ministry for your children in the name of jesus i want you to clap one more time come on and give god glory come on and open up your mouth y'all sit down my god hallelujah i want you all to know even as michael introduced me i am his mama but he's not my only child gloria god i have five sons somebody said five you know these days if you have five children they think you lost your mind y'all but i have five sons gabriel who's on the camera bless his name gabriel michael is right after him raphael brenton and my grayson you heard singing maybe you did maybe you didn't but anyway all five of our sons all five of them and the one thing that i'm about to go go up and hear y'all in the name of jesus like michael say i'm ready ready glory to god with those five boys let me tell you something um you know of course i thought i was gonna have a girl but i got all these granddaughters we have five sons we have um five granddaughters i have three daughters in love hallelujah and believing for the rest amen hallelujah the one thing about when the boys were growing up they were very competitive they were and still are very competitive in games and everything you know they would play man it'll gets so loud in the house now the loudness yes amen it come from me what can i say i'm loud y'all i love to give god glory but anyway one of the one of the biggest things that would happen is you know during basketball season for the most part we were all together on who we wanted to win there came a time when when some of them split off into one area or another in terms of who they wanted to win as far as the championship or even when they were playing the games or whatever it always came down to the championship and in a championship you always have at least three somebody said at least three that people were looking forward to as far as that is concerned oh let's see just like lebrons d wade and bosh y'all didn't think i knew yeah then another is steph oh my jesus roche clay and help me with the other ok come on kevin glory to god then we had shaq kobe and gaza y'all gone up in here then my favorite because this was close to many many years ago but he's still a star michael jordan come on pippin and rodman come on somebody say the big three my god today and there was always a victory when you had three that knew what they were doing well today i don't want to keep you in suspense about what it is that i'm gonna talk about i want you to know today that i'm gonna talk about the big three somebody said the big three lord have mercy the big three to answered prayer the big three that would make a difference in your life and my life in the name of jesus the big three which is a threefold cord that's not easily broken in other words when you have all of these things tied together they will not break you will get an answer like never before and in this season and time we want you to know in 2021 if you do all three of them i want to stand here and say you are guaranteed to get an answer to prayer the reason that many people don't pray is because they don't think they can get an answer but maybe you have left one or two of these things off what are you talking about prophetess we're talking about in matthew the 6th chapter verse 2 says and when you give now come on up in here did y'all hear a few moments ago about giving we'll come back to that in a minute when you give you jump down to verse five come on it then says when you pray then you jump down to verse and it then says when you fast are y'all gonna help me up in here number one is what when you give did i make a plan all right number one is what when you give hey my god today number two is what when you when you pray number three is what now i have a question did anybody hear anything about if you you can look at scripture did it say if you come on now it said what what did it say what did it say oh my god today i want you to hear me even now you may not have been getting your prayers answered or the enemy has played with your mind and make you feel like you need to give your prayer request to everybody else but god wants you to know that when you give when you pray when you pass something's gonna break [Applause] something's gonna happen somebody say win you my god we're talking about the big three somebody say the big three the threefold court to answer prayer come on now we just talked about all of those wonderful people concerning basketball and all of that but we're not talking about basketball we're talking about your life are y'all in this place and i know you are are you on your couch is it causing you to stand up and say wait i'm listening for the big three in the name of jesus that will cause victory to come to my house somebody say victory that will come to my house when i do what's number one what's number two what's number three today if you've got hands going and clap right there can i tell you that giving that fasting and you're praying is not a suggestion hey this is not a suggestion it's a standard somebody said less set rules and regulations for 2021. let's set something that will give victory in my house glory to god when you give come on transformation nation glory to god and our partners and the wonderful people that are here i don't really have to stay on this one about when you give because this is a giving ministry are y'all in this house and pastor michael you know he was saying the the the how his foundation has been laid the things that he has seen and experienced you see he came from a given house y'all better hear me up in this place i can't tell you how many people that we have kept in our homes many times making the boys get out of their beds hello there was a ministry here where where people would come in from all over the world and many times there would be 21 people extra in our house and you're saying how did they get in there at that time we had a 6 000 square foot house and we made the boys get out their beds and we would give of everything we would give a food we would give a space to them so they wouldn't have to