I am on the floor in the corner between the dresser and the bathroom.
I was in my friend's apartment and have been for, I think, 10 months, and this is really,
really neat story. There we go. Anyway, so they let me, I've been staying there for 10 months.
Well, the Lord talked to me about traveling at the same time that he began, that her parents
decided because the apartment was always intended for my friend's parents to eventually move in
there. Well, none of us are talking to each other and all of a sudden we all get the same idea of
now it's time. And so the Lord tells me to start traveling, that my friends and parents approach
her and say, okay, we're selling our house and we're going to go ahead and move in. And my
friend and her husband felt like, yes, now is the time where we're sensing that from the Lord.
And because there was a time in which like back in December, like months ago that we had all
planned that I would go ahead and move on, but none of us felt that it was time. But this time
without talking to each other, we all knew from the Lord, it's time. So when we all got together,
we found out we were all getting the same message. That's great.
So anyway, I'm in the apartment and I am in my friend's and her husband's guest bedroom
in their house until I start traveling at the end of July. So I'm waiting for all of the birthdays
of my family to go through and my nephew's first birthday. And so I had to stay for that.
So anyway, I am not leaving until around after July the 18th is the plan, after July 18th,
because that's his birthday party. And so anyway, so I'm in the guest bedroom for now.
And I don't know if I'll be here the full three weeks or if I'm going to be here like part of the
time and then go stay with my brother and sister-in-law for a week. I don't know. So
anyway, that's where I am, but my room is a wreck because Hey, Amy,
your house is a pretty backyard. You want to see my pretty backyard? Hold on.
Yeah. Can I flip the camera around?
Yeah, you should be able to at the top.
Oh, I see.
I think if you like kind of tap on it, you can do this.
Okay, so there's the back.
It's so pretty.
And this is my canopy frame that I'm going to put up.
Oh, nice.
Got a swing set back. There's a fire pit over there.
Oh, that'll be cozy.
Right over there.
And then there's a swing set, which may go. I don't need a swing set.
And then there's...
I know. And his mom's definitely needs a swing set.
Oh, it's just beautiful.
It is very nice. I like it so much.
I'm excited for y'all. The boys like it.
Yeah, Buddy likes it because he can see out the windows now.
The window frames are low enough for him to look out the windows and he was going crazy.
Oh, sweet thing.
Well, good. I'm excited.
Yeah.
Hey, now.
Hi.
How are you doing?
Good. I'm just moving.
Good.
I'm going to go into my bedroom so Skylar can watch TV.
I'm sure.
Glad you could make it.
How did the move go? We're all talking about our moves.
What is the whole move thing?
You know, Amy just moved.
She was just showing us her backyard that she moved into.
Wednesday and...
Sorry, Monday and Tuesday.
And y'all just moved. I don't know.
Stephanie, y'all need to move.
Actually, we got our floodplain stuff taken care of.
So we are out of the flood zone.
We have a FEMA letter.
So we won't be moving, but we will have an updated house.
So yeah.
You're going to get your front porch, big front porch.
Y'all been building your house for 10, 15 years?
But all by hand. It's very impressive.
They're all doing it themselves.
And she gets the lumber from her father-in-law.
So it's all very special.
Very hands-on.
That would take a lot of patience, I feel like.
And now her four girls will know how to build a house.
Are you four girls?
Four girls, yep.
How old are they?
14, 12, nine and four.
Oh, that's fun.
I bet, does she love having older sisters?
Yeah.
That would be kind of fun.
Never a dull moment.
Yeah, I bet not.
Yeah, about 10 years apart, wow.
Yeah.
That's fun.
Yeah, Chloe will be starting to drive
and Emma's in a booster seat.
So they're spread out a little bit.
Yeah, that's like my first four,
they were 10 years apart.
Yeah.
Oh, mosquitoes.
I'm gonna have to go in there.
It's different.
But yes, to answer your question,
move went well.
We just decorated today.
So we actually got things on our walls and stuff finally.
So, but.
How does it feel like to be in that floor plan
that you've been dreaming about for a long time?
Oh, I love it so much more.
And I could go into,
so we made the other room his office.
So, I mean, I could go in there,
this is comfier for a zoom like this.
So I'm like gonna use my room
and then every once in a while I'll use his office,
but we got to decorate like all his movie stuff
and everything.
Oh yeah, that'll be fun.
Well, I'm on the floor between the dresser
and the bathroom wall.
So you've got.
I've been there, I've done that before too.
I've been in my closet leading a training before
at our old place,
because it was the only place I had lighting
in our bedroom and with him working.
So at least now we have a little more space
and I have lighting.
I know, I know I had to get a ring light
in order to make sure that no matter where I am,
I can get some lighting.
So it's not very big.
It's like what?
Eight inches maybe,
like from outward rim, outside rim to outside rim.
Yeah, I need to look into getting that
because I had one as a little one though,
but you could always see the rings in my glasses.
So I hated that.
And so I'm wondering if a bigger one,
I don't know if they would do that too or look better.
So we have to play around with it.
Yeah, that's something I hadn't thought about.
I'm sure that you could,
have you Googled it to see what to do
with ring lights and glasses?
Because I haven't yet,
but that'd probably be a good idea
just to see what other people have said.
Yeah, to see if there's like some,
like if you have to get,
you have to make sure that it's a certain size.
Right.
Be able to avoid it or like what all,
in other words, why reinvent the wheel?
Right, exactly.
What did everybody else figure out?
We had, as long as I'm a little permanent,
I mean, I literally had a book under my computer.
So it'd be the level I needed.
And then we had bought this like big, tall,
like what's the, like the lantern, that type of paper
that you know when people have lanterns go.
So it was one of those lights
and we'd put it like at the end of our kitchen table.
So then the lighting would be good enough for there,
but he's using it right now in his office.
And so we might all either take it back
or we'll get like some similars
and see how that works out.
Yeah, I've noticed that if I don't get this light that,
and if I just use like the overhead lights and stuff
that I've noticed on these Zoom calls,
my camera isn't the best on the computer.
And so I look really grainy.
So anyway.
Yeah, I kind of look, I think I still look dark,
but these are more casual, I assume.
So I wasn't too worried about lighting for this.
Oh yeah, they're very casual, yeah.
Natalie should have seen me at the first meeting.
What were you doing?
Why, what were you saying stuff about the first meeting?
Yeah, you should have seen me
because I thought it was a Facebook Live
and I show up straight out of the shower
in my nightgown with wet hair.
