  Speaker 1: H and welcome to Believe in the Journey podcast. Listen.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I am stepping in tonight for my podcast sister, Ms.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Patrice Gremboro. She is out in the cold with the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: with their daughter doing the Christmas parade, So y'all pray
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: for them while they're out there, giving some holiday cheer
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to each and every person that is out there bearing
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the colds. Because I can't do it. She is much
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: better than me, and I'm so glad my kids are
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: older now that I don't have to be at the parade,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: but I do got some grants. But anyway, thank you
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: guys for tuning in tonight. I'm not gonna be before
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: you long, I promise you. I am a little under
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the weather of myself, but God willing and God provides
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the strength that I need. So if you hear me
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: barking like a little dog, it's just a call, so
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: excuse that. Okay, all right, But before we do anything,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go to God in prayer, and then we're
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: gonna talk to my big sister and mentor, Miss Angela Smith,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna see what she's been up to besides
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: helping us be the greatest that we are. All right,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Dear heavenly Father, thank you for bringing us together as
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you do each and every night, as we come before you.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Let the words of my mouth be humbling to the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: ears that need to hear, and let anything that I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: say touch them in the way that you see fit.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I love you, and I adore you, and I thank
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you for everything that you have done for me and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: my family, keeping us safe and protected, and keeping the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: ones that are connected to us, providing the strength and
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: everything that they need to get through each and everything
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: that they are facing. Because there is nothing that you
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: don't know that we're going through that you cannot handle.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So we just need to take our hands off of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it and leave it in your hands, because only you
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: can do what you can do in your precious and
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: holy name Jesus, I pray amen. Excuse me, y'all. That's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the little dog that I keep telling y'all it's gonna
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: be barking, so but please come on up. Queen sister,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Oh girl, hey, how are you?
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I'm good?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: You laughing at me talking about my little doggie. This
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: coffee guy sounds like a dog. I swear it does
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: this cough. I swear has been kicking my butt for
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: about a week, and I've gone to the doctor that
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: gave me some cough medicine. I couldn't take that cough
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: medicine and do the show tonight because I'd be somewhere
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: in the corner sweep. So I made sure that I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: did not take that, but I took the other one,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: so hopefully it won't ruin the show tonight. But I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: don't really have a topic of discussion tonight, but I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: do want to talk briefly about grief during the holidays,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: because you know, a lot of us have lost loved
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: ones this year and even last year, and going through
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the holidays is a tough time because you're missing those
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: loved ones in a way that is a little different,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: but you want to remember them. And I'm missing my
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: mom today. Something happened earlier today, and my mom loved
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to be outside. She loved to be outside during the cold.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And I was coming back in the house and I
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: thought I closed the door all the way, but as
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: soon as I got halfway through the living room, the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: door swung back open, and I'm like, okay, look here, Maa,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: today is not the day. It's too cold for me
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to be in this air so we're gonna close this dough.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going over here and sit down, but I'll open
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the window for you. But we're not doing this. But
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I was also in the car and it's a conversation
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that I recorded with my mama, And as I was
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: listening to my music, her voice came on and I'm like, Okay,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: what is it that you're trying to tell me today?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Because you have really been on me. So I think
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: grief during the holidays is one of the toughest times.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: How do you feel about that?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Wow, and that you pick a topic like that for today.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Today it's actually my cousin's birthday. He's been gone I
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: think two three years now. He was like my big brother.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: He was like my first cousin. I remember the last
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: time I saw him here in Atlantah.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: We were out at the park. We always did the
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: part thing.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: People always said that either they thought we were boyfriend
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: and girlfriend or either they thought we were siblings. Those
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: are the two things that we often got confused as.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: So today was one of those days. And this month
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: alone is its rough for me because my mom's birthday
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: was December the fourth, m HM, and and it just
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: be hard.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: But I thank God for his word. I thank him because.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: I look back over, you know, growing up and how
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: my mom made sure that I was rooted and grounded
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: in the word. You know, even if she didn't go
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: to church, she would send me to church. And it's
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: like my mom was preparing me for those days that
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: she was not.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Going to be here.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Because oft the time, I remember conversations that she and
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I would have and I would be like, why are
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: we having conversations like this? You know, I was like
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: nine ten eleven. Remind you, I lost my mom twelve
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: days after my sixteenth birthday. So at nine ten and eleven,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: we having these conversations that you know, I'm like, Okay,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: a lot of this was going over my head. But
