joining me.

17
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:39.879
How are you doing it? How's your week been?

18
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.640
I'm well okay? Then all right, well it's a good start.

19
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:44.920
It's a good start. Let's pray.

20
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.599
Lord. We just love you so much and we thank you.

21
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.359
We just thank you for your goodness, your grace, your mercy,

22
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:54.840
your unconditional love, your unforgiveness. We just thank you, Father,

23
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:58.040
You're forgiving us and you're teaching us how to forgive,

24
00:01:58.480 --> 00:01:59.359
and we just thank you.

25
00:01:59.439 --> 00:01:59.719
Lord.

26
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.239
You're just so precious in our sight. Now we pray

27
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:05.760
for your people out there, known and unknown, those who

28
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.120
know you and those who don't, those who are seeking you.

29
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.439
Times are hard right now. They are hard, and other

30
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.280
people are making them harder. So we asked that you

31
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.800
quiet those voices for Father. We have a silent prayer

32
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.639
for those over here in cities near us, here in

33
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:26.879
Orlando that with the storm last night, really endured. Some

34
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.520
horrible situations are just there.

35
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:32.719
They will be encouraged. Lord, We love you.

36
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.400
This is your time to speak to your people. This

37
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.919
is your podcast, this is your show. We get behind

38
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.120
the cross and we wait patiently and earnestly the year.

39
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.639
What thus says the Lord? All this and what we

40
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:46.960
ask in Jesus' name?

41
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:48.400
Amen and amen.

42
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:53.520
This is tree Tray because it's hard out here everywhere. Yes,

00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.919

44
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.000
it is very hard, and we hope that we encourag

00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:00.759
rich everybody.

46
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:02.800
Tray. Hey, Hey, how you doing.

Hey, I'm doing well. Thank you. The long.

48
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.280
Just breathe. Just breathe, bom me, Okay, just breathe. It's

49
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:11.039
gonna be all right.

50
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.199
Yeah, just breathe because the days, the cares of.

51
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:15.719
The world is not ours.

52
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.240
If you are a true believer, the cares of the

53
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.240
world are not ours.

54
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:21.840
We are just a messenger.

55
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:27.080
We are the stand you know, surefooted, unmovable, unwavering.

56
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:28.520
Yeah, every now and then.

57
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.479
We may look up and say, God, don't forget about

58
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.520
me now. But it's hard, it's dirty hard. I'm here

59
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.479
the couple of cities here in Orlando. I mean, it

60
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.599
was a nasty rain last night, the thunder and lightning,

61
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:41.960
and there was a flash flood. I think that's what

62
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.360
they termed it as. But here I am. I mean

63
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:48.719
here we are looking at the news today and several

64
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:54.159
cities we get that's not even potholes, streets, roads are

65
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.680
just decayed, like something came and just like Godzilla came

66
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:02.479
through and just stumped them. I've never seen water, flooding

67
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:04.319
water do that kind of damage.

68
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:05.400
I could see if there.

69
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.520
Were trees on it to wear those roads out, but

70
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.439
I mean, and it's really deep, and some people still

71
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:12.360
try to drive through the water, not knowing that there

72
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.960
was holes that the roads that given way, and we've

73
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:20.040
got you know, folks on boiled water situations and all

74
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:25.040
this right here in Florida. There's Central Florida. So my

75
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.360
heart goes out to you. I was just sitting there

76
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.040
like what what watching the news.

77
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:31.120
We had no idea.

78
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:35.560
So if just a few hours of rain, intense heavy

79
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:38.759
rain can do that, we don't need tornadoes, we don't

80
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:44.120
need hurricanes, we don't power outages that caused power outages,

81
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:46.720
we don't need the rest. So everybody needs to be

82
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.560
praying that we're done now. I know everybody looks at

83
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:52.720
November thirtieth as the end of hurricane season. Well, I

84
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.319
have been in Orlando. I'm a native Floridian, but I've

85
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.879
been in Orlando for twenty four years and there was

86
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:04.399
a hurricane in Beware, there are tounatic situations in the spring.

87
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.319
So I don't look at November thirtieth. I know that

88
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.319
makes you feel better, but you still need to be prepared.

89
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.839
You still need to go ahead and get all your tangibles,

90
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.240
get your waters, get everything. Prices are going up, prices

91
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.720
are coming down, you still need to get things. This

92
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:22.079
could be some shortages coming. We don't know. Now, I

93
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.839
want to just go off the grid here for just

94
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.240
a minute. I want to speak to these folks who

95
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.000
are so insensitive. You just got to get on Facebook

96
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:34.000
and instill fear in people all about you got to

97
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.000
get your you gotta you're getting your food said, I'm

98
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:36.959
gonna get my snapper on.

99
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.120
What are you doing? What are you doing?

100
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.839
You're instilling fear just because you want to look the

101
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.480
same and you're still not playing, still not saying. You

102
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:51.279
need to be praying that everybody we need will first.

103
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.000
I don't know what that's gonna look like personally, as

104
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:58.839
a social worker advocate from a family therapist.

105
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.120
What are these need to be revamped.

106
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:03.600
They need to be revent because they've gotten out of control.

107
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.240
And I'm not talking about folks that will be classified

108
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:08.040
as immigrants.

109
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:09.800
I'm not talking about those people.

110
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:14.160
I'm a regular folk, which is sitting down having babies

111
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.519
and thinking everything is going to be okay, and you

112
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:22.439
think is an entitlement and you get your next generationickness

113
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.079
and well, if honey, god I get the part, know

114
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.399
you go, they will ask you to move yourself. That

115
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.000
lad is not supposed to be that. All these element

116
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:35.600
programs were temporary. They were not supposed to be everlasting.

117
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.639
You're not supposed to stay on them for years. That's

118
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.120
the first thing we've learned it in collect the social work.

119
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.800
When these programs in the nineteen hundred first came about.

120
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.800
The people have made it and during the honggoing calibrated.

121
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:52.079
Oh, almost like Cana.

122
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.319
Where we agree with me that you have government tell

123
00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:00.240
you cannot if you're a single woman, you can not

124
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.560
have entertaining guests and anybody living in what we're paying for.

125
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.480
I'm gonna have a nonprofit and one of the other

126
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.920
one of the things, folks, you've just got nonprofits.

127
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:10.800
Can't understand.

128
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.199
All want to get all the federal government, these frands,

129
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.920
these friends. But the grand people say, hang across from

130
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.040
the building that we pay for, pay the rent for.

131
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.279
You can't have biblical things going on, a Bible study

132
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.319
in the building that we pay for, in the space

133
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:24.079
that we pay for.

134
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:26.199
So this has all been building up.

