I want to talk to you today about "kiss it goodbye."
00:01:40.390 --> 00:01:42.759
About "kiss it goodbye." there's a lady in the
00:01:42.825 --> 00:01:43.526
There's a lady in the scripture named naomi.
00:01:43.593 --> 00:01:45.695
She left bethlehem with her
00:01:45.895 --> 00:01:47.564
She left bethlehem with her husband and two sons

They had plenty of food. life was good until her
00:01:55.038 --> 00:01:56.773
Life was good until her husband unexpectedly died.
00:01:56.839 --> 00:01:59.642
Husband unexpectedly died. she'd never dreamed
00:01:59.709 --> 00:02:00.476
She'd never dreamed she'd be a widow.
00:02:00.543 --> 00:02:02.111
She'd be a widow. ten years later, both of her
00:02:02.178 --> 00:02:04.013
Ten years later, both of her grown sons passed away.
00:02:04.080 --> 00:02:06.349
Grown sons passed away. she was so discouraged she
00:02:06.416 --> 00:02:08.117
She was so discouraged she decided to move back home
00:02:08.184 --> 00:02:09.619
Decided to move back home to bethlehem.
00:02:09.686 --> 00:02:10.920
To bethlehem. she told her two
00:02:10.987 --> 00:02:12.121
She told her two daughters-in-law, ruth and
00:02:12.188 --> 00:02:14.357
Daughters-in-law, ruth and orpah, that they should move
00:02:14.424 --> 00:02:16.292
Orpah, that they should move back to their hometowns
00:02:16.359 --> 00:02:17.527
Back to their hometowns as well and start a new life.
00:02:17.594 --> 00:02:19.996
As well and start a new life. ruth said, "no, naomi.
00:02:20.063 --> 00:02:21.197
Ruth said, "no, naomi. i'm staying with you.
00:02:21.264 --> 00:02:22.765
I'm staying with you. i'm going to bethlehem
00:02:22.832 --> 00:02:23.933
I'm going to bethlehem to help take care of you."
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.001
To help take care of you." the other daughter-in-law,
00:02:25.068 --> 00:02:27.003
The other daughter-in-law, orpah, took her advice and
00:02:27.070 --> 00:02:29.239
Orpah, took her advice and said she was going to leave
00:02:29.305 --> 00:02:30.640
Said she was going to leave and move back home.
00:02:30.707 --> 00:02:32.442
And move back home. you would think naomi would
00:02:32.508 --> 00:02:34.444
You would think naomi would have been a little sour
00:02:34.510 --> 00:02:36.279
Have been a little sour and thought,
00:02:36.346 --> 00:02:36.946
And thought, "after all i've done
00:02:37.013 --> 00:02:37.914
"after all i've done for you, orpah,
00:02:37.981 --> 00:02:39.282
For you, orpah, you're going to leave me now
00:02:39.349 --> 00:02:41.050
You're going to leave me now at my lowest moment?
00:02:41.117 --> 00:02:42.852
At my lowest moment? you can go get remarried.
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:44.387
You can go get remarried. you can find another job.
00:02:44.454 --> 00:02:45.955
You can find another job. i'm an old lady.
00:02:46.022 --> 00:02:47.323
I'm an old lady. who's going to take care
00:02:47.390 --> 00:02:48.258
Who's going to take care of me?"
00:02:48.324 --> 00:02:49.292
Of me?" she could have felt betrayed,
00:02:49.359 --> 00:02:51.127
She could have felt betrayed, insulted.
00:02:51.194 --> 00:02:52.495
Insulted. instead, the scripture says
00:02:52.562 --> 00:02:54.564
Instead, the scripture says naomi kissed orpah goodbye.
00:02:54.631 --> 00:02:58.401
Naomi kissed orpah goodbye. orpah represented
00:02:58.468 --> 00:02:59.736
Orpah represented the broken dreams, the hurts,
00:02:59.802 --> 00:03:02.205
The broken dreams, the hurts, the disappointments,
00:03:02.272 --> 00:03:03.206
The disappointments, the things she
00:03:03.273 --> 00:03:03.873
The things she didn't understand.
00:03:03.940 --> 00:03:05.675
Didn't understand. naomi was saying,
00:03:05.742 --> 00:03:07.010
Naomi was saying, by that kiss, "life has
00:03:07.076 --> 00:03:08.845
By that kiss, "life has thrown me a curve.
00:03:08.911 --> 00:03:10.346
Thrown me a curve. it hasn't been fair,
00:03:10.413 --> 00:03:11.948
It hasn't been fair, but i'm at peace.
00:03:12.015 --> 00:03:13.416
But i'm at peace. i know god is still
00:03:13.483 --> 00:03:14.250
I know god is still in control."
00:03:14.317 --> 00:03:15.885
In control." if you're going to reach
00:03:15.952 --> 00:03:16.686
If you're going to reach your destiny, you have
00:03:16.753 --> 00:03:18.154
Your destiny, you have to learn to kiss things
00:03:18.221 --> 00:03:20.123
To learn to kiss things goodbye.
00:03:20.189 --> 00:03:21.691
Goodbye. you're not going understand
00:03:21.758 --> 00:03:23.126
You're not going understand everything that happens.
00:03:23.192 --> 00:03:24.894
Everything that happens. people may walk away.
00:03:24.961 --> 00:03:26.696
People may walk away. life may not turn out
00:03:26.763 --> 00:03:27.964
Life may not turn out the way you thought.
00:03:28.031 --> 00:03:29.499
The way you thought. it's easy to get bitter, hold
00:03:29.565 --> 00:03:31.634
It's easy to get bitter, hold a grudge, lose your passion,
00:03:31.701 --> 00:03:34.003
A grudge, lose your passion, but do like naomi.
00:03:34.070 --> 00:03:35.471
But do like naomi. kiss the bitterness goodbye.
00:03:35.538 --> 00:03:37.707
Kiss the bitterness goodbye. kiss the person that left
00:03:37.774 --> 00:03:39.108
Kiss the person that left you goodbye.
00:03:39.175 --> 00:03:40.476
You goodbye. kiss the dream that didn't
00:03:40.543 --> 00:03:41.844
Kiss the dream that didn't work out goodbye.
