January 21, 2025 Daily Reading WITH AFTER THOUGHTS- Read the Bible in 1 Year
15 Plays9 months ago
Longer than usual video alert! This video is 40 minutes and I usually try to keep them to under 20 minutes. This video essentially contains an "After Thoughts" session because there is SOO MUCH content! Feel free to dismiss the younger kids after the daily Bible Reading but keep watching for yourself and the older kids. There is a LOT of good stuff today! T
Today we will read about Moses' first encounter with the Great I AM, God. God gives Moses a job to do but Moses lacks the self confidence to do the job alone. We will read about how the Great I AM responds to Moses' concerns and discuss how WE are capable when God gives us a job to do, too! Just as God said He would be with Moses, He is with US, too! God does NOT set us up for failure! Spoiler Alert: If God gives you a task to do, YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL! It may not look the way YOU think it is supposed to look, but God does NOT fail! God works EVERYTHING into good!

Introduction and Setup
00:00:03
Speaker
Hi there, everyone. Today is Tuesday, January 21st, 2025, and you are here with Robin at In the Family Way Coaching as we read the Bible today. We are going through the entire Bible in one year, and we are reading a storybook form, and it is by, it is called the Day by Day Kids Bible, and it's written by Karen Henley.
00:00:25
Speaker
You may or may not know that Karen Henley is the author of the Beginner's Bible. So you may or may not already realize that you are familiar with her as an author.
Benefits of Chronological Bible Reading
00:00:34
Speaker
And she has done such a great job on this version of the Bible because it's pretty complete. ah it And it tells us the story of everything that's going on in the Bible. And it does it in timeframe order. So it's from start to finish rather than at some point the Bible kind of skips around a little bit and it can be a little confusing ah to understand what happened where in the timeline. And that can just be a little confusing. So I love this version of the Bible because it's a great first step ah for reading the Bible and especially to have it presented in the format of doing it in a one whole year. So it it really encourages getting the whole story for the most part
00:01:18
Speaker
ah in in as little as a year. And a year sounds like a long time, but it really isn't because you can go 20 years of reading different parts of the Bible and still never actually have read everything in the Bible. So if you are with me and you are under the age of 20, you are might well be ahead of people as an adult who have not yet read through the entire Bible in a year or at all at any point in their life.
00:01:46
Speaker
So i that's why I like this event for all ages is because it it really just puts everything in a very easy to understand manner without skimming on major details.
00:02:01
Speaker
So I'm so glad you're here with me as we are reading through the Bible every day this year.

And I love the fact that you are joining me via YouTube or via my site, whether you have found me on TikTok, whether you are listening via Zencaster or whether you have found me on Spotify or on Facebook. I'm so glad that you're here and I'm so glad that you are reading the Bible.
00:02:25
Speaker
We are going to be reading about Moses
Focus on Moses and Exodus
00:02:28
Speaker
again today. This is the book of Exodus. So Moses is going to be in every day of our reading ah of the book of Exodus because this is the story about how God uses Moses to take the the ah Jewish people, Abraham and Jacob's family, out of Egypt where God had provided for them during the famine that was going on in that area of the world.
00:02:56
Speaker
So they've been there for quite some time. And as they've grown in number because God did say He would make them into a great nation, they are a great-sized nation in a country that is not their nation. So the people of that nation are a little jealous of the provision that God is making for them. And we read in our first day of Exodus that ah the harder they worked, God blessed them even more. They were blessed.
00:03:26
Speaker
So God is taking care of his people in Egypt. Even though they are being mistreated, as we saw yesterday, they were the they would even just be beaten up by Egyptian people because the Egyptian people were treating them like second-class citizens.
00:03:42
Speaker
And even though they were considered second-class citizens, they were responsible for doing a lot of the major work that was being done in Egypt. So at the same time, the king didn't necessarily want them to leave because they were a major free or cheap labor source.
