00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:39.799
we just thank you and we praise you.

16
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:40.599
Lord.

17
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:44.480
I repent tonight. I repent because I just lost I

18
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.319
didn't lose sight of you. I just allowed the world

19
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.239
to get too close to me. So please forgive me

20
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:54.040
for that. I got myself out of the groups. I'm

21
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:58.000
not listening to anybody anymore, no matter what I have

22
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.159
to turn to you. I have to give it all

23
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.480
to you. But more importantly, I have to repent. I

24
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.359
have to repent, and everybody needs to be repenting on

25
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.159
a daily So, Lord, I know that you will forgive me.

26
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:10.919
And I wasted time.

27
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.039
It was a time that I wasted that I invested

28
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:19.199
into other just listening to dialogue and conversation that really was,

29
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.039
you know, full of eyes. So please forgive me for that,

30
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.639
and please restore the time that I lost that I

31
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:31.520
used up recklessly. And please Lord, as people tonight come

32
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.360
to you at some point asking for forgiveness, You meet

33
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.800
them where they're at, bring them to where they need

34
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.759
to be. Now, Lord, as always, this is your show.

35
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.120
We're your people, we're your children, we're your daughters. You

36
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.439
set the captives free. We have no power, we have

37
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:47.159
no authority.

38
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:47.960
We can't do that.

39
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.319
I can't even praise somebody out of something. So we

40
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.400
thank you God. We're gonna stand behind the cross, and

41
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.199
we're gonna lean forward and listen in all this and

42
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.800

Yeah, we got sign. We're getting this misty rain.

52
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.639
It's like somebody's just throwing the rain out the clouds

53
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:28.800
and then it dries up. So I don't know what

54
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.800

55
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:33.560

61
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.520

62
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.400
for her sins and there's nothing we can do to

63
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.919
stop that. But you need to pu slowly. Everybody needs

64
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:06.199
to be repenting. You've got something to say you're sorry about.

65
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.680
If the young kids are listening, everybody check in out there, audience,

66
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.919

Let us know your ears are on. But if our

00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:18.360
younger group, that evening in the station, all right, trying, okay, missy,

69
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.120
don't pull over now, be safe with that now.

70
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:22.839
But everybody needs.

71
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.680
To be You need to repent, You need to go back,

72
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.040
and there's nobody no matter how old you are, if

73
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.079
you're able to speak, if you're able to make decisions,

74
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.319
you are able to repent because you would have something

75
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.519
you would need to be repenting for those kids who

76
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.959
are You don't like your vegetables, you don't like cleaning

77
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:41.959
your plate, and that's gonna be another story one time,

78
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.480
because I'm realizing we cleaning our plates really has led

79
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.959
to some overeating stuff. And we'll get to that another time.

80
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.680
But you know, you talk behind your parents back or

81
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:54.720
they tell you to go do something. They keep telling

82
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:56.680
you all the way over to clean your room and

83
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.800
clean the bathroom and take out the trash. Every child,

84
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.560
every child, no matter what your age, if you can

85
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.600
walk and carry things, good evening, ladies, eld Ca, you

86
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:09.800
had a beautiful weather today all right in Tennessee.

87
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:11.120
Yes, ma'am, thank you.

88
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.639
Every child that can walk and pick up something and

89
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.439
throw their trash away needs to have a chore at

90
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:19.920
their home.

91
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:20.560
Parents.

92
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.959
I don't care what you're thinking right now, because you're

93
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.120
doing a disservice to your children. If they don't know

94
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.000
how to clean up behind themselves, they're not motivated to

95
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.399
clean up behind themselves.

96
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.439
You've got to stop that. Stop it right now.

97
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:36.040
I don't care if your parents made you be like

98
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.040
Cinderella and you had to clean up all the evil

99
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:39.240
stepsister stuff.

100
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:43.319
I don't care. Every child is a national fact. It's

101
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:44.120
a proven fact.

102
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.839
When a child has had some discipline mini chores, they

103
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:53.120
come up differently, they act differently, they take off responsibility.

104
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.360
So you need to teach that child how to throw

105
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:57.639
out the track, how to take the trash out, even.

106
00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:59.040
If you've got a husband in the house.

107
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:03.040
And if you use it us and they keep breaking stuff,

108
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.439
go to paper goods. I did that a long time ago.

109
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.439
We got paper everything in here, everything even by I'm

110
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.199
into my platter plates now, and they all played paper

111
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:13.480
okay because SoCs are dropping stuff, and I was like,

112
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.439
wait a minute, wait, y'all didn't even buy that. I

113
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.160
can't even find that anymore. But everybody needs to be

114
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.639
repenting it, no matter how old you are, no matter

115
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.439
what position you have, no matter who you are, You

116
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.759
the matre are patriarch of your family, your kids, your

117
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.560
whoever's in your house, need to hear you repenting. You

118
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.519
got to do it. America's already gonna do he missed it.

119
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.240
Thank you. Yeah, you got to do it. You just

120
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.759
gotta do it. You because you you there's something you

121
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:40.399
need to be you're sorry for.

122
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.079
Right now, if I did a poll, right now, I say, okay,

123
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:45.439
one by one, tell me what you're sorry for. What

124
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.680
did you do today that you should call it? If

125
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.399
I tell you, Jesus is coming back at about five hours.

126
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.079
What you're gonna do, what you're gonna do, and you

127
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.759
know what you did earlier today you're gonna do where

128
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:57.639
you're gonna be, where you think you're going.

129
00:06:58.480 --> 00:06:59.240
We do it now.

130
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.959
Don't wait till you your deathbed. Sometimes you don't even

131
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:02.600
know you're dying.

132
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.160
I didn't know I had died twice in the hospital

133
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.199
till after the fact. Months later.

134
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.879
I'm reading my progress note, and then my daughter's telling

135
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.040
me about the second time she witnessed me gone.

136
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.240
So you need to repent.

137
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:15.720
Now.

138
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.839
We're gonna be talking about our topic. Tonight is National

139
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:23.279
Asset Awareness Month. Who's watching your dollar? Who's watching your money?

140
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:28.480
And getting into that more about being aware of your dollars.

141
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.600
And I thought about my young people out there are

142
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.759
young people, our young viewers and listeners. You now what

143
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:35.319
you're doing with your money? You got penny, do you

144
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.759
have coins all over your room? I used to tease

145
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:39.199
that one of my kids. I used to tease it

146
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:40.800
because they just leaded the money. They used to leave

147
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:42.560
their little change. I said, oh, I can hardly wait

148
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.360
till you get older. Don't change, don't change at all.

149
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:47.360
When you get your old place, I know, I can

150
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:49.680
go get me at least gas money. I know, And

151
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:51.040
all I have to do is just look on the

152
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:53.240
floor and I'll find what I need. Look between the couch,

153
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.240
I'll find what I need. No, you have to respect money.

