Hey there, everybody. Welcome out to another
episode of Redeemed Through His Blood. This is
Scott Durfey. And as always, I'm joined by the
beautiful Princess Debra Durfey. Good grief.
Every week I get a title. I love it. It was Princess
last week, too, I think, actually. So you should
be getting used to that one by now, I would think.
Yeah. Nobody else is probably getting sick of
it. No, I don't think so. Those who know you
agree, those who don't will just have to take
my word for it. And if they listen to you long
enough, they'll agree, too. Oh, goodness. Hey,
it's good to be home, I guess. Right. We just
got back from a just yesterday. We flew home
from Miami. We spent a few days in the Caribbean.
Seven, to be exact. But who's counting in the
beautiful sunshine and the turquoise waters?
Sure was, too. So lovely, beautiful and warm.
Sometimes it's a little bit difficult to return.
Yes. To come home. Absolutely. To come back and
face our reality. Our reality. Yeah. I don't
think I could be, I could function or live in
the Caribbean. I think I would just constantly
just relax in the sun and enjoy that beautiful
water. I'd like to give it a try. Yeah, I'd have
to take all my kids. Yeah, that's true. That
alone keeps me here. And that's reason enough.
The other thing is, too, is we both said when
we came home, when we're driving up and we see
the beautiful mountains, you know, just to the
east of us here, right, right out our front door.
You know, we both said. It's awesome to be in
a beautiful area like we were but there's no
place like home so true, right? So true. Yeah,
it's it's just good to sometimes be home, you
know to get our feet back under us and face reality
and even though sometimes we don't We don't want
to face reality. We don't want the responsibilities
that come with reality You know, I think that
those are also a gift or can be as well. So Yeah,
it was lovely. Yeah. Hey, last episode that came
out was the one that we did on step two with
Crystal and Nick. Love them. Yeah, it was great
too. Apparently, we've had a lot of response,
a lot of emails. You can email us, by the way.
He redeems us at gmail .com. Some emails and
various things like that, calls, people that
we know. So it sounds like that we're gonna do
step three next month in March because March
is the third month step three We're gonna kind
of keep them correlated that way and how perfect
is that it's it's all in divine order Yeah, we're
excited about doing that more today. We're gonna
shift gears just a little bit You know, we you
know, we we spend a lot of time really talking
about the doctrine behind repentance and we and
we include all of the the important, you know
again doctrinal points Etc and sometimes, you
know We just need to take a little bit of a pause,
I think, and look to see maybe where we're seeing
these things in our own life outside of all the
chaos. I did get an email, speaking of emails,
and again, we appreciate those. I did get an
email from somebody recently. I'm not going to
get into a lot of detail because there's some
kind of sensitive stuff in this one. But but
the situation is such where a family could be
It's the the family structure is actually in
terrible Jeopardy there's an individual the husband
and father who's really struggling to fill our
Heavenly Father spirit in light of a split up
and just just a lot of chaos You know, and I'm
getting one letter I don't I don't know the the
wife story and all of those things and it's not
really important that I do because Heavenly Father
and through his son that he loves us all Right.
And he's going to as we approach him and sometimes
even before we even notice it, sometimes he gets
busy being in our lives. Sometimes we won't notice
it. You know, I got an email today from again,
as I mentioned from this gentleman and he is
finding Deb, you can't believe what's what this
guy's going through. And it's it's about as bad
as you can imagine. But but he for some reason
has been able to grasp. The concept of having
a relationship with Heavenly Father through Heavenly
Father, Son Jesus, administrated by the Holy
Ghost so that he can, in his time of trial, fill
the ministering of angels and the ministering
of the blessings, the enabling and the compensatory
and the redeeming blessings that come from Christ's
atonement in his life. I think that, you know,
this really speaks loud words around, you know,
maybe something that sometimes I don't really
remember to consider. And that is this, you know,
it's easy to see. Heavenly Father it's easy to
see the effects of his son when there are big
loud miracles, right? You know when when I see
the Red Sea parted in my own life. Oh, yeah,
that's easy to see you know Or when I see you
know any of those you know the blind to see You
know so to speak metaphorically speaking of course
you know and when I see those miracles It's pretty
easy But sometimes you know that life doesn't
happen like that Life doesn't happen in big moments.
