Invest Wisely | Call Her Night | Wendy Perez

because i am really excited about what i get to share this evening with all of you it's something that's really just been in my heart and i've personally been applying in my own life and i've just really seen god do an amazing work really the message and um i think the heart of what i would like to share tonight was birthed out of the chaos of the pandemic did anyone like have a little bit of challenge when we were locked in our homes with our families or maybe no families or yeah anybody that yeah yeah that was different wasn't it and i mean we work together like we do do a lot of things my kids um my kids did online learning you know before the pandemic even so we did we spent a lot of time together but i still wasn't ready for 24 7. you know like i just wasn't ready for 24 7. and so it was kind of during this time uh we we had we had you know some budget cuts and we had to tighten some things up and we were all together and you know and and you know there was some social things and political things and people are upset and people are upset at us and we're saying this too much and not this enough and you know all these different kind of pressures and i kind of started to cave and and i slowly but surely and it's kind of funny to say because you know sometimes when we think about this idea of a victim mentality we think of it as actually someone who has been victimized but you can actually adopt a victim mentality anytime you want like today just right now you can just decide to be have a victim mentality and boom just have it right there you don't ever have to be victimized to have a victim mentality it's like it's like the best lie the enemy has right he deceives us and tricks us into developing a victim mentality and we're not victims i was not a victim of anything right yes i get it it was 20 20 for all of us you know we all lived through the same 2020s so you know it was just there and it was that but i wasn't victimized in that moment but i found myself developing a victim mentality and the problem with a victim mentality is it blocks your vision you can no longer see where god wants to take you because you are so inward focused and i found myself so inward focused on windy and what wendy wants and what wendy doesn't have and how unfair this that wendy had to go through all of these things that i could no longer look ahead or look forward with expectation i could no longer look forward come on to anything in the future with hope i could no longer see even just a few weeks ahead of me i lost motivation when it came to fulfilling goals in my life i couldn't set any new goals because i couldn't see even a short-term vision in front of me let alone a long-term vision i found myself i know i said i'd write a book i didn't write the book right i know i said i'd start the blog i didn't start the blog right i know somebody got the website going and then it just sat there the whole year like all of these things that i had started just kind of just started just falling out of place why because i couldn't see anymore because once we allow a victim mentality to begin to take over our mind we lose our vision i want to talk to all of us tonight trust me i am i am preaching to myself and i'm continuing to preach to myself because just like ali says we are all on a journey and just because i am sharing with you tonight does not mean that i am i am um you know somehow arrived i am still putting into practice everything that i am sharing with you today and i still have good days and i still have bad days and i still have days that i want to like start looking inside and go oh feel sorry for myself right then i have to shake myself out of it and get to a pilates class because i pay way too much money for that gym i wish i went to ali's gym for ten dollars a month my pilates gym is not ten dollars a month so girl is gonna get herself there i'm telling you that romans romans no i'm not yeah i am in romans yes is that romans romans chapter 12 oh i hope so yes thank you all day i don't know why all day i kept having hebrews in my head hebrews hebrews hebrews and i kept going no romans romans romans paul paul paul we don't know who wrote hebrews you have to remember that paul wrote then anyway so okay we got it romans romans chapter 12 verse 1 passion translation it says beloved friends what should our proper response to god's marvelous mercies what should be our proper response to god's marvelous mercies i encourage you to surrender yourselves to god to be his sacred living sacrifices and live in holiness experiencing all that delights his heart for this becomes your genuine expression of worship stop imitating the ideals and the opinions of culture around you there's been a lot of opinions over the last couple of years but be inwardly transformed by the holy spirit through a total reformation what of how you think this will empower you to discern god's will can i say it to you this way this will empower you to discern the vision that god has for you as you live a beautiful life satisfying and perfect in his eyes god has given me grace to speak a warning about pride well this is like a like a really intense like left turn right like paul is definitely known for this and he is definitely a very intense human being but like we just like went left god has given me the grace to speak a warning about pride okay i would ask each of you to be emptied of self-promotion and not create a false image of your importance instead honestly a self you're worth by using your god-given faith as the standard of measurement and then you will be able to see your true value with an appropriate self-esteem in the human body there are many parts and organs each with a unique function and so it is in the body of christ for though we are many we've all been mingled into one body in christ this means that we are all vitally and i wish that was like bold i wish that was like in caps vitally joined that means essentially joined that means important that means without you the body something's broken with if you're not there come on come on we gotta call an ambulance you