00:03:41.911 --> 00:03:43.746
Work out goodbye. god wouldn't have allowed it
00:03:43.813 --> 00:03:45.281
God wouldn't have allowed it to happen if he didn't have
00:03:45.348 --> 00:03:46.916
To happen if he didn't have something better up in front
00:03:46.983 --> 00:03:48.418
Something better up in front of you, but sometimes
00:03:48.484 --> 00:03:50.720
Of you, but sometimes god will close the door.
00:03:50.787 --> 00:03:52.455
God will close the door. he'll move people out
00:03:52.522 --> 00:03:53.723
He'll move people out of your life.
00:03:53.790 --> 00:03:55.124
Of your life. there are people and
00:03:55.191 --> 00:03:56.859
There are people and opportunities that were
00:03:56.926 --> 00:03:58.561
Opportunities that were ordained for your past
00:03:58.628 --> 00:04:00.563
Ordained for your past that are not ordained
00:04:00.630 --> 00:04:01.731
That are not ordained for your future.
00:04:01.798 --> 00:04:03.366
For your future. they were right for a season,
00:04:03.433 --> 00:04:05.401
They were right for a season, but that season can come
00:04:05.468 --> 00:04:07.036
But that season can come to an end.
00:04:07.103 --> 00:04:08.371
To an end. the key is how we handle
00:04:08.438 --> 00:04:10.606
The key is how we handle the closed doors,
00:04:10.673 --> 00:04:12.075
The closed doors, how you handle
00:04:12.141 --> 00:04:12.809
How you handle the disappointments,
00:04:12.875 --> 00:04:14.077
The disappointments, how you handle the people
00:04:14.143 --> 00:04:15.611
How you handle the people that treated you wrong.
00:04:15.678 --> 00:04:17.213
That treated you wrong. sometimes instead
00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:18.481
Sometimes instead of kissing them goodbye,
00:04:18.548 --> 00:04:19.916
Of kissing them goodbye, we smack them goodbye.
00:04:19.982 --> 00:04:22.118
We smack them goodbye. "good riddance.
00:04:22.185 --> 00:04:23.252
"good riddance. i didn't like you
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:23.920
I didn't like you in the first place.
00:04:23.986 --> 00:04:25.154
In the first place. don't let the door hit you
00:04:25.221 --> 00:04:26.289
Don't let the door hit you on the way out."
00:04:26.356 --> 00:04:27.590
On the way out." naomi could have turned away
00:04:27.657 --> 00:04:29.892
Naomi could have turned away angry, thought, "i'm not
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:31.327
Angry, thought, "i'm not going to kiss you, orpah.
00:04:31.394 --> 00:04:32.695
Going to kiss you, orpah. some friend you are."
00:04:32.762 --> 00:04:34.230
Some friend you are." that would have kept her
00:04:34.297 --> 00:04:35.398
That would have kept her from the new things
00:04:35.465 --> 00:04:36.399
From the new things god had in store.
00:04:36.466 --> 00:04:38.201
God had in store. she moved back
00:04:38.267 --> 00:04:39.001
She moved back to bethlehem with her
00:04:39.068 --> 00:04:40.370
To bethlehem with her daughter-in-law, ruth.
00:04:40.436 --> 00:04:42.071
Daughter-in-law, ruth. ruth married boaz, a wealthy
00:04:42.138 --> 00:04:44.440
Ruth married boaz, a wealthy man that owned all the land.
00:04:44.507 --> 00:04:46.609
Man that owned all the land. they had a baby.
00:04:46.676 --> 00:04:48.111
They had a baby. naomi took care of their son
00:04:48.177 --> 00:04:50.646
Naomi took care of their son like he was her own.
00:04:50.713 --> 00:04:52.715
Like he was her own. after all she had been
00:04:52.782 --> 00:04:53.916
After all she had been through, all the broken
00:04:53.983 --> 00:04:55.618
Through, all the broken dreams, all the loss, while
00:04:55.685 --> 00:04:57.520
Dreams, all the loss, while holding the little baby,
00:04:57.587 --> 00:04:59.122
Holding the little baby, naomi said, in effect,
00:04:59.188 --> 00:05:00.923
Naomi said, in effect, "i never dreamed i could be
00:05:00.990 --> 00:05:02.792
"i never dreamed i could be this happy, this fulfilled."
00:05:02.859 --> 00:05:05.395
This happy, this fulfilled." her latter days were better
00:05:05.461 --> 00:05:07.363
Her latter days were better than her former days.
00:05:07.430 --> 00:05:08.898
Than her former days. god knows how to give you
00:05:08.965 --> 00:05:10.433
God knows how to give you beauty for ashes.
00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:12.034
Beauty for ashes. he knows how to turn mourning
00:05:12.101 --> 00:05:13.936
He knows how to turn mourning into dancing, but it would
00:05:14.003 --> 00:05:15.805
Into dancing, but it would have never happened if she
00:05:15.872 --> 00:05:17.507
Have never happened if she had not kissed orpah goodbye.
00:05:17.573 --> 00:05:20.643
Had not kissed orpah goodbye. are you at peace with your
00:05:20.710 --> 00:05:21.878
Are you at peace with your past, or are you bitter over
00:05:21.944 --> 00:05:24.213
Past, or are you bitter over the loss, upset because your
00:05:24.280 --> 00:05:26.315
The loss, upset because your plans didn't work out,
00:05:26.382 --> 00:05:27.950
Plans didn't work out, holding a grudge because
00:05:28.017 --> 00:05:29.452
Holding a grudge because that person walked away?
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:31.320
That person walked away? it's time to kiss
00:05:31.387 --> 00:05:32.922
It's time to kiss some things goodbye.
00:05:32.989 --> 00:05:34.857
Some things goodbye. don't bring bitterness
00:05:34.924 --> 00:05:35.992
Don't bring bitterness into a new year.
00:05:36.058 --> 00:05:37.593
Into a new year. don't bring self-pity, a chip
00:05:37.660 --> 00:05:39.529
Don't bring self-pity, a chip on your shoulder.
00:05:39.595 --> 00:05:40.563
On your shoulder. that was in your past.
00:05:40.630 --> 00:05:42.165
That was in your past. it doesn't belong
00:05:42.231 --> 00:05:43.166
It doesn't belong in the future.