You know, we don't have a series of big moments
in Call That Life. What we have is a series of...
hopefully, you know, more quiet moments, etc.
And then we move into on occasion these big chaotic
or these big dramatic or these big magnificent
events and experiences. But those are typically
the exception rather than the rule. Yeah, the
rule is typically just, you know, typical Tuesday
afternoon life. Yeah. Yeah, you know what I mean?
Yeah, just and so the question becomes when I
don't have these big events happening in my life
that drive me or draw me to him How do I see
him? Where is he in the quietness? Where is he
in the quiet moments? And how do I begin to recognize
and see him in those moments? Does that make
sense? Yes, it makes 100 % sense. And I think
it reminds me of that scripture in Alma 37, 6
and 7. I'll never forget this. My niece Hannah.
at her farewell for her mission. She got up and
talked about this. Like this was years ago that
she had a farewell, but I remember her sharing
this scripture and talking about small and simple
things, great things come about. And it's again
in Alma 37 verses six and seven. And I'm going
to go ahead and read that and then I'm going
to talk about it. Now we may suppose that this
is foolish in me, but behold, I say unto you,
that by small and simple things are great things
brought to pass and small means in many instances
doth confound the wise and the Lord God doth
doth work by means to bring about his great and
eternal purposes and by very small means the
Lord doth doth confound the wise and bringeth
about the salvation of many souls I love that
I love this simplicity of that, that it's small,
still a small voice, small actions, small. I
mean, and it also reminds me this morning, um,
when I was doing my scripture study and I was
reading about Abraham and his chaotic household
that he was raised in and then how he followed
the Lord. And I just thought, who can relate
with chaotic households? Anyways, um, and you
know, when I was done, I began to pray and I
just wept. And I just haven't said, Heavenly
Father, I know you're there. I feel you. I don't
know if it was the week away from the chaos that
brought me back to that, but I'm like, I feel
you. You're here. And I had this, I had an appointment
at the dentist this morning. eight o 'clock this
morning. And when I walked in, the entire staff
was sitting in the, in the entrance. And I walked
in and they all looked at me and they're like,
well, good morning. And, and one of the assistants
said, you know, the dentist said, who gets to
work on Deb? And I said, who got the shortest
straw? Anyways, this cute little gal, Melissa,
she says, it is so good to finally meet you.
And I thought, Oh yeah, it's nice to meet you
too. And then she started to talk about how she
has met you a couple of times and how she listens
to the podcast. And we had the sweetest conversation
about how the atonement of Jesus Christ works
in our lives. And you know, I wasn't expecting
that. I wasn't expecting, I was going to get
my teeth cleaned at x -rayed and this sweet,
um, Melissa, she just, she just kept talking
about how impactful it is. And then she shared
some of her own story of how, you know, she's
had to rely on the atonement of Jesus Christ.
And I just think, you know what? We all carry
heavy burdens. We all have things going on in
our lives that if we For me, I have to pause
and have the eyes to see the small and simple
things. And I was so abundantly blessed this
morning. And the first time I met her, I mean,
it's the very first time I met her, when we're
getting ready to leave, I just hugged her and
I said, I love you. It was just immediate. But
I just thought, what a gift. Thank you, Heavenly
Father, for sending her, allowing her of all
of that entire staff. It was just a tender, tender,
sweet moment. And she was testifying to me. She
gave me chills. I just, it was so sweet. Just
a small everyday go to the dentist appointment.
Yeah. So cool. Yeah. Small and simple things.
