2:35
Speaker 3: Of course, of course, if you would please introduce yourself.
2:40
Speaker 4: I am Apostle, doctor Kimberly Thomas. I am located here
2:44
Speaker 4: in the great city of Tallahassee, and I'm glad to
2:46
Speaker 4: be here tonight with you.
2:49
Speaker 2: Amen. Amen, I know that you are an author. You
2:53
Speaker 2: are a one of many hats.
2:57
Speaker 3: I'm excited to have you a part of the one
2:59
Speaker 3: hundred Authors a movement and as one of.
3:02
Speaker 2: The group leaders.
3:04
Speaker 3: If you could share with the listeners tonight a little
3:08
Speaker 3: bit about your journey as an author.
3:12
Speaker 4: Okay, as an author, I started out actually as a poetist.
3:19
Speaker 4: I started writing at the age of sixteen, going through
3:23
Speaker 4: some things in my life. Life changes as many teens do,
3:27
Speaker 4: and I found myself writing poetry. I have a couple
3:32
Speaker 4: of poems that have been a part of several anthologies
3:37
Speaker 4: that are in the Library of Congress, and I progress
3:40
Speaker 4: from there. I guess around about twelve to thirteen years ago.
3:48
Speaker 4: The Lord allowed me to start capturing parts of my
3:52
Speaker 4: life and just documenting them on paper, and it took
3:57
Speaker 4: about ten years or better for him to give me
4:02
Speaker 4: the release to actually release that information, which was one
4:07
Speaker 4: of my first literary projects, which is entitled Free from
4:12
Speaker 4: Broken Beginnings. It is a story about my tattered past
4:16
Speaker 4: and my triumphant and victorious outcome. So he has allowed
4:23
Speaker 4: me to be able to capture many dark places that
4:26
Speaker 4: I have traveled through in order to bring healing and
4:30
Speaker 4: restoration to others who are going through various things in
4:34
Speaker 4: their life. I also during that time I was able
4:38
Speaker 4: to pin a effective prayer manual which I utilize in
4:45
Speaker 4: a lot of my trainings for prayer in the area
4:49
Speaker 4: of prayer. So God has really been good to me.
4:53
Speaker 4: I have continued to journey through my literary works. I
4:58
Speaker 4: have released several pieces this year, one of which is
5:04
Speaker 4: a book that really helps individuals as they are transitioning
5:10
Speaker 4: or prior to transitioning, to help their families know which
5:14
Speaker 4: way to go once they die. So it is very
5:19
Speaker 4: informative and a very comprehensive walk through the journey of
5:25
Speaker 4: getting your affairs in order and leaving information for your
5:29
Speaker 4: family to be able to follow and not have the
5:32
Speaker 4: stress of finding documents and locating information and guessing about
5:38
Speaker 4: your wishes. So I'm really grateful to the Lord for that.
5:42
Speaker 4: My other literary project that was released earlier this year
5:46
Speaker 4: was a thirty one day Prayer Journal, which is thirty
5:51
Speaker 4: one days of Psalms, and so I'm just grateful for
5:54
Speaker 4: God and him allowing me to be able to pen
5:59
Speaker 4: several literary projects. Most of the projects that I have
6:02
Speaker 4: penned are self help and they allow individuals to actually
6:08
Speaker 4: journey through Bible studies and different aspects of their Christian
6:13
Speaker 4: walk in order to develop a closer relationship and walk
6:17
Speaker 4: with Christ.
6:19
Speaker 3: Wow. I truly love what you're doing and really sharing
6:24
Speaker 3: the Word of God because a lot of us and
6:27
Speaker 3: a lot of us have gotten out of church and
6:30
Speaker 3: we need we need this because I often remind people
6:36
Speaker 3: that you know, he said we're gonna do greater works,
6:38
Speaker 3: and how will we How would people know of those
6:40
Speaker 3: greater works if we're not putting them to paper, if
6:44
Speaker 3: we're not putting them in a form that they can
6:47
Speaker 3: be archived so that they can be recovered later. I'm
6:52
Speaker 3: just I'm excited in that book that that journal on
6:57
Speaker 3: helping individuals get their last I guess you would say
7:03
Speaker 3: Will and Testament in order those last wishes, those things
7:06
Speaker 3: that you wish to happen as you transition to the
7:11
Speaker 3: next rim That that is nice because oftentimes, you know,
7:18
Speaker 3: people wonder, you know, what what they loved ones have wanted.
