>> joyce: if you're thinking something
00:01:24.974 --> 00:01:25.575
>> joyce: if you're thinking something and you don't know
00:01:25.642 --> 00:01:28.178
Thinking something and you don't know how to stop thinking it,
00:01:28.244 --> 00:01:29.579
And you don't know how to stop thinking it, the way to get it to stop
00:01:29.646 --> 00:01:31.614
How to stop thinking it, the way to get it to stop is to open your mouth
00:01:31.681 --> 00:01:32.849
The way to get it to stop is to open your mouth and say what the bible says.
00:01:32.916 --> 00:01:36.452
Is to open your mouth and say what the bible says. because you can't be saying one
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:38.221
And say what the bible says. because you can't be saying one thing and thinking something
00:01:38.288 --> 00:01:39.322
Because you can't be saying one thing and thinking something else at the same time.
00:01:39.389 --> 00:01:41.457
Thing and thinking something else at the same time. so, i don't care if you have
00:01:41.524 --> 00:01:42.959
Else at the same time. so, i don't care if you have to say, "god loves me,"
00:01:43.026 --> 00:01:45.528
So, i don't care if you have to say, "god loves me," a hundred times every
00:01:45.595 --> 00:01:46.696
To say, "god loves me," a hundred times every day until you get it.
00:01:46.763 --> 00:01:49.132
A hundred times every day until you get it. repetition is important.
00:01:49.199 --> 00:01:52.569
Day until you get it. repetition is important. meditation is which
00:01:52.635 --> 00:01:55.405
Repetition is important. meditation is which the christian world is,
00:01:55.471 --> 00:01:57.740
Meditation is which the christian world is, let the devil turn that
00:01:57.807 --> 00:01:58.775
The christian world is, let the devil turn that into something, you know.
00:01:58.841 --> 00:02:02.278
Let the devil turn that into something, you know. "you meditate,
00:02:02.345 --> 00:02:02.946
Into something, you know. "you meditate, isn't that an eastern religion
00:02:03.012 --> 00:02:04.781
"you meditate, isn't that an eastern religion thing or whatever?"
00:02:04.847 --> 00:02:05.982

