00:00:04.540 --> 00:00:07.200
So, how, how are.

2
00:00:08.540 --> 00:00:09.240
Thank you.

3
00:00:10.380 --> 00:00:29.200
I was just going to ask before I get into my, my vehicle. How, how are things in, in your world I know you just recently had a conversation with Ray that was pretty profound and he didn't go into all of the details with me but just kind

4
00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:37.720
of wanted to check in with you and see, see what's going on in your world. Yeah, my world is being flipped upside down and then I decided to get two kittens.

5
00:00:39.220 --> 00:00:44.580
Oh, and one of them is at the vet, the second time in four days so.

6
00:00:45.580 --> 00:00:51.480
Oh, so my heart is hurting but it's I'm just I just have to trust God there's there's something.

7
00:00:52.340 --> 00:01:07.920
And the irony of it is I literally asked a vet, I used to use to send my pets home to heaven she would come to my house and euthanize them in my home, so they were resting, you know they weren't nervous.

8
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:08.640


9
00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:16.860
And with that I asked her I said, do you that's really know what's going on with cats or dogs, she goes no.

10
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:36.760
So, it's the animal can't tell them what hurts what doesn't hurt like us humans can have conversations were animals, they're a lot of time. Yes, they have skills yes they have knowledge and based on symptoms and poking and prodding on the animals.

11
00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:41.140
They can generally get a good idea but overall.

12
00:01:42.700 --> 00:01:43.380
They don't know.

13
00:01:44.180 --> 00:01:59.400
You know, I, as I'm sure you are too. I'm a firm believer that when it's your time it's your time, whether it's men and women or animals or any species right when it's your time it's your time.

14
00:02:00.340 --> 00:02:02.900
But if you, if it's not time.

15
00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:16.280
Obviously the power of prayer and the power of healing, and the power of love in your heart transfer to there so I'll tell you a funny story that's wild and, you know, I would.

16
00:02:17.100 --> 00:02:22.140
I might share it publicly because I just don't care but some people would think it's weird but I know you won't.

17
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.060
I, I had this bunny.

18
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:27.860
This rabbit.

19
00:02:28.260 --> 00:02:39.620
And he was like, so cute sweetest little bunny, and a little animal that just you know like a baby they put us in charge of their entire world and we're in charge of keeping them alive.

20
00:02:39.620 --> 00:02:41.180
So I have this bunny.

21
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:48.560
And the kids were obsessed with this funny I mean it would let them crawl on them I was like a little human.

22
00:02:50.040 --> 00:02:57.500
And one day I go in and just out of the blue out of nowhere this bunny is on his deathbed. I mean he is just.

23
00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:00.760
He's barely breathing. I mean he looks.

24
00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:08.560
He looks dead. I mean he just life out of them.

25
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.280
And I am holding him.

26
00:03:13.020 --> 00:03:28.220
And I'm just praying and praying and praying, I mean he just he was on his last breath, no question he even stopped breathing for a time, and I'm holding him and I'm just feeling the love into this bunny.

27
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:36.440
And I just trusted God and I just laid him down and said okay you know I'll handle it in the morning.

28
00:03:37.100 --> 00:03:48.680
And I felt like light come over me and I felt, I just felt so much love in that moment and it's the same feeling I had when I forgave my mom for everything that she had been going through.

29
00:03:48.680 --> 00:04:01.220
And so I laid the bunny down, expecting to have a conversation with the kids in the morning. And in the morning, he was hopping around like nothing had happened.

30
00:04:02.060 --> 00:04:03.840
Everything was just a okay.

31
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:22.940
So, that's not a promise or a guarantee, but just food for thought to try with your animals and just certainly can't hurt. It'll only help, and just, you know, you're doing everything else that you can.

32
00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:25.860
So, just felt like I should share that.

33
00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:32.040
Thank you. And yes, and I agree with you. And you brought up a valid point of that forgiveness.

34
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:44.800
And that's, that's a lot I need to work on my conversation was Ray wasn't forgiveness. I've had too deep. I had to want the one on one with him a week ago.

35
00:04:46.140 --> 00:04:50.640
And basically I'm not supposed to do network marketing at least with the companies I've been doing.

36
00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:59.780
And I'm supposed to focus on a book title that God gave me 10 years ago.

