But before I go any. Further, let's take it to the thrown room of grace. Father God, we just thank you tonight. We thank you for your love, your saving grace and your mercy. Lord. You just I tell you, there's no words. Words cannot explain being in the presence. The words cannot explain hearing your voice and receiving direction.

2:48 Words cannot explain. There's not enough words in the alphabet in the dictionary to just say how much we want to say. Thank you for choosing us, thank you for waiting on us. Thank You for igniting that which is in us through the releasing and through the prom the communication of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Jesus for what you did on the cross. We can't we have to go to our grave thanking you. That should be the last conversation, the last set of words that escape from our lips as we are on our deathbed and we know we're getting ready to come home. We just thank you. But more importantly, you left the Holy Spirit behind to to love us, to guide us, to comfort us when we can't even do it ourselves.

3:32 We love you so much. Now, Lord, you know this is your. Show, this is your podcast, this is your opportunity to speak to your people. We're gonna get behind the cross and watch what you do, listen to what you say, and get our marching orders for the rest of the evening, not even thinking about tomorrow. We just thank you, Father God, have you waited and do one of the. Many millions of trillions of things you do best, And that's set your captives free. Right now in the mighty majestic name of Jesus Christ, we pray, and the church said, Amen, we're gonna get a little. Better with that. We're gonna get a little bitter with that. How y'all doing, how you doing, How you're doing, how you're doing?

4:15 Tell me tell me something good? Okay, snow, we had some snow, A little bit of snow. Wasn't look about the claim, I declared my car before I left work. What it's light, But it's you know, it's it's yeah. Well we just I think we're in the eighties right now. And amen. Amen, Hello, good evening, it's Tennessee.

5:01 That's what we do. I'm pleased to announce had the It's like taking meat from a tiger. But last month, February, we had over five thousand shares. That was y'all. Yes, I don't know why. I can't get the rest of the demographics, but that's okay. I know we're saying, even if it's just the five faithful, the twelve faithful, I know we are making change. I know we're making a difference. And everywhere your feet is treading, the Holy Spirit is with you. God is with you, And I'm telling you we're making a difference, and we're gonna go forward and do itever the more. Got one more year of this and we're gonna we're gonna mix it up a little bit. How did y'all like the new music.

5:44 Listen. I love this. Yes, do it again. I said, okay, you know, brother doing what he do, doing what he do, and I mean it was like, you know, pulling teeth, but. He got it, he got it. He was not satisfied. I said, make it magic. There we go. I said, oh man, it's so different. So I want you to go back and listen just to the theme. Is very cool. Thank you, missy, thank you so much. Yes, and that's that's in him. This is the little, same little fellow. When he started walking made his way to the kitchen all of a sudden, I don't know how he got this spatula and the pots were kept blow. I don't know who he got this spatula.

6:25 To this day, I'll never know. And he's been in there hitting the pots, keeping a beat, maybe musically a cloud. Look, I beg you, boy making beats. For his mom's and his auntie Tray and his twin sisters podcast making beats. That's beats. That's not music. I mean, he's got all that. And you should see his room. I mean he's he's a full orchestra all by himself. But anyway, I just you know, I got flowers where they they're do and all the. Theme music we've ever had. He produced it, Amen and hours, So try try me, try me trump. You can't mix it. You can't. You could sit there all day and try to wrap it up up your mind around and call it. Put the strings and the and the oo and everything else.

7:11 You'll You'll never hit it, I promise you. Thank you well. We had a question towards the end of the show from one of our youngest listeners, and I do not want to forget about this because it was all my mind the whole weeks. Music is in him. Yes, very thank you, Yes, yes, yes, come on in here, roll call where you at? No, let me call your name now, please don't let me call you by your name. Let me do that because I know some names. So please come on in. You ain't got to be shy. Ain't nobody gonna bother you, Nobody try to track you. Troll you. I rebuked that in the name of Jesus, so you're safe. This is a safe space. So we just need you to roll call to see who's listening in. Amen and amen, And I go back sometime and and put in the setting it straight page on the setting, the straight page.