00:04:18.348 --> 00:04:19.482
We've been in our condo three years now. god has helped, you know.
00:04:19.549 --> 00:04:21.284
Three years now. god has helped, you know. he has supported us.
00:04:21.351 --> 00:04:22.585
God has helped, you know. he has supported us. he has brought things together
00:04:22.652 --> 00:04:25.955
He has supported us. he has brought things together that i never thought would be--
00:04:26.022 --> 00:04:28.291
He has brought things together that i never thought would be-- sometimes, i wake up
00:04:28.358 --> 00:04:29.892
That i never thought would be-- sometimes, i wake up in the morning and i'm like,
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:31.060
Sometimes, i wake up in the morning and i'm like, "god, we're still here,
00:04:31.127 --> 00:04:32.462
In the morning and i'm like, "god, we're still here, thank you.
00:04:32.528 --> 00:04:33.229
"god, we're still here, thank you. god, i appreciate it.
00:04:33.296 --> 00:04:34.864
Thank you. god, i appreciate it. i don't even know how
00:04:34.931 --> 00:04:36.165
God, i appreciate it. i don't even know how this all is happening,
00:04:36.232 --> 00:04:37.567
I don't even know how this all is happening, that you're allowing
00:04:37.633 --> 00:04:38.434
This all is happening, that you're allowing me to manage this."
00:04:38.501 --> 00:04:39.502
That you're allowing me to manage this." so, when i think
00:04:39.569 --> 00:04:40.336
Me to manage this." so, when i think of the goodness of god,
00:04:40.403 --> 00:04:41.804
So, when i think of the goodness of god, that will override some
00:04:41.871 --> 00:04:43.873
Of the goodness of god, that will override some of those things that the enemy--
00:04:43.940 --> 00:04:45.208
That will override some of those things that the enemy-- >> joyce: and it is so important
00:04:45.274 --> 00:04:46.476
Of those things that the enemy-- >> joyce: and it is so important to be thankful and to voice
00:04:46.542 --> 00:04:47.377
>> joyce: and it is so important to be thankful and to voice that gratitude.
00:04:47.443 --> 00:04:48.544
To be thankful and to voice that gratitude. i mean, for anybody like
00:04:48.611 --> 00:04:53.149
That gratitude. i mean, for anybody like us to find anything to complain
00:04:53.216 --> 00:04:56.252
I mean, for anybody like us to find anything to complain about is just ridiculous.
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.354
Us to find anything to complain about is just ridiculous. and yet we do.
00:04:58.421 --> 00:04:59.222
>> erin: my kids will--
00:04:59.722 --> 00:05:01.424
>> erin: my kids will-- they've had a fine day,
00:05:01.491 --> 00:05:02.191
>> erin: my kids will-- they've had a fine day, everything is fine.
00:05:02.258 --> 00:05:02.925
They've had a fine day, everything is fine. and then something happens
00:05:02.992 --> 00:05:04.093
Everything is fine. and then something happens that is not great in their eyes,
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.429
And then something happens that is not great in their eyes, suddenly, "this has been
00:05:06.496 --> 00:05:08.364
That is not great in their eyes, suddenly, "this has been a terrible day.
00:05:08.431 --> 00:05:10.066
Suddenly, "this has been a terrible day. everything is awful.
00:05:10.133 --> 00:05:11.000
A terrible day. everything is awful. today's been terrible."
00:05:11.067 --> 00:05:12.435
Everything is awful. today's been terrible." and so, practicing that with
00:05:12.502 --> 00:05:13.770
Today's been terrible." and so, practicing that with them reminds me of myself,
00:05:13.836 --> 00:05:15.738
And so, practicing that with them reminds me of myself, "how often do i look
00:05:15.805 --> 00:05:16.973
Them reminds me of myself, "how often do i look at my life that way?
00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:18.241
"how often do i look at my life that way? and am i thinking about all
00:05:18.307 --> 00:05:19.742
At my life that way? and am i thinking about all the things that are awful?"
00:05:19.809 --> 00:05:21.010
And am i thinking about all the things that are awful?" when really, "yes, that was
00:05:21.077 --> 00:05:22.011
The things that are awful?" when really, "yes, that was inconvenient to our life,
00:05:22.078 --> 00:05:23.246
When really, "yes, that was inconvenient to our life, but the whole day
00:05:23.312 --> 00:05:24.280
Inconvenient to our life, but the whole day is not ruined."
00:05:24.347 --> 00:05:24.947
But the whole day is not ruined." >> joyce: that's a good word,
00:05:25.014 --> 00:05:26.082
Is not ruined." >> joyce: that's a good word, inconvenient.
00:05:26.149 --> 00:05:26.916
>> joyce: that's a good word, inconvenient. we don't like
00:05:26.983 --> 00:05:27.583
Inconvenient. we don't like to be inconvenienced.
00:05:27.650 --> 00:05:29.085
We don't like to be inconvenienced. >> erin: we don't.
00:05:29.152 --> 00:05:29.685
To be inconvenienced. >> erin: we don't. >> ginger: and you know,
00:05:29.752 --> 00:05:30.453
>> erin: we don't. >> ginger: and you know, sometimes, even when
00:05:30.520 --> 00:05:31.354
>> ginger: and you know, sometimes, even when things seriously are hard...
00:05:31.421 --> 00:05:33.222
Sometimes, even when things seriously are hard... >> erin: yeah, absolutely.
00:05:33.289 --> 00:05:33.956
Things seriously are hard... >> erin: yeah, absolutely. >> ginger: when we go through
00:05:34.023 --> 00:05:35.358
>> erin: yeah, absolutely. >> ginger: when we go through really hard times,
00:05:35.425 --> 00:05:37.794
When, for me,
00:05:37.860 --> 00:05:39.228
When, for me, i think of times like
00:05:39.295 --> 00:05:40.530
When, for me, i think of times like when i've been really sick,
