About Working Hard & Still Letting God Lead with Rylee Jackson

Trying to hold everything together on your own can look like strength from the outside and feel like panic on the inside. Rylee Jackson returns to talk with us as she approaches her last year at Sam Houston State, studies criminal justice, and starts mapping out what law school could look like. Along the way, we get real about the financial and emotional weight of working while earning a degree and how quickly life can change when you move, lose momentum, or can’t land the job you expected. 

We talk through what Rylee learned in the grind: paying for school month after month, staying steady when money feels tight, and not spiraling when the job market says “no” over and over. She shares why patience is more than a virtue when you’re trying to be independent, and why rest can be a gift from God instead of a reason to feel guilty. If you’ve been carrying pressure that sounds like “it’s all on me,” this conversation offers language and perspective to release control without losing drive. 

We also dig into practical success at work: confidence that doesn’t depend on perfection, asking questions until you truly retain the answer, learning from mistakes, and growing into skills you’re still building. From there, we move into deeper ground: trauma, trigger points, compassion, and how a soft heart needs wisdom and boundaries. We close with Scripture, prayer, and a reminder from 2 Timothy 1:7 that fear doesn’t get the final word.

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Girls, I'm so happy that today I get to have my granddaughter Riley Jackson back on the show. You might have seen an earlier uh visit with her when she was just getting ready to go to college, actually. And we talked about like, you know, things that she was thinking about at that time. Uh well, now she is about to start her last year of college. Um, at this

Riley’s College Update

SPEAKER_00 0:30

point, she's thinking she's gonna go to law school after that. And so lots of things have changed. Um, and so I thought we could just catch up and uh get to know where Riley was. And so I'm very happy you're here, Riley. Would you like to introduce yourself again in case people are seeing you for the first time? Whether you want to say just like say just tell them a little bit about yourself.

SPEAKER_01 0:55

Um I'm Riley. I'm from Winlule, such as Denise's. Um I go to Sam Houston State. I'm studying criminal justice and looking to go to law school. Um, I'm in my almost in my last year. I you work? I do. I work very well. I do. I work most all I do is work in school. Um I worked at ATB previously, and now I'm either going to be starting at Academy or all these soon. So she's in the middle of a job hunt. Yeah. Because she did move. You moved. Yes. I moved from, I was living in Livingston with my Aunt Kayla and Uncle Chance um just to get some of those expenses out of the way so that I could pay for school first. But now that I've got my feet under me and it's easier to save money and pay for both, I moved to Huntsville so that I could finish school completely.

SPEAKER_00 1:55

So yeah, and just have that school like in the town experience too. Yeah, that's

Moving To Huntsville And Job Hunt

SPEAKER_00 2:01

good. Well, so you know, Riley, you had to you had to work to go to school. And I feel like that's such a good story because it wasn't an it felt impossible in the beginning, even that even though you already had a place to live and you weren't paying for that, just everything else, tuition, food, things that you just needed, it felt impossible at the beginning, didn't it? Yes. Well, so talk to me a little bit about like how you felt then and how it's made you feel now that to realize you have basically put yourself through school and um done this.

SPEAKER_01 2:41

Yeah, it's crazy to think about because at first I wasn't I was paying fifteen hundred dollars a month for three months or for six months out of the year, and I was barely making sixteen hundred dollars a month. So it was literally all going towards school payments. So it is crazy to see that like I hadn't fallen behind at all. Or sh like obviously there was a struggle, but it wasn't there was never a

Paying For College On Your Own

SPEAKER_01 3:10

time that I like had to ask for money or anything like that. So other than just recently, my parents in KK have been helping me get back up on my feet while I don't have a job because Huntsville's job market is terrible.

SPEAKER_00 3:23

So yeah. So, and and that's like you know, you say your parents in KK, and they are people help you. Uh, but you know, that the thing that I trust in and that I know you trust in is that it's not even people that you're relying on.