37
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:08.240
it's called and I the my chiropractor who was a Messianic Jew gave me the

38
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:12.620
title he said God wants you to write a book on this and I'm like thinking

39
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:18.140
myself you're crazy you know I don't know how to write a book I still don't

40
00:05:18.780 --> 00:05:24.720
with that I I wrote it down he told me write it on an envelope and mail it to

41
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:29.580
myself so no one can steal it that is my trademark I'm like oh I didn't know

42
00:05:29.580 --> 00:05:36.480
that's legal he goes go do it so I did it I have the envelope trademarked and

43
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:44.580
it's called junk to jewels oh that's catchy I love that yeah what's the

44
00:05:45.540 --> 00:05:54.900
premise well I'm my heart is feeling that it's because my entire life I have

45
00:05:54.900 --> 00:06:04.280
been made to feel that I'm not wanted by family mainly and in people that I

46
00:06:04.280 --> 00:06:10.200
engaged with is very toxic and I've invested so much time and so much money

47
00:06:10.320 --> 00:06:15.520
with business coaches and psychiatrists and everything since I was 13 years old

48
00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:19.560
when I had a bleeding ulcer in the hospital because I worry too much yeah

49
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:26.540
my life has been a whirlwind and I'm to the point where I'm like okay I've had

50
00:06:26.540 --> 00:06:33.980
Jesus for 20 years God I want I want that connection with God to the point

51
00:06:33.980 --> 00:06:43.080
where I trust him with everything and the event for our our mentorship group

52
00:06:43.080 --> 00:06:49.820
here that happened last week whatever day of the week it was I mean Dion

53
00:06:49.820 --> 00:06:59.140
talked about holy trusting in God and he talked about oh the Sheila Sheila might

54
00:07:00.060 --> 00:07:11.440
woman and as he was telling the story of the woman and how the king drove by and

55
00:07:11.760 --> 00:07:15.780
and held out his hand to her and she looked up and it was the man that wanted

56
00:07:15.780 --> 00:07:22.920
to marry her she didn't know he was the king it was in my heart my whole being

57
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:31.120
just melted as I sat here and listened to his story and went that's me

58
00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:42.160
and I want that trust and I just simply have to believe that in in rebuke and

59
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:47.360
just bind all those negative thoughts that I've been taught since I was a

60
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:57.620
little kid and it is 62 that's a lot of thoughts yeah I I know I can do it

61
00:07:57.620 --> 00:08:01.520
because I'm a believer and I trust in God

62
00:08:04.320 --> 00:08:09.100
but then I keep it's like I feel like I'm going back and forth and back and

63
00:08:09.100 --> 00:08:16.120
forth I feel feel like a ping-pong ball and I'm like no but you know and that's

64
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:22.340
okay I get it it's it has to come to a point where I truly I guess I make that

65
00:08:22.340 --> 00:08:30.340
as they say decision and just believe and I'm not sure why I keep going back

66
00:08:30.340 --> 00:08:37.280
to the negative when I know for a fact in my mind and I trust in God I gave my

67
00:08:37.280 --> 00:08:44.300
life to him 20 years ago but why how I can get rid of these thoughts permanently

68
00:08:44.300 --> 00:08:48.960
I don't know if it's a permanent thing it's not I mean I would just get rid of

69
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:53.780
that right now because there's not a human soul on the planet who doesn't

70
00:08:53.780 --> 00:08:59.040
have negative thoughts even Graham Cooke has them he just knows what to do with

71
00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:05.720
them and so you've like you said you know you've had 60 years of training in

72
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:10.020
the opposite direction to a degree I mean obviously that's coupled with with

73
00:09:10.100 --> 00:09:17.440
other other train other good training and good practices but you it's a daily

74
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:23.400
it's a daily thing it's it's even sometimes a minute-by-minute thing

75
00:09:23.400 --> 00:09:30.800
depending on the day that we're having and the last thing that God would want

76
00:09:30.800 --> 00:09:38.800
is for you to beat yourself up over your negative thoughts right and so every day

77
00:09:38.800 --> 00:09:43.420
every minute every hour it's it's a recapturing of those thoughts and

78
00:09:43.420 --> 00:09:49.840
reframing it's really a reframing and as I'm sure Dion mentioned to you and I

79
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:54.480
know Graham would say the same thing is you know that that old person doesn't

80
00:09:54.780 --> 00:09:59.980
exist so don't even deal with them don't even deal with that that old person

81
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.180
And so it's not a well, let me see how I can where does this thought come from?

82
00:10:04.420 --> 00:10:08.680
Let me see how I can reconstruct this and turn this into something better.

83
00:10:08.680 --> 00:10:13.360
It's a reframing in that you are reframing the way that you

84
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:18.860
move into positivity and the right way that you move into God's nature.

85
00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:24.180
So you're kicking those thoughts to the curb and saying, I don't need you anymore.

86
00:10:26.140 --> 00:10:30.720
And then focusing on, okay, what do I need in this moment, God?

87
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.300
Or what are you trying to tell me?

88
00:10:32.340 --> 00:10:34.720
Or who am I in this new creation?

89
00:10:35.580 --> 00:10:36.100
Right?

90
00:10:37.040 --> 00:10:42.260
So the reframing, I think, gets muddled and gets distorted.

91
00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:46.980
And people think that you have to take all those old thoughts and literally

92
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.740
analyze them and break them down versus just

93
00:10:51.380 --> 00:10:55.880
picking them to the side and ignoring them and saying, that's not who I am anymore.

94
00:10:58.400 --> 00:11:02.960
And holding power in that, even getting angry sometimes at those thoughts,

95
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:08.420
like get out of here, get, you know, taking your power back, stepping into that power.

