135 | 3 Ingredients to Stay in Alignment with the Lord's Path for Your Business
===
[00:00:00] Hey friends, welcome back to the Called to Lead podcast. So today's episode is going to be kind of a continuation in the series that I've been doing, talking about staying in alignment with the Lord's path for your business. And being obedient to his will and his plans and trying to map out your steps accordingly. Whether that is making a transition in your business, or maybe you're very settled in whatever it is that you're doing. It's always so important to stay in alignment with what he has planned for your life.
And so today I'm going to be sharing three more ingredients to how you can do this really, really well. So let's dive into today's episode.
[00:01:00]
So in this episode, I am going to try to keep it short and sweet. Although you guys know, I can talk. I'm going to be sharing these three simple steps with you or three, I would say ingredients are not so much steps is things that you should be doing collectively. ~Uh, ~in order to stay in alignment with all of the plans that the Lord has for you in your life and [00:02:00] in your business. And doing it in a way that both honors him, but is tied to what it says in scripture. ~So, uh, ~I'm really excited to, you know, kind of kick off this episode with an example of the first ingredient, which we'll get to in a minute. But that is, I spend every single morning.
~Um, ~it's so tempting to roll over, reach for your phone, look at your email or hop on social media. If you're into that, you guys know that's not my thing, but whatever you're into, it's so easy to turn off your alarm. And jump on your phone, getting lost in the scroll, whatever that is. And so I made a habit years ago that has served me so well to make the Bible app, which is also the first little app icon on my phone, on the home screen, just to pop in the Bible app.
And there's a verse every single day in there that I guarantee you. Will bless you in some way, if you allow it. And if you start your day with that, and especially in the last,~ um, ~I would say months, but honestly like few weeks of [00:03:00] uncertainty and just the changes and things like that, that have been going on in my business, which you can catch up on the last few episodes.
If you want an update on that. Especially if you're listening to this, like years down the road and you're like, what are you talking about, Heather? But, ~um,~ essentially that has been such a blessing to me to be able to wake up every morning and it's gotten to the point that I cannot wait to see what that verse of the day is because every day it's something that inspires me and fills me and gets my day, started with something pure and something.
Right. And so today's is perfectly in alignment with this episode, which I knew I was going to record today. And that is Proverbs 16, nine. Which says the heart of man plans his way. But the Lord establishes his steps. And so if you've listened to the last few episodes, whether that is my episode on obedience and how to, you know, stay in alignment with that, or how to actually practice obedience to it. ~Uh, ~you may know, and you might've been feeling kind of what I was feeling that there's this one path that the Lord has marked out for you and that [00:04:00] this,~ you know, it's, ~it's that or bust.
And so it's like, okay, I gotta figure out what that is. And I can't stray from that because it's going to be, you know, I'm going to be wrong or I'm going to be out of alignment if I don't do that. Well, I had a really good friend Christie, remind me, I think it was maybe two within the last two weeks.
Something really important that I don't think the Lord necessarily~ it's~ it's not so much about. About making the perfect decision, whether that's like in relationships or whether that's your business decisions. I think what he really wants is for us to walk alongside him in those steps, like Proverbs 16, nine says that he lines out for the desires that he's put on our heart. And so there's so much freedom in that and ~it, ~it sort of opened my mind and maybe it can open your mind and hearts today.~ As well to know that there could be a bunch of different paths that that could be right, that could lead you to that eternal life, you know, in heaven with him. ~
~It's, ~it's not, don't put that pressure on yourself and I need to not put that pressure on me. To find that~ like, ~perfect, ~like, you know, ~way to go. Right. What he wants. And what this verse says is the heart of man plans his way, which we've talked a lot about the desires of our heart [00:05:00] are that the Lord will give us. And that's also scripturally based.
It's not about~ like, ~oh, I really want a big car. Or, you know, I really want XYZ something material. No, it's the desires that he's put on your heart. Sometimes when you go way back in your life, think about when you were a little girl, like what were the things that, that you just almost unexplainably, ~like ~have a desire for whatever that is.
And a lot of times it's you think everybody else has that desire, but really it's probably unique to you. And so those desires of your heart, when you walk towards. Those the Lord, if it's in his alignment will establish your steps. And so I want to start with that verse and that kind of reminder, because again, I, you guys might need it as much as I needed it, especially if you're in a season of transition. That there could be a many different ways for you to go in in this life while we're here on earth. ~Uh, ~but the most important thing is to stay in alignment with his will for whatever that is.
