Everything good that happens through you is not you. it just means i've wrestled

00:02:44.643 --> 00:02:48.413
And, you know, i'm joyce meyer, okay. but i'm waiting for the day
00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:50.449
I'm joyce meyer, okay. but i'm waiting for the day when somebody says to me,
00:02:50.515 --> 00:02:51.516
But i'm waiting for the day when somebody says to me, "didn't you used
00:02:51.583 --> 00:02:52.150
When somebody says to me, "didn't you used to be joyce meyer?"
00:02:52.217 --> 00:02:52.951
"didn't you used to be joyce meyer?" because, see, i'm still gonna
00:02:53.018 --> 00:02:55.821
To be joyce meyer?" because, see, i'm still gonna be joyce meyer even
00:02:55.887 --> 00:02:57.022
Because, see, i'm still gonna be joyce meyer even when i'm not, "joyce meyer."
00:02:57.089 --> 00:02:59.024
Be joyce meyer even when i'm not, "joyce meyer." you know, if i ever get too old
00:02:59.091 --> 00:03:00.392
When i'm not, "joyce meyer." you know, if i ever get too old to do this, i don't know
00:03:00.459 --> 00:03:01.293
You know, if i ever get too old to do this, i don't know if i will or not, but.
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:02.694
To do this, i don't know if i will or not, but. you know, i'm sure that,
00:03:02.761 --> 00:03:05.530
If i will or not, but. you know, i'm sure that, like, movie stars, maybe--
00:03:05.597 --> 00:03:08.300
You know, i'm sure that, like, movie stars, maybe-- i saw a documentary
00:03:08.367 --> 00:03:10.135
Like, movie stars, maybe-- i saw a documentary about joan crawford,
00:03:10.202 --> 00:03:10.802
I saw a documentary about joan crawford, and somebody asked her,
00:03:10.869 --> 00:03:11.703
About joan crawford, and somebody asked her, "didn't you used
00:03:11.770 --> 00:03:12.337
And somebody asked her, "didn't you used to be joan crawford?"
00:03:12.404 --> 00:03:13.939
"didn't you used to be joan crawford?" well, see, they were
00:03:14.006 --> 00:03:14.840
To be joan crawford?" well, see, they were basing it on what she did,
00:03:14.906 --> 00:03:17.142
Well, see, they were basing it on what she did, instead of who she was.
00:03:17.209 --> 00:03:18.176
Basing it on what she did, instead of who she was. and so, we really need
00:03:18.243 --> 00:03:20.145
Instead of who she was. and so, we really need to separate our who and or do.
00:03:20.212 --> 00:03:22.147
And so, we really need to separate our who and or do. i say that all the time.
00:03:22.214 --> 00:03:23.181
To separate our who and or do. i say that all the time. you know, it's like we always
00:03:23.248 --> 00:03:24.750
I say that all the time. you know, it's like we always wanna know what people do.
00:03:24.816 --> 00:03:25.917
You know, it's like we always wanna know what people do. and if they do something
00:03:25.984 --> 00:03:27.519
Wanna know what people do. and if they do something that's impressive,
00:03:27.586 --> 00:03:28.387
And if they do something that's impressive, then we automatically
00:03:28.453 --> 00:03:29.288
That's impressive, then we automatically think they're more valuable
00:03:29.354 --> 00:03:30.656
Then we automatically think they're more valuable than somebody who washes
00:03:30.722 --> 00:03:32.824
Think they're more valuable than somebody who washes windows or scrubs floors.
00:03:32.891 --> 00:03:34.359
Than somebody who washes windows or scrubs floors. and we're all valuable to god.
00:03:34.426 --> 00:03:37.229
Windows or scrubs floors. and we're all valuable to god. >> ginger: do you ever find
00:03:37.296 --> 00:03:38.196
And we're all valuable to god. >> ginger: do you ever find that when you have a setback,
00:03:38.263 --> 00:03:41.233
>> ginger: do you ever find that when you have a setback, when maybe, you have a big
00:03:41.300 --> 00:03:45.337
That when you have a setback, when maybe, you have a big change in your life or you lose
00:03:45.404 --> 00:03:46.605
When maybe, you have a big change in your life or you lose something important to you,
00:03:46.672 --> 00:03:48.307
Change in your life or you lose something important to you, you know, you have a heartbreak,
00:03:48.373 --> 00:03:50.876
Something important to you, you know, you have a heartbreak, that i think it's a natural
00:03:50.942 --> 00:03:52.377
You know, you have a heartbreak, that i think it's a natural thing for us to then
00:03:52.444 --> 00:03:53.712
That i think it's a natural thing for us to then go back and ask, "oh, but god,
00:03:53.779 --> 00:03:55.914
Thing for us to then go back and ask, "oh, but god, i thought--
00:03:55.981 --> 00:03:56.548
Go back and ask, "oh, but god, i thought-- i thought i was okay,
00:03:56.615 --> 00:03:59.051
I thought-- i thought i was okay, and now i don't feel
00:03:59.117 --> 00:04:00.319
I thought i was okay, and now i don't feel that i am again," because
00:04:00.385 --> 00:04:02.154
And now i don't feel that i am again," because of circumstances in our life.
00:04:02.220 --> 00:04:04.589
That i am again," because of circumstances in our life. so, how do we get beyond
00:04:04.656 --> 00:04:07.259
Of circumstances in our life. so, how do we get beyond the circumstances that we're
00:04:07.326 --> 00:04:08.927
So, how do we get beyond the circumstances that we're living in, to let this become
00:04:08.994 --> 00:04:13.565
The circumstances that we're living in, to let this become a more of a piece of who we are,
00:04:13.632 --> 00:04:15.300
Living in, to let this become a more of a piece of who we are, instead of what's
00:04:15.367 --> 00:04:16.868
A more of a piece of who we are, instead of what's going on around us?
00:04:16.935 --> 00:04:18.203
>> erin: i was thinking, laney,
00:04:18.937 --> 00:04:19.738
>> erin: i was thinking, laney, when you were talking earlier,
00:04:19.805 --> 00:04:21.707
>> erin: i was thinking, laney, when you were talking earlier, that, that revelation
00:04:21.773 --> 00:04:22.874
When you were talking earlier, that, that revelation that you have with god,
00:04:22.941 --> 00:04:23.775
That, that revelation that you have with god, when you fully understand
00:04:23.842 --> 00:04:24.743
That you have with god, when you fully understand who you are in him, it becomes,
00:04:24.810 --> 00:04:27.245
When you fully understand who you are in him, it becomes, for my experience,
00:04:27.312 --> 00:04:27.913
Who you are in him, it becomes, for my experience, like this safe place.
00:04:27.979 --> 00:04:29.081
For my experience, like this safe place. and so, i know i can go to him,
00:04:29.147 --> 00:04:30.415
Like this safe place. and so, i know i can go to him, and i like, i can visualize
00:04:30.482 --> 00:04:31.683
And so, i know i can go to him, and i like, i can visualize what that looks like.
00:04:31.750 --> 00:04:32.417
And i like, i can visualize what that looks like. i am sitting under a tree
00:04:32.484 --> 00:04:33.685
What that looks like. i am sitting under a tree with jesus, and it's my head
00:04:33.752 --> 00:04:34.953
