I can't hear you.
I think you're muted.
I am.
There we go.
Hi.
Hey.
How are you?
How's it going?
Good.
This is really good.
Doing good.
I'm good.
Yeah, this is really bright.
I'll get my lights on here.
Oh, goodness.
Hold on.
A client's texting me.
My friend.
Strength.
Doesn't limit.
Okay.
Too much to do.
I have a client that's an electrical engineer and he knows too much for his own good, but
I'm learning a lot.
It's just that trying to get answers for him anyway.
Yeah.
Well, it's exciting because then you'll have it for trial by fire and then you'll have
it for all your other clients.
You'll like, you'll have it all down and be like, you have more information than they
need and mix this out and then they see you as even more of an expert.
That's good.
Well, if it worked out that way, because a lot of times what happens, this happens in
every sales job I've had, you start out, you don't know what you don't know.
And so you can sell it like everyone's business.
And then you start realizing what you don't know.
And then it's harder to sell because you know all the downsides, you know, the answers you
don't like.
And so he's actually, the questions he asked were very telling and the answers I'm getting
from the company are not very comforting.
So he has, he has data from a friend who has a system from another company that negates
what our company is telling him.
And so I'm just like, great, here we go again.
Sorry.
There's no perfect.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
How's it going?
Good.
Chloe in the background, you want to say hi to this peanut butter face.
This is Chloe.
Nice to finally meet you.
Love you.
Sorry.
You're fine.
The dog has claimed a baby recliner.
He stays there until they come to get him for bed.
He just curls up beside me.
So I didn't mean to interrupt your meeting.
It's like you're fine.
That's sweet.
Yeah, I'm glad to finally get to meet her.
Yeah.
She slipped in and slipped out.
The dog has peanut butter all over his face.
He took Emma's sandwich at supper.
So no, he dropped it.
He waits under her chair and waits for manna to fall and she dropped her sandwich and that
was it.
So yeah.
Oh, that's cute.
It sounds like a good life.
He's well fed.
Yeah.
My dog has got a good life.
Let me see if I can show you a picture.
She has claimed my quilts.
There she is.
She's got herself a good life.
Yes.
I saw the picture of her and her basket.
That was so cute.
Yes.
She likes, she loves that basket.
So the plan was not that that be her bed.
When my grandmother passed away a couple of years ago, I guess it's been, it was a huge
fruit basket.
I mean like that thing is like was this big and it was filled with like the ripest, most
beautiful fruit and all the variety you can possibly imagine in a fruit basket.
And everything was top notch high quality.
It was just really, really good.
And that basket of fruit had to have been $375 or something like that.
It was just very expensive.
And so someone has given it to my grandfather, you know, in condolence for his wife passing
away.
They were really good friends of theirs.
So my aunt, when we were leaving, she said, Hey, does anyone want this basket?
And I said, I do because I love baskets.
I love containers.
I don't know why.
I want the Lord to eventually show me why I love containers so much.
But I do.
I love anything that can hold something else.
I don't know why.
But maybe it's because I like structure and everything.
You can have the creativity of like filling it with whatever you want.
Anyway, I said, well, I'd like it.
So.
I, I took it home and I thought, well, I'll just put all of doses little
Blankets in there because she's half. She's half dachshund so she loves to borrow. So she loves blankets and loves like completely submerging yourself in something
And because that's how they were bred. They were bred to like go down in the you know the tunnels, you know, to find. Yeah, rabbits and all of that so that she likes to be completely covered
Anyway, so I thought I'd put her extra blankets in there when she's not using them. Well, she decided she actually liked it in their basket with the blankets. So it's now officially her bed for two years.
Loves it. So I take her I take I take it with me when I go somewhere and unless I need her actual crate. So when I travel with her when I take her with me in the car. I take that huge basket and I said it in the passenger seat.
She loves it because it's her safety net. She knows
My basket. I'm safe in this spot. It's got all the blankets that smell like me.
Oh,
Yeah, so she's awful sweet.
Little girl. She's 70 now so she's got all the white on her.
She's a good little girl and the end of it really likes her like, well, yeah.
Our big outside dog. We had some pretty bad.
I like thunderstorms. I like to watch him. If I'm not driving him. I'm good. Yeah, he hates them. So when Dan came in the door. Here comes Buford right behind him.
The girls. Oh, can you stay inside. Like, can you not smell him. Oh, he can't stay inside, but he laid in the bedroom floor for a little bit. Okay, it's time to get up.
We yeah I said, Dan was going to tuck him in. And it was like, did you give him a blanket. No, why would I give him a blanket. Mommy said took him in like not quite what I meant, but
Yeah, I know.
That's
I know. Well, if he's an outside dog.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Australian Shepherd.
Oh,
Pretty dog.
We had him inside. He was I potty trained Abby and paper trained him at the same time while pregnant with Bailey. So that was a rough week in our house.
But he did great. He just didn't like it. He wanted to be out is too hot in here and all that. I thought it works in the way he says I'm so glad he's outside though.
Yeah.
Sorry, beautiful, but you're out.
I know, and I grew up with all with dogs outside cast me a cat dogs outside because I grew up on a farm graph out in the country and we had a dog.
And then we had actually over the time we I think we had three dogs or four. I think we have four dogs, not all the same time, but we have four dogs and then at the same time we had 14 cats.
They were all outside, though, and
You know, they would catch all the mice and it was great. But anyway, they were all outside. So when I got my dog. It felt very weird.
That I had to take her to the vet. I was like, that's just strange.
But, you know, we're like our shots and are in our little inner senior visits in our, in our, in our annual visits and I'm like, this just feels weird. But, um, you know, I've just, I'm just attached and I just take care of her. And so it's
She's, she's precious. I'm very grateful for. She was a rescue and I believe that she was abused based off of her, her response to things. In fact, I know she was. I don't know why she didn't
Say I think she was. It's too obvious. And so I prayed over her a lot and she does her well I've had her eight years now.
And
Anyway, so she does a lot better with people instead of being afraid of people. She now thinks everybody loves her.
Everybody she meets. She sure is going to love her. She's still afraid of men, though. And so she just has to have like about two or three minutes to check them out.
Before she'll stop barking at him and not be scared and all of that. But in every now and then I'll hold something in my hands and I'll be talking to her.
And she and she gets scared and like, why is she why she ran away. Why did she ever tell between your legs. I can't quite figure it out. Also, no realize
I've got something in my hand. Anyway, so even after all these years, eight years I've had her and she she was only a year and a half or two and a half years old when I got her and throw this
Feathers coming out of my club and poking me in the back.