SPEAKER_02 3:39

It's gone.

SPEAKER_00 3:41

And you told me, like after you moved to Huntsville, and you were like, um didn't have a job right away because you thought you'd just transfer from H E B to H E Business. And it didn't happen, yeah. Okay, so when in God's plan, so what did you learn going through that circumstance of you got to Huntsville, you've been working constantly, and you got to Huntsville and you worked.

SPEAKER_01 4:07

Uh for one, I had to learn that it's not in my timing and that I'm not in control of everything. I tend to with school and work and being so busy and never having time to just stop and think about it. I tend to just be like, oh, I'm in control. Like I am paying for things, I'm very independent, but I can't ever be independent from God because then there's just nothing, you're not standing on anything.

Rejection Teaches Patience And Rest

SPEAKER_01 4:36

So he taught me that for one, patience. It was rejected. Yes, every time, all the time. Yeah, he taught me that he taught me perseverance because I went into multiple places multiple times and kept getting rejected. Um, not even because I didn't have the skills or whatever, just because they weren't looking.

SPEAKER_00 4:58

There are so many people that have jobs that are even on the jobs.

SPEAKER_01 5:04

So patience was a big one, and he taught me that rest matters and that it doesn't like not to feel guilty in the rest. Because if you're doing all you can to get that job or get into that school or whatever you're doing, if you're doing everything you can, then that's all there is. Like it's up to him from there. You can't force your way into anywhere. So the rest that he's giving you is from him, it's not laziness or you not doing what you need to be doing.

SPEAKER_00 5:34

You know, when you first moved in with Kayla, um, she coached you quite a bit on just getting a job and then how you acted in the job. And so, you know, I think those would be good lessons to share with girls that are out there that are younger or maybe never have had to work and now are working. Like what you learned about work, you know, and about about the way you treat that position

Confidence And Learning On The Job

SPEAKER_00 6:04

that makes you succeed in that position, not just be an employee, but succeed. I think that would be helpful.

SPEAKER_01 6:10

Um wow, I sit here and think about it, not just gonna go that migrant. I think just being strong in whatever position you are you're in, and knowing that like nobody else is gonna get it for you. Like you're not nobody else is pulling you out of that slump you're in, nobody else is coming, nobody else is coming to save you other than you and God. So if you don't trust in him and you don't trust in yourself, and you have to have confidence in yourself because if you don't have confidence in yourself, your employer, your partners at work, your coworkers, whatever, nobody else is gonna have confidence in you either. Because if you see somebody come in who has zero confidence in themselves, they have nothing to bring to the table for you. So I've really had to learn to be slightly overconfident in my abilities and my skills, because one thing KK always says is you can embellish your skills because you can always learn to be that good.

SPEAKER_00 7:17

I love that. So I would say when I went into a new job, there was never a job that I went into that I already knew everything, of course. Um there's always so I felt like I was drowning when I first started. I couldn't get it, and then just like three months later, I remember thinking, Oh, I know this job.

SPEAKER_01 7:37

I will do this. Yes, exactly. And it isn't just that.

SPEAKER_00 7:41

Of anybody if the desire is there to learn that position, you will rise up to that level, no matter how much you do or don't know.

SPEAKER_01 7:55

Even experts ask questions. So you're never like going, I got a management position with H E B about three months into being with them in Livingston. And you never you're never gonna know everything. So I was like, oh yeah, I can do that, it's totally fine. You ask a question the first time, just make sure you're retaining the information.

SPEAKER_00 8:22

But I feel like I want people to ask and ask and ask. Well, yeah, because it takes a while to learn it, and so if you don't know it well enough, don't be shy. No, yeah, about saying, okay, go over this with me one more time, go over this with me one more time. And once you've got it, you've got it, and you'll be training people, yeah. Which you ended up doing.