I am sitting under a tree with jesus, and it's my head on his shoulder.
00:04:35.020 --> 00:04:35.587
With jesus, and it's my head on his shoulder. and i'm young and in this
00:04:35.654 --> 00:04:36.888
Vision that i have.
00:04:36.955 --> 00:04:37.856
Vision that i have. and so, when different
00:04:37.923 --> 00:04:39.024
Vision that i have. and so, when different seasons happen, i feel
00:04:39.091 --> 00:04:39.991
And so, when different seasons happen, i feel like that's just part of life.
00:04:40.058 --> 00:04:40.926
Seasons happen, i feel like that's just part of life. we're gonna go through
00:04:40.992 --> 00:04:41.560
Like that's just part of life. we're gonna go through seasons that are gonna cause
00:04:41.626 --> 00:04:42.728
We're gonna go through seasons that are gonna cause us to question our identity.
00:04:42.794 --> 00:04:43.895
Seasons that are gonna cause us to question our identity. and it's not--
00:04:43.962 --> 00:04:44.596
Us to question our identity. and it's not-- i can't avoid it.
00:04:44.663 --> 00:04:45.630
And it's not-- i can't avoid it. it is going to happen.
00:04:45.697 --> 00:04:46.565
I can't avoid it. it is going to happen. but i know i can always
00:04:46.631 --> 00:04:47.999
It is going to happen. but i know i can always go back to that place.
00:04:48.066 --> 00:04:49.034
But i know i can always go back to that place. like, what's that safe place
00:04:49.101 --> 00:04:50.268
Go back to that place. like, what's that safe place i have with jesus where
00:04:50.335 --> 00:04:51.303
Like, what's that safe place i have with jesus where i'm not anybody else, i'm just--
00:04:51.370 --> 00:04:52.904
I have with jesus where i'm not anybody else, i'm just-- i'm just erin?
00:04:52.971 --> 00:04:53.839
I'm not anybody else, i'm just-- i'm just erin? just his daughter
00:04:53.905 --> 00:04:55.240
I'm just erin? just his daughter that he created.
00:04:55.307 --> 00:04:56.007
Just his daughter that he created. and i can go back.
00:04:56.074 --> 00:04:57.509
That he created. and i can go back. that's where my roots are.
00:04:57.576 --> 00:04:58.577
And i can go back. that's where my roots are. like, that's my foundation
00:04:58.643 --> 00:04:59.711
That's where my roots are. like, that's my foundation of who i am in him.
00:04:59.778 --> 00:05:00.612
Like, that's my foundation of who i am in him. and i don't have--
00:05:00.679 --> 00:05:02.547
Of who i am in him. and i don't have-- there's nobody else
00:05:02.614 --> 00:05:03.148
And i don't have-- there's nobody else there but me and him.
00:05:03.215 --> 00:05:03.915
There's nobody else there but me and him. i'm not earning anything.
00:05:03.982 --> 00:05:04.850
There but me and him. i'm not earning anything. it's just to continue
00:05:04.916 --> 00:05:06.485
I'm not earning anything. it's just to continue to go back to the source
00:05:06.551 --> 00:05:07.886
It's just to continue to go back to the source and to be reminded,
00:05:07.953 --> 00:05:08.587
To go back to the source and to be reminded, "no, this is who i am."
00:05:08.653 --> 00:05:09.621
And to be reminded, "no, this is who i am." so, then he can
00:05:09.688 --> 00:05:10.489
"no, this is who i am." so, then he can send me back out.
00:05:10.555 --> 00:05:11.089
So, then he can send me back out. >> ginger: oh, i love that.
00:05:11.156 --> 00:05:11.957
Send me back out. >> ginger: oh, i love that. that's great!
00:05:12.023 --> 00:05:12.290
>> ginger: oh, i love that. that's great! >> erin: that's the reason,
00:05:12.357 --> 00:05:13.024
That's great! >> erin: that's the reason, you know?
00:05:13.091 --> 00:05:13.658
>> erin: that's the reason, you know? >> ginger: yeah.
00:05:13.725 --> 00:05:14.092
You know? >> ginger: yeah. >> erin: but i feel like
00:05:14.159 --> 00:05:14.960
>> ginger: yeah. >> erin: but i feel like you just have to keep
00:05:15.026 --> 00:05:15.727
>> erin: but i feel like you just have to keep going back to him.
00:05:15.794 --> 00:05:16.294
You just have to keep going back to him. >> joyce: and we do have
00:05:16.361 --> 00:05:17.229
Going back to him. >> joyce: and we do have to remember we have an enemy,
00:05:17.295 --> 00:05:18.130
>> joyce: and we do have to remember we have an enemy, the devil.
00:05:18.196 --> 00:05:18.764
To remember we have an enemy, the devil. and he--
00:05:18.830 --> 00:05:19.431
The devil. and he-- i think one of his number one
00:05:19.498 --> 00:05:20.632
And he-- i think one of his number one goals is to make us think
00:05:20.699 --> 00:05:23.902
I think one of his number one goals is to make us think all the time, there's something
00:05:23.969 --> 00:05:25.203
Goals is to make us think all the time, there's something wrong with us, there's something
00:05:25.270 --> 00:05:26.738
All the time, there's something wrong with us, there's something wrong with us.
00:05:26.805 --> 00:05:27.773
Wrong with us, there's something wrong with us. and i can guarantee that
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:28.940
Wrong with us. and i can guarantee that all four of us could name
00:05:29.007 --> 00:05:31.309
And i can guarantee that all four of us could name something pretty quick that
00:05:31.376 --> 00:05:32.411
All four of us could name something pretty quick that we don't like about ourselves.
00:05:32.477 --> 00:05:33.678
You know.
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:35.147
You know. and yet, we believe god
00:05:35.213 --> 00:05:37.749
You know. and yet, we believe god created us with his own hand.
00:05:37.816 --> 00:05:40.318
And yet, we believe god created us with his own hand. you know, like, i mean, i--
00:05:40.385 --> 00:05:42.687
Created us with his own hand. you know, like, i mean, i-- for a long time, i just hated
00:05:42.754 --> 00:05:44.322
You know, like, i mean, i-- for a long time, i just hated my voice because my voice
00:05:44.389 --> 00:05:45.891
For a long time, i just hated my voice because my voice is deeper than most women's
00:05:45.957 --> 00:05:48.093
My voice because my voice is deeper than most women's and here god is blasting
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:49.294
Is deeper than most women's and here god is blasting it all over the world.
00:05:49.361 --> 00:05:50.729
And here god is blasting it all over the world. well, he gave me my voice
00:05:50.796 --> 00:05:53.231
It all over the world. well, he gave me my voice on purpose.
00:05:53.298 --> 00:05:53.999
Well, he gave me my voice on purpose. and now, i realize, you know,
00:05:54.065 --> 00:05:56.101
On purpose. and now, i realize, you know, that it--because it's different,
00:05:56.168 --> 00:05:58.737
And now, i realize, you know, that it--because it's different, it commands attention.
00:05:58.804 --> 00:06:00.338
That it--because it's different, it commands attention. and i believe that it also makes
00:06:00.405 --> 00:06:03.341
It commands attention. and i believe that it also makes it easier for men to listen
00:06:03.408 --> 00:06:04.576
