5:16
Being that this is triggered reactions conquered, we want to go ahead and find
5:23
out what were some of her triggers and how she got to where she is
5:29
on today. Okay, Well, as I was growing up, UM,
5:39
I was raised by my grandparents or my father's parents. And my father was
5:46
a truck driver and he was never a right he would damn but he wasn't
5:49
there. Hey, you can see him physically, but he wasn't involved in
5:54
any activities in my life. My mother, UM, my mother, and
6:00
had decided to have her own relationship, and um I was left with my
6:04
father's my father's parents. So my grandmother raised me from from a child,
6:10
and I dealt with a lot of issues as far as abandonment issues, fatherless,
6:16
motherless issues. Also dealt with low self esteem growing up because I was
6:23
bullied as a kid. I also dealt with sexual abuse. Um I dealt
6:29
with, UM you know that sexual abuse and UM, well I had me
6:39
okay, um sexual they liked me. Okay, that ain't it. That
6:43
ain't happen. UM found that out you know in life, and um I
6:48
just you know, then I went onto the rough side of that. Said.
6:55
So, um, I got married, me and my husband separated,
7:01
and um I had already had a first, a first, I had already
7:05
had a child before I got married. UM, and my you know.
7:11
Um, I'll say it like this. My husband became very abusive, so
7:15
I left him and returned back to Virginia. Um and uh then I started
7:21
getting into the club scene and a friend introduced me to my Oh you know
7:30
what, you want to go to the strip club? I said, oh,
7:32
okay, So I went there and it was kind of it became addictive.
7:39
So I used to be a stripple. I used to be a prostitute.
7:43
I used to be a thief. I used to uh lie still cheek.
7:48
I used to be all those things, right until I had the death
7:55
of my grandmother. My death and my grandmother happened November the fifth or two
8:00
I was eleven, and then my uh that was like so Thanksgiving and Christmas?
8:05
Really when the when, the you know, just wasn't fun for me
8:09
anymore. And then my father he passed away three years later, two weeks
8:16
before my birthday in July fourteenth or two thousand and fourteen. Um. And
8:20
then my mother passed six months later, uh January the fifth, or two
8:26
thousand and fifteen. So, um, I was sitting in mind, I
8:31
was God. God. I say this, when you don't think God working,
8:41
he working, okay, man? When when you don't think God working,
8:45
he working right, So he started up. He started working on me.
8:48
When my grandmother she would placed so she had a heart attack, placed
8:52
on hospice and um, and I had to be her caregiver because my father
8:58
he wasn't emotionally stable to do that. So I'm carrying a caregiver hospice.
9:03
I had a cousin. Asked my cousin, I said, okay, I
9:07
can you teach me how to tach my grandma because she's in the bed,
9:09
she bed ridden in the hospital, bed in the house. So my cousin
9:13
came and taught me. Then I got really interested in becoming a CNA like
9:16
my cousin. So UM then I started did I. After she passed,
9:20
I started taking CNA classes and I got my certification for that. UM.
9:26
Up until my grandmother's death, I was still doing drugs. I was addicted
9:31
to drugs and stuff like that. But um, so God slowly changed me
9:37
to the person I am today. So fast forward, after my mom passed,
9:41
I was sitting at my mom's funeral. Man, I heard a boy
9:45
say to me, it's time for you to write your book. I'm was
9:48
like looking around, let anybody else see that right, So no, God
9:50
said it's sad for you write your book. Soon as I got from my
9:54
mother's funeral, I came home and started writing this book. I'm okay,
10:01
can you tell us a little bit about that book. This book is an
10:05
autobiography, inspirational. It is in chronological order from birth up until the age
10:11
of forty. It tells all the stories. I don't leave out nothing.
10:16
I don't you know, play cadd I don't. Oh, you know we
10:20
wanta play this down? You know, I don't. I don't do that
10:22
in the book. I keep it real in the book. So it chronologically
10:26
tells the life of me from childhood, from birth up until the age of
10:33
forty, until my until those three deaths, until three deaths happened in my
10:37
life. Amen, well, I thank you so much for being as transparent
10:43
as you have been and letting us know that you don't sugarcoat anything, and
10:50
the fact that it's all in the book. I would like to know if
10:54
you would like to share, uh an excerpt from your book. A beat
11:00
be too, darling. I'd be happy too. I wrote this poem.