96
00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:12.280
Not that we want to stay in that state of anger, which I think, obviously,

97
00:11:12.280 --> 00:11:18.800
you know that we don't, but it's better than wallowing in sadness.

98
00:11:18.800 --> 00:11:24.440
It's better than wallowing in defeat.

99
00:11:25.900 --> 00:11:26.460
Anger is better.

100
00:11:26.660 --> 00:11:27.340
Yeah.

101
00:11:27.340 --> 00:11:33.420
And you brought up something and me, I am, and Ray picked up on it a long time ago and

102
00:11:33.420 --> 00:11:39.020
gave me my three words, my identity, brave, bold, and loving child of God.

103
00:11:39.920 --> 00:11:41.540
Bold is beyond.

104
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.460
Now, I was always outspoken, tell people the way it is.

105
00:11:46.460 --> 00:11:49.460
It wasn't always pretty before Christ and that's okay.

106
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.160
But when I first got saved, you brought a memory back.

107
00:11:54.420 --> 00:12:02.440
And I remember any time something negative would come to me, I would just yell out live,

108
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:06.580
out loud and say, I rebuke you in Jesus name, you got no power north.

109
00:12:06.640 --> 00:12:07.920
And I would yell it.

110
00:12:08.560 --> 00:12:12.840
And that would bring the whole piece back.

111
00:12:13.620 --> 00:12:21.800
And something over the last few years, it's like, I feel, and I don't know who or what or why,

112
00:12:21.980 --> 00:12:26.080
but I feel like I've turned into this passive noodle.

113
00:12:29.020 --> 00:12:33.180
And I'm not, that's not who I've been my whole life.

114
00:12:33.180 --> 00:12:35.300
But I've somehow turned into that.

115
00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:37.540
And I'm like, who the heck is this?

116
00:12:37.920 --> 00:12:38.740
It's not me.

117
00:12:39.820 --> 00:12:40.300
Yeah.

118
00:12:41.700 --> 00:12:48.140
And, you know, most likely it comes from something that happened that has just,

119
00:12:50.260 --> 00:12:53.980
the enemy's been working on you little by little through whatever that was.

120
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:55.880
Yeah.

121
00:12:55.880 --> 00:12:58.260
And I'm thinking it has a lot to do with that.

122
00:12:58.260 --> 00:13:02.500
I haven't been able to, it seems like I've never been able to hold a job, which is not true.

123
00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:07.700
I've been skilled to the point where I've oversaw teams of people,

124
00:13:07.700 --> 00:13:17.380
made six figures a year, yet I am what I don't want to be.

125
00:13:18.500 --> 00:13:27.160
I feel I'm struggling with a poverty mindset because I can't seem to land a job that will

126
00:13:27.160 --> 00:13:32.300
pay the bills because I'm looking for work because if I'm not doing network marketing,

127
00:13:33.020 --> 00:13:35.420
that's not enough to make money right now.

128
00:13:35.420 --> 00:13:36.460
That takes time.

129
00:13:36.460 --> 00:13:37.660
I get that.

130
00:13:38.860 --> 00:13:44.440
But there's a limited resources and I'm running out of money and I'm getting scared.

131
00:13:45.060 --> 00:13:45.680
Yeah.

132
00:13:46.560 --> 00:13:47.200
Yeah.

133
00:13:48.580 --> 00:13:51.580
And we know that fear doesn't come from him, right?

134
00:13:51.680 --> 00:13:54.100
So maybe he doesn't want you to have a job.

135
00:13:56.640 --> 00:14:03.460
Well, and I think you're right, because I've got so much skill and so much job, but yet

136
00:14:03.460 --> 00:14:07.720
in my mind, because I'm, I can be very analytical.

137
00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:13.620
The engineering thought process that I have is, okay, so how do I make money?

138
00:14:16.900 --> 00:14:18.340
Go ahead.

139
00:14:19.020 --> 00:14:21.260
That's asking the right questions, right?

140
00:14:21.300 --> 00:14:26.000
Like, but just, but asking those questions and, you know, so my daughter,

141
00:14:27.400 --> 00:14:29.420
she's tried so many different things.

142
00:14:29.420 --> 00:14:31.200
She's tried sports.

143
00:14:31.400 --> 00:14:32.940
She's tried singing.

144
00:14:32.940 --> 00:14:34.420
She's tried instruments.

145
00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:35.620
She's tried so many different things.

146
00:14:35.800 --> 00:14:38.940
And I'm talking to her in the car and I'm like, okay, what are you going to do next?

147
00:14:38.980 --> 00:14:39.820
What do you want to try?

148
00:14:40.020 --> 00:14:43.840
And she's like, mom, I just don't think I meant to do any of these things.

149
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:44.980
And I'm like, what do you mean?

150
00:14:45.060 --> 00:14:47.480
She goes, well, I'm just not very good at any of them.

