What If It All Works Out

WEBVTT
00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:04.240
Welcome back to the Cup of Joy podcast.
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:10.720
This is your host, Amanda Joy, with a very special treasure of a guest.
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:11.839
You say that every time.
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:12.480
I love it.
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:13.839
I eat it up every time.
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.000
I mean, come on, fresh.
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:17.679
I mean, even your name, Precious.
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:19.679
Precious guest.
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:24.320
So, do you want to just introduce yourself to the audience?
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:24.960
Hi.
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:26.960
My name is Precious Priggy.
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:28.320
I'm Amanda's bestie.
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.399
You're actually in my phone as bestie.
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.000
So yes, can confirm.
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:34.159
And I've been telling her to do this podcast.
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:37.119
So I said today when we hang out, we're doing a podcast.
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:38.159
We're doing a podcast.
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.880
And I'm like, dang, I kind of wish it was raining outside.
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:47.119
Because you know, having being stuck in we're already at the gym, like in this dark dungeon gym.
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:47.759
Stinky.
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.000
Lifting up what it was so stinky.
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:50.640
Was that me?
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:50.960
No.
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:52.640
It was somebody else.
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:53.119
Okay.
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:54.799
I like anyway.
00:00:55.439 --> 00:01:01.759
And just knowing it's beautiful outside, I'm like, I don't really want to record a podcast episode unless it's like raining.
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.280
And then sure enough, on the way home, raindrops.
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:06.159
Raindrops.
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.319
I'm like, you know, okay, this is a good idea.
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:08.959
This could work.
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:10.159
We can't go on a walk now.
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:10.879
We don't have our baby.
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:12.159
So the walk doesn't even matter.
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:19.439
Anyway, but you're clicking on this podcast episode because it's titled What If It All Worked Out.
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.359
What if it all worked out?
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:22.480
What if it did?
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.439
I feel like it worked out today.
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:27.519
So let's get into it.
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.799
Um, should we do some life updates though before we even get started?
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:31.760
Go ahead.
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:32.959
This is your podcast.
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:34.959
People want to know what happened to Precious.
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.519
I mean, of course they're asking.
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:38.159
There really are.
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:38.879
They're DMing.
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.200
DM messages coming in.
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:43.359
We both had babies.
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:45.200
Like nine months ago.
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:45.519
Well.
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:46.000
Yes.
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.079
Four and a half months apart to be exact.
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:49.280
Crazy.
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:50.640
Which is, yeah.
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:53.120
Who who orchestrated that?
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:54.959
The big man.
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:56.719
The big man.
00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:57.920
Oh.
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:03.359
So that's been really fun, but I think that's where we've both kind of been raising babies.
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:03.920
I know.
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.280
It's so weird to not have our babies with us right now.
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:07.760
Yeah.
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.080
That was the other point about today.
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:14.639
Like, let's get one hour, just me and you not at the gym, because that hasn't happened ever.
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:15.199
I know.
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:16.080
Since both of them.
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:17.120
That's crazy.
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:18.000
So here we are.
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:19.439
Let's crack our bubblers.
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.199
Oh my gosh, praise God.
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:21.680
Okay.
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:23.039
Do you hear that?
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.919
Are you doing the that's too light blue?
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:27.039
Tropical dreamer.
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.360
Educate them what it what your pink one is called.
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.039
Twisted elixir.
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:31.759
Am I saying that right?
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:32.400
Elixir?
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:33.199
Elixir.
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:34.159
The raspberry lime.
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:36.000
It kind of does.
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:36.719
Are you ready?
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:37.199
It's not.
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:37.680
Oh wait.
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.479
Oh, I'm Wow.
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.719
That was a good hey, Bubbler.
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:46.000
Can you sponsor us?
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:47.039
It's about time.
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:47.520
Please.
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:48.879
Cup of Joy podcast.
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:49.840
We've been through.
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:50.719
We've been through it.
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:52.560
We've been through your wedding with the Bubblers.
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:53.199
Oh my word.
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:54.800
It's our bachelorette party.
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:56.800
The bubblers were stocked in the free.
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:02.000
We had an entire photo shoot with Bubbler there.
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:02.719
Present.
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:04.719
Road trips.
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:06.240
Part of the batch party.
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:06.800
You remember that?
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:08.639
Now I can move forward.
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:10.080
Yes, life updates.
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:11.120
We both have babies.
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:16.719
If you haven't listened last episode, it's on motherhood, and I really encourage you to go back and listen to that.
