If you clicked on this episode, I want you to know that I see you and I feel, I feel what you're going through on a deep level because I, over the last four to eight hours I have had.
Just a hard time, and maybe you are in the middle of a hard day, or maybe it's been a string of hard days and you feel like you, they just won't stop.
(00:29):
Right? They keep coming.
Um, either way, I pray that you're in a place right now where you can just take a breather, okay? Where you can give yourself the space that you need to.
Just be human and to process and to feel for a, for a little bit.
Okay? And I want you to know that my main objective from this, this podcast episode today is for you to know that you're not alone.
(00:55):
And that hard days are normal, especially when you have just been betrayed, when you've just been wounded, when you've just experienced some form of loss.
Like having the hard days is normal.
And I want this to be about.
How to like just helping you, coming alongside you as, as another wo like woman.
(01:15):
A woman in the middle of my own storm.
You know, this is not as Coach Danny or mentor Danny.
This is like the Danny that is having a hard day and what I want to leave you with and what is helping me get through a hard time myself.
Okay.
You know, if you've been following for some time, you know that about three months ago something happened within my marriage that.
(01:39):
Really was so hard and it, you know, since then I've, I've, I've walked through, I've been walking through waves of healing and I thought that I was like past it because God definitely supernaturally came in and healed my heart.
Um.
But I realized that it wasn't all the way healed.
(01:59):
And it's so funny because I tell this to people all the time, like, healing is a constant journey.
It's not this destination.
And man, I'll tell you, I am fully living in that statement and realization like it is a process and I'm in the middle of this process with you girl.
Um, you know, since, since then, you know, I've been.
(02:23):
And, and some days are, and some days are really good, and then some days.
It hits pretty hard and you have this realization and you have, and you have these moments where you just gotta cry it out, where it's just you and the Lord and it's like, God, why is this hurt so bad? Why can't I just be done? Like I'm so annoyed with myself, and you go through all these different emotions and so.
(02:46):
Today's episode's not coming from Mount.
I'm from a mountaintop.
Okay? It's coming from the valley.
It's coming from the middle of the process.
I'm sitting here right next to you and I wanna talk to you about what to do, and you are having.
A hard freaking day.
You know, the kind that tries to take you out mentally, emotionally, where your mind feels like it's racing and you, you, you just have these, you just find tears dropping from your face or maybe you're on the opposite and maybe you, you are not crying at all where it is still a hard day, but you're, you're not allowing the emotion to come out.
(03:18):
So no matter what you find yourself in, grab your journal.
This is gonna be a really honest, raw and hopefully just something that speaks.
Right to your soul, and we're gonna get through it together.

41
00:04:10,466.1054177 --> 00:04:27,176.1054177
For 10 years I was stuck in a cycle of toxic, non-committed relationships and searching for my worth in men, my accomplishments, and the praise of other people until I found out how to heal my past emotional wounds with Christ at the center.

00:04:50,16.1054177 --> 00:04:51,786.1054177
One step at a time.
46
00:04:52,135.65312648 --> 00:05:07,885.65312648
You know what's so crazy about growing up or being in this generation, not even growing up, being in this generation, is that I have found some of my best friends from online communities and something about, you know, whenever you.
47
00:05:08,10.65312648 --> 00:05:11,850.65312648
Are in the middle of, of needing to heal.
48
00:05:11,850.65312648 --> 00:05:23,40.65312648
When you are in the middle of struggle, of challenge, of questioning everything, your identity, your worth, your purpose, your relationship with God, your, your mental health.
49
00:05:23,365.65312648 --> 00:05:24,685.65312648
You don't need to go through it alone.
50
00:05:24,685.65312648 --> 00:05:25,615.65312648
You need community.
51
00:05:25,615.65312648 --> 00:05:33,925.65312648
And if you find yourself without a sister friend, okay, without a sister in Christ, without somebody to come alongside you and walk that, that path with you.
52
00:05:34,225.65312648 --> 00:05:42,55.65312648
I want, I wanna invite you over into the free community that I have for women, specifically on the podcast that, that are listeners of the show.

62
00:06:05,755.65312648 --> 00:06:17,215.65312648
This is where you're gonna find other women who are just literally also in the middle of their healing process, t taking it, making it priority for them to pour into themselves and just like-minded women.
63
00:06:17,245.65312648 --> 00:06:23,305.65312648
So I invite you to come on over, share a little bit about yourself, introduce yourself, and just be vulnerable and real.
64
00:06:23,335.65312648 --> 00:06:26,995.65312648
That's the best way for you to experience healing.
