00:47:04.452 --> 00:47:07.154
Retreat gerardo had a changed heart and went to see kathy.
00:47:07.288 --> 00:47:07.955
Heart and went to see kathy. i'm really i said.
00:47:08.089 --> 00:47:11.492
I'm really i said. i understand it's you know i'm
00:47:11.626 --> 00:47:15.363
I understand it's you know i'm the culprit.
00:47:15.496 --> 00:47:15.796
The culprit. i'm to blame for a lot lot of
00:47:15.930 --> 00:47:18.566
I'm to blame for a lot lot of it.
00:47:18.699 --> 00:47:18.833
It. >> gerardo had had you a come
00:47:18.966 --> 00:47:21.936
>> gerardo had had you a come to jesus moment with our
00:47:22.069 --> 00:47:22.570
To jesus moment with our marriage.
00:47:22.703 --> 00:47:22.937
Marriage. i think he finally took
00:47:23.070 --> 00:47:26.274
I think he finally took responsibility for the state
00:47:26.407 --> 00:47:29.910
Responsibility for the state that i was in wasn't all
00:47:30.044 --> 00:47:30.578
That i was in wasn't all brought about by by myself that
00:47:30.711 --> 00:47:33.648
Brought about by by myself that i didn't get there alone.
00:47:33.781 --> 00:47:34.315
I didn't get there alone. >> it was little by little by
00:47:34.448 --> 00:47:35.249
>> it was little by little by little since she met me and now
00:47:35.383 --> 00:47:38.219
Little since she met me and now we're both in that path that
00:47:38.352 --> 00:47:41.789
We're both in that path that god wanted us to be.
00:47:41.922 --> 00:47:44.859
God wanted us to be. >> if you knew us from back
00:47:44.992 --> 00:47:45.993
>> if you knew us from back then all bets were against us
00:47:46.127 --> 00:47:49.597
Then all bets were against us all friends that oh.
00:47:49.730 --> 00:47:52.833
All friends that oh. >> this is never going to last
00:47:52.967 --> 00:47:56.237
>> this is never going to last .
00:47:56.370 --> 00:47:56.470
. this year married 30 years.
00:47:56.604 --> 00:47:59.674
This year married 30 years. 30.
00:48:02.043 --> 00:48:02.510
30. and i gave him all the credit.
00:48:02.643 --> 00:48:07.448
And i gave him all the credit. >> we spent so many years of
00:48:07.581 --> 00:48:10.718
>> we spent so many years of our lives just chasing after
00:48:10.851 --> 00:48:11.552
Our lives just chasing after god but until we finally just
00:48:11.686 --> 00:48:14.922
God but until we finally just surrendered to could we really
00:48:15.056 --> 00:48:18.326
Surrendered to could we really see what he could do?
00:48:18.459 --> 00:48:18.926
See what he could do? >> i mean, only god could take
00:48:19.060 --> 00:48:22.129
>> i mean, only god could take a marriage that was so messed
00:48:22.263 --> 00:48:25.700
A marriage that was so messed like our marriage and turn it
00:48:25.833 --> 00:48:26.534
Like our marriage and turn it into this.
00:48:26.667 --> 00:48:29.804
Into this. i won't say perfect but i can't
00:48:29.937 --> 00:48:32.973
I won't say perfect but i can't imagine.
00:48:33.107 --> 00:48:33.341
Imagine. sometimes i look around at
00:48:33.474 --> 00:48:34.041
Sometimes i look around at people in my crew.
00:48:34.175 --> 00:48:34.575
People in my crew. they laugh each other as as
00:48:34.709 --> 00:48:36.510
They laugh each other as as much as we do like we have to
00:48:36.644 --> 00:48:37.378
Much as we do like we have to love each other more than any
00:48:37.511 --> 00:48:40.348
Love each other more than any body else loves each other and
00:48:40.481 --> 00:48:41.082
Body else loves each other and that's only god.
00:48:41.215 --> 00:48:43.851
That's only god. >> what story of god's
00:48:43.984 --> 00:48:48.122
>> what story of god's redemption?
00:48:48.255 --> 00:48:48.522
Redemption? you know it's never too late.
00:48:48.656 --> 00:48:51.926
You know it's never too late. i'm sure there are some of you
00:48:52.059 --> 00:48:52.793
I'm sure there are some of you who are in relationship right
00:48:52.927 --> 00:48:56.163
Who are in relationship right now where you think well that
00:48:56.297 --> 00:48:56.897
Now where you think well that worked for them.
00:48:57.031 --> 00:48:59.867
Worked for them. it couldn't possibly work for
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:00.601
It couldn't possibly work for me.
00:49:00.735 --> 00:49:00.868
Me. you know jesus is in the
00:49:01.001 --> 00:49:03.804
You know jesus is in the restoration business.
00:49:03.938 --> 00:49:04.372
Restoration business. it's what happened the cross
00:49:04.505 --> 00:49:07.475
It's what happened the cross actually where we get set free
00:49:07.608 --> 00:49:10.644
Actually where we get set free from our selfishness, from our
00:49:10.778 --> 00:49:11.479
From our selfishness, from our self focus, our woundedness the
00:49:11.612 --> 00:49:15.316
Self focus, our woundedness the things that drive us to do
00:49:15.449 --> 00:49:16.083
Things that drive us to do foolish.