So anyway, but yeah, she's a she's a sweetheart and everybody that needs her loves her. So she's, she's got a sweet little temperament. But yeah, dogs and and
animals are just real precious. The picture I was tagged in, or the mask I made,
it's a girl I graduated high school with. I've got my retainer in, I can't talk. But she
works at our vet's office and so she loves Tonto and he loves her. I'm like
seriously you can have him because I don't feel the same way about him. But
when I sent her mask to her, there was a note in there from Tonto, he kept
flopping down on the sewing machine pedal. So it's a note about to my
favorite vet tech. I tried to help mom and she wouldn't let me and just kind of
hammed it up a little bit. So he's just sure everybody loves him. I'm like not
all the time sorry. So, wow, 15 after. I got on just a little late, sorry about that. I
was just busy doing things and all of a sudden I was like oh my word, I got to get on. So
do y'all, does anyone have anything that they wanted to start with? Hopefully
some more will join us in a little bit, but either something like from y'all's past, I
don't know, a few weeks, or any questions that y'all have. I liked the story that
you shared, Steph, about you and Chloe and how the Lord had, you know,
just revealed himself in a special way where it actually created, what that's
called. Well, the way that sometimes I hear it referred to, and the way that I
refer to it as well, is it's like it creates a new record within us whenever
we have an experience like that. It's like where we have a new knowing that, oh
wow, God really, it's like something that, it's not just a knowing outside of our
head and theory of what God could be, but like he actually evidences himself like
that to a place where we just kind of have this new knowing, this
point of reference that we can go back to, that where we know God does come
through, he came through in this way at this particular time. So that was neat.
That's cool. Yeah, that's so cool. Because it was, it was not what we wanted at all, so, like, oh
please, come on, but no, I'm so glad it worked out the way it did. So glad. Yeah, and the
reason that we don't want it like that is because we're anticipating a problem.
We're anticipating a, oh no, it always works out like this. I'm alone. I'm going
to be alone. Something bad is going to happen. So what God does in these tests
and trials, interestingly, is not to have us prove ourselves to him and like,
okay, I've been teaching y'all things and I want you to now, I want you to now
follow through with what I've taught you and whatever. It's not that. It's that
he wants us to, he wants to put us in the place that we're afraid of and show us,
no, no, no, I've been telling you that there's freedom, so let me put you there
in order to prove to you that you're in freedom, as opposed to, okay, I'm gonna put
you in a scary spot and I want you to trust me anyway. No, he's like, okay, no,
it's theory to you until I put you in there to prove to you, oh well, I'm in the
place of my fear and there's freedom here. There's not fear. So then it becomes
like what we've been saying, this record. So I think that's the, so in other words,
he brings us to those points to prove himself, not that he's trying to get us
to prove ourselves to him. I have a question about that. Yeah. So, I mean, God
has proved himself over and over and over and over and over to me, but there's
still that element of fear, like the old record that it's always like, I don't know,
seems like it's still the prevalent one is like, oh no, what am I gonna do? You
know? Yeah. Well, it could be last week, you know, and then this week it's like, well,
I'm on my own again, you know? Yeah. Yeah, it's a habit. Well, it's a habit of
thought. It's, it's a, it's a, we're always, it's familiar. And, and so God is,
it's this process in this journey, kind of like children who are, that we see as
being disobedient and we're like, how many times have I taught you this? How
many times have you had to bear the consequences of this action and yet
you're continuing to do it? It's because subconsciously there's still something
that they believe about the situation that they haven't shifted their belief
system yet.
Oh, it's like it really needs to be proven to them because they're so ingrained in the other that fear is just so ingrained in them. You know, it's the same thing with us. It's just so ingrained in us. It's that it's the debt to which we are believing whatever it is that we're believing
It's not, it's not a, it's not a little thing. And it's, and it's a process. It's a process of actually overcoming. So that's what that that's what that is.
It's not a one and done thing necessarily, even though sometimes there's things like one and done like
You know, you do hear about people, for instance, that are alcoholics or that are drug addict that are addicted to drugs are addicted to pornography or some other kind of addiction.
And and they meet the Lord and boom, they're, you know, it's a one and done thing and they don't have any temptation to go back to it. They don't have any desire. They don't struggle with it from that point out.
And then there are others that actually have to go through this process of overcoming. So it doesn't negate
What has happened in the fact that, well, we did have faith back then we did have faith yesterday. We did believe yesterday we were operating out of the spirit in that moment yesterday, but I'm
I'm back down in my soul again in a similar moment today and in this moment.
And that's not for us to get discouraged about it just means that, okay, we're here again. And we now have a new record of what it's like when I'm not like this and to know
That I can be in a place of peace. I can be in a place of rest. I don't have to be in this place of fear. God has proven himself faithful and I know that not just by theory, but because I've experienced it. So now I can choose yet again to step into that.
And so anyway, that's what that's what it is. It's not for us to get discouraged about it. It's a journey. It's not a always the one and done thing for us to get discouraged about
It's a very deep record within us that the other we we've had too many things that we saw as affirmations of the fear.
And the affirmations we have of the truth have not yet been strong enough to overpower the other in our in our
To our satisfaction.
And and so we have to continue to choose to believe and choose to believe and choose to believe until this record becomes stronger and more dominant
So, yeah, but it's not a point of condemnation or discouragement, just like, okay, it's a journey, you know, a two year old doesn't learn something overnight.
So,
Yeah, I think I'm in the past, past, not immediate past, but what I what was coming to me and I was writing it down furiously so I don't
And I lose this angle is that whenever I would go through the same test again I was, I would go, oh no, God, not this test again. Haven't I
Passed this test yet seeing it like you said we always see it. Oh, he's testing me. He's wanting me to prove my faithfulness. But instead of that, it's like, oh no, here we are again you you've already proven your faithfulness. God, I can't, you know, I can't wait to see
Yeah, so I can see how my perspective has been flawed.
Yeah, yeah. Well, it's, yeah, it's just, it's just an area in which we are. We're not believing and we're in a we believe that we're in a place of lack. So we have to choose to believe God, your character is such and therefore you will evidence yourself in this situation as such.
Yeah, and there's something else that's going to say along those lines. I don't remember what it was. Oh, yeah. So it's kind of like a like an onion or a layer. There's we God is a way to view it is kind of like
Sometimes this visual kind of helps where, you know, think of like pulling something up by the root, you pull something up by the root and then you cut it off.
And then, and then we think, oh, we're done, because it's all we can see and then God pulls up a little bit more. And then we see that there's some more because his point is to bring the whole dadgum thing up.
What until finally the roots gone, but also, sometimes if we were to, if we were to take care of the whole wide at once it would overwhelm us
And so, and God knows that in, so he's okay with it being a jump and say one more line because the only thing you can be desired is completion.
learning to just be able to handle what we're able to handle.