Yeah. I love in that scripture that you read,
you know, in verse six, it calls it small and
simple things. And then in verse seven, it says
very small, simple things, right? I mean, and
I think that that's intentional. I think that
it's like, I think the message that we are trying,
that the Spirit is trying to convey to us there
is, guys, it doesn't have to be fireworks. It's
just little moments, little... tender mercies,
we call them sometimes, you know. And very small
is doable. You know, when it, when he talks about,
cause sometimes I think I feel like I need to
be doing more. I need to be more productive and
more minister more and serve more. And you know,
I think sometimes I forget that it is the small
and simple things saying a prayer for someone
that's struggling, putting a name in the temple.
You know, a smile, you know, and passing a stranger.
Just finding compassion. Yes. And I think it
reminds me in this, we may get derailed on this
one, but it just, I was listening to a podcast
just recently and they talked about how in the
end, all of our sins will be exposed on this
big reel or whatever. Anyways, and they said,
you know, our sin is our fallen state. It's not
necessarily the bad things we've done, but, and
I think if we could see into everybody's life
and see their fallen, the challenges and the
trials that they have endured in this lifetime,
we all would have more compassion. We would all
have a more open heart. And I'm so sorry that
you've endured that, but you don't know. Well,
and you said if we could see others that way,
what if we could see ourselves that way? What
if we could see our own challenges, big and small?
Because sometimes I have little challenges that
just gnaw at me. They're just constantly banging
on me, just small little challenges sometimes.
And then sometimes we have big challenges. But
I think it's in any challenge. It's in anything,
you know. And again, you say it's that fallen
state. I think that's where I see my small challenges.
I see my big ones there, too. But my small ones
can get sneaky on me, right? They can just come
in and I can be just kind of floating along in
life. And then at some point just realize, man,
there's something off. You know, I feel a little
bit off. And sometimes when I say I feel a little
bit off, it's because I haven't noticed, you
know, we get an opportunity, babe, to have big
manifestations of the spirit. Well, you know,
we get them constantly when we're doing this.
You know, it's not infrequent that in this little
tiny room here in our house where we do this
podcast. that we get flooded with the spirit
when we're doing this conveying to us the truth
of the things that we're talking about. And I
know that he conveys the truth of the things
that we're talking about to our listeners as
well. Then we go to Institute and we get to have
big experiences there. I got a text from somebody
just this past week who is a licensed clinical
social worker who sent somebody to our Institute
class. And the response from the person they
sent to the Institute class was the spirit was
palatable. I could just feel the spirit. I'll
definitely and so we you and I get an opportunity
to have Experiences like that on a semi -frequent
basis, you know what I find effort. Oh, yeah.
I mean we oh, yeah Yeah, yeah effort and work
and all that maybe means the same thing, but
it's definitely there But it's so it's sometimes
easy for me when it gets a little quieter and
I'm not feeling those big I'll call them firework
type of experiences. It's easy sometimes for
me then to misinterpret the quietness as a separation
of the spirit. Does that make sense to you? Yes,
yeah. Yeah, and I could see that. Yeah, I get
it. So, you know, I don't know if this is an
appropriate association or not, but, you know,
I'm a recovering alcoholic and a drug addict.
You know, I want big experiences. God knows that
though, and he's gonna teach you how to look
for the small and simple things. It's difficult.
You said that out loud. I know, I know. And that's
maybe part of my step 10 right there for sure.
So sometimes when it gets quiet and when it gets,
things don't seem like they're big and fireworkish
and all those kinds of things, maybe I feel inappropriately.