worry about paying all that money for staying in hotels my husband is one of the greatest givers i have ever seen in my life oh y'all come on up in here and we together have been ones that give and and i know that the boys saw that and michael the way that he has literally as much as we've given and as we have watched god do great and mighty things for this transformation of ministry and church glory to god and see him standing so very just just strong in his belief about giving knowing that it's more blessed to give than it is to what you know acts 20 35 said i've shown you in every way by laboring like this that you support the weak and remember the words of the lord jesus that he said it is more blessed remember the words of the lord jesus it is more it is more it is more blessed in other words you will be blessed beyond anything that you can ask come on here that you can imagine in the name of jesus when you are a giver and for many of you i read many of the letters that came in doing crazy faith many of you sit here my fifteen hundred dollars come on it wasn't all these huge gifts it was people who gave because they believed with crazy faith that as i give god a gift back to me come on how how y'all good measure come on what else and what else will he cause to give into our bosom you don't know your name may be brought up in somebody's room right now hallelujah somebody need to declare i'm being discussed right now y'all need to raise your hand right there you don't know who've been watching you you don't know who has a plan to say i see your faithfulness i see how you have been come on here you are blessing and your name is being literally brought up because god sound calls men somebody say men to give into your bosom but it's not gonna come in the form that you gave it y'all better hear me up in here sometimes it takes a little bit and i'm trying not to stay on this but y'all got to hear me up in here sometimes we give i almost said god this is my last oh but god said baby that's all i wanted all i wanted to see is that you are willing to give to me and i never give it back to you in the form that you give it hallelujah i'mma give it i know i'm repeating the word i'ma give it back to you good measure my god today how many of you know god got some big hands hey hey hey i'll give it back to you good measure come on everybody even at home come on girls come on come on boys and girls come on my mom and dad he's i'll give it back to you good measure come on huge somebody press it down come on here and even though it's pressed down he didn't want to shake it together oh cause he's trying to feel every spot god's not going to leave you out he's not going to leave a space somebody say every space field come on good measure shake it down come on here press down shake it shake it together he's gonna put so much on there he said then it's gonna everybody do this run over shook i prophesied to you even now in the name of jesus that god is about to do a good measure a press down are shaking together are y'all believing god gus is gonna run over somebody said god says it's gonna run over say it again your appointment's gonna run over your blessing's gonna run over my god today he said listen uh hallelujah it's not gonna rain from the sky he said i'm gonna touch the hearts of men to give to you it's gonna run over i will cause men to give somebody begin to pray right there i'm getting ready to give men hallelujah to give in to your bosom hallelujah now listen y'all you may be seated glory to god hallelujah number one is what i'm sorry y'all got to be already come on we talk about the big three number one is number two is let me tell you something glory to god what is prayer prayer in a in its simplest form is connecting to god somebody said connecting come here you can stand by me and we never really connect that's good are y'all in the house come on come on that's good so often we can ask god give me let me let me help but we never connect that's good come on come on communicating connecting yes ma'am yes ma'am we connect with god we communicate with him see when we connect come here son come on here is a threefold court come on that's connecting that's gonna cause us to be stronger glory to god but we're connecting with god we're connecting with god we're talking to him we are communicating with him when we need something is that when we connect with him no come on is that the only time we connect with him somebody say every day thank y'all we have to connect with god on a daily basis what i want to say to us even now that if you've not been connecting or communicating with your god make a decision right now that you are going to communicate now let me tell you something when you talk about communication it's not a one-liner it's not just one person talking when you communicate it's a two-way conversation see if you if you're saying don't connect we're saying okay let's communicate let's talk about it you know my husband and i've been married for 41 years and you know glory to god hallelujah and there are different ways that we connect and if in fact we did not connect we would not be able to do what we do sometimes many times when we connect it's not even words there oh y'all better hear me up in here sometimes it's just a look and he knows exactly what i'm thinking when you begin to connect with god on a daily basis are y'all in the place glory to god the bible says my sheep know my voice and a stranger they will not listen to who are you listening to in this hour what you got to understand is that prayer is the source here at transformation church michael todd the people that are here will not be able to do what they do except for somebody connects with god and declare lord what is your will we want your will to be done lord is this your will you heard the man of god say come on we're not going in with our private agenda yes god spoke to him back in august but if he want to erase that and say something else he's open to hear what god said lift your hand and say god i'm open come on