11:05
It's entitle once upon a Time And Okay. The poem is entitle. Once
11:13
upon a time, it says, once upon a time, I used to
11:16
think that I had to be perfect. Once upon a time, I used
11:22
to think I needed your approval. Once upon a time, I thought that
11:26
I wanted to be in a click. Once upon a time, I thought
11:31
I had to sleep with you to make you like me. Once upon a
11:33
time, I used to have self doubt and insecurities. Now I don't need
11:39
to sleep around, or be perfect, or need your pool or being a
11:43
click to get you to life Jesus, because I have found a man,
11:48
and not just any man, that can please me in every way. I
11:52
found out that I could depend on this man to bring me through. He
12:00
he's a very special man, not like any mortal man. That man's name
12:05
is Jesus. Now that I have accepted Jesus into my life, I have
12:11
no worries, doubts, or feels because I have a savior that can make
12:16
all of that go away. No matter what I'm going through, I know
12:22
that Jesus can and will be in my corner. He'll never leave me nor
12:28
for safety. Knowing that I have a heavenly father that is watching over me
12:35
night and day is the comfort I have now he loves me unconditionally, and
12:41
I can call him in my time of need. Once upon a time,
12:48
I never thought that life would be this great. For this, I say
12:52
thank you God for sending your son Jesus in the place of my sins.
12:58
Thank you, Lord for the courage and the strength you have given me dating
13:05
to rise and to have breath in my body and activity of my limbs.
13:09
And I am in my right mind. Lord, I say thank you for
13:15
all the grace and mercy you have given me when I didn't even have in
13:20
it for myself. Lord, I say thank you for bringing me through the
13:26
valley of the shadow of death. Lord, I say thank you for showing
13:31
me the way to a more peaceful existence. And for this I will give
13:37
you praise in the morning, noon and night. Lord. There are no
13:43
words that could express how grateful I am. Thank you, Lord, in
13:48
the mighty name of Jesus. A men A man. That is a wonderful,
13:54
wonderful poem, and I thank you so much for sharing it with us.
13:58
And I'm comparing and contrasting. Uh. In the beginning, you were
14:05
talking about all these things that separated you from doing the things that God would
14:13
have you to do. Yes. And by the way, the name of
14:16
our topic today is coming to love yourself. Coming to love yourself, so
14:26
truly, inside that point we were able to hear the love of Jesus as
14:33
he has given you the wherewithal and the ability to love yourself. Now,
14:39
I was wondering if if you published that book yourself or did you have someone
14:43
else to publish it. I published it myself. Are you publishing company working
14:54
on? I started off with my company H. Sharich Johnson l l C.
15:01
But I plan on changing the name and becoming becoming a bigger publishing company
15:09
johs not just for my books, but tell other authors with their books as
15:13
well. Amen, Now I see, um LCC. Can you tell us
15:20
what L B M is. LBM stands for my the three most impetant,
15:28
three most important people in my life. L is for my grandmother, WITH
15:33
stands for Lena, the B stands for Brandon, my father's name, and
15:39
M for Margaret, my mother's name. Okay, thank you and um,
15:46
yeah, I understand that you have a podcast as well. Yes, and
15:52
they tell us a little bit about that podcast. Yes, ma'am, I
15:56
started this podcast like two years ago. It's entitled Sharis on some Moors podcasts
16:02
and um it. It can be heard on Spotify, Apple, Google,
16:07
Overcast, UM, Pocketcasts, Radio, Public Verbal, Amazon Music, Audible,
16:18
UM and the list can go and the list goes on UM. During
16:22
the podcast, I have five different segments. I think it's fat was a
16:26
fool, don't I don't know? Tell I got It's called me to keep
16:30
up with. Okay, So I put my money word and worship. Money
16:34
Word and Worship is one of the programs. Let's Talk Sunday is another program.
16:40
UM, Entrepreneurial Corners is another program, and Authors Extra Sunday is another
16:45
program. And then I have daily devotional up there too. Okay, well,
16:49
that's that's a lot. You have truly got your hands full, yes,
16:56
and it's a blessing to be able to juggle all those things and and
17:00
just you know, do what you you are called to do. So I
17:04
thank God for that for you. UM. So you're a gospel artist.
17:11
Let's talk about a little bit about your ministry. Okay, Well, my
17:18
ministry is Sharis Shawnson Moore's ministry where we build hope and it's in it.