Which I think is hilarious
because Stephanie's always saying,
oh, I'm so sorry you're seeing me with wet hair.
I'm like, I really can't tell, I'm sorry, no big deal.
She was like, oh, I'm so embarrassed.
I'm like, why?
I don't see anything.
It was all good.
I know, but you know, we just feel self-conscious
if we know.
Like we're, yeah.
Yeah, like I feel like I have to confess to y'all
that I'm sitting on the floor.
Nobody needed to know that, but I don't know.
We just find all that really important.
So what time is it?
It is 8.10.
So now we just, the way that it goes
is everyone just comes on here
and if whoever has a question, ask the question.
And then sometimes people don't have questions for a while.
And then eventually, you know,
it's one person asks a question
with another people come up with one.
So the thing is I've realized
that sometimes I have to come prepared
with something to talk about.
Like a question from a client, you know,
from earlier on the week or whatever
that I did on private session.
And I'll bring up that question.
And I won't say, you know, who came up with a question,
but I'll just say, oh, you know,
talking to someone today or a couple of days ago.
they had this question, so might as well answer it for everybody else.
So, but I always, I always like it when, uh, if someone has a question,
but I suppose it's a really good thing if everyone doesn't.
So, but, uh, does anyone have anything, how would,
how would the, um, have the, uh, teaching sessions been going, Natalie,
have those been going all right?
Oh yeah, those have been going really well.
I have one person that definitely,
I think it helps that I am a teacher by trade because she is my needier
student, I guess I would say,
like I probably needed to put more parameters in place,
but she's an older lady too.
So I just want to like love on her as much as I can and help her as much as I
can. But it's been like constantly my messenger,
like everything's blowing up.
So I've just had to almost just kind of put boundaries in for myself.
And then I let her know, like, I will, I I'm letting you know,
I see your message, but I'm doing this.
I will get back to it this time just so she knows that I'm not like ignoring
her. But yeah, so I've had to like be a little more patient with, Oh, okay.
So that she, you know, I think everybody probably runs into that.
Maybe sometimes it's different clients,
but it's all good and I'm happy to hear, be here to help her. So.
What do you do Natalie?
I am a, so I do code. I'm in a network marketing company,
but then I also do coaching and some affiliate training.
And so right now we're running a five week mastermind.
And so those who came in get,
we do training within a private group and that like weekly.
And then I touch base with the people, like we do a coaching college week.
So that was kind of the parameter set up with like them joining. And I,
I do let them know, I'm like, if you need me to be a messenger,
if something comes up, like, you know,
and so she's been one where it's like all day, every day,
or she'll like try and video chat me like without it being scheduled or
something. So I've just, or she'll be like, can you call me real fast?
And so I've just had to like, still be,
I have a lot of grace and I've like, she's new or, you know,
and she just wants to learn a lot. So it's good, but I am, but yeah,
I've had to just kind of say, Hey, I can't right now,
but I promise you, you know, check in with you later. So, and give her so,
but that's what I've been working on right now.
Yeah. I know she appreciates that. That's sweet. I know different,
different people need to be loved on in different ways.
Right. So I just think of like my, and I am a teacher,
so a fifth grade teacher. So I just kind of think of as like my students,
they all have different needs and different ways of having those needs met.
So yeah, I think that's one of my strengths.
So I just try and use it to the best of my ability. Yeah. Yeah.
I know you've got lots of irons in the fire. So you basically have,
don't you essentially have like three jobs then that I work marketing and the
coaching or, and the, and the, uh, and the teaching.
Yeah. And right now the teaching obviously was a summer.
We haven't had to do very many things with that, but in like three weeks,
apparently we are going to go back full time as of right now.
So that'll be coming to the full screen soon.
And I'll have to rearrange my schedule to be kind of sad because I've been
enjoying the like daytime and then evenings we like usually watch movies or just
have our time or whatever. So I'll have to constrict my timeframes,
but that's also why I'm like, I kind of knew that was coming. And so,
and that's why I was like, well,
if I'm going to do the rest of intensive,
I better do it now because I have more flexibility and time to do different
things. So, and then, yeah,
our core with the thing that I was doing with Girl Power Alliance,
that launches in August. Um,
and we're the goal is to launch our program. I like with that.
So we'll have that going on, but yeah, so
yeah, I'm glad.
I'm glad that you've got all of these things that you really enjoy doing.
Yeah. I think otherwise, cause even now, sometimes I find,
I think the hardest part for me is,
and this is why this was going to be good for me is I do also need to
physically, like if I have, don't,
I felt like sometimes I still have too much time on my hands. And so,
but I'm still not like feeling at rest or like,
I feel like I waste time almost when you have too much time,
you like end up wasting a lot of time.
So I'm trying to still like figure out that bounce.
Cause I am used to just having something every hour of the day planned out.
And now I have a little more flexibility.
So I'm trying to be more intentional with my time,
but also like learn how to be more in a restful state.
I think too, when I am working.
So I'm excited for see like go through more of your trainings and stuff and
get myself into that,
that state cause I still feel myself get worked up easily or like stressed
about things easily.