65
00:06:27,295.65312648 --> 00:06:27,595.65312648
Okay.
66
00:06:27,925.65312648 --> 00:06:33,25.65312648
Now getting into getting into what I have for you today, I'm just gonna speak from the heart.
67
00:06:33,25.65312648 --> 00:06:52,495.65312648
Okay? I hope that's fine, but what I found myself that I had to do is the first thing, just let it out and don't beat yourself up for being human, for feeling the emotions, for experiencing jealousy, comparison, insecurity, Carri.
68
00:06:53,680.65312648 --> 00:06:55,480.65312648
Times where you're just bawling.
69
00:06:55,660.65312648 --> 00:06:57,460.65312648
Like don't beat yourself up for it.
70
00:06:57,460.65312648 --> 00:07:12,190.65312648
Don't feel shame for feeling what you feel, okay? Now, I don't want us to stay there, but don't beat yourself up for it because the more that you beat yourself up for it, the more that you're annoyed at yourself for it, the less you're, you're extending love and compassion for yourself.
71
00:07:12,190.65312648 --> 00:07:14,50.65312648
Your friend would not be like.
72
00:07:14,530.65312648 --> 00:07:25,420.65312648
Listen, like you're being annoying because you keep crying or you're being annoying because you are, you are going through something that's hard and you just need to get it together.
73
00:07:25,600.65312648 --> 00:07:29,770.65312648
Like, okay, if a friend did that, they're just not really that great of a friend, like.
74
00:07:30,15.65312648 --> 00:07:35,325.65312648
You want a friend that can, that can be empathetic with you, that can, that can just sit with you.
75
00:07:35,325.65312648 --> 00:07:44,715.65312648
Whether it's just a body literally that's just there, that that is, that is sitting with you, letting you know that you're not alone or somebody there that is speaking life back into you.
76
00:07:44,715.65312648 --> 00:07:47,955.65312648
You need a real friend and you need to be that for yourself.
77
00:07:48,315.65312648 --> 00:07:51,345.65312648
Okay? A lot of us get mad, including myself.
78
00:07:51,345.65312648 --> 00:07:55,485.65312648
I found myself getting so annoyed, like even when I go, went and got prayer.
79
00:07:56,290.65312648 --> 00:07:59,320.65312648
Um, I know it wasn't, whenever I got prayer, I was speaking to my husband about it.
80
00:07:59,320.65312648 --> 00:08:05,530.65312648
I was, I was just telling him like, how annoyed, how annoyed I am for feeling the way that I feel.
81
00:08:06,460.65312648 --> 00:08:08,410.65312648
And a lot of us feel that way.
82
00:08:08,410.65312648 --> 00:08:16,120.65312648
A lot of us get mad at ourselves for being sad, for being triggered, for being emotionally off, for not being okay.
83
00:08:16,270.65312648 --> 00:08:19,270.65312648
And we say things like, I should be over this by now.
84
00:08:19,300.65312648 --> 00:08:25,630.65312648
Or, you know, why am I still crying about this? Literally girl's feelings in crying.
85
00:08:25,630.65312648 --> 00:08:27,520.65312648
Do not, it does not make you weak.
86
00:08:28,30.65312648 --> 00:08:28,960.65312648
They lit.
87
00:08:28,960.65312648 --> 00:08:41,290.65312648
It's literally just evidence that you are human, so you have to give yourself compassion and stop trying to fix yourself in one day, in one week, in one month.
88
00:08:42,565.65312648 --> 00:08:44,245.65312648
God is not rushing you.
89
00:08:44,245.65312648 --> 00:08:46,45.65312648
He's not rushing this process.
90
00:08:46,45.65312648 --> 00:08:48,205.65312648
In fact, he's in these details.
91
00:08:48,205.65312648 --> 00:08:53,515.65312648
He is right in the detail of when you are slapped on your bathroom floor, crying it out.
92
00:08:54,100.65312648 --> 00:08:54,550.65312648
Okay.
93
00:08:54,790.65312648 --> 00:09:00,880.65312648
When you're crying in your car, in between meetings or going away work or from work, he is with you.
94
00:09:00,880.65312648 --> 00:09:09,880.65312648
And these are the moments like we, we, most of the time, we want God to show up in these big ways and we expect him only to show up in these big ways, but he shows up in the very small.
95
00:09:09,940.65312648 --> 00:09:25,300.65312648
Details of your life in the moments where you find yourself crying in your bed, when, when you're processing, when you're feeling these emotions of jealousy or insecurity or you're comparing yourself with with another woman, and it's like, okay, you have to go through in your mind like, Lord, help me.