7:58 Uh that you're listening and things like that. So sweet of him to make the music. Well, now, don't don't don't go I have to live with this boy. Don't don't go there. We ain't gonna let him know that what you said, no, because I got to get more out of him. But we thank you and let me get back to purpose. Okay, that's what I want to do. Young, there's a young. Like one of my youngest listeners wanted to know the meaning of ash Wednesday, and I hope he is able to listen and let me just read it off. Now, it's a Catholic thing. I know other religions may practice it and may do it, or people just do it who are not even religious at all or don't have the faith for some reason.

8:39 I've known people who don't declare anything that they belong to, anything that's religious or faith oriented, but they will go by a church who, particularly a Catholic church that does the ashes. And there was a pastor. I don't know what if it's an episcopale, you look like you had an episcopale, Young garment on African American gentlemen. He and two of his adjutants were. Standing on the side of the street on Wednesday, on Ash Wednesday. Uh and and you know asking, you know. Being available for people who wanted you just pull in. Now, I'm sure there was no questions asked. He did that in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. But listen, just dive into it a little bit because one of my youngest listeners want to know what that was all about. And nobody tells you stuff. So you're walking around like why everybody, like five people in the road got black ash on their forehead in the side of a cross.

9:31 Here we go. Ash Wednesday is celebrated as the beginning of. Lent, before the day period of their fasting and repentance, before Eastern civilizing mortality and the need for spiritual renewal through receiving ashes in the shape of a cross while hearing reminders like remember you are dust and to dusk you shall return. And that is scripture. You bore ashes to ashes, dust to dust you we were. We came from the ash and the dust we will return that way, Okay. It marks a call to self examination, morning sins, and preparing for Christ's resurrection by acknowledging human brokenness and seeking God's mercy, drawing parallels to Jesus forty days in the wilderness, and you need to have your parents go over that. When Jesus was in the wilderness, he went on the ultimate fast, and that's where a lot of these fasts come from, where he ate nothing.

10:27 And that's when the devil also joined him and tempted him and basically wanted Jesus to bound. Down to him. And I want to take you a little story. I woke up maybe months back, maybe before the New Year, and all of a sudden, I woke up and I heard this conversation and I'm like, okay, but I realized. It wasn't It wasn't in the house, but it was in my. Room, and the books was saying, come on, just throw yourself down your angels. They won't let you hurt yourself. I was like, oh, this is forty this is that conversation with Satan, the devil in Jesus, And I'm telling. You this is what I heard. Jesus like, who do you think? Who you tripping? Who you messing with? I know you were there in the beginning, but you lost that space, your rights.

11:09 So what you're trying to do. You think I'm. Gonna say you who made you nothing? I'm seeing now, I'm. Just hearing this boy, this conversation, and I'm doing it like a tennis match, like what you're gonna say, what you're gonna say, And Jesus like, homie homes and you see that, homes we give the earth. You leave me because I got work to do. Get out of here. And I'm like, and I'm looking at. Yeah, get out of there, you know. So so what that was? That opened up a whole lot of revelation from me as far as knowing your authority, knowing your power, knowing what what what your commands are, what you have the right to do. And that's why you need to study your Bible, not read it. Need to show yourself a proof and then you meditate. You don't have to memorize scripture.

12:04 Trust me. If you go over you're. Like, oh my god, I saw this one scripture, one of my favorites, Psalms eighty one and six. And I'm gonna teach myself. But don't be trying to figure out how old I am. But I graduated from high school in eighty one and thinks it the number for mankind. So I remembered it. I removed you know, I will remove your shoulders. From the burden and free your hands from the pots. And that's when God began to show me, no, get out of my way, let me do this. I know how this story begins. I know what the mental is. I know the crescendo and the essence. I know when it's gonna go up. I know when it's gonna go down. I know the next hurdle, I know the next obstacle, and I know when the ends. And in the end, no matter what we win, we leaguers win.

