I grew up not an only child but I was a lonely child because there was 11 years between me and my baby uh me and my older sister so by the time I came along everybody was married and gone and uh you know or or they were because my sister got married like when she was about 16 or so and so wasn’t I didn’t have many years at home with them uh but the the the crazy thing is that it I was I felt isolated a lot and I didn’t understand that as a child um and then I lost my father and uh I didn’t understand that because I was like a

daddy’s girl um but it’s like my life was so isolated and it wasn’t until I got grown that I realized all of that was the purpose of God being molded in my life because he became everything to me and he put things in me and you and somebody that’s listening to us today put things in us and I know from for me that I had no clue were there I’m I’m telling you preaching talking having a conversation with somebody was so opposite of my nature and then I married a man who loves to talk so that was that

was awesome because he talked I didn’t have to and so it was but it it was it was in those moments that I learned to hear God and uh he he he kept requiring things of me I had to surrender uh to the loneliness I had to surrender to the fact that he took my sister when I was only two years old I had to Sur surrender to the fact that I lost my I kept like saying God I’m young but you keep taking me to this place called The Altar and I keep having to lay things down on this altar but I’m telling you I would have never

known that I was a worshipper had he not required things from me to lay on the altar I would have never known that that there was a leader in me but I had to go to that place of surrender