96
00:09:25,300.65312648 --> 00:09:26,680.65312648
Like I know this is not your truth.
97
00:09:27,730.65312648 --> 00:09:38,860.65312648
And this is kind of getting into my next point, but like, it's these moments where you're, where you find yourself being able to depend on God more and being more, cultivating a more intimate relationship with him.
98
00:09:39,100.65312648 --> 00:09:43,930.65312648
And that right there is how you can find the, the beauty out of this.
99
00:09:44,950.65312648 --> 00:09:53,50.65312648
Okay? So if God is not rushing you, why are you rushing? You? I love Psalms 34 18.
100
00:09:53,50.65312648 --> 00:09:55,540.65312648
This is my, this is my scripture that I'm standing on.
101
00:09:55,540.65312648 --> 00:09:55,900.65312648
All right.
102
00:09:56,200.65312648 --> 00:09:58,270.65312648
I recommend, I remember my good friend telling me.
103
00:09:59,380.65312648 --> 00:10:03,340.65312648
Are you okay? What scripture are you standing on? Do you have a scripture to stand on? I find a scripture to stand on.
104
00:10:03,340.65312648 --> 00:10:04,540.65312648
I'm like, I, you know what? I love that.
105
00:10:04,540.65312648 --> 00:10:10,270.65312648
I need to find a scripture to stand on so that way I can speak, speak out truth whenever I am.
106
00:10:10,450.65312648 --> 00:10:11,860.65312648
My mind is so crazy.
107
00:10:11,860.65312648 --> 00:10:13,30.65312648
My feelings are wack.
108
00:10:13,90.65312648 --> 00:10:13,450.65312648
Alright.
109
00:10:13,450.65312648 --> 00:10:14,110.65312648
They're wacky.
110
00:10:14,445.65312648 --> 00:10:21,915.65312648
Psalm 38 18 tells us the Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
111
00:10:22,155.65312648 --> 00:10:23,685.65312648
What a beautiful promise.
112
00:10:23,715.65312648 --> 00:10:28,275.65312648
He is close to those who are broken hearted, and he saves those who are crushed In spirit.
113
00:10:28,275.65312648 --> 00:10:32,265.65312648
You are not in a hopeless period of time.
114
00:10:32,565.65312648 --> 00:10:37,605.65312648
This is just a moment in your story, a moment in your life that is not gonna be forever.
115
00:10:37,605.65312648 --> 00:10:39,75.65312648
You're not gonna feel like this forever.
116
00:10:39,465.65312648 --> 00:10:42,15.65312648
Okay? This is just part of your story.
117
00:10:42,370.65312648 --> 00:10:46,840.65312648
This moment does not make you a, a, a, a, um, a cry baby.
118
00:10:46,840.65312648 --> 00:10:52,510.65312648
This moment does not make you a, um, an emotionally off person.
119
00:10:52,900.65312648 --> 00:11:04,240.65312648
Um, a, a bad friend, a bad sister, a bad wife, a bad girlfriend, um, or whatever other like identity frames that you're telling yourself annoying.
120
00:11:04,630.65312648 --> 00:11:05,620.65312648
That does not make you that.
121
00:11:06,520.65312648 --> 00:11:06,910.65312648
Okay.
122
00:11:07,150.65312648 --> 00:11:11,230.65312648
So stop beating yourself up for being human and allow and get it out.
123
00:11:11,230.65312648 --> 00:11:12,730.65312648
Don't hold it back.
124
00:11:12,730.65312648 --> 00:11:13,870.65312648
Just get out the tears.
125
00:11:13,870.65312648 --> 00:11:16,390.65312648
Get out the screams, get it out of you.
126
00:11:16,840.65312648 --> 00:11:27,340.65312648
Okay? Now my second point, and this is a non-negotiable, like all these, yes, but this one is a non-negotiable because if you do not do this one, you are gonna be stuck.
127
00:11:27,640.65312648 --> 00:11:32,230.65312648
Stuck girl, okay? Stuck in the lies that the enemy is feeding you.
128
00:11:32,560.65312648 --> 00:11:35,590.65312648
So the second point is anchor yourself.
129
00:11:35,920.65312648 --> 00:11:37,780.65312648
In what you know to be true.
130
00:11:38,410.65312648 --> 00:11:43,870.65312648
Okay? Anger yourself in truth not what you feel, right? Feelings are meant to be felt.
131
00:11:43,900.65312648 --> 00:11:45,520.65312648
They're not meant to be followed.