SPEAKER_01 8:42

And you just have to be confident in everything you do, even if you don't even feel like yeah, even if you're second guessing what you're doing, as long as you're confident in that, then you're gonna be fine. And you have to be confident in the fact that if you make a mistake, you can fix it too. So, like, my biggest thing learning bookkeeping and all of that was like if I make a mistake, I would make my manager let me sit up there and look through everything again. And then after an hour of looking through everything, if I could not find my mistake, he would come up there and help me because he could spot it from a mile away. But then people started asking me to come up there and recount the tail or the bank or whatever, and I'd be like, Oh, there's your mistake. Yeah. So I just uh for me, I definitely have to learn from my own mistakes. Like I have to figure it out for myself or I won't learn. Like if somebody just comes up here and is like, oh, do you see how this is your problem? No, I don't see how that's my problem, but I could see it if you let me sit there and go over and over and over again.

SPEAKER_00 9:49

Well, because we all well, there are some people that learn the very first time, but they are very few and far between, and I'm not that person. I think I learn pretty quickly very fast. I learn very quickly. For me, it takes 13 times. I feel like that I have this story when I was trying to learn about operating systems where I read the stupid book 13 times before anything made any sense at all. And then all of a sudden, one thing didn't. I was like, wait, everything started to click. And then everything started clicking. It was really that persistence in there. And so in my mind, I just think, well, it's gonna take me 13 times. So if it only takes me two, I'm so happy. You're happy, you're pregnant.

SPEAKER_01 10:30

It gets good, at least circumstantial too, like math. Yeah, I mean, it took me all the way to my freshman year in college to even understand basic algebra. And then it finally, and I had to teach myself. Yeah, I just had to have the drive to teach myself. But like bookkeeping and managing, it just comes really different, yeah. But it just comes very naturally. Like I can learn, I can watch somebody do something and I can do it.

SPEAKER_00 10:55

That's awesome. That's awesome. And I think that's true too, is that like hearing it and seeing it and different different things, but then when you get to do it or watch somebody do it and then do it, yeah, that's when I learn too. Yeah, and that's most people learn that way, you know. I that that's really a treat that to say.

SPEAKER_01 11:18

I think most people learn easy.

SPEAKER_00 11:19

Um, so I just like you and I, I think right after our mission trip is when we did our first podcast, and and we both love the Lord and we trust him. But what would you say um if somebody's like feeling like everything's on me? I have to do this. I'm um, and if I don't, I'm gonna not survive in my life. If I can't take care of myself, what would you say to them right now that maybe could help them? Because I feel like you've been in places like that where you felt that.

SPEAKER_01 11:53

I think and what'd you say about yourself? And what I grew up in,

Letting Go Of Control

SPEAKER_01 12:00

that was my only the only thing I thought is that I was the only one that was gonna get me through it. Because so many of the adults in my life had failed to help me through it, and nobody was there to just talk to other than you. But well, I mean, you don't accept that. No, I wasn't there, but you weren't there at all in the situation. Yes, that's right. Um, but I think a lot of it is just like if six-year-old me was the only one getting me through that, I would not be here. So who was getting you through it? God, yeah, he was the only one. And he was the thing, it wasn't me at all. Like I would would not have survived. Yeah, and still get you through it. Yeah, and I look back on things and like on situations I was placed in that I never should have been in, and it actually blows my mind that like I didn't this is gonna sound so morbid, but like I didn't die then.

SPEAKER_00 12:59

Like it's amazing to see that how much he worked in that because there was no way, there was absolutely no way. Well, and there were a lot of prayers going up for you that were they were very evident. So that's I mean, I just think that that's something that we want you guys to know is like you're never it doesn't matter if you if you don't have people that you can rely on, your God loves you and he really says he will never leave you or forsake you. And I believe that from my life, from watching Riley's life, where I had very little uh control. I wanted to have control, but I have no control. I still want control, yeah, and I still want not whatever you do. But but you know what? If all we have is the Lord's presence in our life, we have a lot, we have so much, and we want you to have that. So, whatever state.