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: now that I look back, I thank God that he
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: prepared my mom enough to prayer me for those days
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: that she would not be here. So having those memories,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: having those things that you know, I can carry on.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: You know, oftentimes God would drop things in my spirit
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: through a book and it would be something that my
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: mom shared with me, and I'm able to share that
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: with somebody. You know, it's keeping those memories alive in
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: those things. I was telling Shannette because oftentimes Seanette and
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I often talk about grief because you know, she lost
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: her son. Yeah, I've been around a lot of people
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: that have lost loved ones, and I thank God for
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: our prayer line because that hasn't really been a strength,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: a source of strength for us to be able to
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: go on and lift each other up and just call
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: out each other names and just know that we have
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: someone else that's going through similar things. So that that's
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: that's how I deal.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I work. I keep pressing.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I try to remember the good times, and I try
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: to create, you know, stuff that will keep that memory alive.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Like my brother just passed the twenty second of this month,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: would be sixty days. You know, his birthday was October
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: the eighth, and I wanted to keep his memory alive.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: So I did a magazine. I honored him in a magazine.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: I honored him inside a book that I published. So
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: it's ways that can keep their memory alive. Because we
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: also have to remember the word, and we also have
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: to understand that energy and spirit never dies, that our
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: loved ones are still here. They may not be here physically,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: we may not be able to physically touch them, be
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: able to physically hear them, but they still communicate to us.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: They still oh so much alive and we have to
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: keep those memories alive. So, Trevita, I know you lost
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: your mom and that was my friend, that was my
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: purple lip friend.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: What are some of.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: The things that you have done to how to keep
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: her memory alive? Because I tell you, she impact our
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: lives so much in such a short time. You know,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: you would think that she had been a part of
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: my life for a while, and I thank God for
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: the time that we did have with her. So if
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: you would share a little bit about my friend, Afridia, Well.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: One thing I can say that I do to keep
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: my mom's memory alive, and that is her silliness, her laughter.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: It was very contagious because you know my mom, she
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: was definitely she would find a way to joke, even
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: in the serious of moments and I'm like, ma, we're
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: supposed to be being serious right now. And her favorite
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: thing to say an excuse the language, but her favorite
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: thing to say was always anytime I was feeling down
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: or whatever, and she would say, well, you know, shit happens,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, Mama, I do, I know it does.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: So whenever I'm feeling, you know, overwhelmed with anything that
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I can't handle. I always refer back to that and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: be like, yeah, okay, this is this is one of
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: those moments where it happens and I just have to
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: go with the flow. But I, like you were saying
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: about how our moms were teaching us things before we
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: realized what they were teaching us. And I didn't realize
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: my mom was teaching me a lot about life without
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: her and how to live without her, long before I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: realized I was gonna have to actually do that, because
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: as a little girl, it was always, you know, I
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: would have her for a good three to six months,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and then she disappeared, and then she'd come back, and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: then I would have her again for the same amount
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: of time. And then as I got older and she
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: moved in with me and my kids fathered my ex
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: husband now and she would live with us, and my
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: kids got used to her, and so on and so forth.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: And my mom. I'm a little upset with her for
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: one little thing though, and that is she took that
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: fry chicken recipe with her to the grave. She did
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: not share that chicken recipe, and even my daughter tried
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: to get it out of her, and she was like, no,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not telling y'all what my recipe is. And so
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: it's a story of her and my youngest son. You know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I deal with kyr my information and my mom had
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: had a stroke in twenty fourteen.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: And.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I was, you know, trying to take care of her
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and take care of my son and take care of
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: myself at the same time. And so my mom was like, Okay,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: you're tired, go lay down, Go take you a nap.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, well you and Nathan don't do
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: anything while I'm going to take me a nap. Well,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I'm in there taking a nap. I smell potatoes and onions.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: So I get up, and I'm Nathan is probably about
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: nine or ten at this time, and I'm like, why
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: am I smelling potatoes and onions? So I get up.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: My mom had finally gotten enough strength to where she
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: could use her left side because the stroke had done
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a number on her right side, which was my mom's dominance.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: So she had got herself to the kitchen to peel
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: these potatoes and slice these onions. And my son is
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: standing beside her, and they looking at me like I'm
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: in the wrong spot, and I'm like, what are y'all doing?