And so that's where these three ingredients are going to come in today. So the first [00:06:00] ingredient is spending time in the word, meaning literally in the Bible. And I know that, especially if you are not, ~uh, you know, ~like maybe you're a baby believer or maybe you're not a believer. And if you're still listening to this, thank you for being here ~for,~ for listening and hearing me out because you guys, it wasn't that long ago.
Literally. It was like 12 years ago that I, myself was not a believer. I thought that I was because I believed in a higher power. I believed in God, I would pray at night sometimes. But honestly,~ if I, ~if I look back on that season, I think I thought of God as some,~ like, you know, ~kind of cosmic genie that like, I could just ask this request and he may or may not answer me.
And if he didn't, he was mean, and if he did, I was thankful, but I certainly wasn't seeking him for the, you know, the decisions in my life. I was doing it on my own and it wasn't necessarily going that well, but I can see specifically some decisions that I made that, that were. In alignment with his will and those decisions, like in the way it came together. We're so much~ easier, ~easier, and more seamless. [00:07:00]
And I can see how they've all worked together now to bring me exactly to this point in my life. And it's kind of crazy, but in that season of my life, where I thought it was a believer, but I had not given my life to Christ, I was not seeking him. I had never spent any time in the word, like even the Bible stories that people might've grown up with with things like.~ You know, ~vacation Bible school when they would be like, oh, you knew Daniel or, oh, ~you know, ~Jonah.
And I'm like, no, I don't, I don't know what you're talking. I don't know what you're talking about. And while of course I'd heard of Jesus and I'd heard of the Christmas story and you know, all an Easter and ~you know, ~all that stuff. And that might be the only times that we would ever ~like ~go to church as a family to like check the box.
Right. And so I, I didn't, I mean, I hate saying this, but like at that, in that season, I don't know that I believed that the word was true and I certainly wasn't spending time in it. And I certainly didn't really see the value in doing that. So if you're in that season right now and you hear me say~ like, ~you need to be spending time in the word, just know that that's where I was. So like here I am now and I am so hungry for the word.
Like I cannot wait [00:08:00] to get in, dig into my Bible and I can remember years ago, hearing people say that. And I'm like, that seems so not. Accurate or authentic, is that, does that really happen? And I'm good. I can tell you that it can, might not be overnight for some people that actually is, but for me it wasn't, it was like a slow and ~steady, you know,~ kind of like a discipline if you will, of, and it started with things like. Checking the Bible app in the morning, which is totally free and I'll link to it. ~Um, ~in the show notes, if you don't have it, you absolutely should have it.
It's so simple and it's a great place to start. ~Um, ~I can also link to my favorite, like physical Bible. I have loved it. It's amazing. But spending time in the word is so important. And actually what's also cool is you're spending time in the word is. There's if you're a literary geek, which I am definitely not. ~Um, ~if you're a literary geek, there's a lot of different structures within the Bible and our awesome pastor at our church pointed one out in particular ~with, um,~ in regards to Joshua one nine, which is be strong and courageous and do not fear. And that's one that you can lean on a lot.
Right. But what's cool is [00:09:00] it's actually a chiastic structure, which means it's structured like a point where the beginning and the end of that passage. And I think it starts at like Joshua one six or something like that. And the end are the same. The middle is the same. There's another little one.
That's the same, but it points to the point of the passage. And that is,~ um, ~and I think, oh two, I don't have it here. Let me pause it here because it's on my phone, but I'm recording on my phone. So one. One second. Okay, so we're going to read the whole thing. Okay. So Joshua one seven says be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey the law. My servant Moses gave you do not turn from it to the right or the left that you may be successful wherever you go. So don't, we all want that in whatever season we are in our business, we want to be strong.
We want to be courageous. We want to be careful to stay in alignment with the Lord's will. Right. We don't want to turn from the right or the left. And I think I talked about that in a recent podcast too. And this, the blessing that, that visual has been to me, because there could be [00:10:00] other things like if you're walking in alignment with his path, there could be good stuff happening to the left and the right.
But if you stay focused on him, then you are going to have what's best for you, which might be different from someone else. Who's walking in a different path in alignment. With the Lord. But how do we do this? And then of course, who doesn't want to be successful wherever we go. Right? That's pretty much the goal of all we do.