So there are some things for us in each one of our lives,
and they're going to be individual, um, that are one and done thing.
But then there are other areas, like say for instance,
that Steph might have something that for her is a one and done thing when the
Lord deals with her on it. But that when you, Amy, you're,
you're dealing with it, it's not a one and done thing for you. Well,
but then there's something that's going to be one and done for you.
That's not one and done for Stephanie. And it's going to be, you know,
and it's going to, it's going to take a while,
but we're all very different and God will father us all,
all differently based off of, you know,
us as individual sons and what he has for us and who we are, our background,
what it is that we've chosen to believe, how it is that we grew up,
what we believed with being told to us by our parents or by our Sunday school
teachers or by the school bully or whatever.
And so we can't compare ourselves.
Um, we're all one in Christ and each one of us,
and we should honor each other for how each of us,
each of us is given things and has
chosen to walk a specific path that allows us to overcome
something in the, for the body of Christ,
so that the rest of us don't have to overcome it.
The rest of us get to benefit from the fact that we are overcoming for
the rest of the body of Christ. Each of us dies that the others might live.
And then they die so that we can live and we can honor each other in what it is
that each of us is having to, is overcoming. Um,
instead of condemning each other that they haven't gotten it or gotten over it
yet. And they haven't learned, they haven't quote unquote,
learn their lesson yet, which is old mindset, mentality, et cetera.
And it's another way for us to view with compassion,
other people on their journey that may not look very pretty that we had gotten
that we had, um,
that we had moved into faith and into belief faster than they are.
They're going to, when they go through their process,
even though their journey was longer, sometimes it's,
there's an in-depth richness to it in their overcoming or in our overcoming,
if it's taking us longer, that's very unique, very special,
that fosters a deeper intimacy with the Lord,
um,
in that area that maybe somebody who for whom it was one and done didn't
experience. We, it's really interesting.
We think that if it's a one and done thing, that that is the cooler way,
that that is, um, uh,
that that is the one that we all want.
That's the one that it's proved that God loves that person more than he loves
the other people because they got the really cool, special miracle.
And it's not true.
The people that it took a while for them in order to journey and to overcome,
there's an, there's a depth and an intimacy and the relationship that they,
um, that they, um, had with the Lord and the experience that,
um, you know, it's priceless.
That's just different. I don't know that it's more valuable.
It's not less valuable. That's for sure. Uh,
but it's just different than a one and done thing too.
So neither one is to be condemned
or to feel bad about.
That makes sense actually. Yeah, that makes total sense.
Think about the more you have invested in something,
the more value valuable it is to you.
Think about our culture being a microwave culture,
wanting everything quick. We don't want to have to work for it,
but it's actually detrimental.
You don't appreciate things as much as things that you've had to invest more
into. So it makes sense. Never thought of that. Never heard that.
That probably just came out of you.
I don't know. Have you talked to the Lord about it before?
And I'm trying to think if I've taught it before necessarily.
The Lord taught me it in the fact that I've been happy because I had to come to
terms and grips with other people that it felt like we're moving faster.
And I was feeling, um, I was feeling condemned as a result.
And then other people that have encountered me have felt condemned because,
and they've told me there's been specific things in which they've told me that,
Oh, well, actually, you know, yeah, you know, you, this, that, and the other.
And that's not fair because I've been going through this longer or I've
whatever. And then, so either they were,
they were putting themselves in a place of condemnation and then they were
either expressing their self-condemnation.
to me it just is like a sharing moment or they were actually casting blame on
me and trying to shove blame on me like actually that's that's not fair or that
can't be real because it took them longer and so I had to understand with
the Lord Lord what's going on because I'm being hurt and I if I'm taking
longer than someone else I'm in self-contamination and if I'm and if I
moved through something faster and it just felt easier then then sometimes it
would alienate me from other people and and I just I felt and it was just
difficult and so I just needed to understand Lord how do I get out of this
feeling of self-condemnation is this that doesn't feel from that doesn't feel
right from you and yet at the same time I don't know what the truth is about the
situation and I and I asked him to reconcile it for me and so anyway yeah
I felt that way many times you know with not I haven't felt any anger or anything
towards you but I've observed that I'm like wow Ashley is so young and she
learned this so fast it's like why has it been taking me so long God and not
just you but other people I know like a friend of mine who's you know she's just
she's been spirit filled for like six years and she you know it just it like
you said you feel like people pass you up and you're like what's wrong with me
that I mean that's the natural response but the scriptures says not to compare
and there's a good reason for that you know yeah because that's just yeah
correct he brings pride or condemnation if you compare you know so I have to
but you know wasn't it for me it wasn't so much a a well it was a comparison but
it was it does it makes you wonder like well what am I missing God you know and
so thank you for explaining that because that I've I've wondered that myself like
why is it taking me so long what what am I missing you know or what's wrong with
me you know yeah yeah yeah so we're all learning different things and there there
are ways in which I felt so behind from other people but then that's just in
certain areas but then I then I get around others and I'm like feel like I'm
way ahead so I realized that that there's there is there for now no
condemnation it's it's um it's just God is taking me the way that he wanted me
to go and it's been it's been a struggle for me because what he did is he knew
what he wants each one of us he knows the path that he wants each one of us on
and what it is that he desires to develop and foster in a relationship in
us what it is that he wants us to know about him how it how it is that we also
choose to lean into him and then he works with that what availability that
I've given him of myself etc and and it's just it's just all different it's
just all different and we all have some we all have a way in which to contribute
to others but in the church culture there were things that we had been that
we had believed based off of so we take in the idea of from the world that
there's a hierarchy of better things and lesser things and there are certain
standards and if you have these things they're better things now if you have
these other things well then you're lesser then they're lesser things and
the better things are achieved by the better people or if you do the better
things well then it makes you a better person and I don't mean like good versus
evil better but just like I don't know smarter you know the smarter and holy
holier-holier more spiritual yeah we're here Rachel yes yeah it's breaking up a
bit so I just had to had to grab a word here and there but yeah like more
spiritual whatever and so we've adopted that mentality from the world into the
church because it's from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil so anytime
that regardless of whether the person calls themselves a Christian or
non-christian if they're operating out of the soul well then they're gonna have
this feeling like I'm not provided for I'm not protected and therefore I have
to create it for myself whether they're a Christian or non-christian so anyway
and then we have to get a hierarchy and a structure and a way to be able to
measure ourselves and because we were outside of relationship
Out of sight of living out of relationship with God for over here and we have to create some arbitrary list in order to measure how it is we're doing. Well, that has no place in rest in the spirit realm.