are vital aye there we go come on can we give a hand to the back of house right now they're the best vitally joined to one another with each contributing to the others father we thank you so much for this evening that we have together lord i pray that we would leave this place encouraged and lord even if we're listening again or we're just remembering this time that we had with you god bring to remembrance lord how much you love us the investment that you've made in our lives and lord if you have invested so much into us that you would send your one and only son for the sake of a relationship with us god that we are worthy of loving and investing in ourselves that same way or we thank you lord that you created us who you created us to be we embrace that beautiful woman that you created us to be in jesus name come on say amen amen i actually am a little bit hot i know i was excited to wear the sweatshirt on a 100 degree day but i'm actually just a little bit hot up here so maybe i'll just stand in one place for just a minute it's a little bit warm in this sweatshirt i'm just feeling that right now how many did tie-dye how many got their tie-dye on oh that's a lot of hands i know that it's going to be open afterwards and there are more things for you to buy if you'd like to join us in the tie-dye i did two sweatshirts i brought both my call her sweatshirts and ty dyed them anyway so that was really really fun so please go ahead and um join us in there and i would i if you are interested at all in helping put these beautiful nights together and and just you know even just establishing greater relationship here at church lv and in a great community of women seek out and find out about call her crew we would love to sign you up and just get you more involved i don't know they were here till i don't know whatever time last night setting up and blowing up balloons and putting things together and laughing a lot and i don't but everything just to make a really fun event so i always think some sometimes those are the most bonding moments right when we just kind of get get together and get ready for the event so i just want to encourage you on both those things invest wisely invest wisely well i understand that the title would lend itself to be talking about money and money is one of the things um that i'm going to talk about but really this talk isn't necessarily specifically about our finances this talk uh was really born out of this need i found myself it was the end of uh 20 no it was the end of 2019 and i was just done i was exhausted i was tired i i was having a very bad attitude i was not controlling my emotions and um and i was especially irritated that we changed our budget i don't know why that suddenly became so important to me i'm one of those people now let me just take a poll because you know like when you take the dave ramsey class shout out that's a really good class to take if you're looking for some great advice when it comes to your finances excellent but he tells you to take cash and put them in an envelope and then when the cash is gone there's no more money to spend but see cash is like free money to me it's like monopoly money to me i'm like i got cash dinners free tonight like that doesn't now if i pull my card out i'm like oh do i want to put it on this card right because i know the end of the month right and i always like to screenshot that zero like i want to screenshot zero due like i'm done you know like i paid it all off so i'm like oh i don't know about the car but i love cash love it so somebody already sent me an early birthday present and i had to like get that cash like to my credit card as fast as i could because i'm telling you if i didn't that cash would be gone and it'd be like starbucks and target and so they'd be like my mom be like what'd you buy with your birthday money and be like coffee oh it wasn't free that was my birthday present okay anyway so it's not really about that but i was so funny because that's what irritated me the most is that i got really really frustrated um and it was this is again this is just internal and this is it's actually oh i almost said asinine can we say that okay anyway um it was really asinine of me i mean it's just so stupid i'm blessed i'm i'm i'm well taken care of the you know it's just it's just dumb but for some reason that was the thing that just kind of got stuck in my craw you know and i found myself really irritated about it i was just irritated i was just like what's going on and and this is you know it's just changing everything and all of these pressures are are um ganging up you know and here we are and now we're cutting our budget and i i just i didn't sign up for this and so again all of the things that we do when we get into that victim mentality right you know you know you said all these phrases i'm sure at one point or another and if you haven't it's probably coming no it's okay no hopefully after tonight this will never happen to you because you know it will be revealed and you'll never fall in you know okay and so i literally was like okay this is i am generally a happy person like i just have a a happy disposition okay so i'm just i'm going to always look at the bright side like that's just my given nature and i found myself being overly overtly negative all the time all the time everything non-stop and actually i got sick of myself have you ever just got sick of yourself you're just like shut up my kids are like who are you talking to myself like i'm putting myself on time out don't come in here and i just i was literally like okay jesus like i mean we're literally christians for heaven's sakes not only are we christians we are freaking pastors like i better just put into is this too real sorry i better just put into practice what i actually preach like dear god you know like i looked at me and i said if we can't do it everybody's screwed like they have no hope the pastors can't make life work oh my god so i just was like shut everything out you know i mean i already watched everything on netflix everything on prime now everything on hulu peacock wasn't out yet it came out after i mean it