And i believe that it also makes it easier for men to listen to me, because i don't have this
00:06:04.643 --> 00:06:05.877
It easier for men to listen to me, because i don't have this [unintelligible female sounds].
00:06:05.944 --> 00:06:07.012
To me, because i don't have this [unintelligible female sounds]. >> [ginger giggling]
00:06:07.078 --> 00:06:08.013
[unintelligible female sounds]. >> [ginger giggling] >> joyce: and, we have
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.582
>> [ginger giggling] >> joyce: and, we have to learn to--
00:06:10.649 --> 00:06:12.317
"god created us,"
00:06:13.084 --> 00:06:13.819
"god created us," the bible says,
00:06:13.885 --> 00:06:15.387
"god created us," the bible says, "intricately and carefully
00:06:15.454 --> 00:06:17.489
The bible says, "intricately and carefully with his own hand
00:06:17.556 --> 00:06:19.191
"intricately and carefully with his own hand in our mother's womb."
00:06:19.257 --> 00:06:20.325
With his own hand in our mother's womb." and so, you're not a mistake
00:06:20.392 --> 00:06:22.961
If you're not shaped exactly
00:06:23.028 --> 00:06:26.731
If you're not shaped exactly like somebody else,
00:06:26.798 --> 00:06:28.166
If you're not shaped exactly like somebody else, or you don't do exactly
00:06:28.233 --> 00:06:29.935
Like somebody else, or you don't do exactly what somebody else does.
00:06:30.001 --> 00:06:31.136
Or you don't do exactly what somebody else does. >> ginger: i think there's
00:06:31.203 --> 00:06:32.838
What somebody else does. >> ginger: i think there's a easy place that we can go that
00:06:32.904 --> 00:06:34.873
>> ginger: i think there's a easy place that we can go that we overlook that individualism
00:06:34.940 --> 00:06:38.376
A easy place that we can go that we overlook that individualism of what god created in us.
00:06:38.443 --> 00:06:39.811
Like, we even think about
00:06:40.378 --> 00:06:41.213
Like, we even think about john 3:16, "for god
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:42.747
Like, we even think about john 3:16, "for god so loved the world
00:06:42.814 --> 00:06:43.815
John 3:16, "for god so loved the world that he gave his son--"
00:06:43.882 --> 00:06:44.716
So loved the world that he gave his son--" and we can all get
00:06:44.783 --> 00:06:46.551
That he gave his son--" and we can all get on board with that.
00:06:46.618 --> 00:06:47.886
What we miss sometimes
00:06:47.953 --> 00:06:49.421
What we miss sometimes is that god so loved
00:06:49.488 --> 00:06:51.857
What we miss sometimes is that god so loved me that he gave me his son.
00:06:51.923 --> 00:06:55.026
Is that god so loved me that he gave me his son. and it's not just a sprinkle
00:06:55.093 --> 00:06:59.464
Me that he gave me his son. and it's not just a sprinkle around to everybody,
00:06:59.531 --> 00:07:00.599
And it's not just a sprinkle around to everybody, it's individual.
00:07:00.665 --> 00:07:02.634
Around to everybody, it's individual. and i think that's a really
00:07:02.701 --> 00:07:05.403
It's individual. and i think that's a really important thing for
00:07:05.470 --> 00:07:06.071
And i think that's a really important thing for us to get down to.
00:07:06.137 --> 00:07:07.239
Important thing for us to get down to. laney, you said something
00:07:07.305 --> 00:07:08.440
Us to get down to. laney, you said something that i think is really good.
00:07:08.507 --> 00:07:09.374
Laney, you said something that i think is really good. you said, "sometimes letting
00:07:09.441 --> 00:07:10.408
That i think is really good. you said, "sometimes letting go of the things we found our
00:07:10.475 --> 00:07:12.210
You said, "sometimes letting go of the things we found our identity in, that are incorrect,
00:07:12.277 --> 00:07:14.746
Go of the things we found our identity in, that are incorrect, can require a full-on detox."
00:07:14.813 --> 00:07:17.148
Identity in, that are incorrect, can require a full-on detox." so, because it is those
00:07:17.215 --> 00:07:20.085
Can require a full-on detox." so, because it is those things that keep us from
00:07:20.151 --> 00:07:23.421
So, because it is those things that keep us from that individual, understanding
00:07:23.488 --> 00:07:26.558
Things that keep us from that individual, understanding of what christ did for us.
00:07:26.625 --> 00:07:27.893
That individual, understanding of what christ did for us. so, what does a detox look like?
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:29.895
Of what christ did for us. so, what does a detox look like? how do we detox all this
00:07:29.961 --> 00:07:31.663
So, what does a detox look like? how do we detox all this stuff out of the way?
00:07:31.730 --> 00:07:33.198
How do we detox all this stuff out of the way? >> laney: well, tangibly,
00:07:33.265 --> 00:07:34.366
Stuff out of the way? >> laney: well, tangibly, for me it looked like quitting
00:07:34.432 --> 00:07:35.700
>> laney: well, tangibly, for me it looked like quitting a lot of things that were like,
00:07:35.767 --> 00:07:37.269
For me it looked like quitting a lot of things that were like, my normal.
00:07:37.335 --> 00:07:38.203
A lot of things that were like, my normal. the things that
00:07:38.270 --> 00:07:38.870
My normal. the things that i found comfort in,
00:07:38.937 --> 00:07:40.906
The things that i found comfort in, moving away from my family.
00:07:40.972 --> 00:07:42.674
I found comfort in, moving away from my family. like, not saying everyone
00:07:42.741 --> 00:07:44.142
Moving away from my family. like, not saying everyone should do that, but that
00:07:44.209 --> 00:07:47.279
Like, not saying everyone should do that, but that was kind of the tangible things
00:07:47.345 --> 00:07:49.748
Should do that, but that was kind of the tangible things that i felt like god was saying,
00:07:49.814 --> 00:07:51.049
Was kind of the tangible things that i felt like god was saying, like, "let go of this,
00:07:51.116 --> 00:07:51.950
That i felt like god was saying, like, "let go of this, let go of this,
00:07:52.017 --> 00:07:52.851
Like, "let go of this, let go of this, let go of this."
00:07:52.918 --> 00:07:53.518
Let go of this, let go of this." because he wanted to show
00:07:53.585 --> 00:07:55.554
Let go of this." because he wanted to show me something better.
00:07:55.620 --> 00:07:56.555
Because he wanted to show me something better. >> joyce: things that your
00:07:56.621 --> 00:07:57.355
Me something better. >> joyce: things that your security's in.
00:07:57.422 --> 00:07:58.657
>> joyce: things that your security's in. >> laney: yes, yes.
00:07:58.723 --> 00:07:59.457
Security's in. >> laney: yes, yes. and just letting go.
00:07:59.524 --> 00:08:01.059
>> laney: yes, yes. and just letting go. and i think, then it becomes
00:08:01.126 --> 00:08:02.594
And just letting go. and i think, then it becomes just his word, like,
00:08:02.661 --> 00:08:04.496
And i think, then it becomes just his word, like, i fell in love with his word.