So y'all are for. Well, no, maybe y'all aren't frozen. Okay. I thought maybe y'all were frozen. So how is, am I breaking up at all when I'm talking
No. Okay. Okay. Because sometimes y'all are breaking up. And so I can't tell if it's y'all's internet or mine. So I was wondering what the recording, what's going to be like
So just wanted to make sure. Hey, Cheryl. I love the side ponytail. Thank you. And my cat. You look like an all American girl next door.
Well, thank you. This is the been a couple days since I washed my hair. Look,
I enjoyed your hair tips. The other day.
Yeah, I think y'all favorite was that to discover that I only wash my hair once a week when
Yeah.
So,
We're painting a chicken coop. Um, so we're going to give backyard chickens a shot. And so we got six over the weekend, little chicks and then
So what are you painting. I can see the paint on you periodically, you know, on your arm.
Yeah, we're painting a chicken coop. Um, so we're going to give backyard chickens a shot.
And so we got
Six over the weekend little chicks and then I'm Steven I can design the coop and it was supposed to be done a couple days ago, but these things never go quite as planned and so
Today I just, I was like, I've got to get those chickens out of their box and into the coop. So we've painted and painted and put wire on and he's finishing it up out there right now so
That's exciting. Well, good.
What what
What chickens. Did you get
What's the brain.
I'm to like horns to Rhode Island reds and to Americana.
There's the ones that do the the pastel colored eggs. So it's gonna be so pretty.
Yeah, I love I'm farm raised eggs, you know, there's a bit creamy with yolks. That's really good. Yeah.
Yeah.
I did it to distract. I was very interested to know what you what you're paying
Yeah.
It's gonna look cute or done when you when I came in and you guys were talking about how God brings us to the trials to prove himself rather
Rather than to prove us. It made me think of a Bible verse that I've had for a while. Um, the Lord will fight for you. You need only be still
Um, I had never heard that verse until I was in Hobby Lobby after I had just come out of a really hard thing. And so I got it. And ever since we've been going through this material with Ashley this verse keeps coming to my mind. Um, and so I'm like, I need that out and keep it out again.
I love it. I know. Isn't that funny when we start
Us how many Bible verses we find like that and like, oh, it's real. God really has been telling us that all of this time.
Or the Bible. What was the is it Hebrews 11 six or 11 for you know that I have that I had up on the old community. I'm going to add that Bible verse to the current picture that we have up there.
And about the fact that, you know, he who was that he who or that we will is for man to enter God's rest is to see rested from his work or however that that thing goes.
And then that one and then be still and know that I am God and just so much about so much about rest. God just desires to be just rest and fact that there's
We're always taught that we need to be a warrior. We're always taught that we need to fight ensure there is that there's a place in an element for that. However, even that fighting is still from a place of rest because rest is abiding in the spirit where everything everything
That were spiritual spiritual laws are subject to us as opposed to us being such a spiritual laws.
And then we just tell we Lord and and act as kings over creation so that then knows what it is, what is expected of us.
And so even the warrior ness even the fighting is done from a place of rest. So, but then, you know, there's no need for us to fight.
Because we need only be still so we'd be still and then there are other verses that talk about the fight.
but they're not contradictory to each other.
It's the same thing.
We're fighting from a place of rest,
and we're able to rest,
not because it's the Lord who's fighting on our behalf.
Anyway, it's really interesting.
So those verses don't contradict each other.
And isn't that in Old Testament, verse two?
It is.
It's from Exodus 17.
The writing's kind of hard to read,
but I think it's Exodus 17.
Yeah.
Well, good.
Thanks for reminding me of that one.
I forgot about that one.
That one's one of my favorites.
I've enjoyed that one.
Sure.
So I'm sorry, Amy,
did we finish what we were talking about there?
Yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
It was good.
You're welcome.
Did anyone have anything else
or anything that they have been going,
that the Lord's been talking to them about?
Or, appreciate you sharing that, Cheryl.
The Lord had been talking to you about that verse.
I've learned, if y'all don't have anything,
to make sure that I come prepared.
I'll check it out if you need me to.
Well, it's already 8.40, so.
Yep, so we don't have a whole lot left.
So, Steph, how have you been?
You know, you said that you've been able
to move more into a place of rest and peace,
and you were telling us about that.
Any updates?
Are you still in that same place,
or have you noticed you've got,
or whenever you get triggered,
you're able to know how to shift back,
or how's all that going in your home?
I think I'm shifted back into it now.
Of course, everybody knows we had testing last week,
and we passed, everybody passed.
But that was insanely stressful for some reason.
And then I knew that Chloe's filling was coming up,
so that was kind of in the back of my mind.
I've literally detoxed myself from social media.
Like, this is the latest that I'm allowed
to be on social media at bedtime,
so that I can control the crazy dreams and stuff.
So, that's why you're seeing all the lettering
and stuff coming out now, where I'm like,
okay, I've got to shift my focus,
I've got to get away, I've got to just stop.
So, yesterday and today, today's the first day
I've actually done anything of any consequence,
business-wise, because I finally had
the mental capacity to do it.
I've been running on overload and overwhelm,
so I had to literally just stop and say,
I'm done, I'm done.
Dan asked me yesterday what my big health goal was
for the day, and I'm like, nothing.
Dishes, laundry, nothing.
So, that helps.
But definitely being able to shift my focus,
and then the advice you gave Chloe
about stopping a panic attack has been huge.
So, and she and I have both,
did you hear the cash register sound?
I did, I was like, is money coming in?
Yeah, actually, that's Etsy.
Anytime I make an Etsy sale, it does that.
So, we laugh about it, because if someone says something
and it does that, it's like, oh, Etsy said amen.
Etsy's like, yes, right there, it's true.
I always think of it as a life
where an angel gets his wings.
There we go.
The cash register, an angel gets his wings.
It's a wonderful life or something, isn't it?
Yeah, isn't that from life, yeah.
And then the bartender gets really snarky about it.
He says, look, I'm giving out wings.
You know, that wasn't like the bad version
of if George had died, or if George had never been born.
That's that sad version, but yeah.
There's other really happy ones,
you know, where like the bell tinkles on the Christmas tree.
Those are the happy ones.
Anyway, that's what I think I want to hear a cash register.
I'll think of that every time now.
But yeah, it does, it's made a big difference
as far as, okay, stop.
This is serving me, I'm not serving this.
Huge difference, so yeah.
You helped us both on that one.
Good, I'm glad.
Good, good.
Yeah, and it helps, I think I mentioned that.