151
00:14:47.800 --> 00:14:49.500
And I'm like, what are you talking about?

152
00:14:49.560 --> 00:14:49.700
Spring?

153
00:14:49.820 --> 00:14:55.240
She's like, well, I just, you know, I just, I gave up on all of them and I just quit all

154
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:55.680
of them.

155
00:14:55.680 --> 00:14:57.620
And I'm just not very good at any of them.

156
00:14:58.080 --> 00:14:58.440
And.

157
00:14:59.300 --> 00:14:59.980
I said to her.

158
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.760
I said, Sabrina, nobody is ever good at anything

159
00:15:03.760 --> 00:15:05.220
the first time they try it.

160
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:06.980
I mean, maybe one in a million people,

161
00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:08.960
but it comes from the practice

162
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.380
and the discipline and the learning.

163
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:13.600
And if you feel like this is where you're meant to be,

164
00:15:13.880 --> 00:15:16.000
then just keep at it and keep going.

165
00:15:16.760 --> 00:15:20.840
She was so good at those things, at every single one of them.

166
00:15:20.900 --> 00:15:24.240
She was so good at them and she couldn't see it.

167
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:25.400
And so she quit.

168
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:29.820
And I didn't realize that was what was going on

169
00:15:29.820 --> 00:15:30.700
in her little brain.

170
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:32.920
I thought she was just trying to be, you know,

171
00:15:34.180 --> 00:15:36.420
argumentative or just lazy, you know,

172
00:15:36.420 --> 00:15:37.900
but that's what was going on in her brain

173
00:15:37.900 --> 00:15:39.180
is that she couldn't see it,

174
00:15:39.180 --> 00:15:41.340
but she was good at each and every one of those things.

175
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.580
And if she had just stuck with it

176
00:15:43.580 --> 00:15:47.540
and she had just persisted and pursued and practiced

177
00:15:47.540 --> 00:15:49.440
and learned what worked, what didn't work,

178
00:15:49.920 --> 00:15:51.760
what was the wrong way, what was the right way,

179
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.580
she would have developed that and honed that skill

180
00:15:54.580 --> 00:15:58.100
and developed into the person that she was meant to be.

181
00:15:58.100 --> 00:16:00.100
And so I can't help but feel

182
00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:02.360
that that's what's going on for you

183
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.840
is that there's something that God is trying to show you

184
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.200
and say, Lisa, this is what you're meant to be

185
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:10.000
and you're not seeing it

186
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.020
because we're stuck in our own frame of mind.

187
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:17.900
And so I obviously don't know what that is

188
00:16:17.900 --> 00:16:19.260
that has to come from you,

189
00:16:19.760 --> 00:16:22.740
but maybe it's once you start the book,

190
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:24.100
maybe it's once you release,

191
00:16:24.420 --> 00:16:26.280
okay, God, if you want me to get a job, I'll get a job.

192
00:16:26.380 --> 00:16:27.540
If you want me to go into entrepreneurship,

193
00:16:27.540 --> 00:16:28.740
I'll go into entrepreneurship.

194
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:31.620
Once you release that,

195
00:16:32.400 --> 00:16:35.380
maybe that's when things start opening up for you

196
00:16:35.380 --> 00:16:38.220
because honestly, when I do that,

197
00:16:38.540 --> 00:16:42.600
it's like, bam, I get hit with so many amazing things.

198
00:16:42.820 --> 00:16:46.600
Maybe not right away, but in due time,

199
00:16:46.660 --> 00:16:48.220
when I'm finally like, okay,

200
00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:50.240
I don't know what's going on here,

201
00:16:50.280 --> 00:16:51.880
but maybe it's this, maybe it's that,

202
00:16:51.920 --> 00:16:52.840
this is what you wanna do.

203
00:16:52.940 --> 00:16:54.280
I'm moving forward with this.

204
00:16:54.280 --> 00:16:55.800
If it's the wrong thing, close the door.

205
00:16:55.880 --> 00:16:57.000
If it's the right thing, open it.

206
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:01.320
And you just see what opens up.

207
00:17:01.560 --> 00:17:02.980
And Rebecca, go ahead.

208
00:17:03.740 --> 00:17:06.140
Is it okay if I share something on this?

209
00:17:06.540 --> 00:17:08.839
Because Lisa, I can still relate to you.

210
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.400
And Monday night we were on the call with Dion

211
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:13.520
and I related to what you shared then

212
00:17:13.520 --> 00:17:16.040
about I know what God says about me.

213
00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:18.460
Like I believe that I'm accepted and forgiven and loved.

214
00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:19.660
I know it logically.

215
00:17:20.040 --> 00:17:22.700
And yet internally partnering

216
00:17:22.700 --> 00:17:24.700
and totally agreeing with that knowing

217
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:26.000
is a different thing.

218
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:28.600
Like living it out as though I really, really believe

219
00:17:28.600 --> 00:17:29.460
it is a different thing.