00:08:04.563 --> 00:08:06.131
Just his word, like, i fell in love with his word. i'd been--
00:08:06.197 --> 00:08:08.099
I fell in love with his word. i'd been-- i'd heard scripture
00:08:08.166 --> 00:08:09.601
I'd been-- i'd heard scripture my whole life,
00:08:09.668 --> 00:08:10.268
I'd heard scripture my whole life, growing up in a christian home,
00:08:10.335 --> 00:08:11.570
My whole life, growing up in a christian home, but when i started to open
00:08:11.636 --> 00:08:13.672
Growing up in a christian home, but when i started to open it and look for jesus,
00:08:13.738 --> 00:08:15.674
But when i started to open it and look for jesus, to not look for what
00:08:15.740 --> 00:08:17.275
It and look for jesus, to not look for what i've done wrong, you know,
00:08:17.342 --> 00:08:18.777
To not look for what i've done wrong, you know, like we're saying,
00:08:18.843 --> 00:08:19.477
I've done wrong, you know, like we're saying, or what i need to change,
00:08:19.544 --> 00:08:20.812
Like we're saying, or what i need to change, but looking for jesus
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.714
Or what i need to change, but looking for jesus in the story,
00:08:22.781 --> 00:08:23.815
But looking for jesus in the story, and i have so much
00:08:23.882 --> 00:08:25.216
In the story, and i have so much to learn still,
00:08:25.283 --> 00:08:26.151
And i have so much to learn still, but simply that just
00:08:26.217 --> 00:08:28.520
To learn still, but simply that just changed things for
00:08:28.587 --> 00:08:29.521
But simply that just changed things for me and started to change
00:08:29.588 --> 00:08:31.623
Changed things for me and started to change me from the inside out.
00:08:31.690 --> 00:08:34.092
Me and started to change me from the inside out. and it was really cool.
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:35.160
Me from the inside out. and it was really cool. i just turned 30 this year
00:08:35.226 --> 00:08:36.728
And it was really cool. i just turned 30 this year and, i was kind of--
00:08:36.795 --> 00:08:38.730
I just turned 30 this year and, i was kind of-- >> joyce: you, old thing, you.
00:08:38.797 --> 00:08:40.398
And, i was kind of-- >> joyce: you, old thing, you. >> [ladies laughing]
00:08:40.465 --> 00:08:41.032
>> joyce: you, old thing, you. >> [ladies laughing] >> joyce: i have to laugh
00:08:41.099 --> 00:08:42.834
>> [ladies laughing] >> joyce: i have to laugh when people do that.
00:08:42.901 --> 00:08:45.570
>> joyce: i have to laugh when people do that. >> laney: but i was thinking
00:08:45.637 --> 00:08:46.504
When people do that. >> laney: but i was thinking back to my 20th birthday
00:08:46.571 --> 00:08:48.039
>> laney: but i was thinking back to my 20th birthday and thinking about just like
00:08:48.106 --> 00:08:50.275
Back to my 20th birthday and thinking about just like the difference between what
00:08:50.342 --> 00:08:52.043
And thinking about just like the difference between what i wanted then, and what i--
00:08:52.110 --> 00:08:57.048
The difference between what i wanted then, and what i-- what i wanted this time.
00:08:57.115 --> 00:08:58.750
I wanted then, and what i-- what i wanted this time. like, just that marker of,
00:08:58.817 --> 00:09:00.485
What i wanted this time. like, just that marker of, like, i want it to be--
00:09:00.552 --> 00:09:01.686
Like, just that marker of, like, i want it to be-- >> ginger: oh, honey,
00:09:01.753 --> 00:09:02.354
Like, i want it to be-- >> ginger: oh, honey, wait for 40 and 50.
00:09:02.420 --> 00:09:03.121
>> ginger: oh, honey, wait for 40 and 50. i mean, it just--
00:09:03.188 --> 00:09:03.922
Wait for 40 and 50. i mean, it just-- i love talking about these
00:09:03.989 --> 00:09:05.624
I mean, it just-- i love talking about these changes because
00:09:05.690 --> 00:09:06.291
I love talking about these changes because it's so important.
00:09:06.358 --> 00:09:08.026
Changes because it's so important. >> laney: yeah, but i wanted
00:09:08.093 --> 00:09:09.394
It's so important. >> laney: yeah, but i wanted to be worthy of my title,
00:09:09.461 --> 00:09:11.630
>> laney: yeah, but i wanted to be worthy of my title, you know?
00:09:11.696 --> 00:09:12.263
To be worthy of my title, you know? i wanted to be beautiful.
00:09:12.330 --> 00:09:13.932
You know? i wanted to be beautiful. i wanted all these, like,
00:09:13.999 --> 00:09:15.900
I wanted to be beautiful. i wanted all these, like, physical milestone things.
00:09:15.967 --> 00:09:18.303
I wanted all these, like, physical milestone things. and yes, when i turned 30,
00:09:18.370 --> 00:09:20.438
Physical milestone things. and yes, when i turned 30, i had some of those things
00:09:20.505 --> 00:09:22.207
And yes, when i turned 30, i had some of those things that 20-year-old laney wanted.
00:09:22.273 --> 00:09:24.442
I had some of those things that 20-year-old laney wanted. but my desires have so changed.
00:09:24.509 --> 00:09:28.346
That 20-year-old laney wanted. but my desires have so changed. he's changed me.
00:09:28.413 --> 00:09:29.814
But my desires have so changed. he's changed me. he's changed what
00:09:29.881 --> 00:09:31.349
He's changed me. he's changed what brings life to me.
00:09:31.416 --> 00:09:32.917
He's changed what brings life to me. he's changed my desires.
00:09:32.984 --> 00:09:34.552
Brings life to me. he's changed my desires. he's changed what i want,
00:09:34.619 --> 00:09:36.554
He's changed my desires. he's changed what i want, you know?
00:09:36.621 --> 00:09:37.389
He's changed what i want, you know? and i think the detox just
00:09:37.455 --> 00:09:39.791
You know? and i think the detox just comes from opening his word,
00:09:39.858 --> 00:09:41.760
And i think the detox just comes from opening his word, looking for him,
00:09:41.826 --> 00:09:43.294
Comes from opening his word, looking for him, asking him to speak to you
00:09:43.361 --> 00:09:44.863
Looking for him, asking him to speak to you and just receiving, like,
00:09:44.929 --> 00:09:47.499
Asking him to speak to you and just receiving, like, just receive what he's done.
00:09:47.565 --> 00:09:48.967
And just receiving, like, just receive what he's done. and that changes
00:09:49.034 --> 00:09:49.968
Just receive what he's done. and that changes you from the inside out.
00:09:50.035 --> 00:09:51.336
And that changes you from the inside out. and it's less about, you know,
00:09:51.403 --> 00:09:53.004
You from the inside out. and it's less about, you know, trying to make it happen
00:09:53.071 --> 00:09:54.139
And it's less about, you know, trying to make it happen or trying to do the right
00:09:54.205 --> 00:09:55.173
Trying to make it happen or trying to do the right thing over and over,
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:56.307
Or trying to do the right thing over and over, but just receiving
00:09:56.374 --> 00:09:58.376
Thing over and over, but just receiving what he's done.
00:09:58.443 --> 00:09:58.977
