  Hi, love.
• 0:01
  Welcome back to the Vineyard.
• 0:06
  Oh my goodness, love.
• 0:07
  Can you believe that we are getting ready to close out October?
• 0:11
  Oh my goodness.
• 0:15
  Love, we've been talking about everything we've carried throughout 2026.
• 0:19
  I'm talking motherhood, marriage, relationships, businesses.
• 0:26
  Ministry, work.
• 0:27
  I mean, all of the things.
• 0:29
  Everything and all things in between.
• 0:31
  We've been talking about that because we've been carrying that throughout the year.
• 0:37
  And today, I just wanna take a moment in this bonus episode to just remind you of something.
• 0:44
  And what I want to remind you of is that, love, it's your turn to be celebrated too.
• 0:56
  Oh my goodness, it's your turn to be celebrated too.
• 1:05
  Love, think about that.
• 1:06
  How many times have you celebrated someone else this year?
• 1:11
  Uh, we do it all the time.
• 1:13
  We celebrate everyone else, but when is the last time we took a moment to just really and truly celebrate ourselves?
• 1:25
  How many times have we showed up when somebody else needed something?
• 1:31
  Oh, God.
• 1:33
  When somebody needed us.
• 1:35
  It's like we're always needed, and that's so great to be needed.
• 1:44
  Oof.
• 1:46
  But what feels just as great is a moment to just think about what celebrating me would really look like.
• 2:03
  Oh.
• 2:04
  Love, we've been doing all the things all year.
• 2:09
  And listen, there's nothing wrong with loving and serving the people God has placed in our lives.
• 2:16
  But here's my question.
• 2:19
  Love, when was the last time you put your name on the list?
• 2:27
  I'm not talking about your husband's name.
• 2:33
  I'm not talking about your partner's name.
• 2:37
  I'm not talking about your children's name I'm talking about your name Ugh.
• 2:50
  Mm.
• 2:51
  Woo! Think about that And love, before we go any further, can we just take a moment to do what I love to do best, and that's thank God.
• 3:07
  Because we didn't make it this far by ourselves.
• 3:12
  We didn't do this on our own.
• 3:15
  I'm reminded unless I believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
• 3:20
  That's Psalms 27:13.
• 3:22
  Like, it reminds me of the goodness of God in the land of the living that I desire to see, that I desire to dwell in.
• 3:32
  Oof.
• 3:33
  Can you imagine setting up 2027 for that dwelling?
• 3:38
  Ooh, in the goodness of God in the land of the living.
• 3:41
  Oh, such a beautiful and wonderful thought.
• 3:44
  And love, we've seen His goodness throughout this year because we're here, and if we think, just life itself is goodness from God And even when things weren't easy.
• 4:04
  Even when the plans changed.
• 4:06
  Even when we didn't know what tomorrow would actually bring.
• 4:13
  I can still say,"But God," Because here we are, still standing and still standing by His grace.
• 4:26
  Oh, thank you, God.
• 4:30
  Thank you for your amazing grace.
• 4:35
  Ooh, and for that, We just take this moment to just give you praise Now, love, while you're thanking God for carrying us, I want you to take a moment to appreciate yourself.
• 4:55
  Because you've been showing up, you've been learning, you've been growing.
• 5:02
  And even when things didn't go as planned, you kept going so love, here's what I want to consider What if this Christmas you put your name on the list?
• 5:25
  What if you gave yourself permission to receive?
• 5:34
  Oh What if you gave yourself permission to be celebrated, to be appreciated, to be honored?
• 5:50
  Oh.
• 5:52
  What if you gave yourself Permission to experience something beautiful That was prepared with you in mind.
• 6:11
  Oh, love.
• 6:12
  Wow.
• 6:15
  Just think about that And you don't have to feel guilty about it You can love your family.
• 6:29
  You can serve others You can honor God and Make room for yourself Love you deserve to receive too Whoo.
• 6:54
  Let that land Now, love, I don't wanna give away too much today, but let me tell you something.