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:23.840
But um, yeah, we're kind of I feel like you're more in the postpartum part being four and a half months out.
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:24.319
Right.
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.000
I'm still figuring out life.
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.280
What is the best and worst part of this time?
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.400
Just wow, figuring out how your old life fits with your new life.
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.479
Is that the best part or is that the worst part?
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:37.680
That's the hardest part.
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:40.400
So true.
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:45.919
But the best part is getting to bring your baby to do all the things that you love to do.
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:52.159
For example, for me, it's like church, and he already loves like the music at church, and everyone there loves him.
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:58.719
And so it's like, I'm so happy that one of the most important parts of my life, I can still bring him and make him a part of that.
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:00.159
That's so good.
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:10.159
And the hardest part just being like having to say no to the things that it's just not gonna work anymore because you can't like always be on call.
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.879
You can't just hop in your car and just head to the party.
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:16.800
You literally, I was already 30 minutes behind just me.
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:17.920
And I have a baby.
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.120
So you're just like, I actually can't come at all.
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:22.480
I don't know what I'm doing.
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:30.240
I every single day, as soon as I click that car seat into the car and look at Juniper, I'm like, girl, we're 45 minutes late.
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:31.519
Should we even show up?
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.279
But we are, and we're just running around.
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:39.839
I'm like, I just have to say no to like you should be saying no to more things, and that's hard for both of us.
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:41.199
It's so hard.
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.120
But we're figuring it out.
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:43.759
I know.
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.720
Any other life updates besides baby?
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:48.319
Babies?
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.079
They're besties, they don't know it.
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:50.720
Oh, yeah.
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:51.439
They actually do.
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.800
Juniper loves Levi, and that's super cute.
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:55.519
It's really cute.
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:57.920
Levi's just figuring out life still.
00:04:58.079 --> 00:04:59.920
So who is this lady?
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:00.560
Yep.
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.959
Why is she here half the time?
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.120
And not the other half.
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:05.759
Oh.
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:14.480
So you could go into kind of this morning, our conversation, how we got here, and then I was like, let's make a podcast on that.
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:22.160
No, literally, I because I I think I was having this revelation sharing it with you, and you're like, that could be a podcast episode title.
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:23.519
I'm like, yes, it could.
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:31.040
And so now that's the podcast title because I truly feel like you need to hear what we are about to talk about.
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:46.319
It's just enriched with so much peace and confidence in who our creator is and trusting in him and just the joy of what it looks like to surrender.
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:52.639
I think part of surrender comes with action and like what does that action look like?
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:53.199
Yeah.
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.040
Um, and even if it's just like mentally.
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:05.920
And the the power behind our words and our thoughts.
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.639
And what is the scripture?
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:09.439
Where is it?
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:15.439
Um, precious, you can help me, on the power of the tongue, speaking life or death.
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:16.319
Is that in proverb?
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:17.360
We're gonna go to Google.
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:18.240
I love that.
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:19.920
It's actually in Proverbs.
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:21.120
Doesn't that sound like a proverb?
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:22.480
That is a proverb.
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:28.160
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and that love it shall eat the fruit of therefore.
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:29.199
KJV.
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:29.759
Anyways.
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.000
What what translation was that?
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.040
I don't know if that's what I was thinking of.
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:44.639
Well, one thing that I was telling you was like, I love the verse that says, take every thought captive, and I've really been seeing you like grow into that.
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:53.439
Where before you would share a bunch of thoughts, and I'm like, this is like anxiety speaking, and you're wrestling with it out loud because that's who you are.
00:06:54.160 --> 00:07:04.480
But I've seen you more so be like, no, like I'm confident that God will just like work through it, even if it, even if I chose the wrong choice, like God will work through it.
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.160
Even if this looks rocky now, like God will work it out.
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:12.240
So that's kind of I think where this whole revelation like is built up from.
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:17.040
And I want to say, because Precious asked me, she's like, where did this, where did this thought come from?
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:21.759
Expecting me to say, like, this was a Holy Spirit, this was a Holy Spirit moment.
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:33.279
Uh, a client shared this with me, but I do believe that the Holy Spirit brought that saying um back to the front of my mind during a time of wrestling.
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:40.240
And I, if you're not a journaler and you're listening to this, I truly encourage that.
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:41.680
Precious you me.
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:42.480
She's talking to me.
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:47.519
Yeah, you're you've gotten into voice memos, maybe sometimes.
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:52.879
Well, I write music too, and I think that's a little bit of like part of like part of journaling.