132
00:11:46,360.65312648 --> 00:11:48,700.65312648
Feelings are real, but they are not facts.
133
00:11:48,700.65312648 --> 00:11:51,130.65312648
They only can lead to the facts.
134
00:11:51,550.65312648 --> 00:11:56,680.65312648
So when you're spiraling, you've got to have something stronger than your emotions.
135
00:11:56,740.65312648 --> 00:12:13,60.65312648
Okay? When you're feeling like you're inadequate or you feel like you are, you have less value, a weight, lesser value than another woman, or you're less beautiful than another woman, you, these are not you, you actually get to make the decision, like you don't have to do this.
136
00:12:13,250.65312648 --> 00:12:14,150.65312648
This is up to you.
137
00:12:14,300.65312648 --> 00:12:15,740.65312648
Life is is you got free.
138
00:12:15,740.65312648 --> 00:12:27,640.65312648
Will you have choices? You can choose to believe and to feed the lie that, that you're not as beautiful, that you're, you don't have value, that you're, you're always gonna stay in this, this place.
139
00:12:27,640.65312648 --> 00:12:34,300.65312648
You're always gonna have hard days, or you can root yourself on the word of God like Isaiah 40 29.
140
00:12:34,300.65312648 --> 00:12:38,860.65312648
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak or Psalms.
141
00:12:39,130.65312648 --> 00:12:40,120.65312648
1 47.
142
00:12:40,120.65312648 --> 00:12:40,990.65312648
Oh, I've said this one already.
143
00:12:41,20.65312648 --> 00:12:44,860.65312648
Psalms 1 47, 3 that he heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
144
00:12:45,70.65312648 --> 00:12:50,140.65312648
Jeremiah 1714 where he says, heal me Lord and I will be healed.
145
00:12:50,230.65312648 --> 00:12:52,750.65312648
Heal me Lord, and I will be healed.
146
00:12:52,990.65312648 --> 00:12:56,890.65312648
And this is a constant prayer right? When things come up.
147
00:12:57,40.65312648 --> 00:13:03,100.65312648
It's not just a heal me one time, okay? Like we've seen Jesus do many physical healings and yes.
148
00:13:03,985.65312648 --> 00:13:10,705.65312648
How amazing is our God? He does not live in a box, okay? He is not confined by what we can even think or imagine.
149
00:13:10,795.65312648 --> 00:13:21,595.65312648
Okay? He goes far beyond it, and so all the instances where he is healing people physically throughout scripture, throughout the gospels, he can heal.
150
00:13:22,415.65312648 --> 00:13:26,285.65312648
He can heal us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
151
00:13:26,555.65312648 --> 00:13:34,685.65312648
And it's every single moment where we're feeling, feeling the hurt, feeling the insecurity, feeling the betrayal, feeling the abandonment.
152
00:13:34,805.65312648 --> 00:13:36,545.65312648
It comes up feeling the trauma.
153
00:13:37,115.65312648 --> 00:13:44,345.65312648
It's like crying out to Lord, heal me, Lord, heal me in this, you say that we'll be healed by our wounds.
154
00:13:45,515.65312648 --> 00:13:49,295.65312648
And I and I, and I trust that, that I will be healed on your time.
155
00:13:50,500.65312648 --> 00:13:50,830.65312648
Okay.
156
00:13:51,520.65312648 --> 00:13:57,880.65312648
Um, so you have to have something to anchor you, a scripture to stand on, as my friend would say, you know.
157
00:13:58,210.65312648 --> 00:14:04,930.65312648
The emotions that you feel they can, they, they are very, emotions feel so powerful and they, they very much are powerful.
158
00:14:04,930.65312648 --> 00:14:08,380.65312648
They, if you allow them, they can dictate your decision making.
159
00:14:08,590.65312648 --> 00:14:14,260.65312648
And most of the time, most people live in a, in a way where their emotions do dictate their decisions.
160
00:14:14,260.65312648 --> 00:14:27,10.65312648
This is why people get obese or this is why people, um, get, get discouraged and quit business is because they feed into their emotions versus.
161
00:14:27,475.65312648 --> 00:14:30,445.65312648
The plan of action, the workout plan, or the business plan.
162
00:14:31,450.65312648 --> 00:14:43,900.65312648
Okay, so you know these emotions are, they're very powerful and they can convince you that things will never get better, that you're not good enough, or that God forgot about you, that he's not with you.
163
00:14:44,140.65312648 --> 00:14:50,740.65312648
And what does that sound like? That sounds exactly like the freaking father of lies, the enemy that wants to come in and keep you in that spot.