like more so in my just my body I can feel it shift changing and so that's something I would
like to work on of just having this is the way I work and this is my flow and I you know and just
feeling at peace with that and not so tied to like I think it's hard I don't know if anybody
else here is in like network marketing but I think sometimes that is the struggle is because you feel
like it's a very go go sometimes and so finding that balance and really working at the way I want
to and not being worried about what someone else is doing compared to like what I'm doing that day
yeah correct yeah and um and you're right so rest is just a it's a place it's a state of um
and so we we just abide in there and then we just flow and it doesn't matter if we're doing
something that the world would label as business or not because for us it's no difference it
doesn't matter whether we're working in network where we're doing something um in that's directly
related to the network marketing or directly related to teaching fifth grade or directly
related to coaching or for washing the dishes we do it all exactly the same and we we we're always
just flowing in the spirit we're always just and uh just uh we're we are flowing in relationship
and are in partnership with the lord where we're doing it together we're not actually switching
gears in the way that the world has to switch gears we just because we operate the same and
implement ourselves the exact same way in everything and um the nice thing is it doesn't
matter what it is that you're doing you're always keeping an even keel and you're not
in you and we don't move it's hard to describe but um to to just explain very simply
we find that we do not feel as much like we're moving in and out of seasons there there's still
an element of seasons um with the lord um however we're not we don't we don't well okay so seasons
we we all right so let me let me rephrase that because i thought okay how do i word this we do
move in and out of sort of kind of of seasons however what we don't have as much of is the
emotional um ups and downs that we tend to associate with seasons well i'm just going
through a season and when we say that we're almost always referring to an emotional change
from the last season we were in that we're we're we're measuring how uh we're measuring
our life in that moment by how we feel because and then we assume that we feel a particular way
because we're affected by as a victim by whatever it is that we're going through whether we're in a
busy season in our business or whether um god is taking us through something or you know whatever
it we we kind of are allowing ourselves to be pushed and pulled too much by our environment
and by things around us what i always refer to as the wind and the wave which is in reference
obviously to when peter walks out on the water and then and he was fine when the lord said come
and he walked out on the word come and um he didn't walk out on the water he worked out walked
out on the word come and with the word come came all of the provision that peter needed to to step
forward however he he was doing it he was operating it he was looking at the lord he had complete
faith if the lord says it then i believe it and therefore it's true and therefore i can walk out
on it and then all of a sudden he looked at the wind and the waves and he thought well wait a
minute maybe not and so when i refer to the wind and waves i'm referring to the fact that our
environment um if we're affected by our environment and we're looking at our environment to tell us
what's true then that's going to affect our emotions but if we look at god who's ever
who's ever unchanging and we use that by which we um uh that we use that to affect our emotions
and since he never changes our emotions stay the same it doesn't mean that we don't get happy and
sad and and whatever but we don't have this this emotional turmoil and chaos and then peace and
emotional turmoil and chaos and peace you know we we don't have that as much we'll still have that
sun as we're learning to operate more and more in rest you know because there are elements in which
we still aren't operating rest and we aren't believing them and then we're believing them
and then we're not believing them and then we're believing them so we do have an element of that
but it's not the same um i was telling somebody this the other day um that um i may have been
on a q a no no it wouldn't i mentioned it on a q a call but it was uh someone was asking me
so actually you know how are you doing yeah and i'm thinking back to okay when's the last time
me out they asked me that and how have i changed since then and i thought
Well, all kinds of different things have happened that, that used to would have had me doing
this an emotional rollercoaster, but I realized when they asked me, so how are you doing?
I thought, well, even though the, the, the wind and the ways around me majorly changed
since the last time they talked to me, I don't feel any different.
And I, and I haven't felt any difference since the last time they talked to me.
I mean, just consistently, I'm just doing this always happy, always at peace, always
joyful, but I just, I don't, I'm not, I'm not riding this, this victim rollercoaster
of, of, you know, well, what season am I in?
And that's going to affect me.
No, no, no.
I'm a son of God and creation listens to me.
It doesn't affect me.
And so I, so I noticed that as long as I kept my eyes on the Lord and then, and focus and
He was the focus of my, of my life, my attention.
Then he also became the focus of all of my emotions.
And I noticed that the, that the environment around me could change.
I can move from business to relationships to, um, and all of the seasons that that was
going through in the seasons that the relationships were going through and whatever.
And that me, I wasn't changing.
I was fine because I was just, my focus was on the Lord and he will, he wasn't changing.
And I was always operating in rest.
The wind and the waves around me could do all kinds of things, chaos, peace, chaos,
peace, chaos, peace.
But I was just always peaceful.
And so anyway, that's one of the things that, uh, one of the benefits of moving into rest
is that, uh, when we, when we sh we, we don't feel as much like we're shifting gears, whether
we're talking about seasons emotionally or shifting gears between business versus, okay,
now let's look at my personal finances.
Oh, okay.
My marriage.
My parenting, my, um, you know, dealing with wounds, my, you know, whatever it is that
we're, that we feel that we're shifting between, or in your case, multiple different types
of businesses, we don't feel as much like, um, that we're having to shift gears because
we don't realize how shifting gears is related to emotions.
Yeah.
Especially too.
Like when I am teaching during, like, I feel like I almost have to, like I do, I feel like
I have to switch gears and mindsets and everything.
Like I'm going from this way of thinking and working to like, okay, now I'm putting
this hat on.
And so I would like to just be able to transition in and out at any time, you know, and not
really worry about what time of day it is or, you know, who I'm with or whatever, and
just kind of, yes.
I mean, to work on lobby, the same, I'll be the same.
And the nice thing is it won't, it won't even be something that you have to work on.
It'll just come.
And what we, what we do is that comes as a natural result.
We don't have to work for it.
We don't have to be necessarily even intentional about it.
It's going to naturally happen because we just have to believe that God is who he says
that he is and that we are who he says that we are.
And then we don't realize what a route that is for everything else.
And once we deal with that route, all of a sudden, all of these things in our lives start
settling down.
Old wounds start healing that we didn't, that we did not, we're not even focusing on
and they start healing.
We didn't even know we had them and they start healing and we didn't know how we were acting
as a result towards, towards our, our spouses or our parents or our friends or our students
or whatever.
But as the, as the root of however it is that we were acting gets taken care of, we act
differently and we didn't have to focus on our behavior because God doesn't focus on
our behavior.
God's interested in our belief, but our behavior is always contention on our belief.
So if we shift our belief, our behavior will naturally change because it's a result of,
because we will begin to, our behavior will follow our new man as long as we shift into
rest, which is where our new man is.
So in which we operate of our, out of our new man, which you'll get into this and all
of the teachings.
Cause so I know I'm touching on it very, very quickly here, but as we shift into that new
man in that new nature, you don't have to work hard to be yourself.
You naturally are.
We're actually, and you'll, and you'll discover this in the teachings.
I refer to it as we're in a state of resistance against who we naturally are.
So as soon as we stop resisting who we naturally are, we suddenly start being the person that
we've always desired to be and that we always heard that God wanted us to be.
We find that it's actually very easy for us and we're actually working really hard against
it.
And as soon as, as soon as we stop acting hard against it, we naturally start being
this person that we've always tried really hard to be.
So, but the trying is actually getting in the way.
So we stopped trying and then we naturally become, we naturally show that we already
were the person that God has always said, you already are that, why are you working
so hard?
So anyway, so that's nice.
That's nice.