12:51 No what is going on because He's giving direction. That's how loving God is. Parents don't sit there and own up to their own situation. They want their child, the children suffering, and you know, saying that they won't like, yeah, you know what. When I was twelve, I did the same thing. Are you so surprised? Surprised in the middle of it, said oh, no, we're not doing that. We're not getting that. That's a generational curse. Just because you see that, you may men may not know that I went through this. I did the same thing. I treated my parents the same way. So what you're doing the side. Remember say to me, I told them, I shown.

13:34 Me, I wrote my first book. The whole thing is saying to me was that's what you wanted to do. And then they were asking how the kids, Well, you know, DJ didn't believe they're drawing. Oh well you don't, Auntie, so she drew and so it's so true, and I'm like, oh, okay, but where's their work reading from there is you can't even say that. Relatives didn't even say, well, that is so nice. Those kids are gifted. That is nice. Can't even say that, but you want to throw it in my face. Oh they got that from something. No, we've taken it. And I'm proud of my daughter. She's taking the entrepreneurial level, which I was not meant to. I didn't think I was supposed to be any of that. That's her, that's her, that's her corner, that's her, that's her feel, that's her lane, that's her building, that's her masterpiece.

14:19 But she's beyond me. I just be sitting back in the cut and watch it. I'm proud of her business wise and everything you're supposed to do. And I set my kids down over the years and said to them, this is where I this is where your mom, this in faults, this is this is this is that other side of your mom. And they're like, uh uh yeah, I know what I'm talking about, and I know it when I see it outcause it's not you're not gonna you can't follow my footsteps. People say, oh, they got shoes the field. No, I take my. Shoes with me. You bring your own shoes when you're dealing with me, whether. It's my business, whether it's the podcast, No. Don't know. Uh uh me and mimic me that that's mine. Hey, that is really cool to know how to do business stuff and follow your dreams.

15:03 Amen, Hey, Charles, thank you, Yes and together all the time. Jesus, when Gunna said I knew you before your mother's womb knew you, y'all got to go back and find that script in Jeremiah and the Book of Jeremiah. That's really real and it temples me. Even when I was doing therapy work and everything up, people were like, oh, my goodness, I should write a book and the story cells all their gifts are coming out and everything. And I just said that chuckle, because I said, God, they don't realize you you downloaded that in them before their mother's womb knew that. They were coming. And here right the pregnant you can get health and safety, is safe, delivery of your child, can get any generational curses from the family.

15:48 You start praying for that and about that. If you care, if you're proud that life growing in me, and tonight we talk about motherhood, women, celebrating women from cradle to the grave. I want female That's. What we're talking about. I don't know about those other people. I really don't. And that's not my mission. That's not my mission. I'm not called for that. I'm I call to disciple any but I am not called for that. Most people get let too much get in their way and they don't follow that. Thank you, Mickey. They don't even stop long enough. Thank you, Elder kse see to the scene. Thank you. Most people don't stop. Do you know out of the over four thousand people that I've counseled.

16:30 Since I've lived in Orlando, and I've been here. For twenty four years, and I say the last fifteen of those years, sixteen of those years I was doing work with the Department of Correction and probation, and in my assessment, I have a question, what is it that you wanted to be when you were a little girl? What were your dreams where when you were a little boy. Some people can't even remember, some can tell me. You know, I never dreamt, I never had a goal. I just wanted friends for me me. I just wanted to be a good kid. I wanted my parents to be proud that they chose me, they accepted me, they adopted me. Do you know my adoption papers. I was born on August second in the Seven months later the judge signs off and makes me legal. Nobody came looking for me, nobody came knocking on the door.

17:21 My parents didn't skip a beat. I don't know if they. Didn't realize it or not. Seven months God's number completion rest. So I can't say this about everybody, but I know who I am in him, and I'm gonna finish. I'm gonna finish this race, and I will finish it strong, even if I'm by myself. I will. So that's what we want to talk about. So I hope that I answered the young man's question, and of course those if I haven't, please. Get it back. I will. We will definitely answer questions from this point on. You've got questions, put them out there. We will go back. We'll do our best. If we could get to it tonight, on the on the very eve of it, we'll try.