154
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:57.439
You want have to love it, but you have to

155
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.439
respect it because it will do what you expected to do.

156
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:01.240
It will.

157
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.360
And there's numerous pictures humors. You have been telling us

158
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.920
we need to be aware of our money. Yes, Intastasia, Yeah,

159
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.079
we need to be be to be aware of it,

160
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.519
you need to understand it. You need to have a

161
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.839
different viewpoint on it. Because most I know there are

162
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.600
people who live from paycheck to paycheck. I get that,

163
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:22.000
but you're still in debt. You're not knocking out anything,

164
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.199
you know. So that's a whole different story right there.

165
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:28.079
That's a whole different conversation, you know. But there are

166
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:30.160
times I went through that and I would ask God.

167
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.000
I would put all my bills and I put I

168
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.240
knew the balance what I owed to that day, and

169
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:38.600
the Lord would have me to start calling the creditors

170
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:40.600
and just let them know I don't have it.

171
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:43.519
But right now my balance was two hundred and ten dollars.

172
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.240
I said, I've got eighty five dollars I can send

173
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.399
right now, and I need you all to go away

174
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:49.519
and say, okay, send us.

175
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:50.519
To eighty five right now.

176
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.919
And they told me out a zero balance, saying things

177
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:56.080
off as we go. You have to Mickey, Hey, Mickey,

178
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.200
you have to you look at that debt and you're

179
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:01.720
not touching it. Getting more and more stuff, but you're

180
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:03.879
not touching it. Get rid of stuff, and you go

181
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:08.279
through your clausets this weekend before Sunday, go through your clausets.

182
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:09.399
You can't tell it.

183
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.279
You won't find seven items that you're not you even

184
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:13.720
know you had it in there, you forgot.

185
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.000
Go through the garage, go through the attic.

186
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.559
You got things out there, take up the good will,

187
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.639
take them to the Salvation Army. Somebody can use them.

188
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:26.120
Find your domestic domestic violence shelters or children's shelters, or

189
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.799
even contact your DCL or your children's services out there,

190
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.440
who's in charge of foster care.

191
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:36.039
You can always just pass the clothes onder somebody else.

192
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.360
Pass the items onto somebody else.

193
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:42.200
I got like when we were talking about the assets

194
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:46.559
and that and stuff, have to watch those interest rates, right,

195
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.240
So I was just thinking too, if you have some

196
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:53.039
stuff that you don't need, then you can probably if

197
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.799
you're trying to pay off a bill or something, have

198
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.840
a garage sale yard. Tell don't have to sell it

199
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.639
for a whole lot, but then you can put something toward.

200
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:04.399
Maybe a bill came in.

201
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:08.240
And you maybe have a dollar table or a five

202
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.159
dollars table or something like that, and then you can

203
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:12.639
put that toward a bill.

204
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.639
And so find a consignment shop in your area.

205
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:20.360
If you really got a higher end clothes, you know,

206
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.240
and you don't want to give them away, find a

207
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.320
consignment shop, make a deal, barter with somebody. You get sixty,

208
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.559
I get forty. I'm good that forty to go to this,

209
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:31.080
that extra gos to this.

210
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:32.080
I got to pay.

211
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:34.919
Down these bills. Come on, now, you know what you

212
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:36.120
need to do.

213
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:36.639
You know what.

214
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:41.279
I was watching the judge show, the Three Judges, Judge Judge,

215
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:48.399
Judy's three show, Judge Judges, and the girlfriend was the girl.

216
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:51.039
She wasn't a girlfriend, she was really a good friend.

217
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:54.159
Check with all the help service places. Everyone needs help

218
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.519
right now. Yes, mister, you're right. There may be some

219
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:57.039
out there.

220
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:58.960
That can really help shave off some of the debt.

221
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:03.080
They really are you know, for those of you who

222
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.360
got okay, God is just reminded me of those of

223
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:06.759
you who got student loans.

224
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:08.399
Some one of those who are.

225
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.799
In education, go find it after school program and and

226
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.200
and work there. You know, they're probably looking for people

227
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.679
with you know, a degree, at least a four year

228
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:19.840
two year, four year degree to be like a pair

229
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.080
of professional help with the tutoring or whatever.

230
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:23.919
Go work there and.

231
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:25.600
If you be there for six months and then you

232
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:28.000
can report back to your student loan company. I've been

233
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:32.080
I've been doing para professional tutoring work in the in

234
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:33.320
the hood, in the neighborhood.

235
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:38.200
Uh, you know, school after school program. Nothing be a failure,

236
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:39.039
but a try.

237
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.000
I'm not sure if this is in every state, but

238
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.120
I know here if you work at the hospital, they

239
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:47.919
help you with your loans because one of my friends

240
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.759
is actually going to start working there to help student

241
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.440
loans and stuff like that, and they're known to do that.

242
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:56.600
It's crazy that this is the topic.

243
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:01.039
Hello, oh hey all Jannis, go ahead.

244
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.360
It's crazy that's the topic today because I have a

245
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:08.919
presentation tomorrow based off of the Florida Minimum Wage Act.

246
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:14.519
We chose like whichever legislative you know, and we're basically

247
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.720
like persuading why we're for this because currently we're going

248
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.480
to be shifting up to we're at fourteen dollars right

249
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:23.559
now as our minimum wage in Florida, but it's going

250
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:27.519
to fifteen dollars in September. But like my section I'm

251
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.960
speaking on how like, you know, wages are not keeping

252
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:32.840
up with living costs. From twenty twenty three to now,

253
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.039
food has gone out by two point six percent, electricity

254
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.480
four point four percent, and shelter is two point five percent.

255
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:44.639
So it's like, you know, everything that people are earning

256
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:49.080
currently is not enough to you know, afford basic needs, right,

257
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:53.879
and then like there's this living wage calculator where it

258
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.639
states that a single parent or a single person needs

259
00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:01.320
at least eighteen dollars and eighty five cents to meet that,

260
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:03.720
and if you're a single parent with one child, they

261
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.600
need thirty six dollars. So it goes to household of

262
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.600
how many children you have, of how much you need

263
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:14.480
to basically be able to afford now and with.

264
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:16.679
Inflation and stuff like that, it's crazy that you know,

265
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:18.679
it's the topic tonight because we're going to be discussing

266
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:19.840
this to the class.

267
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.399
It's gong and stuff like that.

268
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:27.360
So yes, thank you for sharing that. Yeah, so it

269
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:28.120
will be going up.

270
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.279
Y'all need to get that one. Yeah, because of you

271
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:31.840
who are in debt.

272
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:37.279
Y'all need to get a whole charculator. Okay, member households,

273
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.360
whatever the case may be, how much money you need

274
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:42.600
to make to be able to afford living basicly?

275
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.279
Wow, Yeah, these costs are only going to of.

