We should love each other.
But there are some people, there are some people that I think won't be your cup of tea and that's okay.
I've also learned like, and I'm not going to ever write songs about like, you don't have to like them, just go on.
Cause I feel like it's implied, you know, but what's not implied is like the people you hate, you should love.
Like it's just, and, um,

I just, I find so much more peace in promoting a more broad love and let people get to dissect that for themselves because I'm like, yeah, this resonates with me no matter where I'm at on my journey.

Yeah.
This is one of my favorite stories.
And this is about not knowing your direct impact on people, but I sometimes get the privilege of hearing exactly what that meant.
I was singing at a devotional, and they had a speaker before me.
And she's now my good friend, Heather Van Boren.
And she is a double amputee.
A couple of years ago, before Christmas, she was walking out of a Costco parking lot and got hit by a car that was coming out and pinned her between two cars and she lost her legs.
And when she talks about the story, she just talks about all of the miracles.
She's such a good sport and she has so much hope and love and.
just wonder looking back and being like, wow, how wonderful that was.
Um, she was on the phone with her husband when the accident happened and he was a surgeon at the hospital that shared the parking lot with the Costco.
And so he heard it and was able to be there almost, you know, within minutes.