00:05:43.232 --> 00:05:44.400
In the future. you cannot embrace the new
00:05:44.467 --> 00:05:46.202
You cannot embrace the new things god has in store
00:05:46.269 --> 00:05:48.137
Things god has in store as long as you're holding
00:05:48.204 --> 00:05:49.205
As long as you're holding onto the old.
00:05:49.272 --> 00:05:51.107
Onto the old. my father went to be with
00:05:51.174 --> 00:05:52.275
My father went to be with the lord back in 1999,
00:05:52.341 --> 00:05:54.510
The lord back in 1999, some 20 years ago.
00:05:54.577 --> 00:05:56.512
Some 20 years ago. i lost one of
00:05:56.579 --> 00:05:57.346
I lost one of my best friends.
00:05:57.413 --> 00:05:58.681
My best friends. i still miss him,
00:05:58.748 --> 00:05:59.882
I still miss him, but i realize the loss
00:05:59.949 --> 00:06:01.751
But i realize the loss of my father is in my past.
00:06:01.818 --> 00:06:04.253
Of my father is in my past. it's not in my future.
00:06:04.320 --> 00:06:06.255
It's not in my future. if i would have brought
00:06:06.322 --> 00:06:07.056
If i would have brought all the hurt, the questions,
00:06:07.123 --> 00:06:09.192
All the hurt, the questions, the self-pity,
00:06:09.258 --> 00:06:10.326
The self-pity, i wouldn't be where i am.
00:06:10.393 --> 00:06:12.628
I wouldn't be where i am. you won't have the strength
00:06:12.695 --> 00:06:13.963
You won't have the strength to move forward if you're
00:06:14.030 --> 00:06:15.731
To move forward if you're weeping over what's behind,
00:06:15.798 --> 00:06:18.201
Weeping over what's behind, takes a lot of energy to
00:06:18.267 --> 00:06:19.602
Takes a lot of energy to think about the past, relive
00:06:19.669 --> 00:06:21.804
Think about the past, relive the hurts, wonder why
00:06:21.871 --> 00:06:23.439
The hurts, wonder why it didn't work out.
00:06:23.506 --> 00:06:25.174
It didn't work out. that person you lost, if they
00:06:25.241 --> 00:06:26.909
That person you lost, if they were supposed to be here,
00:06:26.976 --> 00:06:28.644
Were supposed to be here, they would still be here.
00:06:28.711 --> 00:06:30.613
They would still be here. if somebody left you,
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:31.881
If somebody left you, i say it respectfully,
00:06:31.948 --> 00:06:33.216
I say it respectfully, you don't need them.
00:06:33.282 --> 00:06:35.084
You don't need them. if it didn't work out
00:06:35.151 --> 00:06:36.252
If it didn't work out the way you had planned,
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:37.687
The way you had planned, it wasn't supposed to.
00:06:37.753 --> 00:06:39.322
It wasn't supposed to. god's ways are not our ways.
00:06:39.388 --> 00:06:41.791
God's ways are not our ways. will you trust him when it
00:06:41.858 --> 00:06:43.159
Will you trust him when it doesn't make sense?
00:06:43.226 --> 00:06:44.894
Doesn't make sense? a friend of mine owned a very
00:06:44.961 --> 00:06:46.095
A friend of mine owned a very successful business.
00:06:46.162 --> 00:06:47.997
For years, he was a leader
00:06:48.231 --> 00:06:49.532
For years, he was a leader in his field, saw all kinds
00:06:49.599 --> 00:06:51.400
In his field, saw all kinds of growth and increase.
00:06:51.467 --> 00:06:53.603
Of growth and increase. he had big dreams to leave
00:06:53.669 --> 00:06:55.137
He had big dreams to leave his company to his children,
00:06:55.204 --> 00:06:56.973
His company to his children, to continue the legacy.
00:06:57.039 --> 00:06:58.875
To continue the legacy. after 25 years, things
00:06:58.941 --> 00:07:00.810
After 25 years, things started to slow down.
00:07:00.877 --> 00:07:02.378
Started to slow down. the competition around him
00:07:02.445 --> 00:07:03.880
The competition around him increased, so he started
00:07:03.946 --> 00:07:05.748
Increased, so he started working harder,
00:07:05.815 --> 00:07:06.949
Working harder, going in earlier.
00:07:07.016 --> 00:07:08.484
Going in earlier. i would call him, and he was
00:07:08.551 --> 00:07:10.152
I would call him, and he was meeting with staff at
00:07:10.219 --> 00:07:11.387
Meeting with staff at 6 in the morning.
00:07:11.454 --> 00:07:12.855
6 in the morning. he was determined
00:07:12.922 --> 00:07:13.789
He was determined to make it work.
00:07:13.856 --> 00:07:15.057
To make it work. he did everything he possibly
00:07:15.124 --> 00:07:17.059
He did everything he possibly could, but god is called
00:07:17.126 --> 00:07:19.061
The alpha and the omega,
00:07:19.262 --> 00:07:21.931
The alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end.
00:07:21.998 --> 00:07:24.400
The beginning and the end. we get excited about the
00:07:24.467 --> 00:07:26.135
We get excited about the beginning, talk a lot about
00:07:26.202 --> 00:07:27.837
Beginning, talk a lot about god doing a new thing,
00:07:27.904 --> 00:07:29.639
God doing a new thing, but we don't hear a lot
00:07:29.705 --> 00:07:30.640
But we don't hear a lot about the omega,
00:07:30.706 --> 00:07:32.074
About the omega, the end, but just as god
00:07:32.141 --> 00:07:34.977
The end, but just as god opens doors, sometimes
00:07:35.044 --> 00:07:36.846
Opens doors, sometimes god will close a door.
00:07:36.913 --> 00:07:38.648
God will close a door. he'll bring things to an end,
00:07:38.714 --> 00:07:39.949
He'll bring things to an end, and this can be hard for us
00:07:40.016 --> 00:07:42.084
Because it feels like
00:07:42.351 --> 00:07:43.553
Because it feels like a setback.
00:07:43.619 --> 00:07:44.253
A setback. after all the hard work,
00:07:44.320 --> 00:07:46.722
After all the hard work, my friend's company
00:07:46.789 --> 00:07:47.723
My friend's company didn't make it.
00:07:47.790 --> 00:07:49.191
Didn't make it. he was so discouraged.
00:07:49.258 --> 00:07:50.726
He was so discouraged. for several months, he would
00:07:50.793 --> 00:07:51.827
For several months, he would hardly talk on the phone.