276
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:47.480
Course keep fluctuating and stuff like that, but it's only

277
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.799
going to continue to rise because like that's just what

278
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:52.720
we're in now. I mean, you see, gas people are

279
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:55.399
barely you know, everybody's complaining about how much money is

280
00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.759
coming out for gas. Like I used to have to

281
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:01.879
pay maybe like thirty two thirty seven. So it's just

282
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.080
like just to fill up. And that's when I'm only

283
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.039
on a quarter tak like I'm not even like on

284
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.159
e I have at least a quarter left.

285
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:15.679
So yeah, yeah, no, no go ahead, no no, no,

286
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:18.320
I was just gonna piggyback on what miss Kate was saying.

287
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.960
But I'm gonna let her go and finished because yeah

288
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:25.279
finish yeah no, no, no, but I was, I was

289
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:27.360
just saying something else in the different. I know when

290
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:30.679
I was going through high school many moons ago, and

291
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:35.240
we had a family family life class and and the

292
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.080
teacher was very excellent, and so what she did was

293
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:46.440
she put various occupations and I had with the the salaries,

294
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:51.440
different different occupations. Everybody pulled it uh occupation out that

295
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:52.639
you didn't know what you were going to get.

296
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:54.000
Well, you're a married couple.

297
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.159
And then if you're a married couple who paired off

298
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.480
with the whole shabanc. And the goal was to be

299
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:04.720
able to look through a newspaper when we had newspapers

300
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:10.840
to look up apartments with apartments from rent, what size

301
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.360
you would need. Also, if you had a car, what

302
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:16.799
the insurance would be, or what the price of a

303
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:20.840
you know, what types of what the car payments could be,

304
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:24.000
so you can have an idea, because sometimes when it's

305
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.600
just numbers, people don't understand it.

306
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:29.200
And not trying to.

307
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.480
Shun folks, but a lot of lawmakers who make decisions

308
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.799
don't understand that that they're looking at something totally different.

309
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:41.240
So when you're trying to chastise or downplay people who

310
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:45.840
need extra funding, who need the food stamps, who need

311
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:50.759
the whatever, the working poor, actually it is the working poor.

312
00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:51.919
Look and see.

313
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.799
Now. I task people right now, look and see how

314
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:57.480
much apartment or a place to live, what costs.

315
00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.399
Now on your salary.

316
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.559
And whatever means you have, and those that are.

317
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:05.279
Living it understanding.

318
00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:08.000
But those that kind of saying, oh, you know, people

319
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.600
can get that, they don't need this, they don't need that,

320
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:14.360
really look and see, because actually it's a lot of

321
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:15.720
working poor and people.

322
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:17.919
Don't realize what that looks like.

323
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.360
You know, salaries, you might, oh, that's a good salary,

324
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:26.960
but when you're talking about how to pay rent, utility, utility,

325
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:31.919
car insurance, you know, your basic necessities, food, It is

326
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:35.080
a lot. And so that's my task to people out

327
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.840
there to kind of understand it to kind of look

328
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:40.480
and in that way you'll have a little more empathy

329
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:43.679
and some sympathy for people who are struggling.

330
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:44.960
Well, Trade they don't care.

331
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:47.879
I'm sorry, I know you That's why I love Trade

332
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:50.360
because she balances us out, you know, because she really

333
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:52.799
really just you know, she really gives, you know, she

334
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.200
really puts you know, like, Okay, I know you could

335
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:59.399
do it. I don't know. They don't care. Politicians don't

336
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.039
care because nobody has met that. They don't keep their word,

337
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:03.879
which I don't understand how you can live with yourselfn

338
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:05.960
be a liar. I don't understand it. That's why I

339
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.680
won't be into politics. Okay, because y'all ain't ready for me.

340
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:12.640
But nevertheless, no, they don't care. They know they're struggling.

341
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:15.240
They have children themselves who they have not been able

342
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:17.880
to be like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates to set

343
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.200
their kids up really well, you know, and teach them.

344
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:24.680
Guy Pharaoh from Grocery Games, he told all this kids, No,

345
00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:26.119
you're not inheriting.

346
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:28.640
Nothing to you. Get a college degree. Can you get

347
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:31.359
a college degree and then you can work along with me.

348
00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:34.559
I'm not I'm not setting all this up, so y'all

349
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:38.359
can lounge off of it. See, it's all that conversation.

350
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:40.920
It's how you lived in front of your children.

351
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:41.440
I know.

352
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:43.640
I was telling somebody the other day we were going

353
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:45.440
to I said, this is why I'm buy in bulk.

354
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:47.599
I like to buy a lot. This is before all

355
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:50.519
the shortage stuff came about, because I don't like going

356
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:52.839
to the store every week. Now I got to go

357
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:55.640
to the store every week because the food is not preserved.

358
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:58.440
I can buy hamburger and the exploration day, I can

359
00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:01.559
buy the hamburger today and the expiration date is tomorrow.

360
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:03.440
So that's why I got to go to the store

361
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:04.079
every week.

362
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:06.759
But before all this jumped out, I was going we

363
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.359
were going to the grocery store every three weeks.

364
00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:10.880
Every three weeks.

365
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:13.000
Now I got to go every week, and I am

366
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:14.559
really ticked about that because.

367
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:17.319
I got to encounter other people who don't you know.

368
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:20.920
Today for instance another for instance, oh sorry about that

369
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.599
tip this over. I'm driving and there was a guy

370
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.559
driving next to me in the next nine so I

371
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:29.839
looked at his front bumper was half off.

372
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:31.920
On the on the driver's side, so I already looked.

373
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.839
I said, I need to get from around you because

374
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:36.920
and this is just me, and please, I'm not picking

375
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.039
at anybody, but yet I'm making a point. Okay, I

376
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.839
have noticed that, and I know a few people like this.

377
00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:45.440
When you get in a car accident, you crunch up

378
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:47.799
your car, you get the insurance paid for whatever, you're

379
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:49.799
supposed to get it fixed, but you decide now because

380
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.000
you need the money, You get the pay bills, you

381
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:52.759
got to pay rent.

382
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:55.200
I get it. So you tape up your car. So

383
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:57.279
I knew you. I looked at him. I said no

384
00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:59.559
to me. So normally, when I see you've got you know,

385
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:01.119
and a lot.

386
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.680
Of dance and scratch it dents, I mean really dance

387
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.880
and broken this, I kind of keep my distance from

388
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.920
you because in my mind, you don't care. You don't care,

389
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:14.039
and I know already I'm already sizing you up. Yes,

390
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:17.599
I'm so sorry, but I'm a judgment profit. I can

391
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:19.920
kind of just look at people. And for us as

392
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:22.319
social workers, we meet you where you're at, but we

393
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.640
already know how you're coming, you know, we just have

394
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:26.680
to ask a few questions and we know where you're at.

395
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:29.559
Sure enough, guys, I kid you not. We clear the

396
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:33.680
light I'm side him. I'm looking at the trailer truck

397
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:35.680
in front of him, who's getting ready to turn.

