keep thinking about this

75
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.880
because you, and is that you in your spirit

76
00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:53.200
planting something in me and an idea in me

77
00:05:53.200 --> 00:05:54.480
and you want me to pursue it?

78
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:58.120
And he, and, or is this just something out of my imagination?

79
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.040
And the Lord very clearly told me, he said,

80
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.200
Ashley, you can get an automatic if you want to.

81
00:06:03.200 --> 00:06:05.800
And, and it, I will still give you the car

82
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:08.240
and it'll be, and you will love it.

83
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:12.760
He said, but he said, you could get a manual if you'd like.

84
00:06:12.760 --> 00:06:15.720
And he said, I would like to give that to you as a gift.

85
00:06:16.640 --> 00:06:19.120
It's like, well, that is an interesting phrase,

86
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.360
you know, that he would want to give me the manual

87
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.360
instead of the automatic as a gift.

88
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.080
So I knew, excuse me,

89
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.320
can you believe, I just took some, some pills

90
00:06:32.320 --> 00:06:34.440
and I forgot that I didn't have enough on my stomach

91
00:06:34.440 --> 00:06:36.400
to keep me from being nauseated.

92
00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:40.120
And, and so when I sneeze when I'm nauseated.

93
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.520
Well, if you need to go grab food, go grab something.

94
00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:45.480
Seriously, I don't mind at all.

95
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.200
If you want to go grab a bite to eat.

96
00:06:47.200 --> 00:06:50.240
Yeah, I mean, I just kind of like grab like a little bit

97
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:51.080
of bread or something.

98
00:06:51.080 --> 00:06:53.120
I thought that the milk I had tonight was enough

99
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:53.960
and it's not.

100
00:06:55.280 --> 00:06:56.600
You sneeze when you're nauseous.

101
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.080
Now I've never heard that one before.

102
00:06:58.080 --> 00:06:59.920
Isn't that wild?

103
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:02.520
I just discovered that about, I don't know,

104
00:07:02.520 --> 00:07:03.360
like a year ago.

105
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.520
So, so I think I will go grab like something.

106
00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:11.280
So my, my point is that it may be

107
00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:13.960
that God is giving you an option

108
00:07:13.960 --> 00:07:18.960
and he's saying, excuse me, that you can do either.

109
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:24.800
But if you take, but, but he has an unknown

110
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.320
or in other, in other words, unknown to you right now

111
00:07:28.320 --> 00:07:31.880
option that he would like to gift you with

112
00:07:31.880 --> 00:07:34.880
because it's better.

113
00:07:34.880 --> 00:07:36.080
I say better, you know?

114
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:40.600
And so does that make sense?

115
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.440
But it's still currently an unknown for you.

116
00:07:45.440 --> 00:07:46.920
That's why, and it can feel frustrating

117
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:48.120
because you're like, wait a minute, you know,

118
00:07:48.280 --> 00:07:50.440
I have so much in me, Lord.

119
00:07:50.440 --> 00:07:51.920
And if you're telling me you want me

120
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.840
to do something different, what would that be?

121
00:07:56.280 --> 00:07:59.280
And because I feel that, you know,

122
00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:03.120
I could pursue this other and that's where my crew

123
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.880
and be successful, my creative,

124
00:08:05.880 --> 00:08:08.600
the creative aspect of my spirit can be flowing.

125
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:15.560
And, but, but it feels like if you're, if that's,

126
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.320
if you're encouraging me to say no to that,

127
00:08:18.320 --> 00:08:19.640
then what would the option be?

128
00:08:19.640 --> 00:08:22.800
Because until then, Lord, it feels stifled.

129
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.400
It feels like, you know, it feels,

130
00:08:28.640 --> 00:08:32.039
there's an aspect of living out of the spirit, Lord,

131
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:33.520
where I feel alive.

132
00:08:33.520 --> 00:08:35.760
And I feel that, you know, like you said,

133
00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:39.280
that the dam is just, is stopped up.

134
00:08:39.280 --> 00:08:44.200
So it's, I mean, it sounds exciting to me.

135
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.520
And yes, it's possible to be under,

136
00:08:46.520 --> 00:08:51.520
to feel all of those things and not have an answer yet.

137
00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:55.240
Like, okay, God, if you're recommending, you know,

138
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:58.520
not do this, then what, where else are we going to go?

