I wouldn't say it was
a crisis of faith,

00:00:09.976 --> 00:00:12.612 align:center line:63% position:50% size:48%
but it was a crisis
of was I wrong?

00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.915 align:start line:58% position:20% size:58%
Was my dad wrong
about what he thought
God was calling him to?

00:00:15.982 --> 00:00:18.251 align:start line:63% position:15% size:70%
I just remember I said to
my mom on the phone one day,

00:00:18.318 --> 00:00:20.987 align:center line:63% position:50% size:58%
"I feel like Dad gave
his entire life to God,

00:00:21.054 --> 00:00:23.690 align:center line:63% position:50% size:70%
and to ministry, and we have
nothing to show for it."

00:00:23.757 --> 00:00:27.560 align:start line:63% position:15% size:68%
My mom said to me,
"He has you to show for it.

00:00:27.627 --> 00:00:29.596 align:center line:63% position:50% size:35%
So I think
you're wrong."

"Navigating the Waves

00:01:04.864 --> 00:01:07.100 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%

Fear was one of

navigating the waves,

00:01:17.610 --> 00:01:18.878 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and sometimes those waves

00:01:18.945 --> 00:01:21.481 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
are just like a raging storm

00:01:21.548 --> 00:01:23.249 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
of fear and failure.

Heather Thompson Day,

00:01:25.452 --> 00:01:28.087 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
this very beautiful lady,

00:01:28.154 --> 00:01:29.155 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
in some ways, has been

00:01:29.222 --> 00:01:30.623 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to hell and back.

00:01:30.690 --> 00:01:31.791 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
She's certainly been through

00:01:31.858 --> 00:01:33.893 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
the waves of fear

00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:36.029 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and failure and torment.

00:01:36.095 --> 00:01:37.430 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Heather, we just thank you

00:01:37.497 --> 00:01:38.498 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
for being here with us.

00:01:38.565 --> 00:01:39.699 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
HEATHER: Thank you.

00:01:39.766 --> 00:01:41.034 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
JAMES: You have a radiance

00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:42.969 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
about you that seems to imply

00:01:43.036 --> 00:01:44.070 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that there's something

00:01:44.137 --> 00:01:45.672 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
happened that's lifted

00:01:45.738 --> 00:01:46.773 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
some loads.

00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:47.874 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Is that correct?

00:01:47.941 --> 00:01:48.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
HEATHER: Absolutely!

00:01:49.042 --> 00:01:50.310 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
I think so.

00:01:50.376 --> 00:01:51.978 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
JAMES: So you wrote the book,

00:01:52.045 --> 00:01:53.913 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and why did you title it,

00:01:53.980 --> 00:01:55.348 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
<i>What If I'm Wrong?</i>

00:01:55.415 --> 00:01:56.549 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
HEATHER: It was a question

00:01:56.616 --> 00:01:57.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I asked myself

00:01:57.750 --> 00:01:58.751 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
over and over again.

00:01:58.818 --> 00:02:00.019 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
I think it's actually

00:02:00.086 --> 00:02:01.154 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
a question that a lot

00:02:01.221 --> 00:02:03.356 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
of people, if God gives you

00:02:03.423 --> 00:02:04.958 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
some type of promise or

00:02:05.024 --> 00:02:07.794 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
vision or word over your life

00:02:07.861 --> 00:02:09.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in the beginning,

00:02:09.562 --> 00:02:10.797 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and then I have to go

00:02:10.864 --> 00:02:12.265 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
on this journey to see

00:02:12.332 --> 00:02:13.366 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
at what point

00:02:13.433 --> 00:02:14.501 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
is this going to happen?

00:02:14.567 --> 00:02:15.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Or at what point is this

00:02:15.702 --> 00:02:16.870 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
going to be fulfilled,

00:02:16.936 --> 00:02:17.971 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
is the question that played

00:02:18.037 --> 00:02:19.172 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in my mind over and over.

00:02:19.239 --> 00:02:20.573 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Was I wrong about what

00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:21.908 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I thought God was going

00:02:21.975 --> 00:02:23.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to do in my life

00:02:23.276 --> 00:02:24.310 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
or where I thought

00:02:24.377 --> 00:02:25.445 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
he was going to take me,

00:02:25.512 --> 00:02:26.546 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
or what I thought his plans

00:02:26.613 --> 00:02:27.881 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
were for me?

00:02:27.947 --> 00:02:29.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Specifically, for me,

00:02:29.148 --> 00:02:30.316 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
my father who was

00:02:30.383 --> 00:02:32.819 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
my spiritual hero.

00:02:32.886 --> 00:02:34.387 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
JAMES: Was a Christian man?

00:02:34.454 --> 00:02:35.822 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
HEATHER: He was,

00:02:35.889 --> 00:02:37.423 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
oh my goodness,

00:02:37.490 --> 00:02:38.691 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
he was a man of God.

00:02:38.758 --> 00:02:39.826 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Same person on stage

00:02:39.893 --> 00:02:41.027 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
as he was in the basement

00:02:41.094 --> 00:02:42.128 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
when I would watch him

00:02:42.195 --> 00:02:43.229 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
on his knees before

00:02:43.296 --> 00:02:44.264 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the Lord in prayer.

00:02:44.330 --> 00:02:45.331 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
He gave every penny

00:02:45.398 --> 00:02:46.599 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
he ever made

00:02:46.666 --> 00:02:47.934 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
back into the ministry.

00:02:48.001 --> 00:02:49.335 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And he got Alzheimer's

00:02:49.402 --> 00:02:51.704 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
when I was 25 years old.

00:02:51.771 --> 00:02:52.906 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And so, by the time

00:02:52.972 --> 00:02:54.040 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I started writing this book,

00:02:54.107 --> 00:02:56.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I think I was probably 35.

00:02:56.309 --> 00:02:57.343 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
He's not doing well

00:02:57.410 --> 00:02:58.378 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
at all anymore.

00:02:58.444 --> 00:02:59.445 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
My family is trying

00:02:59.512 --> 00:03:00.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to figure out --

00:03:00.580 --> 00:03:01.514 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
if anybody's ever loved

00:03:01.581 --> 00:03:02.749 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
somebody who then

00:03:02.815 --> 00:03:04.083 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
has a medical crisis,

00:03:04.150 --> 00:03:05.418 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and you're not financially

00:03:05.485 --> 00:03:06.586 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
wealthy, as my family

00:03:06.653 --> 00:03:07.887 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
was not, we were trying

00:03:07.954 --> 00:03:09.022 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to figure out how do we pay

00:03:09.088 --> 00:03:10.390 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
for nursing home care

00:03:10.456 --> 00:03:11.925 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
for this person that

00:03:11.991 --> 00:03:14.127 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
gave everything to God?

00:03:14.193 --> 00:03:15.361 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
And so, I went through this,

00:03:15.428 --> 00:03:16.529 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I wouldn't say it was

00:03:16.596 --> 00:03:17.797 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
a crisis of faith, but it was

00:03:17.864 --> 00:03:19.299 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
a crisis of was I wrong?

00:03:19.365 --> 00:03:20.934 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Was my dad wrong

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:22.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
about what he thought

00:03:22.101 --> 00:03:23.269 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
God was calling him to?

00:03:23.336 --> 00:03:24.404 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I just remember I said

00:03:24.470 --> 00:03:25.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to my mom on the phone

00:03:25.572 --> 00:03:26.639 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
one day, "I feel like

00:03:26.706 --> 00:03:28.041 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Dad gave his entire life

00:03:28.107 --> 00:03:29.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to God and to ministry,

00:03:29.309 --> 00:03:30.343 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and we have nothing

00:03:30.410 --> 00:03:31.644 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to show for it."