398
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:38.559
This man is on his phone.

399
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:41.359
Like this, runs right into the trailer, runs right into

400
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:44.680
the trail and drove off, drove off, and I was.

401
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:46.759
Like, okay, and he just speeds.

402
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:48.680
I mean, he didn't even you know, he don't even

403
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.720
care because that bumper, that front mumper is already hanging off.

404
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:54.559
And where are the police when you need him nowhere?

405
00:19:55.079 --> 00:20:00.599
They're nowhere. So I said, see see lord do he

406
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:04.680
didn't care? And there you go. Okay, So I know we,

407
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:06.880
some of us, we get to a point where we

408
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:09.119
have to do what we have to do. You've maxed

409
00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:10.960
out your credit cards, then you pay them up, and

410
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:14.680
then you maximize again. That's just that circle. There's that circle.

411
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:17.799
It's it's not stopping. You're not paying off the car,

412
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.240
tearing it and cutting it up and throwing it in

413
00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:23.119
six different receptors, you know, in trash bend, so nobody

414
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:25.480
could put it back together a different trash bin, you know.

415
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:29.079
So you know there's that cycle. It's already in your head.

416
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:30.359
Oh I got to pay this all?

417
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:31.319
Okay?

418
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:34.240
Well, and next thing I know, two months not even

419
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:36.200
two months later, I got to pay off my credit card.

420
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:37.839
Is it the same one you talk You said you

421
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:38.519
paid off too much?

422
00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:41.640
Yeah, but you know, and I people tell me, no,

423
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:43.319
I don't know because I don't have a credit card

424
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:46.559
I got. I learned a lesson many moons ago with

425
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:50.160
credit cards and interest rates before they went crazy and

426
00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:53.759
I found Chapter thirteen bankruptcy to keep my family home.

427
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:56.759
So I said, I'm not going down that road. And

428
00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:59.240
now the world is making you that you have to

429
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:01.960
have a credit card. You can't rent a car down.

430
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:04.759
I'm trying to rent a car to go out of town. No,

431
00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:07.680
you can't rent a car unless you have a charge card,

432
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:10.599
not a bank card, not a debit card, not a

433
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:13.440
gift card from CBS. You've got to have a real

434
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:14.480
charge card.

435
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:15.559
So I can't.

436
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:17.960
I can't rent cars anymore. So I got to drive

437
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:18.960
my car out of town.

438
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:20.359
So no people needs.

439
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:24.599
Unfortunately, these people who are we've elected, we just knew

440
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:25.920
that they were gonna do right.

441
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:28.200
No, because something happens when they get elected.

442
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:31.359
The gavel goes down, they take an oath on the Bible,

443
00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:32.079
whatever that is.

444
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:33.640
I don't know how you live with yourself and you

445
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:34.440
you lie.

446
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:36.720
I don't know how you do that, because I mean,

447
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:38.680
I go through a lot of persecution when I know

448
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:41.880
I've lied, or I just kind of held back and

449
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:44.799
not told everything because I already know how you not

450
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:47.039
gonna be with it, accept it. So I don't want

451
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:48.720
that fallout and I don't want to have to deal

452
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:49.279
with everything.

453
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:51.440
And I don't want to have to deal with it. Misty.

454
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:53.680
Check when you get home. Check your.

455
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.559
Your message on under setting a straight page. I messaged

456
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:02.799
you early today. I need you to take a look

457
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:05.440
at that and get back with me, but.

458
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:08.119
Go ahead, go ahead.

459
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.160
Also, I want to add that you guys should be

460
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:15.720
aware of if you're working in a low wage sector

461
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:19.599
because if you're earning. I know every state is different

462
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:23.680
and everything like that, but just know your current minimum wage.

463
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:26.559
If you're working below that, you need to either get

464
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:29.480
a higher paying job. And with higher paying jobs, of

465
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:32.599
course you need qualifications whatever the case may be. But

466
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:36.000
a lot of people see, with God, everything is possible.

467
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:39.880
So if you have that relationship with him, you get

468
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:42.960
anything that you want, no matter if you don't qualify.

469
00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:49.000
Simple right, So to be aware of that because nowadays,

470
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:52.160
of course you're making below your minimum wage R States

471
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:55.960
minimum wage, et cetera. You don't want that because you're

472
00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:58.880
just you know, of course, living by each paycheck and

473
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:02.039
we don't want that, especially if you're supporting a family

474
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:04.960
and everything like that. And get certifications. It's nothing to

475
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:12.880
get free certifications. They have them online added to your residence. Yeah,

476
00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:22.240
you know, right, little queens and everything. Okay, but yeah,

477
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:26.480
get a qualification, like get us some certifications. Yeah, just

478
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:29.839
because it's so easy, and like you can get a

479
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:32.119
lot through LinkedIn. If you go to like your library,

480
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:35.160
they offer LinkedIn for free and that's like LinkedIn Learning

481
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:37.200
where you get certified on stuff and stuff like that.

482
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:39.000
Like you get the whole certificate, you get to print

483
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:40.759
it out, et cetera, add it to whatever.

484
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:43.160
Yeah, with school.

485
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:45.000
Yeah, we're getting rid of it.

486
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:47.759
I told you have a gen z or in your

487
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:48.400
back pocket.

488
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:50.400
Okay. I don't want to be labeled as that.

489
00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:56.640
I'm not the people, but yeah, crazy everybody generation generation stuff.

490
00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:58.799
I know that's the how you say, that's the.

491
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:00.559
Best way we can identify you, because I don't want

492
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:01.240
to go through all.

493
00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:07.400
Right, older people, See, we don't identify yourself ourselves as

494
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:09.920
because we all are not saying I don't want to

495
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:13.640
free and he sit up here and do all bad

496
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:15.720
types of stuff. Me and him is not the same

497
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:19.039
because we're the same age or younger than me, because

498
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:21.799
it's gen z Is that's younger than me. Some that

499
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:24.880
are older than me, so dead friends, we are all

500
00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:27.400
not the same. I'm not don't put me in a category.

501
00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:28.079
I don't know.

502
00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:30.400
Way she had old facial express came in here, in fact,

503
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:34.720
came in here because she knew right right, Yeah she's saying, hello,

504
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:39.000
see she's agreeing, right, yeah.

505
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:43.319
She just look in your face. Yeah's just gone.

506
00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:49.759
But yeah, yeah, yeah, take some certifications. Know what's going on.

507
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:52.039
And thank you Lee for telling that part about the

508
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:55.519
minimum wage piece. That's going to be key. That's going to.

509
00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:57.079
Be looking up, look up your states.

510
00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:58.839
If you're earning below that you got to make a

511
00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:00.880
change and trusting God that you will have the ability

512
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:01.839
to do whatever you want.

513
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:04.799
Like that's why you have to strive, strive.

514
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:11.000
We're all going, oh, should I repeat that?