17:26
It's God gave me this ministry when I was seven He started this ministry in
17:33
me when I was seven, you know, singing, and I didn't you
17:37
know, you know, singing. You know, you're a kid, and
17:40
you don't take it real serious, you know. But the older I get,
17:45
I see that God gave me a gilt. God all God gives us
17:52
all gifts and talents. Yeah, and I did not value this gilt.
17:56
I didn't value the gilt here I had lost the three right. So my
18:03
ministry, uh, I'll say God has been working that ministry in me since
18:08
I was seven. But now, um, I have my own ministry.
18:14
I'm a UM, it's not official, but I'm trying. I'm going to
18:18
make it official because I'm waiting on this paperwork to come back. But it's
18:22
five oh through five oh C three, so I can, you know,
18:26
have it legally, you know. Um. But you know, and then
18:30
I I do my morning word and worship, you know, my ministry of
18:36
giving the word, you know. Um. I have a bachelor's degree in
18:38
ministry. So um. And that was another thing I God placed in my
18:45
heart to do. Um. And if it had not been for COVID,
18:49
I'd probably still been going to class man. Um. That was that was
18:56
uh, that was something that that's something I miss my class and we haven't
19:00

25:44
But I thank you so much for that wonderful song that is Whitney Houston song.
25:49
But you turned it into something amazing, something spiritual, something that you
25:56
can feel. And I'm very, very grateful and thankful for your wonderful voice.
26:02
I thank you for sharing what God gave you as his gift to us.
26:07
I just I'm I'm done. I'm just like I just just pull his
26:12
wig off and just throw it in a song. I heard you say,
26:19
I look to you when all is said and done, I look to you.
26:30
So in us looking to God and looking to Jesus, he comes inside
26:37
of our life and he changes us one perspect one thing about Christian folks,
26:45
people that are seeking the Lord for guidance, and people that proclaim to be
26:51
believers of Jesus Christ. A lot of times our people have a hard time
26:59
with forgiveness. M So, being that you are a minister, I know
27:04
that one of your most favorite things to minister about is forgiveness. So can
27:11
you share that with our audience. Okay, y'all's gonna take a dream and
27:18
after that, look, I'm gonna tell you one too. I know what
27:25
they saying that. I know they say, who were drinking our air?
27:26
But inchy Way, who you sound so good, was drying? Amen?
27:37
Ohn, Um, forgiveness is it is saying it. It is saying forgiveness
27:49
means you forgive that person in your spirit, heart and soul. Right,
27:56
yes, But we also had a choice, Uh, if we're gonna hang
28:02
on to that being mad at a person for something they did to us,
28:06
or we're gonna hold a grudge, or we're gonna are we gonna you know?
28:10
But um, I give him this experience, right McGee, this experience.
28:15
I experienced this myself. So I talked about this experience of showing my
28:23
cousin that had a sexually sexually abused me. One day, I think it
28:30
was shortly after their grandmother had passed, and they they came to the house
28:37
and asked me, um, you know I knew it was wrong what I
28:42
did to you. He said, I want to talk to you. I
28:45
said, okay, you know, I ain't think another. So he says,
28:48
he comes out and says, I don't. I want to say I'm
28:52
sorry. I was like, good, he said what he said, I'm
28:56
sorry. I'm asking for your forgiveness of me abusing you when you was younger.
29:03
I'm asking I'm coming to you an apology. He said, he was
29:07
sorry, And I was like, you know what, I forgave you a
29:12
long time ago. I can gave you a long time ago. You know,
29:18
you don't gotta you know, you you don't have to worry about me,
29:19
you being mad, having a gloode about it, or nothing like that,
29:22
because what I had learned, what I had learned, if you hold
29:27
onto that pain that the person, but that that art, that art that
29:32
they did to you, you're not forgiving the person forgiven. That forgiveness means
29:37
completely let him go. Taking that, taking that apology, okay, you
29:44
know, take it in. You know thriving and for a minute, and
29:48
you know, and and and and and give it to the Lord and say
29:52
Lord, you know, you know we should take everything to God. And
29:56
man um that oh, for that moment that he came to to apologize,
30:03
that shocked me. It shocked me, But it didn't shot me to the
30:08
point that I I was cool, calm, collected about it. I ain't
30:14
even no attitude. Um. I didn't get nasty with him. Um.
30:18
I just took it gracefully. Sometimes when people come to you and they you
30:26
know, they come to you, handle things with grace like God handle us.
30:30
You know, we ain't perfect. Ain't nobody perfect of Hell but Jesus.
