Hey there, you did it.
You made it through part two, just not on a big exhale.
I know sometimes it can get a little crazy.
And if that's you, if you're going through the crazy, if the revealing for healing is
strong, you feel like you have all kinds of emotions coming to the surface, maybe you're
starting to think about things that you haven't thought of in years, it's totally normal.
And if you're not feeling anything at all, that's also kind of normal.
I know it's just running the spectrum, but everybody's different and everyone's going
to heal differently.
And if you're taking this with friends, some of you might have signed up with friends.
If you're taking it with a small group, perhaps don't compare yourselves to each other.
It's important that you don't compare the process because everyone is going to heal
differently.
They're going to feel differently.
But it's important that you are feeling something at some point.
And so if you haven't had any revelations, if you haven't had any ahas, if you've just
been going through the material, but you feel numb, I really want to encourage you to stop
here and to go back and to start over.
Now you're not going to get behind because it's not a race.
Okay.
It is not a race.
And so you cannot fall behind.
The only thing that you're going to get at the end of this is a healed, healthy, and
whole heart.
And so you have to make sure that you're doing what's right for you.
So go ahead and go back and just digest the material a little bit more thoroughly.
Take your time.
Read.
Journal the questions.
I know we just want to rush through things.
We live in a culture that just wants us to rush through.
We live in a culture of drive-throughs, and there's just no drive-through breakthrough.
There isn't.
We have to fully show up and be present because God is going to do his part, but we have to
do ours.
And so remember, Holy Spirit is here standing by, waiting to help you to unpack these boxes.
And that's what we're going to talk about as we head into part three.
We're really going to start looking at what is in these boxes.
You probably have already had some things coming to the surface.
Maybe you've started thinking about things that you haven't thought about in years, things
that have happened in your life, maybe things that have happened in your family, perhaps
negative things, and you're wondering, why the heck am I thinking about this?
I should be over this.
Well, the fact that you're thinking about it during this process tells me that there's
some trauma that's hidden in that memory still.
There's something that's causing a problem area in your life in that memory.
And so God wants to help you get to the root of whatever that lie is, that you're believing
because of that thing so that you can be free.
He wants to get you moving forward.
You know, it's easy just to look at what's on the surface of our lives.
We don't realize how surface we are.
We're very surface people.
And the reason why is because we're moving a million miles an hour.
We are.
We never slow down to just take a breath.
And so this is your time.
This entire process is your time to slow down and take a breath, to exhale.
There might be a lot of things that have happened in your life that you never gave yourself
time to process and heal from.
We just stick it right in a box.
I know David and I, that's my husband, we have moved 10 times in the last 15 years.
That's a lot of moving.
And you know, things that were so important that we brought with us by about the sixth
move were like, just throw it away.
And that's where I want you to get to in this process.
There might be things that you're holding on to that you think, oh, you know, I need
to hold on to this, but it's time to get rid of it.
It's time to let it go.
Whether it's good or bad, it's just time to leave it in the past so that we can move forward.
We would pack boxes for those moves and some of those boxes would never even get unpacked.
They wouldn't.
They would just go right into the basement, right into the storage space in the house
that we were going to live in, attic, crawl space.
And then the next time we moved, they would just go right back on the moving truck and
we didn't even know what was in them.
They've been labeled a million times, old boxes.
You borrow boxes from other people when they're moving and who knows what's in that box.
I say in my book that we should label them Pandora's box because we might not want to
open them.
We might not want to know what's in those boxes anymore, but it's time for you to open
those boxes.
Regardless of what's going on in the present, whether right now in your life things are
chaotic or things are peaceful, there's stuff packed away from 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 years ago
perhaps that it's time for you to really address that.
And that's what we're going to do here together as we go into part three.
And I don't want you to be afraid, right?
You're not going to do this on your own.
You have the enabling power of heaven with you.
You have the support of that heavenly community, and you're going to be able to do this in
a way that you would have never been able to do it before.
to do it now than to wait, because there's some big blessings that God has for you.
And in order to step into those, we have to make room for those.
What we make room for happens.
And so don't give up here.
Promise me that you're going to go forward, that you're going to finish strong, that you're going
to go through part three and part four, because it's just going to get better.
It's going to get better, and you're going to have more and more and more revelation
of all of the things that have been holding you back for so very long.
And as we allow those things to be moved out of the way, you're going to make space for all the
big, beautiful things that God has just for you.
Are you ready?
Okay, let's head on over there.
I'll see you in part three.
