Welcome to the podcast today. Joel and I love you so much, and we are so excited that you are taking the word of God in your heart, and I believe you are going to be prepared and equipped. God has a blessing in store for you.

I believe that. It's going to be a blessed 2024. Always honored to have you listening. Enjoy the message today.

We bless you in this place. I was in a garden shop the other day and I came across some these really cute little lights,

solar lights. And I was looking at the different styles they had and I thought these are so

cute and I have the perfect place to put these lights.

There's a place at our side back door. When you walk out, you begin to walk down this little

path, and you can't see anything. It's so dark. I don't have any electricity out there.

So I thought these solar lights will be perfect to place along that path

so that we can see at night, because I'm always stumbling trying to stay on the little path.

So I took the lights, put them in the ground. It was a beautiful sunny day. I thought these lights

are going to power up. It's going to be amazing. I can't wait to take a walk tonight. See how my lights are

working. So I didn't say anything to Joel about it, but I said, hey, let's go take a walk.

So we went outside, started to go down that little path. I wanted to see if he noticed my new lights.

So as we started walking down the path, I realized my lights weren't working.

I didn't say anything to Joel because I didn't want him to know that I had put lights there

and my plan had failed.

So I just kept walking down the path.

But in my mind, I was so discouraged.

I thought, I thought those lights were just going to work beautifully.

There are solar lights. I thought, you know what, tomorrow I'm taking those lights were just going to work beautifully. They're solar lights.

I thought, you know what?

Tomorrow I'm taking those lights up and I'm marching them straight back to the store
