- Jessica Figueroa: Hello, everyone. We're back, and I have a fun one for us today. So I was walking through a downtown area, and there was this young boy whom I love dearly, and we were a large group of people, and he was just charging away, just walking ahead of all of us, leading the way through this downtown area. That's not the best part of the story. The best part of the story is he had no idea where we were going, but he didn't care. He was just leading, walking confidently, as if he was his own internal GPS system. And while we did have to correct him and say, hey, if you don't know where we're going, please don't walk ahead of the us because we kept having to call out. What I loved about it is how often in life we really don't know where we're going. We have an idea, we can point ourselves in that direction, but how many of us are refusing to walk because we don't know where we're going? Because what I loved about this little guy is all we had to do is say to the right, to the left, but he was getting there and he was gonna be the first one there. So today, just for today, I want you to have the confidence to walk the wrong way, to lead in the front, and have no clue where you're going, just like a child does. Because you know who is gonna call out to you and let you know which way to go? The Lord. He's gonna say, Hey, you up there. I love the confidence. I love the action. I need you to pivot a little to the right. And you're gonna look back be like, okay, great. I'll go a little bit to the right. But you're gonna be in movement. So today, I want you to have the confidence of this young man walking in a downtown city to lead a group and say, I don't know where we're going, but I'm leading us. Because you don't have to know everywhere you're going. The Lord does, He knows where you're going. But if you're so scared to start walking and you're so scared to lead that He can't shout out and say, Hey, a little to the left or keep going. So just for today, we're gonna walk confidently, even though we have no idea where we're going. Because the one who knows, he knows and he's guiding us and we can trust in that. I love you guys. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