135
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.759
This is nothing new now that it's about to just

136
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:33.279
collapse and be yanked out. No questions, no surveys, No hey,

137
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.519
what's your opinion, No let's vote on this in our

138
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.839
talk in November. No, it's all been got get you

139
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:43.680
know what, unveiling, unwinding forever. It wasn't meant to be

140
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:49.360
Social security itself, was not meant to be an ongoing

141
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:54.279
long term income. It was temporary assistance until you could

142
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:55.079
get on your feet.

143
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:56.399
But then over.

144
00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:00.839
Time it's expanded. It had to expand out for Socialscurity SSI,

145
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.759
then Social Security disability, and then Social Security death benefits

146
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:07.199
for minor children.

147
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.720
But nobody's putting all the treeons of dollars. Now.

148
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.480
If you sit back, and this is just me talking,

149
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.399
if you're sitting from the revelations God has given me,

150
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:19.079
if you just sit back and watch, you got to sit,

151
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:21.639
You got to watch, and you've got to pray. There

152
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:23.279
are times you need to be fasting.

153
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.560
Figure it out. I know you're on medications.

154
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:28.920
Figure it out, turn over the plate, just go an

155
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.000
hour and spend that moment with God. That's what fasting means.

156
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.759
You don't just stop eating or I'm gonna stop watching

157
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:40.279
stuff on stop watching Netflix. No, that's not true fasting.

158
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.639
I know that that's just you making that dedication.

159
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:45.639
Again. I'm talking to those.

160
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.919
Nim kapoops that are on Facebook and you just curse

161
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:54.200
it like there's no tomorrow. I know you probably a

162
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.919
singer in the church on Sundays and you're instilling fear.

163
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.600
Cut it out, Cut it out. It's not fair, it's

164
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:04.720
not nice. You've got to be praying for the stuff

165
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.679
that's going on behind the doors, behind the closed doors,

166
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.039
behind the scenes, what's in the in between, in those

167
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.000
documents and those laws that's being passed. That's what you

168
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:18.440
need to be praying about and calling out. AI is about.

169
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:19.519
To take over the world.

170
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.039
But it was already told to us in the Bible

171
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.840
in Revelations, the image this thing.

172
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:27.320
But it you don't even see.

173
00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:28.960
That coming because you want to get on and have

174
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:31.919
two seconds of frame what you're doing, and then I

175
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:35.519
have to stop praying my prayer points to pray about you.

176
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:38.399
That's what a prayer warrior. You're done. If I may

177
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:38.879
lose some.

178
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:42.080
People tonight, I can't apologize. This is who I am,

179
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:43.159
this is this is.

180
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:43.919
Just the truth.

181
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.440
You've got to You've got to You've got to those

182
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:49.960
of you who are doing that mess stop it, because

183
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:51.679
after a while, we won't have no Facebook, we won't

184
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:54.480
have no Instagram, we won't have any social media.

185
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.879
Where you could speak freely. Keep it up, just because.

186
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:02.159
You want to say something nice, say something encouraging to people.

187
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.840
And my prayer, in my prayer, Lord sends someone on

188
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.399
their everybody's path that believes in you, that they believe

189
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.799
in they know. Oh, when she speaks or when he

190
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:16.039
speaks to me, he's telling the truth. She's telling the truth.

191
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.720
That's what I'm talking about. You got to take your

192
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.000
mind off of what you don't have right now. And

193
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:24.200
I know that's hard. I've been in that situation before,

194
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:27.200
married to a man was over the road has Matt

195
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.480
truck driver, so you know he pulling money. I better

196
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.600
not touch it without his permission. Oh, I've been there,

197
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:39.039
done that. I have paid, I had to go to

198
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.919
pay day loan, I had to go to the pawn shops.

199
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.559
And I'm in the house with a man that made money,

200
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:46.279
but I couldn't touch it and.

201
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.039
Take care of my babies. There was a way, God

202
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:49.720
made a way.

203
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:53.639
People would just send me cards with a published gift

204
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:57.360
cards in cards in them or a Visa gift card

205
00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:58.679
in it out of the blue.

206
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:00.159
Don't know what I'm going through.

207
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.840
But I prayed and said, God, you got to help me,

208
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:06.919
Please help me, don't forget about me. Show me now

209
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.519
that I was asking for help from outside people, I'm like,

210
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.399
show me what I need to do. Got a lot

211
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:13.799
of education under my belt.

212
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:16.759
But folks, they weren't hiring then. And guess where we're

213
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:17.320
going now.

214
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.879
We've been telling you, get you some extra jobs, put

215
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.639
some money aside, don't put all the money in the bank.

216
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:27.200
We've been telling you this forever, and now everybody's looking

217
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:27.639
for work.

218
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:29.320
Everybody's looking for work.

219
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:31.720
Now, everybody's trying to get They don't care if they're

220
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:33.200
working four hours, three.

221
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:33.720
Times a week.

222
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.000
Now you competed with a whole bunch of people now,

223
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:39.279
whereas before you weren't. But if you were listening, and

224
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.919
I'll say this again, I've said it before and I

225
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:45.799
said it again. President Trump, we know he babbles. We

226
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.679
know exactly where he's going. We know exactly what's on

227
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:51.080
his mind almost day to day. And I'm not even

228
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:56.279
on Twitter. But I want hearing from keeping key people

229
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.679
who hears him where they're recording him.

230
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:03.200
But JD. Vance, we don't know. We don't know. And

231
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:04.320
if something.

232
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:06.480
Happens to Trump, but he can't fulfill these next two

233
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:11.000
years of term, Advance automatically assumes the position, and I

234
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.600
don't think we get to vote for his VP. That's

235
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:17.080
what you don't want, because that's all that's all evil.

236
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:17.679
Believe it.

237
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:21.200
There you sit with that repent and say, God, forgive me,

238
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:24.120
because I'm gonna tell you something about gossiping and talking

239
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:28.200
evil about somebody or giving your opinion, and you really.

240
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:29.399
Don't have all the facts.

241
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:32.480
And I'm one that's done that too, because did you

242
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.399
hear and it's not true? And I'm like, oh my god,

243
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.519
I gotta go back and tell everybody be careful of

244
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:42.679
that repent repent. I said, God, I'm sorry, I thought

245
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:45.799
that was true. I did repeat it in anger, out

246
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.600
of whatever, and move on. Now today we're talking about

247
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:53.480
making a difference. This is about making a difference in

248
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.360
what you do and how you think. I've got people

249
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.519
out there that want to you know, oh I'm this

250
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:02.840
and I do that. Well, who have you impacted today?