00:05:40.596 --> 00:05:42.932
I think of times like when i've been really sick, or when i've lost someone
00:05:42.999 --> 00:05:44.567
When i've been really sick, or when i've lost someone and you're grieving.
00:05:44.634 --> 00:05:46.469
Or when i've lost someone and you're grieving. i mean, those are hard things.
00:05:46.536 --> 00:05:50.273
And you're grieving. i mean, those are hard things. even changing your mindset
00:05:50.339 --> 00:05:52.508
I mean, those are hard things. even changing your mindset in the hardest things...
00:05:52.575 --> 00:05:53.776
Even changing your mindset in the hardest things... >> joyce: yeah.
00:05:53.843 --> 00:05:54.444
In the hardest things... >> joyce: yeah. >> ginger: is possible
00:05:54.510 --> 00:05:55.111
>> joyce: yeah. >> ginger: is possible because of who god is.
00:05:55.178 --> 00:05:56.779
>> ginger: is possible because of who god is. sometimes we think,
00:05:56.846 --> 00:05:58.314
Because of who god is. sometimes we think, "how can i possibly think
00:05:58.381 --> 00:05:59.949
Sometimes we think, "how can i possibly think any differently about this?
00:06:00.016 --> 00:06:01.284
"how can i possibly think any differently about this? it's so terrible."
00:06:01.350 --> 00:06:03.319
Any differently about this? it's so terrible." but there's always something
00:06:03.386 --> 00:06:05.354
It's so terrible." but there's always something that god gives us,
00:06:05.421 --> 00:06:06.322
But there's always something that god gives us, even just god saying,
00:06:06.389 --> 00:06:07.523
That god gives us, even just god saying, "i'm still here.
00:06:07.590 --> 00:06:09.358
Even just god saying, "i'm still here. i love you.
00:06:09.425 --> 00:06:09.826
"i'm still here. i love you. i will never leave you.
00:06:09.892 --> 00:06:11.761
I love you. i will never leave you. i know you're hurting."
00:06:11.828 --> 00:06:13.329
I will never leave you. i know you're hurting." that changes your
00:06:13.396 --> 00:06:14.530
I know you're hurting." that changes your outlook so much.
00:06:14.597 --> 00:06:15.398
That changes your outlook so much. and talk about that
00:06:15.465 --> 00:06:16.032
Outlook so much. and talk about that negative attitude for kids,
00:06:16.098 --> 00:06:17.900
And talk about that negative attitude for kids, for all of us,
00:06:17.967 --> 00:06:18.868
Negative attitude for kids, for all of us, it just comes so naturally.
00:06:18.935 --> 00:06:20.436
For all of us, it just comes so naturally. you go home
00:06:20.503 --> 00:06:21.571
It just comes so naturally. you go home and your husband says,
00:06:21.637 --> 00:06:22.305
You go home and your husband says, "how was your day?
00:06:22.371 --> 00:06:23.105
And your husband says, "how was your day? and all you can think
00:06:23.172 --> 00:06:23.973
"how was your day? and all you can think of is whatever just
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:25.641
And all you can think of is whatever just happened last."
00:06:25.708 --> 00:06:26.542
Of is whatever just happened last." and you're like, ah, you know.
00:06:26.609 --> 00:06:28.644
Happened last." and you're like, ah, you know. there's so much more.
00:06:28.711 --> 00:06:30.580
And you're like, ah, you know. there's so much more. >> joyce: we always wanna
00:06:30.646 --> 00:06:31.547
There's so much more. >> joyce: we always wanna tell the bad stuff.
00:06:31.614 --> 00:06:32.815
>> joyce: we always wanna tell the bad stuff. but if there's a lot of good
00:06:32.882 --> 00:06:35.051
Tell the bad stuff. but if there's a lot of good things that happened today
00:06:35.117 --> 00:06:36.352
But if there's a lot of good things that happened today too that i could tell those,
00:06:36.419 --> 00:06:38.454
Things that happened today too that i could tell those, but no, we pick on the one
00:06:38.521 --> 00:06:39.489
Too that i could tell those, but no, we pick on the one or two things.
00:06:39.555 --> 00:06:40.289
But no, we pick on the one or two things. >> ginger: yes, we do.
00:06:40.356 --> 00:06:42.492
Or two things. >> ginger: yes, we do. we had this social media message
00:06:42.558 --> 00:06:45.294
>> ginger: yes, we do. we had this social media message talk about overcoming
00:06:45.361 --> 00:06:46.429
We had this social media message talk about overcoming those negative mindsets.
00:06:46.496 --> 00:06:48.464
Talk about overcoming those negative mindsets. it says, "i'm learning
00:06:48.531 --> 00:06:50.299
Those negative mindsets. it says, "i'm learning the seriousness of complaining.
00:06:50.366 --> 00:06:52.468
It says, "i'm learning the seriousness of complaining. i lost good friends in the past
00:06:52.535 --> 00:06:54.537
The seriousness of complaining. i lost good friends in the past because they got sick of it."
00:06:54.604 --> 00:06:57.507
I lost good friends in the past because they got sick of it." it's like, that says a lot.
00:06:57.573 --> 00:06:59.342
Because they got sick of it." it's like, that says a lot. i don't want for my bad attitude
00:06:59.408 --> 00:07:03.779
It's like, that says a lot. i don't want for my bad attitude to ever rub off on anybody else.
00:07:03.846 --> 00:07:05.648
I don't want for my bad attitude to ever rub off on anybody else. i want them to be with me.
00:07:05.715 --> 00:07:06.949
To ever rub off on anybody else. i want them to be with me. i want my joy in christ jesus
00:07:07.016 --> 00:07:08.150
I want them to be with me. i want my joy in christ jesus to overflow into their lives.
00:07:08.217 --> 00:07:11.521
I want my joy in christ jesus to overflow into their lives. and when we start seeing
00:07:11.587 --> 00:07:13.956
To overflow into their lives. and when we start seeing that's not what's happening,
