And I think there's so many people who are like, oh, Emmy, like you're so soft.

I wouldn't argue that I turned soft.

I would argue that I turned dependent because I was so independent that

off of this hyper-masculinative energy where my childhood taught me to be the man, taught me to be the parent, taught me to be the emotionally healthy one, that taught me to be the leader, that the moment I met a man like you, Malik, who was able to make me feel safe and I could finally rest at night,

i was able to not fall into just a form of softness but i'm falling into this alignment of dependence and that dependence wasn't only necessary for our marriage but that dependence was necessary for my relationship with the lord and it's something that i've not tasted or seen until hopping into marriage because i didn't realize how control obsessed i was and how obsessed i was how obsessed i was

I needed somebody who was able to listen to God in ways that I'd never heard him and lead me to his presence time after time.

And God has used you to help me to solely depend on him and no longer depend on myself.

Having a heart for what his heart has, like having, wanting the same burdens that God has for his people, for his creation, whatever it may be, and just asking for those things and creating a...

creating a soil that could hold something like that.

And I think of when Jesus says that his yoke is easy and his burden is light.

There's a yoke and there's a burden, whatever that is, I want it.

And if it's easy and if it's light, cool, amazing, but I want what you have.

And not for myself, like I want to do it with you and I want to be like you.