It's not something that we're going to have to.
to have to try for. So, yeah. Did anyone have, that was a good, that was a good way for us
to jump into that. So thanks. Does anyone have any questions or any thoughts or anything
that's been going on this past week that y'all have been thinking about or going through
with the Lord or anything? Everything been going good for you, Amy? Oh, I think she's
frozen. Oh, muted. There we go. Yeah, it's been good. You know, moving has been really,
not really stressful. It's been intense. Like, it's been tiring. Like, I've been working
morning to night for like five straight days. Sorry, I'm going to come in here so I'm not
bothering my boys are eating dinner. They're sitting with them. Oh, it's this idle plugin,
but yeah, it's been good. I've been having, I was going to talk to you about it, but I'll
mention it now since you're asking. Well, if I can get a light on in here, sorry. Everything's
half put together in the house. So, just like, there's a lot of just junk that, I mean, I
shouldn't say junk. I don't, I'm not a stuff person. I like to get rid of stuff and I like
to travel light and I move a lot. So, that usually helps. And of course, when you move,
you sort through a lot of things, but I feel like I have a lot of things that are dragging
me down. I try to get rid of a lot of things. I'd love to get rid of more. Just, it just
feels like stuff I've been dragging around with me for years. And a lot of it is, I mean,
seriously, probably about a third of the boxes were bins full of pictures and keepsakes from
40 years of raising eight kids. And so, it doesn't mean anything to me. I never look
at it. I just want to throw it all in the trash. And I mean, literally, and then I look
at boxes of journals and books and stuff. And I'm just like, I don't know. I just feel
like I want to toss it all. And anyway, that's kind of how I've been feeling. I don't know
if there's anything in there that you want to address or talk about that means anything
or if it's just life and living in first world countries where we have way too much stuff.
Well, so what's bothering you about it? The fact that you don't want to keep it
or the fact that you feel like you have to?
You're so good at nailing the actual problem. That's it. I feel like I have to keep it and
I don't want to. And then other stuff,
I don't, you know, it's like, I don't know. I don't know if practical stuff, if I should keep
it or, you know, it's all that feeling like, oh, if I throw it away, I'm going to need it.
But the bins of pictures and stuff is like,
I feel like I have to keep it. I never look at them. You know, my son Jonathan likes to look
at them, but I have so many. You never look at all of them. And this is back when we were printing
pictures. And I have so many digital ones from the last how many years they've been digital that I
haven't printed. And it's, it's just overwhelming. And I don't know what to do with it. I thought
about talking to my kids and see if they want to go through them and maybe do something with them.
Or take some of them. So that might be something I should do. Because literally,
if I went in my closet and show you how many bins of pictures I had.
And the most recent ones are probably at least 10 years old, if not more. So, which is a lot.
Because we've had, yeah, been focused so much on digital photography since then.
Been focused so much on digital photography since then. So you're saying, I'm sorry,
you say you said that you don't want to keep them, but you feel like you should,
so you feel guilty for wanting to get rid of them?
Um, I guess I, I guess I, I, I feel definitely conflicted about what I, what I should do with
them. You know, I just feel like I want a suitcase and a bed and that's it. You know, it's just,
stuff is very overwhelming to me. I don't deal well with a lot of stuff. I've always been kind
of a minimalist, you know, I have the five pairs of pants and 10 shirts and I don't even wear most
of those, you know, so I'm not a typical woman that likes a lot.
I think I can't mentally, can't mentally have a lot of things.
It's just overwhelming to me.
So anyway.
Well, it's funny that you should talk about this because I've been thinking for the past,
I guess, couple of weeks that I should probably do a, um, uh, I should do, do a live on it,
do a teaching on it.
So we'll, we'll just touch very briefly here.
Yeah.
So, but I was like, Oh yeah, yeah, I should do that.
And the Lord just kind of had it on my heart and I, um, then I was moving and, um, hadn't
done it yet.
So, um, hopefully that'll, that'll be coming soon, but just, just in general, I mean, like
what, like, uh, you know, what you were smiling about.
Yeah.
There's nothing that we have to feel that we should want and should keep, um, uh, those
things because we are, we're the sons of God.
Those things aren't, and they serve us.
We don't serve them.
They serve a particular purpose.
They express us, um, they fulfill a particular intention, um, that we have for them.
And then we can, and then we can just let them go.
Um, and there's no reason why we should feel like we have to keep them because, um, the
thing is that most people have their, their focus and their value because, you know,
wherever our heart is, there were, there were wherever our treasure is, there were
where there's where our heart will be also.
And your treasure is shifted.
Your, your, your treasure is on people.
I know you, your treasures on people and your treasures on the Lord.
It's not on the things.
And there's no reason to feel guilty that it's not on things.
Those things don't mean anything.
They don't have any value other than what we attribute to them.
And if we don't have, and, um, so just because someone else attributes value to
something that can burn, that can be stolen, doesn't mean that you have to, doesn't make
it wrong for someone else to have value on those things.
It just means that that just because they do that, that, that doesn't, that's not a
measurement or qualifier for you.
Um, so, uh, you should jet your home and your things should be a reflection of you and
your spirit and your home reflects something very different than my home.
It's not, not, and, and it needs that the Lord needed you and it needed your home in
the earth and it needs me and it needs my home in the earth because we each perform
different functions, different facets of the Lord's looking at a diamond from multiple
different directions.
And so it's the same diamond, but it's a different perspective of the same diamond
and it's both necessary.
Um, so it, it anyway, uh, I'm, I've gone from a 1400 square foot home.
I mean, not, not now, but I, I, um, like this past February, I've pared down from a
1400 fully furnished square foot, um, 1400 square foot home, two, two bedrooms, two
bath, fully furnished, fully stocked kitchen, nice stuff.
I mean, as if I, the only thing that, that, um, was different from than me from like
someone else is the fact that I didn't actually own the home.
Like, but other than that, I mean, I had the stuff that I bought was high quality.
I was set up for a lifetime and now I'm getting rid of 90 to 95% of it.
And I value was on all of those things and my value has shifted and my, my things now
reflect who I now am, who the Lord has shifted me into.
The Lord has shifted my treasure.
I used to have my treasure so much in things and it was very hard to get rid of the
until he just said, Ashley, you know, these things, you know, they don't, they don't
reflect who you are anymore.
You've matured, you've changed.
And they, um, he's, and he also said I was being burdened by them, that I was being
connected too much, um, uh, that my heart was being connected too much, uh, to the
earth.
And he wanted to sever the connections to give me more freedom.
Not, not, not freedom is in like the fact that I'll be traveling.
Cause there's that as well, but he was like, no, no, no.
Spiritually, Ashley, you need to, I give you the opportunity to live in more freedom
and you're being stifled.
