We had two teenagers, you know, and it was a significant amount of income that we had coming into our family. And to walk away from all of that and literally give everything away because that was the second part of it wasn't just step away from your business and stop generating income, but it was give away everything you have. And I was like, God, what does that look like?

And so a lot of people, it's hard for them to fathom, you know, especially in this day and age, because, you know, you read the Bible about the rich young ruler and where Jesus asked him to give everything away and to walk with him. And the rich young ruler said, I can't do that. And he went away sad. And so we don't know what would happen if he said, okay, I'll give away everything.

But I felt like that was a test for us. And, you know, I know it's not a test for everybody, but it was a test for us.

Right. The interesting was like during that season of time, like we had zero income coming in. Like we're trying to figure out how to pay bills because we had bills. Um, you live in your house. We had a mortgage. We had electricity, water, trash, food, everything. Yeah, we had the house up for sale and it wouldn't sell.

And that was like really frustrating too, because in the back of my mind, I was thinking, well, we have equity in the house and, you know, that could be our fallback and all that stuff, but it would not sell. And so literally we were living by faith for a month, a month, a month. And the interesting thing was, was he provided. Like he provided every single month. And so I would sell things.

You know, we had bills to pay. I would go up in the attic and say, we're not using this. I put it on, you know, whatever the eBay or whatever it is. And I'd sell it and have enough money to pay the bills for that month. And then next month would come. But then it got to one month where I was like, I don't have anything else to sell.

Like we sold everything unless we want to start selling our furniture that we use every day.

And what was crazy, though, is like, I felt like he said at that point, he says, now will you trust me? Because like every single month, because he said, you know, think back, because at this time, we're like a year and a half into it. And he said, think back, have you ever missed a bill? Have you ever been late on a payment?
