So great to have you with us today.

And as we enter into this spring season, just let it be a time of new beginnings,

letting go with the old, getting ready for the new things God's going to do,

and just really believe you're going to come into a blooming and a blossoming season in Jesus' name.

But God bless you and enjoy the podcast.

Thank you, Lord.

We are excited to be in your presence

and in the house of the Lord. Amen. Have you ever had an opportunity presented to you? And you said,

no, no, I don't want to do that. No, I can't do that. Maybe you didn't think you were qualified

or maybe you thought

that was someone else better for the job. Or maybe you just didn't have the resources. You know,

there's numbers of reasons that we say no when certain opportunities present themselves.

But then have you ever done that and then later got to thinking, ugh, what did I say no for?

I wish I'd have done that.

Maybe I could have done that.

Have you ever wrestled with the no before thinking, maybe I could.

Oh, maybe I should.

You see, I'll never forget one time when Joel's father was the pastor of the church back in the old building. And we were worshiping God. It was in the middle of our worship,

just like we were doing today. My hands were up. I was praising God. When I opened my eyes,

Joel's father had turned around in his seat and looked at me and said,

Victoria, why don't you go up and do the prayer time? Well, he wasn't talking about next week or the

next week. He was talking about the end of the song that was just about over.
