because<00:09:58.220><c> you're</c><00:09:58.460><c> spending</c><00:09:58.679><c> a</c><00:09:58.919><c> lot</c><00:09:59.059><c> of</c><00:09:59.279><c> time</c><00:09:59.720><c> in</c><00:09:59.919><c> it.</c>

00:10:01.659 --> 00:10:02.519
x
Yeah.

00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.519
x
The<00:10:04.519><c> word</c><00:10:05.000><c> is</c><00:10:05.159><c> how</c><00:10:05.320><c> God</c><00:10:05.580><c> communicates</c><00:10:06.240><c> with</c><00:10:06.399><c> us</c><00:10:06.659><c> today.</c>

00:10:07.579 --> 00:10:11.960
x
You<00:10:07.799><c> know,</c><00:10:08.120><c> we</c><00:10:08.120><c> don't</c><00:10:08.419><c> have</c><00:10:08.879><c> the</c><00:10:09.980><c> Lord</c><00:10:10.200><c> speaking</c><00:10:10.600><c> to</c><00:10:10.919><c> us.</c>

00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:14.559
x
His<00:10:13.239><c> communication</c><00:10:13.679><c> is</c><00:10:14.019><c> through</c><00:10:14.159><c> the</c><00:10:14.360><c> word.</c>

00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:18.019
x
And<00:10:14.879><c> so</c><00:10:15.100><c> if</c><00:10:15.299><c> we</c><00:10:15.519><c> are</c><00:10:15.879><c> feeling</c><00:10:16.259><c> that</c><00:10:16.519><c> we</c><00:10:17.120><c> are</c><00:10:17.159><c> drawing</c><00:10:17.480><c> away</c>

00:10:18.019 --> 00:10:21.600

or<00:10:18.240><c> if</c><00:10:18.419><c> we</c><00:10:18.539><c> are</c><00:10:18.740><c> feeling</c><00:10:19.179><c> stagnant</c><00:10:19.980><c> in</c><00:10:20.179><c> our</c><00:10:20.440><c> relationship,</c>

00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:23.879
x
then<00:10:22.120><c> perhaps</c><00:10:22.580><c> that's</c><00:10:22.960><c> a</c><00:10:23.059><c> way</c><00:10:23.179><c> that</c><00:10:23.320><c> we</c><00:10:23.440><c> can</c><00:10:23.519><c> get</c><00:10:23.720><c> back.</c>

00:10:24.220 --> 00:10:25.159

Lindy.

00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:27.440

00:10:27.580 --> 00:10:29.320
x
I<00:10:27.679><c> feel</c><00:10:27.960><c> like</c><00:10:28.159><c> it's</c><00:10:28.460><c> dark.</c>

00:10:31.439 --> 00:10:34.519

Ah,<00:10:32.919><c> now</c><00:10:33.120><c> I</c><00:10:33.159><c> can</c><00:10:33.379><c> see</c><00:10:33.519><c> my</c><00:10:33.740><c> notes.</c>

00:10:35.099 --> 00:10:38.820
x
So<00:10:35.579><c> if</c><00:10:36.059><c> I</c><00:10:36.679><c> may</c><00:10:37.080><c> reflect</c><00:10:37.399><c> back</c><00:10:37.860><c> to,</c>

I<00:11:07.220><c> think,</c><00:11:08.179><c> when</c><00:11:08.259><c> we</c><00:11:08.419><c> can</c><00:11:08.820><c> reflect</c><00:11:09.179><c> like</c><00:11:09.480><c> that.</c>

00:11:10.899 --> 00:11:14.200

It<00:11:10.919><c> might</c><00:11:11.039><c> not</c><00:11:11.259><c> happen</c><00:11:11.440><c> every</c><00:11:11.700><c> day,</c><00:11:12.399><c> but</c><00:11:12.620><c> that's</c><00:11:13.399><c> been</c><00:11:13.539><c> helpful</c>

00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:16.019

for<00:11:14.379><c> me</c><00:11:14.559><c> over</c><00:11:14.799><c> the</c><00:11:15.019><c> years,</c><00:11:15.399><c> for</c><00:11:15.720><c> sure.</c>

00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:48.580