139
00:08:58.520 --> 00:09:01.280
And because I feel like I have all of this water

140
00:09:01.280 --> 00:09:02.120
flowing out of me.

141
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.400
But the exciting thing about that as well

142
00:09:04.400 --> 00:09:07.200
is the fact that having all of that in you

143
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:12.200
and feeling it, it will, that aspect of frustration.

144
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.320
Okay, how, okay.

145
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:17.440
Continuing with the analogy of water.

146
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.600
Water, it will find a way to do what it needs to do.

147
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:24.960
It will find a way to flow.

148
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:29.440
It'll find a way to, so kind of like similar to the idea

149
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.000
of necessity is the mother of invention.

150
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:33.720
If you are feeling frustrated,

151
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:35.280
if God has given you something

152
00:09:35.280 --> 00:09:38.640
and that spirit is meant to move and to flow,

153
00:09:38.680 --> 00:09:43.600
you being in a, feeling frustrated and feeling this,

154
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.800
feeling this pressure, so to speak, is a good thing

155
00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:51.800
because you're more likely to find and to explore options

156
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:57.520
and to explore options and to find the next thing.

157
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:00.320
Feeling the pressure.

158
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:09.360
I don't know what I'm doing with my life and I don't really know what makes me feel alive

159
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:10.360
and whatever.

160
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:17.800
Well, then sometimes things like that, there's so much lethargy in it that we don't have

161
00:10:17.800 --> 00:10:23.320
that pressure building up that will naturally find a way out.

162
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:28.960
So I mean, I know it doesn't feel fun, trust me, I'm very aware of that.

163
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:36.520
But as far as like potential for moving in a particular direction, I think it's very

164
00:10:36.520 --> 00:10:37.520
exciting.

165
00:10:37.520 --> 00:10:45.200
I think it's a really good place that you're at, meaning like there is full of possibilities.

166
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.440
And remember that in the trees in the garden, there were a lot, there were a lot of trees

167
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:49.440
in the garden.

168
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:54.400
And so in other words, who knows what it is that the Lord has for you and what you could

169
00:10:54.400 --> 00:10:55.400
do with it.

170
00:10:56.400 --> 00:11:04.400
You can do, you can do, there's been, there's another person in the group that I'm thinking

171
00:11:04.400 --> 00:11:12.680
of very specifically that I had, that I visited with a month ago.

172
00:11:12.680 --> 00:11:18.800
And they were wondering, well, what is it that I want to do?

173
00:11:18.800 --> 00:11:22.600
And I just, you know, and so I just encouraged them, you know, well, think about it, you

174
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.560
know, what, what makes you come alive?

175
00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:30.200
What is it about what it is you're currently doing that you enjoy, forgetting what it is

176
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.040
that you don't enjoy right now?

177
00:11:32.040 --> 00:11:33.760
What is it that you do enjoy?

178
00:11:33.760 --> 00:11:38.200
And what are possible ways that that can come out?

179
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:43.640
And it doesn't have to be traditional, you know, that whole idea of like thinking outside

180
00:11:43.640 --> 00:11:44.640
the box.

181
00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:50.800
So I recommend going back and looking at, oh, what is it?

182
00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:57.360
Is it, I think it's making goals from a place of rest.

183
00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:58.360
And what is that?

184
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:00.600
Oh, I don't remember which session that is.

185
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:04.800
I think it's a session that specifically has the word goals in it.

186
00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:10.360
And I would recommend looking at that, that because in that I talked about how to, how

187
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:16.680
to not stifle our creative thinking when we're trying to come up with ideas that we've never

188
00:12:16.680 --> 00:12:25.280
come up with before and how to not judge the creativity, not to judge, not to think,

189
00:12:25.280 --> 00:12:30.400
not to immediately dismiss ideas that pop up and bubble up and determine and put a label

190
00:12:30.400 --> 00:12:31.400
on them.

191
00:12:31.400 --> 00:12:37.280
Like don't label things, creative ideas that come up that are traditional or aren't traditional

192
00:12:37.280 --> 00:12:40.640
and think, oh, well, this is good or this is bad, or I know that this will work.

193
00:12:40.640 --> 00:12:43.800
I don't know that this will work or I've known since third grade, since my teacher told me

194
00:12:43.800 --> 00:12:44.800
that that doesn't work.

195
00:12:44.800 --> 00:12:47.240
And I've known by experience, this doesn't work.