251
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:06.399
Who have you influenced today? That's don't don't come to

252
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:08.840
me with that, because even if I've known you for

253
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:11.639
thirty years, don't don't. Don't don't go down that road

254
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:13.480
with me, because I'm wondering, who did you say?

255
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.120
Who did you talk off the ledge?

256
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:17.519
Last week, and I'm not going to come after you

257
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:20.840
with something I don't do myself. It's easy to take

258
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:22.799
care of somebody. It's easy to find somebody. And I'm

259
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:25.240
not talking about people who are actively on the street.

260
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.360
I'm talking about it could be your neighbor and not relatives.

261
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:30.320
I'm talking about you. It could be your neighbor, it

262
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:31.720
could be somebody you don't know.

263
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:32.480
Just listen.

264
00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:35.000
Go to the store and listen. Go to I Hoop

265
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:36.919
the next time you go to I Hop. Just watch

266
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.440
the folks and then who have kids when the mother's

267
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:41.639
telling them, no, we can't, no, no, we can't. No,

268
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.399
you're not gonna get that. Why don't we just try this,

269
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:45.000
you know what, We'll just get this.

270
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:45.879
Listen.

271
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:49.720
We've been telling you for Wow, You've got to put

272
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:51.159
into practice what you learned.

273
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:51.879
You got.

274
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.799
It's application, it's activation and to to the point where

275
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:57.480
you want.

276
00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:58.799
It to be a lifestyle.

277
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.440
I have one of my teacher shirt says say Proverbs

278
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.080
thirty one woman, it's a lifestyle. It's a lifestyle because

279
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:08.480
I my daughter's like, oh my god, yes, I was

280
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:10.080
with her when I had t shirt.

281
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:11.799
Also, people are so busy trying I have.

282
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.039
My crossbody, you know, personal, so they couldn't hardly be there.

283
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:16.759
So they try to read my shirt and I'm still

284
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:19.080
walking and they're like, okay, I'm trying to read.

285
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:19.639
She said.

286
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:23.360
Yeah, it's a lifestyle. I consider a feel and I

287
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:26.639
buy it. I make sure everybody in my household is

288
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:30.559
taken care of. I'm almost the last to go to bed,

289
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:32.559
but I'm the first one to get up, except for

290
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.159
my son who works overnight. Oh watch it, watch it,

291
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:36.080
miss kay, I see you.

292
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:39.799
Because some people like their sleep.

293
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:46.960
I ain't talk about nobody. So yeah, what you know now,

294
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:53.120
what you learned now should be lifestyle. Lifestyle for making

295
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:55.440
a difference. I'm gonna circle. I'm gonna come back to

296
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:57.200
that now. We're gonna talk about that a little bit

297
00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:58.759
more than a little something I want to share with

298
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.200
you in my scripture reading. Actually also the Bible study.

299
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:06.120
We had family Bible study last night. So miss Trade,

300
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:08.480
what what what? What were your thoughts on this this

301
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:11.159
holiday making a difference day?

302
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.159
Well, I have some a few things.

303
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.759
Making a difference could be as simple as a compliment,

304
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:21.600
you know, because you never know.

305
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:24.200
I know, I sometimes I feel.

306
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:28.679
Frumpy or lack energy and not at my best and

307
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.559
sometimes you know, people will say, you know, nice smile

308
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:33.759
to day, or I like what you have on and

309
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.399
it and it can pack you up, you know. I

310
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:40.159
try to throw out compliments when I can, you know,

311
00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:44.240
especially when people are doing well or or struggling. I

312
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.639
can see there as a struggle. But yet day in

313
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:49.240
and day out, they still show up and show out,

314
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:55.519
and so let me see, I think it's needed. I

315
00:15:55.519 --> 00:16:02.159
think it shows humility being able to make a difference

316
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.919
in someone's day, whether you're paying for a lunch or

317
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:09.960
or helping someone out, a neighbor, a senior, something of

318
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.080
that nature. But I think we but we should always

319
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:17.440
be in that that mode, make a difference somebody. You

320
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:20.600
never know what ledgs I mean really because sometimes you

321
00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:23.759
never know what people are going through, and you know,

322
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:25.840
especially they say, well you made my day to day.

323
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:26.720
I needed that.

324
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.960
And I've told people that before, Thank you, I really

325
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:30.960
needed that today.

326
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:36.360
I really appreciate your your kindness and your your assistance

327
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:37.559
and support. You know.

328
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:40.440
So those are the summilar things that I try to do.

329
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:43.480
What I think that's something that we need to do

330
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:47.480
all the time. It's make a difference, and words are

331
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:51.000
are free. You know, words are free and if you

332
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.960
see something that you're like, you know, with appropriateness, you know.

333
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:55.799
I like, I told a young lady the other day

334
00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:58.759
and I was, I loved your hairstyle. But I say,

335
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:00.559
but I was thinking to myself because she had been

336
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.279
a patient, a cancer patient, and her hair is just

337
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:03.759
growing up.

338
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.319
But her hair was absolutely gorgeous. And I compliment. I said, ma'am,

339
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:10.079
I said, your hair is beautiful. She said, well, thank you.

340
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:13.279
So you know, you never know, you never know.

341
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:16.559
And I just tried to give to people what I

342
00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:19.279
would like done for me, whether I know him or not.

343
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:20.680
And that's the key.

344
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:25.839
It's it's not about getting any that coming back to you.

345
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:28.599
You don't need any praise, you know, just and and

346
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:30.319
to really mean it.

347
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:32.119
Just to really mean it. You know.

348
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:35.799
I had an inspector come by today and he had

349
00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:39.960
on a Cranberry shirt and black pants and the black

350
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.240
and I noticed this. I'm like, and I mean, you know,

351
00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:46.000
I saw the Wether band too, but you know, I'm

352
00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:48.759
just looking at this man and that compun that shirt

353
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:51.480
really brought him out. It was really and for that

354
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:54.039
to be a work shirt with the city and you

355
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:56.839
know logo on it, I was really impressed. He chose

356
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:58.400
a burgen. It's a pretty color.

357
00:17:58.440 --> 00:17:59.319
It was nice on him.

358
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:01.440
And I said, no, this man is trying to get

359
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.440
to where he got to go and get out, so

360
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:06.079
I'm not gonna make no small We had small chat

361
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:09.519
as I was escorting him, but that was it, you know.

362
00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:11.240
But I looked at this man and I'm like, well,

363
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:13.240
you have a great day, and please be safe out

364
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:14.960
and he looked back and he said thank you.

365
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:15.319
Thank you.