30:34
Okay, so you know, and we can't cast no stones that were
30:38
living in a glasshouse. So you take it with grace, and you take
30:45
it and you hold your head up high and don't let that situation or don't
30:55
let that situation or whatever the case, whatever was brought was brought to your
31:02
table or ducked off on you affect you for the rest of your life.
31:07
Because what he had, what he had done to me, affected me the
31:11
rest of my life, because I became from mystery is you know, it
31:15
affected my life in that way. But then, um, I just that
31:22
wasn't mean after a while, that's not me. I don't want to do
31:26
that no more. It isn't it, you know, any important, you
31:30
know? And now I wish I had waited until I got murdered and had
31:33
you know, have relations, you know. But but forgiveness is a thing
31:37
that you have to take with grace and mercy and show other people grace and
31:42
mercy like God show us. Yeah, we when we walk around with all
31:49
that pain and all that hurt and all those things that people when we walk
31:59
around like that, Oh my god, it's like a whole. It's like
32:06
a whole lugg it's set on the on your back. And that's the one
32:10
thing that we should never we should we should we should forgive those that trest
32:15
pass against us. And it might be kind of hard, it might be
32:21
kind of hard, but discussing with God and He'll leave you in the right
32:24
direction when it comes to coming into situation that have happened in your life.
32:29
You know, Um I had I had to forgive my mom for not being
32:35
in my mom and my mother and my father for not being in for me.
32:38
How did forgive a lot of people, and I had to forgive myself
32:43
and myself, and I said, why am I holding on to this pain
32:46
that they passed on me? For generational generational pain? Why am I holding
32:52
on to that? Because what I did, I passed my pain onto my
32:54
kids. Right. My thing is when you when you, when you,
33:00
when you, when you have that when you have seeked or someone has asked
33:07
for forgiveness from you, that gives you a whole new perspective about forgiveness,
33:13
especially when the person come to apologize. So, and I'm gonna say this,
33:17
I've had to apologize to a lot of people, I know. I
33:21
mean, you know, my children, my you know, relatives because things
33:25
like that, I've had to I've had to apologize myself to the individuals,
33:30
you know, because that's what God asked me to do. Yes, I
33:35
had to be obedient. Okay. And one thing I would like to share
33:39
about about forgiveness, Well, we know that Jesus Christ died on the cross
33:45
for our sins and we were so filthy and so dirty and so stinky that
33:52
he had to be um alamed, that was flamed without spot or without blemish.
34:00
And if he can forgive us for the things that we have done,
34:04
then we have to forgive other people. We have to go to God with
34:07
a forgiving heart before we can even go to him in prayer if we want
34:13
him to receive our our prayer man. A lot of times people, uh,
34:20
they they they forgive and they still hold onto it is not a good
34:27
thing because when you holding onto it, you still stuck in the past.
34:30
That person going on about their business about their business and were holding you were
34:39
holding the band because we're still mad and angry. But one thing about it,
34:44
the forgiveness. When you couldgive somebody, if not for them, it's
34:50
for you so that you can be in right standing with God. So we
34:54
thank God that he gave us an opportunity in a way to learn about forgiveness
35:01
through him dying on the cross and him crucified, and it gives us the
35:06
opportunity to know that that he was that precious and he was that forgiving that
35:13
we should also be willing and able to forgive those who have wronged us.
35:20
And with that being said, um Miss Sharife, Yeah, I would like
35:25
to know if there was anything that you would leave our listeners, what would
35:30
that be? Love yourselves? Yes, love love yourself. You know,
35:40
even if that means walking away from someone that you know not treating me right.
35:46
You don't kept blinders on for them. You kept blinders on for them,
35:51
and uh you you know you you know how the horses in the stall
35:55
he got the blinds. You just looking straight ahead like like oh that person
36:00
like oh here, you know, you know, and then the gate and
36:02
you run out and then somebody suck upon you and you see that. Okay,
36:08
run, I prefer that to as abuse. Imorn. You know that
36:14
you're knowing the science, the red flags that you know this relationship don't feel
36:19
right on the inside or love yourself enough to know when to walk away.
36:22
Yes, we have to know our worth, yeah, because it is very
36:28
important. If you don't love ourselves and people will walk all over us.
36:32
We have boundaries and may people know, hey, don't cross danger danger,
36:39
Not that you're gonna do anything to them, but they have to know that
36:43
they need to tread lightly around your space. So I would like for you