196
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.880
That's judging things and it stifles creativity.

197
00:12:49.880 --> 00:12:55.000
So if we come up with an idea that quote unquote, isn't going to work, just let it sit there

198
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.400
without labeling it that, oh, it won't work.

199
00:12:57.400 --> 00:13:00.440
And then you're more like, and then you just, and then you just brainstorm.

200
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:04.680
And by brainstorm, I don't mean necessarily in your head, which obviously it can be part

201
00:13:04.680 --> 00:13:09.360
of the process, but it's, it's like a brainstorming of your spirit.

202
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.600
You're just allow your spirit to move and all these ideas just kind of bubble up.

203
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:20.880
And then you just kind of, and without judging them, you're more likely to move ahead faster.

204
00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:27.400
Coming up with an idea of like, well, how, what new outlet can I find?

205
00:13:27.400 --> 00:13:30.760
So does all that make sense?

206
00:13:30.760 --> 00:13:33.480
Yeah, no, that makes sense.

207
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:34.480
That makes sense.

208
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:42.200
And I, it's comforting to know, like, it resonates with me that there is an unknown, like, I

209
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:44.680
don't doubt that there is something else that the Lord's going to bring.

210
00:13:44.680 --> 00:13:46.720
And when he does, I'm going to be like, that's it.

211
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.800
Like, I know that that's what it is.

212
00:13:48.800 --> 00:13:55.600
And it's comforting to know I can be OK with from the here to then, if that makes sense.

213
00:13:55.600 --> 00:14:04.960
Like the, you know, the waiting of it and to not to not feel like I can't do what I'm

214
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:11.360
meant to do or like that I'm that my spirit can't still flow out of me.

215
00:14:11.520 --> 00:14:12.520
You know what I mean?

216
00:14:12.520 --> 00:14:16.440
Like, if there isn't a specific avenue, then I can't do anything type of thing.

217
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:25.520
But to know that it's just OK, you know, the waiting and the and whatever, I mean, whatever

218
00:14:25.520 --> 00:14:29.280
may be happening, it feels fine to me.

219
00:14:29.280 --> 00:14:31.600
And I'm not used to it.

220
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:37.040
It almost feels like, I don't know, I've never felt like this way in life before.

221
00:14:37.040 --> 00:14:42.840
And it kind of scares me because it feels so.

222
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:48.320
I see who I was when I was in business, and I feel like I was so, like, driven and motivated.

223
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:51.840
Like, I feel myself changing almost.

224
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:56.660
It feels it feels really weird.

225
00:14:56.660 --> 00:14:59.280
And sometimes I just I think I just need to be reassured that.

226
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.000
It's okay.

227
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:07.300
You know, all of the, the change and everything, because it's like, Oh my word.

228
00:15:07.300 --> 00:15:11.080
If somebody would have told me a year ago that I would even be considering like not

229
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:14.620
being in Young Living anymore and like not doing my business the way I thought it was

230
00:15:14.620 --> 00:15:16.700
like I would have lost my mind.

231
00:15:16.700 --> 00:15:19.700
I would have lost it.

232
00:15:19.700 --> 00:15:28.340
And like to feel that I can even have the possibility of thinking and exploring other

233
00:15:28.340 --> 00:15:32.660
options is really exciting because I've, I've never felt this way.

234
00:15:32.660 --> 00:15:33.660
Never.

235
00:15:33.660 --> 00:15:39.980
I've never felt safe enough to feel like, like I'm not failing if I don't do Young Living,

236
00:15:39.980 --> 00:15:40.980
you know?

237
00:15:40.980 --> 00:15:41.980
Correct.

238
00:15:41.980 --> 00:15:42.980
Yeah.

239
00:15:42.980 --> 00:15:43.980
And I'm sorry.

240
00:15:43.980 --> 00:15:45.820
Would you let me use the restroom?

241
00:15:45.820 --> 00:15:46.820
I'm sorry.

242
00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:47.820
I keep interrupting your conversation.

243
00:15:47.820 --> 00:15:48.820
I'm so sorry.

244
00:15:48.820 --> 00:16:03.820
The only reason why I'm actually explaining such an embarrassing thing is I'm just like,

245
00:16:03.820 --> 00:16:07.060
I don't want her to think that I just like, I'm sorry, I've got something else I need

246
00:16:07.060 --> 00:16:08.380
to do for a second.

