It's one thing to allow the criticism of other people to affect you. It's another thing to allow it to deter you.

But then you have to ask yourself, am I going to let it stop what God is doing in my life.

When you're really called, you want it, and you don't want it at the same time.

When you have greatness in your life, seeds of greatness always grow best in the soil surrender.

What's up? We are back. It's your girl Sarah Jakes Roberts and you are listening to the

Woman Evolve Podcast.

I am actually recording this.

Well, I'm recording this on camera and on logic

because I never get to respond to your questions on video because I don't

record myself and they may want to use this for social media but before I do that I

want to just catch you up on my life. So this is Monday,

September 9th when I am recording this podcast. We are a little over two weeks away from the

Woman Evolve Conference. I'm starting to get

excited. At first I was a little, you know, it's a lot logistically and stuff and

now that's kind of settled, it's moving along and then I can maybe get a little nervous I don't

know if you're like me is it anxiety where I just need something to worry about and

so I'm no longer in the worrying phase I'm in the gratitude phase and the opening phase.

I think it's our fast. We've been fasting for 40 days before the Womine-E-Bolve conference

because I just want to be ready spiritually for whatever God wants to do through my life.

I want to be open and focused and settled in my identity in the Lord.

And also, yeah, I just can't wait to be in the room with you.

So I'm excited about that.