SPEAKER_01 13:58

I think, yeah, I agree, and I think a lot of people that feel the need to have so much control have probably had some um certain circumstances that are traumatic. And I think you just have to take the time to look back on those more often and realize like, if you get in that state of like, who's gonna get me through this? Because I'm the only one, and then you look back and you're like, well, that for sure wasn't me getting me through that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:25

I mean that's yeah, when you can see his him in the past, so sometimes just looking back at you. And but if you can't, then I'm just gonna remind you that he is right there. All you have to do is just turn and he's gonna be there and he's gonna rescue you. He's waiting sometimes on you just to choose because he won't choose for you. He gives you the choice um to be there. Um, and but he never leaves you. He's waiting just for you to say, Okay, I'm ready. Yeah, I want you. I change you. Yeah. Um, so um, like you're you've got visions and dreams, you wanna go further than you tell me. Like, I'm like would be actually be a doctorate.

SPEAKER_01 15:11

I when I can't just dream. That just came that realization. Yeah, it was actually a a little bit ago. We were talking about me and my roommates actually, we're talking about how so many of the professors at the school have doctorates. And and I was like, imagine having a doctorate and then coming back to teach at Sand Me State City, which like don't get me wrong, they have a purpose and amazing, but like there's some of them that actually got a doctorate and that they didn't do anything with it. Yeah, and so it was just like that's crazy. I was like, I never want to be somebody who goes and gets all these things and then doesn't you like do anything, do something, like make a difference in the world with them. Yeah, and then my roommate was like, Well, you're gonna have a doctorate, and I was like, wait, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 15:59

I really thought of that. I had not, yeah, it's pretty cool. So, yes, you're gonna get a lot of education in the world, and and I'm just gonna say, and that's good because of the field you're going into, but that education in the world does not replace your knowledge and your heart for the Lord and his leading in your life, and um, so we're gonna trust in that no matter where you go or what you do, because that's gotten you through when you were six, and when you were 68, and when you were 900, yeah. No, really, like those, it it he is the one that sustains us, and we both know that. And I feel so confident. We were talking about like stony places in our heart, you know. Yeah, and um, you know, that we get those places from those herds and our flesh trying to control how we respond in the future to the same stimulus, I guess. Yeah, and um we all have them. We

Prayer That Softens Hearts And Builds Wisdom

SPEAKER_00 17:03

all have those places that are hard and hardened. Is somebody out there? Somebody's out there, dropping package up. Oh, okay, fine. Uh she can edit that out, but but those hard places uh really uh can affect the way that we love and the way we serve in the earth. And um though we really don't want to feel that hurt again. Yeah, are we willing to let God heal those spots and bring back that soft heart that's like his heart, you know? I think you're gonna jump.

SPEAKER_01 17:42

I think sometimes for me, I don't think God really gives me a choice in healing those hurt parts. I think he's like, you're I'm gonna heal them and you're gonna push through and it's fine because I'm here. But I think a lot of times I in my head, like my heart, I don't ever want to lose the compassion I have for people because that's something that you don't see a lot with the things that I've been through. Most people don't come out with a lot of compassion, they do harden their hearts. But like I was telling you earlier, sometimes it makes me want to cry. Sometimes I think I would rather harden my heart just because so often people use that to their advantage instead of instead of utilizing it, they just use it to their advantage and take advantage and maybe take advantage of you.