00:07:14.023 --> 00:07:16.359
And when we start seeing that's not what's happening, then it's an eye-opener.
00:07:16.425 --> 00:07:18.594
That's not what's happening, then it's an eye-opener. i need to change my mindset.
00:07:18.661 --> 00:07:20.830
Then it's an eye-opener. i need to change my mindset. >> erin: when you shared
00:07:20.897 --> 00:07:21.731
I need to change my mindset. >> erin: when you shared in chapel last week about
00:07:21.797 --> 00:07:23.599
>> erin: when you shared in chapel last week about gratitude, as part of it,
00:07:23.666 --> 00:07:25.368
In chapel last week about gratitude, as part of it, and so, talking
00:07:25.434 --> 00:07:26.035
Gratitude, as part of it, and so, talking about having that,
00:07:26.102 --> 00:07:27.136
And so, talking about having that, i think you call it like
00:07:27.203 --> 00:07:28.170
About having that, i think you call it like a core of gratitude,
00:07:28.237 --> 00:07:29.105
I think you call it like a core of gratitude, where it's just like,
00:07:29.171 --> 00:07:29.772
A core of gratitude, where it's just like, it's in you.
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:30.640
Where it's just like, it's in you. it really made me think about
00:07:30.706 --> 00:07:32.708
It's in you. it really made me think about myself because i don't know that
00:07:32.775 --> 00:07:34.443
It really made me think about myself because i don't know that i could say that i have that.
00:07:34.510 --> 00:07:35.478
Myself because i don't know that i could say that i have that. and it's so much easier
00:07:35.545 --> 00:07:36.846
I could say that i have that. and it's so much easier for me to, like we're saying,
00:07:36.913 --> 00:07:38.080
And it's so much easier for me to, like we're saying, go to the negative things.
00:07:38.147 --> 00:07:39.782
For me to, like we're saying, go to the negative things. that i need to work really
00:07:39.849 --> 00:07:41.984
Go to the negative things. that i need to work really hard to flip that perspective
00:07:42.051 --> 00:07:43.753
That i need to work really hard to flip that perspective because it is a mindset shift
00:07:43.819 --> 00:07:45.555
Hard to flip that perspective because it is a mindset shift for me to take a situation
00:07:45.621 --> 00:07:46.923
Because it is a mindset shift for me to take a situation and literally turn it around
00:07:46.989 --> 00:07:48.858
For me to take a situation and literally turn it around in my head to see
00:07:48.925 --> 00:07:49.959
And literally turn it around in my head to see the gratitude perspective.
00:07:50.026 --> 00:07:52.595
In my head to see the gratitude perspective. i think it's harder or feels
00:07:52.662 --> 00:07:55.531
The gratitude perspective. i think it's harder or feels difficult sometimes to do,
00:07:55.598 --> 00:07:56.699
I think it's harder or feels difficult sometimes to do, but i wanna live my life
00:07:56.766 --> 00:07:58.167
Difficult sometimes to do, but i wanna live my life where that is just
00:07:58.234 --> 00:07:58.901
But i wanna live my life where that is just the core of who i am.
00:07:58.968 --> 00:08:00.570
Where that is just the core of who i am. >> ginger: yeah.
00:08:00.636 --> 00:08:01.203
The core of who i am. >> ginger: yeah. so, it's not surfacey about
00:08:01.270 --> 00:08:03.272
>> ginger: yeah. so, it's not surfacey about our circumstances because
00:08:03.339 --> 00:08:04.640
So, it's not surfacey about our circumstances because many of our circumstances
00:08:04.707 --> 00:08:05.942
Our circumstances because many of our circumstances are very hard.
00:08:06.008 --> 00:08:07.743
Many of our circumstances are very hard. but there's the core deep inside
00:08:07.810 --> 00:08:10.346
Are very hard. but there's the core deep inside of us that is our strength
00:08:10.413 --> 00:08:12.281
But there's the core deep inside of us that is our strength of who christ is to us.
00:08:12.348 --> 00:08:14.417
Of us that is our strength of who christ is to us. and if that gratitude pours
00:08:14.483 --> 00:08:15.985
Of who christ is to us. and if that gratitude pours out of that, and we have
00:08:16.052 --> 00:08:18.854
And if that gratitude pours out of that, and we have to pull ourselves back to it,
00:08:18.921 --> 00:08:20.256
Out of that, and we have to pull ourselves back to it, is exactly what you're
00:08:20.323 --> 00:08:20.856
To pull ourselves back to it, is exactly what you're talking about, joyce,
00:08:20.923 --> 00:08:22.124
Is exactly what you're talking about, joyce, changing what we're thinking
00:08:22.191 --> 00:08:23.893
Talking about, joyce, changing what we're thinking to pull ourself back to that.
00:08:23.960 --> 00:08:26.562
>> joyce: well, and when you're
00:08:27.730 --> 00:08:28.664
>> joyce: well, and when you're going through a difficult time,
00:08:28.731 --> 00:08:32.068
>> joyce: well, and when you're going through a difficult time, instead of just thinking
00:08:32.134 --> 00:08:33.035
Going through a difficult time, instead of just thinking about "how hard this is"
00:08:33.102 --> 00:08:34.870
Instead of just thinking about "how hard this is" and "how long is this
00:08:34.937 --> 00:08:35.871
About "how hard this is" and "how long is this gonna last" and "will this
00:08:35.938 --> 00:08:37.239
And "how long is this gonna last" and "will this ever end," think about other
00:08:37.306 --> 00:08:39.442
Gonna last" and "will this ever end," think about other times when you have been
00:08:39.508 --> 00:08:42.078
Ever end," think about other times when you have been in just as bad of a situation
00:08:42.144 --> 00:08:44.313
Times when you have been in just as bad of a situation or worse and you spent days

