Thanks so much for being with us today. I know God sees you taking this time to learn more about

him, to grow, and to really become all that you've created to be. So know today that God is

smiling down on you. We love you as well. Well, God bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes.

And if you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services.

I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home.

I'd like to start with something funny.

And one day, Adam was feeling very lonely.

God said, Adam, I'm going to make you a companion.

It's going to be called a woman.

This person will cook for you and wash your clothes.

She will bear you children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night.

She will always agree with you.

And if you have a disagreement, she'll be the first to admit she was wrong.

Adam said, wow, God, what will a woman like this

cost? God said, an arm and a leg. Adam said, what can I get for a rib? And the rest is history. Say it like

you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My heart is receptive.

I will never be the same in Jesus' name. God bless you. I want to talk to you today about sleep on. It's easy to live

frustrated because somebody's not doing what we want or discouraged because of a disappointment,

upset because a dream hasn't come to pass. But I've learned God doesn't remove every frustration. He doesn't change every person we don't

like and take away everything that's bothering us. The scripture says be still and know that he is

God. This implies if we're not still, if we're upset, worried, frustrated, we're not going to know that he is God.