18:02 If not, we'll we'll circle back. I promise you. Hey at the Stagia, thank you, check in, check in, everybody. Let's go. Let's go, because I know you're sitting there listening. I know you're sitting there listening. I know you're driving and I know you're listening. I know you're gonna go back and you're gonna listen. I know you and your life has changed. You don't have to give me, don't We don't want the credit. Don't put that bulls out on our back. We are just little people. We like you. We're children are the most high. We just try to mind our. Business and do what we were called to do. And this is social workers Aware that Social Workers Awareness Month. Yes, I got my social worker shirt on. Let me see if I can show y'all. Okay, that's all you're gonna get anyway.

18:43 Yes, two things I will die with being a minister, being a child of God, and being a social worker. I can retire and I don't have to clock in bring to anybody. But I'm always gonna be a social worker. People. I'm always listening to people saying, well, what did you know that? You know? I was wondering and I said, well, you know you could check this this. Oh, thank you so much. I can't we can't help the right trade right, you can't help it. You can't help but get you can't help it. Talk to me, tray, come on and help it. Can't help it, I mean, because it's just so the human service field itself is just gratifying, you know, especially when you assist people with identifying their strengths. You know, because you know the solution solution focused. You know, you don't focus on the problem, you focus on solution.

19:29 Yeah. So being able to assist people with finding what their strengths are through it all, how they make it day by day, you know. And we're problem solvers. That's who we are. A true social worker, a true social worker. We are problem solved. We're already thinking, okay, how do we get how we can help. I need to know how you got into it. First of all, I didn't like going into the field early on, in case management working in the middle health field. I didn't like going back and asking my seventy eight year roles, you know how long you've been not only how long you've been diagnosed, but when did you I had to come back to their childhood every time I had to go back, or they can say, you know, I remember. When I was five years old.

20:10 My mother used to say it that I oh, and then I started putting it together. I have to ask about your past. Not going fast forward. Generational curses learn situations. The DNA dinah don't lie. According to Medea, Dinah don't lie. DNA don't lie it. Don't you keep telling your child or you just like your uncle Charles, Well, uncle Charles been in prison for all this child's life. Why do you keep And then you you're surprised that he's stealing at age eight?

Like Uncle Charles, you keep telling him, you know, we don't realize this. We don't realize this. Women, you know, God, bless y'all, bless y'all. And we go through it. We go through a lot because we are life carriers. We carry life. What Tolanes will. Do, I don't care what science is trying to do. I don't care what story comes out. I don't care how you what they do. Remember the game operation, you know, and you can take the little tweezer. You try to get the bone out and try to get the you know. And if you pick that little and you get shot, yeah you should. Okay, Scientists, beware you, other strange people beware.

21:37 Keep trying to master God's work. You will get shot, and ain't nobody thinking about you. Okay, okay, thank you, thank you. You're going to be what you want to be. You go, and you will never be got. Scientists even though they found some matter, which I don't know what that looks like, but they opened up some portals. So somewhere in stratosphere they tore a hole and they got something out. Okay, well, now we're talking about aliens. Okay, Okay, okay, keep messing, keep messing. God separated the planets for a reason, for a reason. Now all let's talking everybody. Oh my, I'm like, yeah, well, duh, what's to say.

22:21 If you're go looking for something hard enough, you will find what you're looking for. You'll find what you're looking for. But dude, is that your calling? Is that something you should be concerned about? Why? Watch Walking Dead? Just in case the zombies, just in case we're going to some zombie. I know how to get you. I know how to kill you because I'll see you first before you see me. Watched the Twilight grew up with the Twilight Zone, don't we kick heyers were making for. A reason me thank you Lord.

It didn't end well for people, two people, it didn't end well.