366
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.440
And I was like, oh wow, you know, Lord, please

367
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.240
keep him safe because you know, but it's just that,

368
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.480
just that little compliment sometimes, and again, you don't ever

369
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:28.559
know what's going on on folks minds. You have no

370
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:32.000
idea where maybe that could just calm him down and

371
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:34.519
just say, you know, you know, oh thank you. I

372
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:38.599
have a former neighbor from when I lived in my

373
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:42.440
condo and we've kept in touch and she sends me,

374
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:45.839
you know, little nice just little admirations in the mornings

375
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.200
and stuff, and I said, you know what, today and

376
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:50.000
when I really needed it, I'll say, you know what,

377
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:53.400
today I needed this. Thank you so much. Today I

378
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.599
needed this. And sometimes we don't know when we need it.

379
00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:59.279
We as the recipient We don't know when we need

380
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:02.640
it until someone says something and it's like, oh, thank you,

381
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:05.920
thank you, mss k you want to add anything.

382
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:09.279
Well, first before I give my opinion, I could see

383
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:12.079
the comments, but you guys can't see the comments, so

384
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:16.119
it hasn't popped up yet for you guys. But Missy said, wait,

385
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:19.839
what referring to the s SI conversation was talking about

386
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.240
and AI is a bad thing for sure. Mickey said,

387
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:23.920
not a good time of the year to be out

388
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:26.799
of work. And the stage that says, should we keep

389
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.519
money in a bank or on? If you switch over,

390
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:32.359
if you see private chat, you switch to comments, press comments,

391
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:34.240
and you'll be able to see the comments of people

392
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:36.680
pop up because it's not popping up on our screens.

393
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:38.240
But I usually have it on so I can see.

394
00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:40.279
Yeah, so you can see that, just so they don't

395
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:42.279
think that we don't see what they're it's just not

396
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:42.799
popping up.

397
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:44.440
But I can see it though, Yeah, I can't see

398
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:44.960
it on mind.

399
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.000
Yeah, yeah, so now it's popping up on the screen.

400
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:52.039
Okay there, okay, okay.

401
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:55.200
But as far as my opinion, Mom, you know you're

402
00:19:55.200 --> 00:20:00.119
on mute right you over there talking you on mute.

403
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.079
You got to press the button. Mom.

404
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:13.400
There you go, it's working now. Anyways, my opinion, I

405
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:15.319
just wanted to share. I had one to the gym

406
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.279
a couple of days ago, and I was in this

407
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:20.839
dude's way, but like we kind of made eye contact,

408
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:22.680
like okay, and I'm like, okay, I'm sorry, you know,

409
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:23.920
I moved out the way or whatever.

410
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:24.799
He was like, no, you're good.

411
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:27.960
So I wear a mask everywhere I go, so like

412
00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:29.640
he was like, thank you for smising.

413
00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:30.920
He was like do you know what that means?

414
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.440
And I was like yeah, and he had dapped me

415
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.039
up or whatever, and he was like, you don't understand.

416
00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:38.480
I really needed that today. So I walked off. I'm like,

417
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:39.200
you know, no problem.

418
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:41.400
He was like God bless you so and I walked

419
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:43.839
away like you okay, no problem. Then a couple of

420
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:48.559
days later, I went back to the gym, and usually

421
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:50.440
I don't really pay attention to nobody, but he came

422
00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:55.400
up to me and basically said thank you again for smising.

423
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:56.240
At me and stuff like that.

424
00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:58.880
So you know, it's just again the little things, the

425
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:02.400
simple things, you know. And usually as I'm wearing a mask,

426
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:04.519
all people see is my eyes. So I make sure

427
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:07.960
I am smising at people when I encounter people, because

428
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:10.079
I don't want to, you know, think I'm walking around

429
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:12.160
with it. I'm a happy person, you know, I want

430
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:14.880
to give people the same energy despite what they're going through.

431
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:19.079
So it's very important and to just encourage people because

432
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:22.160
people need encouragement in the times. Like even my students,

433
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:24.359
I make sure they okay before we even get to

434
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:25.920
doing any type of work.

435
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:27.680
I'm a tutor, by the way, I'm not a teacher.

436
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:32.079
Before we even get into the session, I ask them,

437
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:34.640
you know, how was school, what's going on? You know,

438
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:37.279
checking on our mental health and stuff, because these kids

439
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:42.480
actually are going through things as well. Surprisingly as a

440
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:45.599
when I was a kid, we had no care in

441
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:46.039
the world.

442
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:48.640
You know, like we didn't necessarily okay bullying.

443
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:52.079
Here and there, but it was never that serious.

444
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:55.720
Only okay, but you know.

445
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:57.839
We didn't really think much of it as kids, Like

446
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:02.319
we weren't like there was no depression anxiety like Amonga's

447
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:05.519
for real. But now it's like these kids, ever, the

448
00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:09.920
more they're depressed, you know, experienced anxiety bullying more than

449
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:12.880
ever and like to the extreme because social media is

450
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:15.039
also playing go Roland to that as well. So I

451
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:17.240
make sure I speak with my students, making sure they're

452
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:19.640
okay mentally and making sure they actually had a good day.

453
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:21.880
And when they want to have a conversation, we'll sit

454
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:23.720
up there and talk all day. We get to the work,

455
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:25.759
but I want to make sure that they're okay and

456
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:28.079
in the right mindset and know that somebody is there

457
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:30.559
for them, somebody will listen to them if it's not

458
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:32.960
happening at home. And that's just the real of it,

459
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:36.839
because sometimes it's not happening at home. So again it's

460
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:40.119
it's just important, like you know, why not reflect that

461
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:42.720
energy onto other people because as soon as they feel

462
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:44.759
that they're in a better mood, you know what I'm saying. Again,

463
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:47.599
we all go through things, we all go through it,

464
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:51.720
and it's just you know, little thing, little things here

465
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:54.519
and there, is not bad at all. And you know,

466
00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:59.079
spreading the love, spreading God's love, that's everything. So peace

467
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:02.960
is love is everything. Especially if you ask for it,

468
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:06.079
he will give it to you, you know. So surround

469
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:09.519
your heart with your mind with So just be mindful

470
00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:12.200
of others, especially if you have children and stuff like that.

471
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:14.200
Check when your children or anybody you know, that's.

472
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:18.279
Young because we're experiencing a lot of things as a

473
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.799
young adult. The other children, and you know, some people

474
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:27.720
cannot handle what's going on. So motivation is everything.

475
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:28.880
Yeah, that's right.

476
00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:31.079
And you can see it on people. You can see

477
00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:34.240
it on them. They are people are miserable, even the

478
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:38.000
more now. And I understand it. I get it, especially

479
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:39.559
the unknown, just.

480
00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:42.319
The unknown alone. You just don't know.