But nonetheless, I feel a little bit disconnected
and I'm wrong in that. And I've been I've been
thinking about that since yesterday. I've been
thinking a lot about that because we did come
through a real quiet time. We were absent from
our institute class. I didn't teach gospel doctrine
this past Sunday and I was it was my turn to
teach. And so, you know, I've had these things
that keep me intact or in touch. And they've
kind of been absent. So I've been thinking about
over the last couple of days, Scott, where do
you see him? Where does he show up? And Deb,
it's amazing to me when I do that inventory how
much he shows up, maybe even more in the quiet
moments in my life. Yeah. It just we have to
and I think that again and I bring this up all
the time is that it's that be still Right be
still and know that I am God right and I in this
busy loud world. That's getting harder Yeah,
and for some of us being still has been extremely
uncomfortable in the past. For sure. And this
is where I feel, you know, you had that experience
with our sweet friend at the dentist office this
morning. You know, I would even see that as,
you know, a pretty good experience. But for me,
over the last week or so, I've had an opportunity
to reflect on the quietness and to find peace
in the quietness. That's a miracle for me. Yeah,
that is. That's a huge miracle for me. Even in
recovery, it's been difficult for me to be still
and to find. the spirit in the stillness, you
know, but which, which in the past has given
me a lot of anxiety. It's given me, I've been
defensive. I've been, you know, whatever. And
when I find myself lately and Nick, you know,
I, I reserve the right to make mistakes around
this. I'm just saying that so you don't hold
me accountable a hundred percent of the time
for it. But welcome to the carnal world. Right.
But, but the point is, is that I'm filling him.
You know, I'm not getting agitated. That's a
big deal for me. I mean, the lack of agitation,
I'm looking for miracles to receive stuff. But
when he takes stuff away from me, maybe it's
not as noticeable unless I make effort to notice
it. But I don't get agitated as much as I used
to. I'm not perfect at it, but I don't make awareness.
I don't I don't get angry. I don't feel like
somebody's taken advantage of me, for example,
if they cut me off in traffic anymore. You know,
it's been a long time since I've wanted to pull
somebody over and fight him. Honestly, I mean,
I'm just I'm just being transparent. I know it's
been a long time. It's been a long time. Now,
when I say a long time, it hasn't been years
and years, but it's been months. That's progress.
Right? Progress, not perfection. Yeah, so, you
know, and this reminds me, Deb, you know, you
brought up that scripture from Alma. There's
one in the Doctrine and Covenants. It's in Doctrine
and Covenants, section 84, and it's verse 88.
And this one also, the one you read, and this
one, and there are a few others. But this one
also really helps me, I think, kind of keep it
in perspective. And it says, and whoso receiveeth
you, there I will go also, for I will go before
your face. I'll be on your right hand and I'll...
be on your left and my spirit shall be in your
hearts and my angels round about you to bear
you up and my angels round about you to bear
you up sometimes he's just there when it's quiet
yeah yeah he's present before we even notice
him wow wow yeah he's present before we even
notice he's there sometimes I wonder how many
of us are missing that. Well, I'm definitely
guilty. And when I say us, I mean me. Yeah. I
know I have been and still sometimes do. And
this may be something that is important for me
to continually be aware of. Work with coming
to me in every thought Right. Yeah, right. Yeah,
you know David's in his last email. He started
I may have already mentioned this but he's put
when he when he signs off and they're doing wonderful
work in Australia, by the way I don't mean to
get sidetracked here, but at the end of his letters
he puts now Lth David and I asked him what that
man is look to him Look to him. I like LTH. LTH.
Look to him. And that's really it, you know?
The question though is, Deb, why do we miss it?
Why do we miss feeling that when it's quiet?
Well, we're in a world where we have instant
gratification, instant knowledge, instant food,
instant whatever we want, we get it immediately.
And I think we forget that we are spiritual beings
having a mortal experience instantly. And God's
timing is not the earth's timing. And I think
it's, it's important for me to remember that
stillness and calmness and peacefulness is of
God. It's, you know, I think oftentimes when
we are, when we stop in, in the world or we're,
you know, we, we're not productive or we're not
getting things done or we're, you know, we, we
put judgment on it and it's interesting. to give
myself permission to go, it's okay to be still.