glory to god the bible says that jesus prayed are y'all in the house he prayed he connected with his father somebody say every day jesus said i only do what i see my father doing i want to give you something man glory to god as you pray every day as you spend time with god don't let time you wake up the first thing you do is pick up your phone and see and connect with the people on your phone i'm telling you in this 2021 glory to god when you wake up oh first thing you need to tell god is thank y'all thank you for waking me up this morning thank you for allowing me to see another day can somebody say thank you glory to god and then you begin to spend time with him talking to him connecting to him glory to god that we don't neglect are literally connecting with him there was a group of guys in luke 11. verse one and two listen to it it says now it came to pass he was praying in a certain place talking about jesus when he ceased that one of his disciples said to him and we've heard this so often lord teach us to pray as john also taught his disciples somebody say lord teach me to pray my god today so he said to them when you pray glory to god teach us to pray and then he said so when you pray didn't we say at the beginning when when you pray say and he went through the entire thing our father which art in heaven and on down the line the prayer that we have been praying for years and years and years then he continued on somebody said he continued on to teach and that's what we are doing we are teaching you seek ye first the kingdom of god and his righteousness the right way to do things and everything else will be what it'll be added teach us to pray so for me i love examples so in that fifth verse he said and he said to them which of you shall have a friend and go to him at midnight and say to him friend lend me three loaves for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey and i have nothing to say before him and he will answer from within and say do not trouble me the door is now shut and my children are in the bed and i can rise and give you i say to you though he will not rise and give to him because he is a friend yet because of his persistence somebody shall persist us he will rise and give him as many as he needs what am i saying to us this day this is a time to persevere this is a time to persist somebody say persist you have to persist in prayer you can't be one that prays one time and then you don't pray again are y'all in this place that's as good as the devil wants he wants you to pray one time about your children he wants you to pray one time about your marriage he wants you to pray one time because see people will say to you well it's not faith if you pray again what god say persist this man said look i ain't got it but i know who has it somebody say i may not have the answer but i know who has it my god he said persist in another version it says he kept on shamelessly asking too many of us are too prideful are y'all in this place we get so prideful and we won't ask we won't persist look somebody said it ain't no shame in my game i'm not playing games i want an answer from the holy one of israel are y'all in here i'm talking about prayer shameless when i looked up that just as i'm telling you when it says shameless asking you don't need to be shamed that you asked more than one time god is not offended about you persisting he's attracted to it [Applause] god is not offended it doesn't make god upset that you keep on asking that you persist in your asking there's a real devil that makes you back up or for asking god for healing asking him for deliverance are y'all in this place hey my god today hallelujah we will not back up god is not offended by our persistence he is attracted to it glory to god now listen to the scripture he told us very clearly he said ask and keep on asking knock everybody act like you're knocking and keep on knocking he said listen if somebody that's your regular father knows how to give you good gifts what about me are y'all up in here in the name of jesus we got to pray we got to seek god while he may be found we got to connect to god we've talked about two chords so far two things of the big three what's the first one y'all we have to give number two is come on jesus was our best example of prayer y'all when it was time to decide on the disciples you know what he did he didn't pray for one hour he didn't pray for two hours he prayed all night long you know the problem with the many of us we come up with these little flimsy answers and we don't take time to seek god but listen y'all in this 21 days of fasting and prayer you got some things that's going on in your life you got some things that you need an answer for if you have to stay up all night if you have to fast and pray out 21 days ooh somebody real quiet up in here yeah you gotta persist hey glory to god and even judas y'all don't hear me up in here he was the right one he not shy uh-huh y'all looking at me crazy but i'm telling you he was the right one to be chosen and all the other all of the other disciples why because jesus didn't make a rash decision he literally persisted look at somebody and say persist why y'all playing up in here look at somebody and say persist persevere you've not gotten what you want because you won't persist you get all offended you get all hurt my god hey but god say persist i have an answer everybody else may think they know the answer concerning your life but the devil is alive if you persist as you come before god you're going to get the answer for your life now can i tell you somebody said say it again i'm about to do number three the last thing god says in his word is when you not if you fast when you fast for years the art of fasting have been left out of our lives come on up in here you literally look at any of the men and women of god amen simple mcpherson come on all the different awesome men and women of god marie woodward etta john dowie these people didn't do what they did on their own they spent days in prayer i was reading a thing on