You're stifling yourself and you're in chaining and you're enslaving yourself
because while some people can have a lot of things, could have a lot of things around
them and it could all burn and they'd be fine.
Me, my, my, uh, my treasures were in my things.
Um, they meant something to me.
They, they held an idea in a heart of a particular life, a particular lifestyle,
um, et cetera.
And, um, so the Lord wanted me to be free.
So in other words, my, my, my, um, I now look at each, literally each individual
article of clothing, each individual book, whatever, and think, okay, does this, does
this reflect who I am?
Does it reflect?
Like to what my desire and my treasure is or not. And if, and if the time for it is over. Well, then there's no need to keep it. Now the thing is, though, with your pictures.
Some of that, obviously, you know, it might mean something to your kids, especially if your kids want pictures of them when they were children.
Especially they now have children to be able to show them or be able to have pictures of, you know, with them when they were younger with all with you and their brothers and sisters and oh I remember this house and
Oh, I've been looking for this picture. Well, it might be important to them. So it's nice to give them the opportunity, but you don't, but your things need to reflect you. There's no need to feel guilty or anything. So, yeah.
Because you're the son of God. They aren't. Yeah, right.
Okay. Yeah, because there's some things I like, but there's some things I have that I just don't like. So I was thinking,
Well, maybe I shouldn't like any of my things, you know, because
That's where
Oh no, the Lord makes beautiful things we should love things we shouldn't be wish our hearts shouldn't be driven by them.
We should love things we love dogs. We love. I love my dog.
Dog.
I love clothes. So, um, I don't know what else do a lot of love books. I cannot believe how many books I've gotten rid of, like, I don't know, like 90% of the books that I own, which is shocking.
And and but I'm trying to think of what else I love. I love those. I love my sewing things and I like to so clothes and
So my goodness, that's hard. I've got these quilts from, you know, my great grandmother and I've got all kinds of stuff. Okay, so even stuff like that.
I've gotten rid of stuff you know that belongs to family members, you know, stuff with my great, great grandparents. But the thing is, I don't sell them.
I offer them to family members first because it's family stuff. Hey, is this important to you. This is for somebody in yeah sure surely somebody else wants to keep it, but
I've gotten rid of 90% of the stuff that I inherited from my great, great grandparents.
Because it's not important to me. It does not reflect me and I am more important than it and if it's weighing me down. I, it's a problem. God even Jesus even said if if
If you're, if you're, what did you say if your right arm causes you to sin. It's better that you cut it off.
Right.
My goodness, if you would say that about right arm.
Yeah, I think that I think that things for my great, great grandparents need to go to if if if they're just
If they're, they don't reflect me and they don't reflect who it is the Lord made me to be, but there's so much more I could say about this. I feel like I'm not really doing the subject justice tonight, but
And there's, there's a lot more that I wanted to put into into a live because I figured it would be a good way for us to because we express so much of our, our identity struggles.
And our, and our insecurity into our things. That's where they that's where they evidence themselves. They evidence themselves in our marriages and in our parenting and in our thing.
And so if I thought if I could kind of highlight some some some principles of how things
And so that we could actually see it come out in our possessions Luke, we could kind of look at our possessions of it differently.
It would kind of highlight some things in us that, oh, wow. I didn't realize that I was struggling in this area or didn't realize that this meant so much to me or that
This other thing doesn't mean a lot to me and I actually accumulated it out of guilt.
And so and so was getting rid of it. And I thought, oh, you really can't get rid of something that valuable, you know, or I really don't want to keep this but it's apparent. Everybody else thinks it's really special. Well, then they can have it.
Even if it could be a pearl necklace. But if it's not important to us, you know, the Lord that the Jesus wouldn't have kept it didn't wouldn't keep it, you know, so
Anyway,
I had a real
Eye opener about this about a year and a half ago when Renee had a retreat and some friends of hers offered their lake house beautiful lake house fully furnished just let 12 strangers come in and stay there. And I'm just like, it was just like
You know, amazing to me that I thought, wow, they're not attached to their stuff at all. And I've experienced that again since then with a smaller group and another lake house.
Where people just say, yeah, sure. Go use it. It's fine. Everything's there.
if anything breaks, let us know, you know, they're just totally not even attached to it at all. And
like, that's the way I want to be totally want to be not there yet. Because I've never had all
this stuff. I want all the stuff that other people I want the lake house with all the fun stuff in it,
you know, which anyway, but yeah, I think it'd be great if you do a do a live on that topic.
It'd be wonderful. Yeah, yeah. Like I said, I don't feel like I'm doing the subject just
justice tonight. So I've actually been helping somebody else move for the past two days. So
now it's back to me. So I've been I was working on me for I don't know, a week. And then I was
helping them for a couple of days. And then now it's back to me. And then the two of us
together and have a garage sale. But everybody's moving. I don't know what the deal is. I don't
know what the season is transition. So anyway, but yeah, did anyone have anything? And anything
else? Steph, how are you doing? I hadn't asked you. I'm good. I'm actually sitting here smirking
about the belongings because I got out of the car today when I got home from the store,
madder than a hornet. Someone had scratched from the front of my car all the way back.
And I literally this past weekend told Dan, well, it's eight years old, but it's only got 80,000
miles on it. It's paid for. Chloe's gonna start driving. I'm not gonna look for a new vehicle.
Like, there's nothing wrong with it. I'll keep it. I'll run as long as I can.
And then I see that, which it goes back to the first week I had that car. Someone scratched it
in a parking lot every dent and bump on it. I haven't done it. But it's like I said, I was so
mad because even if it's not new or the best, I take care of what I've got. So even like I told
you over the house where we're working on it's not finished, but it's a labor of love and we
take care of it. And it does mean something. At the same time, we're trying to clean out because
we are living here and working on it. And there's just too much junk, like way too much junk. So I'm
just sitting here smirking because this whole discussion has been like the story of my life
today. I came home from the store and everything. It's like, I'm done. I got a shower and I went to
bed at like three o'clock and took a nap. I'm done with this day. We're resetting.
Yeah, I did. I had to read it.
Tomorrow's always fresh.
Yeah.
So you said, yeah, that's why I was working the whole time.
Yeah.
So the other things do get in the way. That's one thing we try to teach your girls is
to take care of what you've got, things like that. So maybe we put too much weight on it,
but at the same time, we had a minivan discussion. That was like my whole goal for a while was I'm
going to work and earn enough and I'm going to buy myself that brand new van. Now I'm like,
nah, I don't want a car payment.
That's right. Priorities.