It helps to practice, which it sounds like she's doing,
that to take that into consideration
just in life, and then you're used to it
so that when something major comes up
that she, that someone can, that she can be triggered by,
that's a more intense moment.
and she's already familiar with, no, this is what we now do,
as opposed to that being the first time to do it.
So it sounds like that's what she's doing, and that's great,
because it's a way in which we need to approach life,
not, oh, a special thing we pull out on special occasions.
It's just, you know, it's a mind shift.
Yeah, that's good.
And then, of course, there's always the,
that's dealing with it,
and then there's always the background
of shifting, of changing, of renewing one's mind
so that eventually we're not triggered by those things.
Because I am trying to think,
I don't think I've experienced a panic attack.
I don't think I may have.
Sometimes I get a little confused
between a panic attack and an anxiety attack.
I did used to have anxiety attacks
where I would begin to hyperventilate.
Yeah.
And all of this was as an adult.
I would begin to hyperventilate and stuff like that.
I don't, and I didn't know what was going on.
I didn't know to call it a panic attack.
I just knew I'm experiencing this.
I don't know what's going on.
In fact, it took me a little bit to realize
that what I was going through was hyperventilating
because people weren't around
when I would have these episodes.
So I didn't know that it had a name.
I had actually depression for four years
before I knew I had depression.
And I had severe depression
where I was like on suicidal level.
I didn't know that that was depression.
And anyway, so, but why was it telling me all that?
Oh yeah, talk about the panic attacks and anxiety attacks.
So I don't know if I've had panic attacks or not
that had the anxiety attacks
and I've had friends who have had the panic attacks.
So I mean-
I beat myself.
Holly talked last week about her son with his anger
and how that's not your anger, that was my anger.
I beat myself up over that for a couple of days.
I had severe anxiety when I was pregnant with Chloe
and when she was first born,
like just sure I was gonna break her,
not gonna do something right.
And really, really bad postpartum depression,
like majorly bad.
So I'm like, oh no, I've made her this way.
And I was just sure that I had passed it down to her.
So yeah, that took a few days.
Like, no, let it go.
That was 14 plus years ago, stop.
Yeah, that's right.
And you never know if you received it from someone.
And if not your mother or your father, your grandparents,
your great-grandparents, somebody you've never met.
That it's just, there's no reason for us to beat ourselves
up over all of those things.
We work together as one body to overcome.
And so there's no need for us to like
take responsibility for it.
I've done this to someone, I've messed something up.
No, we inherited things from other people
and we can just choose, you know what?
I don't wanna live like this anymore.
I wanna live in greater freedom.
And we choose at which point we want to step into that.
And there's tremendous things that you'd already overcome
by the time Chloe came along that you gave her
that she didn't have to overcome because you already did it.
And it wasn't passed to her.
Now sure, someone can choose to take something new on.
But you know, in other words, there's just no need
to take something on that God doesn't hold us
accountable for and come out with life, so.
So what do you tell a child that's having,
how do you deal with a child that's having anxiety?
It's not mine, but a friend of mine was talking
about this just this morning about her son has terrible,
I don't know if it's anxiety.
She said that, I think she said anxiety attacks
and he's so concerned about things he can't control.
And so what, I mean, it sounds like this is something
you've talked to Steph about maybe in a one-on-one
that I don't know the answer to the question.
How do you help a child get over or deal with anxiety?
Yeah, so the way that I, that what I was explaining
to them is that there's a quick way to actually deal
with it in the moment, but then there's an underlying reason
for why they're being triggered.
And so that needs to be dealt with.
In other words, the mind needs to be renewed.
However, for like actually dealing with something
in the moment, kind of like you have to like,
you have to save someone from like, I don't know,
going down in the deep dark pit.
Kind of like that when a child is in the middle
of a street and a car is coming towards them,
now is not the time to play nice
and be teaching them something.
You run out there, you scream, you grab the child.
So in other words, there's a couple
of different ways to do it.
So basically the idea is that.
um when because that when they're going through a panic attack they're just quickly spiraling
out and losing control so then they have to do something extreme in order to get it back
so and it doesn't need to take long but it will take longer in the beginning until they get used
to pulling themselves out of it so it's actually very very simple and um when a panic attack comes
on the person in the and this goes for an anxiety attack as well but the person in the attack just
needs to stop completely uh whether they're i don't know a lot of kids are triggered by a panic
attacks when they're taking um i don't know when they're taking uh when they're taking tests
um you know how you hear about kids that don't test well and meaning like they're very very
smart but then we actually test they don't test well look right and they they panic they lock
down they think i'm going to fail impending doom whatever they're really smart and and unless that
you know they actually have to act on it and then they just have this this impending noon that comes
upon them or they find themselves in a situation in which they're being triggered by like past
abuse situations that they've been in or social anxiety situations and then a panic attack comes
on and they're just feeling very overwhelmed and overstimulated um so they're being triggered
by the they're being triggered in their response to outside stimuli so they need to choose
themselves in that moment they need to stop everything they need to choose themselves
over other people and over whatever situation that they're finding themselves in including over their
parents because you're talking about um the fact that this is someone who's whose son suffers from
attacks so i'm assuming that it's a child that's still in the home as opposed to a child who's an
adult and so even so the what the child needs to do is the child needs to know that in those
moments they need to take they need to choose themselves even over their parents and what their
parents are are encouraging them to do or wanting to do or whatever they need to stop focusing on
how do i please my parents how do i plea because that's the problem they're trying to please their
parents or they're trying to not they're they're trying to have their teacher or their or their
parent or their situation or even themselves not be disappointed in them and they've got to
cut all of that off and they've got to choose themselves and then they need to
stop being aware of anything other than themselves and remind themselves that god himself
has placed them in the position of the second you know second or third most important being
in the universe so christ is the second most important being in the universe and we're in
christ so we're the second most important being in the universe but christ also has the preeminence
so sometimes it helps kids to think well i'm the third it doesn't matter whatever is helpful as
long as they understand they're one in christ and they're that important that even satan isn't as
important as they are or as powerful so and then in other words they just must choose because they
often find it hard to believe they actually have to choose that they are more important than their
situation and then what they think is being required of them to be or do in that moment
because that's why they're shutting down they're they're feeling this the all of these requirements
of like emotional requirements physical requirements they've got some things they're
obligated to something something's being required of them to do or to be that they're worried or
that they're going to fail to do or be and they have to shut themselves off from all of that
feeling of obligation and understand they're more important than all of that so that's the
quick way to stop the spiral and then to get back into control so um after being like that for a bit
from that place they can then proceed to do whatever's in front of them like a test or
something but it has to be from the mindset that they are more important than the test or they are
more important than whether or not the other person accepts them they have to choose themselves
and the test and the test or the social situation
oops
for once it's not me is it
no i'm not i don't i think it's ashley
it's not me is it ashley i think
So I'm used to it being mine, so I'm used to mine freezing up all the time.
