Hey everyone, I'm back. My name is Tonya Lee Carey and I have an elevation to my computer and and and I have a new mirror behind me with the lights the chandelier I mean it looks really good together but there's a little hot spot above my head and it's from my lights and the mirror so bear with me don't focus on the light that's about above my head symbolically it's really not bad it's like okay Lord be with me but I have a message for you encouragement I just feel especially during this holiday season we need an extra dose of joy and cheerfulness and a little bit more focus on the reason for the season and to help every last one of us and including me to stay focused and the title of this message I'm calling it sold out sold out to what the great I am I'm sold out for the reason for this season I am sold out and hope and faith and I want to read for you at first in Hebrews the 11th chapter verse 1 now faith is the reality of what is hope for for the proof of what is not seen now the hope is what the hope is like well many times people will say I hope so and that's based in what okay what is that based in we are drawn in the direction of what we keep looking at so I'm real good with vision boards I'm real good at putting things up writing things down so I'm constantly looking at it and so one day in God's timing I believe by faith because this is the hope the faith is the assurance is going to happen and I'm like that's God is someone we can trust and we can count on and then I'm gonna go into verse 6 it says now without faith it is impossible to please God so we gotta have faith that is the fuel for the basis of hope to be manifested glory in this case in point I needed some dress shoes many years ago and so I went into a I won't say cheap store but it was called Payless and went in there I wear a Bigfoot size 13 met someone that were the same size and she was in the spirit of giving I mean within 24 hours 48 hours I went to her house backed up walked in her living room and it looked like a shoe store and she gave me probably about 30 or 40 pairs I mean I mean that was just being sold out knowing that God's got me now I didn't have written down those shoes but it was written down in my heart another case in point I went three years living in a city with no public transportation and within the third year the word got out because I was still volunteering and people pick me up the volunteer an hour away and bring me home and and the word got out within the third year a man pulls up with the receipt to a very mint condition Astro van it took me a couple of years now a couple of months oh no a couple of weeks to receive that it's like a van for seven people what are you gonna have me to do and that was take my Sunday school class of about 15 and we would do outreach and that I will have my nieces and nephews and and that's what I used it for I mean I did my errands but it was about having other people in the van so I'm sold out that's the bottom line my name is Tanya Lee Carey tis the season to be merry until next time I love you and there's nothing you can do about it peace