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: And they're like, well, we fixing some potatoes and onions.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, but who cut the potatoes? And
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: my son looking at my mama and I'm like, don't
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: look at her, and he looking at and she looking
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: at him, and she like, don't say nothing. Don't say nothing.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, who did it? And they're like, well, okay, collectively,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: we got it done. And you supposed to be taking
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a nap. I said, I was taking a nap, but
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you two in the kitchen doing something you not supposed
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to be doing. What are y'all doing? Just go back
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: and lay down. So, needless to say, them two could
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: not be trusted alone. And that's one of the things
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that even before my mom left and everything, her and
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Nathan would have a conversation about me. They would always
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: get together and say, okay, well, you know your mama
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: don't listen, or you know your daughter, don't listen. And
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm right here. I hear both of y'all
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: talking about me. They're like, yeah, we know you just
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: don't you hot headed, you don't listen. So that's one
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: way that I really and truly keep my mom's memory
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: alive because my son is always he's like, you know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Granny wouldn't like you over here doing all his waning
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: in crime. But if you need to get it out,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: you get it out. But she gonna tell you shut
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: it up. So but one other thing I can say
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: that I have that is coming up. I am writing
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: a book in in memory of my mom and it
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: is called From Fracture to Fulfilled The Healing Journey with
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: my Mom, and it will be released on her birthday,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: which is July the fifth. So I'm going to to
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: honor her in that And when I tell you, it's
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: taken me back. So that's one of the things that
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: you know, you don't realize how many memories you have
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: of a person until you're going through and you're writing
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: those things down. And a lot of those things were
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: not very good things. But at the same time it
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: helps me to heal even more in places where I
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: thought I had healed. You know, but my Mama was
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: a riot. If you met her, you would fall in
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: love with her. She did not meet a stranger in
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: any capacity. That lady is just something else. She did
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: not mean no stranger.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: I tell you, I remember we were just season one
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: of the Crew podcast, and yeah, we were training.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: We would on training and we were meeting.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: And when I tell you, she would come on and
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: y'all know how I'd like to sometime I like to
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: be off screen because ain't no, oh no, she was
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: not having that.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: If if if, if I came in.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Her presence to see like she wanted to see the
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: purple lips, that that that was my purple lip friend again, Terreta,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I thank you for sharing her with us, because you
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: didn't have to you you shared her with us. She
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: got an opportunity to not just come on and support you,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: but she got opportunity to host her own show and
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: to be her own voice. And that's something that we're
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: gonna have and cherish forever because it's archives and we're
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: gonna be able to have that, and that is a
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: memory that can never be taken away. So I'm just
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: so glad that I have that memory and was able
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: to be a part of that. I tell you, those
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: those evenings on that podcast with her was was amazing.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: You know, even those journeys when she's going out to
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: the to the little shed, little thing when she go
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: out and sit up.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Under the little.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Even the phone calls, the phone calls that I was
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: able to have with her, you know.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: It just it impacts.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: So you know, I thank God for the time with her,

  Speaker 1: to be. And she's like, come on, we got to
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: do them faces, put the face on them. I'm okay, Mama,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: we're gonna put the face on there. We're gonna do that.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: But that lady, she she loved to laugh, She loved
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: to be silly. There was never a moment where she
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: wasn't being silly at all. And I'm like, mam, we're
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: supposed to be, you know, wanting and crying, you know,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: because this is the situation she's talking about, child a.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Nobody gotta time to be doing all that. I can
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: cry later. And I'm like, you're absolutely right. So I'm
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: gonna cry when you go to sleep though, you know,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and do that when you're sleeping.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: And so she was like, I'm gonna hear you anyway,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: so you might as well just gonna let your little
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: tears out. Why I can see you, all right, I'm
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: gonna let them out. But you ain't gonna be telling
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: me to be quiet neither. I'm gonna get my tears
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: in my brother came to visit one time, and this
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: was the week that she passed, and my brother was
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: in there trying to sing and uh she she looked up.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: She was sleeping now, so he over there trying to sing.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: My mama look though. She said, uh uh, who sing
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: that song? And he told her, he said, okay, let
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: him do it, because that ain't it. I said that
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: that's not nice. She took about, uh uh, that that's
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: not it. I said, well, you don't never tell me
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: to be quiet. She talk about because you on the right. No,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know what he's singing, and that's that's not it.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I said, Okay, all right, I said, I said, mama, Mama,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: say be quiet. Mama, say let him sing the song.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: She said, because you're not doing it right.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: And that's sound like the good sense of version.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And that was.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Why she let them Let whoever have that song.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know, she always got some exploratives in there,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: some sentence enhances. She would always have a couple of those.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: And I'm telling you, every time I look at that
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: replay that that video of her, I laugh, like she
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: is so funny, Like I'm so glad that we were