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.160
So if yes, just encouraging.
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.079
I'm a big, big journaler.
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:09.839
I journal every morning, night, like just anytime I can to help get my thoughts on paper and just to just to kind of sort through what's truth and what's a lie.
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:17.920
And we have a really big decision coming up with a rental property and just like a financial, um, I don't know.
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.399
It's I don't even know how to share it.
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.079
It's just it's a decision.
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:23.519
It's a decision, either way.
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:24.480
Financial decision.
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:25.519
Neither is wrong.
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:26.240
Yes.
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.279
And so it's just like based off the like you said, neither it's not a wrong or right.
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:36.159
It's just what is like what's the best situation, and the outcome is unknown.
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:41.919
And that's like the scariest part is we could, you know, make this decision.
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.080
I'm gonna keep we're just gonna say it.
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:48.720
It's uh deed for contract, contract for deed, or like a traditional sale.
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:50.720
And it's really not, it's so boring.
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:57.759
I'm not gonna even go into details, but there's pros and cons to both options, to both choices.
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:02.159
And Tyler and I don't know which option to choose.
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:10.000
And so I just wrote down my initial thought or like my feelings based off of each choice.
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:22.320
And when I wrote down the deed for contract, it came with just like a lot of fear and just burden of like what the next seven to ten years will look like that we still have this like tie.
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:23.279
We still own it.
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.759
We still someone else is like managing it.
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:27.600
It's like two loans happening.
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.240
They're paying us and the bank.
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:48.960
And my big thing in this season is like I've just been feeling the weight of like being a slave to the lender, and it's mostly on my car, and I just like have been hyper fixating on it, and that's again something practicing every the thing about surrender is that it can creep back in.
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:53.039
Yeah, we have this envelope in our hallway, precious.
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:57.279
You've seen the envelope on the fridge, and now it's in the hallway, but it says Jesus.
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.360
And it's just, and I might have I have talked about this before, but it bears repeating.
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:07.840
It's a practical, physical way of surrendering to God, writing it down and putting in the envelope.
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.919
You want to talk about it, you have to take it out of God's hands.
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:18.960
You have to go back into the envelope and physically pull it out of the envelope and and take it out of his hands, and that's not something I want to do.
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:33.039
So surrendering is a daily thing where it's like if I'm if I'm starting to get anxious or starting to question or starting to figure out my plans of how the best way this is gonna work, I'm taking it out of the envelope.
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:34.799
And I've been doing this a lot.
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:53.440
So with this particular situation, and I wrote down contract for deed, and it came with feelings of anxiety and of like overthinking, and of again feeling that tie to that burden.
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:59.840
And then when I wrote down the traditional sale, I put a little arrow.
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.200
Oh my god, like what do you say about this?
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:05.360
What if it all works out?
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:21.200
And it was birth from a client speaking to me, but if it was Holy Spirit bringing that back, and I just love how, and that's the same way we need to remember with God's word is that God speaks to us through his word.
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:29.440
But that can apply to like so many areas in life of like not saying yes to fear, but saying yes to faith.
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:30.000
Amen.
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:42.720
And that's kind of like what I thought a lot of people could take away from this because um I just feel like it takes the same amount of energy to either worry about something or put your faith in something, right?
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:44.639
Because it's like the same concept.
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:49.679
Yeah, you don't know the end result, but you're believing in one thing or the other.
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:58.159
So it's like you're either believing, like, oh, this could crash and burn and end terribly and whatever, or you're believing for the best.
00:11:58.320 --> 00:11:59.360
This could work out.
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:08.080
Like, I so one thing in my life right now is like I have a congenital heart issue that has been brought to light through pregnancy.
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:18.639
And so for me, in in my life, what this looks like right now is I could either be so fearful and so focused on um, they say I need surgery.
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:27.519
So, like, what if the surgery doesn't work out, or what if this, or what if my heart like gives out, or what if the surgery doesn't go well and I code on the table.
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:31.360
But so many people have been speaking over me, and I I believe this for myself.
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.360
Like, let's talk about faith.
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:43.279
Let's talk about what if God heals me instead, and what if that's the end result rather than all the other bad things that I could be ruminating about, you know?
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:48.480
So for me, that's what practically what this what if it works out in my life looks like right now.
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:53.840
Just growing up, and what I've observed is everyone goes to worst case scenario.
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.639
Is that like a fight or flight response?
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:03.039
Or like why do we naturally choose to just like prepare for the worst?