00:07:51.894 --> 00:07:53.763
Hardly talk on the phone. he told me how he felt
00:07:53.829 --> 00:07:54.964
He told me how he felt like a failure.
00:07:55.031 --> 00:07:56.332
Like a failure. he had all these plans, but
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:57.867
He had all these plans, but it didn't work out the way he
00:07:57.934 --> 00:07:59.769
It didn't work out the way he thought, and i told him
00:07:59.835 --> 00:08:01.704
What i'm telling you.
00:08:01.904 --> 00:08:02.972
What i'm telling you. the best thing you can do
00:08:03.039 --> 00:08:04.440
The best thing you can do is just kiss it goodbye.
00:08:04.507 --> 00:08:06.876
Is just kiss it goodbye. don't bring a failure from
00:08:06.943 --> 00:08:08.644
Don't bring a failure from yesterday into today.
00:08:08.711 --> 00:08:11.113
Yesterday into today. if one dream dies, get back
00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:13.316
If one dream dies, get back up, and dream another dream.
00:08:13.382 --> 00:08:15.484
He got his passion back
00:08:15.751 --> 00:08:17.320
He got his passion back and went out and started
00:08:17.386 --> 00:08:18.754
And went out and started a consulting business.
00:08:18.821 --> 00:08:20.856
A consulting business. all kinds of doors began
00:08:20.923 --> 00:08:22.525
All kinds of doors began to open.
00:08:22.592 --> 00:08:23.492
To open. today, he has more clients,
00:08:23.559 --> 00:08:25.428
Today, he has more clients, more influence,
00:08:25.494 --> 00:08:26.596
More influence, more opportunities
00:08:26.662 --> 00:08:27.997
More opportunities than he's ever had.
00:08:28.064 --> 00:08:29.365
Than he's ever had. his new company is many times
00:08:29.432 --> 00:08:31.767
More successful than his old.
00:08:32.034 --> 00:08:34.670
More successful than his old. when life doesn't turn out
00:08:34.737 --> 00:08:36.405
When life doesn't turn out the way you thought,
00:08:36.472 --> 00:08:37.773
The way you thought, remind yourself god is still
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.909
Remind yourself god is still in control.
00:08:39.976 --> 00:08:41.377
In control. instead of being sour,
00:08:41.444 --> 00:08:43.179
Instead of being sour, losing your joy, kiss the
00:08:43.245 --> 00:08:45.081
Losing your joy, kiss the disappointment goodbye.
00:08:45.147 --> 00:08:47.216
Disappointment goodbye. quit reliving mistakes you've
00:08:47.283 --> 00:08:49.085
Quit reliving mistakes you've made, things that you wish
00:08:49.151 --> 00:08:50.953
Made, things that you wish you would have done
00:08:51.020 --> 00:08:51.654
You would have done different, wondering
00:08:51.721 --> 00:08:52.521
Different, wondering why it didn't work out.
00:08:52.588 --> 00:08:54.323
Why it didn't work out. like my friend, you may have
00:08:54.390 --> 00:08:56.125
Like my friend, you may have done your best, given it your
00:08:56.192 --> 00:08:58.160
Done your best, given it your all, but it didn't succeed.
00:08:58.227 --> 00:09:00.429
All, but it didn't succeed. accept it as god's plan
00:09:00.496 --> 00:09:02.765
Accept it as god's plan and move on.
00:09:02.832 --> 00:09:04.400
And move on. our attitude should be,
00:09:04.467 --> 00:09:05.601
Our attitude should be, "god, i trust you not
00:09:05.668 --> 00:09:07.770
"god, i trust you not just with my successes.
00:09:07.837 --> 00:09:09.772
Just with my successes. i trust you with my failures.
00:09:09.839 --> 00:09:11.841
I trust you with my failures. i trust you with
00:09:11.907 --> 00:09:12.575
I trust you with the betrayals.
00:09:12.642 --> 00:09:13.643
The betrayals. i trust you with the things
00:09:13.709 --> 00:09:14.777
I trust you with the things that don't make sense."
00:09:14.844 --> 00:09:16.612
That don't make sense." when you kiss the past
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:18.014
When you kiss the past goodbye, it releases you
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.282
Goodbye, it releases you into your future.
00:09:20.349 --> 00:09:22.118
Into your future. you have to be at peace
00:09:22.184 --> 00:09:23.919
You have to be at peace with what's behind you.
00:09:23.986 --> 00:09:25.855
With what's behind you. it's not enough to just move
00:09:25.921 --> 00:09:27.123
It's not enough to just move forward angry, bitter,
00:09:27.189 --> 00:09:29.392
Forward angry, bitter, mad at god.
00:09:29.458 --> 00:09:31.327
Mad at god. that's why naomi
00:09:31.394 --> 00:09:32.395
That's why naomi kissed orpah.
00:09:32.461 --> 00:09:34.196
Kissed orpah. it was symbolizing,
00:09:34.263 --> 00:09:35.931
It was symbolizing, "this is painful.
00:09:35.998 --> 00:09:37.299
"this is painful. i don't like it.
00:09:37.366 --> 00:09:38.401
I don't like it. i feel betrayed,
00:09:38.467 --> 00:09:39.802
I feel betrayed, but i'm at peace."
00:09:39.869 --> 00:09:41.437
But i'm at peace." takes maturity to kiss things
00:09:41.504 --> 00:09:43.539
Takes maturity to kiss things that don't feel good.
00:09:43.606 --> 00:09:45.441
This is what the prophet
00:09:45.708 --> 00:09:46.676
This is what the prophet samuel had to do.
00:09:46.742 --> 00:09:48.377
Samuel had to do. he spent years mentoring
00:09:48.444 --> 00:09:50.212
He spent years mentoring a young man named saul.
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.415
A young man named saul. he took him under his wing,
00:09:52.481 --> 00:09:54.050
He took him under his wing, and he trained him to become
00:09:54.116 --> 00:09:55.351
And he trained him to become the next king of israel.
00:09:55.418 --> 00:09:57.520
The next king of israel. you can imagine how proud
00:09:57.586 --> 00:09:59.121
You can imagine how proud samuel was when he saw this
00:09:59.188 --> 00:10:01.190
Samuel was when he saw this young man now grown
00:10:01.257 --> 00:10:03.292
Young man now grown and leading the israelites.