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: able to capture that, and that's what I tell people.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: It is so important to capture memory.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Yep, I can tell you before her show, you know,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: she did her show on telepathy, I will tell you.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you the behind the scenes of this,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: because I don't know if I ever told you what
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: happened behind the scenes, okay, because you know, we asked
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: her she wanted to do her show live, and she
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: was like, she wanted to do it live. She didn't
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: want to do a pre recorded So I got up
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: there early. I had done her hair the night before.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: It didn't turn out how I wanted it to turn out,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: so she was a little salty about that. But it
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: was about five o'clock and she was in a lot
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: of pain, and I was like, well, mom, we can
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: you know, postpone your show or we can you know,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: just go ahead and record it now. Well, we'll see
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: how I feel in a little while. What time you
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: say it started? I said at eight o'clock. Okay, I'll
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: let you know then okay, five. So she had she
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: could only wear one ear ring, so I had to
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: put her ear ring in, and then she had to
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: have her lipstick on, so I put her lipstick on
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and everything, and we get ready for the show and
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, well y'all, please don't let
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: my mama go off script. Let her, you know, do
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: what she needed to do, because my mom can go
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: left real quick. And I'm like, let let's let's I
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: think she got it. I don't know. And then the
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: topic that she wanted to talk about was one that
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I wasn't quite familiar with and everything, and so she
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: surprised me, she really did. She surprised me with the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: knowledge that she had about telepathy and how it worked
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and all of that. But as soon as that show
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: went off, she said, all right, take this shit off me.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: And I'm like what And she was like, I.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Said, you the one wanted this ear ring on and
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: this lipstick she's talking about. Yeah, the show is over.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Take the shit off, yes, ma'am.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: So I had to.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Take her earring off, take her lipstick off, and she
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: laid down in the bed. She said, okay, all right,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: now you got to get home because it's dark outside
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and I need you to get home safe. Yes, ma'am,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: she said, So you go here and give me my kiss,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: and you go on here and get home, and you
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: call me when you get home so you can get
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: your butt in that bed. So I'm like, lord, I said,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: you the one wanted this lipstick and this earring on,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and now you fussing at me to harry up and
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: take it out. She's talking about you had the camera off.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Now we're good, we ain gonna take this out. So
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: that's what happened. As soon as that Carara went out
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: and I lolled out. She was ready to take that off.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: But you would have never known that she was in
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of pain because she didn't proceed to show
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: any of that at all. So that's where I get
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: my strength and everything from with that lady right there.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: She was one of a kind.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: I tell you, this life is full of lessons. This
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: journey and everything there's a lesson. And yeah, I tell
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: you found out where you get your strength from.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: You found out a.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Lot of different things. And your mother's transitioning. Yeah, you
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: learnd out. You learned a lot that you did not know.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Like a lot of us don't get that opportunity, like
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: I didn't get the opportunity with my brother.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Like you know how sometimes you just think that you're
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: gonna have a little longer. Yeah, just gonna have longer.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: And that was that.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: That was my case with my brother, you know, my
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: oldest brother. I was I was okay with his transitioning
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: because my brother was a quadriplegic and he paralyzed for
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: over twenty years. And that journey, you know, and I
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: knew what that had been like, So that one was
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: different for me. Every loss that I've had has been different,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: you know, and people ask how do And I look
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: back now, I see how I spent from I got
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: it from my mom because I every time my mom
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: was sick, I didn't know she was sick, you know,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: I thought that, you know.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: She was going on a trip.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: You know, my mom had lupus and she suffered bad
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: and I didn't know, you know, I didn't know that
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: my mom almost lost her own life when she gave
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: birth to me.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: I didn't know, like in losing my mom, about my
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: own journey, you know, and.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: You know, I didn't know, you know, all the things
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: that my mom had suffered through. So, you know, being
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: able to spend time with her and being there with
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: her and that journey, you know, I thank God for
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: my pe teacher because my pe teacher, she she saw
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: something in me and put me on the basketball team.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: And this same lady was in place when my mom transitioned.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: This lady would drive her own personal car to the
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: games so that after the game she could drive me
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: to the hospital to be with my mom. You don't
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: find people like that. Like God knows what you need,
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: when you need it, and how you need it, Like
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: he knew that I was gonna need that lady in
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: my life. But I never thought I was who me
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: played basketball, was gonna be playing on basketball girl, all
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: my friend, my.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Cousin, everybody here was going out.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: They tried out for the basketball team, and my pea
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: teacher was like, you need to play basketball.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: She put me on the JV team.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Every time I touched the ball, they would blow the whistle.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: That's how much I knew about basketball. Like when I
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: tell people now that CP three is my cousin, they
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: be like, who CP three your cousin.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: See, his great grandmother and my great grandfather are brothers
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: and sisters, so that make us cousins. So when I
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: tell people that, they be like, and you couldn't dribble
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: back then?