00:03:31.711 --> 00:03:32.745 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Oh, that's going

00:03:32.812 --> 00:03:34.247 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to make me want to cry.

00:03:34.314 --> 00:03:36.649 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And my mom said to me,

00:03:36.716 --> 00:03:38.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
"He has you to show for it.

00:03:38.685 --> 00:03:40.520 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So I think you're wrong."

00:03:40.587 --> 00:03:41.788 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
It was the beginning for me

00:03:41.854 --> 00:03:43.423 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
of zooming out of my own life

00:03:43.489 --> 00:03:44.891 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and seeing a God that works

00:03:44.958 --> 00:03:46.426 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
from generation to generation

00:03:46.492 --> 00:03:47.927 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to generation.

00:03:47.994 --> 00:03:49.929 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
A God that answers prayers.

00:03:49.996 --> 00:03:51.297 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
He will answer prayers

00:03:51.364 --> 00:03:52.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in my children's life

00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:53.666 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and their children's life.

00:03:53.733 --> 00:03:54.734 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Who answered, I think,

00:03:54.801 --> 00:03:55.835 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
some of my dad's prayers

00:03:55.902 --> 00:03:57.136 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
in my life.

00:03:57.203 --> 00:03:58.137 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And then as Christians,

00:03:58.204 --> 00:03:59.272 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
we get grafted

00:03:59.339 --> 00:04:00.940 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
into this family of God

00:04:01.007 --> 00:04:02.041 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that is working from

00:04:02.108 --> 00:04:03.142 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
generation to generation.

00:04:03.209 --> 00:04:04.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
It's never just about

00:04:04.310 --> 00:04:05.445 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
your singular life.

00:04:05.511 --> 00:04:06.613 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
So that's kind of where

00:04:06.679 --> 00:04:07.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the title for the book

00:04:07.747 --> 00:04:08.915 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
came from.

00:04:08.982 --> 00:04:09.983 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I want people to zoom out

00:04:10.049 --> 00:04:11.217 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
a little bit of their present

00:04:11.284 --> 00:04:12.385 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
circumstance and say,

00:04:12.452 --> 00:04:13.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
what could I be getting wrong

00:04:13.720 --> 00:04:14.821 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
about how I think God has

00:04:14.887 --> 00:04:16.289 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to work or has to move

00:04:16.356 --> 00:04:17.490 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in order to know that God

00:04:17.557 --> 00:04:18.591 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
has been faithful to me?

00:04:18.658 --> 00:04:19.692 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
JAMES: Well, how does

00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:21.027 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
he answer the question,

00:04:21.094 --> 00:04:22.295 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
What if I'm wrong?

00:04:22.362 --> 00:04:23.396 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
How did he turn that around

00:04:23.463 --> 00:04:24.964 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
for that to make sense?

00:04:25.031 --> 00:04:27.033 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
That even if you're wrong,

00:04:27.100 --> 00:04:28.301 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
he can right the wrong

00:04:28.368 --> 00:04:29.535 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
and show you the right.

00:04:29.602 --> 00:04:31.537 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I mean, how did he deal

00:04:31.604 --> 00:04:33.039 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
with you in your life

00:04:33.106 --> 00:04:34.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
with that question?

00:04:34.207 --> 00:04:35.341 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
HEATHER: Can I tell you?

00:04:35.408 --> 00:04:37.276 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So last September, I was on

00:04:37.343 --> 00:04:40.747 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
a run and I felt the spirit.

00:04:40.813 --> 00:04:41.981 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I just was struggling

00:04:42.048 --> 00:04:43.282 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
with different things,

00:04:43.349 --> 00:04:44.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and I felt the spirit say,

00:04:44.951 --> 00:04:46.185 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
You don't have to think

00:04:46.252 --> 00:04:47.720 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that I'm being good to you

00:04:47.787 --> 00:04:48.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
in order for you to choose

00:04:49.055 --> 00:04:50.289 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to bring goodness

00:04:50.356 --> 00:04:51.557 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
into this world.

00:04:51.624 --> 00:04:52.792 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And you don't have to think

00:04:52.859 --> 00:04:53.926 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that I am blessing you

00:04:53.993 --> 00:04:55.061 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
in order for you

00:04:55.128 --> 00:04:56.229 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to choose to be a blessing.

00:04:56.295 --> 00:04:57.497 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And because this is true,

00:04:57.563 --> 00:04:58.631 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Heather, you can bring

00:04:58.698 --> 00:04:59.832 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
goodness and blessing

00:04:59.899 --> 00:05:01.000 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
into this world at any time

00:05:01.067 --> 00:05:02.201 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
that you choose.

00:05:02.268 --> 00:05:03.302 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I am with you

00:05:03.369 --> 00:05:04.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and I am visible to you

00:05:04.504 --> 00:05:06.639 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
any time you choose.

00:05:06.706 --> 00:05:08.074 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
So from that moment,

00:05:08.141 --> 00:05:09.509 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
I realized, and this is how

00:05:09.575 --> 00:05:10.877 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
I live my life now,

00:05:10.943 --> 00:05:12.011 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
I spent so much of

00:05:12.078 --> 00:05:13.146 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
my Christian life, and I think

00:05:13.212 --> 00:05:14.247 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
a lot of people do this.

00:05:14.313 --> 00:05:15.281 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
We spend our Christian

00:05:15.348 --> 00:05:16.282 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
life saying, God,

00:05:16.349 --> 00:05:17.316 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
reveal yourself to me.

00:05:17.383 --> 00:05:18.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
God wants to reveal

00:05:18.451 --> 00:05:19.452 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
himself in you.

00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:20.520 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
JAMES: I'm going to take it

00:05:20.586 --> 00:05:21.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
one step farther.

00:05:21.721 --> 00:05:22.922 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
Through you.

00:05:22.989 --> 00:05:24.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
HEATHER: Amen!

00:05:24.157 --> 00:05:25.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
JAMES: He wants to flow

00:05:25.258 --> 00:05:26.292 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
his life in us and through us,

00:05:26.359 --> 00:05:27.393 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
a river of life.

00:05:27.460 --> 00:05:28.594 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
HEATHER: Yes!

00:05:28.661 --> 00:05:29.729 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
It's available to you

00:05:29.796 --> 00:05:30.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
at any time you want.

00:05:31.030 --> 00:05:32.131 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
You can go, Lord,

00:05:32.198 --> 00:05:33.232 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
please bless me.

00:05:33.299 --> 00:05:34.434 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Go be a blessing.

00:05:34.500 --> 00:05:35.735 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
It's changed my life

00:05:35.802 --> 00:05:36.969 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to live this way.

00:05:37.036 --> 00:05:38.071 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
BETTY: I think so many times,

00:05:38.137 --> 00:05:39.272 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
too, we ask that question,

00:05:39.338 --> 00:05:40.907 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
what if I'm wrong is because

00:05:40.973 --> 00:05:42.642 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
we have centered our whole

00:05:42.709 --> 00:05:45.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
life on our abilities,

00:05:45.478 --> 00:05:47.213 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
our not being able to do

00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:48.748 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
something, rather than

00:05:48.815 --> 00:05:50.149 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
what are God's abilities?

00:05:50.216 --> 00:05:52.351 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
They're limitless.

