Gods Timing is Perfect X Sarah Jakes Roberts
What will it take for you to lean against God? Tiffany Aliche sits down with SJR to discuss how God set her up for the softest landing during the hardest season of her life. You don’t want to miss this!
Look how I set you up for the softest landing for the hardest thing in your life.
Like I found my therapist like a year or so prior because I’m like, I was just feeling a little stressed or whatever.
I was like, yeah. Yeah, that’s what I told you, but I needed you to find her because you’re going to need her because unfortunately I’m taking, you know, and so all of those lessons have allowed me to like, not lean onto my own understanding and like, because I’m tired, I get to lean against like I, when I envision God, I literally envision myself as a little girl leaning against my dad, like my father
You know what? I didn’t have it before Jerrell passed away because I was still working.
Like I just started 15 years. I was working, like I said, Tiffany, you’ve made nearly $40 million in business.
What does it take for you to feel? Ok.
I was still working as if I had I was a start up and like, oh my gosh, any day now it could all crumble.
And so once Jarrell passed away, it was just like, because I had already been, I mean, you know, you know, God be talking to you and you know, like, I’m sorry, what that connection.
So I had already gotten the whispers. I had already gotten the dreams.
I had already heard the message, but I was, I didn’t have the faith that if I didn’t keep up this level of work that it would all like crumble and fall.
And then when Jarell passed away, I literally could not keep up that level of work and not only did it not crumble and fall, it grew.
And I just remember being like, and God like almost like told you tried to tell you girl, you know, like you it’s actually one you know cute that you think it’s you, it’s me.
Wow, that’s a, that’s a word in itself. Like that was really cute.
How you thought you really did all of that when really you ain’t do nothing but say yes.
And I was like, come here girl I said because he was like, you forgot he was teaching preschool.
I brought you this. How does that? You did all that math Math, sit down.
And so once that happened, it really like allowed me to be like, cause honestly, I’m, I was tired and I am tired and I’m just like, so I actually don’t have the energy to do all the things.
And so it forces me to lean against it and be like, what do you want me to do?
Just what will you have me do?
You know and and trusting that it will be the right thing because I have just seen over and over and over, you know, hindsight really is 2020 I’m like, you know, you have me do this.
That’s why I’m here. Even the fact that my sister lives down the street for me. Like I needed her.
Even the fact that one of my sisters was living with me at the time temporarily, like it was perfect timing because I, I cannot imagine living in this house by myself after passed away.
Even the fact because I’m, I know people see me as a and think I’m so friendly.
I’m actually shyer than people realize I, I am friendly but I’m like hyper shy.
So you catch me in public. I’m liable to be like, you know, frozen.
And so, but like Jarell was like, really friendly.
And so when we moved to this neighborhood, because he was just like in everybody’s business, you know, we created the Sunday supper because of him.
And so we had people come over. But what a blessing because once he wasn’t here, I needed that community.
Look what God seated in that, you know what I mean?
So what it taught me was that like, Tiffany, if you will just relax, I got you, you know, like even in the losing of your husband, I still got you.
Look how I set you up for the softest landing for the hardest thing in your life.
Like I found my therapist like a year or so prior because I’m like, I was just feeling a little stressed or whatever.
I was like, yeah. Yeah, that’s what I told you, but I needed you to find her because you’re going to need her because unfortunately I’m taking, you know, and so all of those lessons have allowed me to like, not lean onto my own understanding and like, because I’m tired, I get to lean against like I, when I envision God, I literally envision myself as a little girl leaning against my dad, like my father