them and they said oh mary wood where's edelman she would go into a town and things wasn't moving the bible says not the bible the reading says she would pray until something happens look at somebody and say are you willing to pray until you get your breakthrough too many of us are satisfied we're excited about this happen and this happened but oh god has given you a picture of what's supposed to happen and if my god today if you want to see it happen take the shame off go ahead and fast everybody else may be eating come on here but we're talking about an upgrade somebody's saying upgrade if you would add fasting onto your praying y'all better hear me in this house it's just like taking fuel and putting it on the fire and then there is a big for 2021 hey take these next days starting tomorrow and begin to fast now you got to make up your mind that you're gonna do it before tomorrow comes because if you have it privately in your head okay i'll fast for three days and then i'll start my you know then i'll start my daniel's fast but then you hadn't told anybody [Music] you can change your mind and nobody ever know it i want you to get an accountability partner get an accountability partner this is my plan because i got to hear from god i got to have some fire on to what's going on in my life fasting is intentionally abstaining from things that are pleasurable for spiritual everybody say spiritual development we got too many weak babies in the body of christ oh the clamps are getting real weak right now i said we got too many weak babies look at somebody say it's time to mature glory to god we want to be strengthened we want to make a difference that when people bump into us they bumped into the holy ghost that when people bumped into us they bumped into fire when people bump into us they bumped into healing when people bump into us they bumped into deliverance come on lift those hands up right there my god we're talking about humbling ourselves under the mighty hand of god come on up in here psalm 35 13 david says i humbled my soul with fasting your mind your will your emotion if my people are y'all getting tired come on here come on and give god some praise up in here come on and give him praise the bible says if my people who are called by my name would do what humble themselves and that word humble in there still means fasting humble themselves pray seek my face turn from their wicked ways then will i hear from forgive your and begin to heal your land somebody shout heal my landlord heal my landlord glory to god fasting brings you into a deeper more uh intimate relationship with the lord come on y'all we want to communicate and connect to god if you would just change your mind about how you see god and say god today i got to connect with you you make it your food to connect with god in the name of jesus and baby you shall start connecting to god when your stomach start growling come on up in here let me tell you something there is so much that i could say glory to god i i think about one of my favorite scripture jeremiah 33 3 says call unto me and i will answer you and i'm gonna show you great and mighty things during this time of fasting and prayer we're gonna call up to god somebody open your mouth even now right where you would say lord i'm calling on you god call up to the lord and the guarantee is that he will answer you not only is he going to answer you where's your faith he's going to show you something great somebody say great and mighty things that you didn't know about somebody said that you didn't know about he knows the plans glory to god let me tell y'all something we've talked about the victory say it again the victory number one when you give number two when you pray now y'all get this last one right number three when you fast lord have mercy three if you don't remember anything else i'm saying for this 2021 a lot of people will do one thing they may give awesome givers but no praying they may pray but don't give standards i don't know what they may fast but then they leave something else out but around here and what we are setting right now we're not only going to give we're not only going to pray we're also going to fast because the threefold chord is not easily broken now i want to give you an example i heard this story a few years ago and i must tell it right now abraham lincoln actually told this story about some woodsmen that's people who go out in the woods and cut things down and literally there have been some contests that had gone on and this old man was the master champion woodsman then there was a little young whippersnapper coming along so i could beat that old man so he wanted to challenge him sometimes young people you want to challenge us you got so many awesome things going for yourself but hear me by the spirit there is something that have us where we are we didn't just get here we've been through a lot god has shown us a lot are y'all in the house we can learn from you and you can learn from us oh y'all better hear me in the house and this this this young man said i can whoop that old man so they had a contest and that day the young man was on one side the older gentlemen were on the other side come on now and they say ready go and boy that little young he just cutting those things down man he was going the old gentleman he was cutting but then he would stop see this is the time that we are stopping with the fasting and praying i'm trying to help you glory to god this is a time that we're stopping for 21 days this old man would stop and sharpen his axe it is time for us to stop and get sharpened we'll be able to hear better we'll be able to give better we'll be able to pray better because we stop and sharpen our axe when the contest was all over they began to to count up how many trees was cut down and that young man was standing there just as proud just knew he had won and they said no the old man won the champion won he said how in the world could that be he said i was i never stopped and i would see that old man just sitting down what the real