But just receiving what he's done. >> joyce: and just being
00:09:59.044 --> 00:09:59.744
What he's done. >> joyce: and just being obedient, one step at a time.
00:09:59.811 --> 00:10:01.246
>> joyce: and just being obedient, one step at a time. like, he was telling you
00:10:01.312 --> 00:10:02.747
Obedient, one step at a time. like, he was telling you to let go of things.
00:10:02.814 --> 00:10:04.349
Like, he was telling you to let go of things. and that's not easy, you know.
00:10:04.416 --> 00:10:06.484
To let go of things. and that's not easy, you know. i guess the more you do it,
00:10:06.551 --> 00:10:07.686
And that's not easy, you know. i guess the more you do it, the easier it gets, because
00:10:07.752 --> 00:10:08.920
I guess the more you do it, the easier it gets, because you see the good result.
00:10:08.987 --> 00:10:10.255
But it--
00:10:10.922 --> 00:10:11.456
But it-- you know, god asked
00:10:11.523 --> 00:10:12.390
But it-- you know, god asked abraham to leave his family and,
00:10:12.457 --> 00:10:14.959
You know, god asked abraham to leave his family and, "go to a place that
00:10:15.026 --> 00:10:15.894
Abraham to leave his family and, "go to a place that i will show you."
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:17.729
"go to a place that i will show you." well, i mean, that had
00:10:17.796 --> 00:10:18.530
I will show you." well, i mean, that had to be really difficult.
00:10:18.596 --> 00:10:20.665
Well, i mean, that had to be really difficult. i mean, i might say,
00:10:20.732 --> 00:10:22.367
To be really difficult. i mean, i might say, "well, you show me, and i'll go,
00:10:22.434 --> 00:10:23.702
I mean, i might say, "well, you show me, and i'll go, if i think i'm gonna like it."
00:10:23.768 --> 00:10:25.770
"well, you show me, and i'll go, if i think i'm gonna like it." but, you know, he just packed
00:10:25.837 --> 00:10:27.972
If i think i'm gonna like it." but, you know, he just packed up and took off and didn't even
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:29.307
But, you know, he just packed up and took off and didn't even know where he was going.
00:10:29.374 --> 00:10:31.342
Up and took off and didn't even know where he was going. and i think sometimes
00:10:31.409 --> 00:10:32.143
Know where he was going. and i think sometimes we all feel like that.
00:10:32.210 --> 00:10:33.278
And i think sometimes we all feel like that. it's like you let go of one
00:10:33.344 --> 00:10:34.679
We all feel like that. it's like you let go of one thing and you're hoping god's
00:10:34.746 --> 00:10:37.615
It's like you let go of one thing and you're hoping god's gonna do this other thing,
00:10:37.682 --> 00:10:38.850
Thing and you're hoping god's gonna do this other thing, but you're not sure that
00:10:38.917 --> 00:10:39.851
Gonna do this other thing, but you're not sure that he is until you actually--
00:10:39.918 --> 00:10:41.786
But you're not sure that he is until you actually-- he always makes us let go,
00:10:41.853 --> 00:10:43.455
He is until you actually-- he always makes us let go, before he proves that he's gonna
00:10:43.521 --> 00:10:47.025
He always makes us let go, before he proves that he's gonna do the next thing.
00:10:47.092 --> 00:10:48.526
Before he proves that he's gonna do the next thing. >> erin: yeah.
00:10:48.593 --> 00:10:49.060
Do the next thing. >> erin: yeah. >> ginger: you talked about
00:10:49.127 --> 00:10:49.828
>> erin: yeah. >> ginger: you talked about a verse--well, we all--
00:10:49.894 --> 00:10:53.298
>> ginger: you talked about a verse--well, we all-- probably most of us know it,
00:10:53.364 --> 00:10:54.733
A verse--well, we all-- probably most of us know it, jeremiah 29:11.
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:56.668
Probably most of us know it, jeremiah 29:11. but the original hebrew,
00:10:56.735 --> 00:10:58.203
Jeremiah 29:11. but the original hebrew, you said, helped you
00:10:58.269 --> 00:10:58.937
But the original hebrew, you said, helped you so much to understand
00:10:59.003 --> 00:11:00.972
You said, helped you so much to understand that it's not just,
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:02.340
So much to understand that it's not just, "i have a hope and a future
00:11:02.407 --> 00:11:03.541
That it's not just, "i have a hope and a future for you," but that, in that
00:11:03.608 --> 00:11:05.877
"i have a hope and a future for you," but that, in that is healing from the past.
00:11:05.944 --> 00:11:07.445
For you," but that, in that is healing from the past. and i think that's a lot
00:11:07.512 --> 00:11:08.747
Of this for people, is that,
00:11:08.813 --> 00:11:11.616
Of this for people, is that, "i can't understand who
00:11:11.683 --> 00:11:12.884
Of this for people, is that, "i can't understand who i am because my wounds,
00:11:12.951 --> 00:11:15.987
"i can't understand who i am because my wounds, don't allow me to,
00:11:16.054 --> 00:11:17.188
I am because my wounds, don't allow me to, because they're still
00:11:17.255 --> 00:11:18.490
Don't allow me to, because they're still kind of gaping and open."
00:11:18.556 --> 00:11:19.991
Because they're still kind of gaping and open." and so, that healing
00:11:20.058 --> 00:11:21.993
Kind of gaping and open." and so, that healing is a big part of this, isn't it?
00:11:22.060 --> 00:11:23.895
And so, that healing is a big part of this, isn't it? to be able to gather that
00:11:23.962 --> 00:11:26.131
Is a big part of this, isn't it? to be able to gather that christ not only loves us,
00:11:26.197 --> 00:11:28.233
To be able to gather that christ not only loves us, but that whatever
00:11:28.299 --> 00:11:29.768
Christ not only loves us, but that whatever it is that has made us feel
00:11:29.834 --> 00:11:32.203
But that whatever it is that has made us feel unworthy or unlovable
00:11:32.270 --> 00:11:34.405
It is that has made us feel unworthy or unlovable or not worthy of what god
00:11:34.472 --> 00:11:37.809
Unworthy or unlovable or not worthy of what god does want us to receive,
00:11:37.876 --> 00:11:39.043
Or not worthy of what god does want us to receive, that's what holds us back.
00:11:39.110 --> 00:11:41.412
Does want us to receive, that's what holds us back. that he wants to heal those
00:11:41.479 --> 00:11:42.847
That's what holds us back. that he wants to heal those so that, then we can receive it.
00:11:42.914 --> 00:11:45.917
That he wants to heal those so that, then we can receive it. >> laney: thinking back too,
00:11:45.984 --> 00:11:46.985
So that, then we can receive it. >> laney: thinking back too, i'm like, my healing came
00:11:47.051 --> 00:11:49.387
>> laney: thinking back too, i'm like, my healing came in that season and then
00:11:49.454 --> 00:11:50.755
I'm like, my healing came in that season and then my life changed.
00:11:50.822 --> 00:11:51.756
In that season and then my life changed. like, i think, you know,
00:11:51.823 --> 00:11:53.191
