You resign, you turn in your resignation, and now you will be solely the sister. And when we change and when we heal, some people don't like it. When people have been depending on you, they will not appreciate the boundaries.

Yes, absolutely. So one, you talked about blessed to be a blessing, which is beautiful. And I want to ask, are you a person of faith? I am. Okay. I want to say to you that God or your creator did not make you just to be an instrument for other people's relief. You are not just a vehicle for other people.