00:03:59
Speaker
So that was a double-edged sword and they felt very much like they were enslaved. And God saw how his people were being treated and he cares about how people are treated. Whether it's in the time of Exodus or whether it is the time of today, God cares about you. He cares about me. He cares about his people.
The Burning Bush Encounter
00:04:19
Speaker
And we are God's people. We are all members of the body of Christ.
00:04:24
Speaker
and he cares about us and he wants us ah to come to him and that's what the people did. They cried out to God and at the proper time when Moses was of the right age and then he requested Moses, he told Moses that he was going to be the one to lead the people out of Egypt and into their promised land, the land that he promised Jacob and Isaac and Abraham long ago. So that is what the story of Exodus is going to be showing us. And in today's entry, we are going to be seeing how God called Moses.
00:05:08
Speaker
And one of the things that I love about, ah and that I want you to kind of just keep your ears open for, is that ah Moses is not afraid to ask God questions. And I i love that. So i at the same time, I want us to not be afraid to go to God. And when it seems that he's asking us to do things, don't be afraid to ask him questions about it.
00:05:38
Speaker
But at the same time, we will see that Moses is ah not confident in his ability to do what God is asking him to do. And we will see how God ah answers that. Do you remember when Abraham was talking to God and he was asking him to save the city of Sodom if 50 people who were righteous were found, if 40, 35, 20, 25, 10? And time and time again, God was ah caring in his in his acceptance.
00:06:16
Speaker
of Abraham's concern. He didn't get angry with Abraham for asking again. And in the same way, he doesn't ah get angry at us if we want to ask him about things, but ah but we do need to do what God tells us to do, as we will see in Moses, as Moses asks him for help to do what God wants him to do. And we will see how God provides for Moses Well, I am ready to begin our entry today and it's a little bit
Moses' Mission and God's Plan
00:06:50
Speaker
longer. So this video may end up being a little bit longer. And I think I'm going to do an afterthoughts video today. So keep your eye open for that as well to be posted because there is just so much to talk about ah in this book and and just an application, personal application and like that for me so that I can hopefully share with you and have that be a source of encouragement.
00:07:15
Speaker
as we are here together. So we are going to be reading through ah Exodus chapter three and Exodus chapter four today. And the first section is entitled fire. Moses took care of Jethro's sheep. And one day he took them far across the desert. He came to Horeb mountain. It's sometimes called God's mountain.
00:07:43
Speaker
God came to Moses there and he showed himself as fire that was burning in a bush. Moses saw the fire and he also saw that the bush didn't burn up. So Moses thought, well, this is strange. Why doesn't the bush burn up? I'll take a closer look. God saw Moses walk in closer. And so God called to him from the bush, Moses, Moses.
00:08:11
Speaker
I'm here," said Moses. Don't come any closer, said God. Take off your shoes. You're standing on land that is special. It's just for me. Then God said, I'm the God of your family from long ago. I'm Abraham's God, Isaac's God, and Jacob's God. Moses hid his face when he heard this. He was too scared to look at God.
00:08:40
Speaker
I have seen how unhappy my people are, said God. I've heard them crying in Egypt. Their masters are hard on them. And I care about how they are hurting. So I have come to save them. I have come to take them out of Egypt. I'll take them to a good, big land. It's a land that's rich. Plenty of food grows there. So I want you to go to Egypt, said God. I'm sending you to the king. You'll bring the my people out of Egypt. But who am I, asked Moses? I'm not strong enough to go to the king. How can I bring the Jews out of Egypt?
00:09:20
Speaker
I'll be with you, said God. Bring my people out of Egypt, and then you will worship me on this mountain, and you will know that God really sent you. Let's say I go to the Jews, said Moses, and I tell them God sent me to them. What if they asked what God's name is? Then what will I say? The name is I am who I am, said God.
00:09:49
Speaker
You'll say, I am, sent to you. Tell them that I'm the Lord. I'm Abraham's God. I'm Isaac's God. I'm Jacob's God. This will be my name forever. It's the name parents will teach their children to call me. Now go to the leaders of the Jews, said God. Tell them these things. They'll listen to you.