My life changed. like, i think, you know, we want the physical...
00:11:53.258 --> 00:11:54.192
Like, i think, you know, we want the physical... >> joyce: right.
00:11:54.259 --> 00:11:54.759
We want the physical... >> joyce: right. >> laney: like you're saying.
00:11:54.826 --> 00:11:55.527
>> joyce: right. >> laney: like you're saying. but healing came.
00:11:55.593 --> 00:11:56.761
>> laney: like you're saying. but healing came. and then, it was like,
00:11:56.828 --> 00:11:57.595
But healing came. and then, it was like, i didn't really care about
00:11:57.662 --> 00:11:58.630
And then, it was like, i didn't really care about a lot of the other things.
00:11:58.696 --> 00:11:59.798
I didn't really care about a lot of the other things. like, i really didn't.
00:11:59.864 --> 00:12:00.899
A lot of the other things. like, i really didn't. but then, all of a sudden,
00:12:00.965 --> 00:12:02.867
Like, i really didn't. but then, all of a sudden, some of those things just
00:12:02.934 --> 00:12:04.002
But then, all of a sudden, some of those things just flung wide open, you know,
00:12:04.068 --> 00:12:05.670
Some of those things just flung wide open, you know, and i got to enjoy them so much
00:12:05.737 --> 00:12:07.372
Flung wide open, you know, and i got to enjoy them so much more because i felt whole,
00:12:07.438 --> 00:12:10.408
And i got to enjoy them so much more because i felt whole, you know?
00:12:10.475 --> 00:12:11.109
More because i felt whole, you know? >> ginger: yeah.
00:12:11.176 --> 00:12:11.743
You know? >> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: you were talking
00:12:11.810 --> 00:12:12.477
>> ginger: yeah. >> joyce: you were talking about your desires changing.
00:12:12.544 --> 00:12:14.379
And, i have pondered a lot--
00:12:15.613 --> 00:12:18.049
And, i have pondered a lot-- a couple of scriptures
00:12:18.116 --> 00:12:19.050
And, i have pondered a lot-- a couple of scriptures in the bible.
00:12:19.117 --> 00:12:19.717
A couple of scriptures in the bible. one says, "if you abide
00:12:19.784 --> 00:12:20.718
In the bible. one says, "if you abide in me and my word abides in you,
00:12:20.785 --> 00:12:22.320
One says, "if you abide in me and my word abides in you, you can ask whatever you will,
00:12:22.387 --> 00:12:23.688
In me and my word abides in you, you can ask whatever you will, and i'll do it."
00:12:23.755 --> 00:12:24.923
You can ask whatever you will, and i'll do it." and i'm like, "how can you
00:12:24.989 --> 00:12:28.193
Make that kind of promise to,
00:12:28.259 --> 00:12:29.561
Make that kind of promise to, you know, people?"
00:12:29.627 --> 00:12:30.795
Make that kind of promise to, you know, people?" but the fact is,
00:12:30.862 --> 00:12:32.063
You know, people?" but the fact is, is if you do abide in him
00:12:32.130 --> 00:12:34.966
But the fact is, is if you do abide in him and in his word,
00:12:35.033 --> 00:12:36.034
Is if you do abide in him and in his word, you will become so close
00:12:36.100 --> 00:12:38.870
And in his word, you will become so close to him that you're not gonna
00:12:38.937 --> 00:12:40.939
You will become so close to him that you're not gonna want anything other than
00:12:41.005 --> 00:12:42.307
To him that you're not gonna want anything other than what he wants for you.
00:12:42.373 --> 00:12:44.175
And i frequently,
00:12:45.109 --> 00:12:45.677
And i frequently, when i ask god for something
00:12:45.743 --> 00:12:46.678
And i frequently, when i ask god for something that's not specifically
00:12:46.744 --> 00:12:47.545
When i ask god for something that's not specifically in the word, i'll say,
00:12:47.612 --> 00:12:48.479
That's not specifically in the word, i'll say, "and please don't give
00:12:48.546 --> 00:12:49.647
In the word, i'll say, "and please don't give it to me if it's not right,"
00:12:49.714 --> 00:12:52.550
"and please don't give it to me if it's not right," because there's nothing
00:12:52.617 --> 00:12:53.318
It to me if it's not right," because there's nothing worse than having
00:12:53.384 --> 00:12:54.719
Because there's nothing worse than having a bunch of stuff that
00:12:54.786 --> 00:12:55.753
Worse than having a bunch of stuff that you connived around to get,
00:12:55.820 --> 00:12:57.755
A bunch of stuff that you connived around to get, and it's not really god for you.
00:12:57.822 --> 00:12:59.090
You connived around to get, and it's not really god for you. >> erin: you know, one thing,
00:12:59.157 --> 00:13:00.325
And it's not really god for you. >> erin: you know, one thing, i think it's interesting
00:13:00.391 --> 00:13:02.627
On the healing piece of it, too,
00:13:02.694 --> 00:13:04.529
On the healing piece of it, too, when you abide in him like
00:13:04.596 --> 00:13:05.430
On the healing piece of it, too, when you abide in him like that, when you're that close
00:13:05.496 --> 00:13:06.297
When you abide in him like that, when you're that close to him, and he's healed
00:13:06.364 --> 00:13:07.665
That, when you're that close to him, and he's healed the past hurts and you begin
00:13:07.732 --> 00:13:09.767
To him, and he's healed the past hurts and you begin to discover who you are in him,
00:13:09.834 --> 00:13:11.135
The past hurts and you begin to discover who you are in him, then when future hurts happen,
00:13:11.202 --> 00:13:13.104
To discover who you are in him, then when future hurts happen, they don't cut his deep
00:13:13.171 --> 00:13:14.806
Then when future hurts happen, they don't cut his deep because you can go back to,
00:13:14.873 --> 00:13:17.041
They don't cut his deep because you can go back to, "no, this is who--
00:13:17.108 --> 00:13:17.876
Because you can go back to, "no, this is who-- this is what the word
00:13:17.942 --> 00:13:18.877
"no, this is who-- this is what the word says that i am.
00:13:18.943 --> 00:13:19.611
This is what the word says that i am. this is who god says i am."
00:13:19.677 --> 00:13:20.778
Says that i am. this is who god says i am." so, i can take that
00:13:20.845 --> 00:13:22.046
This is who god says i am." so, i can take that wound and it--
00:13:22.113 --> 00:13:24.115
So, i can take that wound and it-- god can heal you quicker,
00:13:24.182 --> 00:13:25.650
Wound and it-- god can heal you quicker, is that fair to say?
00:13:25.717 --> 00:13:26.417
God can heal you quicker, is that fair to say? because you're not--
00:13:26.484 --> 00:13:28.553
Is that fair to say? because you're not-- it's not sinking so deep
00:13:28.620 --> 00:13:29.420
Because you're not-- it's not sinking so deep because you know the truth.
00:13:29.487 --> 00:13:30.321
It's not sinking so deep because you know the truth. and it doesn't mean
00:13:30.388 --> 00:13:31.122
Because you know the truth. and it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.
00:13:31.189 --> 00:13:31.756
And it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. it still hurts.
00:13:31.823 --> 00:13:32.390
It doesn't hurt. it still hurts. >> joyce: it doesn't have time