Yeah. And it's just not a priority, but at the same time, it just, it made me, it made me mad.
I was so upset. It's like, I'm trying to take care of my things. So yeah, not to let it be of great
value to me, but I guess it was more important than I thought it was.
Yeah, I know. Wait, I know that's the thing. Yeah. We, we think, we think we're good until
something happens and then we write down and cry. I did. I did in the driveway.
I'm sorry.
It's a hunk of metal that's eight years old and gets me from point A to point B,
but for some reason I was, I don't know, I guess a little attached. Of course I named,
named my vehicle and just random weird stuff like that. So yeah.
Yeah. I know. Yeah. It's kind of like a, kind of like an animal and you know,
if you're going to butcher the animal, don't name it.
Yes. I mean, I teach chicken. We're not going to do a chicken or we're not going to need a cow.
It's a beef cow. We're not going to name it. We won't be able to kill it when slaughtering time
comes. We name it and then come to find out the kids name it. And you're like, ah,
they've already asked if they can have some pet chickens, but Dan's like, that's not how it works.
I know. Yeah.
You know, there's a girl in the church that grew up on a farm and she said
that they got some, I don't know, bull or whatever. I'm probably calling it the wrong thing,
but they named it freezer because they knew it was going to be butchered. So they named it freezer.
There you go. Put it in the fruit, put it in the freezer. That's pretty cute. Yeah.
It's interesting is that the
Passover lamb. I've heard this, I haven't verified if it's true or not,
that they would take the lamb into their house and it would become
like a pet and then they would have to butcher it
on Passover. Is that true? Yes, yeah. I think so. In fact,
weirdly, the, in fact, doesn't it even say in the
Bible to do that? Isn't that part of like an
instruction to take it into your home? I could be wrong, but I thought it's even
in the Bible where it says take it into your home.
And then, but also, you know, the Muslims do the same thing
because they, that's what Ramadan,
I'm trying to remember, is it Ramadan? Okay,
yeah, in Turkish it's Ramazan, so it always confuses me
as which language I'm in. So yeah, Ramadan, I guess, is the English,
it's what they say in English. The, but yeah, they would get,
they would get a lamb and they would keep it for a
week. And of course, in the city, they didn't, you know,
most people, at least in Izmir, were in,
you know, apartments. And so they, the only place for the lamb
was on the, was on the balcony. So they would get a sheep and then they
would keep their sheep out on the balconies
for like a week. And the kids, of course, would love it,
name it, and all of that. Then come, come the end of the week,
they would take it out in this, in the middle of the street, in the city,
and slaughter it. You know, blood's running everywhere. It was very
interesting. You know, hanging from the scaffold,
dripping blood, it was lovely. Stunt to high heaven. Or they would go
out into the really big parks and then they would have like massive,
you know, killings and whatever. So, but they would do the same thing. They keep
it for like a week and they name it and they
get to know it and then make it a pet and all of that.
And then it's time, time to kill it. So yeah,
very interesting. Now, I don't know why the, why
they do that, but they, you know, they do believe that till until,
I don't know, some, they do believe in Moses and all, and a lot of the,
a lot of the, what do you call it, the, the code,
the law that was given to Moses, they do believe in a lot of that.
But they just believe that Ishmael was the son of the promise, so.
But anyway, but yeah, the, I think that is kind of funny that they,
they do name it. I think they, I think that's even one of the things is they,
they do name it. But yeah, but yeah, like what you were
saying, Steph, we don't, we don't realize how much
something means until something happens. And we don't, we don't realize that
we think, oh, well, it's just a hunk of metal. We just realize,
oh, well, it's, it just is this. And I just love it for its practical purpose
until something happens. And then we realize that we have other,
other things that we have that it actually means to us.
And then it becomes much more evident when something happens. And so that's
why I was talking about the fact that I figured that this live was
important for me, that this teaching was important for me to do,
because even though it seemed like totally,
like at first glance, it might seem like totally irrelevant.
It, it's actually through our things that we see, just like through
how we operate in our marriages or how we operate in parenting,
that the, that our things reflect our,
not where our treasure is, they reflect our sense of identity,
our sense of security, that kind of thing.
We, we put our beliefs, our, that our possessions reflect our beliefs.
That's what I'm trying to say. And we talk so much about in our
Rest Intensive about our beliefs. Our, our possessions are what
physically manifest what it is that we believe.
Not just the sheer number, but what we buy
and why we buy it and how we accumulate it
and how stressed that we get about them. If we're trying so hard to save money
that we will, that we will, you know, keep things
that aren't of high quality because we're trying to save stuff.
But then, you know, because that can evidence a poverty mentality. In other
words, God's not providing for me. And then there are other people who are
just like, they're just extremely, you know, extravagant and,
and they're, when I say extravagant, meaning like they're,
they're spending too much money on too many things and they're going into debt
and that can also reflect things about what they believe. The
problem is always the belief. It's not in the things.
And so I thought, oh, maybe I should do one about, about things because that's
when we can start seeing what it is that we really believe about ourselves.
I can face-to-face with myself when, when I go through all of my things.
That's the hard part, is you just get.
Or in that's why people don't like to do it is they come face to face with themselves when they go through all of their things.
I think I will.
I think that's the most frustrating thing for me is like, why do I have this crappy stuff.
And why do I hang on to this piddly stuff like I was looking at. I mean, I used to have a sewing box, y'all are too young. Well, if you're any of you. So you may understand it.
That one box and it had all this stuff in it. She would she had a sewing machine and she would so things now and then she was
Far from a seamstress at all. But, you know, back in the day, everyone had a sewing machine. They
You know, so to a certain degree. And, and so I when I got married. I got a sewing box, you know, and then eventually I was like, why do I have this box. So I just took what I needed and put it in like a little
Like been like skinny been it's like three and a half, four inches wide and it's just got some needles and thread and stuff like that. And
Well, even now that little been bothers me. I'm like, all I ever need is needle and thread. Why do I have some like throw things out of this pin. Why do I have rolls of elastic. I didn't never use this stuff and and I'm throwing it away and
Teared it down. But I mean, the reality is all I ever uses a needle and thread and that's rare.
It's just like that. It's just like, and then I have these, you know, you clean out your kitchen junk drawer.
And I cleaned that way down, but even most of the stuff that's in there. I have all these flashlights
And I'm like, we have flashlights on our phone. Now we don't need flashlights.
Use me.
Anyway,
We're just stressing me out all the little crap that we have
Sorry, I need to go.