00:10:03.359 --> 00:10:05.394
And leading the israelites. everyone looked up
00:10:05.461 --> 00:10:06.429
Everyone looked up to king saul.
00:10:06.495 --> 00:10:07.630
To king saul. he was tall and handsome.
00:10:07.697 --> 00:10:09.298
He was tall and handsome. he looked like a king,
00:10:09.365 --> 00:10:11.000
He looked like a king, but over time,
00:10:11.067 --> 00:10:12.134
But over time, saul got off course.
00:10:12.201 --> 00:10:13.969
Saul got off course. he made poor decisions.
00:10:14.036 --> 00:10:15.738
He made poor decisions. he eventually lost
00:10:15.805 --> 00:10:17.039
He eventually lost the throne.
00:10:17.106 --> 00:10:18.407
The throne. samuel was so disappointed.
00:10:18.474 --> 00:10:20.576
He thought, "god,
00:10:20.776 --> 00:10:21.477
He thought, "god, i put all this time
00:10:21.544 --> 00:10:22.645
I put all this time and energy into him.
00:10:22.712 --> 00:10:24.280
And energy into him. i've invested my life,
00:10:24.346 --> 00:10:25.748
I've invested my life, and it seems like it was
00:10:25.815 --> 00:10:27.083
And it seems like it was all a big waste."
00:10:27.149 --> 00:10:29.418
All a big waste." you would think god would
00:10:29.485 --> 00:10:30.453
You would think god would say, "i understand, samuel.
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.288
Say, "i understand, samuel. too bad.
00:10:32.354 --> 00:10:32.922
Too bad. it didn't work out," but god
00:10:32.988 --> 00:10:35.124
It didn't work out," but god didn't let him feel sorry
00:10:35.191 --> 00:10:36.525
Didn't let him feel sorry for himself.
00:10:36.592 --> 00:10:37.793
For himself. he said, "samuel,
00:10:37.860 --> 00:10:38.794
He said, "samuel, how long are you going
00:10:38.861 --> 00:10:40.730
How long are you going to mourn over saul?"
00:10:40.796 --> 00:10:42.798
To mourn over saul?" god is asking us, "how long
00:10:42.865 --> 00:10:45.334
God is asking us, "how long are you going to mourn over
00:10:45.401 --> 00:10:46.602
Are you going to mourn over what you've lost?
00:10:46.669 --> 00:10:47.269
What you've lost? how long are you going to be
00:10:47.336 --> 00:10:49.405
How long are you going to be discouraged over who hurt you
00:10:49.472 --> 00:10:51.841
Discouraged over who hurt you and what you didn't get and
00:10:51.907 --> 00:10:53.476
And what you didn't get and the boss that wasn't fair?"
00:10:53.542 --> 00:10:55.711
The boss that wasn't fair?" i don't believe in giving
00:10:55.778 --> 00:10:57.313
I don't believe in giving people the right to feel
00:10:57.379 --> 00:10:58.647
People the right to feel sorry for themselves,
00:10:58.714 --> 00:11:00.216
Sorry for themselves, not because they don't have
00:11:00.282 --> 00:11:01.550
Not because they don't have a good reason.
00:11:01.617 --> 00:11:02.752
A good reason. some people have gone through
00:11:02.818 --> 00:11:04.019
Some people have gone through things that nobody should
00:11:04.086 --> 00:11:05.187
Things that nobody should have to go through,
00:11:05.254 --> 00:11:06.889
Have to go through, but i've learned,
00:11:06.956 --> 00:11:07.957
But i've learned, if you stay in self-pity,
00:11:08.023 --> 00:11:10.326
If you stay in self-pity, with a chip on your
00:11:10.392 --> 00:11:11.227
With a chip on your shoulder, thinking you have
00:11:11.293 --> 00:11:12.828
Shoulder, thinking you have a reason to live
00:11:12.895 --> 00:11:13.896
A reason to live defeated, you will see never
00:11:13.963 --> 00:11:15.564
Defeated, you will see never the vindication,
00:11:15.631 --> 00:11:17.733
The vindication, the restoration,
00:11:17.800 --> 00:11:18.768
The restoration, the promotion, the favor
00:11:18.834 --> 00:11:20.703
That belongs to you.
00:11:20.903 --> 00:11:22.271
That belongs to you. god wants to pay you back
00:11:22.338 --> 00:11:24.240
God wants to pay you back for what was unfair.
00:11:24.306 --> 00:11:26.108
For what was unfair. don't sit around
00:11:26.175 --> 00:11:26.909
Don't sit around in self-pity.
00:11:26.976 --> 00:11:28.210
In self-pity. kiss the bad break goodbye.
00:11:28.277 --> 00:11:30.646
Kiss the bad break goodbye. kiss the unfair childhood
00:11:30.713 --> 00:11:32.114
Kiss the unfair childhood goodbye.
00:11:32.181 --> 00:11:32.948
Goodbye. kiss that injustice goodbye.
00:11:33.015 --> 00:11:35.017
Kiss that injustice goodbye. god told samuel,
00:11:35.084 --> 00:11:37.520
God told samuel, "fill your horn with oil.
00:11:37.586 --> 00:11:39.522
"fill your horn with oil. i am sending you to
00:11:39.588 --> 00:11:40.523
I am sending you to the house of jesse.
00:11:40.589 --> 00:11:42.124
The house of jesse. i have chosen one of his sons
00:11:42.191 --> 00:11:44.293
I have chosen one of his sons as the next king."
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:45.961
As the next king." god was saying, "samuel,
00:11:46.028 --> 00:11:47.496
God was saying, "samuel, if you'll kiss this
00:11:47.563 --> 00:11:48.764
If you'll kiss this disappointment goodbye and
00:11:48.831 --> 00:11:50.800
Disappointment goodbye and start moving forward,
00:11:50.866 --> 00:11:52.735
I'll show you the new king."
00:11:52.935 --> 00:11:54.837
I'll show you the new king." one of your dreams
00:11:54.904 --> 00:11:56.038
One of your dreams they have died.
00:11:56.105 --> 00:11:57.173
They have died. that didn't stop god's plan.
00:11:57.239 --> 00:11:59.108
That didn't stop god's plan. he has another dream.
00:11:59.175 --> 00:12:01.043
He has another dream. one relationship may
00:12:01.110 --> 00:12:02.278
One relationship may not have worked out.