00:05:52.418 --> 00:05:54.187 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
You know, God can do anything

00:05:54.253 --> 00:05:55.588 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
if we just make ourselves

00:05:55.655 --> 00:05:56.789 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in submission

00:05:56.856 --> 00:05:58.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and available to him.

00:05:58.257 --> 00:06:00.093 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
But we miss opportunities

00:06:00.159 --> 00:06:01.828 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
when we're so centered on,

00:06:01.894 --> 00:06:03.696 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
oh, I can't do that.

00:06:03.763 --> 00:06:05.198 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
That might be wrong.

00:06:05.264 --> 00:06:06.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Instead of saying,

00:06:06.799 --> 00:06:07.967 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
God, what would you do?

00:06:08.034 --> 00:06:09.502 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
What would you have me to do?

00:06:09.569 --> 00:06:11.137 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I used to think James being

00:06:11.204 --> 00:06:13.272 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
a preacher, he'd say,

00:06:13.339 --> 00:06:16.309 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
"Boy, God's speaking to me."

00:06:16.375 --> 00:06:17.944 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I thought, I can't.

00:06:18.010 --> 00:06:19.178 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
God doesn't talk to me

00:06:19.245 --> 00:06:20.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
like that.

00:06:20.646 --> 00:06:21.981 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I didn't think I was

00:06:22.048 --> 00:06:23.382 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
qualified for God

00:06:23.449 --> 00:06:24.617 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to talk to me.

00:06:24.684 --> 00:06:25.985 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I think sometimes we hold

00:06:26.052 --> 00:06:27.520 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
ourselves back from God

00:06:27.587 --> 00:06:29.956 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
showing us his purpose for us

00:06:30.022 --> 00:06:31.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
because we don't

00:06:31.257 --> 00:06:32.592 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
feel qualified.

00:06:32.658 --> 00:06:34.093 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
When I knew I wasn't

00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.262 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
qualified but yet God is,

00:06:36.329 --> 00:06:38.097 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and he created us

00:06:38.164 --> 00:06:39.665 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and I began to submit to him

00:06:39.732 --> 00:06:41.801 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and to his truth, his word,

00:06:41.868 --> 00:06:43.236 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
then he began to speak

00:06:43.302 --> 00:06:45.338 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to me through his word.

00:06:45.404 --> 00:06:46.906 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
It's not who you are,

00:06:46.973 --> 00:06:48.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
is who he is.

00:06:49.041 --> 00:06:50.610 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
JAMES: Take us on a journey

00:06:50.676 --> 00:06:52.111 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
through the book because

00:06:52.178 --> 00:06:53.312 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I think God's giving you

00:06:53.379 --> 00:06:54.947 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
a great gift.

00:06:55.014 --> 00:06:56.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I think you've really

00:06:56.149 --> 00:06:57.717 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
experienced him personally

00:06:57.784 --> 00:06:59.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and miraculously,

00:06:59.185 --> 00:07:00.787 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
supernaturally.

00:07:00.853 --> 00:07:02.922 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
You give God yielded clay,

00:07:02.989 --> 00:07:04.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
put that clay in the Master

00:07:04.257 --> 00:07:05.858 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
potter's hand, and he can

00:07:05.925 --> 00:07:07.627 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
shape it into a great vessel

00:07:07.693 --> 00:07:10.429 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
of honor and magnify himself

00:07:10.496 --> 00:07:13.132 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
in us in that yielded clay.

00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:14.667 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I think that's what you are.

00:07:14.734 --> 00:07:18.004 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
HEATHER: Thank you.

00:07:18.070 --> 00:07:19.272 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
So the reason

00:07:19.338 --> 00:07:20.573 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
it's "Navigating waves of fear

00:07:20.640 --> 00:07:21.974 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
and failure" is because

00:07:22.041 --> 00:07:23.209 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
there was nothing worse

00:07:23.276 --> 00:07:25.044 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
to me than failure.

00:07:25.111 --> 00:07:26.279 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
So I tried to make

00:07:26.345 --> 00:07:28.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
every choice in my life

00:07:28.214 --> 00:07:29.382 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in a way in which

00:07:29.448 --> 00:07:31.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I would not fail.

00:07:31.184 --> 00:07:32.885 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
What I've come to discover,

00:07:32.952 --> 00:07:34.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and this is just

00:07:34.387 --> 00:07:35.655 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in my acceptance,

00:07:35.721 --> 00:07:36.689 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and whether this is right

00:07:36.756 --> 00:07:37.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
or wrong, this is what

00:07:37.857 --> 00:07:39.058 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
God has led me to.

00:07:39.125 --> 00:07:40.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Jesus entered towns in which

00:07:40.326 --> 00:07:43.329 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
he would not do any miracles.

00:07:43.396 --> 00:07:45.064 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
If Jesus was willing to --

00:07:45.131 --> 00:07:47.433 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
if I'm God and I'm going to

00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:48.968 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
plan a three-year ministry,

00:07:49.035 --> 00:07:50.069 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
three and a half years,

00:07:50.136 --> 00:07:51.170 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I'm only going to hit

00:07:51.237 --> 00:07:52.238 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the towns in which

00:07:52.305 --> 00:07:53.372 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I am successful, in which

00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:54.507 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
there are baptisms in which

00:07:54.574 --> 00:07:55.575 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
everybody's applauding

00:07:55.641 --> 00:07:56.642 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and which we are

00:07:56.709 --> 00:07:57.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
turning lives around.

00:07:57.777 --> 00:07:58.778 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Jesus chooses to

00:07:58.845 --> 00:07:59.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
still enter towns in

00:07:59.912 --> 00:08:00.913 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
a three-and-a-half-year

00:08:00.980 --> 00:08:01.981 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
ministry, in which

00:08:02.048 --> 00:08:03.382 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
he will not do any miracles.

00:08:03.449 --> 00:08:04.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Because for God,

00:08:04.517 --> 00:08:05.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
the submission to

00:08:05.818 --> 00:08:06.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the commitment and

00:08:07.053 --> 00:08:08.387 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the obedience of the work

00:08:08.454 --> 00:08:09.522 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
was the most important thing.

00:08:09.589 --> 00:08:11.257 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
That was the success.

00:08:11.324 --> 00:08:13.860 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Whether the outcome happens

00:08:13.926 --> 00:08:16.295 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
is not for me to worry about,

00:08:16.362 --> 00:08:17.363 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
but to submit myself

00:08:17.430 --> 00:08:18.464 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
to the work.

00:08:18.531 --> 00:08:19.565 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
That's the point.

00:08:19.632 --> 00:08:20.800 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
Jesus says, and I live

00:08:20.867 --> 00:08:24.637 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
in Texas so, when Jesus says,

00:08:24.704 --> 00:08:25.705 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
The kingdom of heaven

00:08:25.771 --> 00:08:26.772 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
is like a farmer

00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
who scatters seed on rocks,

00:08:30.309 --> 00:08:31.410 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I don't know any farmers

00:08:31.477 --> 00:08:32.712 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
who scatter seeds on rocks.

00:08:32.778 --> 00:08:33.813 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
JAMES: That's not

00:08:33.880 --> 00:08:34.947 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
a good idea.

00:08:35.014 --> 00:08:36.215 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
HEATHER: But Jesus does.

00:08:36.282 --> 00:08:38.084 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Because for God, the work,

00:08:38.150 --> 00:08:39.952 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
not the results, the work,

00:08:40.019 --> 00:08:41.053 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the commitment to keep

00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:42.255 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
showing up even if

00:08:42.321 --> 00:08:43.356 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
people refuse it,

00:08:43.422 --> 00:08:44.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that's what matters.