247
00:16:08.380 --> 00:16:34.700
It really is an embarrassing thing, I'll be right back.

248
00:18:05.700 --> 00:18:12.820
Okay, sorry about that.

249
00:18:12.820 --> 00:18:14.820
Totally fine.

250
00:18:14.820 --> 00:18:20.340
So I'm really excited to hear everything that you're telling me because I mean, that's,

251
00:18:20.340 --> 00:18:26.860
you know, it's, it shows that, you know, you've owned all of this, you've really have shifted.

252
00:18:26.860 --> 00:18:34.300
And so all of these things inside you that were structured around your old sense of identity,

253
00:18:34.300 --> 00:18:39.860
you know, excuse me, and they, they're no longer in alignment with who it is you really

254
00:18:39.860 --> 00:18:40.860
are.

255
00:18:40.860 --> 00:18:44.300
So they're all trying to adjust according to who it is that God has declared you to

256
00:18:44.300 --> 00:18:45.300
be.

257
00:18:45.300 --> 00:18:47.860
So there's going to be, you know, all this shifting of like, well, I'm in a place that

258
00:18:47.860 --> 00:18:48.860
I've never been in before.

259
00:18:48.860 --> 00:18:51.860
And I've never, I never thought about it like this and whatever.

260
00:18:51.860 --> 00:18:52.860
It's freedom.

261
00:18:52.860 --> 00:19:02.380
It's, it's, it's us being able to learn to operate in a way in which we're not fettered

262
00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:03.460
to something.

263
00:19:03.460 --> 00:19:04.460
Excuse me.

264
00:19:04.460 --> 00:19:07.460
That's a good Rebecca word, right?

265
00:19:07.460 --> 00:19:08.460
Fettered.

266
00:19:08.460 --> 00:19:19.700
Meaning like, we learned that one, that we're not fettered anymore to, and you know, and

267
00:19:19.700 --> 00:19:28.060
enslaved to the, how do I explain it?

268
00:19:28.060 --> 00:19:33.420
The ways that we have believed that things had to be because of, you know, of our schooling

269
00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:35.420
or our, our church or our whatever.

270
00:19:35.420 --> 00:19:38.860
And so it's kind of like all of a sudden, when we realized there's actually a world

271
00:19:38.860 --> 00:19:44.940
of possibilities, well then how would we live as opposed to being, being dictated to by

272
00:19:44.940 --> 00:19:50.460
our environment when we're actually, actually supposed to dictate to the environment, the

273
00:19:50.460 --> 00:19:54.380
laws and the rules by which it should operate.

274
00:19:54.380 --> 00:19:59.900
And it's, and it's, and it's shifting from being submitted to and subjected to.

275
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.460
laws and rules and realizing that we're above them,

276
00:20:03.460 --> 00:20:05.520
we tell them what they should look like.

277
00:20:05.520 --> 00:20:08.920
If they don't look like something that in us thinks,

278
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:10.680
you know what, something's not quite right here.

279
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:12.620
It's because it's not right.

280
00:20:12.620 --> 00:20:16.080
And we're supposed to govern them in order to,

281
00:20:16.080 --> 00:20:17.320
coming into alignment with what,

282
00:20:17.320 --> 00:20:19.920
who God says that he is and believing with,

283
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:21.220
in believing in him,

284
00:20:21.220 --> 00:20:24.080
then we declare it to be something totally different

285
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:26.880
than what it is that we're seeing this for.

286
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:28.360
And that's why whatever's going on,

287
00:20:28.360 --> 00:20:30.280
it's like, this doesn't feel right.

288
00:20:30.280 --> 00:20:31.760
Well, because it's, you know,

289
00:20:31.760 --> 00:20:34.440
so often it's like, because it's not right,

290
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:36.900
but it's only able to manifest what it is

291
00:20:36.900 --> 00:20:41.900
that we have believed in our enslaved state thus far.

292
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.560
So anyway, it's very exciting.

293
00:20:44.560 --> 00:20:45.560
It's very exciting.

294
00:20:45.560 --> 00:20:48.000
And I'm thrilled, you know,

295
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.320
that you think that you feel, you know, released from that.

296
00:20:52.320 --> 00:20:55.440
Some ideas are not that you're asking about this,

297
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:56.880
but it's just some things to keep

298
00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:59.160
in the back of your mind.