I think she lives a half a mile from me, so I don't know if my internet's not working very
well. Hers probably isn't either. Amy's the host because I was the first one on. I think we'll
wait for Ashley. Steph did you share? She told me all that stuff when Chloe was doing her test.
What's that? I was just going to ask you about that. Was that something that you talked with
her? You posted something on the in the group about it? No, I actually messaged her about
if she would be willing to talk to Chloe. I feel like I can't talk. I want to take my
retainer out. Just about her anxiety with her testing. She told us here, and it really did
kind of help her. It's okay, this is serving you. This test is just a tool. This is not anything
bigger than you, but I mean it really, she got rattled, and once they get rattled, it's just all
downhill from there. So it was kind of a rough day, but after that I thought, okay, maybe she'll
use this at the dentist. So on the way to the dentist that day, I was like, okay, now remember,
this is serving you. This is something to help you, and we're kind of pre-emptive, but I mean,
you can't really tell when it's going to hit. What's going to trigger someone to be anxious,
but it definitely helped in our case. Yeah, that's awesome that she talked to Chloe. I'm sure that
meant a lot to your daughter, just to have someone else that her mom, you know, respects to
just speak to her one-on-one. That's cool. She just texted and said she lost connection.
Anyway, can't connect or she's trying to? She texted and said she lost connection.
Give me a sec, is what she said. So I don't see her coming back on yet.
Are you there, Carrie?
Oh, is Carrie there? It's just Carrie's iPhone.
I'm highly presentable enough to actually turn my camera on. I literally just sat down
with my bowl of watermelon. I'm solo parenting tonight. Josh is gone,
and I all of a sudden got a huge burst of energy and was like cleaning the house and making a
breakfast casserole and doing the laundry while I was listening, so I didn't want to be all
distracting, and I was like, okay, finally, I'm going to sit down now. So yes, I'm here,
and I've been enjoying all these conversations while I stuff my face with my watermelon.
All right. Are you nesting? I'm not sure. I still have like 10 weeks to go, nine or 10 weeks.
I don't know. I mean, I don't think so. Who knows? There's Ashley.
I'm back. My internet cut off, so I had to go restart it. Sorry about that.
Amy, what were you saying about 10 weeks and you don't know?
Oh, I was saying that I was getting the backstory of why my video was off,
because I was cleaning and doing laundry and making a breakfast casserole,
and I didn't want to be distracting, and I just all of a sudden got a burst of energy,
and Amy was wondering if I'm nesting, and I said, I don't think so. I still have like 10 weeks to go,
so I'm excited to come early, but no, I don't think I'm, I don't look for labor anytime soon
anyway, so I'm just sitting here now eating my watermelon and listening.
That sounds good. So, sorry it cut off, but I had actually literally just finished saying
everything I was going to say. Did that make sense, Amy? Yeah, that's good. I'll share with
my friend. It's good to know. Yeah, that's, I've never heard of that technique, and it makes a
whole lot of sense. I love it, because I just think that a lot of us humans grow up thinking
that we're here to serve whatever is demanded of us and to teach a child at a young age that
they're the most important thing. That's huge. I love that. That's really good, and there's nothing
actually different or special about this technique that is different than what we all learn,
in the fact that we have to release. So, it's like, falls right in line with it. So, when we
think about the gospel, when we think about what it is that now that we have the gospel, now that
we are saved, how do we move into it where we, into a place where we're actually manifesting
the things that God says that are our inheritance, you know, etc. How to deal with a panic attack
falls right in.
line with everything because that is the answer, shifting into belief of stopping and actually
just letting go and releasing.
That is how simple all of this is that we've made so complicated that we felt had to be
handled in a variety of different ways with very complicated formulas that you have to
learn, tips and tricks that you have to learn, and things that you have to find.
Oh, no.
We lost her again.
You're muted, Ashley.
You're muted.
There we go.
There you go.
Yeah.
It just cut off again, but at least it came back on this time without me having to do
something.
I have excellent internet, but I'm telling you what, the past several weeks, like even
during COVID, everything was fine, but during the past several weeks, I've really struggled
with my internet at night, and I don't know why because I have the kind of internet that's
supposed to be, that's supposed to give me the best internet and not be subject to the
amount of traffic.
Does that make sense?
So it's like a special amount.
It's a special service that I bought so that I'm not subject to how many people are on
at one time.
It doesn't affect my bandwidth.
So I don't know why I struggled with it the past while.
I need to call Verizon and ask them, but anyway.
So the thing that I was just saying is, you know, about the reason that we thought all
of this stuff that other psychologists think are, oh, all these tips and tricks and formulas
that we have to learn, and they go to school to learn all of the ins and outs of this,
that, and the other.
I'm not devaluing any of that.
That's important, and all of those things are true, but it's making our world, it makes
us believe that everything's a lot more complex for us to overcome than it really is, that
there is all of this work and this knowledge that God requires in order for us to be allowed
to walk in emotional, spiritual, and physical healing, and it's focused.
It's absolute focus.
So it's operating out of the soul and thinking that in the soul or out of the body, you know,
in those realms where, oh, I have to learn these formulas in order to get something to work.
All of that works, but if we use it as our source, that's the problem.
We can use tips and tricks and all of that as long as we're using them as kings and as
lords, knowing that God is the source of everything, and if we are inside of the source of everything
because we're inside God, well, then spiritual laws will naturally respond to us.
We don't have to harness them and subject ourselves to them as if they are more powerful
and as if they can create the result that we want in our lives.
That's the problem, and that's where we've been taught, oh, well, there's these special
ways to deal with panic attacks.
There's these special ways to deal with anxiety attacks.
All of those things are true in that they're real, that God is more powerful than all of
those.
So anyway, so it's not any of those things, the reality of it.
Okay.
All right.
Well, I think that that is, that we've hit 904 over here, 1004 where most of y'all are,
but before we leave, did anyone have a question or anything that they wanted to mention before
we jump off?
Everything good?
I've been using that release, like you told me, about the instructing my soul at night,
like that it can let go and be healed and let the spirit heal.
I've been doing that at night and it's really helped.
Like after I did it for about a week, my mind cleared out and I was able to, like,
I got new energy back from my business that I had been distracted from for all of COVID
and it's just been a lot better.
So.
Oh, I'm so glad.
Oh, good.
Good.
I'm really glad.
I know.
Thank you.
As these things are overnight. Sometimes it'll take, you know, it'll be over a week period of time, you know, we never know what it is that this spirit is doing and what kind of resistance that we are
Thank you.