7:21
Speaker 2: You know, you often.
7:22
Speaker 3: Hear your loved ones say, well, I don't don't do this,
7:26
Speaker 3: don't do this, do this for me, do this for me,
7:28
Speaker 3: and then when the time comes, then it's.
7:30
Speaker 2: It's oh, well, I don't know what they will want.
7:33
Speaker 2: I don't know what they were want.
7:34
Speaker 3: But I remember, you know, in September having to you know,
7:39
Speaker 3: lay my brother the rest and I just remember my
7:43
Speaker 3: brother just saying.
7:45
Speaker 2: Do not do this, and do not do this, and
7:47
Speaker 2: do not do that.
7:48
Speaker 3: And that's all I remember. And you know, I let
7:52
Speaker 3: my nephews know, Hey, you this is what yoh, yeah,
7:54
Speaker 3: we know this because this is what he always told us.
7:57
Speaker 3: So if you have that, you know, some people, a
8:00
Speaker 3: lot of people don't have that.
8:02
Speaker 2: That that the.
8:03
Speaker 3: Relationship where you know, they voice that opinion and people
8:07
Speaker 3: are able to take that.
8:09
Speaker 2: So we need that. I'm excited about that.
8:13
Speaker 3: If you would share with us just a little bit
8:16
Speaker 3: about that, because we know that that is a process
8:20
Speaker 3: that we all have to journey.
8:21
Speaker 2: We're all gonna have to journey that. That is something
8:24
Speaker 2: that we're promised.
8:27
Speaker 3: You know, we have a beginning date and and and
8:30
Speaker 3: we're gonna have an end date. So that's something that
8:32
Speaker 3: we're gonna have to do. And having those things in
8:36
Speaker 3: place to make it easy easier for the family. We
8:40
Speaker 3: know it's not gonna be easy, but making it easier,
8:43
Speaker 3: making it, making it you know, really what they want.
8:45
Speaker 2: So what are some things that we can look forward.
8:50
Speaker 3: To in in that that journal, that that book that
8:54
Speaker 3: can help us with that process.
8:57
Speaker 4: The book is actually entitled When I Die, and it
9:01
Speaker 4: is a comprehensive, step by step giving your loved ones
9:06
Speaker 4: a glimpse of everything. So it starts out with you
9:10
Speaker 4: giving your wishes all the way from how you want
9:15
Speaker 4: to be dressed, what funeral home you may want to
9:17
Speaker 4: go to, what cemetery you may already have a plot
9:21
Speaker 4: purchased in, or where you would like to be. It
9:24
Speaker 4: also gives comprehensive information as far as your assets, where
9:29
Speaker 4: you can list your assets to allow your loved ones
9:33
Speaker 4: to know where to go to find certain documents, certain aspects,
9:38
Speaker 4: certain assets that you have. It lists your all of
9:43
Speaker 4: your accounts, your passwords, so there's a lot of information
9:48
Speaker 4: in there for you to be able to leave for
9:51
Speaker 4: your loved ones. So many times individuals die and after
9:55
Speaker 4: they die and the funeral's over and you're looking, you're
9:57
Speaker 4: trying to figure out, well, where's this and how do
10:01
Speaker 4: we take care of this? You know what bank did
10:04
Speaker 4: they bank with? Or where are their assets? You know
10:07
Speaker 4: what cars did they have? What deeds do they have
10:11
Speaker 4: to their homes. Where what we find all of these
10:14
Speaker 4: different things. And so this gives you a step by
10:17
Speaker 4: step journey of a place to place all of your documents.