It still hurts. >> joyce: it doesn't have time to get deep roots in you though.

>> joyce: it doesn't have time to get deep roots in you though. >> erin: yeah, yeah.

To get deep roots in you though. >> erin: yeah, yeah. which i think is amazing.
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:36.628
>> erin: yeah, yeah. which i think is amazing. there's--
00:13:36.694 --> 00:13:37.595
Which i think is amazing. there's-- he heals you for the past
00:13:37.662 --> 00:13:39.230
There's-- he heals you for the past and then it impacts your
00:13:39.297 --> 00:13:40.565
He heals you for the past and then it impacts your future moving forward.
00:13:40.632 --> 00:13:41.499

Of it when you do a little digging yourself. and, you know, frankly, i'm
00:15:36.180 --> 00:15:37.782
Digging yourself. and, you know, frankly, i'm glad when i was first started

All that used to take me a long time. but i think it was good,

Me a long time. but i think it was good, because it made me dig it out.
00:16:06.411 --> 00:16:09.247
But i think it was good, because it made me dig it out. it made me, you know, do it.
00:16:09.313 --> 00:16:11.315
Because it made me dig it out. it made me, you know, do it. but like, for example--
00:16:11.382 --> 00:16:14.685
It made me, you know, do it. but like, for example-- are you ever in a situation

>> erin: love that one. >> joyce: let's just say that maybe somebody was married,
00:16:29.700 --> 00:16:31.369
>> joyce: let's just say that maybe somebody was married, and they had this group
00:16:31.436 --> 00:16:32.370
Maybe somebody was married, and they had this group of married friends,
00:16:32.437 --> 00:16:33.304
And they had this group of married friends, and then their spouse dies,
00:16:33.371 --> 00:16:34.739
Of married friends, and then their spouse dies, and their friends are still
00:16:34.806 --> 00:16:36.340
And then their spouse dies, and their friends are still inviting them to things,
00:16:36.407 --> 00:16:37.442
And their friends are still inviting them to things, but now they feel
00:16:37.508 --> 00:16:38.242
Inviting them to things, but now they feel totally out of place.
00:16:38.309 --> 00:16:40.678
But now they feel totally out of place. they don't have to,
00:16:40.745 --> 00:16:42.947
Totally out of place. they don't have to, because they're complete
00:16:43.014 --> 00:16:43.648
They don't have to, because they're complete in christ.
00:16:43.714 --> 00:16:45.049
Because they're complete in christ. i worked at a church in

And when god called me to start my own ministry, i still went to church there.
00:16:54.425 --> 00:16:55.860
Me to start my own ministry, i still went to church there. but i felt really out
00:16:55.927 --> 00:16:56.661
I still went to church there. but i felt really out of place because

00:16:58.329 --> 00:17:00.231
Of place because i wasn't what i used to be, and i wasn't included in things
00:17:00.298 --> 00:17:02.767
I wasn't what i used to be, and i wasn't included in things that i used to be included in.
00:17:02.834 --> 00:17:04.702

Week depressed, you know. but i was still the same person.
00:17:12.443 --> 00:17:13.144
But i was still the same person. my completeness was not
00:17:13.211 --> 00:17:14.645
The same person. my completeness was not in being on that staff.
00:17:14.712 --> 00:17:15.880
My completeness was not in being on that staff. it was--

Think about yourself by doing what you call self-talk.
00:17:48.779 --> 00:17:50.748
Think about yourself by doing what you call self-talk. you can talk to yourself
00:17:50.815 --> 00:17:52.083
What you call self-talk. you can talk to yourself quietly inside,
00:17:52.150 --> 00:17:52.950
You can talk to yourself quietly inside, but you can also talk
00:17:53.017 --> 00:17:53.818
Quietly inside, but you can also talk to yourself out loud.
00:17:53.885 --> 00:17:55.219

In my life, and not one of them were a reality, but they were all scriptural.

