It's just a few minutes of encouragement. I wanna come on for a minute and encourage you out there. Sometimes we don't think we're good enough. We see people around us and we think, oh boy, they're great, this person's great, that person's great. How can I ever measure up to this one or that one? But if we can only stop to think that no one's alike. The world would be a very boring place if everyone was alike. I used to be so down on myself, I'd never forget it. I used to always just I didn't like myself a lot growing up because some of the kids would, you know, make fun about different things, this, that, and as I was so down on myself. I'm not gonna go into that right now. It's another podcast. My sister told me one day, she said, Gina, you're so beautiful. You remind me of the butterfly. And I asked her to explain that because I didn't understand what she meant. She said, you know, the butterfly has beautiful colors on its back. It's beautiful. They can't see that, but other people can see the butterfly. And I thought about it, butterflies are really adorable when you see them. She said, but they don't know they're beautiful like that. That's the way the Lord made them. And she said that you remind me of a butterfly. You can't always see your own words or your own beauty, but other people can. Sure, you got those that'll try to tear you down, but you got just as many that try to lift you up. She said, Go for it. Go forth in the name of the Lord. And there's no turning back for you. She said, I see great things ahead in your future. She said this on her dying bed. This was like a month before she died when she said these things to me. So I'm here to encourage you today. Don't worry about trying to be like this on her, this on her this or that one. Be yourself, be the best you that you can be. And if you are an honest person and a person that's trying to do the right thing, you'll be just fine.