23:05 But that's okay. You like the song. I like my Redeemer lives, you know, like he's got the whole world in his hands. I got you know. Your presence is a gift. Your presence is a gift and grace. How sweet that? Oh, we can go there, We can go all night, We can go all night because all you have to do is sing the first couple of words and amazing grace. How sweet that sound? That seemed direct like me. Stay right there and do all your evaluating of yourself. Get the mote out your own eye before you try to tell me about the mote in mind. It's time now, guys, so preyferly you all hang in with us, But we go on straight. We are pushing envelopes, we are pushing people back. It's not I'm not gonna ask you. Are you a believer? That's not even a question on the belief of those of us on these streets. If I got if God said go tell her this, guess what I'm gonna go tell you that, and said you be blessed and walk out of your life. It's not about I love it that God. If I do have a word, when God gives me a word for people, he helps me.

24:06 He makes sure I forget it. He's been that like most of my spiritually adult life. I forget it. And people say I heard a nice version of that song. Think yes, Charles, They mixing up. Boy, you can you know, I ain't gonna get into it, but you can. Stay right there. Some people just stay right. It was amazing grace, y'all. Hallelujah. Do you remember that thing? Amazing grace. Halleluja y'all. Anyhow, there we go. When I was a little boy, I remember we used to walk to school. I had to run down and you know, no shoes and had. To carry my my, my, my, my bread sandwiches, and you know, yeah, we can go there. I'm not because you know what, sometimes.

24:55 When you're in that time of loneliness and you in your valley and you start to walking, you just be thinking about the goodness of God, and you have you have no words when you moan. We say that moan you know back in the old that church, back up in the woods. That about moany. Okay, I'm sorry, that's not supposed to be tonight. Anyway. My father is like crying out him live and see you see how it flows, See how it flows. I'm black. We're not scripted. We're not scripted. It's whatever whichever. However, we're not scripted because we don't have to be. We're living epistols for the Lord. Jesus Christ. I don't even know what's on his mind.

25:42 He just gives us the topics and we flow and we open up in prayer. When you he said, we're two of them? How great that are? Okay? All right, that's okay? Or keep me at the cross. At the cross, oh boy, you can. We gonna do that one night. We just gonna go through some old schools. My daughter like, ain't gonna be. But guess who likes the rocking rocking? Not too much, oh mama, And she saying, I said, how do you know about that song? Gotta love the Mississippi mass cry Mississippi. Okay, we don't have choirs anymore.

26:22 Man, they could take you there, boy, BArch it into. I remember I was part of marching in with the we know on a TV. No, not that one that was before we weren't on TV. No talking about sandwiches. Is miss Caake cooking something special than that? She already I did, uh chicken? Okray right, ticket, we're gravy with the b and oprah and tomatoes. So train you need to make your way to Orlanda Alada, not Orlando Alanda. You need to make your way when my man, when.

27:04 I woke up. I mean, k she's going by herself. You got me started something. When I woke up. This board, Yeah, started me on my way. Okay, I'm come number two version probably a Tennessee version of that too, you know. But but you see it can happen. Pray, so just start singing. I remember walking. Into the church, the primitive Baptist church, and when it was getting close time to start, all of a sudden, you here, father. A stretch and you're looking around. Who's singing? Ain't nobody got a micro? Not my hand to I'm like, go ahead, it's from the deacons.

27:56 And all of a sudden the older deacon come and he just stand up getting there no mic. We can it's a huge church, but we can hear it, and he starts it all. But there is nothing like a good organist. This lady used to play the organ for our church, and she would it was almost like she well she was in a trance you ever see, like the dracula and somebody playing the music, and then like in trance, she would when they say make the organs talk, she would make that organ talk beautiful. I mean, you amazing grace on an organ. When the old organs with the pedals and the hands and the layers and all that. That lady would would would would make it sank. It's Wilhelmine Payton, that that lady.

28:43 That would do it all. I'm telling you she she played for our church for years and she when I say yeah, she she would make she would make that that. She would make that thing talk beautiful and it would just draw. You didn't even have to have a new words. You know. Que music can get you. Yeah, the music will get you because you sit there and if you see somebody starting the rock, they're gone, they gone. They listening and they're rocking. You see somebody just crying tears or floating like, oh my god. That's how we've been warriored. The first week in Warrior came about. I went to doctor Martha Sharmona's church up here, put stamp and handclapping. I love the organ. Yes, I'm telling you the organ. If you got somebody that, yeah, we don't have that.