164
00:14:50,890.65312648 --> 00:14:54,700.65312648
And so this is, this is these specific moments where you need that anchor.
165
00:14:54,700.65312648 --> 00:14:57,880.65312648
Something that does not move even when you feel like you're.
166
00:14:58,735.65312648 --> 00:14:59,215.65312648
Excuse me.
167
00:14:59,425.65312648 --> 00:15:02,995.65312648
When you feel like you're scattered, when you feel like you're falling apart, when life doesn't make sense.
168
00:15:02,995.65312648 --> 00:15:04,15.65312648
When life hurts.
169
00:15:04,765.65312648 --> 00:15:07,405.65312648
And I need you to speak this truth out loud.
170
00:15:07,405.65312648 --> 00:15:10,795.65312648
It's not just about reading it, it's about speaking it out loud.
171
00:15:10,855.65312648 --> 00:15:12,295.65312648
Don't just read the scripture.
172
00:15:12,325.65312648 --> 00:15:13,435.65312648
You've gotta declare it.
173
00:15:13,435.65312648 --> 00:15:14,125.65312648
You've gotta pray it.
174
00:15:14,125.65312648 --> 00:15:15,445.65312648
You've gotta use it as your weapon.
175
00:15:15,655.65312648 --> 00:15:18,145.65312648
If it's hard for you to pray, play worship, music.
176
00:15:18,145.65312648 --> 00:15:19,285.65312648
Don't let that stop you.
177
00:15:19,345.65312648 --> 00:15:22,675.65312648
Worship is a form 'cause it's, it's, it's speaking and it's singing out.
178
00:15:22,675.65312648 --> 00:15:23,365.65312648
Scripture.
179
00:15:23,905.65312648 --> 00:15:28,105.65312648
Get this in the atmosphere and watch it change.
180
00:15:28,495.65312648 --> 00:15:30,955.65312648
Change the dynamic of what you're feeling.
181
00:15:31,285.65312648 --> 00:15:31,765.65312648
Okay.
182
00:15:32,185.65312648 --> 00:15:34,345.65312648
Or your perspective on it.
183
00:15:35,305.65312648 --> 00:15:35,785.65312648
Alright.
184
00:15:36,205.65312648 --> 00:15:42,145.65312648
Um, another scripture that I wanna share in this too is, and I, I encourage you to find your own scripture, right? Something that really speaks to you.
185
00:15:42,715.65312648 --> 00:15:49,795.65312648
Two Corinthians 12, nine is a beautiful one because the thing about this is like, we have to surrender it to the Lord.
186
00:15:49,795.65312648 --> 00:15:51,775.65312648
We cannot do it in our own strength.
187
00:15:51,775.65312648 --> 00:15:53,785.65312648
We cannot heal ourselves in our own strength.
188
00:15:53,785.65312648 --> 00:15:56,35.65312648
We cannot get better in our own strength.
189
00:15:56,485.65312648 --> 00:16:04,60.65312648
And it's, guess what? In two Corinthians 12, nine, it says, my grace is sufficient for you.
190
00:16:04,450.65312648 --> 00:16:10,540.65312648
Not just your neighbor, not just your mom, not just your friend, not just the girl on Instagram, but for you.
191
00:16:10,870.65312648 --> 00:16:16,330.65312648
My power, for my power is made perfect in weakness.
192
00:16:16,630.65312648 --> 00:16:21,610.65312648
So, man, if you, if I feel like I'm in the valley right now, man, I feel weak and I'm preaching to myself.
193
00:16:21,910.65312648 --> 00:16:22,690.65312648
I feel weak.
194
00:16:22,720.65312648 --> 00:16:25,360.65312648
I feel like I am down for the freaking count.
195
00:16:25,360.65312648 --> 00:16:25,960.65312648
I feel like.
196
00:16:26,905.65312648 --> 00:16:41,425.6531265
You know, it's, it's, it's, I don't know if we know how I'm going to get to a place where I, where I, where I don't deal with the things that I'm dealing with, these negative thoughts, these things that make me wanna spiral these things that make me relive the pain.
197
00:16:42,865.6531265 --> 00:16:45,535.6531265
This is when God's power is made perfect.
198
00:16:45,895.6531265 --> 00:16:47,905.6531265
And I'm sure we can go such layers.
199
00:16:47,905.6531265 --> 00:16:55,195.6531265
And you know what, this is gonna be a study that I do after this such layers in what that actually means for my powers made perfect in weakness.
200
00:16:55,795.6531265 --> 00:16:57,415.6531265
What an amazing promise.