00:10:17
Speaker
Then all of you must go to the king and tell him that the Jews, God, talk to you. Ask the king to let you travel into the desert for three days. Ask him to let you give gifts to the Lord, your God. But I know the king, oh, sorry, wrong voice. But I know the king of Egypt, said God. He won't let you go unless someone strong makes him. So I'll hit Egypt with troubles. Then he will let you go.
00:10:48
Speaker
When my people leave, they'll go with their hands full. Ask the people of Egypt for silver, gold, and clothes. Put these on your children. Then you will leave Egypt with you will leave with the riches of Egypt.
00:11:05
Speaker
Chapter 4, The Snake. What if the Jews don't believe me? asked Moses. What if they won't listen to me, God? God, what if they say that you never came to me?
00:11:19
Speaker
What are you holding in your hand? asked God. A stick that I use for walking, said Moses. Throw it down, said God. So Moses threw his stick on the ground and it turned into a snake. Moses ran away from it. Reach out for it, said God. Pick it up again by its tail.
00:11:43
Speaker
Moses reached out and he picked up the snake and it turned back into his walking stick. Do this, it will show the people that I came to you, said God. Now put your hand inside your coat. Moses put his hand inside his coat and when he took his hand out, it was white as snow. It was covered with a skin sickness. Now put your hand back inside your coat, said God.
00:12:13
Speaker
So Moses put his hand back inside his coat, and when he took his hand out, it was well again. They might not believe the first wonder, said God, but they will believe the second one, or they might not believe it all. Then dip out some water from the Nile River and let it flow onto the ground. It will turn into blood on the ground.
00:12:37
Speaker
Then Moses said, I've never been good at talking to people. I haven't gotten any better even after you've talked to me. I'm too slow. Who gave people their mouths? asked God. Who makes people able to hear or see? Don't I do that? So go, I'll help you talk and I'll teach you what to say. Please God, said Moses, send somebody else.
00:13:08
Speaker
Then Moses, then God became angry at Moses. How about Aaron, your brother? He can talk well. He is already on his way here and he will be glad to see you. You'll talk to him and tell him what to say. I'll help both of you. He will be like a mouth for you. You will give him my words. Take your walking stick with you and you can do wonders with it. Then Moses went back to Jethro.
00:13:35
Speaker
Moses said, let me go back to Egypt and I'll see if any of my family are still alive. All right, said Jethro, I hope everything goes well. So Moses took his walking stick and went back to Egypt. His wife and sons went with him and they rode on a donkey. God said, I gave you power to do wonders, show them to the king, but I'll make his heart hard.
00:14:03
Speaker
He won't let my people go. And you'll say that God's people are like his first son. You'll say to let them go so they can worship. Tell the king that if he says no, his first son will die." Then God told Aaron, go to the desert, meet Moses there. So Aaron met Moses at God's mountain.
00:14:28
Speaker
And Aaron kissed Moses. Then Moses told Aaron what God wanted him to say, and he told him about the wonders God told him to do. Moses and Aaron went to Egypt, and they called the leaders of the Jews together. Aaron told them everything God had told Moses. He showed the wonders to the people, and they believed him. They learned that God cared about them.
00:14:54
Speaker
They learned that God saw how unhappy they were. So they bowed down and they worshiped God.
00:15:05
Speaker
So there's a lot going on in the story today. And one of the things that I wanna always make sure that we do is that we have personal application to the stories that we read by seeing ourselves.
00:15:20
Speaker
And I want to elaborate on what Moses said was the reason he didn't want to talk to the king. He said that he was too slow at speaking. And I didn't give him that slow voice when ah when he spoke. And it might've been a little confusing if I had.
00:15:44
Speaker
And Moses does talk throughout the entire book ah of Exodus, and we don't ah really hear him. But so Moses had what we might call a speech impediment. And that's how we know is because God included that one little line in the Bible to let us know that Moses was uncomfortable speaking in public because his speech was slow.