deal was the old man said to him young man come on now he said what you don't know see there are a lot of things that you don't know and here we are today trying to tell you the things that you may not know are y'all in the house he literally said young man what you don't know is that every time you would see me sitting down i was sharpening my axe what are you talking about let me give you uh our context for that ecclesiastes 10 10 says if the axe is dull 2020 may have made you dull because of what's going on what's going on in your family how your money was funny people that you loved died that makes you real dumb dog makes you look at god kind of funny come on now if the axe is dull and one does not sharpen the edge fasting will sharpen your edge then he must use listen if you don't sharpen your ex you'll then have to use your strength you have to be in you'll have to be in your flesh trying to do something that god wants you to do in the spirit we at this church we could not do it these wonderful people around here and in every department it doesn't matter we have to yield ourselves to god because we don't need to be dull whether we are wives or husbands you don't have to be dull god wants your edge to be sharpened so you won't have to use your strength but look at this but wisdom somebody shout wisdom brings success you know what y'all i'm about to bring this thing to a close but i got to show you all some glory to god wisdom will bring you success by sharpening your acts fasting is wise [Applause] fasting is wisdom we're saying god we can't do this by ourselves now i got two people i need to let let's see this come on now it makes a difference when you are sharp and when you are dull i'ma say it again you can't hear well you're not sensitive to to go and give somebody something you're not sensitive to go and help somebody or y'all in the house but see you have to have an ear to hear what the lord is saying and when you have a dull ass well look pretty dull to me try it again bro well i guess you got the sharp one let's see my goodness whoa oh glory [Applause] i prophesied that that's the way it's gonna be in 2021 as you start off i'm sharpening yourself my god not doing it in your own strength even on the first time somebody say the first time you'll be so sharp you won't let people in what they have to say mess with you you won't be so sensitive are y'all in the house god said i want to sharpen you i want to sharpen you as a mother i want to sharpen you as a father i want to sharpen you in the name of jesus one strike because of being sharpened lift your hands in your home and say i want to be sharpened say i want to be sharpened in the name of jesus in the name of jesus where's jeremy glory to god god start dealing with me this morning in the name of jesus come on i need to hear somebody pray fasting is the fuel to your spiritual fire come on you're getting you're getting sharp we talked about the three bids come on here the big three you got to give you got to pray you got to fast in the name of jesus glory to god rebecca hallelujah lift your hands up right now glory glory glory glory hallelujah come here man of god now i know you did not know this because you're not at my house in my time of prayer but i heard the holy ghost saying just like it took you a moment to come from back there to here i remember my husband and i being a part of your interview just a little part and i just loved and still loved your heart because you so wanted to be a blessing to the people around you [Music] you wanted to literally be able to pastor those and help them in their walk and i don't know nothing except for by the spirit it's not going exactly like it was in your heart yet somebody said yet but it sure as i'm standing here lift your hands before god the way you saw it i come to confirm to you today that is shelby god loves you so much that he would deal with you at miles to call you forward because ministry is on the inside of you and even though you do what you do there's so much more to you and god put you out on front street today it's not gonna be a long time that he'll bring you from the back to the front in the name of jesus to be able to help disciple the very ones that you're working with because the men and women of god that god has sent here and will send they need to even in a greater member uh in a greater way know how to give prayer fast in the name of jesus and all that you have within you i hear the holy ghost saying for the last seven years there has been a storing up you can when you leave out of here you can count it up you can count back for seven years that he's just been stuffing it in you and stuffing it in you and then allowing you to give it out at different times and you've wondered become number one to shut the devil's lies down shut up devil this man of god was directed here in the name of jesus and i thank you what's in his heart shall come to pass there's an anointing that is upon you that will break and destroy every yoke in the name of jesus hold your hands out the anointing in the name of jesus for this thought that gives to you the will and to do of his good pleasure somebody give god some praise [Applause] [Music] i said somebody give god praise hallelujah [Music] everybody just stay standing lift your hands up before god we've talked about a threefold court charles that's not easily broken threefold court to answered prayer we just barely uh scratched the surface but you know a lot of times when there is one chord there ain't nothing going on two you can easily shake them but a threefold chord where's that illustration come on i want to put some on your mind that help you to understand the big three in the name of jesus there are three chords here if i had just two i could shake those loose but when you talk about the threefold court to answer prayer the big three hallelujah we're talking about number one when we number two when we number three when we i'm telling you all someone would have a really hard time breaking this three fold court and i