481
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:44.759
What is Is it going to happen November first? November

482
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:46.319
first is Saturdays, so that means it's gonna happen on

483
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:48.759
October thirty first. You know, all kinds of stuff, and

484
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:50.960
you've got all these voices in your head. Some of

485
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:53.359
us can calm the voices down. Some of us cannot.

486
00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:56.160
And people are living in fear. They don't know what

487
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:58.279
to do, they don't know where to go. At least

488
00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:00.440
once upon a time you can say, you know what, Okay,

489
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:02.079
you know what, I can go ahead and just move

490
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.599
to you know, to to Boston. I can go ahead

491
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:06.480
and move with my family, is I can we can

492
00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:08.400
go up there and move with trade, you know, and

493
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:11.960
you know, now we don't have it's happening everywhere in

494
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:14.880
the United States. And then we've got countries out there

495
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:17.799
that don't want us right now because of you know,

496
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:21.480
what's going on, you know that in the political atmosphere,

497
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:24.880
so you know, we don't know. But you can read them.

498
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:27.480
You can read people, you can read them. And sometimes

499
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:30.119
people just they'll just come out a cashier just come

500
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:34.160
out and just say and it's like, oh, man, like okay,

501
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:36.319
where's the whole the manager didn't hear that because you know,

502
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:39.200
like I'm just trying to make it and they literally

503
00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:40.880
are just trying to make.

504
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.920
Literally and yes, go ahead, no, but just like you

505
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.559
were saying, you know, it's a lot of people furloughed,

506
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:51.400
not knowing when how they're going to pay the rent,

507
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:55.799
how they're gonna get you know, how they're going to

508
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:59.720
pay for their medical needs. You know that that's something

509
00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:03.720
to and even if you're not furloughed, if you just

510
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:08.200
when they say a job is just overbroke, job is

511
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:12.240
just overbroke. And somebody I heard somebody turnroize, just like

512
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:14.839
just over broke. And it's like there is a lot

513
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:17.599
of fear, you know, temperaments, and you can tell by

514
00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:20.319
the way people are driving, you can tell by the

515
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:22.799
way they're speaking with each other. You can tell how

516
00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:25.640
you know, something simple could just be a big blow up.

517
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:28.960
You know, it's I don't know what I do know

518
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:32.319
what it is? It's it's it's all the things.

519
00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:34.880
That people have to deal with and just not knowing

520
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:40.400
how to express themselves, and with frustration and just scared.

521
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:43.240
If that that's that, that fear, that's scared of what

522
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:46.039
am I going to do? Then you know you're looking

523
00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:48.960
at it too. People are getting older, you know, aches

524
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:52.400
and pains are coming differently. Thoughts are different, you know,

525
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:58.640
you know, planning is different, your movement is different. Will

526
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:01.559
there be something me when I get older? You know,

527
00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:05.480
those are some of the things that older folks and

528
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:08.440
I might be thinking about it. I put myself in

529
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:12.039
that position too, you know, what is the next you know?

530
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:15.960
How should I plan? What should I do? What does

531
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:16.599
it look like?

532
00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:19.400
You know? And the only thing I can say right

533
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:23.839
now is just really the strength comes from God for real,

534
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:29.240
because I don't know otherwise. It's it's that is, like

535
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:31.960
a lot of people, a saving grace. And it's very

536
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:36.319
important now, especially when you have faith based leaders, to

537
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:40.759
be in tuned to what your parishioners or people that

538
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:44.519
are coming to seek advice or don't lead them astray,

539
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:48.000
you know, so don't lead them astray, be supportive.

540
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:48.559
You know.

541
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:50.559
I understand praying and stuff like that.

542
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:54.440
It is good, but it's other stuff that comes along

543
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:55.440
with it as well.

544
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:56.240
Amen.

545
00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.279
And I think I'm going to seek guidance.

546
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:00.599
Amen. Amen.

547
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:03.400
And to make a com of a mystic said, we

548
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:06.160
need to teach family to stick together and be there

549
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:09.599
for each other. And yeah, now you know, Mickey, we talked, Misty.

550
00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:12.400
I'm sorry, We've talked about you know, some family dynamics

551
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:13.880
and things and you know, haven't been.

552
00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:15.480
Cool in the family. So we can't pull.

553
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:18.960
Everybody in because you've got still folks with wounds. They

554
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:21.599
have never been healed. So we got to be careful

555
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:23.319
on that. But we need to be sensitive to one

556
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:25.559
another and the needs and everything else.

557
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:29.200
But don't also get fooled by that.

558
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:31.680
Well that's my cousin, So I got to go and

559
00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:33.799
help her or did God say go help her?

560
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:34.640
Did God go?

561
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:36.960
And I know this is a tough one because it's like, well,

562
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:37.680
that's my family.

563
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:38.759
Well, the only thing.

564
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:41.839
With blood that matters to me is Jesus blood that

565
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:44.960
shed that was shed on the cross for me. I

566
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:46.759
was like for some of you are new on here.

567
00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:49.359
I was adopted at birth. I know my biological family

568
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:51.759
and everything, but it didn't make my life any easier.

569
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:54.039
I look like them, thank you for the great hair,

570
00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:55.599
and thank you for the great sense of humor on

571
00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:59.359
both sides, But I don't I. Are they on here

572
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:02.480
a part of my listening group? Are they supportive? Do

573
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:04.759
any of them have my books? Any of the books

574
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:09.720
I've written? Maybe one, maybe one or two. So I'm

575
00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:11.759
not I'm not going against family, all right, but I

576
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:13.759
just want you to be careful on that because especially

577
00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:16.319
if there's been there wounds, they have not been healed,

578
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:20.160
they have not been satisfied, settled. Be careful on that.

579
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:23.000
And I wanted something go ahead ahead.

580
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:28.000
Okay, I want to say to you know, just be

581
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:31.240
mindful of that because not everyone is who you need

582
00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:33.839
to save or who is on your list to be

583
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:34.319
there for.

584
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:34.880
You know.

585
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:40.000
I don't want to say family doesn't mean anything in

586
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:41.599
a way, but again.

587
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:44.880
Family doesn't you know these some some people drag you down.

588
00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:48.000
It's just pray about who you should be there for,

589
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:51.160
and those people will be in your circle. That will

590
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:53.720
be family. You know what I'm saying Again, like my

591
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:57.839
mom said, missus Gray said, to be mindful in the

592
00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:00.759
way of these individuals. You know who way out, you

593
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.039
know who's not on one accord, you know so, and

594
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:06.799
whoever you're responsible for that should be.

595
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:09.279
You know who you're actually responsible for, you.

596
00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:14.599
Know, not sister Shirley, Untie Shirley on here, like, that's

597
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:15.640
not the responsibility.

598
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:17.400
It's worth hurt, you know in a way.