220
00:17:29.500 --> 00:17:31.500
And I'm like, I get that so, so much.

221
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:32.820
I wanted to share this

222
00:17:32.820 --> 00:17:34.820
because your concern around finances.

223
00:17:35.360 --> 00:17:37.700
I just heard from the Lord a couple of weeks ago.

224
00:17:37.700 --> 00:17:39.100
I was really, really deep in prayer

225
00:17:39.100 --> 00:17:40.560
and I heard something so specifically.

226
00:17:40.600 --> 00:17:43.200
And he said, stop seeking my provision,

227
00:17:43.740 --> 00:17:45.280
start seeking me as your provider.

228
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.120
And I was like, whoa, what do you mean?

229
00:17:48.180 --> 00:17:48.800
What do you mean?

230
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:50.200
And what I'm getting is,

231
00:17:50.560 --> 00:17:53.520
it's not about what I can do and what I'm able to do

232
00:17:53.520 --> 00:17:55.160
and what you believe I can do.

233
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:59.700
It's about who I am and who I get to be in you.

234
00:18:00.260 --> 00:18:01.200
Totally different, right?

235
00:18:01.760 --> 00:18:03.240
And so as you were speaking,

236
00:18:03.320 --> 00:18:05.000
I was having a couple of things come up around.

237
00:18:05.320 --> 00:18:06.120
It's this belief.

238
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:09.400
Cause if you really believed what he said about you,

239
00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:11.240
that he's gonna prosper you and not harm you.

240
00:18:11.560 --> 00:18:13.160
He's gonna open doors no man can shut.

241
00:18:13.540 --> 00:18:15.300
He's got a hope and a future for you.

242
00:18:15.600 --> 00:18:18.500
Your royalty, the daughter of the most high,

243
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:22.400
whether it's a job or business or provision

244
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:24.320
or whatever it is you're trusting him for,

245
00:18:24.320 --> 00:18:25.740
even the health of your new kitten,

246
00:18:26.340 --> 00:18:28.040
it's, well, who am I?

247
00:18:28.220 --> 00:18:29.040
Who have I been to you?

248
00:18:29.040 --> 00:18:30.340
And who am I to you right now?

249
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:31.740
What do you have access to?

250
00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:32.120
Right?

251
00:18:32.120 --> 00:18:33.240
It's all of it.

252
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.200
And I'm trying to adopt that too.

253
00:18:35.360 --> 00:18:37.220
I told Ray this after our call with Dion,

254
00:18:37.340 --> 00:18:39.420
it's like, this is challenging me

255
00:18:39.420 --> 00:18:41.900
because it's like, I know it's true and I believe it,

256
00:18:42.280 --> 00:18:43.440
but I haven't been living it out.

257
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:44.400
Like I really believe it.

258
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:45.760
And I think that's the difference.

259
00:18:46.300 --> 00:18:48.920
I don't know if that helps, but I had to share that.

260
00:18:49.620 --> 00:18:50.060
Thank you.

261
00:18:50.860 --> 00:18:51.660
That's huge.

262
00:18:52.700 --> 00:18:53.880
It's such a hard thing.

263
00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:55.420
That's huge.

264
00:18:55.600 --> 00:18:57.280
It's everything from the head to the heart.

265
00:18:57.660 --> 00:18:58.940
Logically, we know, right?

266
00:18:59.860 --> 00:19:00.680
It's amazing.

267
00:19:04.600 --> 00:19:10.320
I literally had a dream that I had gray hair.

268
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:12.460
Okay, so I looked in the mirror like this

269
00:19:12.460 --> 00:19:15.160
and I saw a ton of gray hair at my roots.

270
00:19:15.760 --> 00:19:17.960
And it was one of those very vivid dreams,

271
00:19:18.080 --> 00:19:19.320
which I have rarely.

272
00:19:19.780 --> 00:19:21.720
I have those rare, vivid dreams

273
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.620
where you feel like you're there

274
00:19:23.620 --> 00:19:26.140
and you feel like you're in a different realm, right?

275
00:19:27.800 --> 00:19:31.320
One time was the recurring dreams that I had before Israel,

276
00:19:31.540 --> 00:19:35.140
just wild how all of that came about.

277
00:19:36.260 --> 00:19:37.660
I won't share that now,

278
00:19:37.660 --> 00:19:39.120
but if you haven't heard me tell that,

279
00:19:39.320 --> 00:19:40.480
it's pretty profound.

280
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.440
But I had this dream that I had this gray hair.

281
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:48.100
And then when I woke up, like as I'm waking up,

282
00:19:48.100 --> 00:19:49.980
I heard, now your eyes are opened.

283
00:19:50.820 --> 00:19:52.400
Like, what does that mean?

284
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.240
And later I found out from a friend of mine,

285
00:19:54.360 --> 00:19:54.900
who's a pastor,

286
00:19:55.100 --> 00:19:56.640
that when you have those dreams of gray hair,

287
00:19:56.800 --> 00:19:57.520
that means wisdom.