In just as bad of a situation or worse and you spent days on end worrying about it,

Don't want to have a bad attitude. and i think it's kind of fun

A bad attitude. and i think it's kind of fun when you--

And i think it's kind of fun when you-- when something happens
00:09:17.813 --> 00:09:18.881
When you-- when something happens that's negative and you just,
00:09:18.948 --> 00:09:22.418
When something happens that's negative and you just, from the beginning,
00:09:22.485 --> 00:09:23.252
That's negative and you just, from the beginning, say, "i'm gonna keep

All things work out for good. this is gonna end well." and i know that just
00:09:29.425 --> 00:09:30.259
This is gonna end well." and i know that just infuriates the devil.
00:09:30.326 --> 00:09:31.460

>> kim: i have an aunt that tells me, "have a good day on purpose,"
00:09:34.730 --> 00:09:36.766
That tells me, "have a good day on purpose," because we have
00:09:36.832 --> 00:09:37.466
"have a good day on purpose," because we have to do it on purpose.
00:09:37.533 --> 00:09:38.701
Because we have to do it on purpose. it takes a lot of intentionality
00:09:38.768 --> 00:09:40.670
To do it on purpose. it takes a lot of intentionality to just really focus
00:09:40.736 --> 00:09:43.172
It takes a lot of intentionality to just really focus in on that god is good.
00:09:43.239 --> 00:09:46.175
To just really focus in on that god is good. and he does good.
00:09:46.242 --> 00:09:48.744
In on that god is good. and he does good. and just having that,
00:09:48.811 --> 00:09:50.012
And he does good. and just having that, i think for me,
00:09:50.079 --> 00:09:51.347
And just having that, i think for me, it's just been about storing
00:09:51.414 --> 00:09:54.150
I think for me, it's just been about storing the word of god in me.
00:09:54.216 --> 00:09:55.418
It's just been about storing the word of god in me. "i have hidden your
00:09:55.484 --> 00:09:56.152
The word of god in me. "i have hidden your word in my heart,"
00:09:56.218 --> 00:09:57.353
"i have hidden your word in my heart," constantly over and over.
00:09:57.420 --> 00:09:58.654
Word in my heart," constantly over and over. so when those days

Constantly over and over. so when those days do come and when those

So when those days do come and when those hard moments come,
00:10:01.757 --> 00:10:02.625
Do come and when those hard moments come, when the grief comes,
00:10:02.692 --> 00:10:04.060
Hard moments come, when the grief comes, all of that, because i'm still
00:10:04.126 --> 00:10:05.594
When the grief comes, all of that, because i'm still grieving certain things,
00:10:05.661 --> 00:10:06.862
All of that, because i'm still grieving certain things, but in those moments,
00:10:06.929 --> 00:10:07.863
Grieving certain things, but in those moments, i do say--and i do remember,
00:10:07.930 --> 00:10:09.899
But in those moments, i do say--and i do remember, "god, you've been good.