SPEAKER_00 18:34

Yes. So, and I was talking about like, you know, God wants us to have a soft heart, compassion for people, but God also teaches us wisdom, and he shows us how to care about people, but not allow their words to offend us. He he tells you don't be offended because that will harden your heart. Um, don't uh let someone's their problems be the thing that causes you a problem. If you are already fully accepted and loved by our father, and and that's the reason that I talk so much about loving the Lord your God with all your heart first, because if you know him and you really know him and you listen for his voice to lead you, um, and you let him heal those hurts in you, you become so strong and powerful in the earth. You care about people and you can and you want wisdom to help them, but you also accept that they have the same choice that you've had. Yeah. I feel like change their lives or not to. Um, you can, but I also think when we pray, when we pray the word of God, it makes it so hard for people to stay in a rugged spot and make that choice. Like they start get laborers start coming to the harvest of their lives, they're surrounded by the word, by events that open up doors where the enemy would have closed off the wall for them before. Now it's opening all the time, and they're starting to say, wait, there might be hope here.

SPEAKER_01 20:24

Yeah. One of my favorite things I've seen, um, like that has to do with prayer, is and I've seen it so many times because I think it really is a huge thing in my life, is like maybe God keeps those people on your mind because you're the only one praying for them.

SPEAKER_00 20:42

Praise God. And and sometimes just we don't always see the results of those seeds we're planting with our prayers, but sometimes we do, right? And that's like so exciting when we get to see what God's doing and we know it's Him, and not anything else could have done that. Like, I love that. So you have an anointing, you have an anointing for effective prayer. God has given that to you when you pray. Your prayer is effective, it yanks down the strongholds, it plants seeds in good ground and roots that go deep in his living water, in his word. And so don't, I mean, I love that you said he gave you like a gift, but it's an anointing. It's like the oil of joy for the spirit of heaviness. So when you see that spirit of heaviness and your joy comes out, and you speak this word that God has for them out, even if it's just quietly in your own room, you're speaking it for them, it's gonna change something because God's word always does. It cuts asunder the work of the enemy in their lives. And and so that's very powerful, girl. I love that. I love that. I'm glad that that. Said that, so I could just remind you that you're powerful, you really are. You have gone through some things, and you're gonna go through some more because that's walking through this earth. He said in the world, we're gonna have trouble. Worldly things, yeah. The world's always coming against us. You know, who controls the world is uh in the air, and he is out to kill, still, and destroy us, but he is not the final word, Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit, that's the final word, and they're here to give us life and life abundantly, right? And we get to give that out to others through our words, through our prayers, through um the way we respond to the hurts, right? If we can get to the point, and I am a lot better at this, I do not hold on to offenses anymore like I used to. I used to get so mad when I'm you know, but but he's the one that's done that in my life, not me. Like I couldn't take that out. But as we continue to just turn it over to him, well, that hurt, father. It hurt, it hurt. I don't like that. And then he just said, see them. Yeah, he's gonna show you the reason that it happened. Yeah, that's it. See their heart and see what's going on in their heart. It wasn't about you, yeah. It really isn't about you, it's about their heart that has been hurt and or doesn't understand or doesn't have truth in it. So pray for those things, whatever I tell you to pray for. And we do.

SPEAKER_01 23:34

One of my favorite things about you said that Satan is in the air. And one of my favorite things is that just to remind myself, is that Satan doesn't attack those who have him in his heart. Yeah, in in our hearts, yeah. He doesn't Satan attacks those who have God, who are already standing with him. That's exactly right. Know who God is and have a relationship with him. That's who Satan's going after. Yeah. The other ones are already heading towards so you just remind yourself that like he is after you. All these bad things are happening to you for a greater purpose. And God's gonna use those and show somebody else. Yeah. That like I shared my testimony a few days uh a few days ago, a few years ago at um is a canon media. Oh yeah. Arms of Hope.

SPEAKER_00 24:28

Which is awesome.

SPEAKER_01 24:29

Which it is with Cyber Street Church. Those the few years that I've been changed my life every time. Um, but I just felt this insane calling to share my testimony one night at the campfire. And after sharing my testimony, they each and every one of those kids came up to me and told me that they would have never guessed the way I carried myself, they would have never guessed that any of that had happened. Not in a million years. And so it just reminded me that even though I have all this hurt in my heart and all this trauma behind me, that it is truly behind me, that God doesn't let me allow me to carry myself wounded and hurt. He guards that in my heart, and we talk about it, and I talk about it with Nisi, or but he's he doesn't allow you to show that, not show that hurt, but he doesn't allow you to appear hurt and wounded and broken and beaten. Because he's healed, because he heals you and he uses those.