00:49:16.217 --> 00:49:18.352
Foolish. you know gerardo said all that
00:49:18.486 --> 00:49:21.989
You know gerardo said all that time that he was becoming more
00:49:22.123 --> 00:49:22.757
Time that he was becoming more and more successful more and
00:49:22.890 --> 00:49:26.026
And more successful more and more famous that he would say
00:49:26.160 --> 00:49:26.761
More famous that he would say oh god, when i get to point i'm
00:49:26.894 --> 00:49:29.463
Oh god, when i get to point i'm going to be ready to really
00:49:29.597 --> 00:49:30.297
Going to be ready to really declare you are.
00:49:30.431 --> 00:49:34.068
Declare you are. it's funny how we lie to
00:49:34.201 --> 00:49:34.902
It's funny how we lie to ourselves when when we're
00:49:35.035 --> 00:49:37.471
Ourselves when when we're living in our sin isn't it?
00:49:37.605 --> 00:49:38.139
Living in our sin isn't it? because we don't don't want to
00:49:38.272 --> 00:49:41.175
Because we don't don't want to face how broken we really are
00:49:41.308 --> 00:49:42.009
Face how broken we really are underneath all of that
00:49:42.143 --> 00:49:45.079
Underneath all of that underneath the unfaithfulness
00:49:45.212 --> 00:49:48.115
Underneath the unfaithfulness underneath the deceit under all
00:49:48.249 --> 00:49:48.849
Underneath the deceit under all of that just the fear of the
00:49:48.983 --> 00:49:52.553
Of that just the fear of the ugliness who we are all alone
00:49:52.686 --> 00:49:55.923
Ugliness who we are all alone by ourselves.
00:49:56.056 --> 00:49:56.357
By ourselves. we are sinners in need of a
00:49:56.490 --> 00:50:00.227
We are sinners in need of a safe.
00:50:00.361 --> 00:50:00.528
Safe. here you are.
00:50:00.661 --> 00:50:00.961
Here you are. i am we all and yet the god who
00:50:01.095 --> 00:50:07.301
I am we all and yet the god who created us who breathed life
00:50:07.435 --> 00:50:08.035
Created us who breathed life into us the bible says he knew
00:50:08.169 --> 00:50:11.405
Into us the bible says he knew how many days we would live
00:50:11.539 --> 00:50:14.975
How many days we would live before we were ever born.
00:50:15.109 --> 00:50:15.643
Before we were ever born. he knew what we were going to
00:50:15.776 --> 00:50:16.410
He knew what we were going to be while we were being formed
00:50:16.544 --> 00:50:17.211
Be while we were being formed in stomachs.
00:50:17.344 --> 00:50:18.446
In stomachs. i mean he had plan and purpose
00:50:18.579 --> 00:50:22.116
I mean he had plan and purpose for us and how foolishly we
00:50:22.249 --> 00:50:22.950
For us and how foolishly we stumble along a long time
00:50:23.083 --> 00:50:26.220
Stumble along a long time sometimes thinking we can make
00:50:26.353 --> 00:50:26.987
Sometimes thinking we can make all of of that come together we
00:50:27.121 --> 00:50:30.424
All of of that come together we cannot.
00:50:30.558 --> 00:50:33.294
Cannot. and yet this amazing god
00:50:33.427 --> 00:50:37.064
And yet this amazing god creator of all that is waits
00:50:37.198 --> 00:50:37.998
Creator of all that is waits for you for me he waits for us
00:50:38.132 --> 00:50:41.602
For you for me he waits for us to come to the end of ourselves
00:50:41.735 --> 00:50:44.672
To come to the end of ourselves .
00:50:44.805 --> 00:50:44.905
. >> you know in this instance
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:45.906
>> you know in this instance both people had to come to the
00:50:46.040 --> 00:50:49.510
Both people had to come to the end of themselves.
00:50:49.643 --> 00:50:50.044
End of themselves. it's why we say that we
00:50:50.177 --> 00:50:53.414
It's why we say that we surrender our lives to jesus.
00:50:53.547 --> 00:50:56.884
Surrender our lives to jesus. we let go.
00:50:57.017 --> 00:50:57.318
We let go. we give it all to him.
00:50:57.451 --> 00:50:58.085
We give it all to him. we god make me what you created
00:50:58.219 --> 00:51:01.088
We god make me what you created to me to me to be makes
00:51:01.222 --> 00:51:04.658
To me to me to be makes something significant out of my
00:51:04.792 --> 00:51:05.426
Something significant out of my life like that for your life.
00:51:05.559 --> 00:51:08.262
Life like that for your life. >> i one of the things we
00:51:08.395 --> 00:51:11.832
>> i one of the things we hunger after in our lives is to
00:51:11.966 --> 00:51:12.600
Hunger after in our lives is to know that we have you'll never
00:51:12.733 --> 00:51:15.035
Know that we have you'll never know what your purpose is if
00:51:15.169 --> 00:51:18.739
Know what your purpose is if you're trying to define all of
00:51:18.873 --> 00:51:19.507
You're trying to define all of that on your own.
00:51:19.640 --> 00:51:22.443
That on your own. but the moment you surrender
00:51:22.576 --> 00:51:23.143
But the moment you surrender and come to jesus christ begins
00:51:23.277 --> 00:51:25.946
And come to jesus christ begins to reveal who he first and then
00:51:26.080 --> 00:51:28.716
To reveal who he first and then who he wants to be to you and
00:51:28.849 --> 00:51:29.783
Who he wants to be to you and he you to surrender all of your
00:51:29.917 --> 00:51:32.953
He you to surrender all of your life to him you can't earn it
00:51:33.087 --> 00:51:36.757
Life to him you can't earn it any other way.
00:51:36.891 --> 00:51:37.224
Any other way. you can't do good, can't you
00:51:37.358 --> 00:51:40.561
You can't do good, can't you can't manage enough things to
