God doesn't want us to live average mediocre. 38 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 6: He doesn't want us to be ordinary in our thinking. 39 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 6: He wants us to be extraordinary in our thinking. He 40 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 6: wants us to expect more, to go for more, to 41 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 6: strive for more, to be the very. 42 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: Best that we can be. 43 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 6: Do you know when you're the very best you can 44 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 6: be today, your tomorrow will be better.

We're 56 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:54,839 Speaker 6: an original. We have callings and giftings that are matchless. See, 57 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 6: only you can do what God's called you to do. 58 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 6: Only you were created to be you. You weren't created 59 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 6: to be anyone else. You weren't created to coffee anyone else. 60 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 6: You were designed uniquely you. So get this down in 61 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 6: your heart, get this down in your spirit today and say, 62 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 6: I'm tired of living ordinary. I'm tired of living just mundane. 63 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 6: I'm going to start having this extraordinary mindset. You say, 64 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 6: but Victoria, my life is just routine. You know what. 65 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 6: All of our lives are routine. Most of life is 66 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 6: doing the same thing over and over again. We get 67 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 6: up in the morning, we go to work, we do 68 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 6: our jobs. 69 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: We come home, we. 70 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 6: Wash the dishes, we take care of the kids, We 71 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 6: cook the dinner, we mow the lawn, we pay the bills. 72 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 6: Most of our day is routine. We go to bed, 73 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 6: get up in the morning, and do it all over again. 74 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 6: But it is our job to not get sucked into 75 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 6: that routine, but to cause our life to produce extraordinary 76 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 6: in the routine. You see, you were designed to produce 77 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 6: extraordinary in the. 78 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: Routines of life. Think about this just a minute. Anything 79 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: that you do well, you have to do often, and 80 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: it is called routine. 81 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,679 Speaker 6: So we have to know that when we're in the routine, 82 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 6: we're in the difficulties, we're in the challenges, all the 83 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 6: things that we all face, that there's extraordinary being produced. 84 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 6: Because I believe when we understand that we're not average, 85 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 6: and our challenges weren't here to make us suffer. 86 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: They're here to bring something out of us. Our difficulties 87 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 2: are here to bring something out of us. Our routine 88 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 2: is here to bring something out of us. 89 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 6: I think about all the years that I've loved my family. 90 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 6: My children were born, I took care of them, I 91 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 6: changed their diapers, I fed them, I gave them a bath, 92 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 6: I taught them. I did everything I knew to do 93 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 6: day after day after day. I've tried to be a 94 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 6: good helpmate to my husband. 95 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 2: I make sure he gets what he likes. 96 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 6: I cook him dinner, I tell him what to do. 97 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 6: I give m vitamins. I do my very best even 98 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 6: when they don't appreciate it day in and day out. 99 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 6: But can I tell you, even when they don't appreciate it, 100 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 6: and even when it's difficult, do you know what. 101 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: The routine has done for me? 102 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 6: It's given me extraordinary. It is my extraordinary? What is 103 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 6: your extraordinary? I can see my life because I was 104 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 6: routine and faithful with what God gave me, I now 105 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 6: have extraordinary in my life. I think about challenges and 106 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 6: difficulties I've faced. Many times, I think I just want 107 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 6: to quit. Is this even worth it? 108 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 2: Is it even matter? But I have learned when I've. 109 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 6: Pressed through day after day those challenges, day after day, 110 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 6: it produced extraordinary lessons in my life. Listen, when you 111 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 6: are faithful with what God has placed in your hand, 112 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 6: and you don't allow it to become mundane and ordinary 113 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 6: and give it just half of what you could give it, 114 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 6: you know what you're doing. You're creating extraordinary. You're creating 115 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 6: something to talk about tomorrow. You see, sometimes it's not 116 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 6: always easy to talk about it, but if you'll stick 117 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 6: with it, you'll have something to talk about. 118 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 2: You'll have something to be proud of. 119 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 6: So even in the difficult times, I want to encourage 120 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 6: you to stay faithful. 121 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 2: God is preparing you. You are passing the tests. 122 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 6: He wants to give you greater opportunity gat a greater destiny. 123 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 6: So we want to just live with purpose because I 124 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 6: know how it feels. I'm preaching to myself today. I 125 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 6: have to get up in the morning and I have 126 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 6: to say, today is a good day. I've got good. 127 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 2: Things in front of me. 128 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 6: You know what you say to yourself, the moment you 129 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 6: get up is gonna set the tone for your life. 130 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 6: So you've got to get this down in your heart, 131 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 6: even when it's difficult, no matter what's going on on 132 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 6: the other side of that difficulty is extraordinary. You can 133 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 6: all say with me today, I have seen the extraordinary. 