• 0:01
  SPEAKER_00: The sun's just beginning to stream in the windows as I record this message for you.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: And there's something about early light that feels like permission, almost as if God whispers, you can start again.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: So, before we begin together, I would like for you to pause with me.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: Take a long breath in and a slow breath out.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: As you do, I want you to think about one dream, one change, or one hope that's been quietly tugging at your heart.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: And then I want you to ask yourself, when do you want this?
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: This is typically a question I ask at the end of Clarity Calls.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: And almost every time the person across from me pauses, eyes wide, heart pounding, and says, I think now, yes, with a little bit of question at the end.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: And that was just like me years ago.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: I was in a season that felt stuck in shadows.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: There was a lot of closed doors and more uncertainties than I could count.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: I kept waiting for the right moment, the perfect clarity, the green light from heaven, or the wide open door that would make it so much easier.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: And as I was sitting at my desk, wondering what my next step was, I sensed the Lord say, Amy, your next step isn't something you wait to have.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's something you choose to embrace and do.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: That truth hit me like sunlight breaking through the clouds.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: Hope isn't passive.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's active trust.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's faith that says, even here, God is not done.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: Of course, in that moment at that chair at my desk, my circumstances didn't change.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: But the truth that all I had to do was choose to embrace the next step?
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that changed me.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: And that was the beginning of one of many transformations.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm curious to know, what's the thing you keep telling yourself you'll do when life settles down?
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: And what if transformation doesn't wait for better timing?
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: What if it starts when you say yes?
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: Friend, that next step, that dream, that hope, it isn't wishful thinking.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: That's resurrection thinking.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's believing that the same spirit who raised Jesus from the dead can breathe life into every dry place in you.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: Those places that say, it's hopeless.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: I've done it before.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's not going fast enough.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if I have the energy to keep going.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: In the end, hope says I don't have to see the ending to trust the good author.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: And that is the moment when your old story can begin to give way to a new one.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: I want to share with you nine ways that you can say yes to hope.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: My Enneagram 8 friend, when you surrender outcomes, you will find that true power comes from peace, not control.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: Enneagram 9, stop waiting for perfect harmony before you act.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: Your engagement creates space for the next right thing.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: Enneagram 1, release the burden of getting it all right and let grace write the next line.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: My Enneagram 2 friend, I want you to offer your love without it necessarily being needed.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes just creating that safe place, a place of love, becomes the next right step for someone else.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: Enneagram 3, I encourage you to slow down long enough so you can believe that you're enough before the outcome or results come in.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: Enneagram 4, let your beauty rise from the ashes instead of waiting for the perfect mood to create it.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: Enneagram 5, I want to invite you to risk being known.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: Trusting that connection isn't going to bring you to catastrophic depletion.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: It can renew you.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: Enneagram 6, take the next brave step even if the path looks a little foggy or is not quite clear.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: My Enneagram 7 friend, stay grounded in the present moment and be grateful for what is now, knowing the future will take care of itself.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: Now, did any of these sound like a personal invitation?
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: I do hope so.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Ultimately, I think that's where hope is asking you for your yes.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: As you consider that, ask yourself where is God already at work in me?
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: And what's one step of faith that I can take today?
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_00: Just a reminder that transformation rarely begins with a big moment.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's those ordinary, unseen moments that begins with a small surrender that says, I'm willing, Lord.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: I'm here, Lord.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: Please help me do what's next.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: Let's breathe together one last time.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: Inhale, I say yes to your good story.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: Exhale, I rest in your timing.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: Inhale, I say yes to your good story.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: Exhale, I rest in your timing.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: There you go, my friend.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: I'm inviting you into a place called hope.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: Soft, steady, and more sure than anything that we can find here on this side of heaven.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: I imagine that some of these reflections have stirred something in you.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: And I think it might be because you're ready to step from awareness into transformation.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: If that is you, and if that's true of you, then join me for the wholehearted identity journey beginning next week.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: If you miss that, there's still going to be a link for a clarity call with me.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: So that way we can begin to do story work, discover a spiritual rhythm that works for you, and you can feel like you're not alone, and you can get help to live from your wholehearted identity.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: Find all the details in the show notes.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: As you continue your day, may courage rise in the cracks.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: May hope feel like breath returning.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: And may your yes today echo into eternity.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: Breathe deeply, dear friend.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: You are courageous.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: You are willing.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: You are ready.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: You are invited to become wholehearted.