00:12:02.344 --> 00:12:03.779
Not have worked out. if you'll kiss goodbye
00:12:03.846 --> 00:12:05.047
If you'll kiss goodbye the old, god will show you
00:12:05.114 --> 00:12:06.715
The old, god will show you the new.
00:12:06.782 --> 00:12:08.083
The new. david went on to become
00:12:08.150 --> 00:12:09.485
David went on to become the greatest king
00:12:09.552 --> 00:12:10.486
The greatest king that ever lived.
00:12:10.553 --> 00:12:12.154
That ever lived. when god makes up for what
00:12:12.221 --> 00:12:13.722
When god makes up for what you lost, it's not going
00:12:13.789 --> 00:12:15.324
You lost, it's not going to be less than.
00:12:15.391 --> 00:12:16.525
To be less than. it's not going to be equal.
00:12:16.592 --> 00:12:17.927
It's not going to be equal. it's going to be better.
00:12:17.993 --> 00:12:19.562
It's going to be better. just because it hasn't turned
00:12:19.628 --> 00:12:21.197
Just because it hasn't turned out the way you thought
00:12:21.263 --> 00:12:22.798
Out the way you thought doesn't mean you have to
00:12:22.865 --> 00:12:23.833
Doesn't mean you have to settle for second best.
00:12:23.899 --> 00:12:25.868
Settle for second best. god has to come up
00:12:25.935 --> 00:12:26.836
God has to come up with a plan b.
00:12:26.902 --> 00:12:27.970
With a plan b. god already knew
00:12:28.037 --> 00:12:28.938
God already knew what would happen.
00:12:29.004 --> 00:12:30.206
What would happen. he knew every door
00:12:30.272 --> 00:12:31.173
He knew every door that would close.
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:32.074
That would close. he knew every person
00:12:32.141 --> 00:12:33.108
He knew every person that would walk away.
00:12:33.175 --> 00:12:34.443
That would walk away. he knew how you'd spend
00:12:34.510 --> 00:12:35.644
He knew how you'd spend time and energy but a dream
00:12:35.711 --> 00:12:37.446
Time and energy but a dream not come to pass.
00:12:37.513 --> 00:12:39.148
Not come to pass. all that is getting you
00:12:39.215 --> 00:12:40.683
All that is getting you prepared for where god
00:12:40.749 --> 00:12:42.284
Prepared for where god is taking you.
00:12:42.351 --> 00:12:43.619
Is taking you. now, don't get stuck mourning
00:12:43.686 --> 00:12:45.788
Now, don't get stuck mourning over saul, disappointed
00:12:45.855 --> 00:12:47.756
Over saul, disappointed over a bad break,
00:12:47.823 --> 00:12:49.191
Over a bad break, bitter because of a loss.
00:12:49.258 --> 00:12:50.926
Bitter because of a loss. kiss it goodbye, move
00:12:50.993 --> 00:12:52.728
Kiss it goodbye, move forward, and you will see
00:12:52.795 --> 00:12:54.330
Forward, and you will see your davids.
00:12:54.396 --> 00:12:55.231
Your davids. you will see more than you
00:12:55.297 --> 00:12:56.565
You will see more than you could ask or think.
00:12:56.632 --> 00:12:58.567
When we were trying
00:12:58.834 --> 00:12:59.468
When we were trying to buy property to build
00:12:59.535 --> 00:13:01.136
To buy property to build a new sanctuary, twice,
00:13:01.203 --> 00:13:03.272
A new sanctuary, twice, the land we found was sold
00:13:03.339 --> 00:13:05.474
The land we found was sold out from under us.
00:13:05.541 --> 00:13:07.042
Out from under us. we had an appointment at 8:00
00:13:07.109 --> 00:13:08.711
We had an appointment at 8:00 in the morning to close
00:13:08.777 --> 00:13:10.412
In the morning to close on the first property.
00:13:10.479 --> 00:13:11.847
On the first property. we showed up at 7:45.
00:13:11.914 --> 00:13:13.883
The secretary walked out
00:13:14.149 --> 00:13:15.284
The secretary walked out and said, "i'm sorry.
00:13:15.351 --> 00:13:16.485
And said, "i'm sorry. the owner sold the property
00:13:16.552 --> 00:13:17.987
The owner sold the property last night."
00:13:18.053 --> 00:13:19.388
Last night." i couldn't believe that
00:13:19.455 --> 00:13:20.089
I couldn't believe that he didn't keep his word.
00:13:20.155 --> 00:13:22.024
I went home so disappointed,
00:13:22.224 --> 00:13:23.726
I went home so disappointed, and i told victoria what
00:13:23.792 --> 00:13:25.227
And i told victoria what happened and how we didn't
00:13:25.294 --> 00:13:27.029
Happened and how we didn't have the property and how
00:13:27.096 --> 00:13:28.564
Have the property and how we'd never be able to build,
00:13:28.631 --> 00:13:30.366
We'd never be able to build, how we were stuck, how we
00:13:30.432 --> 00:13:31.600
How we were stuck, how we couldn't keep growing.
00:13:31.667 --> 00:13:33.269
Couldn't keep growing. i had a sad song, and i
00:13:33.335 --> 00:13:35.004
I had a sad song, and i thought i was convincing.
00:13:35.070 --> 00:13:36.805
Thought i was convincing. she looked at me and said,
00:13:36.872 --> 00:13:37.773
She looked at me and said, "joel, god is still
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:39.675
On the throne.
00:13:39.909 --> 00:13:40.776
On the throne. this is not a surprise
00:13:40.843 --> 00:13:42.011
This is not a surprise to him.
00:13:42.077 --> 00:13:42.845
To him. we are going to stay in faith
00:13:42.912 --> 00:13:44.680
We are going to stay in faith and believe something
00:13:44.747 --> 00:13:45.814
And believe something better is coming."
00:13:45.881 --> 00:13:47.549
Better is coming." i didn't want to hear that.
00:13:47.616 --> 00:13:49.151
I didn't want to hear that. i wanted to feel sorry
00:13:49.218 --> 00:13:50.085
I wanted to feel sorry for myself.
00:13:50.152 --> 00:13:50.753
For myself. the flesh likes to have
00:13:50.819 --> 00:13:53.055
The flesh likes to have a pity party.
