Right. What you all could actually be. So you get to redefine it. Now, I will do some predictions for you. When you step back, some people will step up. Some people who always said, well, she'll handle it. She'll pay for it. She'll do it. Some people will step up and then some things actually won't get done. And you let it fall to the ground.

Some people are so dependent on you that when you say, I'm not doing it anymore, some stuff will drop and that's okay. You got to let it drop. Yeah.

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. And I know we like to talk about God use me up. God says, I'm not a user.

I'm not here to use you just to bless others. It's actually to flow into you so you can get from your overflow. When you are nourished, then it won't drain you or empty you to share with those girls in the home that you share with. But for too long, we are made to believe that we must say yes to everything. And that's the Christian thing to do.

The holiness of no. Yes. The holiness of no. Because we're made to feel guilty for our no. We're made to feel guilty that like you have to say yes to everyone and everything to be sufficient, to be a good person. That's what you said yesterday. How much is enough? How much is enough? Why do I have to keep proving I'm a good person? And so now, you know, you get to say yes to yourself.

You get to say yes to your relationships. You get to say yes to the young children, the girls you have taken in. But it starts with the nourishment of your own soul. So I want to invite you to start doing morning rituals. where you feed your spirit before you start the day so that you do not go through the day running on empty. Feed you first. This made some sense to you today?