SPEAKER_00 25:34

And he's healing, like every, like we talked about trigger points a little bit today. Um, and all of us have those, you know. Um because all of us, all of us, even if you think you've lived in perfect circumstances in a perfect life, we all have trauma from things in our life, and that trauma causes us to react in a lot of situations until we recognize it. I mean, I I was in a car

Healing Trauma And Trigger Points

SPEAKER_00 26:04

accident years ago, and for years after that, every time a car would get close to the back of me, I would like feel this anxiety rising up until I realized it. And I was like, no, like no, this is not what God put in. God's name. Yeah, he said, don't be anxious for anything, but in everything, give thanks. So I gave thanks. I said, Lord, I give thanks because you protect me when I'm driving down the road. You protected me even in that accident. You protected Anthony. We didn't get hurt. Kayla wasn't in the backseat when that accident occurred. Um, so when when we remember that God is in our life, then we have a tool to take care of the trigger points, the trauma. But until we recognize that, it still can affect us, you know. And we have to speak to it according to God's word, not according to our own. You know, I do think that you can talk to people and they can help you to deal with stuff, but really, I think the only thing that long-term changes you is the word of God in your life. So it's nothing else is gonna change. No, that it's not gonna change your heart or strengthen you, but talking about it is great. Yeah, because it needs to be off your chest to somebody who can say valid.

SPEAKER_01 27:18

Physically talk back.

SPEAKER_00 27:19

Yeah, like well, and say, like it's confess your sins one to another. Like when we confess what we went through, that is powerful because somebody can say you shouldn't have had to go through that. That was not okay. But now you are victorious because now you're walking in the power that God's put in your life.

SPEAKER_01 27:40

And it truly does empower you. I Missi's read it, but I shared in one of my college courses this semester. I shared just like a little bit of it was for an intercultural presentation. So it's just a little bit of the culture I grew up in, I guess. And afterwards it was very empowering. You just don't realize how healing it is for your own mentality until you speak it, or even just damn it. Write it, or just to let go, because you can't carry that all by yourself.

SPEAKER_00 28:12

When it lives inside your brain, guess who's talking to you all the time and telling you you're condemned, you're horrible, or you're broken.

SPEAKER_01 28:21

You're broken because that happened.

SPEAKER_00 28:22

Yes, you're broken.

SPEAKER_01 28:23

You deserve that.

SPEAKER_00 28:24

You yeah, you did something, and there's no way. No, there's no way and that's the thing. Like, you know, even when I was a pregnant 16-year-old for years, I was so condemned, and now I look at a 16-year-old and think, how could they even condemn somebody? Yeah, there's no way to condemn them because they're so young and they don't know what they're doing yet. And so all I want to do is protect them and show them the things that maybe could protect them from getting hurt, like I was hurt. But when I was young, that was like, well, I'm broken and dirty, and I'm never gonna be able to be healed, and I'm never gonna be able to be whole again. But that was a lie. He's Satan is such a dang liar. It's really easy.

SPEAKER_01 29:11

He, I mean, he's really good at manipulating those thoughts, those thoughts for yeah, for the longest time. I held guilt that was never mine.

SPEAKER_00 29:20

Yeah, and when you can let it go, praise God. Like then he takes it, and all of that stuff where you were hurt, he turns it into something where you become this strong warrior for those who are carrying the same thing. Either carrying those things or in jeopardy of having to endure those things. It changes who you become, and and it's he needs to be scared of us.