00:13:53.122 --> 00:13:54.523
A pity party. she was telling me what
00:13:54.590 --> 00:13:55.524
She was telling me what i'm telling you.
00:13:55.591 --> 00:13:56.358
I'm telling you. kiss it goodbye.
00:13:56.425 --> 00:13:57.326
Kiss it goodbye. move forward.
00:13:57.393 --> 00:13:59.228
Move forward. when things happen like that
00:13:59.295 --> 00:14:00.796
When things happen like that that you don't understand,
00:14:00.863 --> 00:14:02.398
That you don't understand, you can be sure god is
00:14:02.464 --> 00:14:04.333
You can be sure god is up to something.
00:14:04.400 --> 00:14:05.534
Up to something. he is working behind
00:14:05.601 --> 00:14:06.869
He is working behind the scenes, and i came back
00:14:06.936 --> 00:14:08.938
The scenes, and i came back to a place of peace.
00:14:09.004 --> 00:14:10.606
To a place of peace. i knew, if god wanted us
00:14:10.673 --> 00:14:12.408
I knew, if god wanted us to have that property,
00:14:12.474 --> 00:14:13.909
To have that property, no person could have
00:14:13.976 --> 00:14:14.810
No person could have stopped us,
00:14:14.877 --> 00:14:16.245
Stopped us, and just the opposite.
00:14:16.312 --> 00:14:17.680
And just the opposite. if god doesn't want us to
00:14:17.746 --> 00:14:19.281
If god doesn't want us to have something, all of our
00:14:19.348 --> 00:14:21.083
Have something, all of our efforts won't make it happen.
00:14:21.150 --> 00:14:23.619
Efforts won't make it happen. he's the alpha and the omega.
00:14:23.686 --> 00:14:26.488
He's the alpha and the omega. he knows how to not only open
00:14:26.555 --> 00:14:28.791
He knows how to not only open doors that no man can shut.
00:14:28.857 --> 00:14:31.026
Doors that no man can shut. he knows how to close doors
00:14:31.093 --> 00:14:32.795
He knows how to close doors that no man can open.
00:14:32.861 --> 00:14:35.197
That no man can open. are you upset over a door god
00:14:35.264 --> 00:14:37.333
Are you upset over a door god closed, people he moved out
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:39.335
Closed, people he moved out of your life, a dream he
00:14:39.401 --> 00:14:41.003
Of your life, a dream he didn't let come to pass yet?
00:14:41.070 --> 00:14:43.539
Didn't let come to pass yet? six months later, we received
00:14:43.605 --> 00:14:45.274
Six months later, we received word that the compaq center
00:14:45.341 --> 00:14:47.109
Word that the compaq center was coming available.
00:14:47.176 --> 00:14:48.978
Was coming available. right then, i knew why
00:14:49.044 --> 00:14:50.279
Right then, i knew why those doors closed.
00:14:50.346 --> 00:14:51.947
Those doors closed. buying property would have
00:14:52.014 --> 00:14:53.449
Buying property would have been second best.
00:14:53.515 --> 00:14:55.150
Been second best. that would have been
00:14:55.217 --> 00:14:55.851
That would have been keeping saul.
00:14:55.918 --> 00:14:57.086
Keeping saul. the compaq center is david,
00:14:57.152 --> 00:14:59.121
The compaq center is david, more than we can imagine.
00:14:59.188 --> 00:15:01.357
I'm asking you to be at peace
00:15:01.590 --> 00:15:04.059
I'm asking you to be at peace with your past, peace with
00:15:04.126 --> 00:15:06.228
With your past, peace with things you don't understand,
00:15:06.295 --> 00:15:08.163
Things you don't understand, not bitter, not angry, not
00:15:08.230 --> 00:15:10.099
Not bitter, not angry, not with a chip on your shoulder.
00:15:10.165 --> 00:15:12.034
Maybe you didn't have
00:15:12.267 --> 00:15:13.068
Maybe you didn't have a good childhood.
00:15:13.135 --> 00:15:14.636
A good childhood. nobody was there
00:15:14.703 --> 00:15:15.437
Nobody was there to speak faith into you.
00:15:15.504 --> 00:15:17.239
To speak faith into you. god knew how you
00:15:17.306 --> 00:15:18.240
God knew how you would be raised.
00:15:18.307 --> 00:15:19.641
Would be raised. that's not going to keep you
00:15:19.708 --> 00:15:20.776
That's not going to keep you from your destiny.
00:15:20.843 --> 00:15:22.244
From your destiny. it's leading you
00:15:22.311 --> 00:15:22.978
It's leading you to your destiny.
00:15:23.045 --> 00:15:24.480
To your destiny. kiss it goodbye,
00:15:24.546 --> 00:15:25.514
Kiss it goodbye, and move forward.
00:15:25.581 --> 00:15:26.915
And move forward. you can't become who you were
00:15:26.982 --> 00:15:29.318
You can't become who you were created to be with a chip on
00:15:29.385 --> 00:15:31.487
Created to be with a chip on your shoulder, thinking that
00:15:31.553 --> 00:15:33.055
Your shoulder, thinking that you're at a disadvantage.
00:15:33.122 --> 00:15:34.156
You're at a disadvantage. if you'll take the hand
00:15:34.223 --> 00:15:36.325
If you'll take the hand you've been dealt and make
00:15:36.392 --> 00:15:37.926
You've been dealt and make the most of it, god will open

God has people already ordained that you can't make
00:20:41.863 --> 00:20:44.299
Ordained that you can't make leave, people that want
00:20:44.366 --> 00:20:45.600
Leave, people that want to celebrate you,
00:20:45.667 --> 00:20:46.468
To celebrate you, people that love

People that love spending time with you.
00:20:47.502 --> 00:20:49.071
Spending time with you. if somebody wants to leave,
00:20:49.137 --> 00:20:51.139
If somebody wants to leave, let them leave.
00:20:51.206 --> 00:20:52.574
Let them leave. your destiny is not tied to
00:20:52.641 --> 00:20:54.643
Your destiny is not tied to the people that walked away.
00:20:54.710 --> 00:20:56.511
The people that walked away. be respectful, but kiss
00:20:56.578 --> 00:20:58.313
Be respectful, but kiss the orpahs goodbye.