599
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:19.960
So I'm just saying, you know, just be mindful of that,

600
00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:23.000
you know, for everyone in general, to be mindful of

601
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:25.160
We can't. There's no this is not the time to

602
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.839
sit up here and drag everybody along. They're dragging you

603
00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:29.559
down as you're trying to move forward, and you can't

604
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:31.720
even move forward all the way because you're still trying

605
00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:32.640
to bring everybody along.

606
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:34.279
Everybody can't go where you're going.

607
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:37.640
I just want to go ahead, I think, I think

608
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:39.759
pretty much. I was going to say what ms K said.

609
00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:42.920
You know, family looks different and you know different things.

610
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:44.880
I have people, you know, I have family that I

611
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:47.680
can account on, that I can go to. But then

612
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:51.359
I have people that I consider family too, that you know,

613
00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:56.039
I could talk to about things. So but then you

614
00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:01.079
still have to watch where you're you're recognized. Anybody actions

615
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:04.920
people that you consider close. You know, people years ago

616
00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:08.319
they're you know, not biological, but then I call them

617
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:12.359
brother and sister, and I know what they mean to

618
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:13.200
me in my life.

619
00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:13.799
You know.

620
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:17.279
So, But you just have to pick and choose and

621
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:20.359
what you say to blood related or not or.

622
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:27.759
The elder k Missy says, taking care of the family elders, yes, case.

623
00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:30.440
Elder Case says, you can't talk to everybody, even if

624
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:34.519
it's family. And Mickey's came and is saying some friends

625
00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:38.279
become family family. Yeah, most of my family, people I

626
00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:42.799
consider family are friends. Technically there's no blood between us,

627
00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:45.759
and that's family because I know that, you know, they're

628
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:48.880
gonna call me back or they're gonna they'll listen, you know.

629
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:51.000
If I have a text, you know, try to warn people.

630
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:53.519
If I'm texting you, it's not me that God is

631
00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:56.079
telling me, you know. Or I'll say, hey, you were

632
00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:57.920
on my mind, or you ran across my mind, then

633
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:00.319
you ran back across my mind. So I'm reaching out

634
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:02.640
you good, and when I ask you if you're good,

635
00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:05.200
I'm not trying to get in your business. I'm just

636
00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:08.680
checking on you something. Miss Kate said, check on your kids.

637
00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:11.279
Even though they may be making it on a roll,

638
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:14.880
check on your kids. You don't know what they're experiencing

639
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:18.880
those six and a half seven hours on that school campus, five.

640
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:19.440
Days a week.

641
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:22.640
Even the teacher could be bullying them. You've got to

642
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.680
pull them aside, have family meetings and say, okay, everybody

643
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:29.839
all right, everybody good, even my children who are adults,

644
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:32.319
when they come in. You good. I was work. I

645
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:34.799
know my oldest my baby boy's probably tied to me asking,

646
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:37.920
but there's no big deal, no big issue. But I'll say,

647
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:39.720
you know, I was work. Everything good? He said, everything

648
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:40.200
was quiet.

649
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:40.400
Mom.

650
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:42.759
I said, okay, you know what are y'all thinking?

651
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:43.079
All?

652
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:43.680
You're good?

653
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:47.200
You know, last night at our Bible study, the assignment

654
00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:50.640
was for them to identify a testimony of two and

655
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:52.279
find scriptures that support it.

656
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:55.000
And early yesterday.

657
00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:56.799
My oldest son didn't have a testimony. He said, well,

658
00:31:56.839 --> 00:31:59.720
my you don't forgot about it because it'd been mainly

659
00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:04.000
mind it was its situations that he and I incurred.

660
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:06.839
But then I said, then later in the day he

661
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:09.359
had a testimony. I said, you see how God is.

662
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:11.759
You have a testimony. So he went and got the

663
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:14.240
scriptures for it and expounded upon the scriptures.

664
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:16.599
So you need to talk with your children. You got to.

665
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:19.119
I don't care if they look like they're doing good,

666
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:21.519
or they don't have any complaints, or.

667
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:22.519
They don't say anything.

668
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:26.480
Get an updated every day you pick them up or

669
00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:28.920
they come in the house, you drop them off. You

670
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:32.279
get an update from them every day right now, every

671
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:35.720
day right now. You should have been doing it, but

672
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:38.599
you need to do it because you don't know what

673
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:39.640
their day was like.

674
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:40.839
You don't know.

675
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:45.960
Okay. Something Trey said about pastors. If anybody that's a

676
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:49.240
pastor of a physical church, and I don't caay if

677
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:50.920
it's a home church or it's.

678
00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:53.160
A physical building or it's a storefront.

679
00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:56.160
If you say you're the pastor, you need to be

680
00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:58.960
checking on everybody. I should not have to tell you this,

681
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:02.319
but God said I needed to everybody before.

682
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:05.039
You help the folks in the street on the corner.

683
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:08.359
You help your people who are giving their last in

684
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:11.200
the form of tidy or even a dollar in offering,

685
00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:14.960
or they show up every window on Sunday or whenever

686
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:17.759
there's a meeting. You asked every last one. I don't

687
00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:19.720
care what. I don't care if it's Bible study night,

688
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.599
let's shut down. I need to make sure it's everybody okay,

689
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:24.960
and don't be embarrassed because we're family. I don't want

690
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:28.400
nobody going home. They have an empty refrigerator. And you

691
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:31.799
shouldn't know what kind of jobs your parishioners have, so

692
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:33.519
you don't even have to ask that. You could just

693
00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:36.240
call them privately. Hey, sister Johnson, I know you work

694
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:39.000
at the airport. I know now Orlando Airport just did

695
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:43.119
a whole food drive and Tangibles drive for they're TSA workers.

696
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:44.880
But you could sell miss Johnson, I.

697
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:47.359
Know you work at TSA as a TSA, you work

698
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:48.000
at the airport.

699
00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:52.359
You got grocery you good? Is there anything the kids need?

700
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:54.400
You need school supplies.

701
00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:59.319
Every pastor, every pastor, you need to check on your parishioners.

702
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:02.799
You start doing a vagelism in the street before you

703
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:05.759
go to the next networking meeting. You make sure your

704
00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:09.400
people are okay because they are embarrassed. They don't want

705
00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:10.199
the pastor to know.

706
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:11.199
But if you were.

707
00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:13.519
Close to God and you had to give the discernment,

708
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:16.400
you know I could walk in your church right now,

709
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:20.840
invite me. Let's go, Let's go. Invite me to your church.

710
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:23.519
You'll be surprised what we're gonna find out. You should

711
00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:25.480
have food drives in the church. Make sure the church

712
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:27.920
is taking care of persons. Then you get to your people.