I need that connection. I need that prayer and
meditation to be still and hear Him. I love that
we're learning from the Old Testament, the Hebrew
Bible this year. And I love that there's so many
ways to find Jesus Christ in the Old Testament.
There's a particular person who I love. His name
is John Hilton III. And if you haven't, I'm promoting
him and he has a podcast and he's a religion
professor at BYU. He's just an amazing, an amazing
man. His sweetheart, his sweet daughter was in
our Institute class a couple of years ago and
just absolutely love this guy. But the thing
that he's helping me to learn better, Deb, is
how to find Jesus Christ in the Old Testament.
John says it's on every Jesus is on every page
of the Old Testament I've really tried to make
that kind of my my focus as I'm teaching the
Old Testament in gospel doctrine as well But
this is one of those examples of where we find
Jesus even in the Old Testament and sometimes
especially in the Old Testament This is in first
Kings and it's in chapter 19 and it's gonna start
in verse 11 I think I'll read verses 11 and 12
and He said go forth and stand upon the mount
before the Lord and behold The Lord passed by
and great and strong wind rent the mountains
and break it in pieces and the rocks before the
Lord. But the Lord was not in the wind. The Lord
was not in the wind. Did you hear that? Interesting,
huh? And after the wind an earthquake. But the
Lord was not in the earthquake. Interesting.
I what I think about this is just interesting
it but and then verse 12 and then after the earthquake
a fire but the Lord was not in the fire and after
the fire a still small voice Wow There you go.
Where are we looking for him? Yeah. The thunder
and the fire and the wind. And again, when I
say, where are we looking for him? I mean, where
am I looking for him? I need this reminder. Yeah.
I just need this reminder that sometimes it's
just in the still small voice. Yeah. So true.
Sometimes it's just really easy for us to overlook.
the blessing of steadiness. We want intensity,
you know. but he gives us constancy instead of,
and sometimes intensity too, but he gives us
constancy. I love this quote. This is from Elder
Bednar. This is from April 2011 general conference.
The title of the talk is The Spirit of Revelation.
Love this talk. Most frequently, revelation comes
in small increments over time and is granted
according to our desire, worthiness and preparation.
Such communications from Heavenly Father gradually
and gently distill upon our souls. Interesting
choice of wording there. Interesting choice,
right? Yeah. What does it mean by distill upon
our souls? Yeah, that's a great question. I actually
had that, we talked about that. It's not like
I had that question independent. I don't want
to pretend like we did, but you know, I had to
look it up. Gradually and gently distill. I had
to look that word up. Distillation is a slow
purification process. This is not an explosion,
okay? It's not detonation, it's distillation.
Okay, so it's a slow purification process. It's
not a lightning bolt. It's heat applied over
time, vapor rising, condensation forming, and
what you're left with is something clearer and
more refined. You know, I love what Elder Bednar
said where he says, revelation gradually and
gently distills upon our soul. That means most
of the time Jesus isn't downloading truth to
us in dramatic moments, right? We're not plugging
in a USB and then all of a sudden we're getting
this download or something. He's refining us
quietly. Just quietly. In the stillness and the
small and simple things. Over time. Layer by
layer. Sometimes we don't even realize we're
changing until we look back and see that we're
not who we used to be. And that has been my experience.
I think that's an important reason to journal.
Oh, because there's been times I've picked up
an old journal and I'm terrible at it. I am just
telling on myself right now I have been to but
I there have been times I picked up my journal
and I'm like, wow Yeah, that's an old version
of Deb. I when I was first Several years ago
when I was called to be the elders corn president
our next -door neighbor and close friend Yeah,
he Ron Bishop Warren was our bishop at the time
and he gave me some wise advice He counseled
me to keep a spiritual journal During that period
of time and I and I did off and on I'm glad for
the moments that I did Wish I would have more
but I'm glad for the moments that I did because
those are definitely Points of spiritual strength
for me and and so, you know, maybe it that's
a good thing for us to consider doing Yeah, it's
just keeping track of those I think that if we
do we're focusing and what we focus on expands,
right? So we'll get more if we focus on it more.