00:16:13
Speaker
So that could mean that when he tried to talk, he either stuttered, which is often how it's interpreted. But what's interesting is I actually have met somebody whose speech is slow. And when they try to speak, it takes them a minute for their mouth to work.
00:16:38
Speaker
they They know what they want to say. It's not that they have anything wrong going on upstairs, that they don't know what to say ah or anything. It's that their mouth, just there's a disconnect somewhere. And their mouth doesn't want to always cooperate with what their brain is trying to get them to say.
00:17:02
Speaker
and There's not a lot of detail on this, but every time we hear Moses speak in the Bible, it really should be where he is struggling to get the words out.
00:17:20
Speaker
And so i this is very important because ah there are many people in the world with different kinds of ah
00:17:33
Speaker
disabilities and or just we're we're not great at every single thing that we want to try to do. Everybody is good at some things and not that great at doing other things. And when God asks us to do something, it may seem like he is asking us to do something that we don't really feel that we're very good at. And God will provide a way for us to do that.
00:18:01
Speaker
Now Moses could have gone even without Aaron. Moses got ah was was very ah nervous and scared to go by himself. And so he was very bold and had no trouble, it seems like, talking to God in terms of his being not afraid to ask questions, even though his speech was slow.
00:18:26
Speaker
And God didn't give him any impatience for his speech being slow. And God knew exactly what his mouth was capable of. But it was Moses who was afraid and did not believe that he could do it. He lacked the self-confidence. And so eventually God did provide Aaron to Moses. And throughout the book of Exodus, we will see how Aaron acts on, who speaks on Moses's behalf.
Encouragement and Faith
00:18:55
Speaker
ah because Moses didn't feel comfortable conveying messages to the people himself. But God tells us he could have done it. Although he was slow, he was still capable. And so it might be that you are not ah as good at something as someone else's. You are still capable. I'm still capable.
00:19:25
Speaker
And ah my real life example for that is going to be a little bit with this videos where I've mentioned before that I i just can't seem to do editing. I have, I think three different programs where I have the ability to edit these videos. And I struggle with that. And let me tell you, I have asked God to send me people I have asked God to help me find somebody who wants to help me with this. And thus far God's answer has been no.
00:20:04
Speaker
ah So, unedited they are. And ah that must just be the way God wants it. So everything that I'm doing on these videos, I also struggle with even just learning how to record them. I have, I think four different ways to record this and I'm really only successful with Zoom. and So I open up the Zoom every single time that I need to make a recording and I ah restart the meeting if I need to rerecord something.
00:20:44
Speaker
And ah i just i ah i can there's supposed to be a way to import it and like that, but I won't go over into all the details of all the things I can do. But I've tried. And i have everything I've done, I've had to learn how to do.
00:21:02
Speaker
ah And it's not easy, but and I've asked God to to show me and to help me have people who want to maybe help me do recordings. And so part of why it took me a long time to get to this stage is just that I've been trying to learn how to do these things. There is so much involved in this process.
00:21:22
Speaker
ah just picking a podcasting site. Not all of them do video. I thought that the Zencaster was going to be automatically video, but it turns out that it's really only on audio until I have a subscription for that.
00:21:35
Speaker
ah But then Spotify requires its own individual uploads. ah Apple will take an RSS feed for video. But I have to eat activate that with either my Zencaster or give them my Spotify RSS feed. And I'm not sure I want to do that because of Spotify's rights to keeping your stuff or something. I'm not really entirely sure about that. But there's just a whole host of things. And so I would really love for somebody to just How long it helped me. And that is just not been God's answer. God says, you can do it. And I'm like, no, this is hard. And God says, you can do it. So I'm doing it.
00:22:22
Speaker
So in the same way, Moses could have done it. And I have thought about Moses in my ah preparation that sometimes I get frustrated because I think, Oh, I can't do this, but God will send me help when, if I need it. And if I don't need it, then he's not going to send me somebody.