134 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 6: You're right, it was worth putting my effort into even 135 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 6: when I didn't see where the routine was taking me. 136 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 6: I now see this extraordinary job I have. I now 137 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 6: see this extraordinary family I have. I now see an 138 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 6: extraordinary ministry that I have. You see, you may not 139 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 6: see where it's taking you all the time, but it 140 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 6: will lead you to extraordinary When Joel's father was pastor 141 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 6: of Lakewood Church in his latter years, I would come 142 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 6: and get him and take him to church. I'll remember 143 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 6: one time we were in the bag getting ready for 144 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 6: church and he had a woman who did his hair 145 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 6: and his makeup for television because we would broadcast the 146 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 6: Sunday services. And when I was back there one morning, 147 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 6: this young lady that did his hair looked at him 148 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 6: and she said, Pastor Ostin, I have to tell you 149 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 6: some news. She said, my husband is being transferred to 150 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 6: another state for his job. And she said, this is 151 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 6: going to be the last time that I'm going to 152 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 6: be able to do your hair and makeup. She said, 153 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 6: I'm so sorry this came so quickly, but this is 154 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 6: one of those things where I just have to go. 155 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 2: And I remember him just kind of sitting there. 156 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 6: He was looking at her, and I could just see 157 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 6: a thousand things going on in his head and he 158 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 6: didn't know what to say, so. 159 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: He looked at me and he said, well, Victoria, he said, 160 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 2: can you do my hair for TV? On Sundays. I thought, 161 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 2: I don't have a cosmetology line. I'm not trained in this. 162 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 6: Then the next thing I know, they're both looking at me. 163 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 6: So I quickly just said, sure, I'll do it if 164 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 6: you trust me. Well, little did they know.

And they said, I can't believe that's all 191 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 6: she does in the ministry. 192 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 2: I think she should be doing more. 193 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 6: You know, they weren't trying to be mean. They just 194 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 6: thought my job description should be different. Well, you know what, 195 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 6: that hurt my feelings and I got to thinking. 196 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 2: About it, and I got a little discouraged about it. 197 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 2: But then I made a decision. 198 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 6: I thought, you know what, I'm gonna let that go 199 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,719 Speaker 6: because deep down on the inside of me, I hear 200 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 6: be faithful in the small, be faithful in the small. 201 00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 2: Just be faithful in the small. 202 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 6: So I let that go, and I decided to be 203 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 6: the best TV production hair person there has ever been. 204 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 6: So for several years, i'd picked my father in law up, 205 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 6: bring him to the church, and get him TV ready. 206 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 6: I was committed to that job. I was faithful and 207 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 6: in the routine of all those Sunday mornings, all those weekends, 208 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 6: I didn't realize that I was building extraordinary into my life. 209 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 6: You see, I believe it built commitment in my life. 210 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 6: I believe that it was doing a work in me. 211 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,719 Speaker 6: It was causing me to be able to understand the 212 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 6: ministry life, giving me vision. 213 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 2: It was showing me what it took to do this job. 214 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: And I believe just through those years of what some. 215 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 6: People may not have thought was important, God did think 216 00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 6: it was important. It was building extraordinary in me. And 217 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 6: I believe that I can do what I'm doing today. 218 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 6: I can be with my husband and help him push 219 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 6: this ministry forward because of the commitment and the faithfulness that. 220 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 2: I showed then. You see, in many ways it prepared me. 221 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 2: So I want to encourage you today. 222 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 6: Don't let the definition of someone else's success determine your future. 223 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 2: See, someone might not think what you're doing is very important. 224 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 2: They may look down on it. 225 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 6: They may not realize what God is doing in your life. 226 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 6: He is preparing you for greater opportunity. You see, because 227 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 6: someone doesn't see what you're doing doesn't mean that God 228 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 6: doesn't see what you're doing. Just because they don't think 229 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 6: it's important doesn't mean God doesn't think it's important. And 230 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 6: I'm telling you, God, bless us faithfulness. We have to 231 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 6: pass this faithfulness test if we're. 232 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 2: Going to go on to greater things. You know, one 233 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 2: thing that I realize that. 234 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 6: Really can reduce this extraordinary life that God's given us 235 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 6: down to ordinary is when we compare ourself. You know, 236 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 6: we all know that social media these days can make 237 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 6: your life feel like it's going nowhere. You look at 238 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 6: these vacations, you look at all this stuff these people 239 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 6: are doing.