201
00:16:58,45.6531265 --> 00:17:01,615.6531265
So let these verses, whatever verse that you need, study you.
202
00:17:01,615.6531265 --> 00:17:09,205.6531265
When your emotions try to sweep you, sweep you away and believe the lie of the enemy versus the promises of the father.
203
00:17:10,75.6531265 --> 00:17:20,815.6531265
Now, the third thing that you've gotta do is you've gotta, I, I've mentioned it in the second one, but you have to surrender to the Lord and you have to do the next loving thing.
204
00:17:21,535.6531265 --> 00:17:21,985.6531265
Okay.
205
00:17:22,75.6531265 --> 00:17:27,955.6531265
I kind of just wanna combine these, but because doing the next loving thing for yourself is surrendering it to the Lord.
206
00:17:28,315.6531265 --> 00:17:47,905.6531265
Like if you have experienced betrayal, and maybe you are, maybe you've experienced betrayal and you're trying to rebuild the relationship with your partner, um, or rebuild trust between you and a friend or something, and it's really hard, and these, these, these sparks of insecurity and jealousy in comparison comes up then.
207
00:17:47,965.6531265 --> 00:17:58,225.6531265
Uh, then you may find yourself trying to control things or to operate out of pride or trying to fix, or trying to prevent something like that from happening again.
208
00:17:58,225.6531265 --> 00:18:03,265.6531265
And you find yourself doing and working and striving in your own power, and you've gotta lay it down.
209
00:18:03,535.6531265 --> 00:18:07,195.6531265
You have to lay it down at the foot of the cross, and you have to recognize who's in charge.
210
00:18:07,615.6531265 --> 00:18:16,645.6531265
Do you want yourself to be in charge or do you want God the father who knows all things and know ev knows every single heart so deeply.
211
00:18:17,620.6531265 --> 00:18:20,230.6531265
Do you want him to be in charge? Okay.
212
00:18:21,700.6531265 --> 00:18:24,400.6531265
His scripture says that my yoke is easy.
213
00:18:24,400.6531265 --> 00:18:25,990.6531265
My burden is light.
214
00:18:26,470.6531265 --> 00:18:37,90.6531265
Not saying that we won't experience burdens, we won't, we won't feel burdens, but the Lord is our, our shepherd.
215
00:18:37,90.6531265 --> 00:18:42,850.6531265
He's the one that went to the cross and finished the work so that we wouldn't have to carry our own burdens.
216
00:18:43,270.6531265 --> 00:18:44,950.6531265
Okay? We can lay them on him.
217
00:18:45,820.6531265 --> 00:18:47,50.6531265
It's a beautiful promise.
218
00:18:47,860.6531265 --> 00:18:58,330.6531265
So instead of trying to fix everything and feel like for things to not be out of control, you have to be in every single detail and be in control of everything.
219
00:18:58,930.6531265 --> 00:18:59,560.6531265
Surrender.
220
00:18:59,560.6531265 --> 00:19:03,310.6531265
Let go of that control and just take the very next gentle step.
221
00:19:03,310.6531265 --> 00:19:05,110.6531265
So the first one is definitely surrendering it.
222
00:19:05,140.6531265 --> 00:19:07,150.6531265
Okay? That's the first step that you have to take.
223
00:19:07,270.6531265 --> 00:19:14,425.6531265
And then secondly, right, you ask yourself, what is the next loving thing that I could do? Okay.
224
00:19:14,665.6531265 --> 00:19:17,815.6531265
Maybe it is washing your face, doing your full skincare routine.
225
00:19:17,815.6531265 --> 00:19:20,875.6531265
Maybe it is doing an everything shower, going for a long walk.
226
00:19:21,25.6531265 --> 00:19:22,435.6531265
Journaling.
227
00:19:22,465.6531265 --> 00:19:23,65.6531265
Yes.
228
00:19:23,95.6531265 --> 00:19:23,575.6531265
Journaling.
229
00:19:23,575.6531265 --> 00:19:31,825.6531265
Because I promise you, whenever you pick up your journal in a year from now, you're gonna look back at this day and you are gonna feel so much compassion for this version of you.
230
00:19:31,975.6531265 --> 00:19:35,395.6531265
So that's another sign of feel compassion for yourself right now.
231
00:19:35,935.6531265 --> 00:19:37,45.6531265
Okay? Like, wow.
232
00:19:37,615.6531265 --> 00:19:38,995.6531265
Dani was going through a hard day.
233
00:19:39,295.6531265 --> 00:19:40,225.6531265
I'm so proud of her.