00:22:50
Speaker
And in the same way, ah there may be times in our lives where we would really like for God to send us some help. And when we find that that is not happening, I want to shed some light on that to say that ah while it may be hard and while you may not be thinking that you can do it, if you actually needed the help, God would send it.
00:23:19
Speaker
I believe that. That is faith. So have faith in God, your personal God, who loves you and cares for you and knows how you are hurting, who knows how you are struggling, who gave you your mouth, who gave you your talents, who gave you your abilities, who gave you your disabilities. yeah Who you are is who God made you to be. And there are no mistakes.
00:23:47
Speaker
you are exactly who God intended you to be when he created you. And part of what I'm wanting to do with my appreciative coaching is to help people learn who they are so that they can learn how to use who they are to be the best person that God created them to be. Because we can use who we are for bad, or we can use who we are for good.
00:24:18
Speaker
Moses in the beginning made a mistake. He used who he was for bad when he ah killed that Egyptian man, but he also used who he was for good when he tried to stop an argument, when he went to the well and he saw the women, the girls, they didn't even call them women, they must have been young, saw the girls at the well and the shepherds pushed them back, moved them back and bullied them and he stood up. So he might not have been ah quick of speech, but he certainly had no difficulty making
00:24:51
Speaker
ah and his people move back. So he was strong physically. He may not have been the strongest verbally, but he was very smart to ask questions like, who do I tell them the name of but this God is? Because as people had their false idols and their false gods, all of their gods had names like Baal,
00:25:18
Speaker
And I don't know all of the names of false gods. That's the only one that comes to mind right now. But God is unique. We don't give God his name and these man-made idols were all given names by men. And so God is who he is. He exists. He is I am. He is the great I am.
00:25:44
Speaker
he And so the word Yahweh, when we hear the word Yahweh, that is the Hebrew translation for the word I am. And the English word can be Jehovah. And when we read it in the Bible, they will sometimes translate it as Lord. But they are all meant to say I am. That is his name, I am. His name is very powerful.
00:26:13
Speaker
Um, so that's what I wanted to talk about today is he is our great I am and we are not incapable of doing what he sets out for us to do. So if you feel that God is leading you to, to do something.
00:26:34
Speaker
Don't be discouraged if it seems hard and that it seems like you need somebody sent along to help you or you need guidance from somebody else. Your guidance will be from God. God told Moses, I will be with you. I will tell you what to say. And so that is my hope is that as we hear, as we are here,
00:26:57
Speaker
that you will hear God speaking through me, that I am listening for what God wants me to learn and to say. And that's why he is working, that is how he is working good into every, every little thing, every little struggle. It is God using it. So if he calls us, he will equip us.
00:27:28
Speaker
Even if we are slow to to get it, even if we seem like we're imperfect and who are we to do this? Who am I to be here? Who am I? I am just Robin that got his purpose for me. And he will work through me as he chooses to.
00:27:52
Speaker
And I am here to in encourage my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, no matter how young or how old you are, to have faith in God, to do what he is calling you to do every day.
00:28:13
Speaker
And I guess that's about it. I am going to potentially do an afterthoughts video after I have my thoughts together again. Although that may be pretty complete, I'll decide later on. yeah There's always something that God is teaching me. He teaches me something every day. And I'm just so excited about the the things that God teaches me and the vision that he gives me um to see the connection.
00:28:39
Speaker
between things ah that I just want to open my mouth and share these things with anybody and everybody who is willing to listen and hear about these connections because I think they're amazing and they're so I think they're just so relevant and they're just so awesome of God to work everything together so well.
00:29:04
Speaker
And i i I asked God um i a long time ago, and I and i ask, I always reaffirm, I said, I want to give him the glory for things. So I am like that little kid on The Incredibles movie.
00:29:20
Speaker
who is riding his tricycle and he sees Mr. Incredible one day throwing a tantrum where he picks up his car as he gets home and he is ready to row the car when he looks over and he sees this little boy watching him do incredible things that he is not supposed to be able to do. And the little boy's just jaw drops open. And now every single day that little boy sits there at the driveway waiting for Mr. Incredible to get home.