00:20:54.532 --> 00:20:56.200
I still i can see this school yard just as plain as anything, right now.
00:20:56.267 --> 00:20:56.834
Yard just as plain as anything, right now. i remember backing
00:20:56.901 --> 00:20:58.002
Right now. i remember backing up in a corner and just
00:20:58.069 --> 00:20:58.903
I remember backing up in a corner and just kind of hiding from everybody.
00:20:58.969 --> 00:21:00.705
Up in a corner and just kind of hiding from everybody. and, i felt ugly, because
00:21:00.771 --> 00:21:04.575
Kind of hiding from everybody. and, i felt ugly, because of that ugly, wolf mask.
00:21:04.642 --> 00:21:06.377
And, i felt ugly, because of that ugly, wolf mask. and so, there are things
00:21:06.444 --> 00:21:07.411
Of that ugly, wolf mask. and so, there are things that may be bothering people
00:21:07.478 --> 00:21:10.681
And so, there are things that may be bothering people that they've forgotten
00:21:10.748 --> 00:21:11.615
That may be bothering people that they've forgotten even happened to them.
00:21:11.682 --> 00:21:13.451
That they've forgotten even happened to them. but it was traumatic for me,
00:21:13.517 --> 00:21:15.553
Even happened to them. but it was traumatic for me, at that time.
00:21:15.619 --> 00:21:16.220
But it was traumatic for me, at that time. but the good news is,
00:21:16.287 --> 00:21:18.956
At that time. but the good news is, jesus is our healer.
00:21:19.023 --> 00:21:20.958
But the good news is, jesus is our healer. and if we will open our
00:21:21.025 --> 00:21:21.992
Jesus is our healer. and if we will open our hearts to him like laney did--
00:21:22.059 --> 00:21:24.395
And if we will open our hearts to him like laney did-- and we all did in some kind
00:21:24.462 --> 00:21:26.297
Hearts to him like laney did-- and we all did in some kind of a different way.
00:21:26.364 --> 00:21:27.498
And we all did in some kind of a different way. he will heal you.
00:21:27.565 --> 00:21:29.800
Of a different way. he will heal you. it will not be overnight.
00:21:29.867 --> 00:21:32.002
He will heal you. it will not be overnight. it will take time.
00:21:32.069 --> 00:21:34.205
It will not be overnight. it will take time. sometimes it will hurt.
00:21:34.271 --> 00:21:35.406
It will take time. sometimes it will hurt. but if you stick with it,
00:21:35.473 --> 00:21:38.209
Sometimes it will hurt. but if you stick with it, you can also be free from
00:21:38.275 --> 00:21:39.543
But if you stick with it, you can also be free from all those things that
00:21:39.610 --> 00:21:41.345
You can also be free from all those things that are a problem for you.
00:21:41.412 --> 00:21:42.713
All those things that are a problem for you. >> ginger: you talk about
00:21:42.780 --> 00:21:43.447
Are a problem for you. >> ginger: you talk about different scriptures that
00:21:43.514 --> 00:21:45.783
>> ginger: you talk about different scriptures that have impacted all of us and not
00:21:45.850 --> 00:21:47.818
Different scriptures that have impacted all of us and not being spiritually lazy so that
00:21:47.885 --> 00:21:49.820
Have impacted all of us and not being spiritually lazy so that we can find those things
00:21:49.887 --> 00:21:51.155
Being spiritually lazy so that we can find those things and hold on to them and believe.
00:21:51.222 --> 00:21:53.557
And one of them, for me,
00:21:54.058 --> 00:21:55.192
And one of them, for me, is ephesians 2:10.
00:21:55.259 --> 00:21:56.360
And one of them, for me, is ephesians 2:10. it says, "for we are his
00:21:56.427 --> 00:21:57.495
Is ephesians 2:10. it says, "for we are his workmanship, created in christ
00:21:57.561 --> 00:22:00.064
It says, "for we are his workmanship, created in christ jesus for good works."
00:22:00.131 --> 00:22:01.432
Workmanship, created in christ jesus for good works." and that means so much to me,
00:22:01.499 --> 00:22:03.501
Because again, it's like that,
00:22:03.567 --> 00:22:05.569
Because again, it's like that, with god so loving
00:22:05.636 --> 00:22:07.538
Because again, it's like that, with god so loving the world is very broad.
00:22:07.605 --> 00:22:09.173
With god so loving the world is very broad. but it's not just that i was
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:11.242
The world is very broad. but it's not just that i was even created by god,
00:22:11.308 --> 00:22:13.244
But it's not just that i was even created by god, but it's i'm his workmanship.
00:22:13.310 --> 00:22:15.579
Even created by god, but it's i'm his workmanship. that means he took
00:22:15.646 --> 00:22:16.480
But it's i'm his workmanship. that means he took his hands with me,
00:22:16.547 --> 00:22:18.416
That means he took his hands with me, specifically, in mind
00:22:18.482 --> 00:22:19.884
His hands with me, specifically, in mind and gave me parts of my mom,
00:22:19.950 --> 00:22:24.488
Specifically, in mind and gave me parts of my mom, and parts of my dad,
00:22:24.555 --> 00:22:25.489
And gave me parts of my mom, and parts of my dad, and parts of christ,
00:22:25.556 --> 00:22:27.425
And parts of my dad, and parts of christ, that he just wanted me to have
00:22:27.491 --> 00:22:28.859
And parts of christ, that he just wanted me to have to be able to serve him,
00:22:28.926 --> 00:22:29.994
That he just wanted me to have to be able to serve him, and created something totally
00:22:30.060 --> 00:22:32.463
To be able to serve him, and created something totally different than anybody else.
00:22:32.530 --> 00:22:33.964
And created something totally different than anybody else. and when i look
00:22:34.031 --> 00:22:35.065
Different than anybody else. and when i look at all the problems that
00:22:35.132 --> 00:22:36.033
And when i look at all the problems that i see in those things, i'm like,
00:22:36.100 --> 00:22:37.067
At all the problems that i see in those things, i'm like, "god, why did you
00:22:37.134 --> 00:22:37.968
I see in those things, i'm like, "god, why did you make me so mouthy?"
00:22:38.035 --> 00:22:38.969
"god, why did you make me so mouthy?" >> [ladies laughing]
00:22:39.036 --> 00:22:39.904
Make me so mouthy?" >> [ladies laughing] >> ginger: you know,

00:22:42.506 --> 00:22:43.574
"why are some of these things going on?" and he's like,
00:22:43.641 --> 00:22:45.776
Things going on?" and he's like, "i knew what i was doing.
00:22:45.843 --> 00:22:47.812
And he's like, "i knew what i was doing. i created you for good works."
00:22:47.878 --> 00:22:50.314
"i knew what i was doing. i created you for good works." and they've been a part
00:22:50.381 --> 00:22:53.350
I created you for good works." and they've been a part of god's plan for me all along.
00:22:53.417 --> 00:22:55.686
And they've been a part of god's plan for me all along. and so, there are so many
00:22:55.753 --> 00:22:57.888
Of god's plan for me all along. and so, there are so many beautiful things in the word
00:22:57.955 --> 00:22:59.457
And so, there are so many beautiful things in the word that we could hold on to that
00:22:59.523 --> 00:23:01.225
Beautiful things in the word that we could hold on to that really do change our hearts.

Up to new challenges and meet them head on is imperative.