713
00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:29.880
Then you get to the people on the street, because

714
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:32.519
then your people are gonna in turn reach back to

715
00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:33.480
help somebody else.

716
00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:35.960
While somebody gave me a whole bag full of grocery.

717
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:37.719
Oh God, but no, I'm gonna give you a two

718
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:41.760
bags of grocery. Okay, okay, because we all got to

719
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:44.639
stand at the gate. We all got to stand at

720
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:47.559
the gate and be accountable. And you don't want to

721
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:49.679
be holding up the gate. Peter talking about well, you

722
00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:54.519
know in October you had three people that were for

723
00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:57.199
the airport and they were about to lose that. They

724
00:34:57.239 --> 00:34:59.440
can't even pay their rent, and they had no grocery,

725
00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:02.480
and they got the six kids a peace. You want

726
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:04.679
us to continue with this? Where do you think you

727
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:08.159
should go? Don't think we won't know. Don't think we

728
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:11.559
won't know. The food banks are over being overran right now.

729
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:14.920
They're giving their last They just did a twenty four

730
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:17.840
hour and forty eight hour dip dip a couple of

731
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:20.800
weeks ago. Some of my commissioners were over there helped

732
00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:23.199
packing those boxes full of food to get them out

733
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:26.519
to their partners as churches and whoever else social service

734
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:29.400
or organizations that they're in partnership with to get into

735
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:32.039
their clients. And they probably was looking at that said God,

736
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:34.559
I could use this who's looking out for them? So

737
00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:37.679
every pastor, you call yourself a pastor, you better check

738
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.960
on your parishioners. Now, make a phone call, do whatever

739
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:44.480
you need to do, because everybody's getting hit. Everybody's getting

740
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:48.320
hit right now because of the uncertainty, because of the

741
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:53.639
fear that's being thrown out there, all the anger, the anger.

742
00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:56.239
Let's go, you say you and I'm talking.

743
00:35:56.280 --> 00:35:58.960
I'm talking to the downhearted Christian vote.

744
00:35:59.079 --> 00:35:59.519
Let's go.

745
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:02.800
How are you making a difference today? I know you're

746
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:04.239
trying to go to point. You leave your house and

747
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:06.360
you go to you make it to your appointment. You're

748
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:07.480
not checking any the.

749
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:08.280
People around you.

750
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:11.199
Our dog trainer would say, keep your head on a

751
00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:14.960
swivel because we're watching our dog and their reaction. I'm

752
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:17.639
watching my baby and her reaction to the other dogs

753
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:20.159
and their handlers. I'm not looking at who's coming today,

754
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:22.320
Who's new to I'm looking at my baby.

755
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:25.079
She's reacting, her ears up, her hair standing up on.

756
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:27.800
Okay, she's in her she's an attack she's an alert

757
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:28.920
attack mode.

758
00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:30.800
Where is she what she's picking up?

759
00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:32.519
So I'm not telling you to go out there and

760
00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:34.639
be everybody. I'm not here to deputize you to be

761
00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:37.000
social workers. I'm not here to do that. So don't

762
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:39.159
get that. Don't let that voice even go there. I

763
00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:42.159
rebuke that. In the name of Jesus, I'm telling you

764
00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:44.760
you just be on alert. And if you remember an

765
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:47.400
active member of a church, you got to put your

766
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:50.039
pastors and leadership in check. When we're gonna have the

767
00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:52.800
food drive. A sister saw so she's she just got

768
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:55.119
she just had a baby. Did anybody go over there

769
00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:58.360
and see about her? She's a sing well, she's a

770
00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:01.119
single mom. Okay, all the more. Let's go over there

771
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:03.320
and see about it. You should have everything she needs,

772
00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:06.480
and don't go empty handed. Don't go empty handed. Take

773
00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:09.639
some you know everybody can a new born can use everything.

774
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:10.679
They're gonna grow.

775
00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:14.239
Make a difference, and don't make it just today, make

776
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:16.840
it for the rest of your life. You make a difference.

777
00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:19.639
Don't put that on anybody else. You make the difference

778
00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:22.519
because it makes you feel good when you've done something

779
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:25.440
for somebody else. Nobody has to know about it, but

780
00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:28.159
you and God know about it. I'm like, whoo, that

781
00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:32.000
was feeling good. My five, six, twelve of y'all that

782
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:33.960
have been with us for a while. And when we

783
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:37.480
do the giving, you know, the feeding the homeless. And

784
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:39.719
in November a couple of years back.

785
00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:41.840
Y'all came up, y'all came through.

786
00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:45.000
And you all reported how good it felt to give

787
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:48.599
to somebody. Y'all reported that you wrote it down. So

788
00:37:48.719 --> 00:37:50.400
that's all I'm saying, let's let's go.

789
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:53.360
Let's go. The time is up now, because we don't

790
00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:56.400
know what tomorrow holds, just like these people.

791
00:37:56.480 --> 00:37:59.000
I mean, I'm telling you that storm last night, the

792
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:00.800
damage that it did.

793
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:05.840
Watch the news. This is crazy. A flash storm.

794
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:09.760
It was like a combination of a small hurricane. You

795
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:11.920
don't know the day of they are and you don't

796
00:38:11.960 --> 00:38:14.440
know when you're gonna be in need. So what our

797
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:16.920
parents used to say to us, how were some of

798
00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:19.480
us raised? Because some of y'all are real young, do

799
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:21.079
unto others as you would have them?

800
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:22.320
What do unto?

801
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:24.760
You make a difference. That's all we ask him. Make

802
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:26.280
a difference. I'm not telling you to go out there

803
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:28.159
and bake a pie. But if you like the baked cakes,

804
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:30.320
if you like the baked dessert, there's no way in

805
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:32.639
the world you're not gonna tell me you ain't trying

806
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:35.440
to get some styrofoam plates from Sam's or BJ's and

807
00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:37.559
just go out there and give somebody some dessert. Get

808
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:40.360
some zip hop bags and a napkin and put it

809
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:43.880
in a in a win Dixie, a Public's bag, and

810
00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:45.920
just go give them a piece of dessert. Come on, now,

811
00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:48.840
you can't tell me you like those of you who

812
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:51.880
like to cook with big pots. You can't dip something

813
00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:53.440
up and say go to the neighbor and say, you

814
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:56.119
know what, I just I got some leftovers, I got

815
00:38:56.119 --> 00:38:57.679
some extra you're hungry.

816
00:38:58.039 --> 00:38:59.000
That's where we are now.

817
00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:02.679
And this time, unfortunately, it's not just a day or

818
00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:05.599
two without electricity. It's not a day or two the

819
00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:09.000
stories are closed. It's not five, three or five months.