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: No, I couldn't.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: I never thought I was playing basketball never, But that
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: lady said something in me. Monica Denise Davis saw something
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: in me. She had the JV coach put me on
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: the JV team. After JV season, I moved to varsity. Yeah,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: she moved me to varsity my ninth grade year.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Y'all, I was starting. That lady saw something in me.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: I think it out exactly.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: That's why when when when y'all be like, that's where
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: I get that from. Because that lady instilled so much
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: in me, and now I can't help but see the
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: gifts and the talents within people and I wanting to
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: be wanting to pull them out. Sometimes may seem like
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: I may be overbearing if I see something in you.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: And I don't like for people to take advantage of people.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: That's one of my one of my things. I don't
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I will, man, I'm telling you, I'll go
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: to bed for that. Definitely, you will, because I know
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: I don't like for people to take advantage of people.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: I don't like for I just don't like that. I
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: believe that, you know, God has given us all guests
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: and talents.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, you have really stretched us beyond what we
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: even thought was possible for ourselves you know, I met
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: you almost three years ago now doing the virtual monologue
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: the Mask Behind the Mask.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: And almost almost four years now, because yeah, Cheryl was
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: a part of that.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: And I remember when she got diagnosed with breast cancer.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: She yeah, so and the.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Part that she played, Oh my gosh, you don't understand
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: like that that play has so many significant things in
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: it just from me playing the part that I played.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you know.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: There was another person that was supposed to play that part,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: MSUs Motivation, and the part that I had was playing
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: basically like a mean girl or whatever to Melody's Melanie's character,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: and I prayed. I was like, God, I'm not even
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: in that space in my life to be mean to anybody.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: So this character of being mean to somebody is not
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: sitting well with me, and I'm not sure how I
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: can do that. And so next thing I know, Sheena
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: she sends me a message and asks if I would
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: play the part of MSUs Motivation because the lady who
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: was doing it had dropped out, And I was like, okay,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: that seems more of my speech. And then also that
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: part did not have any need speaking parts in it
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: at all, So I was like okay. And so then
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: when we were doing the rehearsal, they were like, you're
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: gonna have to come up with something that's gonna make
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: your part last for the five minutes that it needs to.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, lord, it didn't have any speaking part,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: so now I got to speak, I got to say
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: something I got I don't know what to do, and
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: so I'm like, I prayed about it. I prayed that
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I couldn't be a mean girl. And then it's like, okay,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: well you prayed that you couldn't be a mean girl,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: so now you got another part because I answered the prayer.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: But I said, okay, yeah, God, you did answer the prayer.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: But now you got me talking, and I wasn't playing
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: on talking. But this does fit my personality of being
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: a motivator to motivate people into doing so. But okay,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: all right, now I got to figure this out.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: So and then we all had to play mean girl,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: because yeah, we all had to go in and and
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: do different little parts of being me.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, the little voice part, like who she is? Why
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: she got that makeup on?