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:08.559
That's such a good point, and then focus on that and almost like get ready for the worst.
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:09.279
Right.
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:18.480
I mean, the enemy's voice just being loud is probably what it is, and not wanting us to believe in faith and it's almost God.
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:27.200
I wonder too, if like the other thing that comes to mind is like self-protection versus like allowing like Holy Spirit protection.
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.559
So one of the scriptures that comes to mind is Hebrews 11:1.
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.279
Now, faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:38.639
So, like I said, things that we don't know are gonna happen.
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:40.159
We just have faith in God.
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:43.200
And that also takes like meditating in prayer, right?
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:45.440
Like, what is he speaking over you?
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.639
Is he gonna prepare you for challenges?
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:57.360
He will, he'll prepare you in prayer, or he'll continue to speak like confidence over you that that things are gonna work out, you know.
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.720
Like he's not just gonna leave you questioning, he'll help prepare your heart.
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:01.600
That's so good.
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.000
Okay, I actually can I steal your phone for a second.
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:20.480
We did a Bible study the other night with some friends, and we were reading in the book of the Gospel of John, and we were in chapter 16, and the very last verse, 33, says, I have told you these things so that in me you have peace.
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:26.879
In this world, you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world.
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:28.000
That's good.
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:44.159
The beauty in that is that as a Christian, we're not accepting Jesus into our life to have a life of just peace and ease, and it is, I mean, having peace is we have to die to our flesh.
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:45.279
Like, what does that look like?
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:50.559
We are in constant spiritual battle because this is not our world.
00:14:51.200 --> 00:15:32.399
And I love in these three sentences, he is talking to his disciples before he's sharing this part, and he's sharing about the Holy Spirit and like the gift of asking things in his name, and he's sharing this for us to have peace, but then he's reminding us that in that this world you will have trials and tribulations that is in God's word, and in the NLT version, it says many trials, many, and the only thing that he's asking us in all of this, but take heart.
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:35.039
I have overcome the world.
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:41.840
Like rema remember what I say, like be still, know that I am God.
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:54.879
So then I also think of the verse in Philippians 4, 6 through 8 that says, Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your request to God.
00:15:55.759 --> 00:16:01.600
And then the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:08.000
So again, he's like not saying that we're never gonna worry, that we're never gonna go through things that are hard.
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:11.840
He's saying, like, when these things happen, run to prayer.
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:12.320
Amen.
00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:30.720
Remember who your God is, and then peace will flood over you that surpasses human understanding, human logic, and explanation and financial uh explanation, like things that you don't even think are possible will just happen because that's who he is.
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:32.159
He's a God that makes a way.
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:42.639
But if we're not looking for him to provide, if we're not looking for him to trust, we'll miss the peace, we'll miss the provision because we're not looking for it from our Heavenly Father.
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:53.360
We'll just think it looks a certain way, like money in your bank account, rather than like people showing up for you and like praying for you and being that support.
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:56.559
You'll think, well, I'm broke, so I don't have anything.
00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:00.000
It's like actually, God is providing a lot for you.
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:05.039
You just have to open your spiritual eyes and see where those blessings are.
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:06.000
It's so good.
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:10.000
That's just one area I've been reminded of recently.
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:20.559
Like postpartum, you know, like you can't work, you're stuck at home, but like people are a blessing to you through the Holy Spirit, like prompting them to show up for you.
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:27.359
It's like you you're in a position where you get to really see God move.
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:28.720
Yeah, see his hand.
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:31.680
Because it's not the money that's gonna save you, right?
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:34.640
Or your hustle, you're like so vulnerable.
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:40.160
Yeah, it's truly like it's all the Lord in doing that.
00:17:40.240 --> 00:18:30.319
And I just love you touching on peace that surpasses all like worldly or human knowledge or understanding, because I just think of the times in prayer where, or even when people have responded to me in prayer where I'm in this venting session and just like so overwhelmed, and like we talked about earlier, I do process out loud, and so I see the difference of like processing to processing out loud to somebody who does not walk with the Lord, and their response is like feeding into it to validate me and to in the in what they're trying to do is just like not reassure, but just like really validate my feelings.
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:31.279
Like you're so right.
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:34.400
But if I'm so right, that's not gonna add any more peace.
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:36.079
I'm like, No, you're right.
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:36.960
I'm so right.
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:38.960
Like this is I'm doomed.
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:53.920
But then talking to somebody with their spiritual eyes open who has seen God's hand in their life and experienced God's faithfulness, yes, his faithfulness, they don't have to say anything.