234
00:19:40,945.6531265 --> 00:19:42,775.6531265
Journal girlfriend, you'll think yourself later.
235
00:19:43,195.6531265 --> 00:19:50,155.6531265
You know, maybe it's making tea, just having time with, with your tea and like your candle and your, your, your, your calming music.
236
00:19:50,155.6531265 --> 00:19:52,345.6531265
Like take that space.
237
00:19:52,855.6531265 --> 00:20:00,925.6531265
You're, I mean, is it sitting in the sun for five minutes? You know, don't underestimate the power of these small actions and doing the thing that you tell yourself you're gonna do.
238
00:20:00,925.6531265 --> 00:20:05,665.6531265
So tell yourself you're gonna do something, whether it's taking an everything shower and then do it, or.
239
00:20:06,25.6531265 --> 00:20:15,25.6531265
Have, make dinner, get creative with dinner, make a new recipe, whatever it is that is gonna bring you a little bit of joy that is going to showcase love to yourself.
240
00:20:15,595.6531265 --> 00:20:24,115.6531265
Like ask yourself, what is, what would I really want my friend to do for me right now? What do, what would, what is it? How would I wanna be served right now? And do it for yourself.
241
00:20:24,715.6531265 --> 00:20:29,155.6531265
That is an extension of, of showing love for yourself, where you really need it.
242
00:20:29,155.6531265 --> 00:20:31,945.6531265
You need, you need this extra love on a hard day.
243
00:20:32,455.6531265 --> 00:20:34,525.6531265
Okay? Um.
244
00:20:34,975.6531265 --> 00:20:42,955.6531265
So moving to the fourth thing, right, and this is, was this is actually one of the things that you can do for yourself and I recommend doing for, for yourself.
245
00:20:43,315.6531265 --> 00:20:49,615.6531265
So I'm just going to wrap this into a number four, but you've got to let somebody in.
246
00:20:50,635.6531265 --> 00:21:10,795.6531265
Okay, you, you've got to tell somebody what you're going through, what you're struggling with, and I recommend somebody that you trust, right? Somebody that's not gonna sit and sulk with you, but somebody that is going to provide wisdom to you, somebody that is going to speak life to you, somebody that is going to speak to the lie, rebuke the lie, and re give you truth to stand on.
247
00:21:11,365.6531265 --> 00:21:11,785.6531265
Okay.
248
00:21:12,205.6531265 --> 00:21:25,615.6531265
Whenever you're sitting in isolation, especially on your hard days, when you're just wanting to wrap up, when you're wanting to just, just excuse yourself from like, the realities of life, whether it's you're, you're sitting into doom scrolling or, or watching tv.
249
00:21:26,590.6531265 --> 00:21:29,890.6531265
Um, or, um, or just sleeping all day.
250
00:21:29,890.6531265 --> 00:21:36,340.6531265
Like you've got to get out of this place where you're isolating yourself because the enemy loves secrecy.
251
00:21:36,340.6531265 --> 00:21:37,390.6531265
He thrives.
252
00:21:37,390.6531265 --> 00:21:43,540.6531265
When you don't have any godly community around you, when you don't have somebody there that's gonna encourage you, that's gonna speak truth over you.
253
00:21:43,930.6531265 --> 00:21:53,710.6531265
You know, this is why I believe James five 16 tells us to confess our sins to one another, and that the prayer of a right, of a righteous person, um, accomplishes much.
254
00:21:53,740.6531265 --> 00:21:54,700.6531265
It's because.
255
00:21:55,585.6531265 --> 00:22:03,775.6531265
When and confessing your sins is not just confessing your sins, but it is actually, if we go deep into it, and this is not what this is about, but confessing your sins.
256
00:22:03,775.6531265 --> 00:22:08,875.6531265
Like anytime we, we believe something that is not of God, that is not true.
257
00:22:08,875.6531265 --> 00:22:19,885.6531265
Believing these lies that we're not good enough, et cetera, we are coming in agreement with the enemy, okay? And that is opposing God's commands, God's truth.
258
00:22:20,410.6531265 --> 00:22:22,60.6531265
The word of what he says about you.
259
00:22:22,240.6531265 --> 00:22:30,280.6531265
Okay? So confessing these things, confessing what you're going through, the whatever deep feelings that you're, you're feeling right now.
260
00:22:30,490.6531265 --> 00:22:35,740.6531265
Sharing it with somebody who is going to encourage you in that, or even just sit with you in it.
261
00:22:36,280.6531265 --> 00:22:45,790.6531265
Okay? And even like sharing, being able to share, there's something powerful when you share, right? Confessing when you share, it brings a level of healing to you actually.