Well, and I think it's I mean, you said something
that made me think when you said, we just want
instant downloads, you know, with AI now, I used
to, when I was in young women's before, I used
to say, you can't Google a testimony. I mean,
you can Google what it is and you can't AI a
testimony. You can't, you know, you can put all
the information you want, but it isn't until
you're still and you allow the spirit of the
Holy ghost to testify of the father and of the
son. Yeah. And it's, it's in those quiet, unplugged
moments, not with downloads, not with, you know,
the, I mean, AI is wonderful and can offer so
much information, but we sometimes forget who
we are in our testimony and in our, in our conviction
of our own knowledge because of the downloads
of the spirit. And when I get my major downloads,
it's in the celestial room. Yeah, really? Yeah.
I get them there. And the shower, oddly enough.
Those two places. I have a close friend who says
the same thing. He gets them in the shower as
well. Yeah, shower in the temple. Those are my
two downloads. I knew I was going to be the Young
Women's President before I got called, and it
came to me in the shower. And I stopped and I
looked up in the sky and I was like, oh, you've
got to be kidding me. But yeah, no, the shower
in the celestial room. Well, I do know this,
that it comes, you know, little by little. Right,
line upon line, precept upon precept, small and
simple things, doctrine and covenant, section
50 reminds us of that as well in verse 24. That
which is of God is light, and he that receiveth
light and continueth in God, that's important,
receiveth more light, and that light groweth
brighter and brighter until the perfect day.
It doesn't say, Flash bang you got it right it
grows brighter and brighter until the perfect
day You know that reminds me years ago. I went
to Maui to visit my dear friend Michelle and
She took me up to the top of Haleakala to watch
the sunrise We left it like 3 30 in the morning
4 o 'clock in the morning to drive up there And
it's the highest mountain on that in Maui, and
it was freezing cold and dark. I mean I was wearing
a coat And I remember standing on the top of
that volcano, watching and waiting for a sunrise.
And it was interesting because as soon as this,
the horizon got a little bit light, there were
tons of people up there. It got silent. Like
everybody was just, you know, they were talking,
talking, talking, talking until there was a little
bit of light and then there was silence. Like
whispering. And then as it got a little bit lighter,
it got silent. Like nobody was talking. And then
there was this moment where that sun broke that
horizon, that little teeny tiny light. And there
was a native Hawaiian up there singing in the
Hawaiian language. I don't know what language
she was singing this honoring that the sun came.
And I sat there weeping, thinking this happens
every single day. Then I take that sunrise for
granted that this little miracle and because
it was such a sacred experience for not just
me, but everybody that was present. I mean, literally
it got sacredly silent, like so quiet. And then
as soon as it came, like she just started chanting,
singing this honor of the sunrise. And I have
never had a more spiritual, I shouldn't say never,
but that was quite a spiritual experience that
I'll never forget. And anytime I see a sunrise,
I think that's a miracle. Every day that light
is consistent. As you're talking about that,
you know, I'm thinking about How things just
come a little bit at a time sometimes, right?
And and and again that this whole idea that it
doesn't have to be big It doesn't have to be
loud, etc. This is actually from page 68 in the
big book of alcoholics anonymous We trust infinite
God rather than our finite selves. We're in the
world to play the role he assigns Just to the
extent that we do as we think he would have us
and humbly rely on him Does he enable us to match?
calamity with serenity. Serenity. Wow, that's
peace. And that's where I find him. More often
than not now, you know, more often than not,
that's where I find him. I just think of, you
know, Matthew 11, 28, come unto me, all you that
lay burn or heavy laden, and I will give you
rest. And then he says, my yoke is easy and my
burden is light. Take my yoke upon you for my
yoke is easy and my burden is light. His burden
doesn't seem light sometimes. It's because you're
carrying too much. Well, and I think it's because
because, you know, maybe we're trying to carry
something that he doesn't ask us to carry. Oh,
yeah. I pick stuff up. Yeah. I mean, I'll literally
pick up a boulder and then think, this isn't
for me to carry. This is his to carry. Well,
and even I mean, as a mom and a grandma, there's
I remember my mom telling me this, the more kids
you have, the more you have to worry. And I thought,
why worry? Quit worrying. Don't worry about me.