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: It was like okay, so it pulls something out, but
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: it wasn't as bad as you know, because I'm like,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: that's all it is. And I'm like, God, I'm not
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: even in that space to be that to anybody, because
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: I know what that feels like. And I was like,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not in that space no more. So God definitely
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: will put you in places and positions to where he's
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: gonna utilize the talents that you have to help bring
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: you to where he wants you to be. And me,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: oh lord, I'm still that little shy girl in the back,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: sometimes not as much as I used to be. So
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: it's like I'm getting out of that that little comfort
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: zone that I call my my safety net of being
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: in the back, but being more in the forefront because
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: nobody believes that I'm shy anyway. So it's just one
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: of those things. It's like a thing that I say
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: to myself and everybody's like, yeah, shy, wear win how
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: because it's not possible for you to be shy. I'm like,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: my mama, I don't meet a stranger either, and people
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: come up and tell me their stories. At the grocery store.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I might just be speaking and passing and here go
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: somebody telling me what they've been through and what they've
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: been going through and I always have a positive word,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: you know, because God. I know where God has brought
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: me from and what he does happen every day, and
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: so I think that's mostly what people see when they're
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: able to come to me. They find a sense of safety.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna glorify God and everything that I do
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: because if it was not for him, I would not
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: be where I'm at, you know, because I could be
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: dead and gone a long time ago because God man
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: had counted me out after I had my stroke, not
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: once but twice.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: They man counted me out, but God said, you still
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: got work to do. So I'm gonna need you to
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: get this together because I lost my speech, you know,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I couldn't talk, and I prayed and I asked God.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I said, I don't know because Man keeps telling me
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: there's nothing that's going on. But you and I both
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: know that I'm not able to speak and I'm not
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: able to do what it is that I need to do.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: So you got to help me. And He helped me
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: get my speech back, you know, And so I don't
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: have that deficit, you know, of not being able to speak,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: and so I utilized my voice to magnify him, and
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: anybody who's listening knows that I know God on a
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: personal level. So I know some days he'd be like,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: look here, you don't talk to me enough. I don't
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: need to talk to you know more, they talk to
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: me tomorrow, call me tomorrow, because right now you're on
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: hold because you don't call me too much. To that, yeah,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: I'm like, but I got some more questions. Ye, same
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: to tomorrow. Talk to you tomorrow, good night, have a
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: good night.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: But when you know, relationship, and people got to understand that,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: they got to have that relationship so that they can communicate,
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: because it's all about communications, you know. That is one
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: of the most the most areas where we lack is
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: communication in any level. Like people, so they so caught
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: up on religion, but it's not about religion. It's about relationship,
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: you know, because he won't his time exactly the people
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: we we we just don't understand a lot of us, really,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: like we really truly don't understand how blessed we are
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: and how how much the enemy, not not just the devil,
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: because if the devil didn't get kicked out by hisself,
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: remember why he.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Got kicked out. One third of heaven went with him
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: with him. So guess what them same one third is
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: walking around.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Here, them same de money devils walking around him too,
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: mad too, because they wanted to know why they mess up?
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Why they why why did he mess up one time
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: and get kicked out? Uh huh.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: He keep giving us infinity. He kept giving us chance
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: after chance. He don't give us a second chance. He
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: you know, some of us want that second chance off
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: one hundred.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Thousand times ago. Exactly, we want that out.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: He keep giving us another chance. Why because he want
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: to see us and see He want to see us thriving.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: He want to see us walking in that that he
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: have already preordained for us. It's no coincident. That's why
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: he's telling people. There's no accident. There's no co incident,
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: no soir, no hap from stance, no, none of them.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Even the stuff that we think that come is coming
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: against us, it's not that it's coming against us. Sometimes
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: we got to go through something in order for us
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: to be able to tell somebody. If you don't have
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: a test how can you give a testimony?