want to say to you transformation nation transformation partners in this 2021 we're stopping first to sharpen our ex so we won't have to do things in our strength in the name of jesus and we're gonna use the threefold cord of giving praying and fasting let us pray and then i'm gonna turn it over father in the name of jesus we give you glory god hallelujah we give you glory for what you're doing in and through our lives in the name of jesus as we stop starting tomorrow for 21 days we've already been given and we'll keep on giving and god we will connect with you like never before we will conversate with you we won't try to impress everybody else but we're gonna talk to you and god for you to put the fuel on our fair fire through fasting i thank you lord god for that mother it's not just mothers fathers you're gonna take that big three teenagers you're gonna take that big three all of us in the name of jesus we'll be careful to give you the praise the honor and the glory it's in jesus name somebody give god glory right there hallelujah come on hallelujah oh come on can you give it up for the gift and the anointing and the wisdom of pastor oh come on you can do better that we wouldn't be here without her wisdom without her insight thank you so much today pastor brenda thank you for so many of you this was more than just a service this was more than just a decision you made in a moment but this is something that is changing the generations this is changing the way you raise your children this is changing the way you lead your business it's changing your life and we are so so proud of you listen if you've never been a part of something like this we want to help you we have resources we have people we have videos and tutorials on how to do this and what does it mean we've made a 21 day guide for you we've partnered with the youversion bible app if you go to the app store google play store and search youversion bible app if you search on that app the sauce there's a 21 day guide that we're all going to be doing together you can get it on our social media on our website you can go to the app but we're going to walk through this thing together as we close out service today you know pastor brenda you were talking about the big three and uh there are some people on here that before we talk about the big three of giving and praying and fasting there's another big three you need to me you see there was another big three that when earlier when she said your name would be in rooms that you didn't know about there was a big three there was god the father god the son and god the holy spirit and before you were even born they had a plan for your life they they were so madly in love with you and some of you life has made you dull life has made you think that there's not any hope life has made you think that you're not good enough it's made you think that maybe god didn't put all the pieces you need but i came to declare over your life that the big three before you were in your mother's womb they knew the plan and the purpose they had for your life and right now in this moment some of you the reason you're here before you're gonna start the prayer and fasting tomorrow but before you do that you're going to make a decision to surrender somebody say surrender today the reason you're watching is you need to give your life to jesus you've tried you here's what's happened you've been dull and you've had to use your own strength that's why you're so tired that's why the money can't give you peace that's why the amount of success hasn't done anything for you that's why you're in the relationship and you still don't feel fulfilled that's why you had the kids and it still doesn't seem like enough because you need something that no man or woman can give you there is a hole in your heart that god is ready to feel and here's the thing you don't have to be perfect you don't have to stop doing all these things and i got to do all this stuff to stop no if you surrender in a moment the bible says if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that jesus is lord you shall be saved right now wherever you're watching from there is no distance in prayer and in a moment i'm going to say a prayer and i want you to repeat after me everybody in this you right here all together transformation nation no matter where you are if it's light outside if it's dark outside if you're by yourself if you're with your family i believe when you pray this prayer in a moment the savior of the universe steps right next to he's always been there but the bible says literally he stands at the door and he knocks and he says if you just open the door i'll come and i'll help you with everything i'll be the strength you need i'll be the peace that you need right now i'm going to say a prayer if you want to accept jesus i want you to ask you everybody right now would you bow your heads and close your eyes not out of a religious act but just to focus in on where you are with your relationship with god there are some of you in this moment this is the moment you surrender this is where you say i'm done trying to do it on my own i'm done trying to be my own source god i need you i'm going to pray this prayer and if you want to accept jesus into your life i want you to repeat this prayer after me say dear heavenly father thank you for loving me dear jesus i admit i've made mistakes my life has made me dull and you are the one who can make me sharp again it's in jesus name i pray amen amen transformation church can we celebrate oh come on can we celebrate people who gave their life to jesus listen listen listen listen scripture says that when one person when one person makes a decision that heaven stops everything the angel stopped singing they stopped well they said hold up there was somebody that just surrendered their life to me they stop and celebrate and we celebrate with you listen from this moment you're beginning a journey you're giving beginning a process it's not about being perfect but it's about progression and we want to support you