That we're holding against and against belief in the Lord and where it is and how deep it is and how many areas of design.
Who needs to learn it all. So we just tell us soul. You're fine. Just let go. You're not in a place of black and then just a lot of spirit to come in, you know, then it does miraculous things and people ask us, so how did you do it. Like, I don't know.
So what happened. I don't know. It's like that thing that I posted on my wall. I don't know how many of y'all thought, you know, that just said it like
You know, I was one way and now I'm different. And what happened in between with him so
So what secret. Did you give to Cheryl, because I really need that.
I'm trying to think if we've talked about it. The thing about maybe we haven't. Okay, so funny enough, I was actually going to do a teaching about it today and then post it on on our in our and
What do you call it posted in our group because I realized that even though I've talked about it on the Q AMP. A's and I've talked about it on I'm just basically answering people's questions or responding when
Say like Cheryl or Amy or someone has that. Oh, by the way, I use that trait, you know, I think that you told me about in our private session.
That I brought it up then I've talked about in private sessions with people, but I haven't like talked to everybody about apparently. And so I thought, I just need to have this
Teaching that people can just go and watch. So basically, so in other words, I plan to do that. I was going to, it was going to do that today, but I had and
I had some things come up and including a 12 year old boy, Nathan, who came over and decided he had bought he he'd found a pet. He'd found a baby catfish in the river and he wants to keep it on my balcony. So we had to make
On my balcony. So I do not know how long that poor little thing will live, but I love Nathan. And so we're going to keep tiny Tim on my balcony until he dies.
Or until
It's just sympathy for the fact that it's slowly dying.
I pray, pray, help over that little thing that that that he will be released back into his natural habitat.
So that was a little distracting this afternoon, which was really sweet. He kept bringing this little friend over. They come to check out the catfish make sure it's still alive. And so Nathan asked me, he said, actually, I'm going to keep it on my balcony.
Okay, movie now.
Is when you know when you wake up it's a screen not an airplane.
So when you wake up, it's not an airplane.
It's still alive.
It's still a
movie.
Okay, I'll poke him every hour.
After this call. I've got to go poke tiny
The living
I need to bring Emma to your house and let her go noodling on your balcony balcony.
Yeah.
Like
It will be an easy cat. She's in this large shallow Tupperware or not Tupperware. What do they call that, you know, the ones that they put into is that Tupperware that they put into the under the put under your bed. They put like
For me.
For me, yes.
Like a plastic things. Plastic bins. One of those
Yeah, no, I'm thinking, oh my word. How much he how much is that heating up that water and anyway, but he got some moss so that the little catfish could hide under the moss and protect himself from the sun. I don't think it's gonna work.
I have to pray over and over the fish. So anyway, long story of why I didn't do the teaching today. So maybe I'll get it done tomorrow, but the short
Version is a basic version is that and
That we don't our soul does not have to be conscious of when of what it is that we need to receive healing from or what it is that we're withholding or what it is that we are resisting that not allowing us to walk in belief and and our soul does not have to be conscious of it.
That our spirit can actually heal that force because our spirit, because it's in God, since God knows all things are spirits in God, then, then our spirit knows all things are sold doesn't have to know something in order to actually
heal because our soul forcing our soul to know all things and believing our soul has to know all things is
Operating out of the soul is thinking that oh, I've got to know all that. I've got to understand all the ins and outs
I need to know the strategy. I need to know the trauma. I need to look through my past
I need to come to terms with my past. I need to remember everything
I need to and then I need to figure out all the tips and tricks of how to actually heal and actually
Actually meet with my inner child and tell my inner child
I'm okay that it's okay and she can she can calm down and whatever I've done all those things and they work
They do work wrong with all those things. I've done that
I've talked to my little to the little girl that was hurt
During such and such a time in my life and told her, you know, you're safe
If all those things that were said, you know to you weren't true and whatever it is healing
My point is you don't have to you don't have to go through that laborious process
You don't have to revisit all of those all of those pains and all of those hurts
You can just your soul is in a state in which it's a it's terrified. It's afraid it feels abandoned
It thinks it's on its own and that God is not provide is provoked
It's not providing for it and God is not protecting it and God has not identified it
So it doesn't know who it is and it thinks it has to do everything for itself
So you just have to tell your soul as a king and a lord because you are a king and a lord in your spirit
Just tell it you're safe
You're okay
Just let go and you're safe with your spirit. You're one with your spirit
So you can and you can just you can let go of everything that you're trying so desperately to hang on to
Thinking that if you don't it's all gonna fall apart
And you just talk to your you just kind of talk to yourself like that
And then you tell and you actually you actually release, you know
You just just let go and then and then you can tell your spirit, you know spirit and come in and I ask you
you know what's going on and
Just come in and and just just heal whatever it is that I need healing in
I wherever it is that I'm resisting wherever it is
I'm not believing the Lord and there might be specific areas that you're aware of which you're not believing the Lord in which you're with
Holding with resistance and you don't know why you are then you can talk specifically about those situations
And then there are times where you're just like I don't know why I'm like this. I don't know why I'm frustrated
I don't know why I'm angry. I don't know why I'm tired scared. I don't know what I'm scared of
I don't know what situation that it's that's I that's triggered me. I mean it could just be this generic
I feel like I'm gonna funk. Well, whatever it is. It can be generic and vague as well
So you don't have to have something specific and then you just tell your spirit to take care of it. You're like, okay
I I expect that that's all gonna happen
And then you just walk away and finish doing your dishes finish going about your day or you go to sleep
whichever you're gonna do and
Anyway, and so all of those things can shift
Subconsciously without our consciousness being aware of it because our consciousness even in our soul our consciousness. It's only 5%
of our total
consciousness
95% of it is our subconscious
Conscious and then only 5% of it is our is our actual consciousness and we don't need it
funnel and
bottleneck
Everything through 5% of our consciousness. Yeah
so
You know
Because if that was required God wouldn't have made 95% of its subconscious
He meant it for us for it to everything to just do what it needed to do in order to serve a son of God
which is why he also created our bodies to be able to breathe and our heart to be and
All of the processes all of the very intricate and very complex processes of our body to operate without us telling it what to
do
Consciously our subconscious our brain just does it automatically etc
Creation knows what it needs to do and we don't have it. So he's given us examples all throughout the world to
Prove to the fact that these there's natural processes in effect
That are supposed to naturally do what they're supposed to do without us constantly having to dictate it to it
And give it instruction
We just they just need a king and a lord
To present himself and know who it is
And when they know when we know who we are we present ourselves as such creation will naturally see
There is son of God and if there is son of God that means I'm such-and-such and
therefore I can just settle into that position and I will naturally function the way that God intended me to function and
We don't have to give an instruction about what it's supposed to do. We can do that
We can tell money what we want it to do.