00:08:44.857 --> 00:08:46.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So once I've accepted this,

00:08:46.192 --> 00:08:48.361 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that failure just doesn't

00:08:48.427 --> 00:08:49.629 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
have -- I don't fear it

00:08:49.695 --> 00:08:50.796 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
anymore because

00:08:50.863 --> 00:08:52.064 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
it's not mine.

00:08:52.131 --> 00:08:53.199 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Do you know what I mean?

00:08:53.266 --> 00:08:54.500 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Like God is doing the work

00:08:54.567 --> 00:08:55.601 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and I'm just supposed

00:08:55.668 --> 00:08:56.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to show up and be obedient.

00:08:56.969 --> 00:08:57.970 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And then the results are

00:08:58.037 --> 00:08:59.939 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
up to his kingdom, not me.

00:09:00.006 --> 00:09:01.407 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So it's really allowed me

00:09:01.474 --> 00:09:02.642 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to detach myself from

00:09:02.708 --> 00:09:03.809 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
these fears of well,

00:09:03.876 --> 00:09:05.011 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
what if I fail?

00:09:05.077 --> 00:09:06.479 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
What if I'm not obedient?

00:09:06.545 --> 00:09:07.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
That should be

00:09:07.647 --> 00:09:08.814 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the bigger fear for me.

00:09:08.881 --> 00:09:10.016 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Let's use Joseph

00:09:10.082 --> 00:09:11.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
as an example.

00:09:11.751 --> 00:09:12.985 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
If I'm going to be prepared

00:09:13.052 --> 00:09:15.321 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to be the leader of Egypt,

00:09:15.388 --> 00:09:16.656 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
would I go to prison

00:09:16.722 --> 00:09:19.325 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to prepare for that? No.

00:09:19.392 --> 00:09:20.493 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
JAMES: Not on purpose.

00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:21.694 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
HEATHER: Not on purpose!

00:09:21.761 --> 00:09:22.995 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
But for God, right?

00:09:23.062 --> 00:09:24.230 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Prison is part of

00:09:24.297 --> 00:09:25.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
your journey because

00:09:25.431 --> 00:09:26.766 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
the point isn't your position,

00:09:26.832 --> 00:09:27.967 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
it was that he would restore

00:09:28.034 --> 00:09:29.168 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
the family of God

00:09:29.235 --> 00:09:30.469 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
when he was there.

00:09:30.536 --> 00:09:31.704 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
So, for some reason,

00:09:31.771 --> 00:09:33.005 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
something happened in that

00:09:33.072 --> 00:09:34.340 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
prison for Joseph's heart

00:09:34.407 --> 00:09:35.541 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that by the time he gets

00:09:35.608 --> 00:09:37.043 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
put into position,

00:09:37.109 --> 00:09:38.577 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
he's able to refill

00:09:38.644 --> 00:09:40.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
or to restore the family.

00:09:40.579 --> 00:09:41.914 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
So, it's always

00:09:41.981 --> 00:09:43.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the heart process.

00:09:43.149 --> 00:09:44.317 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So therefore, if I submit

00:09:44.383 --> 00:09:45.651 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
myself to this journey,

00:09:45.718 --> 00:09:47.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
failure, difficulty,

00:09:47.520 --> 00:09:50.923 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
adversity, why am I afraid?

00:09:50.990 --> 00:09:52.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Because he is with me

00:09:52.258 --> 00:09:53.359 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and he will keep refining

00:09:53.426 --> 00:09:54.961 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
my heart throughout whatever

00:09:55.027 --> 00:09:56.162 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
it is I'm going through.

00:09:56.228 --> 00:09:57.897 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
JAMES: Back to the potter.

00:09:57.964 --> 00:09:59.298 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
When you give yielded clay

00:09:59.365 --> 00:10:00.733 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
to the potter's hands,

00:10:00.800 --> 00:10:01.867 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
part of the shaping process

00:10:01.934 --> 00:10:03.836 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
is pressure.

00:10:03.903 --> 00:10:05.137 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
So, pressure is a part of

00:10:05.204 --> 00:10:06.572 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
the shaping process,

00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:08.107 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and that includes problems.

00:10:08.174 --> 00:10:09.175 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
It improves failures,

00:10:09.241 --> 00:10:12.078 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
it includes challenges.

00:10:12.144 --> 00:10:13.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
He's the one that creates

00:10:14.046 --> 00:10:15.781 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
the masterpiece.

00:10:15.848 --> 00:10:17.917 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
That's what he's done in you

00:10:17.984 --> 00:10:19.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and continues to do in you.

00:10:20.052 --> 00:10:21.253 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
That's what he wants to do

00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:22.822 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
in every one of us.

00:10:22.888 --> 00:10:24.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
We don't offer him

00:10:24.256 --> 00:10:25.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
something perfect.

00:10:25.691 --> 00:10:26.792 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
We offer him something

00:10:26.859 --> 00:10:28.694 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that needs to be shaped.

00:10:28.761 --> 00:10:29.929 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
We give him our lives.

00:10:29.996 --> 00:10:31.397 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
He gave his life for us,

00:10:31.464 --> 00:10:33.332 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
now we give his life to us,

00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and he will express his life

00:10:35.201 --> 00:10:36.969 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to us and through us

00:10:37.036 --> 00:10:39.005 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
if we become the yielded,

00:10:39.071 --> 00:10:40.740 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
shaped clay

00:10:40.806 --> 00:10:42.074 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
by the master potter.

00:10:42.141 --> 00:10:43.142 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Does that make sense?

00:10:43.209 --> 00:10:44.210 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
HEATHER: It makes

00:10:44.276 --> 00:10:45.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
perfect sense to me.

00:10:45.411 --> 00:10:46.812 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And yet, I've resisted it

00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:47.913 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
most of my life.

00:10:47.980 --> 00:10:49.215 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
JAMES: Why?

00:10:49.281 --> 00:10:50.883 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
HEATHER: Because it hurts,

00:10:50.950 --> 00:10:51.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and it's difficult --

00:10:51.951 --> 00:10:53.319 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and the uncertainty.

00:10:53.386 --> 00:10:54.387 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
It's one thing if I'm going

00:10:54.453 --> 00:10:57.123 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
through pressure and I know,

00:10:57.189 --> 00:10:58.290 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
okay, this is going to be

00:10:58.357 --> 00:10:59.425 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
like five years from now,

00:10:59.492 --> 00:11:00.693 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
ten years from now,

00:11:00.760 --> 00:11:02.061 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I'm going to have this story.

00:11:02.128 --> 00:11:03.295 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
But when you're in

00:11:03.362 --> 00:11:04.997 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
that pressure point,

00:11:05.064 --> 00:11:07.900 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
it's so much uncertainty.

00:11:07.967 --> 00:11:10.336 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
What if this is how it ends?

00:11:10.403 --> 00:11:11.604 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
It's just this sad story.

00:11:11.670 --> 00:11:12.905 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And so, especially for

00:11:12.972 --> 00:11:16.776 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
my dad, there's not --

00:11:16.842 --> 00:11:18.277 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
my dad has not seen

00:11:18.344 --> 00:11:19.645 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and he will not see --

00:11:19.712 --> 00:11:20.813 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
well, I keep praying for

00:11:20.880 --> 00:11:22.114 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
his healing, and the Lord

00:11:22.181 --> 00:11:24.283 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
hears those prayers, but

00:11:24.350 --> 00:11:25.918 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
he has not seen any

00:11:25.985 --> 00:11:29.622 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
like miraculous point

00:11:29.688 --> 00:11:30.956 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
of his ministry.