00:29:51
Speaker
until Mr. Incredible finally says to him, who is at this point not Mr. Incredible, but going by the name Bob Parr, which is in of itself ah a very funny name because Parr means to be just average. And Bob is just a general average name. So his whole the whole symbolism there is is just that he is average. He's an average Joe.
00:30:13
Speaker
which he is not. And he says to the little boy who is standing there, who's sitting on his tricycle every single day, he finally says to him, what are you waiting for? And the little boy says, I don't know, something amazing, I guess. In that same way, I am always looking for God to do something amazing.
00:30:37
Speaker
because I know he does and I wanna be there to see it. And then when I see it, I wanna tell everybody about it. So one of the things that I like to jokingly say is, um is that if God didn't want anybody to know, he certainly wouldn't tell me about it.
00:30:57
Speaker
because as as soon as I know about something, not in a gossipy, bad way, but I am so excited. I just want to tell everybody about it. If there is something amazing and awesome, I want to tell everybody about it. Look what I saw. Look what I saw. This is amazing. Check this out. Look what God did. Look what God did. This is amazing. Check this out. So if God wanted it to be kept a secret, He certainly wouldn't tell me about it because I can't keep it a secret. I want to tell everybody so many amazing things.
00:31:26
Speaker
It's like when we read in the New Testament that Jesus did so many things that they couldn't write them all down and that there wouldn't be enough books in the world. so We would fill the whole world with books if every single thing Jesus did while he was among the people was written down. He did that many amazing things that even though we have a whole New Testament full of them, there are so many. I want to know what those things were.
00:31:57
Speaker
and And that is what our testimony is, is that our testimony is is when we see something happening. And so ah that's what these videos are are partially my purpose. is is just This is a bigger way for me to tell people about what I see. And so when I see God working good into every single little aspect of our lives by using these examples of what we see in the Old Testament and in the New Testament and how we're made to make connection with those, I just want to talk to everybody who will give me forever time to listen to them. As you can see, this video is quite long. um But it's it's my excitement and my joy. and And that's why I'm here. So that's what we're seeing ah with Moses, is that he is going to um be used by God. And this is where that starts.
00:32:51
Speaker
And so the story of Moses in in this encounter with God is super amazing to me. Not only was God incredibly patient and and was very conversational with Moses. Do you see how personal and conversational he was? Moses hid his face from God. He didn't want to see God because he was scared, but he certainly didn't have any trouble voicing all of his questions and concerns. And his first question is, what is your name?
00:33:23
Speaker
How personal is that? well Isn't that the first thing we do when we meet somebody? Is we say, hi, my name is, what's your name? Well, God knew Moses' name, he called it. But Moses wanted to know God's name. Isn't that amazing? Out of all the first questions he could have asked, the first question out of his mouth was, what's your name? Who should I say is sending me?
00:33:51
Speaker
So, ah without making this video too terribly long. I guess I will end that there or because I really could just keep going on and on about all the amazing things and all the connections with Moses.
00:34:07
Speaker
And I hope that you are encouraged to remember Moses when you feel that God is giving you something to do, that it is not too hard for you no matter how hard it seems to be, ask God for help. Ask Him to send you, somebody, if if that's what you're looking for. But if the answer turns out to be no, I want you to be encouraged. Because the reason that answer is no is because He will be with you and He will work through you and you can do it. Because God does not send us out for failure. He doesn't give you work to do so that you can fail.
00:34:49
Speaker
He gives you work to do so you can succeed. So I want you to think of it that way too. And that's one of the things that God has taught me and that I remind myself if I'm feeling discouraged or I feel like I'm just not getting this. I'm not doing this right. You know what? You are too. Because that's the enemy that wants to discourage us because he knows we are doing what God wants us to do.