Yeah, well, and you know what we always talk about is that
We need to learn to trust ourselves so you can learn to trust yourself in this as opposed to, well,
You know, I probably should have all this stuff. And if everybody else has all this stuff and they value this stuff. There must be something I'm missing.
And but really that again looking at wind and waves. It's not it and it's not trusting that we're that it's not trusting ourselves that we're actually hearing things in the spirit and
She's frozen.
Wasn't me this
You're muted.
There we go. Okay, so, um, it just, it kicked me out and then restarted, you know, you know, my zoom does that sometimes, um, what was I saying.
Oh yeah, trusting ourselves so that you know you're just thinking, oh, you're, you're just resisted in it in that in a bad way, but you're just, you know, putting yourself in the shoes of somebody who's not going to trust you.
And you're kind of pushing against all of this thing of, well, you know, why does it have to be this way. You know, I guess I have to be, you know, I guess that this is the way that that everybody else must know something. I don't. Well, we've all been following, but everybody else told us to do for our business.
But she froze again.
Look,
You're still muted.
I hope that my internet's not low. Well, it does show only two bars. Ooh, hopefully it's okay. Hopefully it'll last us another few minutes and
But anyway, so we have been following what other people have told us to do for our whole lives about about church God businesses.
And it's all gotten us to where we are now and is not a good place. So we decided to change. It's like, okay, the Lord is revealing something different. And there was something in our spirits that just told us
I think that there's something different. And so we just stepped out into it and we're just waiting for God, you know, just kind of showing so you know the same thing.
You know, for you, Amy, is that it doesn't matter whatever how everybody else what value that other people put on different things.
Right.
Trust, trust yourself and just ask the Lord, you know, okay, Lord, are you trying to reveal something me. Is there a particular way you desire me to live that I've never felt like I had permission for you or
That's good. Yeah, that's really good. Yeah, because you. I mean, now that you're saying all this is exactly how I feel like
well I'm supposed to have all this stuff I mean this is and then it just makes me
mad like I have to and and I see my son who lives with me who's you know he's
got his room obviously he's never had to deal with a family himself yet but you
know his life is so simple and he packed up his stuff and he moved it over and he
unpacked it and I'm just slaving for days and I'm like oh why do I have to
have to be responsible for all this stuff and so I think it's I think it's
an opportunity for me to practice hearing just letting the spirit lead me
like what do I need here what do I need a needle and thread and that's it okay
cool it was the rest um yeah cuz it feels really good to me to throw out
stuff it just feels really good that was what I loved about moving I was like so
ready just to like release things but my I don't know if it's a problem or not a
problem but it's funny that we put things in our little storage unit we
have here connected to our place and I still have boxes of things because it's
like sentimental value that I like and I don't know that I'll ever really look at
it or need it in the future but part of me is like well Skylar painted that for
me or like these are pictures from high school or things like that so I have
this like attachment I don't know if that's good or bad or waste of space
like I don't know but I've had that's the one things I struggled like parting
with even though they've been in these boxes since high school most of the
things but I just keep taking them with me to different places so dealing with
that right now actually we have when we got married we built like a garage
apartment just something small for us to start out we had Chloe there and it's
like a time capsule because we finished the house enough to move in and we
literally grabbed our stuff moved over here it's like oh we'll get that later
we're cleaning it out like now so I go back which I mean it there's nothing
perishable nothing gross we brought over the appliances all that but I go over
and the pictures are still on the wall it's like walking into a time capsule
that's eventually gonna be Dan's office and my workspace my sewing box is like
an 8x12 room right now that's gonna be my whole studio yeah it's yeah it's
legit so but part of me is like oh this is really comforting it's really cool
and the other parts like oh my gosh I kept that why do I still have this this
is from high school and I won't say how long ago that was so it is freeing to get
rid of stuff but at the same time I understand yeah there's stuff that I
don't know if I'll ever get rid of it it'll probably just go in a tote for
another 10 years right I'm like me I'm just gonna trunk and that'll be my
keepsake yeah yeah yeah I know you get the sentimentals are the hardest thing
and they always say that that's the last thing that the last category that you
want to do because you want to train yourself in practice on things that are
easier so that you can and what it is that you're just is you're doing is
you're not using some arbitrary measurement by which to tell yourself
what you should and shouldn't keep it's what do you what what do and what
reflects who you are now and who reflects the type of person you desire
to be not who you used to be but who you are now and what you want to go with you
into the future and and so they say that it's and so and it's true I've done
it myself and it's easiest to go it's easier to do as things look like say for
instance clothes first then books then whatever because it's easier for you to
begin to discern what it is you want and what your what your insides are telling
you what your spirit is telling you on certain things so that by the time you
get to the sentimentals which is really hard anyway it's it's easier for you to
know what your spirit is saying yes and no to but to start out with that one's
really hard because we haven't learned to discern it to figure out and when our
spirit is pulling towards something or when we're we're actually resisting
something but we're afraid to get rid of it out of some kind of a fear so and it
that's always the last one to deal with so I haven't even I've gone through a
lot of sentimentals and but I haven't gotten rid of all of them I mean it's to
the point where my mother's really concerned I'm getting getting throwing
getting rid of some of my my baby things and and I didn't tell mom this but I was
like well mom that they're mine and they're my toys and I'm ready to get it
rid of my baby things and this is somebody he's just scrapbook like
nobody's business because every tiny little scrap of anything that could
possibly have a meaning I mean and so the Lord is
Taking me from that to, you know, to what and he's walking into now to the point where I like had this little painted shoe and like this little baby quilt and all of that. And I'm like, no, it's not me anymore. I can get rid of that. But I'm still keeping my pink bear.
My stuffed pink bear. It was pinkie and I had a brown bear named brownie and a rabbit rabbit.
I was genius when it came to naming animals.
Yeah, we have brownie and blackie and I don't know what else.
Nothing like interesting like a white bear named cloud, you know, I mean, that would be good. That would be clever. But no, I've got pinky brownie. Anyway, so I still in keeping. I got rid of brownie, but I've got I've got ostrich and rabbit.
And and and pinky. Those are very important, but I'm getting rid of like my, my little baby Bible or my baby, my little like ceramic baby boot.
I mean, and a quilt that I don't know who made I think maybe even my grant made that for me.
Because they do not reflect who I am. And I've decided I am more important than those things.
And I just had to get rid of them. But it just took me all these years to get to that point. So what what the thing is that the that the things reflect who it is that I am.