And your word says

So, we can't be wimpy about this. we've got to jump in and do it.

About this. we've got to jump in and do it. >> joyce: jesus said,

>> joyce: jesus said, "in the world, you will have tribulation."

You will have tribulation." it's a promise. just like, "i'll deliver you

About the scripture that says, "don't worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will

Looking forward to." but let me read this scripture because this
00:10:57.246 --> 00:10:58.481

Problem with self-pity. and--man, when god started dealing with me about it,

And--man, when god started dealing with me about it, to be honest, you get
00:12:03.712 --> 00:12:04.547
Dealing with me about it, to be honest, you get addicted to things like that.

He's gonna help you because you extend your faith and believe his word.

That's not helping change any of it, you know. >> ginger: i love that "renewal"
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:18.354
Any of it, you know. >> ginger: i love that "renewal" word, to renew our minds.
00:13:18.420 --> 00:13:21.690
>> ginger: i love that "renewal" word, to renew our minds. and the fact that it's possible,
00:13:21.757 --> 00:13:23.325
Word, to renew our minds. and the fact that it's possible, i mean, god's word says
00:13:23.392 --> 00:13:24.693
And the fact that it's possible, i mean, god's word says that's what we have to do.
00:13:24.760 --> 00:13:25.761
I mean, god's word says that's what we have to do. he's not gonna ask
00:13:25.828 --> 00:13:26.829
That's what we have to do. he's not gonna ask us to do anything
00:13:26.896 --> 00:13:27.830
He's not gonna ask us to do anything that we can't do.
00:13:27.897 --> 00:13:28.964
Us to do anything that we can't do. and i think of renewal,
00:13:29.031 --> 00:13:30.866
That we can't do. and i think of renewal, as like shining it up and making
00:13:30.933 --> 00:13:33.202
And i think of renewal, as like shining it up and making it beautiful again,
00:13:33.269 --> 00:13:34.370
As like shining it up and making it beautiful again, like a full mind makeover,
00:13:34.436 --> 00:13:36.839
It beautiful again, like a full mind makeover, which is really exciting.
00:13:36.906 --> 00:13:38.374
Like a full mind makeover, which is really exciting. and i know i can't do it
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:39.575
Which is really exciting. and i know i can't do it on my own, but that's what
00:13:39.642 --> 00:13:40.843
And i know i can't do it on my own, but that's what the power of the bible is.
00:13:40.910 --> 00:13:42.711
On my own, but that's what the power of the bible is. that's exactly what
00:13:42.778 --> 00:13:44.480
The power of the bible is. that's exactly what we're talking about.
00:13:44.546 --> 00:13:45.648
That's exactly what we're talking about. remembering and focusing on,
00:13:45.714 --> 00:13:47.249
We're talking about. remembering and focusing on, and meditating on,
00:13:47.316 --> 00:13:48.050
Remembering and focusing on, and meditating on, and turning that thought
00:13:48.117 --> 00:13:48.984
And meditating on, and turning that thought over and over instead
00:13:49.051 --> 00:13:50.319
And turning that thought over and over instead of the other thoughts.
00:13:50.386 --> 00:13:51.186
Over and over instead of the other thoughts. so, when you talk about
00:13:51.253 --> 00:13:52.121
Of the other thoughts. so, when you talk about renewing your mind,
00:13:52.187 --> 00:13:53.055
So, when you talk about renewing your mind, let's talk about some
00:13:53.122 --> 00:13:54.290
Renewing your mind, let's talk about some of those different areas
00:13:54.356 --> 00:13:55.891
Let's talk about some of those different areas and how have you done it.
00:13:55.958 --> 00:13:57.393
>> erin: yeah, i have to be
00:13:58.027 --> 00:13:59.061
>> erin: yeah, i have to be very intentional in those--
00:13:59.128 --> 00:14:01.664
>> erin: yeah, i have to be very intentional in those-- i think right away, for example,
00:14:01.730 --> 00:14:03.299
Very intentional in those-- i think right away, for example, after work and after school,
00:14:03.365 --> 00:14:05.301
I think right away, for example, after work and after school, it is absolute chaos.
00:14:05.367 --> 00:14:06.602
After work and after school, it is absolute chaos. and there's all these things you
00:14:06.669 --> 00:14:07.937
It is absolute chaos. and there's all these things you have to do in like three hours.
00:14:08.003 --> 00:14:09.204
And there's all these things you have to do in like three hours. and so, i can find myself,
00:14:09.271 --> 00:14:11.707
Have to do in like three hours. and so, i can find myself, in my mind, like i can feel
00:14:11.774 --> 00:14:12.808
And so, i can find myself, in my mind, like i can feel my mind starting to spin,
00:14:12.875 --> 00:14:13.976
In my mind, like i can feel my mind starting to spin, feeling overwhelmed
00:14:14.043 --> 00:14:14.877
My mind starting to spin, feeling overwhelmed by all we need to do,
00:14:14.944 --> 00:14:15.744
Feeling overwhelmed by all we need to do, feeling annoyed that i've asked
00:14:15.811 --> 00:14:17.346
By all we need to do, feeling annoyed that i've asked five times to come wash your
00:14:17.413 --> 00:14:18.447
Feeling annoyed that i've asked five times to come wash your hands and sit down for dinner,
00:14:18.514 --> 00:14:19.415
Five times to come wash your hands and sit down for dinner, feeling annoyed that nobody's
00:14:19.481 --> 00:14:21.116
Hands and sit down for dinner, feeling annoyed that nobody's eating the meal i prepared.
00:14:21.183 --> 00:14:22.117
Feeling annoyed that nobody's eating the meal i prepared. so, now, i'm getting angry.
00:14:22.184 --> 00:14:23.052
Eating the meal i prepared. so, now, i'm getting angry. and so, i can feel my mind
00:14:23.118 --> 00:14:24.420
So, now, i'm getting angry. and so, i can feel my mind getting the opposite of renewed.
00:14:24.486 --> 00:14:28.223
And so, i can feel my mind getting the opposite of renewed. it's not shiny.
00:14:28.290 --> 00:14:29.558
Getting the opposite of renewed. it's not shiny. it's very dirty and dark.
00:14:29.625 --> 00:14:31.260
It's not shiny. it's very dirty and dark. >> [ginger chuckling]
00:14:31.327 --> 00:14:32.394
It's very dirty and dark. >> [ginger chuckling] >> erin: and so, i have to be
00:14:32.461 --> 00:14:33.729
Really conscious of that
00:14:33.796 --> 00:14:35.898
Really conscious of that and take a breath and remind
00:14:35.965 --> 00:14:38.467
Really conscious of that and take a breath and remind myself "these kids are a gift.
00:14:38.534 --> 00:14:40.202
And take a breath and remind myself "these kids are a gift. you begged the lord for them.
00:14:40.269 --> 00:14:41.470
Myself "these kids are a gift. you begged the lord for them. you asked for years for them
00:14:41.537 --> 00:14:44.640
You begged the lord for them. you asked for years for them to be in this home.
00:14:44.707 --> 00:14:46.075
You asked for years for them to be in this home. so be grateful, have patience.
00:14:46.141 --> 00:14:49.011
To be in this home. so be grateful, have patience. what does the word
00:14:49.078 --> 00:14:50.145
So be grateful, have patience. what does the word say about patience?"
00:14:50.212 --> 00:14:52.948
What does the word say about patience?" and it's just, i just have
00:14:53.015 --> 00:14:53.882
Say about patience?" and it's just, i just have to slow down and let god take
00:14:53.949 --> 00:14:56.085
And it's just, i just have to slow down and let god take my thoughts in those moments,
00:14:56.151 --> 00:14:57.586
To slow down and let god take my thoughts in those moments, because it sounds silly.
00:14:57.653 --> 00:14:58.887
My thoughts in those moments, because it sounds silly. like, after school shouldn't
00:14:58.954 --> 00:15:00.022
Because it sounds silly. like, after school shouldn't be that--
00:15:00.089 --> 00:15:00.656
Like, after school shouldn't be that-- it's not traumatic,
00:15:00.723 --> 00:15:01.590
Be that-- it's not traumatic, but it's really overwhelming
00:15:01.657 --> 00:15:03.192
It's not traumatic, but it's really overwhelming to me, sometimes.
00:15:03.258 --> 00:15:04.793
But it's really overwhelming to me, sometimes. so, i think that's a really
00:15:04.860 --> 00:15:06.295
To me, sometimes. so, i think that's a really big part of it.
00:15:06.362 --> 00:15:07.830
So, i think that's a really big part of it. >> ginger: yeah, that's great.
00:15:07.896 --> 00:15:09.365
Big part of it. >> ginger: yeah, that's great. >> joyce: maybe just--