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:58.160
All they have to respond and say is, is it okay if I if I pray over you?
00:18:58.559 --> 00:18:59.519
Like that's a lot.
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:03.920
And it's like this act of like, there is nothing that I can say that's gonna fix this.
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:15.839
Like there is nothing that I can say that's going to like that's a lot, but I do know a God that I serve that's so much bigger, and I've seen prayers answer, and I'm gonna respond in that.
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:22.319
On the other side of that prayer is so much peace because it's a reminder, right?
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:24.640
And take heart.
00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:25.279
Yeah.
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.200
For I've overcome the world.
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:31.440
Like we like Jesus has victory.
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:36.400
Can you share the podcast that you were listening to about the oh yeah.
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:46.240
So this pastor was saying like how he preaches on Sunday, so he can't watch the football games or the basketball games, whatever that he likes to, so he records them.
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:51.039
Um, and he's like, none of y'all are my friends if you tell me what happens.
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.200
If you tell me the score before I get home and watch the game.
00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:01.440
And he had a friend one week, you know, just text him like, Wow, what a comeback.
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:05.920
So he knew before watching the game that his team won.
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:09.920
But watching the game, um, it looked awful for his team.
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.160
Like they were down, I think it was basketball.
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:13.680
I think they were down like 41.
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:16.000
That's definitely basketball, something.
00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:16.640
I don't know.
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:17.519
It was a lot.
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:24.079
And he said later on he looked up the chances of them at winning the game, and it was like 2.5% chance.
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:28.640
So normally you would just stop watching the game because you're just so frustrated.
00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:35.599
But he kept watching the game because he said he had hope in the text that he received.
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:37.599
And then he like held up his Bible.
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:43.519
He's like, I have hope in this text that God says we have the victory in the end.
00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:46.079
He holds all authority, he's on the throne.
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:50.079
And so I just took that like with me because it's so true.
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:54.240
Like, we can see with our physical eyes, for example, my illness.
00:20:54.400 --> 00:21:00.000
I can see with my physical eyes things that aren't working out, but I know that my God cares.
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.480
I know that my God loves me, I know that he will provide.
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:10.319
I know that even if I don't see victory on this side of eternity, I am complete on the other side of eternity.
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:18.319
So I can have hope in that and hope in the word of God that I know that in the end we win, sort of to say.
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:19.839
That's so good.
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:21.680
Yeah, that's really powerful.
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:22.880
What if it works out?
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.680
What if we already know that we have the victory?
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:27.440
Like what changes how we live.
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:29.039
Yeah, all gonna work out.
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:36.480
And I thought about that even with this rental situation, that's way different than like a heart condition, a health, like a health concern.
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:42.559
And in this, I'm just like when I'm in heaven, like this is not gonna matter.
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:58.720
I'm not gonna like I just like it's not worth complaining about, it's not worth stressing about, it's not worth trying to because in both situations, I for the timing of it, it all has to align.
00:21:58.799 --> 00:21:59.680
Like, there is a lot of movement.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:09.039
Parts because there's other people's lives that are involved, and I care about those people's situations more than like my financial situation.
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:14.640
Like I want to make sure they are taken care of, and it's going to affect me financially, but then it affects my family.
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:19.440
So I have to like put all these different, you know, pockets of things into play.
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:21.119
But I'm like, but God knows.
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:23.839
Like he cares about those people way more than I do.
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:24.400
Right.
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:33.759
And so it's like instead of looking at it like, oh my gosh, I'm so stressed or I'm so nervous, or like with your heart condition, like you're just choosing.
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:42.160
Like I see you, I see you choose so much trust that I forget that you even have a heart condition.
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:48.079
I mean, praise God, it helps that I don't feel any physical symptoms from it.
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:50.240
So I'm so grateful for that.
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:53.200
But yeah, I mean, I my heart is bad.
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:54.400
That's all I had to say.
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:55.200
It's crazy.
00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:59.839
And it's just, and it's crazy how God's miracle does look different for each person.
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:01.839
Like my brother, with is it right?
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:07.359
Yeah, me and Amanda's brother have the same heart condition and he just had surgery.
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:12.000
So I said that he was my guinea pig to like walk through this all first.
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:12.799
Yeah.
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:19.839
But even God showed up in such a miraculous way in his surgery where he didn't have to get a mechanical valve put in.
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:22.720
The doctor just repaired his own heart.
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:23.599
That's crazy.
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:25.039
Which I think is still a miracle.