29:33 You don't hear anymore people were doing it that much anymore like that, not like that. I mean that's old school. And if you're old school, you know what I'm talking about. That organ that's truly old school, because I mean they'll just start and and and they hit that. One note and stay right there. And sometimes even the speaker will say, okay, don't start nothing, don't start nothing. And then that they and they start playing with those keys. And it was it was all the church just just explode. Church would just explode. People just take off running, just take off running. I remember one year, I think it was a I think it was New Year's Eve service, and that day the Lord was just all over me just it was just so beautiful.

30:17 And so the pastor asked us to, you know, give testimony. And I remember us, there's a pastor, a gentleman here could get on that. He can make the key like you said, make that keyboard, just just stand up and attention. And he was just sitting there. And so I didn't want to go up. I didn't want to go up. And I'm just sitting, I'm rocking in my chair. I'm just like, oh, Lord, no, I don't want to go. I don't want to go. And it was a song the Lord began to sing to me earlier that day. And when I got I had to get up. Nobody was getting up. I got up and everybody's oh amen, Amen. And he just sat there and he did like this. He just did this. And I said, God is so good and he let me know and he sing this to me. God sang this to me today.

31:00 You are so beautiful to me. Everybody faster Morrison hit those keys, landed right where I was and paid behind me. I was just and people just falling out. You are. And the pastor's parents were there from Africa, and the mom came up and hugged me, and. I said, can't you see I'm singing. I'm thinking. I didn't care what it sounded like. This is this is what my God had ministered to me earlier that day. And I went all the way, I mean, singing a cappella and the Holy Ghost. It will rock you because you're like, you know, you don't think about it. If I'm hitting a note, you don't think about nothing. You just I'm trying to get these words out. He's saying, I'm so beautiful. You're everything that this is God speaking to me. You're everything that.

31:48 I hoped for, and you're everything that I need. You are so fut to me. And boy, I was done. I was done. I mean I couldn't finish it. But that gentleman on that he took it. He took it. I mean he, I mean it was the church just was on a fight. Pastor the pastor Harley could preach it was a fight. The mom was up, the lad was up. The mother came over to me. I didn't even go to my seat. She hugging me. Thank you for that. You know, just I mean God, when you get caught up in the spirit of God, knowing his presence, his presence, it's just something that's beautiful and you're missing. Out on it. And I didn't realize I was kind of danging this weekend and I was just like, and somebody did ask me, you know, why, why are you You know you're looking you don't sound like this.

32:32 I said, yeah, I feel sorry for people. And once upon a time I never would feel sorry for the unbeliever. I didn't feel sorry for the atheists. But this weekend, before the news of everything going on came, I said, I really feel sorry for people who don't know the Lord, really. Feel sorry for them. And I couldn't shake it off for a minute. I just I sat in that for a minute, because you don't know what you're missing. You know what you're missing. And God is good. God is good. So women, you know, women, we'll celebrate. We get one month, we get there. At least we get thirty days, you know the days. You know, and like Black history you only get twenty eight. But you know, for women's history, we get thirty one days.

33:15 And you need to celebrate. Who you are. How do you do that? Treat yourself, Go buy yourself something. There's all kinds of discounts everywhere, every story. You can imagine that fifty sixty seventy percent off. I was gone. Got all kinds they try to do a prime deal thing again. I mean, they got all kinds of stuff. Go treat yourself ten dollars, go to five below. I guarantee you you'll find something for you for yourself. Celebrate your womanness, that little girl in you, that grown woman. Yes, let's have church, all right, you know that. Celebrate celebrate my God. We are gods. I mean, it's something about when a woman cry. It's something about when God here's a woman travailing and moaning. And that's a form of prayer, believe it or not. That's a form of fasting.

34:07 Believe it or not. And as you're sitting here and celebrate, you know we're getting ready. We're heading into we're into Lent, we're heading into Resurrection time, which is Easter Sunday. We're Resurrection Sunday. You know, you need to be self reflecting, and God is so mindful to remind us. You need to be self reflecting every almost every day and asking God to forgive you every day because somewhere along the way, you do mess up. If you scream at the person that just cuts you off and you're in the inner car road rage, or you remember something that your child said to you and they never apologized, or they've decided to go on one way, whatever your thoughts have been, they have to say, Lord, I'm so sorry, and look at me, because old wretched man that I am, had Jesus not come through.