SPEAKER_01 29:50

I mean, even just talking to people when I don't fully know what I'm talking about. Yeah. Like the Holy Spirit, I think, talks through me a ton because I can be talking to somebody about the same exact situation I'm in, and I'll say something, and I'm like, yes, girl, you're not even I'm like, I'm like, you have to confess that to God. You have to let go and give it, let go and let God. And then I sit there and I'm thinking about the conversation. I'm like, girl, you're not letting God. But then people come back to me and they're like, that what you sent to me changed everything. And I have to be like, hey, that was not me. That was fully the Holy Spirit because we haven't met God.

SPEAKER_00 30:33

Yeah, and he convicts you in the same thing. I feel like we were talking about that, like how you learned something at H E B and then you turned around and taught. And I've always felt like teaching is the way to learn. So, like while we're sharing, and you know, some of you know me well. So when I've talked to you and encouraged you, I can tell you I've felt the same way Riley did, like I'm encouraging you. And at the same time, as God's pouring in that for you, He is reminding me, oh my gosh, Denise Jackson, let go of that. Amen. So if you're feeling that way, if you've been talking to somebody and you feel that conviction, we just want you to know, yeah, that's the Lord. He's talking to you, he is uh a very present help, he's a very present help in your time of need, and he will never let you go. I can't believe we're already at the end of this podcast. I want to say thank you to you. You were just in town for a short time and we got to do this, so I'm so grateful. Um, you know, watching your generations grow up and love the Lord and have the word in their mouth. What's your favorite?

But the Lord does not give us a spirit of fear, but power, love, and a sound mind. Praise God. And that's true. He gives us that. And and the reason I asked her favorite part, her favorite thing. So when we were little, she used to praise that test. Eve every, all 16 of her grandkids know that verse by heart. And it seems that some of us just left a word out of that. Like mine, every time, every time growing up, it I always left power out

because I never felt powerful.

SPEAKER_00 32:18

And so then I was like, that's why she loves to ask about that verse. And I can tell you that I have seen other people, not just grandchildren, I'll say, Do you know this verse? And they'll say, Oh yes, and they'll leave out the thing that they're being attacked in. And it really, when she was having dementia, Alzheimer's, we really don't know what that was, but she was losing memories. The thing she would forget every time was a sound mind. And then your other grandmother, Shannon, when she was going through neuropathy and we were praying, she left that out. And another friend who was having problems with that was leaving it out. Now she never leaves it out. She says it so strongly, and I know that that's gonna change what she's struggling with right now. If you're not remembering that full verse and one part is being left out, that's the thing you need to go to God with because Satan is trying to lie to you and tell you that's not for you. But uh, I remember when you did that little uh sign for me, which is still. I had to write power in it. She pictures. She wrote the verse, wrote it out for lower, and I was like, wait, you left that out again. And so she went back and wrote that, and it's still on my wall in my in my hallway, in my imagination station. Because sometimes we have to visual, we have to see it, what God has for us before we can receive it. And so that's there, and it's blowing, that wind is blowing from that girl's mouth. The Holy Spirit is blowing that into you and me and everybody who walks into that hallway. Okay, well, I want to pray. And if you want to add anything, just feel free for these girls. Father, I just thank you for this another conversation where we just got to talk about the goodness of you in the land of the living. We're so thankful for that. I ask you to really be a very present help that these girls see today as they stop and rest and spend time with you. They hear your voice and they know it's you. And they also recognize the voice of the stranger and they tell that stranger in Jesus' name to go. Uh, Father, I ask that you would set them free from the law of sin and death today, that you would set them free to life abundantly in Jesus' name.

SPEAKER_01 34:47

Lord, I just pray that any of the girls watching this that are feel unpowerful or uncomfident or anything along those lines that you remind them that they are powerful within you, Lord, and that you allow them to harness that power and that strength through whatever they might be going through. And that you remind them that confidence is key and that they can do whatever you set them out to do. In Jesus' name.

SPEAKER_00 35:13

In Jesus' name. Amen. Okay, I love that.