515
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:19.559
Okay, I love he forgot to, but but I was saying, yeah,

516
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:21.720
that's what I was saying. To just be mindful of that,

517
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:25.680
because again, trust in God and believe that you could strive.

518
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:27.839
That's what I was saying. You can strive for whatever

519
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:29.079
with God. Throw it at him.

520
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:31.839
He wants you to think, Okay, what I'm telling him

521
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:32.720
is so impossible.

522
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:34.640
I know that can't happen to me because.

523
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:37.720
I only got a high school education. Whatever case may be, y'all,

524
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:39.920
it's nothing to get a cert It's really nothing to

525
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:41.640
get a cert and I just I just gave you

526
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:44.640
all a blueprint. Go to your library, get LinkedIn learning

527
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:47.839
for free, and you get certificates from there. Or I mean,

528
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:49.599
there's some places that you don't even have to pay

529
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:50.759
above one hundred dollars for.

530
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:51.960
But it's good to look.

531
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:54.279
It's a good look on your resume, and especially when

532
00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:56.359
you're going to these jobs and stuff like that, say you're.

533
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:58.079
Willing to learn. People love that.

534
00:25:58.440 --> 00:26:00.960
I noticed a lot of employers when they like they

535
00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:03.440
want somebody that's willing to learn, that's what they want.

536
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:05.759
They don't want somebody who has all the knowledge of

537
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:07.559
what their business about, et cetera.

538
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:09.039
And also research the business.

539
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:13.480
Any type of high level pain job you're looking to

540
00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:15.680
get hired from, make sure you know about the business

541
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:17.799
and what they do. Because when you can interpret that

542
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:20.160
within that hiring process, that interview.

543
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:21.279
They love that.

544
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:23.799
They all love it.

545
00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:27.480
So it's just like, be mindful that, but don't be

546
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:29.599
a know it all because not all organizations they don't

547
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:30.400
like know it all.

548
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:31.759
They want somebody that's willing to.

549
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:32.920
Learn on this speech.

550
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.799
So therefore be your own self, take that into the interview,

551
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:39.759
and trust in God that you'll be able to receive it,

552
00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:42.240
because you're going to receive whatever when it comes to God,

553
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:43.079
You're gonna receive it.

554
00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:45.200
Whatever, and however it looks to it may be better.

555
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:48.160
Then you may think, Okay, I just applied this one,

556
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:50.000
hoping again it could be something better than that. Even

557
00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:52.319
if you get turned down or rejected from that, God's

558
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:54.160
looking to test you to see how you would act

559
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:54.720
towards that.

560
00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:58.119
So she's in the audio.

561
00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:01.400
I don't know what happened, he said, audio only, So

562
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:02.039
I don't know what.

563
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:06.160
Yeah, I'm not sure what happened.

564
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:10.400
My daughter was making funny noises, so I had to

565
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:12.640
get up because nobody's in here. She's out here with me,

566
00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:15.279
so I had to go take a look because you know,

567
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:17.160
she four, but she acts like she too.

568
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:21.480
So but but yeah, that's that's.

569
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:26.640
Just taking this out all that because again, that is

570
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:27.680
literally what they're looking for.

571
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:29.519
It's the basics and if you just got a couple

572
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:33.279
of sirts, even with leadership serves, they love those leadership

573
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:36.279
ones because if you know the basis of being a leader,

574
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:38.160
that's what they want. You know what I'm saying, like

575
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:40.960
the soft skills and stuff like that, like you need that.

576
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.519
So that's one There used to be a phrase I

577
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:46.680
used to say back in you know when the last

578
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:49.440
time I interviewed. It's like, you know, while I'm a

579
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:53.119
self starter, I'm good team or either I'm great working

580
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:55.519
with teams, but I'm also a self starter. I don't

581
00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:56.319
know if they still like.

582
00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:01.799
To they still love that because the stresses that on us,

583
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:05.359
like when we're going like we've had last week we

584
00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:08.200
had a presentation with h Robinson and this is a

585
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:11.079
company that works with logistics. Phrase like making sure your

586
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:16.079
products is like you know, ship whether it's through boats, airplanes,

587
00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:18.680
all types of stuff. Right, it's a logistics company. It's

588
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:21.799
like one of the top three. So they came to

589
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:25.000
us for us to act as if we're their company

590
00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:27.839
and they other company. They're going to act as a

591
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:30.960
company that we're trying to solve the problem for and

592
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.440
they're big on team like working.

593
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:35.240
Together and stuff like that.

594
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:37.079
They be willing to like they come to all of

595
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.039
our what do they call it, We call it like invitational,

596
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:43.119
which is like a hiring process for the College of

597
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:46.079
Business at our school. So a lot of the people

598
00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:48.599
that come to our school are only hiring business students,

599
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:52.039
where the most of us ever hire I.

600
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:54.880
Was working answering when you miss answering.

601
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:56.599
I hope, hope we're on the right track.

602
00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:59.119
Yes, oh my god, mystic, can I share what you

603
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:01.839
just wrote to me? You just share you just answered

604
00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:06.960
my my my. Basically, the Lord had told me earlier

605
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:09.920
to reach out to her because I know she transports

606
00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:14.200
students and to ask to see if anybody's interested. Thank you,

607
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:16.640
thank you so much, if anybody is interested in having

608
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:19.680
a youth Bible, and said, let me, you know, just

609
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:21.440
hit me back on message or whatever.

610
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:24.720
And she just in boxed me and she says, I

611
00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:25.319
can share this.

612
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:28.759
I transport different great ages of kids and people and

613
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:30.519
people at different times.

614
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:32.440
I will say that more families of the.

615
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:36.319
Kids have returned to faith based involvement since the kids

616
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:40.160
have been listening to the show and talking with their families.

617
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:42.839
We got a few of the families together to have

618
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:46.799
a picnic and we answered some questions. After the picnic,

619
00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:49.000
we went to Ali's and picked up Bibles for the

620
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.079
different age groups and a few Bible study things that

621
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.400
explain how to talk to your kids and family about faith.

622
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.640
I love the man. I love that.

623
00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:02.200
I love that.

624
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:06.279
I think because more now because at the school they've

625
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:09.200
been passing out many Bibles. I've already got one from

626
00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:11.559
like a couple of semesters ago. But I've just been

627
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:14.319
seeing like people's attitudes towards these people, and I'm like,

628
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:15.160
you know, God, bless you.

629
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:16.119
They were like, you know, you want one.

630
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:18.640
I'm like, already have them, but thank you God, bless you.

631
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:20.400
You know what I'm saying. But it's just like dang,

632
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:23.920
like nobody wants to well college students. I mean, it's

633
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:27.279
all ages, of course, but like, you know, being rude

634
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:29.640
to those individuals when they're just trying to spread love

635
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:32.240
and stuff like that and give the people that don't

636
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:33.799
even have I mean, and.

