Hi, everybody. Sandy Boucher here, and welcome back to my world. I got a special request for a video this morning on a very important topic, and that topic is belief and trust. As you know, I often use the metaphor of a parent and child. And the metaphor I'm about to use, I see play out so often in real life. We ask our child to make sure to lock the door when they leave or to make sure to deliver a message. But after a little while, we check to make sure they did it. You see, we believed that they would. We just didn't trust that they would. Because if we trusted, we wouldn't have had to check. That sends out a very strong message to our children. That example I just used, that metaphor is the example I use when I speak of the Creator and how I can go through life happy and content, knowing that I'm going to be just fine. And it isn't because I. I believe the Creator is leading me on the right path. I trust that he is. I don't waste any time worrying about if I'm going to be okay. I know I'm going to be okay. I put my time and energy instead into analyzing and realizing why things have come into my life. If someone new comes into my life, I know the Creator sent them there for a reason. I'm going to pay attention to their words, their actions. Maybe they're going to show me what I should be doing. Maybe they're going to show me what I shouldn't be doing. If an assignment comes my way, if a challenge comes my way, sometimes it's to remind me what's really important. Sometimes it's to remind me how strong I've come. And sometimes it's a challenge for a friend and I get to thank the Creator that I have the skills to be able to help them through it. I have challenges to come. I don't worry about what's coming next because I know I needed to grow into the person I'm gonna be. And I trust that the Creator knows exactly what I need. Food for thought, my friend. Food for thought. I hope you're having an amazing day, whether it's filled with challenges or not, because I trust that you're going to be just fine. Have a great day. Bye. Bye.