34:54 When God ended after Noah, after the flood, God ended it. It's four hundred years before the New Testament comes on the scene, and that opens up with John the Baptist being in the wilderness talking about the Messiah is coming. For one hundred years, it could have ended there. We don't need to be we wouldn't even be here. It may be animals roaming the earth, if there was an earth, you have hands to get your life straight. Now, talking to everybody, I'm not talking to everybody because. Not everybody that's listening. It's a believer. My main our main crew are they're believer the state of. Darkness listening in and that's me.

35:34 That's fine because everybody can listen. Are you willing to change? I was watching the. Court show the other day and the girl said, well, I guess I have I have to. I know I have to change, but I don't want to change. And I said, we can cut that off right now. Right, but that's the scene. We're done. You don't want to change. She just mentioned it. She just said I don't want to change, and goodbye. I can't even say I wish you well. It's we're serious about here out this andre in it now, we're in it. You gotta know where you're staying. And you're gonna be tried on every hand. You're gonna be tried. People are lying to you. I'm trying to reach this attorney people. I'll pass the message along what women see. That was the first clue right there. Why would you pass the message along? Who I'm getting Another person says, I'm gonna send this right over.

36:23 Where is it? Where you're sending it? Why can't you get a hold of one of your lead you know trying? That's okay. I said, go find her. You know where to go find her? Oh okay, And I set the message. Know I'm mean, try to reach you. Those two you know they I don't know if they got the message to you or not. But people awkwardly lying, I don'ton't just ask them a simple question. Why do you got to lie? Why you got to call me with your issues and you ain't ready to change? You should know me by now. I don't have much time. I didn't want to talk to anybody, and I didn't. I didn't. I binge, watch some shows. I got my energy back up. It's time to fight.

37:05 I was being to fight who that is? It's time to fight anything else. I'm gonna be quiet for a minute. We got a little bit minute, y'all talking. Well, I'll just say as far as it being you know women's history again, do for yourself and make share you're a priority as well in your life and that you're taking care. Of you again. Go shopping if you can eat something different, trying new food, maybe go on a trip something like that, you know, get yourself something nice, just because I mean, we have to think about our mental healths and think mental health and decipher if we are okay or not. If not, then you need to be looking for. Solutions as far as okay, what can make me feel better?

37:46 Things I could do to make me feel better and stuff like that, and ensuring that's a part of your life. Sound now, I'm really big on mental health, really big on just doing for yourself because you are a priority. I mean, continue to encourage yourself. You're beautiful. Everybody is beautiful the way they are smart at like it always and just believe it as well. And that's what I wanted to share. But here I go with the scaling question. So I like scuailling. I like scaling questions, especially working with mental health, is because you get an idea of where someone is and so you can do it like a self thing.

38:26 Why do we feel so guilty when. We I'll say it because you don't feel as if you deserve it, And that's only the devil telling you that, because you deserve it with everything you put up with, but everything you allow on your life, whether it's negative word of it's positive, you deserve it. So you know, always make sure you guys, are not listening to any type of negative thought or. Voice in your head. Obviously it's not from God, it's yourself and whomever telling you, Nah, you don't deserve it today. You shouldn't do that today. No, you didn't do that much today. But you deserve it. You deserve it. As women, we deserve it. And I like that trying a new flood something you haven't had any while.

39:07 Yes, I love trying new foods. You know. I want to try African food next. And my mom's seaweed now, guys, so that's brightens up my day because she does. She's the time to not expect her palette. She doesn't like spicy food. She's very special. But yeah, I'm proud of her for trying to actually, which is ironic. I saw a little package of Karaokey's seaweed and I've seen two people eat seaweed. And I'm like, yeah, seaweed, Okay. It's very nice. It's a crispal little for me, you know, just season just right, it's done and you're done.