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:26.799
I mean, God uses doctors.
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:27.519
Exactly.
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:28.799
And that's like a big thing too.
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:33.519
If you're listening to this, like we are not anti-doctors, precious as a nurse.
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:35.680
Like, we we love we love medicine.
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:45.279
God has used people, but just praying over the hands of those in surgery, God's like those prayers came to fruition.
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:58.000
And like David is having an incredible recovery, and God has provided through community with um the GoFundMe that Precious Created and food that was prepared.
00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:01.279
And so just seeing the other side of that has been really beautiful.
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:07.680
And just in their marriage, the tenderness of David Amata and the closeness of her just taking care of him.
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:13.599
It's really again like in what the enemy meant for evil, yes, God turns to good.
00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:14.079
Amen.
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:19.359
And just so much more than we could ever imagine or plan for.
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:21.519
And that's why we we gotta stop planning.
00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:27.119
Like we just have to stop because God's plan like way outdoes ours.
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:28.720
So we just had a hands off.
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:32.960
My husband says the only reason I make plans is so that God can laugh at them.
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:34.240
That's body.
00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:37.599
God can laugh and just change away.
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:47.279
Or even like preparing for the worst, too, I think is like what we're naturally inclined to do, but that just shows that we don't trust God very much.
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:52.799
It does isn't that what you said, they say like the where you worry the most is where you trust God the least.
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:57.680
Yes, and like anxiety, you can't have anxiety and trust at the same time.
00:24:57.920 --> 00:24:59.519
Like you can't experience it at the same time.
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:07.839
So whenever I'm whenever I'm choosing anxiety, it's like that for me, I believe is a sin.
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:11.519
It's like dishonoring because I'm not, yeah, I'm not trusting who God is.
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:19.039
It's like I gotta go back to Job and uh read when God speaks because it's so powerful.
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:20.960
Like God is God.
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:30.160
And every single day we get to wake up and see the just the beauty of his creation.
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:32.640
It's just sin, man.
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:34.799
Screeps in so easily.
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:40.799
Do you think that like your younger self would have benefited from this question?
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:48.559
Because I feel like your younger self was the workaholic, was the one that was like planning, was I don't know.
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:49.920
I didn't know Brunette Amanda.
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:52.319
That's a that's a story for another time.
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:53.200
Yes.
00:25:53.440 --> 00:26:00.160
But like, did you kind of hustle with this idea in mind that like you had to get everything figured out?
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:02.000
That's so good.
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:08.000
Um, resting with the question of like what if it all worked out?
00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:20.400
Yeah, I was so out of touch, I would say, with the idea of trusting somebody else to take care of it.
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:21.519
That's good.
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:24.960
And so I think part of it came from control.
00:26:26.480 --> 00:27:18.559
And um, I grew up in a household with very, very loving parents, and there was circumstances I think we all have grown up in our own unique childhood, but in this particular one, it was a childhood of a lot of love and also a lot of I don't want to say uncertainty, but just like inconsistency, and that in a way damaged me a little bit in some areas, and so I in order to feel consistent or in order to have that lifestyle of consistency, it took me taking the reins, like taking control, and that started with work, it started with a job, but then it turned into something bigger really fast.
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:30.319
And like I know I use like I throw around like the terms like workaholic, but like it was a very real and like raw addiction.
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:50.240
Yeah, it was a it was an addiction where I was addicted to having zero time in silence and constantly chasing after something, and I wouldn't necessarily be money because I had that, but I thought I was broke, like nothing was ever enough, right?
00:27:50.720 --> 00:28:01.920
And so it got to the point where it did like I did have um health concerns that were really um they were big, and it left me in the ER.
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:07.920
I mean, the first the first week of it, I was in the ER eight times in seven days.
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:10.640
Like it was like constant, it was like constant.
00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:13.519
The ambulance was constantly like wherever I was.
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:17.519
There's like this lady on the ground, 911.
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:22.720
I had my dad's like, stop calling the ambulance, please.
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:24.000
You've gotta stop.
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:26.240
We gotta get this girl wristband.
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:32.880
If she falls, if she faints, like do not just leave her there.
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:34.400
Call Kenny.
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:37.920
Call Kenny 507.
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:39.599
I'm not gonna finish that.
00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:45.680
Get her some salt, get her some hydration, some McDonald's French fries, do not call 911.
00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:46.559
She'll be fine.
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:49.039
She'll be fine for 30 minutes.
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:49.759
She'll be fine.
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:51.519
She'll be back at work serving the time.