00:11:31.023 --> 00:11:32.792 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
It has just been pressure,

00:11:32.858 --> 00:11:34.226 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and to accept that.

00:11:34.293 --> 00:11:36.262 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
JAMES: We have a lot of --

00:11:36.328 --> 00:11:37.363 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
We know God works

00:11:37.430 --> 00:11:38.431 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
all miracles.

00:11:38.497 --> 00:11:39.598 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
We know God is a healer.

00:11:39.665 --> 00:11:41.834 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
We know he can heal anything.

00:11:41.901 --> 00:11:43.269 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
We prayed seven years for

00:11:43.335 --> 00:11:45.771 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
God to heal the most fabulous

00:11:45.838 --> 00:11:46.806 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
-- we'd never known

00:11:46.872 --> 00:11:47.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a greater person.

00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:48.874 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
We had three

00:11:48.941 --> 00:11:49.942 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
tremendous children,

00:11:50.009 --> 00:11:51.077 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
but we had a little girl,

00:11:51.143 --> 00:11:52.478 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a little surprise baby

00:11:52.545 --> 00:11:53.546 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that just kind of surprised

00:11:53.612 --> 00:11:54.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the whole world, she was

00:11:54.747 --> 00:11:55.781 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
so full of the life of God

00:11:55.848 --> 00:11:57.116 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and the love of God,

00:11:57.183 --> 00:11:58.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and just a stick of dynamite,

00:11:58.951 --> 00:12:00.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
three beautiful children.

00:12:00.719 --> 00:12:01.821 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
She kept asking Betty

00:12:01.887 --> 00:12:03.022 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
while she was fighting cancer

00:12:03.089 --> 00:12:04.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
for seven years, "Mom,

00:12:04.590 --> 00:12:05.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
do you think I'll get

00:12:05.691 --> 00:12:08.694 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to see my grandchildren?"

00:12:08.761 --> 00:12:10.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
She has seven now.

00:12:11.030 --> 00:12:12.098 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
She's only seen them

00:12:12.164 --> 00:12:13.766 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
from heaven.

00:12:13.833 --> 00:12:16.335 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And so, we lost her.

00:12:16.402 --> 00:12:18.304 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
It didn't happen.

00:12:18.370 --> 00:12:20.139 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So, we don't understand why

00:12:20.206 --> 00:12:23.075 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
certain things don't happen.

00:12:23.142 --> 00:12:25.878 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And we'll never get the,

00:12:25.945 --> 00:12:27.413 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
the why answer

00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:29.515 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that satisfies us here.

00:12:29.582 --> 00:12:30.883 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
So here's what we try

00:12:30.950 --> 00:12:32.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to point out to people

00:12:32.184 --> 00:12:34.086 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that we've learned ourselves.

00:12:34.153 --> 00:12:36.188 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Ask what not why.

00:12:36.255 --> 00:12:38.724 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
What do you want to do

00:12:38.791 --> 00:12:40.025 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
with the incredible life

00:12:40.092 --> 00:12:41.861 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and testimony of this

00:12:41.927 --> 00:12:43.162 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
beautiful girl that's now

00:12:43.229 --> 00:12:44.964 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
in heaven?

00:12:45.030 --> 00:12:46.198 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
We see what you're doing

00:12:46.265 --> 00:12:48.234 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
through her three children,

00:12:48.300 --> 00:12:50.536 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
teenagers that she left

00:12:50.603 --> 00:12:53.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
who are really amazing.

00:12:53.105 --> 00:12:54.740 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
Now she has

00:12:54.807 --> 00:12:56.809 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
seven grandchildren,

00:12:56.876 --> 00:12:58.010 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and we know what God's going

00:12:58.077 --> 00:12:59.311 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to do through those.

00:12:59.378 --> 00:13:00.779 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So, we're asking God what

00:13:00.846 --> 00:13:02.248 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
do you want to do with it?

00:13:02.314 --> 00:13:04.116 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
But I'm telling you, God sees

00:13:04.183 --> 00:13:05.184 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
through all your pressure,

00:13:05.251 --> 00:13:06.352 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and you not understand

00:13:06.418 --> 00:13:07.553 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
about your dad.

00:13:07.620 --> 00:13:08.687 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Would you say that he's

00:13:08.754 --> 00:13:09.922 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
doing some miraculous things

00:13:09.989 --> 00:13:11.590 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
in your life right now?

00:13:11.657 --> 00:13:12.691 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
HEATHER: What I've come

00:13:12.758 --> 00:13:15.060 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
to realize is that

00:13:15.127 --> 00:13:16.362 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
my circumstances

00:13:16.428 --> 00:13:18.831 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
aren't the story.

00:13:18.898 --> 00:13:21.934 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
My spirit is the story.

00:13:22.001 --> 00:13:23.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So, whether or not I live

00:13:23.102 --> 00:13:24.403 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
a good story is not about

00:13:24.470 --> 00:13:26.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
what happens to me,

00:13:26.105 --> 00:13:28.040 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
it's about how I respond

00:13:28.107 --> 00:13:29.909 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
despite what happens.

00:13:29.975 --> 00:13:31.210 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I think all of heaven

00:13:31.277 --> 00:13:32.778 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
is watching us to say,

00:13:32.845 --> 00:13:33.946 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
oh, my goodness!

00:13:34.013 --> 00:13:35.014 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Look at all this difficulty.

00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:36.348 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Look at all this pressure.

00:13:36.415 --> 00:13:37.616 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And yet, look at how

00:13:37.683 --> 00:13:38.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
they're still living,

00:13:38.817 --> 00:13:39.852 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
choosing to bring goodness

00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:40.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and blessing into the world,

00:13:41.053 --> 00:13:42.188 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
even if they perceive that

00:13:42.254 --> 00:13:43.856 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
they are not experiencing it.

00:13:43.923 --> 00:13:46.525 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
That's a beautiful story.

00:13:46.592 --> 00:13:47.793 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
And all of us have

00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:48.894 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
access to that.

00:13:48.961 --> 00:13:50.162 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Only in Christ!

00:13:50.229 --> 00:13:51.363 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I really think only

00:13:51.430 --> 00:13:52.665 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
God empowers you to step

00:13:52.731 --> 00:13:54.300 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
outside your own suffering

00:13:54.366 --> 00:13:57.069 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
enough to live this way,

00:13:57.136 --> 00:13:58.637 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and to believe this thing,

00:13:58.704 --> 00:14:00.039 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and to actually be God's

00:14:00.105 --> 00:14:01.473 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
hands and feet in this world

00:14:01.540 --> 00:14:02.541 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
every day.

00:14:02.608 --> 00:14:03.576 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
My prayer

00:14:03.642 --> 00:14:04.977 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
every single morning,

00:14:05.044 --> 00:14:06.278 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
as soon as I open my eyes,

00:14:06.345 --> 00:14:08.113 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
Lord, help me to make a moment

00:14:08.180 --> 00:14:10.649 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
for someone else today.

00:14:10.716 --> 00:14:11.917 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
So I remind myself

00:14:11.984 --> 00:14:13.953 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
this isn't about me.

00:14:14.019 --> 00:14:15.287 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
BETTY: I think it is more

00:14:15.354 --> 00:14:16.488 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
about the journey

00:14:16.555 --> 00:14:18.290 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
that God has us so on.

00:14:18.357 --> 00:14:20.826 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
Because the heartaches

00:14:20.893 --> 00:14:21.860 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
are going to come.