was like there was no more options besides jesus and i just went to jesus and i i said this is this is more than like this is more than just like a one-time like i've seen attitude change this is more than just like a wake up it'll be a new day this is more than i see to get outside and bring some fresh air i was like i am in crisis i just stayed until all of a sudden i i just i began to just continue to feel a breakthrough and every time over that next week two weeks three weeks that i felt that trying to come back on me i'd just go back with jesus real housewives could wait we could binge watch that another day all of the all of those other things that maybe see and i just pushed it all aside for just we weren't going anywhere anyway so what else did we have to do and i just went in my room about this time started asking for prayer for with some of my prayer group just i need prayer like i just need a breakthrough and slowly but surely just begin to lift so what's funny is that during this time what was so frustrating to me what what what happened to bother me the most which has never bothered me in my whole life because benny's so fiscally responsible i just i've always just leaned on him you know to help with all those things that's what bothered me it's just bizarre to me that that's the thing that irritated me but as soon as i begin to put my focus back on jesus and get my mind you know kind of back in the right headspace cut out all the other voices that were speaking into that headspace you know just especially for a little while when we when we start to get that toxic we just need to cut out all those other voices i all of a sudden begin to hear the holy spirit again and what happened was is that as slowly but surely as the holy spirit began to break that victim mindset of i'm a victim of 2020 i'm a victim of budget cuts i am a victim of these things these circumstances around me and begin to break that off all of a sudden begin to see vision again and this is like just a silly thing but i actually um was in my closet one day looking around my closet and i realized i hadn't worn any of these clothes in a year because we've been all shut down and i just only wear athleisure wear now anyway and i was like i'm going to sell this stuff so i opened up murkari and i quadrupled my budget the first month and i it was great it actually gave me something to do because i was quite bored and i was doing negative things so this was a very positive thing but you know what's so funny and that's just a really simple thing and i'm not saying open up a mercari shop but it i mean just it is good but anyway not if you buy more stuff than you sell though the point was that as soon as i could step back and take some time with jesus i could get my vision back the other scripture that i have for you is found in proverbs proverbs 29 18 it says when there's no clear prophetic vision people quickly wander astray but when you follow the revelation of the word heavens bliss fills your soul you know what i like about this scripture is it doesn't say when you follow the revelation of the word your life is perfect it doesn't say when you follow the revelation of the word everything just works out it doesn't say when you follow the revelation of the word nothing bad will ever happen to you it doesn't say when you follow the revelation of the world you're never going to eat your feelings it doesn't say when you follow the revelation of the word you're never going to have to see a counselor it doesn't say when you follow the revelation of the word you're never going to want to you know binge whatever i i don't know it doesn't say that you won't have challenges in life but it does say that there will be something that is greater on the inside than the circumstances that are happening outside it is in that moment when if we can allow ourselves to say you know what i am falling into this mindset of a victim mentality and i can't see clearly because when we can't see clearly we will have no destination and if we have no destination we will have no goals and if we have no goals we will have no fruit and if we have no fruit we will feel like we are nothing and we are less than or unworthy of proper investment but here's the beauty of when we come to jesus when we came to him it was never about you or i being worthy it was never about you or i earning or deserving something it was always about coming to him and receiving his love and his acceptance he is the one that makes us worthy he is the one that gives us the vision he is the one that empowers us to invest in who we are to complete that vision romans 12 starts out and it says that we ought to see ourselves as a living sacrifice that this right that this is a proper response and this becomes our genuine expression of worship you know having grown up in church so many times i always equated singing with worship or music with worship or instruments with worship right or some kind of you know outward verbal melodic sound with worship but then right if you're here on a weekend uh uh pastor benny will talk about our generosity being a form of worship do you know what the reality is the reality is our whole life is actually worship everything we do is worship to him well this suddenly refra reframes reframes did i say that right i didn't say refrain re-frame like frame like framing a picture okay that's important refrain and reframe are two very different words this suddenly reframes the idea of investing in ourselves so when i'm living in the tyranny of the urgent which is actually living in a victim mentality having not planned ahead having not taken the control that i actually do have over my own choices in the yes and the no's and the boundaries that i set in my life and instead i'm living in the tyranny of the urgent i'm not worshiping the lord with my choices my mom said to me wendy why don't you exercise so i don't know i've made up a bunch of excuses i don't know when i was in high school i used to sit on the floor all the girls would be exercising i'd eat chips and queso i guess i just never started and now i don't know how to start cause i just