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:52.720
Oh my gosh, Carl.
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:53.839
No, for real though.
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:54.480
I did.
00:28:54.559 --> 00:29:00.559
I would go to the ER and then I would like, they're like, you can't work for like the rest of the week.
00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:06.799
And you're like, I literally would crinkle it up and throw it in the garbage.
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:11.599
And I'm like, I'm like, Dad, take me to Newt's.
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:13.200
I gotta finish my shift.
00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:14.640
I'm closing tonight.
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:16.079
They're gonna be so mad.
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:18.400
And same thing with my car accident.
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:19.759
That's what I think of.
00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:20.079
Yeah.
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:22.559
In between my two jobs, I flipped my car.
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:23.839
I was in a neck brace.
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:24.880
It was a whole thing.
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:26.240
In the neck brace.
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:27.519
Take me take me.
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:32.240
No, no, literally, the the the person, the first responder was my coworker.
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:33.759
I'm like, Bailey, you get it.
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:36.079
Like, I need a ride to work now.
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:38.240
Can this thing like yeah, can you put the lights on?
00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:39.279
Can you put the lights on?
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:40.319
Because now I'm late.
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:42.000
You guys are I was already late.
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:44.079
Why do you think I was speeding?
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:49.920
So, anyway, they were like, listen, this is bad.
00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:51.680
You're not going back to work.
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:53.680
So, what if it all worked out?
00:29:53.839 --> 00:30:02.559
Yeah, you know, I would really have liked to have that spoken over me at a younger age, but I don't know if I would have listened.
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:03.759
Right, you probably would have laughed.
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:05.680
Like, yeah, well, I'm gonna go figure it out.
00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:07.200
I'm gonna go figure it out.
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:13.839
And that's again like the beauty of God being such a gentleman is he's always there, like he is waiting for you.
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:20.160
He wants that relationship with you, he wants you to speak to him and to talk to him.
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:29.200
I was not willing to do that, and then at the right time, you know, God revealed it.
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:54.000
But I yeah, so all that being said, it's just like whatever you are going through, there was so much time wasted on just anxiety and stress and overthinking and trying to figure out my own way of making all the stars align.
00:30:54.319 --> 00:31:05.519
And it just doesn't, it does not work out like that because we do need a savior, and I needed a savior when I was in that there was no one that could come and rescue me.
00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:10.079
There was no one that could come and tell me how to fix this.
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:23.200
There was no no one other than Jesus Himself getting down to my level and picking me up and saying, Child, you are my daughter and I love you and slow down.
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:25.920
You don't have to earn it or work for it.
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:27.759
I'm just here because I love you.
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:29.279
That was a crazy concept.
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:30.400
That was crazy.
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:31.359
I was like, there's no way.
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:33.519
Like I have to, I have to do something.
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:40.880
Like, and you will run yourself into the ground trying to do it on your own.
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:48.400
You it's it's a strength to ask for help, it's a strength to rely on Jesus and to be fully dependent on him.
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:54.559
And we live in a culture that pushes independence, especially for women.
00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:57.279
The like, I don't need no man.
00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:59.200
It's like, oh my word, I do.
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:00.000
I so do.
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:05.839
I need Tyler, I need Jesus, like I need my dad, I need my community, I need my friends.
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:10.799
Like, I'm not, I'm proudly dependent on Jesus.
00:32:11.119 --> 00:32:11.839
I love that.
00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:14.799
Very Burnett Amanda.
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:17.440
No, she was not.
00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:20.079
It's perfect because you're newly freshly blonde.
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:21.440
I am freshly blonde.
00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:22.480
It's great.
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:27.359
I could have really used the what if it all works out for a road trip.
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:33.920
I know I thought of when you were saying something about like the dark and like how prayer just like changes things, you know.
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:42.640
Yeah, when we were in the ah, but the roles I know we already talked about the waterfall on the podcast, but like that waterfall.
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:44.720
I was like, let's just keep going.
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:46.160
Let's just keep going.
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:46.640
No.
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:48.240
What if it's at the end of the rainbow?
00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:53.599
It would have been better to just reverse the whole way, like just get but what was at the end?
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:55.359
A beautiful rainbow and a coyote.
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:56.079
And a kite.
00:32:56.319 --> 00:32:56.880
Was it a coyote?
00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:58.079
No, it was like a wolf.
00:32:58.240 --> 00:32:58.720
It was a wolf.
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:00.319
I was like, it was prettier than a coyote.