00:14:21.927 --> 00:14:23.062 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
They're there.

00:14:23.128 --> 00:14:24.964 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
But the joys are so wonderful.

00:14:25.030 --> 00:14:26.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
The heartache with us

00:14:26.365 --> 00:14:28.400 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
losing our daughter, and her

00:14:28.467 --> 00:14:30.269 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
children losing their mother,

00:14:30.336 --> 00:14:31.904 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
but the beautiful thing

00:14:31.971 --> 00:14:33.606 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
is the relationship that

00:14:33.672 --> 00:14:35.507 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
we have that grows

00:14:35.574 --> 00:14:37.576 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
every day with God,

00:14:37.643 --> 00:14:38.777 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and the opportunities

00:14:38.844 --> 00:14:39.945 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
we've had to share

00:14:40.012 --> 00:14:41.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
with people because

00:14:41.347 --> 00:14:44.116 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
we understand loss.

00:14:44.183 --> 00:14:47.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
A moment to encourage others

00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:49.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
through the journey

00:14:49.121 --> 00:14:50.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that God took us on.

00:14:50.456 --> 00:14:51.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
No, we would not

00:14:51.590 --> 00:14:52.691 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
have chosen it.

00:14:52.758 --> 00:14:53.826 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Just like you said,

00:14:53.892 --> 00:14:55.127 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
you don't choose that.

00:14:55.194 --> 00:14:56.428 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
You want the results,

00:14:56.495 --> 00:14:57.663 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
God's results.

00:14:57.730 --> 00:14:59.331 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Well, these are results.

00:14:59.398 --> 00:15:00.599 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So we need to look at it

00:15:00.666 --> 00:15:01.734 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
differently.

00:15:01.800 --> 00:15:02.935 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
We don't wait to get

00:15:03.002 --> 00:15:04.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to the end of it.

00:15:04.270 --> 00:15:05.471 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
God, what have you got

00:15:05.537 --> 00:15:06.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
on the journey for me?

00:15:06.939 --> 00:15:08.240 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
HEATHER: What if you're wrong

00:15:08.307 --> 00:15:10.409 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
about what God does still do

00:15:10.476 --> 00:15:12.044 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in your life despite

00:15:12.111 --> 00:15:13.312 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
these pieces?

00:15:13.379 --> 00:15:14.480 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
JAMES: Okay. Answer that.

00:15:14.546 --> 00:15:16.081 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
What if you're wrong?

00:15:16.148 --> 00:15:18.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
HEATHER: Oh, I just think,

00:15:18.751 --> 00:15:20.552 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
because I go around

00:15:20.619 --> 00:15:22.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and I travel and I speak.

00:15:22.121 --> 00:15:23.622 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I keep meeting people who

00:15:23.689 --> 00:15:25.691 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
talk about their testimony

00:15:25.758 --> 00:15:27.526 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
as if it was 10 years ago

00:15:27.593 --> 00:15:29.361 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
or 20 years ago.

00:15:29.428 --> 00:15:30.596 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
In my experience,

00:15:30.663 --> 00:15:31.730 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
your testimony is

00:15:31.797 --> 00:15:32.931 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
an unfolding process

00:15:32.998 --> 00:15:34.199 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
of what God is still doing

00:15:34.266 --> 00:15:36.435 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in your life right now,

00:15:36.502 --> 00:15:39.071 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
JAMES: In the here and now.

00:15:39.138 --> 00:15:40.472 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
HEATHER: What if I'm wrong

00:15:40.539 --> 00:15:41.707 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
about what God can still do?

00:15:41.774 --> 00:15:42.875 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Of course, you're wrong

00:15:42.941 --> 00:15:44.009 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
about what God can still do,

00:15:44.076 --> 00:15:45.277 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
because if you're alive,

00:15:45.344 --> 00:15:46.512 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
there is still so much that

00:15:46.578 --> 00:15:48.480 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
God can do through your life.

00:15:48.547 --> 00:15:50.215 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
When we don't see it

00:15:50.282 --> 00:15:51.550 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
as like waiting for God to do

00:15:51.617 --> 00:15:53.419 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
necessarily something for me,

00:15:53.485 --> 00:15:54.720 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
but what is available for me

00:15:54.787 --> 00:15:56.155 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to do for God,

00:15:56.221 --> 00:15:58.324 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
for other people?

00:15:58.390 --> 00:16:01.327 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Then your life becomes this

00:16:01.393 --> 00:16:03.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
-- it is, it does.

00:16:03.095 --> 00:16:04.129 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
You used the word

00:16:04.196 --> 00:16:05.331 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
like<i> miraculous</i> earlier,

00:16:05.397 --> 00:16:06.432 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
or supernatural.

00:16:06.498 --> 00:16:08.100 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It really feels that way

00:16:08.167 --> 00:16:09.702 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to live in this space where

00:16:09.768 --> 00:16:12.471 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
God is -- where I see my life

00:16:12.538 --> 00:16:13.806 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
is every single day,

00:16:13.872 --> 00:16:15.274 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
who is God bringing across

00:16:15.341 --> 00:16:16.675 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
my path that I can meet,

00:16:16.742 --> 00:16:17.776 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that I can minister to,

00:16:17.843 --> 00:16:19.445 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that I can encourage?

00:16:19.511 --> 00:16:20.713 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
It's an incredible experience.

00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:23.215 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
It is wild to me that

00:16:23.282 --> 00:16:25.150 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
God allows us to be so deeply

00:16:25.217 --> 00:16:26.985 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
a part of his kingdom

00:16:27.052 --> 00:16:29.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in this way.

00:16:29.121 --> 00:16:31.156 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
What a privilege and honor

00:16:31.223 --> 00:16:32.491 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
as human beings to co-labor

00:16:32.558 --> 00:16:34.660 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
with God in this way.

00:16:34.727 --> 00:16:35.994 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
JAMES: Do you believe if

00:16:36.061 --> 00:16:37.329 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
our viewers will read

00:16:37.396 --> 00:16:39.531 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the journey in the story,

00:16:39.598 --> 00:16:41.500 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
they can find the answers

00:16:41.567 --> 00:16:43.802 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
they're looking for?

00:16:43.869 --> 00:16:45.771 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
HEATHER: Absolutely.

00:16:45.838 --> 00:16:48.407 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
This book took me -- journey

00:16:48.474 --> 00:16:50.042 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
is the appropriate word.

00:16:50.109 --> 00:16:51.477 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
It took me on such

00:16:51.543 --> 00:16:53.412 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
a journey of surrender.

00:16:53.479 --> 00:16:54.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I have discovered that

00:16:54.580 --> 00:16:56.048 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
surrendering is not

00:16:56.115 --> 00:16:57.516 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
necessarily letting go,

00:16:57.583 --> 00:16:58.984 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
it's letting in.

00:16:59.051 --> 00:17:00.085 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It is letting the spirit

00:17:00.152 --> 00:17:01.220 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
work through you

00:17:01.286 --> 00:17:03.288 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
despite your circumstances.

00:17:03.355 --> 00:17:05.758 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I promise you, if you think

00:17:05.824 --> 00:17:06.992 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
there's nothing

00:17:07.059 --> 00:17:08.293 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
God can do with me.

00:17:08.360 --> 00:17:09.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I don't have the resources,

00:17:09.628 --> 00:17:10.662 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I don't have the open doors,

00:17:10.729 --> 00:17:11.730 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I don't have the network,

00:17:11.797 --> 00:17:12.731 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I am telling you,

00:17:12.798 --> 00:17:14.633 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
you are wrong.