00:20:58.380 --> 00:21:00.649
God told abraham to leave
00:21:00.882 --> 00:21:02.851
God told abraham to leave his relatives and move
00:21:02.918 --> 00:21:04.353
His relatives and move to a different city.
00:21:04.419 --> 00:21:05.887
To a different city. i'm sure he loved
00:21:05.954 --> 00:21:06.688
I'm sure he loved his relatives.
00:21:06.755 --> 00:21:07.789
His relatives. for a season, everything was
00:21:07.856 --> 00:21:09.291
For a season, everything was fine, but when god was about
00:21:09.358 --> 00:21:11.426
Fine, but when god was about to promote abraham and do
00:21:11.493 --> 00:21:13.528
To promote abraham and do something big in his life,
00:21:13.595 --> 00:21:15.497
Something big in his life, he knew his relatives
00:21:15.564 --> 00:21:17.532
He knew his relatives and the people
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:18.200
And the people where he lived wouldn't be
00:21:18.266 --> 00:21:19.801
Where he lived wouldn't be able to handle it.
00:21:19.868 --> 00:21:21.570
Able to handle it. the people closest to you may
00:21:21.636 --> 00:21:23.972
The people closest to you may not see the greatness in you.
00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:26.708
Not see the greatness in you. when they're familiar,
00:21:26.775 --> 00:21:28.210
When they're familiar, they can dismiss you
00:21:28.276 --> 00:21:29.511
They can dismiss you as just being ordinary.
00:21:29.578 --> 00:21:31.446
Sometimes you have to kiss
00:21:31.713 --> 00:21:33.048
Sometimes you have to kiss people goodbye so you can
00:21:33.115 --> 00:21:34.883
People goodbye so you can become all you were
00:21:34.950 --> 00:21:36.084
Become all you were created to be.
00:21:36.151 --> 00:21:38.019
This is what my father
00:21:38.220 --> 00:21:38.987
This is what my father had to do.
00:21:39.054 --> 00:21:39.988
Had to do. at 17, he knew he had more in
00:21:40.055 --> 00:21:42.724
At 17, he knew he had more in him, but his parents told him
00:21:42.791 --> 00:21:44.760
Him, but his parents told him to just stay on the farm
00:21:44.826 --> 00:21:46.027
To just stay on the farm and pick cotton with them
00:21:46.094 --> 00:21:47.629
And pick cotton with them the rest of his life.
00:21:47.696 --> 00:21:48.997
The rest of his life. they loved my father.
00:21:49.064 --> 00:21:50.932
They were trying to protect
00:21:51.199 --> 00:21:52.000
They were trying to protect him, but they couldn't see
00:21:52.067 --> 00:21:53.435
Him, but they couldn't see his seeds of greatness.
00:21:53.502 --> 00:21:55.570
His seeds of greatness. they didn't see a man that
00:21:55.637 --> 00:21:56.638
They didn't see a man that would touch nations.
00:21:56.705 --> 00:21:57.973
Would touch nations. they just saw their son,
00:21:58.039 --> 00:21:59.641
They just saw their son, nothing special.
00:21:59.708 --> 00:22:00.442
Nothing special. "he's just one of us."
00:22:00.509 --> 00:22:02.244
"he's just one of us." my father very respectfully
00:22:02.310 --> 00:22:04.446
My father very respectfully kissed them goodbye and went
00:22:04.513 --> 00:22:06.281
Kissed them goodbye and went out and started ministering.
00:22:06.348 --> 00:22:08.283
Out and started ministering. god opened amazing doors.
00:22:08.350 --> 00:22:10.318
God opened amazing doors. he went on to leave his mark.
00:22:10.385 --> 00:22:12.754
He went on to leave his mark. don't let people talk you out
00:22:12.821 --> 00:22:14.956
Don't let people talk you out of what god put in your heat.
00:22:15.023 --> 00:22:17.125
Of what god put in your heat. when you come to the end of

When you come to the end of life, you're not going to
00:22:18.360 --> 00:22:19.694
Life, you're not going to have to stand before people
00:22:19.761 --> 00:22:21.430
Have to stand before people and give an account.
00:22:21.496 --> 00:22:22.731
And give an account. you're going to stand
00:22:22.798 --> 00:22:23.398
You're going to stand before god.
00:22:23.465 --> 00:22:25.000
Before god. i would rather disappoint
00:22:25.066 --> 00:22:26.568
I would rather disappoint people than disappoint god.
00:22:26.635 --> 00:22:29.004
People than disappoint god. i would rather hurt
00:22:29.070 --> 00:22:29.738
I would rather hurt a few feelings than
00:22:29.805 --> 00:22:30.972
A few feelings than to miss my destiny.
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:33.074
To miss my destiny. is there something you need
00:22:33.141 --> 00:22:34.609
Is there something you need to kiss goodbye?
00:22:34.676 --> 00:22:35.444
To kiss goodbye? a hurt, a bad attitude,
00:22:35.510 --> 00:22:38.113
A hurt, a bad attitude, an area that you're
00:22:38.180 --> 00:22:39.080
An area that you're compromising in?
00:22:39.147 --> 00:22:40.749
Compromising in? don't bring it into
00:22:40.816 --> 00:22:41.683
Don't bring it into a new year.
00:22:41.750 --> 00:22:42.551
A new year. that's in your past, doesn't
00:22:42.617 --> 00:22:44.286
That's in your past, doesn't belong in your future.
00:22:44.352 --> 00:22:46.121
Belong in your future. the apostle paul said,
00:22:46.188 --> 00:22:47.689
The apostle paul said, "forgetting what lies behind,
00:22:47.756 --> 00:22:50.125
"forgetting what lies behind, i press to
00:22:50.192 --> 00:22:51.126
I press to the high calling."
00:22:51.193 --> 00:22:52.794
The high calling." if there's a high calling,
00:22:52.861 --> 00:22:54.496
If there's a high calling, that means there's
00:22:54.563 --> 00:22:55.197
That means there's a low calling.
00:22:55.263 --> 00:22:56.698
A low calling. you can go through life
00:22:56.765 --> 00:22:57.899
You can go through life holding onto hurts, wrong
00:22:57.966 --> 00:22:59.634
Holding onto hurts, wrong attitudes, with people that
00:22:59.701 --> 00:23:01.236
Attitudes, with people that are not good for you, but
00:23:01.303 --> 00:23:02.804