637
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:36.920
Once again, people just don't like God. And trust me,

638
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:39.640
he doesn't know you, so I don't know why you're

639
00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:42.160
blaming him and you're finding fault and you're digging a

640
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:47.359
bigger hole. Okay, you're getting further away from him, so

641
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:51.519
you're further away from blessings if you were in the lineup. Yeah, okay,

642
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:54.079
but I know that there are evil people out there,

643
00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:55.359
so that to know.

644
00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:58.839
The week from the tear, He divides us.

645
00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:01.119
And I know it hurts a lot of people because

646
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:04.079
you want everybody to come on in. Well, not everybody

647
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:06.720
is gonna make it in. No, not everybody is destined

648
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:07.240
to be in.

649
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:08.279
And you've got to.

650
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:12.279
Watch out those who are draining you, who are who

651
00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:15.200
are just perpetrating a fraud as we used to say. Uh,

652
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:17.759
you got to be very careful about that. So thank

653
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:20.680
God for the children and the people that it takes

654
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:22.920
the right people to open the door sharing. This show

655
00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:25.359
is helping people reach back out to their faith. And

656
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:27.599
you know what, Missy, the odd thing is it ain't

657
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:35.640
hitting Orlando. The people that I know we live in Orlando, don't.

658
00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:36.200
Listen to the podcast.

659
00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:38.000
Oh yeah for sure, But.

660
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:42.279
Here are now I'm saying you were first a stranger, now.

661
00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:44.799
You're family, all of y'all. I want you to know

662
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:49.160
that your family. Okay, y'all listen, and then you do

663
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:54.240
the action. Faith without works is dead. It's okay to say, oh,

664
00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:57.160
I believe in God, and now I'm gonna I'm waiting

665
00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:57.799
for you to say that.

666
00:31:57.880 --> 00:31:58.640
This is what I do.

667
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:01.680
And also I want for you to say this is this,

668
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:05.079
this is this is proof something is taking back. You know,

669
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:08.200
I minister the people. I talk to people. If somebody

670
00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:10.440
needs to for prayer, I pray for people. Or I'll

671
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:12.240
just sit and somebody comes to my mind. This is

672
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:13.200
a real tricky one.

673
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:13.519
You know.

674
00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:15.759
You sit there because somebody was asking me this weekend.

675
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:18.200
You know, I keep thinking about this person. I said,

676
00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:20.279
maybe you need to pray for them. Maybe it's not

677
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:21.839
so much you need to reach out. You don't need

678
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:22.480
to hear their voice.

679
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:22.759
I used.

680
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:24.519
I went through a season of that. Well, I got

681
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:25.039
to find them.

682
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:28.279
You know, Louisiana, Mississippi listens.

683
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:35.000
Ain't no way near Florida.

684
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:38.160
Thank you and thank y'all for hanging in with God.

685
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:41.599
You hung in there, and you keep coming back, and

686
00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:44.480
then you kept coming back and all along He's giving

687
00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:45.359
us the topics.

688
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:47.440
So you see, I got to listen to him. I

689
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:48.640
can't make stuff up.

690
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:50.880
It's not about me, I mom, I mean, I have

691
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:52.920
to talk about Colorado and Tennessee.

692
00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:53.480
Thank you.

693
00:32:55.400 --> 00:33:00.200
I was just about I was gonna say, it's not

694
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:02.519
about us. It's really all God. You know what I'm saying.

695
00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:03.920
It is it is.

696
00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:06.519
And even even though I would love for folks who

697
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:09.759
know me, they're not my friends, but they know me.

698
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:12.839
They know I have a we have a podcast. I

699
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:16.240
would love it to somebody, but just tune in from Orlando.

700
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:22.400
And I'm okay, I have some ark. We used to

701
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:29.519
call it Arkansas. Thank you, thank you. This is the viewers,

702
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:31.119
This is the viewers.

703
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:35.240
I told somebody the story to share the testimony about

704
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:37.599
the father who had lost his job and then just

705
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:40.079
driving and help somebody on the side of the road.

706
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:42.759
And the person said, oh, I'm sorry. You probably have

707
00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:44.279
to get back to work. He said, no, I don't

708
00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:45.559
have a I'm out of a job. He said, you

709
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:49.599
looking for a job. So I'm kids, I'm glad you're listening.

710
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:50.759
I'm glad you have your Bibles.

711
00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:51.680
That is so cool.

712
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:55.240
And actually I was gonna have them engraved for you.

713
00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:57.559
Give enough, send enough seed to have them in graved.

714
00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:59.240
But that's all right. Just put your name in them

715
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:01.200
and study them. Study them.

716
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:04.039
So if you all have questions were on where we

717
00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:09.960
renewed testimonial. Amen, Amen, we we have. We're off another

718
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:13.119
year now, so shoot them at us. You've got questions,

719
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:15.000
We're going to do our best to answer them with

720
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:17.639
the help of the Holy Ghost. And like my daughter said,

721
00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:19.840
we it's not us, It's not about us. I went

722
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:22.960
through a training just now with the Amputee Coalition and

723
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:26.199
the main slogan they got is ain't about us. You're

724
00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:29.239
visiting a person, a fellow who soon to be a

725
00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:31.920
become an amputee or they become an amputee.

726
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:33.159
It ain't about y'all.

727
00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:35.920
And they just and I mean I had an eight

728
00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:39.360
hour training or hours a day of this and that

729
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:42.679
mantra was there and on the quiz on our quiz,

730
00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:45.719
I posted is it about y'all?

731
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:46.400
Is it about you?

732
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:49.440
And and and and and your visit? They don't even

733
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:51.280
call them clients or the visit?

734
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:52.440
Is it about you?

735
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:54.920
And don't you trick me on that that's false? No,

736
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:57.840
it ain't about me at all. I got one hundred.

737
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:01.719
But anyway, you know, and I know that the trainer

738
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:04.880
was probably a little concern because of my background being

739
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:08.559
a social worker and chaplain and she's I said, oh no, no, no,

740
00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:10.239
I specialize in boundaries.

741
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:12.440
I know what had I'm on. I'm on right now.

742
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:16.000
I'm just listening. I'm the student you teach me. It

743
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:21.320
ain't about what I think at all. M So I

744
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:22.920
know my roles especially.

745
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:25.519
And one of the question last questions on the quiz

746
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:28.119
was what have what is some what problem do you

747
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:32.119
think you may have in volunteering and doing this? I said, non, really,

748
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:37.159
because I specialized, I understand roles, boundaries. I understand that

749
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:40.559
every match is not going to be golden. Uh So

750
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:43.599
I got a retter understanding and I'm not bringing my

751
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:44.280
feelings in this.

752
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:46.719
And I said that on the training very good. Great,

753
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:48.559
think you at a station. It's no good.

754
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:51.320
Lord, thank you, Micky, because oh lord, you know you

755
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:52.199
get over the hell.

756
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:55.960
Thank you? Oh Lord. I did one hundred. I don't

757
00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:57.519
need no not in ninety five.