00:17:14.700 --> 00:17:15.834 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
JAMES: God wants

00:17:15.901 --> 00:17:16.969 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to use us all.

00:17:17.035 --> 00:17:18.103 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
He loves us.

00:17:18.170 --> 00:17:20.072 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
He gave his Son

00:17:20.139 --> 00:17:22.341 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that we might have life;

00:17:22.408 --> 00:17:25.744 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
life not only eternally,

00:17:25.811 --> 00:17:27.646 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
but abundantly right now.

00:17:27.713 --> 00:17:29.014 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Father, I pray for everyone

00:17:29.081 --> 00:17:31.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
listening, asking questions,

00:17:31.450 --> 00:17:33.385 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
facing challenges.

00:17:33.452 --> 00:17:34.553 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And I believe Heather

00:17:34.620 --> 00:17:35.754 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
has been gifted by you

00:17:35.821 --> 00:17:38.157 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to write some insights

00:17:38.223 --> 00:17:39.525 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and some inspiration

00:17:39.591 --> 00:17:40.959 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that will help those

00:17:41.026 --> 00:17:42.294 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
right now who are asking

00:17:42.361 --> 00:17:43.862 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
these questions.

00:17:43.929 --> 00:17:46.632 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Please, dear God, give them

00:17:46.698 --> 00:17:49.568 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the will to decide

00:17:49.635 --> 00:17:50.769 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I'm going to learn

00:17:50.836 --> 00:17:52.204 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and I'm going to live

00:17:52.271 --> 00:17:53.572 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
in the center of God's will,

00:17:53.639 --> 00:17:55.541 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in the potter's hand,

00:17:55.607 --> 00:17:58.143 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and let him shape his life

00:17:58.210 --> 00:18:00.045 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in me, and express it

00:18:00.112 --> 00:18:01.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
through me; in Jesus name.

00:18:02.047 --> 00:18:03.549 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
We will gladly send you

00:18:03.615 --> 00:18:04.750 align:start line:63% position:10% size:23%
the book.

00:18:04.817 --> 00:18:05.851 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
You can get it online

00:18:05.918 --> 00:18:07.052 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
or in the bookstores.

00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:08.153 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
If they want to see

00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:09.388 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
your website and what

00:18:09.455 --> 00:18:10.456 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
you have to say, where is it?

00:18:10.522 --> 00:18:11.590 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
HEATHER: You can go

00:18:11.657 --> 00:18:12.891 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
to Heather Thompson Day .com.

00:18:12.958 --> 00:18:14.092 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
JAMES: That's pretty simple.

00:18:14.159 --> 00:18:15.527 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
HEATHER: Yes, it's super easy.

00:18:15.594 --> 00:18:16.695 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
JAMES: You could go there

00:18:16.762 --> 00:18:17.830 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
and get the book.

00:18:17.896 --> 00:18:19.498 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
If you will help us feed

00:18:19.565 --> 00:18:22.134 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
some starving children

00:18:22.201 --> 00:18:23.435 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
and give the overlooked

00:18:23.502 --> 00:18:25.337 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
and the least of these

00:18:25.404 --> 00:18:27.473 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
a chance at life,

00:18:27.539 --> 00:18:28.740 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
we will say thank you

00:18:28.807 --> 00:18:30.843 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
with several gifts that will

00:18:30.909 --> 00:18:32.544 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
help you grow in the Lord.

00:18:32.611 --> 00:18:33.712 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
We'll just send them

00:18:33.779 --> 00:18:35.314 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
to you as gifts.

00:18:35.380 --> 00:18:36.448 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
So, how about you give

00:18:36.515 --> 00:18:38.283 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
the gift of life to someone

00:18:38.350 --> 00:18:40.786 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
who's facing death right now?

00:18:40.853 --> 00:18:42.454 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
I want you to listen

00:18:42.521 --> 00:18:44.223 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
to the challenges that

00:18:44.289 --> 00:18:46.391 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
are expressed by a mother

00:18:46.458 --> 00:18:48.627 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
that we not only have

00:18:48.694 --> 00:18:50.562 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
the answer to, in many ways

00:18:50.629 --> 00:18:52.130 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
we are the answer because

00:18:52.197 --> 00:18:54.132 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
of what we can do.

00:18:54.199 --> 00:18:56.368 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
Watch prayerfully.

00:18:57.369 --> 00:19:00.772 align:start line:79% position:13% size:73%
Imagine if all you had
to offer in exchange for food

00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.775 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
for your children
were chunks of charcoal.

00:19:03.842 --> 00:19:05.944 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
Now imagine
a daily challenge against

00:19:06.011 --> 00:19:09.448 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
an unforgiving terrain
to find and chop down trees

00:19:09.515 --> 00:19:12.117 align:center line:79% position:50% size:40%
in order to make
the charcoal.

00:19:12.184 --> 00:19:15.020 align:start line:79% position:20% size:60%
For Paulina, she doesn't
have to imagine.

00:19:15.087 --> 00:19:18.857 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
This is her life, which
includes daily walking

00:19:18.924 --> 00:19:20.959 align:center line:79% position:50% size:40%
up to four hours
to find a road

00:19:21.026 --> 00:19:23.762 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
where she can try
and sell what she has made,

00:19:23.829 --> 00:19:25.864 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
all the while thinking
of the three children

00:19:25.931 --> 00:19:29.401 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
she has already lost
to severe malnutrition,

00:19:29.468 --> 00:19:32.471 align:center line:79% position:50% size:73%
and praying that someone
would stop to make a purchase

00:19:32.538 --> 00:19:35.107 align:center line:79% position:50% size:65%
so she can feed
her remaining little ones.

00:19:35.173 --> 00:19:37.242 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
She knows all too well
the grief

00:19:37.309 --> 00:19:40.112 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
that comes when
she has no food to give.

00:19:50.622 --> 00:19:52.758 align:start line:79% position:25% size:50%

JAMES: If you would just

00:20:50.582 --> 00:20:51.783 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
simply make a gift

00:20:51.850 --> 00:20:52.918 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%

00:20:59.091 --> 00:21:01.126 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
It's a beautiful

00:21:01.193 --> 00:21:03.128 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
devotional book.

00:21:03.195 --> 00:21:05.197 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
And, I think it takes people

00:21:05.263 --> 00:21:06.465 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
on a wellness journey.

00:21:06.531 --> 00:21:07.733 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
And then, you know what

00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:09.668 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
I think about this throw,

00:21:09.735 --> 00:21:11.103 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
this blanket.

00:21:11.169 --> 00:21:13.038 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
This is a peace blanket.

"Perfect Peace."

00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:16.508 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
I can't tell you how much

00:21:16.575 --> 00:21:18.276 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
I enjoy this.

00:21:18.343 --> 00:21:20.212 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
It's not only beautiful,

00:21:20.278 --> 00:21:23.281 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
comfortable, unique, but

00:21:23.348 --> 00:21:28.253 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
to give $100 and literally

00:21:28.320 --> 00:21:30.689 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
save the lives of 10 children.

00:21:30.756 --> 00:21:31.857 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
Would you do it?

00:21:31.923 --> 00:21:33.125 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
Betty, I'm praying

00:21:33.191 --> 00:21:34.159 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
everybody will.

00:21:34.226 --> 00:21:37.496 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
There are some, literally,

00:21:37.562 --> 00:21:38.997 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
that can give even more.