And you know, it may not happen exactly that way every day,

00:16:18.901 --> 00:16:19.568
It's for all of us. we're all aging. so, yes, we don't
00:16:19.635 --> 00:16:21.370
We're all aging. so, yes, we don't have much choice.
00:16:21.437 --> 00:16:22.004
So, yes, we don't have much choice. >> joyce: well, yeah.

In order for me to continue to do what i'm doing, i'm 81 and a half,
00:16:26.608 --> 00:16:29.812
To do what i'm doing, i'm 81 and a half, and still got a lot of people
00:16:29.878 --> 00:16:30.846
I'm 81 and a half, and still got a lot of people depending on me.
00:16:30.913 --> 00:16:32.114
And still got a lot of people depending on me. and but you know--
00:16:32.181 --> 00:16:35.117
Depending on me. and but you know-- >> ginger: it's some pressure.
00:16:35.184 --> 00:16:36.051
And but you know-- >> ginger: it's some pressure. >> joyce: i get stiff.
00:16:36.118 --> 00:16:37.086
>> ginger: it's some pressure. >> joyce: i get stiff. i get--
00:16:37.152 --> 00:16:37.719
>> joyce: i get stiff. i get-- i get tired.
00:16:37.786 --> 00:16:38.987
I get-- i get tired. i've got--
00:16:39.054 --> 00:16:40.022
I get tired. i've got-- i've still got a lot to do.
00:16:40.089 --> 00:16:42.558
I've got-- i've still got a lot to do. i mean, i look--
00:16:42.624 --> 00:16:43.625
I've still got a lot to do. i mean, i look-- i looked at my calendar
00:16:43.692 --> 00:16:45.160
I mean, i look-- i looked at my calendar for the month.
00:16:45.227 --> 00:16:45.928
I looked at my calendar for the month. i'm like, "are you crazy?"
00:16:45.994 --> 00:16:48.497
For the month. i'm like, "are you crazy?" but see, if you take it one
00:16:48.564 --> 00:16:50.099
I'm like, "are you crazy?" but see, if you take it one thing at a time and you have
00:16:50.165 --> 00:16:53.936
But see, if you take it one thing at a time and you have to learn about yourself
00:16:54.002 --> 00:16:55.704
Thing at a time and you have to learn about yourself and you have to learn
00:16:55.771 --> 00:16:56.939
To learn about yourself and you have to learn what you need in order
00:16:57.005 --> 00:16:59.675
And you have to learn what you need in order to do what you're doing,
00:16:59.741 --> 00:17:00.809
What you need in order to do what you're doing, and you have to be willing
00:17:00.876 --> 00:17:01.777
To do what you're doing, and you have to be willing to give it to yourself.
00:17:01.844 --> 00:17:03.579
And you have to be willing to give it to yourself. so, like, i've learned
00:17:03.645 --> 00:17:06.081
To give it to yourself. so, like, i've learned that nothing restores
00:17:06.148 --> 00:17:08.217
So, like, i've learned that nothing restores me better than quiet.
00:17:08.283 --> 00:17:10.619
That nothing restores me better than quiet. and so, i arrange my life
00:17:10.686 --> 00:17:13.088
Me better than quiet. and so, i arrange my life so i have three, four hours
00:17:13.155 --> 00:17:17.526
And so, i arrange my life so i have three, four hours of quiet every night.
00:17:17.593 --> 00:17:20.295
So i have three, four hours of quiet every night. i'll go in the bedroom and maybe
00:17:20.362 --> 00:17:24.199
Of quiet every night. i'll go in the bedroom and maybe watch something on tv.
00:17:24.266 --> 00:17:25.501
I'll go in the bedroom and maybe watch something on tv. just--it's just quiet.
00:17:25.567 --> 00:17:28.337
Watch something on tv. just--it's just quiet. there's nobody wanting me
00:17:28.403 --> 00:17:29.505
Just--it's just quiet. there's nobody wanting me to do something or, you know.
00:17:29.571 --> 00:17:32.241
There's nobody wanting me to do something or, you know. sometimes, i think, somebody
00:17:32.307 --> 00:17:35.110
To do something or, you know. sometimes, i think, somebody like me, and i mean,
00:17:35.177 --> 00:17:35.878
Sometimes, i think, somebody like me, and i mean, even you could feel this way,
00:17:35.944 --> 00:17:37.212
Like me, and i mean, even you could feel this way, it's like, everybody that
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:39.114
Even you could feel this way, it's like, everybody that comes near me wants
00:17:39.181 --> 00:17:40.349
It's like, everybody that comes near me wants me to do something.
00:17:40.415 --> 00:17:41.316
Comes near me wants me to do something. [chuckling]
00:17:41.383 --> 00:17:43.185
Me to do something. [chuckling] and you just have to keep
00:17:43.252 --> 00:17:47.122
[chuckling] and you just have to keep that positive attitude.
00:17:47.189 --> 00:17:48.190
And you just have to keep that positive attitude. and i have to--
00:17:48.257 --> 00:17:49.424
That positive attitude. and i have to-- i have to be very careful about,
00:17:49.491 --> 00:17:51.160
And i have to-- i have to be very careful about, "i'm too old,
00:17:51.226 --> 00:17:53.195
I have to be very careful about, "i'm too old, too old to do that.
00:17:53.262 --> 00:17:54.062
"i'm too old, too old to do that. i can't do that.
00:17:54.129 --> 00:17:55.364
Too old to do that. i can't do that. i'm too old."
00:17:55.430 --> 00:17:56.598
I can't do that. i'm too old." i say, "i can do this.
00:17:56.665 --> 00:17:58.600
I'm too old." i say, "i can do this. i can do anything that god
00:17:58.667 --> 00:17:59.701
I say, "i can do this. i can do anything that god has called me to do.
00:17:59.768 --> 00:18:00.569
I can do anything that god has called me to do. and i can do it for as long
00:18:00.636 --> 00:18:02.104
Has called me to do. and i can do it for as long as he wants me to do it."
00:18:02.171 --> 00:18:03.639
And see, i know enough
00:18:04.273 --> 00:18:05.240
And see, i know enough to know that if god doesn't
00:18:05.307 --> 00:18:07.376
And see, i know enough to know that if god doesn't want me to do this anymore,
00:18:07.442 --> 00:18:08.477
To know that if god doesn't want me to do this anymore, he'll take the anointing.
00:18:08.544 --> 00:18:11.079
Want me to do this anymore, he'll take the anointing. not off my life, as a person,
00:18:11.146 --> 00:18:12.614
He'll take the anointing. not off my life, as a person, but i know what it's like
00:18:12.681 --> 00:18:14.883
Not off my life, as a person, but i know what it's like to do something with grace.
00:18:14.950 --> 00:18:16.185
But i know what it's like to do something with grace. and i know what it's like
