Yeah.

Every temptation that came up was a battle, and every mistake I made, I beat myself up over it.

I did not accept the grace of God and the mercy of God.

I f- I lashed myself over every thought, every action, every word.

And I'll just go ahead and tell you this.

Th- this is a recent re- revelation to me.

I think I counted my, I, I think I counted all those things as my righteousness for most of my life.

Yep.

You didn't share

numbers.

You shared nothing.

Yeah.

There's an association in our area.

It's called AASP, and it's Independent Automotive Shop Owners, and it's mechanical and body.

And when I started attending some of the conferences and stuff, the one thing that I noticed is the body shop community, they shared everything.

So how did that feel like? What were you struggling with during those 10 years?