And and I had to decide and discover who it is that I was and had to get very discerning about what my spirit was telling me
Who, who is my spirit. Now what's going with me into the future and and and
And to kind of stand up more in my identity. Who is it that God says that I am. And when I, the more that I know who it is that God says that I am the less I need the things to tell me who it is that I am.
Because, oh, who was I when I was in elementary school, who was I in high school, you know, whatever. God's the one who created me who I am those things didn't
And so the more that I have stood in my identity, the more I can let go of all of those things because they don't tell me who I am anymore. I don't have to look at them to remind myself.
I'm even getting to the point where I can get rid of some of my journals where I wrote down all of my emotional and spiritual processing.
Over the years and learning and those are very important to me to to a writer. It's very, very important. And I'm even getting to the point where I can get rid of those
At least some of them because they no longer tell me who I am because I'm finding out who I am. And so that's why our possessions and that's why I thought that the
The possessions and all that would be good to do because it's like it really is such a such an evidence to us that who it is that we are. Sorry, not who it is that we are, who it is that we what it is that we believe so that anyway, but yeah.
I did that too, for the first time, got rid of journals.
Sorry.
As anyone in our Dubai. I just want to say bye because I have to hop off work scholar. We're finally eating. It's 10 o'clock, so
But we're good to see you.
See you next week.
Bye.
Good to meet you.
Do
We lost Ashley. That's weird. It has Ashley, but it has a new Ashley.
There she is. You're muted.
I know. Oh, sorry. Okay. So what were you saying, Amy.
I said I did that for the first time. I never thought I would, but I would read my journals and they made me sick. I was like, oh, you know, that isn't who I am anymore.
So you must be rubbing off on me. But I threw out tons of yeah I'm a writer to tons of stuff like I had notebooks and notebooks full of stuff, not just journals, but just thoughts and ideas and revelation and stuff like that. And I'm like, I don't, I don't need these. I mean, the revelation is in me. I have it. I don't, you know what I'm saying. It's like,
And then when you unpack you get rid of more
Yeah, so
I'll be going through that stuff, probably with a fine tooth comb.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I'm glad to hear that this is so timely for everybody that man, I should have jumped. Well, I say I should have remember this and I shouldn't have, you know, apparently it's just all in the Lord's in the Lord's perfect time because I didn't feel like there was a time I was supposed to
stop and do it, which is why I hadn't done it yet.
But I just felt, I did feel like this was something
that he wanted me to do.
So as I kept testing for the time,
it just wasn't like the time yet.
And so that's good to hear that this is timely for everybody.
So, and I didn't know you were going
through your time capsule, Steph.
Yeah, we were, I actually, Sunday,
when I finally got to slow down on my birthday,
we were over there doing some stuff
and we have one giant bean bag,
which that's a whole nother story.
I replaced the girl's bean bags
and I didn't look at the measurements very well.
So for their bedroom, I bought two, four foot bean bags,
literally four foot across.
Huge.
So one of them ended up over there because it's ginormous.
So while Dan was working on stuff,
I just literally just dropped.
I just laid there and looked at all the pictures around.
I mean, Chloe and Abby's baby pictures,
all kinds of stuff.
I was like, I remember taking that.
It's literally like going back in time.
So I'm excited to fix it up, but at the same time,
I'm like, I don't know.
I don't know if I want to change it too much,
but that yellow's got to go.
I don't know what I was thinking
when I painted everything in that color,
but you live and learn.
It served its purpose.
It did.
It was nice for the moment.
It's pretty nice.
No longer who you are.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to remember that
because I have so much to clean out.
So I'll remember that trick.
Yes.
Yeah, I'll get on and try to do that pretty quick.
So yeah.
Okay.
Was there anything else before we jump off?
Anything that y'all wanted to talk about or anything?
Assuming no questions,
but I think y'all would have asked it by now,
but anything else?
Well, I just want to comment that even though
my move has been exhausting physically for me,
I haven't been like stressed
or like you were talking about earlier,
emotional ups and downs and all that.
It's been physically exhausting and it's kind of weird
because even though I'm tired physically,
I just, I feel better to keep going than stopping,
which is odd.
I don't know what that's all about,
but I've never experienced that before.
It's like, oh, I actually feel better when I keep moving
than sitting still, I feel tired.
I don't know, it was weird.
But just the emotional, normally I think I just,
when you were talking about it earlier,
I thought that's interesting because it's been exhausting
and I feel like I've been running a marathon for five days.
One day, the day the movers came Monday,
I got up and hit the floor running.
I was like, I have to clean out the fridge.
I was like, that was the first thing I was,
I literally didn't even drink a cup of coffee all day.
I got up and I hit, literally hit the floor running
and did not stop until I went to bed that night
at like midnight.
And so then get up the next morning and do it again.
And I had to go back to the house
and load up the little stuff in my car
and go pick up the lady that was helping me clean.
And we had to clean the whole house and then go back.
I mean, I went back and forth between where we are now,
which is 20 minutes away.
So I did like two hours worth of driving.
I did three trips back and forth that day
and cleaning and everything.
But I didn't like ever feel depressed or frustrated
or angry or, which, you know,
I never like popped off at anybody.
And anyway, it was-
During your moves, you usually feel all this.
I just thinking how easily I get overwhelmed
and how that usually affects me emotionally.
And I'm just thinking about how it didn't really.
Now something else today did affect me emotionally,
but the moving and all that, which was very exhausting.
And today I got up and it was just like,
I couldn't do it anymore.
And I had a meeting, a Zoom meeting at 9.30
and I got all dressed and ready for that.
I did my Zoom meeting and then I went back to bed at 10.30.
And I lay there like a rock.
I didn't really sleep.
I just didn't move until like noon.
And then I got up and I was like,
okay, I think I'm ready for the day.
So anyway, but yeah, I think that was pretty significant
that I didn't really go off the deep end
during all of this.
Yeah, that is, that's good.
I'm glad to hear that.
That's always exciting to get to hear, you know,
different ways that we don't realize how we've shifted
and what it is that we believe.
And therefore it evidences itself in us behaving
in a way that we aren't used to behaving.
So, you know, our belief affects our behavior
without us having to work on our behavior.
behavior. So, yeah, yeah, exactly.
I'm glad. Well, it was good to visit with y'all.
Yeah, you as well. Yes.
All right. Well, y'all have a good night.
Thanks. Bye.
Good to see y'all. Bye bye.