299
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:01.560
It could be that,

300
00:21:01.560 --> 00:21:06.560
and you might say that no, God,

301
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.160
you can feel that it is,

302
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:13.480
that God is like saying no to all of young living, period.

303
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:15.680
But another possibility, again, you know,

304
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.240
I'm being creative and not judging ideas,

305
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.680
is I would just encourage you to also be open

306
00:21:23.120 --> 00:21:28.120
to maybe God saying that,

307
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:30.760
well, yeah, it can be, it's still in young,

308
00:21:30.760 --> 00:21:32.720
it can still be on young living,

309
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:35.200
but it's going to be totally different

310
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:40.200
from how it's you have you and maybe Cheryl

311
00:21:43.760 --> 00:21:45.480
and maybe anybody else

312
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.560
has run a young living business before.

313
00:21:48.560 --> 00:21:51.800
So, and therefore your spirit will flow out

314
00:21:51.800 --> 00:21:53.800
in a very untraditional way,

315
00:21:53.800 --> 00:21:55.160
but it's still within young living.

316
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:56.480
That may not be what he's saying.

317
00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.640
I'm just, the only reason that I wanted to point that out

318
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:02.560
is whether or not it has to do with this situation.

319
00:22:02.560 --> 00:22:05.160
It might have to do with another situation

320
00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:08.120
that you'll run into in life, personal or professional,

321
00:22:08.120 --> 00:22:10.280
where when God says no,

322
00:22:10.280 --> 00:22:14.400
we should keep our view open to understand

323
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:17.840
it might not necessarily be no

324
00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:19.600
to what it is that we're in.

325
00:22:20.520 --> 00:22:23.160
It might be no to how it is we're doing it

326
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:25.000
and that that's going to end up changing

327
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:26.200
and that we're thinking, well, wait a minute,

328
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:29.000
the only way to get results in X, Y, and Z

329
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:31.440
is to do it this way.

330
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:34.000
And God's like, no, that's what everybody else thinks.

331
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.760
And so just wanted to mention that

332
00:22:37.760 --> 00:22:41.080
because even if you think, oh, no, no, no,

333
00:22:41.080 --> 00:22:43.840
it's very obvious God is saying no to young living,

334
00:22:43.840 --> 00:22:48.840
just the idea that he could possibly not feel

335
00:22:49.600 --> 00:22:51.920
that he could not be talking about young living

336
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:53.560
and could be talking about other,

337
00:22:53.560 --> 00:22:58.000
could be talking about how to continue to do young living,

338
00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:59.320
but do it in a different way.

339
00:22:59.320 --> 00:23:02.080
Just simply the idea, even if you automatically know,

340
00:23:02.080 --> 00:23:03.440
oh yeah, but I know that that's not true

341
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:05.080
because I know what God's saying.

342
00:23:05.080 --> 00:23:08.720
Even if it's not true, just the idea of that possibility

343
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:11.280
broadens our horizons and broadens our creativity

344
00:23:11.280 --> 00:23:13.480
to consider other options outside of young living.

345
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:16.320
Just the idea that we're not even limited to

346
00:23:16.320 --> 00:23:17.960
it's young living, yes or no,

347
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:20.080
but that God, when he's guiding us,

348
00:23:20.080 --> 00:23:22.080
it can just mean no doing what we're doing

349
00:23:22.080 --> 00:23:24.160
and it just in a different way.

350
00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:26.440
So I just mentioned that to kind of like, again,

351
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.240
broaden the horizons and the box

352
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:32.360
in which you can creatively think

353
00:23:32.360 --> 00:23:34.160
and explore and dream with the Lord.

354
00:23:35.600 --> 00:23:37.040
That makes sense.

355
00:23:37.040 --> 00:23:38.600
Yeah.

356
00:23:38.600 --> 00:23:43.600
And then one other thing too is I have so many women

357
00:23:44.080 --> 00:23:46.680
who are trying to launch their business

358
00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:50.440
and who are looking to me for leadership and help.

359
00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:55.440
How can I lead them when literally like the thought

360
00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:01.400
of trying to help them with the logistics

361
00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:05.520
of their business, like I can't even describe

362
00:24:05.520 --> 00:24:07.920
how morbidly dreadful that sounds.

363
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:12.640
Like the other night I had a girl call.