288
00:19:58.900 --> 00:19:59.320
And...

289
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.380
And then two nights later, I go to sleep and I'm

290
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:13.280
Woken up by the feeling which I've only had this one other time in my life

291
00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:15.840
the feeling of

292
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:23.520
How do I describe it like a

293
00:20:23.520 --> 00:20:24.740
Veil being scraped

294
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:26.800
across my right eye

295
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:32.680
Like off of my right eye like it was like peeling a paper imagine that there's a paper

296
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:35.880
Peeling a paper off of my right eye

297
00:20:39.340 --> 00:20:40.100
And

298
00:20:41.420 --> 00:20:46.120
Since that time I've realized how

299
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:56.680
Greatly I've surrendered to everything that he wants because I really believe that we know what he wants

300
00:20:56.800 --> 00:20:59.160
We already know what he wants

301
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:01.540
But we're so stubborn

302
00:21:01.840 --> 00:21:05.320
We're so resistant. We're so caught up in our circumstances

303
00:21:05.860 --> 00:21:08.260
we are so just

304
00:21:08.280 --> 00:21:10.880
Just trying to get by each and every day

305
00:21:11.600 --> 00:21:18.920
Right and thinking that we know better even though we know logically just like what Rebecca shared. We know logically what that means

306
00:21:19.940 --> 00:21:21.940
that we still

307
00:21:22.580 --> 00:21:24.220
Make things mean stuff

308
00:21:24.220 --> 00:21:30.460
They don't mean and go in directions that we're not supposed to go and we're all guilty of it

309
00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:32.580
there's not a soul on the planet that isn't and

310
00:21:33.900 --> 00:21:35.940
But just since that profound experience

311
00:21:36.500 --> 00:21:44.240
which was only a few weeks ago, and I think I share almost every time on this call that like I'm I'm

312
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:48.140
entering into a new level of surrender almost every single day and

313
00:21:50.280 --> 00:21:56.000
It's been incredible to just be in this space I can't describe it to you

314
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:59.080
I can only share with words the experience

315
00:21:59.940 --> 00:22:00.460
but

316
00:22:02.180 --> 00:22:07.720
It's incredible to be in that space because if you really look at the worst of the worst of the worst of what could happen

317
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:09.880
To you, it's really not that bad

318
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:12.520
You have a whole community around you

319
00:22:12.980 --> 00:22:15.840
They would never ever let you be on the streets

320
00:22:15.840 --> 00:22:18.620
They would never ever let you go hungry

321
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:24.540
They would never ever let you suffer to the degree of I'm sure what you've worried about

322
00:22:25.140 --> 00:22:25.720
ever

323
00:22:27.820 --> 00:22:30.120
You have a community around you

324
00:22:38.820 --> 00:22:44.800
It's so true and you're so loved and there's so many people in this community that love you

325
00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:49.240
That would never let that happen to you

326
00:22:52.280 --> 00:22:53.880
Thank you

327
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:58.000
You don't have to thank me

328
00:23:00.140 --> 00:23:01.860
So walking in that

329
00:23:04.040 --> 00:23:12.160
Because like my birth family won't give me the time of day and it's just it's it's confirmation it's

330
00:23:16.340 --> 00:23:23.840
It's the opposite of what the enemy is telling me thank you for helping me redirect those thoughts

331
00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:27.720
Because it's it it's

332
00:23:29.220 --> 00:23:29.840
I

333
00:23:29.840 --> 00:23:30.700
may not

334
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:36.160
physically be able to touch you and hug you and see everybody in this community as

335
00:23:37.140 --> 00:23:43.180
I really need because that's my number one love language is physical touch and I live alone and it's really challenging

336
00:23:43.900 --> 00:23:48.060
But with that it's I'm very grateful

337
00:23:49.660 --> 00:23:53.020
And I'm thankful that yeah

338
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:58.660
Thank you for that. That helps tremendously

339
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:01.820
I'm so glad and

340
00:24:02.620 --> 00:24:04.080
with that

341
00:24:04.080 --> 00:24:08.280
There's a new level with that level of freedom

342
00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:11.760
There's a new level of possibility

343
00:24:12.820 --> 00:24:20.640
So another thing that opened up for me really grasping this week is that actually true freedom is obedience and

344
00:24:22.600 --> 00:24:28.720
Surrender not rebellion and we live in a culture that believes that true freedom comes from rebellion

345
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:32.360
When actually that's

346
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:35.260
That's a

347
00:24:36.020 --> 00:24:38.320
It's a it's a fearful place to be

348
00:24:39.140 --> 00:24:43.680
Because it's spawned from fear, right? Well, no, you're not gonna tell me what to do

349
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:46.700
you're not gonna which you know, there's a level of that that is

350
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:50.440
spawning from the truth horse, but

351
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:55.040
When you come from a place of I'm just listening to what God's telling me

352
00:24:55.460 --> 00:24:59.980
And you just surrender and release the rebellion in our hearts, which is really hard to do

353
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.000
do. I'm not an expert at it in any way, shape or form. I can be the most stubborn person

354
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:16.700
on the planet, to be honest with you. Just ask my husband. But that's true freedom, right?

