Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Christ with coffee on ice. I am your host,

Allie Oast, and it is a joy and honor to be here with you guys today. If it looks like I have

been crying, the answer is, when is Ali not? You know, when is she not? And I feel like as of

lately, I have had to, like physically had to film

while also feeling all the things. And today is the very last second for me to film. So I was like,

Lord, this timing is interesting. But it really, I think, testifies to the scripture that says

that it is actually only in our weakness that we get to be strengthened by the Lord and when he

gets to be our strength. And so that is definitely how I'm feeling today, but also so incredibly excited and grateful for today

and for whatever Jesus has planned for today.

I'm not going to make any promises that it's going to be wildly impactful.

I'm hoping that it does.

If it is Holy Spirit-led, he usually has something very impactful for us. But yeah, I think if I'm just

going to be honest with you guys, I don't know how much I can really get into it because this is

something that's so fresh for me right now, but something that Jesus has been revealing to me

is that there is an area of just my heart. There's an area of me

that I have been believing, operating in for my entire life that needs to change.

And it's a good thing because it means that he wants to give me freedom

and that he wants me to experience life through a lens that's not this lens anymore.

A lens of how I've been seeing myself, a lens of how I've been seeing my relationships

in my life. I just, I know that it's actually a really good thing and it means that there's

freedom on the other side and it's in his love. I actually feel so cared for by him with what I've

had to face over the last couple weeks.