364
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:14.760
She had some questions about like launching her business

365
00:24:14.760 --> 00:24:16.880
and I was like, yeah, like we'll hop on a Zoom call.

366
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:19.120
And like literally everything was working against me

367
00:24:19.120 --> 00:24:22.040
and I knew, I knew it wasn't from my spirit.

368
00:24:22.040 --> 00:24:24.280
Like it was absolutely like the kids woke up

369
00:24:24.280 --> 00:24:27.000
and the kids cried and then her baby woke up

370
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:27.920
and I'm like, forget it.

371
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:29.520
Like this is not working.

372
00:24:29.520 --> 00:24:32.120
And then we rescheduled for another night,

373
00:24:32.120 --> 00:24:34.760
but I was like, I know, I know that this is 100%

374
00:24:34.760 --> 00:24:37.000
not out of my spirit whatsoever.

375
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.360
And every single minute, like I couldn't focus on the call.

376
00:24:40.360 --> 00:24:42.880
I couldn't, and she was saying like, it was very helpful

377
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:45.080
and everything was fine on her end,

378
00:24:45.080 --> 00:24:48.760
but I felt like I couldn't even gather my thoughts.

379
00:24:48.760 --> 00:24:51.320
Like nothing, nothing was flowing whatsoever.

380
00:24:51.320 --> 00:24:53.320
And I was like, I know, I know this isn't what I'm supposed

381
00:24:53.320 --> 00:24:55.720
to be doing, but I can't leave them

382
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:57.600
when they're looking to me for leadership,

383
00:24:57.600 --> 00:24:58.440
if that makes sense.

384
00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:00.080
Like they don't have anyone else.

385
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.600
turn to, unless I would like, I don't know, connect them with my

386
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:08.640
upline upline or my, I don't know, like, how do I navigate

387
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:12.240
like, that whole thing, when they're looking to me for

388
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.400
leadership, but the act of the things that they're looking for

389
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:16.960
me to do feels like death.

390
00:25:17.520 --> 00:25:18.000
Yeah.

391
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:22.240
Well, I don't, I don't know how it works in Young Living when

392
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:25.320
someone leaves and what happens to all the people underneath

393
00:25:25.320 --> 00:25:27.400
them. I'm assuming that they just get absorbed by the

394
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:29.640
upline, but I don't know that. Is that what happens? Yeah.

395
00:25:31.120 --> 00:25:34.960
And so, as far as if you're talking about, you know, how to

396
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:39.640
transition, God will take care of people and they're not your

397
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:43.320
responsibility if God's telling you to leave, but what to do in

398
00:25:43.320 --> 00:25:45.640
the truth. So they're, they're always the Lord's, they're not

399
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:50.600
yours. And even if they're, even if, even if you were to stay in

400
00:25:50.600 --> 00:25:55.200
Young Living, they're not yours. So God can continue to take care

401
00:25:55.200 --> 00:26:01.840
of them. But as far as like a transition, what and what to do

402
00:26:01.840 --> 00:26:06.880
in the transition, what you can do is, you know, if there's a

403
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:09.800
transition of like, between you and then maybe these other

404
00:26:09.800 --> 00:26:12.480
people, I mean, you know, like, say the upline or whatever,

405
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:15.800
whoever you're passing them on to, you can, what I would

406
00:26:15.800 --> 00:26:18.200
recommend is the same thing that I've recommended, you know, to

407
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:20.640
Priscilla when she has talked, you know, she's asked in the

408
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:23.680
community Q&As, she's asked questions like this. And I

409
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:26.560
recommended the same thing to her. And then to other people

410
00:26:26.560 --> 00:26:32.960
who've asked me, is always speak into who it is that they are in

411
00:26:33.120 --> 00:26:36.560
in, in the Lord, and see them in the spirit, just like we're in

412
00:26:36.560 --> 00:26:39.080
the spirit. And the only way to see somebody else in the spirit

413
00:26:39.280 --> 00:26:42.360
is if we see ourselves like that. So we put on our own

414
00:26:42.360 --> 00:26:45.880
oxygen mask first, remember who it is that God says that we, we

415
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.800
are, and then understand that those people are one with Christ

416
00:26:48.800 --> 00:26:54.680
just like we are. Then we can, you know, for believers, then,

417
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:59.120
it then if we're speaking to that person, it's encouraging

418
00:26:59.120 --> 00:27:02.240
them to rise up to who it is that they already are, it's not