And it should be the goal of~ all you, ~all you do in success is dependent and it's different on two for everyone. So keep that in mind, but how do we do this? So that's where Joshua one eight comes in. Keep this book of the law, AKA the Bible. Always on your lips, meditate on it day and night so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. So if you want to be prosperous and successful, That was pretty clear right there, whether you believe it or not on what to do.
And that is to spend time in the word. And so that's scriptural. Y'all. Oh, on that note when I say y'all [00:11:00] cause that, yes, I'm a southerner. That's going to transition us into, into the next,~ uh, ~ingredient. But before we get into that, I want to invite you guys to do at be a part of something really special that I am doing specific to spending time in the word.
So I have spent the entire last year reading through the Bible. ~Um, ~for the second time I've actually done it one other time, using a different little devotional, but this time I've done it through using the Bible recap, which is freaking awesome. I cannot even tell you Tara- Leigh Cobble. She. ~I ~also had a podcast that goes along with each day, that's broken down ~in the, uh, with, ~with the scriptures and she kind of dumbed it down. And it's doctrinally very sound.
So if you're nervous about that kind of stuff, cause I was a little bit, cause sometimes things can get a little wonky. She looks at all angles, all of it. So ~like ~if you had questions about things like baptism or money or. Like the crazy stuff in Genesis she'll she'll put articles every single day. In the five to eight minute podcast or YouTube video, if you prefer to watch it. ~Um, ~because it's right there in the Bible app. ~Uh, ~like little check-mark devotional thing.
It's super cool. And so [00:12:00] she breaks it down really simply and shares tons of resources. If you want to go on a deeper dive, wherever you are, as a believer or seeking or whatever, all of those things. And ~so, uh, ~I've done it the last year. So today was supposed to be the last day, like 365 days. But I am officially, I think, three days behind.
So I'm going to finish up on Friday. Which means I'm going to start the new Testament, cause I'm not gonna lie. The old Testament was a little, a little, a lot. I can't wait to do it again. ~Um, ~and I will do that again in January. And I'll invite you guys to be a part of that as well, but I, on Saturday, ~Uh, ~which is tomorrow, if you're listening to this, so I will be wrapping up literally the Bible recap the day that this comes out.
So yay. I'm excited. And some people, some of my girls who've been with me, ~um,~ on this journey over the year have finished literally today. They're all commenting and I'm like, Hey, good for y'all. I'm still behind. So whether you do it, you know, in step with us, know~ that ~that's okay. There's not like rules or anything like that.
You can get behind and you can catch back up, but I'm going to be starting again tomorrow. August the 17th and I will link to the new Testament Bible [00:13:00] plan. Where I will be reading through it basically for the rest of the year. And so that will give you if you're listening to this podcast in like October and you're like, dang it, I missed it.
You didn't miss it. Still click the link. You can, you can ~like ~catch up in there and you can do it. I think it's like, uh, let's see. 2 74, I think it's~ like ~90 days. So if you've got ~like ~three months to carve out and you want to do it every day, or sometimes I'll do like a couple in a day, you can kind of speed it up if you want to.
Or ~like, ~if you're like me and you're starting on the 17th, that would be, let's see, September, October, November, like that gives you like over a month to ~like, ~if you miss a couple days in there. So I'm by anybody listening to join me in that. ~Um, ~and that I don't necessarily comment every single day. ~Um, ~because I don't comment in the Bible app, unless I really felt like the Lord ~like ~gave me a message.
So it's not like this huge, ~you know, like,~ oh look, I'm there every day for like, you know where it's from Heather. That's not what it is. It's just a way that if you want to read through it and you want to do it with me, you totally can. And so I'll link to that. ~Uh, ~that reading plan it's seriously such a blessing.
I cannot say enough great things [00:14:00] about it. ~And, um,~ I cannot wait to start it. ~Um, ~the new Testament again to Morrow. With all of you guys. So check that out in the show notes. We're in the description. If you're watching on YouTube. All right. So the second ingredient is all about y'all. Which is the church.
So the second ingredient is making church a priority. So you might be like, okay, well, Heather, like, I like to have church outside or, you know, I like to have church alone in a meadow or on my dock, or, you know, whatever that, whatever that looks like. ~Um, ~well, I have some news for you, the church, and I just learned this, this past week. At church. At our sermon. Is such a blessing in so many ways, because it's a people, we are the church.