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Exactly, you can't.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: It don't come to break you, like I keep telling people,
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: like girl, when I tell you. I was telling you
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: before we went live, I downloading stuff in my spirit
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: like they were fire, that were flame, like people don't
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: understand what.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Those words truly mean.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: And like that flame that's on the inside of us
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: when he breathed that breath of life into us Genesis
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: two and seven.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Now he breathed the breath of life into us.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: And that's true.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: We don't need we don't need alarm clock, we don't
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: need CPR, we don't need I.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Woke us up this morning. He woke up with a purpose.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: I was going to interview not too long ago, and
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: I had to use my GPS. And this is one thing,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: and this is what I was telling one of the
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: people after I finished going through, I was going to
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: look at a house also, and I was telling the lady.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know, we get to I've lived
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: in Spartanburg my whole life. But I got to use GPS,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: I said. But as I was doing the GPS and
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: getting to my destination, I was you always think about
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: the GPS signal doesn't know exactly that the traffic conditions.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: It just knows how to get you from point A
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: to point B. And you may know a shortcut around
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: the way that the GPS is taking you if you're
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: familiar with the area and what you're going. But what
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: God was telling me in that moment is that I'm
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: your GPS, and no matter where you're going in this life,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: you may want to and you may even reroute to
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: go another way, but you're always gonna come back to
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: the will in which I have for you. Anyway, you
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: just gonna get lost because you gonna re route yourself.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: But my will is always gonna be there, because you
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: gonna come back to the direction in which I have
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: for you. So you may shame if you want to.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: And I was like, God, you know what, I didn't
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: go the way that I was gonna go, but I
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: paid attention to the GPS that day and I didn't
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: go off course. And I was like, as long as
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: I stay on the course that you have for me,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: I will always be guided by God's direction. So your
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: service for me is always gonna be where you want
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: me to be and when you want me to be
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: that And I say all the time, yeah, it is
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: no coincidence. It's always by God's design. The path in
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: which he has for us is always gonna be that path.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: It may take a detour here and there, but as
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: long as we are focused on what God is intended
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: for us to do, we will never be off track.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: We will never lose the course because God's destiny is
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: for us in any given any given time, because it
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: was already written for us. So that GPS, sometimes you're
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: gonna hear it say re routing, just that even rerouting.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Came up, came up, something came up. And that's just
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: like like that day when Latania show come in place,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: but not because exactly the lad because the GPS, like
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: you say, don't account for traffic. And then sometimes it
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: will account for traffic and it will reroute you to
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: exact route. But then it may come up and then
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: it also will bring you. It'll let you know if
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: something is ahead, It'll let you know if danger like acident. Yes,
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: it'll tell you if there's a speed trap. It informs
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: you of things that may delay you, things that may
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: get you off track. And then if they got to
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: defer you, to detoy you, it's gonna deter you and
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: tell you.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: It'll give you alternate routes. And that's what you do.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: We that's what free will come in place.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: When we when we make the choice, like he already
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: got it mapped.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Out, Thank you, Holy girls.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: He already got it out, and he got it mapped
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: out for us. So when when we're going through this journey,
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: we can decide that we want to go left, or
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: we can decide and we want to go right. But
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: he got the straight path mapped out for us, and
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: we there left or we there right. We got to
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: know the consequences are going left. We got to know
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: the consequences are going right are not going to be
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: that's going straight. So if you choose to go left
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: or you choose to go right, you got to be
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: willing to accept those consequences. I'm telling you better.
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: Stay on the straight sometime were there, and when we
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: do there, he extends his grace and his mercy to
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: allow us an opportunity to get.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Back on track. I thank God for this time that
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: we had.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: You know, he knew what we needed tonight and he
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: knew everything that would be taking place. So it's no
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: coincidence that Trevita had that Patrice had to go be
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: with her baby tonight at the parades, because he knew
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: that you was gonna step in and you knew the conversation,
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: what the conversation would be about, and he knew that
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: I needed to be here tonight to talk about my
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: cousin on his birthday.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Happy birthday, Tony.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: A happy birthday. God always knows and if we're obedient,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: no matter what the circumstances may be, God always knows
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: every thing and ahead of time. And that's why my
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: tagline is always stay out of God's business, you know,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: because God knows exactly what he needs from us. All
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: he needs us to do is be obedient to what
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: He's calling us to do. And if you can be
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: obedient to what God is telling you to do, you'll
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: never never fall short of what he's telling you. You'll
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: never fall short, and you'll never miss what's for you anyway.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: And a lot of times we get so caught up
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: and Okay, well God, this didn't happen for me right now.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Why it ain't your time, It ain't your season. You know,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: your season may be filled with hardships, Your hard time
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: may be a moment of darkness. It may be some
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: of those things that you got to go through. You
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: may have to be dirt, buried in the dirt, but
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: you gotta blossom from that dirt. Even when people are
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: putting all kind of stuff on your name or whoever
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: you are, your dark season is ready for your blossoming.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: You got to be covered in some darkness. You got
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: to be covered in some things and order for God
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: to use you. God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: the call. And so when you know who God is
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: calling you to be, you will always be qualified. You
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: will never be unqualified because God knows who he created
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: you to be. Each and everything that you do is
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: not a mystery to him. It is all God's way,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: no way, not man's way. Man got a lot to say,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: but man ain't right.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: So Man, I tell you how you enjoy the conversation
• 44:34