We can tell spiritual laws what we want it to do.
We can do stuff like that, but we don't have to.
So I know that that was probably a lot, but it's a really very heavy topic, but that's
the general idea that, and I'm hoping to do a more extensive teaching on that so that
people can reference it because I've noticed that that seems to be a really big impactful
thing in people's lives that they've continually, that clients have continually told me was
very effective.
And so I thought I just need to have it, it's a little separate deal so that people can
watch it.
They need to remember, as opposed to like hunting for it in a Q&A.
So did that make sense, Steph?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, that helps a lot.
I know, it was.
I'm sorry.
I try to give you as much as possible in a short amount of time.
I still, I'm one of those people that definitely tries to do everything bottleneck it through
that five, that little 5%.
Yeah.
I think I'm like the computer that locks up because it's doing so much at once.
Yeah.
That's pretty much what my brain does.
Right.
Because we think it's required of us.
We were taught that it was required of us because the rest of the people are under that, the
rest of the people in the world are under that same oppressive belief that everything
depends on us.
And that if we don't harness it and if we don't control it, it will go to hell in a
handbasket.
And that is not true.
That's not true.
So, yeah.
Cheryl, have you never heard that?
I have.
And I have thought it to myself so many times.
And so, it was nice to hear it in that context.
What the hell in the handbasket?
It goes to hell in a handbasket.
Yeah.
Oh, my word.
Okay.
So, terrible, embarrassing story.
Cheryl's in my communication.
I was writing something to Cheryl the other day.
And she remembers this.
And on the little keyboard, you know, on my iPhone, the U is right next to the I.
And I wrote shut, but apparently it hit the I instead of the U.
And I was so embarrassed.
I was so embarrassed.
I didn't catch it.
And I sent it to her and she responded before I reread the text.
And I was like, oh, dadgummit.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know I wrote that.
My saving grace was that the I was next to the U.
I couldn't even blame it on auto spelling.
But I could blame it on the fact that I wasn't thinking it in my head.
And I just moved my thumb apparently a little too far to the right.
I hope I didn't corrupt Cheryl's mind.
Because I corrupt her mind.
I'm sorry.
I've never written that word before.
It was horrifying.
It happened right before I went into a zoom call with Steve and our
financial planner.
And this poor guy is trying to explain to me, you know,
what does he think of me like laughing at investments, but no,
it totally cracked me up because it was so far out of your character.
That was another saving grace.
Oh, you know what?
I have had to write that word before. And this was really,
this really bothered me. There's a way in Facebook to write like,
if you do not want profanity,
if you want to automatically reject anything that's posted that has a
profane word, and you actually have to type the words.
That really bothered me. I had to think of them.
You know, I had to think up and like try to drum up out of myself.
I was like, these are horrible words.
I don't want to have to think about these.
I remember being at PCC and my,
and my roommates trying to teach me cuss words because they thought it
was important that I not be so naive that I didn't know those words.
I didn't know those. Most of these were, most cuss words.
I did not know until I was out of college, I think,
that I knew like the D words and stuff, but you know, like the little ones,
but I didn't know like that, you know,
the little ones being like the more common ones.
I didn't know all of these other words. Anyway, I learned them as an adult.
Vantage in the oil and gas industry, pipeline loader.
Of course not in the office, the pipeline loader.
So we go to the Christmas party and I'm like,
I've never heard that term used.
is a term of endearment. And I mean, I'm hearing these words
fly, and I'm going, wow, and Dan's like, normal job site. I'm
going, of course, now that I have my retainer, I don't know
what's going to come out. So I apologize in advance, because
it's been a little embarrassing a time or two. So it's
interesting.
That's cute. That's funny.
I actually have the last name that Toys R Us filters out. Like
they would not let me order because they filtered out my
last name with their profanity.
I know.
I was just like, I wonder if like that ever caused the
problem like, like, when she introduces herself or when she
writes it or like, if you don't hear a lot of snorting, like
you'll say your last name, they're like, VIX. I'm like, Oh,
no. So one of the girls heard someone called at a doctor's
office, and their last name is Almond, A L L M A N. And she's
like, their last name just seems a nut. And I'm like, you don't
make fun of anybody's last name.
But there was a lady,
but there's a lady at PC Pensacola Christian Academy that
I that was my teacher growing up in her name was Mrs. Schmuck.
Very unfortunate name, but at least she married into it. So
she knew what she was doing. You know, at least she was prepared.
She wasn't born into it. Very unfortunate.
You know, that's true love, right?
Is she was the happiest person. She smiled all the time. I mean,
like these huge, you know, whole face light up smile all the
time. She was lovely. I loved Mr. Schmuck.
Her hubby was the sweetest guy too. He was one of my accounting
teachers and accounting was the worst class ever for me. And he
was just so patient, like, like a grandpa, like so patient. And I
don't know. Yeah, they were sweet, sweet people.
I've always wondered who her husband was. Because I've always
wondered, I wonder what his what her husband's like, and
that I never, I never met him or even saw him. So, so that's,
that's good to know. I would imagine that he would be a very
nice man. So and of course, by the way, everybody, so Cheryl's
father in law, I did not know who that was until recently, was
one of my favorite teachers ever. And he was like, he's the
he was the history professor at PCC and Dr. Reese, he taught
history, so much fun, very down to earth, and a light in the
middle of PCC, because not all of the teachers all like as
beautifully as he did. So anyway, I love Dr. Reese, he's a
lot of fun. And his his poor son grew up being called Reese's
pieces, because at least the dad thought it was funny. I can
imagine that the kids did not. But we all would hear about it.
We don't hear Oh, yeah, I call it Reese's pieces. And in my
mind, I'm going, I don't think they like that very much.
What'd you say? It kind of became an identity.
It kind of became an identity.
I see. I see. I always wonder, it's like, I don't think that I
would have liked to be called the Reese's pieces. And so I
would imagine that three boys wouldn't want to be called that
either. Is it three boys?
Mm hmm.
Three boys. Yeah, yeah. Anyway.
Well, did anyone have anything else that they wanted to talk
about before we jump off?
Everybody good?
Well, it's always good to see all of y'all.
Yeah, please do that teaching soon, though.
Yes. Yes, I will. I will. I'll do it because there's more to be
said than the way that I then what I said. So I just tried to
be as short and concise but as impactful as possible so that
you could actually use it tonight if you need to stuff.
So yeah, I'm sure it'll happen.
Well, bye ladies. Good to be with y'all.
Night.
Bye.