If you are a believer in Jesus, you are the church. Meaning like, yes you are, but it's like a collective. You like our pastor said it's ~y'all ~y'all are the church. I am a church and it's important to make church meaning getting together in a group of community, just like the believers did in the early church once a [00:15:00] week and making it a priority in your life.
And so I will totally be honest that there are some times that I might be traveling or something like that. And I miss it, but I remember there was one year I made it a goal in my power sheets, my cultivate, what matters, power sheets to go wherever I was in the world. To go to church and I did it all, but two weeks that year, I believe it was so like 50 of the 52 weeks.
I did not miss church, even if I was traveling somewhere and it was really special. And I know I even need to get back to that because there's something about coming together with other people. Who are seeking after the same things as you, even if they're not like, even if they're literally just seeking at that point and getting poured into, by someone who knows how to decipher and discern the word.
Cause y'all, I'm not a preacher. Don't listen to me for this stuff. Okay. Like I'll share what's on my heart and what I feel like the Lord is sharing with me. I'm an open book and we'll share it with you guys, but I'm not a preacher. I'm not a, I haven't been to Bible school or seminary. Like I am in the word so I can like share the word and talk about it and do all of those things.
But ~like, ~you [00:16:00] need a preacher, my friends. So there's so many great churches out there. I go to a big non-denominational church, which I know is not for everybody. And so whether it's like a small, like, you know, kind of traditional environment or whether it is like me and you're going to ~like ~a big mega church, you know, just, just give some a try and see what happens.
And if you've been hurt by the church, which is so common and a big reason that people won't go back. I want you to know that yes, the church is a people, but we are some broken, messed up people. Can I get an amen all of us. And so if you're putting your faith in specific people and specific shortcomings, and here's a secret, not everyone in the church is a believer or a seeking after the Lord.
And that doesn't mean they're not a good person. That doesn't mean that they're not doing the best, but like even my beautiful 91 year old ~girl,~ Well, she passed away. But when my beloved grandmother, who I will link to her podcast in the show notes, when she was 91, she had spent her entire life in the little tiny Baptist church community. She played the [00:17:00] violin every single Sunday.
She was there. Present. All of the things, but she didn't fully give her life to Christ until she was 91 years old. So now whether or not like, thank God, it's not up to me to judge whether or not, if she had passed that she'd have been in heaven. You know, before that, but I know she's there now and I can't wait to see her again there because she made that decision to give her life to Christ.
She accepted. The Lord and believed, you know, for that first time that he was the savior of her broken. Beautiful but broken self and that she was in need of that savior. And she gave her life to Christ in that moment in a very simple way. Just spending time in the word that morning. And I just love you can, like I said, you can listen to that, her podcast episode, if you want to hear that story. ~Um, ~straight from her words, that was actually on her. Really pretty much her death bed.
She passed away a couple of months after that. And ~so, uh,~ know, that spending time in the church is yes, it is a people, but you can't put your faith in people. Okay. You got to put your faith in the Lord and spending time in a [00:18:00] church with other broken people because you're broken to my friend. So am I, we all are.
That is what's going to help you to stay in alignment with the Lord's plan for your life. And you'll be so excited when like, if you're spending time in the word, then next thing you know, the pastor is up there and he's like talking about the scripture that you read. And you're like, I. No this, I just read this.
This is crazy. This has to mean something because I just was talking about this. And so spending time in the church is the second ingredient. or going to church and making it a priority. The number three way is to align yourself with a community of other believers. So this can be in like a traditional small group environment.
~Um, ~it can be with a small group of friends. It can be like a couples thing. It can be online. So just to name a few examples, I, ~uh,~ felt co led a couple of years ago. Gosh, it's been, I think it'll be three years this January to start ~a, uh,~ like a Bible study that was based straight up and spending time in the word with some gals that are local to me here.
And so we met, we started every week on Mondays. We've shifted [00:19:00] to every other week and we kind of rotate houses now. And I have a fabulous gal, Meghan, who is ~kind of ~like my co-leader in it now, which is really great because it's not, it's not all. You know, on my shoulders, but that community and those women are so special to me.