00:35:13
Speaker
And God didn't expect Moses to go in and and speak eloquently. He expected Moses to go in and speak.
00:35:25
Speaker
So it doesn't matter what how how good or you think you are doing at it. God says you can do it. You're going to do it. and you can keep working at it to try to make it better if you feel like you want to make it better for God because the Bible says that whatever you do, do it as though you are doing it for God. Man, I used to do the dishes like that. I would sit there and I hated doing the dishes and I would say, Lord, I'm washing these dishes for you.
00:35:52
Speaker
I'm gonna do a good job because I am washing these dishes for you. I kid you not. So whatever it is you are doing, do it for as though you were doing it for the Lord. And if you have trouble doing it as though you are doing it for him, then do it for him. And watch how your heart changes. Cause that's what happened with me. So I know if it happened to me, it will happen to you because as Moses said, who am I? I am just like you. I am your sister in Christ.
00:36:23
Speaker
And if God is telling you, you can do it, you will succeed. So thank you so much for joining me here today. And, uh, I am really glad I'm not going to take another take on this video. This is it. I think this is my first one and I'm happy with it because it is exactly what I think we need to hear today.
Community Engagement and Future Aspirations
00:36:50
Speaker
So thank you so much for being here with me today, whether you are joining me via YouTube or whether, and if you are on YouTube, please also remember to click the like button so that it can have those little likes. I do like to see those little likes on there, I must confess. I do like to see that. And if you are watching via my site, then you'll let me know when you've watched it.
00:37:13
Speaker
And if you are listening by chance on TikTok, then you can also head over to my site at inthefamilywaycoaching dot.com. I also have that website in my bio. Or you can find me on YouTube. I've included the channel in my bio. Or if you are listening via Zencaster or if you are on Facebook.
00:37:34
Speaker
then you can also head over to my site. I don't have a lot of blog or anything written on the site, so pretty much all you're going to see is this right now because there's only so much time I have time to do everything but it's building and if you just keep checking back then i I get additional pages added such as last week I added two pages I made an afterthoughts page and I made the family album page where you can see pictures of Scooby and Kitty and Godzilla and it might not seem like a lot of accomplishment but it really is because I'm doing all this while also working a 40-hour week job
00:38:12
Speaker
So ah I feel like I'm doing a lot. These things take actually a lot of my time and I love it. It's it's not ah Bad these these are my labor of love and I love every single minute and that's one of the reasons why I have to put in a little thing here for if you want to ah support might this event because eventually I I know that God has said that the ah Workers are worth the pay and so I'm hoping eventually that I will have
00:38:43
Speaker
people willing to support this event and other events that I do ah with small amounts a month, like $10 a month, so that I can eventually transfer my time into spending more time here on the site, ah doing blog articles and doing classes with people, because I have other classes that I'm going to be doing too, such as my ah class called ah full body dilation, the art of the smile, which is really kind of the the main
00:39:15
Speaker
event that I'm going to eventually get to. But God is using this event and my AfterThoughts event to help me learn how to ah build and do that event. And that will come this year as well sometime, I think, hopefully sooner, because I'm impatient. And so ah that is my goal is to eventually be able to ah become less at a secular job and that I want this here to be more of my full-time job. So I do make everything voluntary. I put everything out here so that everybody can just yeah view it and enjoy it. And if somebody happens to feel led, then that would be God's provision. But I'm letting that opportunity be there for availability, not as obligation, but as choice.
00:40:07
Speaker
So I don't want anybody to feel pressured by that. I only want that to be something that if you feel that God is leading you to do so. So I do want to make that perfectly clear. And, but it has to start somewhere, right? So here I am putting it out there. So thank you again very much for everybody being here. And I know this is a very long video today. Maybe the kids have already gone. That's okay.
00:40:32
Speaker
But thank you very much for ah your faithfulness to be here with me and your faithfulness to commit to reading God's Bible every day this year in 2025 with me in the family way coaching. I will see everybody again tomorrow. And until then, I hope the rest of your evening is fantastic.