355
00:25:17.380 --> 00:25:26.380
Not like, well, I just have to get in there and do it my way, do it this way. That's not

356
00:25:26.380 --> 00:25:33.140
freeing to anybody. And it's so counterintuitive to what we're taught from such a young age,

357
00:25:33.620 --> 00:25:40.780
you know, especially as Americans. And I love my country. And I believe we're the most amazing

358
00:25:40.780 --> 00:25:50.960
country. Sorry, Rebecca. I don't disagree. Yeah. Because of, you know, because of some

359
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:55.660
of those principles that we've been taught, but the principles have been so tattered from

360
00:25:55.660 --> 00:26:03.660
the Christian foundation that they were introduced with. Not to get into this too deeply, but each

361
00:26:03.660 --> 00:26:08.940
of the 13 colonies had their own statement of faith, and they originally founded. So it's when

362
00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:14.320
you read those, and you look into that, it's, it's interesting to see how that, that level of

363
00:26:14.320 --> 00:26:21.600
freedom has been transformed into what we now have, which is rebellion. So anyway, just food

364
00:26:21.600 --> 00:26:30.100
for thought. But with all of that, I did want to share that there's two ways that I really see the

365
00:26:30.100 --> 00:26:35.300
future of entrepreneurship and the future of kingdom growth. And that's through networking and

366
00:26:35.300 --> 00:26:43.680
through information. And that really hasn't changed. But it's becoming more and more important. So

367
00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:51.460
your circle is becoming more and more important. And how people are getting their information is

368
00:26:51.460 --> 00:26:59.840
becoming more and more important. So if you're not focusing on those two things throughout your

369
00:26:59.940 --> 00:27:08.820
week, you're going to fall behind. And I think, you know, God places both of those in huge, within

370
00:27:08.820 --> 00:27:16.500
huge importance, because this is the way that we get his message out as well. So if you're not

371
00:27:16.500 --> 00:27:22.300
going to master the information space, and some people won't, and that's okay. I'm, I'm definitely

372
00:27:22.300 --> 00:27:28.380
not one of those of the mindset that if you that you have to be a YouTube sensation, like, I think

373
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:33.780
it helps, I think why not, it's free, you might as well, keep, you know, keep that information train

374
00:27:33.780 --> 00:27:42.680
going. YouTube shorts right now, especially are just amazing. But I don't think you have to go

375
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:49.560
that route. What I do believe is of utmost importance is your circle, your network, the new people that

376
00:27:49.560 --> 00:27:57.340
you're meeting each and every day. And so if you just focus on those two things, combine them, one

377
00:27:57.340 --> 00:28:03.720
each day, or just your network, if you just focused on the people in your circle, and who you're

378
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:11.020
communicating with, and who you're now getting to know, and just following in God's flow of, okay,

379
00:28:11.020 --> 00:28:16.880
should I go to this event? Should I meet this new person? Should I reach out to this person? Should I

380
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:21.480
call this person? Should I Facebook message this person? Should I join this group? We have so much

381
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:26.100
access to that network to increase our circle and grow our circle of influence each and every day.

382
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:31.400
And out of fear out of our own headspace out of the enemy talking to us with all these negative

383
00:28:31.360 --> 00:28:36.700
thoughts, we focus on those things versus the two things in our world that's going to make a huge

384
00:28:36.700 --> 00:28:49.040
difference both personally, financially, kingdom wise, and that's our circle of influence. And so I

385
00:28:49.040 --> 00:28:55.940
just encourage you Lisa this week to especially because of who you are and where your heart is, but

386
00:28:55.940 --> 00:29:05.040
this goes for everybody. Increase that circle every day and not be addicted to how they respond.

387
00:29:06.700 --> 00:29:16.220
But, but life really comes down to that. And I've learned that many times over in the last 15 years of just

388
00:29:16.220 --> 00:29:26.120
being an entrepreneur. It's really not about what I'm doing. It is but it isn't. It's really not about that

389
00:29:26.120 --> 00:29:32.340
you're meant to write a book. It's about the people that you're going to meet, the people you're going to

390
00:29:32.580 --> 00:29:40.340
influence with that book, the people involved, the publishers, the people you need to talk to to get it

391
00:29:40.340 --> 00:29:47.160
rolling, the ideas, the idea flow, all the people around you in those different seasons of life. That's

392
00:29:47.280 --> 00:29:52.940
really what it's about. And when you have a solid network of people who know you like you and trust

393
00:29:52.800 --> 00:29:59.600
you, and unfortunately, we get away from this online, although, again, it's helpful, but it's not the

394
00:29:59.600 --> 00:29:59.980
end all be all.