don't know what to do she's like she's like wendy what if you saw working out as a job and i thought i could take that one step further what if i saw working out as worship girls i am not talking about a size i'm not i promise you i am not my doctor already told me she says honey you're 45 you need to stop looking at that scale she did too she did she says you have unrealistic expectations of what your weight is going to be i was like i rebuke you satan i was like don't you make money off people like me this is why you're in business because i eat my feelings it's either you or the counselor this month it was you i'm not talking about a size i'm talking about health just health we have six currencies that we can either consume or we can invest in we can be christian right or we could be american consumers christian consumers female consumers we can be whatever we want but we can either consume these currencies these resources in our lives or we can be good investors in these resources right as my husband tells me right we can have exponential results the longer we invest in them the six currencies are our body right what we eat are hormones do we go to the doctor do we get those things checked out do we ask some questions right do do we do we maybe do some stretching some yogas i do pilates it's really fun you know i don't know do we just find something that works for us our minds what about our minds what are we doing to exercise our minds maybe we're we're tuning in to dr carolyn leaf she has a new app it's amazing you could actually go on a 60 i think 60 to 64 day journey where every day she's coaching you online and you're taking steps to begin to just clear your thinking and begin to think right it's so interesting it's that we can live six days without what is it water six days without water i should have looked this up before i got up here with a microphone six days without water right six minutes i'm gonna get this so wrong somebody needs to look this up for me six minutes without air i don't know i'm just making this up okay good good all right this is interactive message this evening but like six seconds without thinking we focus on all these other things and sometimes we forget the way we think what we're thinking about it's not it's not normal it's not normal to wake up and have dread you may have been living that way for a very long time but you don't have to live that way let me be clear when i'm talking about all these things there's no condemnation in this room there's absolutely no condemnation and i was i want you to understand that every six of you might say like oh there's two of those i really need to work on i need to work on all six i am the best starter and the worst freaking finisher on the face of the planet i'll start any one of things to help my mind or my emotions or go to counseling really good and then just never go back for six more months i mean i do oh i start all kinds of things so i need to work on all six of these okay so i just don't want you to have condemnation here so body mind three emotions emotions i finally just had to come to grips with the fact that i eat my emotions i didn't want to admit it i really didn't i wanted to pretend i didn't eat my emotions i wanted to pretend that i had it all under control but all i wanted to do was eat in and out cheese fries every time something got hard that's not normal if you have a hard day every day like 2020 that's rough what are you doing some of us we don't want to invest in ourselves because we think it's too much money can i tell you something our own bitterness and unforgiveness that we struggle with that we think that we are covering up so well unfortunately is maybe the number one thing that we will pass down if we have kids and all of a sudden what will happen is one day let's just say we have man issues i did i had to get over them i was i was a woman in a mostly man's world in communication and i i had issues i really had i mean i had to go for it i had to get blunt honest i had to heal wounds i had to go there because i didn't want to see my daughter rolling her eyes i don't want to see my daughter my daughter has a wonderful father she sees her mom having this great expression there's never been an issue been he's always championed me she would have no reason to have any kind of issues except my own bitterness and unforgiveness if i didn't deal with it because it comes out in the slightest of ways and it's passed on and she doesn't even know why she's reacting the way she's reacting but it's because i allowed it we've got to deal with the internal struggle we will pass it on our talents and our gifts i finally had to get honest with myself and say okay so am i just going to talk about writing a book for the rest of my life or am i actually going to do it am i am i going to say for the rest of my life like oh yeah and my sweet husband oh she's such a great writer oh have you written books no i'm like i'm 45. i'm middle aged oh my god like come on girl let's get it together look let's just do it let's start taking some of those steps right let's take some of those talents and those gifts and identify them and say okay how am i going to use them our money some of that is a little bit self-explanatory but just learning how to do better with it get better with it and lastly the sixth currency is our time and our energy i i love you call her i love you with all of my heart i feel absolutely put on this planet to minister to women to call them um empowered to their god-given destiny that they would find their strength their voice um that they would be everything that god has called them to be their leadership capabilities to the maximum you know i i pray that i'm on this planet when we have a madam president you know i i i really do i hope for those things i feel absolutely just impassioned from the inside out for women but i found myself coming to church events being extra super nice which i usually am i'm just like generally a kind person the only people that ever see the bad side of wendy is my husband my mother my children and a few staff if they've been here a long time uh i i