And I love it because there they haven't been in the business. I don't really think any of them, maybe one or two I've been, you know, in my life, in a business way. And we all go to different churches for the most part, a lot of us go to the church that we go to, but like anyone is welcome and it is been so special and such a blessing and a beautiful example of what it looks like for community. Another example is, and this is where if you've been to a small group and you've maybe not had a good experience, I've been there too.
I've been a part of multiple small groups. Most of them that were couples based that just didn't quite work out for Roger and I, but the very first one I ever went to when I was a baby believer and I was, did not understand things like grace ~or, um,~ and this was in 2012. I remember so 12 years ago, ~Um,~ and I was pregnant with Mary.
[00:20:00] So I don't remember when that was. It was probably like the winter about what? So it's been almost 12 years and I remember we were talking about it and we were talking about the Bible and going through like the story reading plan. And I was like, this is so confusing to me. And I didn't really connect with like the leaders.
I mean, they're very nice people, but the people who are leading it are really that many of the people in it, however, one of the couples. What, ~uh, ~was Emily and Rob Horton. And you guys have heard about my story with Emily, who I knew her husband, Rob, because he was a hairstyle since Savannah. I had a boutique in Savannah and he was so fun and I just love him so much, but I didn't really know his wife, Emily, until I went to this small group.
Well, that small group didn't work out, but we made our own small group thanks to two of my other best friends, Catherine Grant and Trisha Howard. And Emily and I, we decided to make a small group of the four of us where we met over wine at like a night out. Maybe like every, we try to do it every month, but it was more like every other month I would say. And we did it for about 10 [00:21:00] years and we would go on trips together.
We would spend, we can sometimes with our families sometimes just us, but we made it an intentional priority to make that small group work. And you guys, Emily became one of my very best friends. She became my hairstylist and she unfortunately passed away last October. And if you've been a longtime listener of my podcast, you know how hard that journey was for me.
But even though that small group didn't work out, that one connection in relationship has blessed my life so much to this point. Point and will continue to bless my life in the future. And so if you're in a small group now it's not working. Maybe go find you another one. It's okay. And just know that there's a purpose in that path of you being a part of that group, but go find, find another one.
Don't be, don't be scared about that. ~Um, ~another option is virtually. So, ~uh, ~the, she works his way. Community started. If you guys hear me talk about a lot that a lot and Somer Phoebus and Michelle Myers are two of my mentors. They have a fantastic podcast called she works his way, but that started with a group of network marketers.
So that's probably you guys, if you're [00:22:00] listening, who were chasing after the Lord and they decided to start meeting like first thing in the morning, on one day of the week. And so they made their own virtual small group. And that is what grew into, she works his way community, which I'm a part of their Patrion community is fricking awesome.
If you want like daily tidbits, that again will align with the Lord. Like every single day. It's crazy. And so that's another example of a community or small group. And then lastly, anytime you can get together with your people, it is such a blessing. I had the opportunity to do that. A few weeks ago with some gals who are just rock solid believers.
They were,~ uh, ~leaders in different facets of my business and we had already ~kind of ~planned a trip. And so we were able to just a few of us kind of get together. ~Um,~ and it was so special to be able to be. Like process through this difficult season together, dream and hope together for the future. And, you know, really ~kind of ~look at those desires that are on our hearts and look at the plans for the next steps.
And again, most of us that were there are ~kind of ~[00:23:00] pursuing, ~you know, we may, ~we may come back together in alignment towards a collective path. ~Um, you know, ~who knows? Right. But right now in the season, we're all kind of pursuing that different path, but yet we're aligned together in seeking the Lord's will for that. And it's been such a blessing to be able to stay in community and in lock step with those girls who are going through exactly what I am going through in my business right now. And so whatever your community looks like, know that, that ingredient of cultivating and being an intent intentionally partnering together with other believers is huge.
And that doesn't mean that you can't associate with non believers. Of course not ~like ~that's how they become believers, hopefully. Right. ~Um, so, ~and Jesus did that. My goodness. That's how he spent his time was with he doesn't,~ you know, ~he's, he's there to seek and save the lost. So you can do that too, but just make sure you know, who you're listening to.