395
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:09.200
all, the further away we get from our from our purpose, right? You can't just hide behind a

396
00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:15.240
computer screen. And that's what a lot of people want to do. So I encourage you this week, with

397
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:22.380
these new revelations to see, okay, in my area, what's going on? Where am I supposed to go? Lord,

398
00:30:22.380 --> 00:30:28.680
am I supposed to go to book signings, you know, for new authors? Like, where, where can I expand

399
00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:32.800
my circle of influence with the right type of people? Maybe it's Christian authors.

400
00:30:33.540 --> 00:30:40.380
Maybe it's getting in those groups. But we need to stop overcomplicating. It doesn't need to be

401
00:30:40.380 --> 00:30:47.980
super complex. It may be uncomfortable. It may be hard. It may be, you know, challenging,

402
00:30:48.260 --> 00:30:53.160
but it doesn't need to be complicated. That's not a word that God uses either.

403
00:30:55.220 --> 00:31:01.940
We don't need to be confused, right? That spirit of confusion.

404
00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:17.580
So does that help? Yes, very much. And I've, I'm, my stubbornness bucks the whole online

405
00:31:18.320 --> 00:31:22.980
meeting new friends, because here where I live, I'm not meeting new friends. So I'm planning to

406
00:31:22.700 --> 00:31:30.460
move. There's too many. Yeah, it's just, it's not a good culture in Port Charlotte at all.

407
00:31:33.120 --> 00:31:39.740
So I'm looking to move where it's cooler. And just start fresh come December 1st is my goal.

408
00:31:40.980 --> 00:31:46.980
Hmm. Because my lease is up at the end of November and spending $2,000 a month for rent

409
00:31:46.980 --> 00:31:54.380
is throwing God's money away. My mortgage was only $950 in Texas. So I'm like, Nah,

410
00:31:54.380 --> 00:31:59.320
we ain't doing this no more. It just doesn't feel right. But yes, everything you said,

411
00:31:59.740 --> 00:32:06.700
to increase my circle, which is make a new friend every day. Basically, yeah.

412
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:15.420
And I want to encourage your mindset around that, of what you just said, and help maybe with some,

413
00:32:15.420 --> 00:32:20.640
some framing that would help in that, if he wants you there, it doesn't matter what your,

414
00:32:20.780 --> 00:32:28.360
what your payment is. The monetary value really means nothing to him. It's the people value,

415
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:34.640
right? So if he wants you there, he's going to provide for, for what that looks like, but maybe

416
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:39.520
he doesn't. And if you're, if he's selling you, Lisa, you need to be more fiscally responsible

417
00:32:39.520 --> 00:32:47.240
here than, okay, listen to that. But you know, to, it's all, it's all perspective, right? To a

418
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:53.020
bazillionaire, 2000 a month is like, wow, that's awesome. Amazing. But if you know, you're scraping

419
00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:59.680
by, then that's a lot of money. And that's a lot of, lot of hours to work for that money. So it's

420
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:04.580
all, it's all perspective and how you look at it and the lens through which you look at those

421
00:33:04.580 --> 00:33:09.580
things. So instead of looking at it as, oh my gosh, I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

422
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:16.520
I'm not being financially responsible, really like planning into that and praying into that

423
00:33:16.520 --> 00:33:27.360
non-emotionally of where am I meant to be non-emotionally, which is hard, may open up some

424
00:33:27.360 --> 00:33:33.080
new, new ideas and new doors for you. Thank you. Maybe you're meant to be our neighbor.

425
00:33:34.580 --> 00:33:41.060
Well, you know, and when I moved here, I, I prayed and God said Naples and I went, cool.

426
00:33:41.360 --> 00:33:47.860
So you're not in Naples. I'm not in Naples. This is true. Isn't that interesting?

427
00:33:50.460 --> 00:33:51.800
I didn't listen.

428
00:33:56.260 --> 00:33:59.880
And you went, cool, that's cool. But I'm going to go here instead.

429
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:01.960
All right.

430
00:34:02.840 --> 00:34:11.860
It probably was a conversation of I, Naples is really expensive. Well, if he wants Naples,

431
00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:17.560
then he'll find a way, but, and now you're in Port Charlotte and maybe, you know, I'm not,

432
00:34:17.620 --> 00:34:26.239
I'm of course half joking, but isn't that funny? Yeah, totally ridiculous. Well, and see me,

433
00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:31.800
my heart was, I want to be near my aunt and uncle. Well, now I haven't even spoke to them

434
00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:37.340
since Christmas because my aunt is a total narcissist, control freak, and I don't want

435
00:34:37.340 --> 00:34:49.280
to be around that. So it is what it is. Life happens. Absolutely. There you are.

436
00:34:52.540 --> 00:34:55.780
What else is on your heart? Anything?

437
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.920
no just i've pretty much yeah i've given you i've emptied the bag for you i think that was it

439
00:35:14.120 --> 00:35:17.040
open up the space one more time and see if there's something else

00:35:19.040 --> 00:35:24.520