419
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:05.240
making them and encouraging them to become something that they're

420
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:08.520
not, it's speaking to who it is that they are, and then letting

421
00:27:08.520 --> 00:27:16.000
them and and empowering them in conversations to, by you by you

422
00:27:16.040 --> 00:27:20.200
loving them by you believing in them by you not by what you say,

423
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:23.400
but actually truly believing in them, because you're giving

424
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:28.000
you're imparting your spirit, then they can have the choice of

425
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:30.360
how they want to respond. And they can choose whether or not

426
00:27:30.360 --> 00:27:32.840
they want to rise to that position. And then they can come

427
00:27:32.840 --> 00:27:35.560
up with their own tips, tricks and strategies. Sure, if you

428
00:27:35.560 --> 00:27:38.480
want, you can pass them stuff along periodically, if it pops

429
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:42.160
in. But if you do that, it's a lot less strenuous. And it's a

430
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:45.720
lot less like death. Now, yes, there is still an element that

431
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.840
if someone hasn't been given to us specifically, it can still

432
00:27:48.840 --> 00:27:53.920
feel like something's not working here, you know, but just

433
00:27:53.920 --> 00:28:03.720
as far as as far as if, if you're if you're in the

434
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:08.320
situation you're in, where to find the greatest, the least

435
00:28:08.320 --> 00:28:11.880
amount of effort and operating greatest amount of rest, and

436
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:16.640
still meet someone's need, the ultimate need is honestly in

437
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:20.360
speaking to their true identity. And then they'll naturally want

438
00:28:20.360 --> 00:28:23.240
to, people just need to know that they're believed in people

439
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:26.600
just need to know that they can have a right and permission to

440
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:31.040
be who they are, you know, and to, and that they come up with

441
00:28:31.040 --> 00:28:35.080
good ideas and that they can come up with good. Oh, sorry, my

442
00:28:35.080 --> 00:28:37.400
next person is already in the

443
00:28:38.080 --> 00:28:41.400
that's totally fine. If you have to go. No, that's totally fine.

444
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:44.400
I am. I have to get ready before too long to go to my

445
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:45.240
weekend. Thank you.

446
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:52.120
Josh told Eric that mommy's leaving and that when I leave

447
00:28:52.120 --> 00:28:54.520
that they're gonna rock and roll. And so he's like, mommy,

448
00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:56.360
mommy, are we gonna rock and roll now?

449
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.240
Oh, that's sweet. How cute.

450
00:28:59.800 --> 00:29:02.520
But if that's totally fine, if you have to go, I can maybe

451
00:29:02.520 --> 00:29:05.880
follow up on like Mongo Polo or something. If I think, if I

452
00:29:05.880 --> 00:29:07.920
think of things, or if there's something where I'm like, oh,

453
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:09.840
shoot, like, I really wanted to ask you that, like, would that

454
00:29:09.840 --> 00:29:13.040
be okay? If I would maybe just, yeah, over there.

455
00:29:13.600 --> 00:29:15.960
Yeah. And like, go ahead.

456
00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:19.440
Like I said, I'll be gone like all weekend. So take your time

457
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:22.720
and responding. I know you have lots of people you interact with

458
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:27.520
and lots of stuff. So don't feel stressed. Getting back to my

459
00:29:27.520 --> 00:29:28.200
phone is dying.

460
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:35.000
Yeah. And also the I just saw earlier the you were really

461
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:38.360
sweet to for what it is that you sent through PayPal. It was so

462
00:29:38.360 --> 00:29:39.360
very thoughtful.

463
00:29:40.040 --> 00:29:43.680
No, you're very welcome. I appreciate your guidance in

464
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:47.920
situations like this. Of course, of course, I appreciate your

465
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:53.920
time. So I continue to sow into rest and and the message and it

466
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:57.600
helps. And it just I don't know that the Lord honors that. And

467
00:29:57.600 --> 00:29:59.440
so I honor that. So thank you so much.

468
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.000
Yeah, you're okay. You want to say hi to Ashley? Hi.

469
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:05.000
Hi Betty! Hi!

470
00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:07.000
You can rock and roll.

471
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:09.000
Are you going to rock and roll now?

472
00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:11.000
Yeah.

473
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:13.000
Okay, well I'll let you go.

474
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:15.000
Thank you.

475
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:17.000
I will let you go. See ya.