Don't worry about. And I but I find myself picking
up the burdens of my children and my grandchildren.
And I think, oh, I just, you know, help. What
can I do? What can I and it's not. They're His,
they're His. I can pray for Him and have faith
that He will. Their journey is exactly what it
needs to be. I can love them and I can support
them, but it's not mine to fix, it's not mine
to carry. That's a perfect example of yoking
with the Savior because it's not mine to pick
up and I still pick it up and I catch myself
and I... Do self -talk and go, Deb, this is none
of your business. This is one of the things where
in recovery, circles of recovery, and for those
who have been around it will recognize this saying,
but this is where we say let go, let God. Yes.
Yeah. Let go. It's not yours. It's his. Right.
And when I remembered that, when I remember sometimes
when I'm feeling overwhelmed or when I'm feeling
downtrodden or when I'm feeling like I just have
too much weight to carry myself, I need to remember
it's not my weight. Yeah. He doesn't expect me
to carry that weight. Yeah, he wants me to rely
on him to carry that weight and to comfort me
and bless me and calm me as I go through it I
don't remember who said it. I think it was a
Elder president Ezra Taft Benson, but I could
be wrong on that. But somebody said that sometimes
The Savior will calm the storm But sometimes
he'll let the storm rage Calm the child within
the storm and that's me within the storm as long
as I reach out to him and Allow him to be a part
of my life again focusing on a eternal relationship
with him Yeah And just seeing him in the calm
and the steady Look for small ways that he shows
up because he does Like I said before, sometimes
he's there before we even notice him. Yeah. And
sometimes the yoke, that easy yoke, doesn't necessarily
mean that I'm carrying anything or that he's
taking anything. Sometimes that yoke is just
him being by my side, just that companionship.
So what a comfort, too. I mean, what a sweet,
peaceful message to be reminded that he's always
there. Always. Yeah. He honors agency and he
won't come into our lives unless we invite or
ask. Or ask, that's right. And I'm so grateful
I remember that because then I... Hyper ask please
please please That's the crying out. We'll talk
about that in an upcoming in I was gonna say
workshops I think I'm back at work We're gonna
we're gonna talk about that in upcoming episodes
for sure that crying out and the importance of
crying out I look forward to this week. I have
an opportunity to go to breakfast with one of
our Institute kids who's really struggling with
an issue and we're gonna talk a lot about crying
out and really understanding who we are and whose
we are and and why all of That matters, you know,
so maybe this week instead of just looking for
what's spectacular in our lives or Maybe we just
look for what's steady Yeah, maybe we just look
for what's constant. Maybe we just look for small
ways that he shows up You know what if it's the
sunrise? Because he does I know because he does
I'm grateful I'm so grateful to have that reminder
today so that I can take a personal inventory
and that I can focus on him and see Him in the
small and steady and simple things. Because I
testify He's there. I saw Him this morning. I
saw Him today. I see Him right now. It's like
it's just using those spiritual eyes to be able
to see, my heart to feel, and my mind to know.
I love Him. Me too. And I know He loves me. Me
too. And Deb, honestly, there's just nothing.
More important to me than that Is my relationship
with him? You know that a soul so rebellious
and proud of my as mine could be rescued by him
And he has rescued me and he will rescue you
too. I testify of that We look forward to being
with you again next week until then be well