really you know i i am i'm generally nice right so it takes a lot to push me over the edge but i found myself expending copious amounts of emotional energy here at church but then i would go home and i would just let down completely and i wouldn't make the same investment as hu at home as i would make here here i would always be on my guard i would always want to give you my best i would always want to take the time to pray for you look you in your eyes you know like you know you know have that moment right it might not be long right but just have a moment how are you good to see you maybe give you a hug a high five whatever i would always want to be the very best but then i would go home and give them the scraps the leftovers that don't talk to me i'm too tired i don't you know and i said i don't want to do that anymore no it doesn't mean i'm going to be mean to you just want to make that clear i'm not going to show up at church and be like shut up i don't want to talk to you no i'm just kidding that's not really my mo anyway but be way more passive-aggressive than that um but i realize i want to give my best first and foremost to benny right because i mean we're looking at emptiness well maybe not i mean my god bj are you ever gonna get a girlfriend you're 20 freaking one he's like i don't understand my whole life you tell me don't tell him i said this oh god i hope this isn't like streaming to the world he's watching the olympics it's fine he's like you tell me my whole life that i can't date now suddenly you want me to get married i'm so confused i'm like oh my god you're so black and white this is so annoying it's that firstborn pleaser situation happening i want to give my best i want to be present think about the people that have been with you that have walked with you the longest especially in church community and i i know that we all we all want to be welcoming and i think that we should be even more welcoming and it's hard you know with the mass situation and you know who knows what the future is going to hold in these next few weeks but i think that we should go out of our way to you know embrace new people as they come to the church but like if there's a birthday party that i'm going to prioritize right i mean pastor cool and i have been walking together for years and i'm not putting any other relationships down but i'm just letting you know who are the people that have been walking with you for years though those are the people through thick or thin through pandemics and deaths and valleys and the highest of highs and the lowest of lows those are the people that will get in your face even when you don't want them to tell you the truth i want to invest in them these are this is our this is our worship well it seems so simple doesn't it throw up romans 3 seems so simple romans 12 3. yeah that's right this is our worship right everybody's gonna get up and do a group jog in the morning we're all just gonna like you know join small groups and like deal with our emotions and oh yeah we can do this no problem but why but we don't then i didn't and i lived just running from thing to thing people are saying you're so busy and mean oh yes i am i realize no i'm i'm making the choice to not leave in an appropriate amount of time i'm creating the stress that i'm living in i'm creating the tyranny of the urgent then i'm calling myself a victim to the thing that i have created when in reality i am not a victim unless i am victimizing myself because i am in full control of my life i'm telling you ladies if there is one thing i want women to do is i want you to be empowered to see that you do have a choice you have a choice you always have a choice you do romans 12 3 throw that up there for me romans 12 3 it says paul just takes this left turn he's all nice he's making us feel all good this is your reasonable this is jesus has done all these things for you you you need to just you know this is your worship this is a proper response if you want to change your life you got to change the way you think you got to get out of that victim mentality you got to change your thinking first right this is all good then all of a sudden he's like god has given me grace to speak a warning about pride i would ask each of you to be emptied of self-promotion and not create a false image of your importance instead honestly assess your worth by using your god-given faith as a standard of measurement then you will see your true value with an appropriate self-esteem as the ban comes back number one i can tell that this is a man writer and this is not a put down on men because i love men and you should love men amen can we just give a hand clap for all the men love men raising two married to one okay we love men and you are fulfilled whether you are married or not and here today we do not think that you have to have a man to be fulfilled in fact you ought to be completely and totally fulfilled before you get with a man because that will only exasperate the problem amen [Applause] i can tell that this is a man that's writing this because if a woman wrote this passage put that back the passage back up three three three thank you twelve three if a woman wrote this it would say uh go to the beginning of three god has given me grace to speak a warning about pride i would ask each of you to be emptied of self-loathing and not create a false image of your unworthiness instead honestly assess your worth by using your god-given faith as the standard of measurement and then you will see your true value and you will have a much better holy ghost-filled self-esteem here's what i want you to hear tonight and this is really important because this is the whole point and i set it all up and you can buy the devo you cannot buy the devo you could do whatever you want i just i hope this message you know came across i realize it's a little different it's not super preachy but i'm just kind of sharing my life with you here's here's this is this is this is the crux this is the most important part we categorize pride as just thinking better of ourselves but pride is elevating anything you think about yourself above what god