262
00:22:46,330.6531265 --> 00:22:48,190.6531265
So all of it is very purposeful.
263
00:22:49,15.6531265 --> 00:22:59,455.6531265
So whether it's a trusted friend, a mentor, a therapist, somebody inside the community, even if you're a part of other online communities or if you need one, come on over to the healing circle.
264
00:22:59,755.6531265 --> 00:23:03,295.6531265
Like, don't walk through this alone, okay? Don't believe that you're a burden.
265
00:23:03,295.6531265 --> 00:23:04,135.6531265
You are not a burden.
266
00:23:04,135.6531265 --> 00:23:08,305.6531265
You are a blessing and you're vulnerability could actually help somebody else heal too.
267
00:23:08,485.6531265 --> 00:23:11,550.6531265
And most, more times than not, it actually does.
268
00:23:12,295.6531265 --> 00:23:14,515.6531265
So don't hold off on that.
269
00:23:14,995.6531265 --> 00:23:28,240.6531265
Um, just kind of like a recap, right? Number one, you've got to understand that you, you are human, so don't beat yourself up for it, okay? Don't feel shame for what you're feeling.
270
00:23:28,660.6531265 --> 00:23:33,190.6531265
Number two, you've gotta anchor yourself in what you know to be true, not in what you feel.
271
00:23:33,820.6531265 --> 00:23:36,370.6531265
Number three, do the next loving thing for yourself.
272
00:23:36,370.6531265 --> 00:23:46,90.6531265
That first step is of course, surrendering it to God, laying it at the foot of the cross, and then two, it's something else that is go that the way that you wanna be served.
273
00:23:46,150.6531265 --> 00:23:47,410.6531265
Do that for yourself today.
274
00:23:48,220.6531265 --> 00:23:50,440.6531265
And then the fourth thing, you've gotta let somebody in.
275
00:23:50,440.6531265 --> 00:23:52,390.6531265
You've gotta share where you're going through.
276
00:23:52,570.6531265 --> 00:23:54,250.6531265
And so if you need a space to share.
277
00:23:54,955.6531265 --> 00:23:56,875.6531265
Come on over to the Healing Circle.

Healing Circle.
280
00:24:01,315.6531265 --> 00:24:07,45.6531265
Introduce yourself, share a little bit of your heart, and I'd love to speak into that, and I'm sure other women would as well.
281
00:24:07,495.6531265 --> 00:24:11,605.6531265
And, you know, give yourself grace at the end of this day, girl.
282
00:24:11,755.6531265 --> 00:24:15,535.6531265
Okay? Give, can't be superwoman every single day all the time.
283
00:24:15,535.6531265 --> 00:24:17,155.6531265
You can't be everything for everybody.
284
00:24:17,425.6531265 --> 00:24:23,5.6531265
You gotta, you gotta give yourself the same love that you extend to others and give yourself that, that grace.
285
00:24:23,950.6531265 --> 00:24:25,420.6531265
Take it one day at a time.
286
00:24:25,600.6531265 --> 00:24:34,930.6531265
1% better every day, and that 1% better may look like crying for an hour or two, and then anchoring yourself in truth, going to God.
287
00:24:35,350.6531265 --> 00:24:41,740.6531265
Right? And most of all, don't forget that God is not waiting for you to get over it.
288
00:24:42,10.6531265 --> 00:24:44,680.6531265
He's actually just sitting there with you.
289
00:24:45,340.6531265 --> 00:24:46,450.6531265
He is near.
290
00:24:46,450.6531265 --> 00:24:52,240.6531265
He is always near he and even more near 'cause He says God is, is near and close to the broken hearted.
291
00:24:52,450.6531265 --> 00:24:56,200.6531265
He is present and he's gonna carry you through this.
292
00:24:56,200.6531265 --> 00:24:58,180.6531265
This is just part of your testimony.
293
00:24:58,780.6531265 --> 00:24:59,740.6531265
I love you girl.
294
00:25:00,310.6531265 --> 00:25:11,800.6531265
I see you and I'm proud of you for pressing play on this episode and seeking out some wisdom, some help, some accountability to help you get through this hard day.

Okay? Until next time.
296
00:25:14,635.6531265 --> 00:25:18,925.6531265
Stay tender, stay brave and just take it one day at a time.
297
00:25:19,435.6531265 --> 00:25:21,55.6531265
Okay? Love you so much.
298
00:25:21,145.6531265 --> 00:25:22,165.6531265
Well see you soon.

This is the main way we can get this message out to our girlfriends all around the world.