758
00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:02.079
I did the control and I sat down my score

759
00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:04.320
and they said, they said, you got your badge is

760
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:07.159
on the way. What is your role as a social worker? Okay,

761
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:09.679
my role is a social worker. When I have to,

762
00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:13.280
when someone calls in or if somebody could be in

763
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:15.480
the store, I meet people who like I don't know

764
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:17.239
what to do, and you can look at them to

765
00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:19.360
desponded and everything else. We were at a pop up

766
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:21.440
shop a couple of weekends ago. Young lady came back.

767
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:22.239
She because you don't remember me.

768
00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:23.840
I said, yeah, she was one of the vendors.

769
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:26.519
And then she started crying, and I'm like, okay, let

770
00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:30.239
me hold the space for her. I let me hold

771
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:32.239
the space, and I kept looking at her table make

772
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:35.320
sure she didn't have any customers. I said, is there anything?

773
00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:37.519
And all I could ask was is there anything you

774
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:40.239
can do about this? She goes, I have to grieve.

775
00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:43.559
I said, roll it out, roll it out, walk it through,

776
00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:46.599
walk it through. I said, oh, you got a customer.

777
00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:49.079
She got herself together and went back over and made

778
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:50.880
a sale. Somebody came in made a sale to me.

779
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:53.559
See so, as a social worker, you need to know

780
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:56.920
your roles at whatever role you're in. And I've shared

781
00:36:56.920 --> 00:36:59.960
this over time. You know you're calling me. You could

782
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.039
say to me, hey, miss great, you know, I.

783
00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:02.920
Just need somebody to listen.

784
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:05.360
I just need the vent, Okay, I'm not saying nothing,

785
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:07.760
not saying nothing. Most of the time people have to

786
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:09.280
say are you there, and say, oh yeah, I'm right here,

787
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:12.320
are here, I'm listening. I like that the hard way,

788
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:16.079
And just when I'm in a social work role resources,

789
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:19.400
I'm looking at people when i'm That was something I

790
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:22.119
was seeing on Facebook and I was in the chat

791
00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:24.880
and the people were way off base. I said, no, no, no,

792
00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:27.599
all you have to do is maybe do this and

793
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:28.719
do this check it out.

794
00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:30.920
I don't know what city you're in, what state, but

795
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:31.679
check that out.

796
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:33.719
They're like, oh wow, I didn't even think about that.

797
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:35.639
I ain't telling you what to do. I'm just saying,

798
00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:37.079
think about this or.

799
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:39.199
Look into this. You know, you may have to check it.

800
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:41.480
Remember that time we did the library interview with the

801
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:44.039
young lady and she told us that three social workers

802
00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:46.480
at the library here that helped out with four thousand

803
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:49.360
people want that year, you know, I mean, And many

804
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:52.199
people have called afterwards to say wow, I said, get

805
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:54.599
in touch at your library, just like but Belsia just

806
00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:57.559
miss Kate just said, you know, they have a Lincoln

807
00:37:57.559 --> 00:37:59.800
free Lincoln. So getting back to the social I know my.

808
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:01.400
I know my role.

809
00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:05.320
Active listening is key no matter what role you're in,

810
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:09.559
so that you won't overdo it, you won't embellish you

811
00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:12.079
won't try to make it about you. It's about okay.

812
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:15.000
Let me make sure. And then I've lately I've been

813
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:17.079
saying to people just randomly on the phone, I hope

814
00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:19.800
that what I've said, something that I said helped.

815
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:22.920
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you really helped. Okay, okay, Because

816
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:24.039
I'll give.

817
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:27.400
It all, I give it all, I hope something will

818
00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:30.280
stick out to you and make the difference that you need.

819
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:32.599
I hope that answered your question. Person.

820
00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:34.760
I can't say your name, I don't know where that

821
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:40.039
was your handle, but knowing your role, I've specialized boundaries.

822
00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:42.880
Oh I got that, got it down, and I used

823
00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:44.840
and I shared, like I said, I shared on over

824
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:48.199
the training this weekend. It sounds like kind of like

825
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:50.840
the SA case workers style social.

826
00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:52.960
Work case work. You're always gonna be doing casework.

827
00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:57.440
Case management is always that's the individual piece, that's not

828
00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:00.679
grouping everybody into the group into the old Oh yeah,

829
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:04.119
you're a bipolar I can tell no, wait whoa let

830
00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:06.159
me see. Let me see if you're just doing that

831
00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:08.800
for attention, or if you're on drugs and you high

832
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:10.840
and we want you know, we're gonna label.

833
00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:11.880
But people want to label your.

834
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:15.400
Schizophrenica because you're a minority. But if you're not a minority,

835
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:19.000
they label you seasonal effective disorder. When you get high,

836
00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:22.519
it mimics schizophrenia early on set schizophrenia.

837
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:24.000
When parents used to send me, I.

838
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:26.079
Don't know what we can't get he came home from

839
00:39:26.119 --> 00:39:28.320
the holiday his first year in school or her first

840
00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:29.000
year in school.

841
00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:29.920
If she won't go.

842
00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:31.519
Back, she started staying in the room. I said that

843
00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:34.480
maybe a little early on set of schizophrenia. Usually they

844
00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:36.199
make a break and they're having a breakdown, and you

845
00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:39.679
don't know it. We just happen to know that stuff. Okay,

846
00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:42.559
the case work is that that's just you can't help it.

847
00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:44.400
I can't help it. I was telling share it with

848
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:46.440
the group. You know, when I'm in publics and I

849
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:48.719
hear somebody and I happen to pass the island, ain't

850
00:39:48.760 --> 00:39:51.039
nobody there with them, and they talking just as loud

851
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:52.000
as I'm talking.

852
00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:52.840
And they don't have a blue tooth.

853
00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:59.239
Okay, we keep rolling, we keep going because they're entertaining voices.

854
00:39:59.719 --> 00:40:03.559
So but anyway, again, I hope going back to the

855
00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:08.360
finance piece of it. It's so hard and now it's

856
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:11.000
harder because you can't just go and get your job.

857
00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:13.159
Once upon a time, we could say, oh, you need

858
00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:14.760
to go get your find you find you some part

859
00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:16.920
time work, so you could go to, hey, Marty, you

860
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:19.440
can go to Walmart or the targets and get.

861
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:21.079
Your evening job part time.

862
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:24.079
We can't even do that anymore because they have different hours,

863
00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:27.400
and now everybody is going after those jobs. And I

864
00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:29.760
feel for TSA people. I think they're getting ready to

865
00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:31.920
get paid starting this week.

866
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:32.480
I hope and.

867
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:34.800
Praise that they are, because people are losing their homes

868
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:35.440
and everything else.

869
00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:36.880
Tray, you were gonna say something.