00:21:39.064 --> 00:21:40.465 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
They can give $1,000 and save

00:21:40.532 --> 00:21:41.633 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
a hundred children's lives.

00:21:41.700 --> 00:21:42.768 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
BETTY: You know, James,

00:21:42.834 --> 00:21:44.202 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
I watched that dear, sweet

00:21:44.269 --> 00:21:46.204 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
mother who's lost so much.

00:21:46.271 --> 00:21:47.572 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
You think, how much more

00:21:47.639 --> 00:21:49.708 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
can she lose?

00:21:49.775 --> 00:21:51.777 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
She's run out of resources

00:21:51.843 --> 00:21:53.512 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
to take care of her children.

00:21:53.578 --> 00:21:54.846 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
She's begging.

00:21:54.913 --> 00:21:56.982 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
She's pleading for someone

00:21:57.049 --> 00:21:58.917 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
to reach out and help her.

00:21:58.984 --> 00:22:00.285 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
She's got two children,

00:22:00.352 --> 00:22:01.720 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
two little boys left.

00:22:01.787 --> 00:22:02.854 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
She says, I don't know

00:22:02.921 --> 00:22:04.056 align:start line:58% position:10% size:28%
what to do.

00:22:04.122 --> 00:22:05.123 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
That's what her spirit,

00:22:05.190 --> 00:22:06.458 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
her heart says.

00:22:06.525 --> 00:22:07.693 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
What am I going to do?

00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:09.261 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
We have the answer.

00:22:09.327 --> 00:22:11.329 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%

We can help this mother

00:22:13.699 --> 00:22:15.100 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
raise her two boys

00:22:15.167 --> 00:22:16.568 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%

with joy.

00:22:25.877 --> 00:22:26.878 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
Let's give her the food

00:22:26.945 --> 00:22:28.046 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
that she needs

00:22:28.113 --> 00:22:29.081 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
to feed her children.

00:22:29.147 --> 00:22:30.115 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
Thank you so much

00:22:30.182 --> 00:22:31.349 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%

a miracle of love.

00:22:48.567 --> 00:22:49.568 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%

that miracle of love

00:22:52.003 --> 00:22:54.239 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%

00:23:00.912 --> 00:23:02.314 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
direct what they give,

00:23:02.380 --> 00:23:04.149 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
in Jesus name.

00:23:04.216 --> 00:23:05.283 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
Would you get your bank card

00:23:05.350 --> 00:23:07.285 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
and use it like a check?

00:23:07.352 --> 00:23:09.354 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
Would you dial that number?

00:23:09.421 --> 00:23:10.455 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
Would you make that gift?

00:23:10.522 --> 00:23:12.190 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
Would you go online

00:23:12.257 --> 00:23:14.126 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
and make the gift?

00:23:14.192 --> 00:23:15.427 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
Please, if you write a check,

00:23:15.494 --> 00:23:17.062 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
make it to LIFE,

00:23:17.129 --> 00:23:18.463 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
but do call us and tell us

00:23:18.530 --> 00:23:20.332 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
you're sending it please.

00:23:20.398 --> 00:23:21.533 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%

the miracle

00:23:22.934 --> 00:23:24.903 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
someone has prayed for.

00:23:24.970 --> 00:23:27.139 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
And the miracle you're giving

00:23:27.205 --> 00:23:29.207 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%

the life God offers in Jesus,

00:23:34.546 --> 00:23:35.514 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%

these crops have failed.

00:25:37.402 --> 00:25:39.404 align:start line:53% position:30% size:40%
There is no life
in here.

00:25:39.471 --> 00:25:42.307 align:center line:53% position:50% size:68%
There is no way these crops
can produce any food.

00:25:42.374 --> 00:25:46.044 align:start line:53% position:25% size:48%
This swale is
literally just dry.

00:25:46.111 --> 00:25:49.447 align:center line:58% position:50% size:53%
No life in it at all.

00:25:49.514 --> 00:25:53.018 align:start line:53% position:25% size:48%
Failed crops though
mean failed lives.

00:25:53.084 --> 00:25:55.720 align:center line:53% position:50% size:58%
And as there is no life
left in this soil,

00:25:55.787 --> 00:25:59.925 align:center line:53% position:50% size:50%
if we're not able
to respond here soon

00:25:59.991 --> 00:26:03.461 align:center line:53% position:50% size:65%
this drought will not just
steal the life in the soil

00:26:03.528 --> 00:26:05.797 align:center line:53% position:50% size:48%
but the life
in the communities.

00:26:05.864 --> 00:26:08.733 align:start line:10% position:13% size:75%
Please, I'm asking you to dial
that number on your screen

00:26:08.800 --> 00:26:13.071 align:center line:10% position:50% size:68%
or get online
and give the very best gift
you can today

00:26:13.138 --> 00:26:16.641 align:center line:10% position:50% size:65%
to give the gift of life
by giving the gift of food

00:26:16.708 --> 00:26:19.110 align:center line:10% position:50% size:68%
to these mothers
and their precious children

00:26:19.177 --> 00:26:21.646 align:center line:10% position:50% size:73%
here in Angola that
so desperately need our help.

00:26:22.647 --> 00:26:23.815 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
JAMES: Thank you so much

00:26:23.882 --> 00:26:25.050 align:start line:58% position:10% size:30%
for helping.

00:26:25.116 --> 00:26:27.252 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
I really do pray that

00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:29.421 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
that you responded to put

00:26:29.487 --> 00:26:31.890 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
God's arms around children

00:26:31.957 --> 00:26:33.058 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
that without the love of God

00:26:33.124 --> 00:26:34.926 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
won't make it.

00:26:34.993 --> 00:26:36.628 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
We asked Heather,

00:26:36.695 --> 00:26:37.829 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
how do we pray for you?

00:26:37.896 --> 00:26:38.897 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
She said, "Just pray that

00:26:38.964 --> 00:26:41.099 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
this book will be read and

00:26:41.166 --> 00:26:43.568 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
be a blessing to so many.

00:26:43.635 --> 00:26:45.737 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
It's why I wrote it."

00:26:45.804 --> 00:26:46.871 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
She wants to help people

00:26:46.938 --> 00:26:48.440 align:start line:58% position:10% size:23%
like you.

00:26:48.506 --> 00:26:49.541 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
You reach out

00:26:49.607 --> 00:26:50.709 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
and touch a starving child,

00:26:50.775 --> 00:26:52.110 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
give them life,

00:26:52.177 --> 00:26:53.411 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
we'll gladly send it to you

00:26:53.478 --> 00:26:54.713 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
to say thank you.

00:26:54.779 --> 00:26:56.047 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
Heather, we pray

00:26:56.114 --> 00:26:57.215 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
God's blessings all over you

00:26:57.282 --> 00:26:58.483 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
and everything you do;

00:26:58.550 --> 00:26:59.718 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
in Jesus name.

00:26:59.784 --> 00:27:01.019 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
Thanks for being our guest!

00:27:01.086 --> 00:27:02.187 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
HEATHER: Thank you!

00:27:02.253 --> 00:27:03.521 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
My absolute honor.

00:27:03.588 --> 00:27:04.756 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
JAMES: Hey, thank you

00:27:04.823 --> 00:27:05.924 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
for helping us bless

00:27:05.991 --> 00:27:07.125 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
so many people

00:27:07.192 --> 00:27:08.360 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
all over the world

00:27:08.426 --> 00:27:10.362 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
and save many lives.

00:27:10.428 --> 00:27:12.430 align:start line:58% position:10% size:25%
Thank you.