says about you you know why we don't invest in ourselves we don't think we're worth it not in our heart of hearts whether we've been rejected whether if we are married maybe we're having some marital issues maybe there was some kind of abuse some boundaries crossed maybe there were some words spoken maybe our viewpoint we have a warped understanding of what the bible talks about women and we think of ourselves as less than maybe somebody even taught it at a church somewhere then you believed it we don't really see ourselves as worth it we don't see the value in being healthy we don't see the value in learning to manage our finances we don't see the value in developing our talents we don't see ourselves as roman says as vital but paul is writing and he says each one of you is part of the body we all make up the body of christ no matter how we look sound at we are all the body of christ and not only that i know doctors who tell you oh we'll take out your appendix we don't even know what it's there for anyway you're not the appendix so quit disqualifying yourself there is no one in this room age creed size color status culture background that is somehow disqualified from being a vital part of the body of christ you are worthy you are worth it you are valuable you are empowered you are loved you are wanted you are pursued you are covered you are desired you are beautiful you're worth it and sometimes it's really hard to believe that we might we might believe it here when we're in these four walls feels extra special cause you know kanye was here on sunday it was so cool we'll leave it for a moment and then we walk out and we go back to everyday life there's dishes to be done or laundry to be done work-related paperwork to fill out and kind of get back into the old grind there has to be a transference from here to here otherwise it's just a new year's resolution that's just a birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday to andy happy birthday to you what'd you wish for that i'd exercise this year never worked i i know i i don't want this to be about your body i really don't so i i keep that's the example that's coming to mind but i do i really don't want it to be about that i i i just want it to be about you believing that you're worth it you're worth the investment the counselor to get some healing you know what's interesting and not everybody's like this but i'm like this when i pay 175 an hour hopefully your counselor is cheaper than mine i do the homework cause that's a lot of money right my gym is really expensive too gotta sell a lot of my car to pay for that baby it keeps me going i'm worth the investment this means we are all vitally joined to one another if it's not enough tonight to truly believe that you're worth it could it be that you not believing it is cutting off life support life supply to someone else if we're all connected it means that my spiritual growth is connected to your spiritual growth that means the more that jesus works in and renews my life the more i can pass on the life and the vitality that jesus has given to me that means the more he does in your life the more you can pass that on to the women around you and the beauty of that is ladies we are raising come on the bar we are raising the platform and that means with our daughters and our granddaughters come on when they grace stages and lead companies and lead nations and influence generations and speak out and become doctors and lawyers and mothers and teachers and wives and entrepreneurs they start where we end and they go far beyond you and i that is the beauty of living life in a community like this is that our lives and even our growth matters it really does when you came in there was a piece of paper on your seat if you would grab that now maybe it's under your seat or in your purse all night if you kind of haven't caught on by now but we've been having like little little uh [Music] hints about all the different things so we had um jojo joanna was up here painting showing off her talent wasn't that amazing that was fun we were kind of having fun doing the tie-dye i was like oh man i forgot how fun it was when you were in kids ministry and you got to do crafts at church it was like whoa bringing the crafts back at church anyway the tide was just kind of fun but all of the things even the the pre-show and ali just kind of sharing her journey all of these things were just to point us to all the different currencies in our life so this is my end it's a little different we want it to be different tonight we will we'll open up these altars and maybe you need to spend some time with jesus and i want you to have that time and we're gonna sing um but i also just want you to take i want you to really think too i want you to take a moment as we begin to go into this song i want you to look at that card i don't want you to put all six things down that's overwhelming and unrealistic but just one and for some it might just be short term because i know i i've been there a few times in my life i've been um struggling with actual clinical depression and in that mindset and i know when you're in that mindset it's very hard to see a long way down the road so maybe you just need a short-term goal like i'm going to call that counselor and i just want you to just write that down just take that step and for some of you it's like you know i just i need to get maybe back into some of the routines that i've lost over just the chaos maybe for some it's just i actually before i get to any of the six things i just need to take the next week and read scriptures about how worthy i am not by my own efforts but by who god created me to be i really need to see myself as worth this investment before i embark on this journey so would you just take i'm gonna come back could we just take a few moments they're gonna sing this song i know it's different stay right there you could see even say you just seated i just want us to dial in just for a moment i want us to search our hearts it's like homework but in person i just want us to think about this for a moment and just really ask the lord to speak to us right now