870
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:39.719
Yeah, I think they in different I've heard of something

871
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:44.039
that was called task Rabbit. So task Rabbit is it's

872
00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:46.960
almost like when they had like the Angie's List or

873
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:49.960
something like that, where you can look up people that

874
00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:55.000
do odd jobs or you can post your skills on there.

875
00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:56.960
So if it's something that you do, if they're looking

876
00:40:57.000 --> 00:41:01.159
for like a handyman in a certain area, you can

877
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:03.719
you can I don't know if its supply, but kind

878
00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:06.519
of post what you do or what you're willing to do.

879
00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:09.800
And there's different categories. I'm not sure if it's everywhere.

880
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:11.800
I remember seeing that out a year or so ago.

881
00:41:11.960 --> 00:41:12.559
Task rabbit.

882
00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:15.079
And then if you're you know, good with your hands,

883
00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:17.880
somebody might be looking for a handyman put some shelving

884
00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:20.880
together or run an errand or something like that. But

885
00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:24.039
those might be ways to make a little extra money

886
00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:24.639
as well.

887
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:29.119
And I'm laughing because I just had a situation with

888
00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:31.599
a handy person. They don't listen to the show, so

889
00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:34.000
I'm free, and I'm just like.

890
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:36.360
Don't get cocky. You the one need to work.

891
00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:39.599
You're getting picky, you like you know, I'm just I'll

892
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:41.199
do whatever I can help you. I didn't ask for

893
00:41:41.239 --> 00:41:44.719
your health. I need your service. Or you've been servicing

894
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:49.320
and you've changed your days of availability like I'm supposed to.

895
00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:49.400
You.

896
00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:51.360
Don't tell me that i'm your customer.

897
00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:54.880
I'm your customer, please, because you got you know, fifty

898
00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:58.239
fifty people, fifty customers that you think you could just,

899
00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:01.119
you know, lean back on me. Don't do that because

900
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:03.800
I'm a loyal customer. You take care of me, I

901
00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:06.559
take care of you, but then you mistreat me. I'm

902
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:09.000
looking for I'm looking for other people, and because I

903
00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:10.679
know I see them all the time.

904
00:42:11.079 --> 00:42:13.280
A guy had was in his Mercedes that had his

905
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:16.639
lawn mower in the trunk, and so all I have

906
00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:19.800
to do is excuse me? Are you available? Yes, ma'am?

907
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:21.599
Do the yard you want to do your No, I

908
00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:23.280
need you to go overcross town.

909
00:42:23.079 --> 00:42:25.480
To my office building and you do. All I'm asking

910
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:28.599
is you to just click man, because people don't understand.

911
00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:31.239
Cool enforcement be driving by. They need something to do

912
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:31.800
that look over.

913
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:33.800
So, oh that's an overgrown yard because it looks like

914
00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:36.760
the building is abandoned. Just a classie is trying to

915
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:39.960
learn about you and your roldans since it's so wide.

916
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:41.519
Are you undergrad level?

917
00:42:41.519 --> 00:42:41.639
Oh?

918
00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:44.159
No, I have a master's and I've already worked under

919
00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:47.559
past rabbits in many places, but not all. It depends

920
00:42:47.559 --> 00:42:49.960
on things. Okay, there we go on anastasia, but it

921
00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:52.800
doesn't hurt the check. If more people ask in different cities,

922
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:53.639
it may branch out.

923
00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:55.440
Good, thank you, thank you.

924
00:42:55.880 --> 00:42:58.599
But yeah, no, I have a two masters and one

925
00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:00.599
is in social work. My first one is in social work,

926
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:05.000
and I've studied. You know, I've wanted to stay in

927
00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:05.599
the trenches.

928
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:09.239
I did. I frowled upon private practice folk, and here

929
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:09.559
it is.

930
00:43:09.639 --> 00:43:12.079
I get remarried and moved to Orlando, and God has

931
00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:14.880
me in private practice and I'm under somebody else's uh,

932
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:16.880
you know, insurance licensed.

933
00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:19.119
Then I've never I took the ELSIE.

934
00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:21.440
I took the exam one time and passed, missed it

935
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:23.960
by six never went back because I was.

936
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:25.440
Already doing what I need to do.

937
00:43:25.559 --> 00:43:29.559
So, you know, God is good, but you know, linking

938
00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:32.400
yourself with the right people. I was on a conference

939
00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:37.920
call with grant writing for the county as one branch,

940
00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:41.920
one advisory type group has access to grants. So I

941
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:44.280
just went on and you got to You got to

942
00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:46.880
be there and be on it to get the certification,

943
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:48.920
to get the certification of attendance.

944
00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:50.960
You never have to do it again. If you want

945
00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:52.840
to apply for a grant, here we go.

946
00:43:53.360 --> 00:43:56.840
I many nonprofits know about that, and sometimes they're asking

947
00:43:56.960 --> 00:43:57.840
county and city.

948
00:43:57.880 --> 00:43:59.239
They're asking you to be.

949
00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:02.400
Certified by listening to what the requirements are.

950
00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:03.519
And I'm like wow.

951
00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:05.960
And the only reason why I felt that God told

952
00:44:05.960 --> 00:44:08.960
me to, you know, peak in, is because there's so

953
00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:12.039
many things that's changing. Are there grants out There's not

954
00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:14.119
as many grants out there as it used to be

955
00:44:14.199 --> 00:44:14.880
back in the day.

956
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:17.719
Requirements are different, So I got.

957
00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:19.280
To keep my you know, my hair on the pulse

958
00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:20.920
and then I'm gonna be talking to one of my

959
00:44:20.960 --> 00:44:24.320
clearing houses next week just to see what they're doing,

960
00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:26.960
what you're offering, because I know, and that's another thing.

961
00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:29.639
I'm not paying all these membership subscriptions and stuff.

962
00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:30.719
Do I really need it?

963
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:30.920
Now?

964
00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:32.559
What you know, I don't need it.

965
00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:35.440
It's not I'm not gonna be going into that that

966
00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:38.679
population anymore. So right now I'm focused on the Mputo

967
00:44:38.840 --> 00:44:41.400
you know population now because it's wide open.

968
00:44:41.800 --> 00:44:42.800
It's wide open, so.

969
00:44:42.719 --> 00:44:44.519
There's a lot in doing that, so you know, and

970
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:47.679
I can learn and stuff like that. So but anyway, well,

971
00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:51.639

972
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:56.440

00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:07.000
We're gonna be talking about this and why this topic

977
00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:08.679
is important and near and dear.

978
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:12.079
You're gonna learn a lot, trust me.

979
00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:14.280
But if you have questions out there, always go to

980
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:17.679

981

He's there, and I'm gonna leave you with this one

987
00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:38.760

that really quick, from Proverbs chapter thirty, Thank you on

989
00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:47.079
the stage as Proverbs thirty and five. Every word of

990
00:45:47.159 --> 00:45:50.280
God is pure, is pure. He is a shield unto

991
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:55.119
them that put their trust in him, that he's a shield.

992
00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:58.239