00:18:16.251 --> 00:18:17.920
To do something with grace. and i know what it's like to try to do it without grace.
00:18:17.986 --> 00:18:19.922
And i know what it's like to try to do it without grace. and so, even as we've come
00:18:19.988 --> 00:18:21.390
To try to do it without grace. and so, even as we've come to this part of my life,
00:18:21.456 --> 00:18:23.825
And so, even as we've come to this part of my life, i've had to give
00:18:23.892 --> 00:18:24.493
To this part of my life, i've had to give up certain things.
00:18:24.560 --> 00:18:25.260
I've had to give up certain things. like, i had to give up going
00:18:25.327 --> 00:18:26.562
Up certain things. like, i had to give up going out of the country.
00:18:26.628 --> 00:18:28.297
Like, i had to give up going out of the country. and now, i get to watch
00:18:28.363 --> 00:18:30.299
Out of the country. and now, i get to watch you go out of the country
00:18:30.365 --> 00:18:31.366
And now, i get to watch you go out of the country and do all those things
00:18:31.433 --> 00:18:32.334
You go out of the country and do all those things that i used to love to do.
00:18:32.401 --> 00:18:33.535
And--but i can't do it.
00:18:33.602 --> 00:18:35.771
And--but i can't do it. my body just doesn't
00:18:35.837 --> 00:18:37.105
And--but i can't do it. my body just doesn't handle the jet lag,
00:18:37.172 --> 00:18:38.207
My body just doesn't handle the jet lag, and the 25-hour flights,
00:18:38.273 --> 00:18:40.676
Handle the jet lag, and the 25-hour flights, and sometimes 40-hour flights.
00:18:40.742 --> 00:18:44.780
And the 25-hour flights, and sometimes 40-hour flights. and so, you have to be willing
00:18:44.846 --> 00:18:46.281
And sometimes 40-hour flights. and so, you have to be willing to let go of things as you
00:18:46.348 --> 00:18:48.750
And so, you have to be willing to let go of things as you age that will enable you
00:18:48.817 --> 00:18:51.820
To let go of things as you age that will enable you to keep doing the part.
00:18:51.887 --> 00:18:54.156
Age that will enable you to keep doing the part. i mean, you can go--
00:18:54.223 --> 00:18:58.193
To keep doing the part. i mean, you can go-- you can go out
00:18:58.260 --> 00:18:58.927
I mean, you can go-- you can go out of the country for me
00:18:58.994 --> 00:18:59.828
You can go out of the country for me and do what i used to do,
00:18:59.895 --> 00:19:01.697
Of the country for me and do what i used to do, but i have to do the teaching,
00:19:01.763 --> 00:19:03.532
And do what i used to do, but i have to do the teaching, which means i have
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:04.399
But i have to do the teaching, which means i have to do the studying.
00:19:04.466 --> 00:19:05.934
Which means i have to do the studying. i have to write my books.
00:19:06.001 --> 00:19:08.036
To do the studying. i have to write my books. and when i say "have to,"
00:19:08.103 --> 00:19:08.904
I have to write my books. and when i say "have to," i don't mean i don't want to.
00:19:08.971 --> 00:19:09.938
And when i say "have to," i don't mean i don't want to. i love it.
00:19:10.005 --> 00:19:11.173
I don't mean i don't want to. i love it. i love it.
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:11.940
I love it. i love it. but i do have to make sure
00:19:12.007 --> 00:19:14.176
I love it. but i do have to make sure that i get what i need
00:19:14.243 --> 00:19:17.479
But i do have to make sure that i get what i need to keep me restored.
00:19:17.546 --> 00:19:19.648
That i get what i need to keep me restored. and i think that's what
00:19:19.715 --> 00:19:20.382
To keep me restored. and i think that's what a lot of people don't do.
00:19:20.449 --> 00:19:21.717
And i think that's what a lot of people don't do. they don't let themselves
00:19:21.783 --> 00:19:23.118
A lot of people don't do. they don't let themselves have what they need.
00:19:23.185 --> 00:19:24.553
They don't let themselves have what they need. >> ginger: i love these
00:19:24.620 --> 00:19:25.587
Have what they need. >> ginger: i love these specific examples because
00:19:25.654 --> 00:19:26.655
>> ginger: i love these specific examples because there's a different one for
00:19:26.722 --> 00:19:28.390
Specific examples because there's a different one for every person who's listening.
00:19:28.457 --> 00:19:29.925
There's a different one for every person who's listening. you know, it's--
00:19:29.992 --> 00:19:30.559
Every person who's listening. you know, it's-- and it changes for us
00:19:30.626 --> 00:19:32.995
You know, it's-- and it changes for us in different seasons, as well,
00:19:33.061 --> 00:19:34.730
And it changes for us in different seasons, as well, but it's, "i need to renew
00:19:34.796 --> 00:19:36.465
In different seasons, as well, but it's, "i need to renew my mind in this area."
00:19:36.531 --> 00:19:39.134
But it's, "i need to renew my mind in this area." and god not only has
00:19:39.201 --> 00:19:41.069
My mind in this area." and god not only has a way for it to happen,
00:19:41.136 --> 00:19:42.771
And god not only has a way for it to happen, we look in god's word
00:19:42.838 --> 00:19:44.373
A way for it to happen, we look in god's word and it applies to everything
00:19:44.439 --> 00:19:47.209
We look in god's word and it applies to everything in such an incredible way.
00:19:47.276 --> 00:19:49.411
And it applies to everything in such an incredible way. it may not use that word
00:19:49.478 --> 00:19:50.846
In such an incredible way. it may not use that word that we're thinking,
00:19:50.912 --> 00:19:51.747
It may not use that word that we're thinking, but it's so amazing how he has
00:19:51.813 --> 00:19:54.816
That we're thinking, but it's so amazing how he has prepared all of this for it--
00:19:54.883 --> 00:19:56.918
But it's so amazing how he has prepared all of this for it-- for us, so that whatever

A few years, you're beginning to see that your mind is different
00:20:10.999 --> 00:20:12.434
You're beginning to see that your mind is different because you know who
00:20:12.501 --> 00:20:13.635
That your mind is different because you know who god is in a deeper way,
00:20:13.702 --> 00:20:15.404
Because you know who god is in a deeper way, and you've seen him provide.