820
00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:13.440
We don't lock down. No, this is called the next wave,

821
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:17.920
the next way of life. Check on people, check on them,

822
00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:21.480
anything else you all would like to say, Okay, I

823
00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:23.719
guess my audience is kind of either they logged off

824
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:25.800
or they're like totally quiet. They're like, oh no, we

825
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:29.199
ain't gonna be all yellow. Sorry if y'all left me.

826
00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:31.280
But I'm not sorry. I gotta tell the truth.

827
00:39:33.079 --> 00:39:35.760
I mean, well, I guess you never know how you

828
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:38.159
could impact someone. I think just what you said.

829
00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:41.239
I just had.

830
00:39:41.239 --> 00:39:44.559
It was another day and I was just totally floored.

831
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:48.239
Young lady that was one of my one of our

832
00:39:48.280 --> 00:39:50.440
clients when I worked in Florida. You know how long

833
00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:53.239
I've been, that's been. She found me and she said,

834
00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:55.880
oh my god, miss Trey, is that you? And she

835
00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:58.599
said do you remember me? And I had to kind

836
00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:01.119
of research and I say, yes, I do. She said,

837
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:04.880
I'm glad I found you. Just don't know what impact

838
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:07.440
you made on my life. The truth is what needs

839
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:09.800
to be heard, all right, Messy? She said, you don't

840
00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:11.679
know what you have done for me.

841
00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:13.199
And it was another coworker.

842
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:15.480
I'm not going to share the name because I don't

843
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:17.840
know if they want their name, but said the same thing.

844
00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:20.320
If it wasn't for the two of you all, I

845
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:23.079
don't know where I would be. And I said, wow,

846
00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:27.760
and I remember her and yeah, and she had done well,

847
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:29.519
and I told her I was just so proud of her.

848
00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:31.920
But that was over twenty years.

849
00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:34.159
Thank you, Mickey, Thank you.

850
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:36.119
I got to come up there where y'all at. We

851
00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:37.719
got to do a field trip. I got to see

852
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:40.880
y'all person. So y'all got to come to Orlando and

853
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:44.239
we do a whole big podcast, like you know, just

854
00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:48.719
in the street, in the park parking lot. I got

855
00:40:48.760 --> 00:40:51.280
to come see you guys. But this is what we're

856
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:53.159
this is what's setting it straight. Is all about setting

857
00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:56.840
it straight. You know, you don't have to be bogged down.

858
00:40:57.000 --> 00:40:59.760
God has big enough shoulders to take it off. He

859
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:02.840
expects us to ask. I know that was a hard

860
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:05.360
part of my early early years of my journey. God,

861
00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:07.719
I got myself into this. I cannot come to you

862
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:09.480
and ask you to get me out, and I could.

863
00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:14.199
I was giving scripture after scripture, Yes, bring it to me, unload,

864
00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:17.719
give me the burden. I'll free your hands from the posts.

865
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:20.480
I'll remove your shoulder from the burden. My yolk is easy,

866
00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:22.440
my burden is like, yes, I got this.

867
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:23.480
And guess what.

868
00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:26.280
Then I found out he already knew it was gonna happen.

869
00:41:26.679 --> 00:41:30.159
So now I get proud to say, thank God, even

870
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:34.320
with this, thank God, you chose me. Thank God you

871
00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:36.360
chose me. And I'm a daddy's girl.

872
00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:38.559
You chose me to go through this.

873
00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:41.559
And you knew I was gonna be screaming and crying

874
00:41:41.559 --> 00:41:42.440
and what did you do?

875
00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:43.360
And what's happening?

876
00:41:43.559 --> 00:41:45.559
You knew I was how I was gonna respond, but

877
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:48.880
you still trusted me, and you want me.

878
00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:49.960
Go ahead, Drey.

879
00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:52.679
I heard something that just I had to share it today.

880
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:54.840
I heard it. I was listening to one of the

881
00:41:54.840 --> 00:41:55.880
bishops on YouTube.

882
00:41:56.320 --> 00:41:57.679
Oh and you.

883
00:41:57.679 --> 00:41:59.119
No, it went on YouTube.

884
00:41:59.199 --> 00:41:59.400
It was.

885
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:00.679
It was something another church.

886
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:03.320
I was listening to it yesterday in church service and

887
00:42:03.320 --> 00:42:06.199
the man said, I was appointed by God.

888
00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:09.480
I was appointed. And he said, and if.

889
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:13.760
God appoints you, no one can disappoint you.

890
00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:17.360
And I said, of it, I love it.

891
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:20.400
When he said that, I said, heymen, oh my god,

892
00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:21.840
I love it.

893
00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:23.440
I said, okay, go pastor.

894
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:26.920
You know, so you know you find messages that kind

895
00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:29.079
of uplift you here. I know in the morning this morning,

896
00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:32.119
I wasn't feeling and I just turned a YouTube channel

897
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:34.559
and into this one bishop that I listened to, and

898
00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:35.800
it just was uplifting.

899
00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:36.400
But yesterday.

900
00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:38.639
That was a church service that I called online and

901
00:42:38.679 --> 00:42:39.360
I loved it.

902
00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:40.719
Amen.

903
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:43.800
My niece said, called me last week and she said, Auntie,

904
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:44.639
I just need it.

905
00:42:44.679 --> 00:42:45.239
You know this.

906
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:47.079
I don't know when there's times I just want to

907
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:48.920
be uplifted and sometimes I.

908
00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:50.519
Want to say this was good, thank you other ca.

909
00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:53.400
But it's a great clergy appreciation. Mother, I appreciate you.

910
00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:56.599
Thank you. They I thought folks forgot, you know, I

911
00:42:56.679 --> 00:42:59.320
thought folks, but thank you, thank you.

912
00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:03.239
But and I send her one of my favors.

913
00:43:03.239 --> 00:43:04.960
I I'm gonna say you one of my favorite songs,

914
00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:09.079
and it was my Soul is Anchored. The you know,

915
00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:13.000
the raging that keeps the seeds keeps so raging in

916
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:16.400
my life. And sometimes I can't tell the night from day,

917
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:19.639
but yet I still hold on. Look up, Oh God,

918
00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:22.119
I forgot, but it's called my Soul is Anchored. And

919
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:25.760
think it's name is Douglas. I can't remember. I see

920
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:28.000
his face, but I can't, but look YouTube it but

921
00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:30.519
it's you know, my soul is anchored. And that's my

922
00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:34.000
favorite song. Just to remind me, no, my soul is ancre.

923
00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:37.360
Oh it's gonna toss. The seeds are gonna be rolling,

924
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:41.000