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:02.319
It was like this beautiful wolf.
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:03.519
But did it work out?
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:04.480
Not necessarily.
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:07.920
We did make it to the waterfall, and the car is still intact.
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:08.960
Praise God.
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:10.160
Praise God.
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:11.119
Praise God.
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:13.359
Oh, what time is it?
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:14.720
We do have babies.
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:16.000
Oh, it's 1:13.
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:17.680
I told my mom one o'clock.
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:18.480
One o'clock.
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:19.839
I have to pump.
00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:21.440
You have to nurse.
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:23.359
Our time here is over.
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:28.559
Sorry, you're just gonna have to come back if you want more Amanda Precious comments.
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:29.119
I know.
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:35.920
Hey, if you want Precious to like keep showing up regularly, please message Cup of Joy.
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:37.200
What is my Instagram now?
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:38.319
Ministry.
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:41.279
It keeps changing from ministry to podcast.
00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:42.640
It's ministry.
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:43.519
It does.
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:45.359
It's just a wider anyway.
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:47.759
So cup of joy ministry.
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:49.440
And then what's your handle?
00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:50.160
Precious Grace.
00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:52.000
Underscore, Precious Grace underscore.
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:53.200
Oh, I love that.
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:58.799
Yeah, some people think my name is Grace because of that, but your preagle name is Precious.
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:03.279
That is what's your second middle name?
00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:04.000
Ellen.
00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:04.799
Ellen.
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:05.599
I forget that.
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:06.160
That's beautiful.
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:07.039
What does Ellen mean?
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:12.719
I don't know what it means, but it's a combination of my mom's middle name and my grandma's name.
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:13.119
Oh.
00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:14.639
So that's beautiful.
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:18.320
My mom gave me two middle names in case I didn't like the name Precious.
00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:20.320
I could just go by Grace.
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:21.840
That's really funny.
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:22.880
Just a backup.
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:23.920
Just in case.
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:24.639
How thoughtful.
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:25.920
Oh, I love that.
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:29.119
Would you like to wrap us up in prayer then?
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:30.480
Sure, I'd be honored.
00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:31.280
Okay.
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:33.519
Lord, we just thank you for this time.
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:37.039
We thank you for this revelation of what it looks like to trust you.
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:39.760
And just taking those thoughts captive.
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:47.760
Are we going to believe the worst or believe that you love us and you're working all things together for the good of those who love you?
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:52.000
God, we thank you that you give us what we don't deserve.
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:54.880
You're always better to us than we deserve, Lord.
00:34:55.039 --> 00:35:06.800
And so just pray that the people listening to this podcast would choose to believe in that kind of God who is kind, who is just loves his children because they're his children.
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:12.960
And um just surrender to your plans, your will, your way for them.
00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:16.079
And it's always better than we could ask, think or imagine, Lord.
00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:19.039
We just thank you that that's the kind of God we get to serve.
00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:20.719
We get to surrender to you.
00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:29.280
And so we just give you all the glory for this podcast, for this conversation, for this time together, and um everything good to come from it.
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:30.559
So, Jesus, we love you.
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:31.119
We thank you.
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:31.599
Amen.
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:32.239
Amen.
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:33.280
Oh, so beautiful.
00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:33.760
Thank you.
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:37.119
Well, thanks for taking, thanks for making this happen.
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:38.159
This anytime.
00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:39.039
This was you.
00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:40.079
This is all precious.
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:43.199
She's my accountability partner in everything in life.
00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:44.320
The yapping partner.
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:45.519
The yapping partner.
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:47.679
She's just Bubbler.
00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:50.400
Bubbler Bestie.
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:53.039
That's what your new name in my phone's gonna be.
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:54.800
Okay, should we take one more sip?
00:35:55.119 --> 00:35:55.599
Cheers.
00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:56.159
Cheers.
00:35:56.639 --> 00:35:57.440
It all works out.
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:02.320
What if Bubbler someday actually does sponsor this?
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:03.119
Oh my gosh.
00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:04.800
I would cry.
00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:07.440
Can someone send this to Bubbler?
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:10.239
Does anyone like have any connections?
00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:11.519
Please.
00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:13.280
I've called Bubbler before.
00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:15.760
They never call me back.
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:18.159
I'm gonna keep knocking until that door's open.
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:18.880
Amen.
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:22.239
Okay, well, on that note, love you guys.
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:23.360
Talk to you next time.
00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:24.800
Talk to you next time.
00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:25.360
Okay.
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:26.719
Bye.
