Hey,

00:03
Renee, I love being with you every time we get together. I mean, it’s like nuns,

00:08
you talk about our favorite subject, yeah, exactly. And it just goes on and on. I mean, sometimes we’re together for quite long periods of time and we’re still sharing these stories back and forth. I, I often say the the most fun conversations any you put any two faith shares together, and it’s, it’s not one upping each other, but that reminds you, I was in a store like that once, and you just have all these stories and, and then the joy that comes. I mean, they could think of how much fun it is. It’s fun. And you have any fear right now? I mean, a lot of bad things going you have any fear? No,

00:43
no, my only fear is that I, I don’t share with someone that I should, that’s the fear. Yeah, that’s a godly fear. Yeah, right, because I want to, we should always have that. Yes, you should always have be sensitive to that, yeah. But you know, I was getting my oil changed. And I, I go to the same place to get my oil changed. I’m, yeah, avid believer in getting your oil changed, right? Because your car will last longer, yeah? So, because this place and you had to keep it waxed too, you gotta keep it waxed, yes.

01:16
But I go to the same place and there’s, there’s a guy there behind the counter that I see every time. He’s the manager, and I was actually the first customer at this particular store at and when they opened, I was their first customer. So, you know, you get to know people by name, and I love people. So

01:37
I asked him, you know, do you go to church anywhere, you know. And he said, No, my mom does. And he starts, you know, oh gosh,

01:46
normal body posture, but by this time, you know, we we’ve already have, yes, you definitely that first, yeah, he knows me, and you know, he doesn’t even have to ask my name. Why come in, right?

01:59
And so I begin to pray for him, and week after week, you know, I’ve prayed for him and, and his family, and he’d sometimes he’ll share needs well over the course of a year, two years, you know, I did invite him to church. Some people, I usually don’t invite people to church, but sometimes I do just whatever the Lord leads me to do. Sure, yeah. And pretty soon, you know, there he is, right on the front row and his girlfriend. And, you know, that’s been a few years. They’re here every week, and part of the family of God, and in, you know, in small group, learning God’s word and flourishing and much timing. And I just, you know, it just takes a conversation where you’re already going anyway, why don’t you just go ahead? It takes, it takes so little time. Yeah, it takes so little time. You know, we are soul mates. I mean, we are both enjoying. We have different lives, but we have the same life. We have this great privilege, right, of representing Him every moment of every day and to hang out with you for a few minutes is always special. Thank you.
