The depth of faith that God is asking for and giving you the possibility to have is literally walking around with your hands in the air. Like, 'Oh, I just, it's going to be fine.' You're going to be fine. It's when I asked my sponsor, it was no easy thing. I mean, I, I could tell she was admired and this and that. And I said, 'Yes.' I didn't even say, 'What does that mean?' And then she said, 'Call me tomorrow.'