We talked about that a few weeks back and, and that, ~you know, ~if you're getting or, or give, you know, receiving advice from someone who's not in alignment with the Lord, It doesn't mean it's not good worldly advice, but just like my verse of the year is, do not be [00:24:00] conformed to this world, but instead be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Sometimes if someone is too grounded in the word, even if they are a believer and we've talked about that, that even a believer can give you worldly advice. But if they're not in alignment, if they haven't been given that gift of the holy spirit by given their life to the Lord and seeking after him, just be careful with the influence that they have over your steps and your decisions. And how they may or may not be in alignment with the Lord.
So keep your community, ~you know, ~a curated. When you're wanting to stay in alignment. But be a light in to others that may not be there yet because you never know the impact that you can make by showing them love and including them. In all of the things. And so community is so important friends. So just to summarize the three ingredients for staying in lockstep or alignment with the Lord's plan for your life and your business. Is number one, spend time in the word.
Number two. Make church a priority weekly. ~Uh, ~number [00:25:00] three. Curate and find a community and surround yourself with other like-minded believers who are on that same path, even if it's well, same path to stay in alignment with Lord different path likely and wherever it is that they're going. And so I hope that this blesses you guys.
Don't forget to check out the show notes for the link to the Bible recap reading plan in the Bible app. That starts tomorrow. If you're listening to this, when this episode drops, ~uh, ~or it's something you can hop into and catch up on, there's no perfect timing. You guys it's his timing is perfect. I cannot not even tell you how many times that has happened, where I've been, maybe even like a week behind, don't think I've ever really gotten more than a week behind in this year.
And it's okay if you do. But ~I, uh,~ it was wild cause like that timing that day was exactly what I needed. But then it's really funny because I would go back and be like,~ well,~ wait, when was I supposed to be reading this? And I'm like, oh, well that would've been really good on that day, too. So that's a ~perfect, ~perfect. ~You know, ~kind of way to go back to what we talked about in the beginning that you don't need to fear.
This was my huge revelation. I had a couple of days from the Bible recap. [00:26:00] And I think it was in maybe Jude that I was reading. And I commented on that, on that plan. ~Um, ~so this is an example where I had that. And I think that, like the only thing I fear is staying out of lockstep with the Lord and doing something that's not according to his plan. And what that reminded me that day was that as long as I'm seeking him and it, which of course I am, and that's what I'm inviting you to do along with me, then that is the goal.
And that he can gently bring me back that I'm not going to, if I sin, if I like get it wrong, then that's the whole purpose of Jesus coming to die on a cross rise again, to be that ultimate sacrifice for all of my shortcomings in the past, in the present. And in the future and my friend that is yours today too.
So if you've never made that decision, I invite you to do it and invite you to look more into it and the perfect way that you're going to be able to find that again, is to dive into the actual word and you'll see it all throughout it. So I'm gonna wrap up this episode in prayer for you, [00:27:00] wherever you are in that journey. And I can't wait to keep you guys posted on all the exciting things to come. ~Um, ~in the weeks and months to come for me. So Lord, thank you so much for the listeners of this podcast, especially if they've made it all the way through, which is not always easy in this busy life that we have, but I sure am grateful to be able to share what you've put on my heart.
And I pray that it blesses them. And I know from my experience and from just this crazy season that I'm in right now. That these three ingredients are your plan. Above all for us while we are here on this earth, but yet they are the ingredients that can guide us towards the bigger and better plans that you have for us.
If we just trust you in those. And so Lord, I just pray that people will look to your word, especially if they are seeking and haven't yet given their lives to you, that they will look ~to that, ~to that. John 3: 16 is the perfect summary ~of, of, ~of what, ~you know, ~the entire purpose of the entire Bible.
So just help them look into your word, help them. ~You know, ~kind of pursue that little prompting to dive into the Bible recap reading plan with us. And [00:28:00] then help them find a church. Lord, if they don't already have one, help them find that. And if they do already have one, help them prioritize it with their family to be able to attend weekly. And then finally I pray that people who are believers can get linked up with other like-minded believers in their community, whether that's virtual, whether that's in person. Whether it's big, whether it's small, that they can experience that beauty ~of, ~of linking arms with other believers. And so Lord, thank you for the blessing of your word.
Thank you for your timeliness. And all things. And we just ask that you continue to show us the way and allow us to be light to others.~ Uh, ~who are also on that journey in Jesus name, amen. All right guys. Thank y'all so much. I hope you have a beautiful week and we'll see you next week. Bye.
