Welcome back friends. Rise you
had a couple verses you wanted
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.43
to share.
00:00:03.47\00:00:04.80
Yeah, speaking of this verse
in relation to your experience
00:00:04.83\00:00:06.53
where Peter is talking about how
people think it's strange that
00:00:06.57\00:00:11.27
you're not running with them.
Right? In 1 Peter 4:4 it says
00:00:11.31\00:00:14.84
they think it's strange that
you're not running with them.
00:00:14.88\00:00:16.41
And I think that's true...that
was your experience that you had
00:00:16.44\00:00:20.55
literally with your team mates.
You know why aren't you running
00:00:20.58\00:00:24.19
with us? You know what's to do
with this. But you're going to
00:00:24.22\00:00:26.55
experience that again in your
life right? Where the world is
00:00:26.59\00:00:28.82
like how come you're not running
with us. Why are you living so
00:00:28.86\00:00:31.86
differently and
yet you know why.
00:00:31.89\00:00:35.56
Yeah. What would you like
to share with our audience in
00:00:35.60\00:00:37.43
closing, Lydia. Just a
message of conviction and faith.
00:00:37.47\00:00:41.90
Well I would say stand, stand
for what you believe in and
00:00:41.94\00:00:49.34
stand even if it's not easy.
I would just encourage you to
00:00:49.38\00:00:54.45
stay strong.
00:00:54.48\00:00:55.82
Amen, amen. I love that.
You know when I think about your
00:00:55.85\00:01:00.96
experience it was for such a
time as this. You know for this
00:01:00.99\00:01:04.29
moment, for this time. And we
don't know what's ahead of us.
00:01:04.33\00:01:07.20
in this country, in the world.
But we do know that we are going
00:01:07.23\00:01:09.93
be going through some trials
and that God is preparing us for
00:01:09.96\00:01:13.97
those trials. He's prepared you,
Lydia, for those trials. And
00:01:14.00\00:01:16.60
when we take a stand for
God in these littler trials we
00:01:16.64\00:01:21.24
prepare ourselves to take
a stand in the bigger trials.
00:01:21.28\00:01:22.61
So every day you get up and you
run and you prepare yourself for
00:01:22.64\00:01:26.92
the track and field or for the
meets that are coming and that
00:01:26.95\00:01:31.32
preparation is what makes you
stronger when you actually run
00:01:31.35\00:01:34.06
that race. And so I think what
you've gone through here in this
00:01:34.09\00:01:37.56
little trial has made you
stronger for the track meet
00:01:37.59\00:01:40.83
ahead, the big trial that's
going to be coming to all of us
00:01:40.86\00:01:43.57
very, very soon. Really
appreciate your testimony Lydia.
00:01:43.60\00:01:47.30
And Madeline thank you for being
with us and also sharing that
00:01:47.34\00:01:51.57
testimony. And friends, I hope
you've been blessed and I know
00:01:51.61\00:01:53.84
that each one of us has our own
little trials. I hope that the
00:01:53.88\00:01:59.01
testimony of Lydia has been
a blessing and an encouragement
00:01:59.05\00:02:00.72
to you to be strong
and stand for the Lord.
00:02:00.75\00:02:04.45
Until next time
may God bless you.
