Dig in there a little bit more like help us understand, share with our listeners. I mean here you were, you, you wanted to follow the rules and please mom and dad. So you agreed to do it. But there was some internal I want to do my own thing, go my own way and live my life on my own terms. But you're hearing the truth. What were a few of those truths that really sunk deep or that really you remember as well that's transformative or you mentioned the steps. How did you meet with the Lord in the step?
Yeah, I think two things. I believe the lie that my parents, I saw it as my parents having too much expectations for me. So I remember having conversations with God or like family meetings. I think all Christian homes know about like family meetings. And it's like no, I think we have too much expectations. And I feel like I always have to do something thinking it's my parents expectations. But that was a lie. However it was really that calling that the Lord had on me. So here it is, I'm seeing this is what my parents, this is what my parents want. But the more I locked in with the truth of who God says, who I am, it's the more the truth fought in between a lie to know it's not them having expectations on me, it's who I was created to be. Because why would I feel like it was expectations? Because God's calling always fight through the well I just want to be able to go certain places that I have never ever witnessed in my life up to this day. And it's like but it's no the fight is because you know that something is fighting for that love. Something is fighting for that calling. So that was one of the lies on that truth in terms of who I was created to be, which is things that God really wanted me to do. And that's those, those asks if you want to put it like that started from a young age with any steps. Those things revealed a lot of stuff that boundaries that I probably would have taken for granted. Right. So let's say the things that we expose ourselves as with young people conversations how where we place ourselves even like with the opposite sex, all these different things that we are not thinking could have spiritual roots, but those things could. If it's one thing I know with these steps and I encourage people, you know, it's like and something I know my mom always says, if it comes to your mind this time, denounce it, call it out, denounce it. And I think things that we take for granted but got uprooted within those moments, okay? I want you to deal with that right?
