Because the Lord did not lead me.

She wasn't fasting, but

there was just moments in the fast.

Like we go two days in and I'm like, Jesus, just water is struggling.

And I remember I was sitting on the couch and Emmy was like, babe, how are you doing?

And I was just like, I just, I'm just trying to see God.

Like, I just want to speak to the Lord.

She was like, let's go in a room right now.

Let's go speak to him, get on them keys.

And so I remember I started playing piano and the Lord just started moving and

And I remember he told me that he was going to show up through Emmy.

And I didn't know what that looked like.

And Emmy, I promise you, the Holy Spirit leads Emmy to help me in this moment to see Jesus in a new way.

And through those moments, I remember giving him all my expectations, my burdens, and I placed them in his pierced palms.

And I remember Emmy was like, now ask him one question.

And I was like, okay, I don't know what that question is, but I heard the Holy Spirit say, ask him how he wants you to lead his sheep.

And I was like, okay.

And at this point, Emmy leaves the room and it's just me and Jesus.

And I verbally asked him and I was like, Jesus, how do you want me to lead your sheep?

And he says, I want you to lead them to my presence, then teach them me.