39:47 And my daughter was surprised, to go. Did you eat the whole? Banker said, yeah, I did, well. I bought it. It was still kind of scared to try. You know, She's like, why don't you. I definitely did force her to eat it because I really wanted to see her reaction. And I liked it. Yeah, trying and try some protein based, protein based foods as well. So you have not had a sushi roll with she? Yeah, I've had some sushi. But let me tell you, I get the I get the California. Role exactly, you know, because that's the safest thing. Huh. It's the safest, the California role. Yeah, with the young yum sauce. So yeah, that that's really good.

40:33 I love you a good That is a good. Go ahead. Okay, Okay, we said what kind of palette you have? Okay, when y'all do your trip, when y'all come to the floor, Orlando, it's gonna be interesting. We're gon we're gonna have to you know, Belicia will definitely, you know, get y'all. Let me show you what I meane yesterday, I sold out. I just want to show y'all. Okay, nobody text me, Yeah the pasta wow? If I said ghost stuff. Girl. That's enough. Girl. I'm like, did I hear her junior day? I don't. We don't, we don't. What was it?

41:19 What did he say? Okay, you can't go wrong with chicken. I'm sorry. The messing with the chicken so bad. I'm so sorry. But you can't go wrong with chicken. And you can bake it, fry a diet, lay it to the side, gone, you know. Okay, if anybody's on the fast, I'm sorry. I don't mean to mess with y'all. But anyway, you know, you know you you you could do something with a chicken. I'm telling you that I could eat chicken. I know. My my holistic health people are just really surprised and much how much chicken I eat. But I could eat some. Chicken and and and go on for days and don't blink, you know, but God is good. Anything else out there for the audience to come up. We got three more minutes. Thing y'all want to know, just a scaling question, like find out what you are?

42:03 You know, how you feeling? The down scale? I just don't do too spicy. Yeah, me neither, Charles, I don't like it. Ask reflux. I can't do it. Head let's yeah, yeah, I can't. I can't do that. But yet it's good to always take care of yourself and also try to monitor and watch what you what's the last thing you listen to before you go to sleep? Excuse me? Yes, so it can be kind of you know whatever. I know you like spicy. I just knew it. I just knew it. I don't tell me, don't ask me how I knew it, but I just knew. Yeah, you like you, like you some spice. I know you do.

42:44 It's all good. It's all good. It just God is so good and and and uh and he made those you know. And but you got to look at your health. You've got to put your health in check back. Like I shared with you all before that when you get those results back, because now you get it through your medical portal, you look at those things and research it a little bit more. Okay, what does bowel gas mean? I never heard of that? What does bowel gas mean? You know? Go look it up so that you could better pray. Now, go back in and tell the doctor, well, I don't think I have this, so you know you need to give me this medication. Don't be piled on the meds. We got to stop being dependent on that because the doctor said, well, this is what you're gonna need, and most of them have the audacities that you have to take this for the rest of your life.

43:28 It's like, wait a. Minute, So you tell me if I don't lose them, if I lose weight, it's not eating more greens and drinking more water. This ain't This is not gonna go away, is that what you're trying to say? Well, no, not exactly what stop saying. Stop saying that. Check your words. So don't go into the doctor's a woman trying to tell them what to do. You do what you need to do, but you need to be honest with yourself. You got to do this because you got to have the stamina. You got to have that stamina. You got to think clear, very clear. Most people are viping, vaping and doing all kinds of stuff they say, and then I think it clear at all. How about the lady on the news ran into the people house, I mean, drive right into the deep bombs. You're gonna beat thing on the seat. Come on, now, come on, I love watching doctors. Don't always know no always you know yourself better, right you?

44:15 They know what you tell them, Mickey. You know people you can go in and lie, but they believe you. Mental health doctors don't. But medical doctors too. But I'm not a a problem. And then you you're escalating, you you grow, you're going big, and you said you just get ready to blow up. Oh no, you don't have an anger problem. I have your name. Please all right, guys, that's our time. Thank you, because music to listen to the music. We love you.