10:22
Speaker 4: There's an envelope that comes along with the book for
10:25
Speaker 4: you to put your documents in your important documents. It
10:29
Speaker 4: gives you an outline of places to actually tell your
10:35
Speaker 4: loved ones where to find these things. It also allows
10:39
Speaker 4: you the opportunity to begin to even write out your
10:43
Speaker 4: own service. You know, who do you want to officiate
10:47
Speaker 4: your service, Who do you want to do the eulogy,
10:50
Speaker 4: individual purpose, persons that you might want on program, somebody
10:55
Speaker 4: that you may want to say something over you as
10:59
Speaker 4: a friend or as a neighbor. So it gives you
11:02
Speaker 4: a very comprehensive list of It's like a to do
11:07
Speaker 4: list basically. It even goes down to listing your relatives.
11:13
Speaker 4: You can put your your list of your relatives there
11:16
Speaker 4: and all this information, so it's compound where your loved ones.
11:21
Speaker 4: Once you die, you have this packet. You have the
11:25
Speaker 4: packet of information, the copies of the deeds, the copy
11:28
Speaker 4: of the titles to the cars, documents of insurance and
11:33
Speaker 4: different things for you to be able to just have
11:36
Speaker 4: it in one place and not have to search for
11:40
Speaker 4: certain documents and I have to run around and try
11:42
Speaker 4: to figure it out. Many times when individuals died, the
11:46
Speaker 4: hardest thing is to find out how to get to
11:52
Speaker 4: these these important documents. They don't know how to access
11:56
Speaker 4: the finances. And so this gives you a chance before
11:59
Speaker 4: you die to put all of your affairs in order
12:02
Speaker 4: so that your loved ones have it an easy way
12:06
Speaker 4: to go. We know that death is not easy, so
12:11
Speaker 4: this kind of takes a lot of the stress off
12:14
Speaker 4: the back end of trying to figure out where the
12:18
Speaker 4: assets are, trying to figure out if you have a
12:21
Speaker 4: will and testament, if you have living wills, if you
12:24
Speaker 4: have a power of attorney. One thing that I want
12:29
Speaker 4: to share is that a power of attorney. Many people
12:32
Speaker 4: think that power of attorneys last forever. They do not,
12:34
Speaker 4: They die when that person dies. So it's very important
12:38
Speaker 4: for you to understand that you should have at minimum
12:43
Speaker 4: a will, but most assuredly, if you have assets, you
12:48
Speaker 4: should have a trust so that you don't have to
12:51
Speaker 4: worry about it. You know, with a will, you're gonna
12:54
Speaker 4: have to go through probate. With a trust, it's a
12:57
Speaker 4: lot easier because your wishes have already been placed, So
13:02
Speaker 4: I would recommend anyone in the book also recommends that
13:05
Speaker 4: you seek legal counsel for a will and trust. You
13:11
Speaker 4: can write your own will in most states just having
13:14
Speaker 4: notarized with witnesses. However, a trust needs to be set
13:19
Speaker 4: up with an attorney so that this information can be
13:23
Speaker 4: properly documented and it will also assist your family when
13:28
Speaker 4: that time comes.
13:31
Speaker 3: Well, that was some great information. I was gonna ask
13:34
Speaker 3: was there information that could help them legally? And that
13:40
Speaker 3: kind of answered my question because that that's usually what
13:43
Speaker 3: people want to know. We have all the information, but
13:47
Speaker 3: it's just legal, it's this binding, it's this this this
13:49
Speaker 3: stand up. So once these things, once we have all
13:54
Speaker 3: this and it's notarized or we've had we've gone through
13:57
Speaker 3: the process of getting the lawyer, how.
14:02
Speaker 2: Do we.
14:05
Speaker 3: Make sure what is the steps for making sure that
14:10
Speaker 3: this is this book or whatever is taken care of
14:13
Speaker 3: and given to the right people and it's in the
14:17
Speaker 3: right hand so that it can be.
14:21
Speaker 2: You know, taking care of as we wish.
14:24
Speaker 3: So how can we make sure that that that book
14:26
Speaker 3: gets to the right person. Should we go, should we
14:29
Speaker 3: leave it with the lawyer, or how should we go
14:32
Speaker 3: about that.
14:34
Speaker 4: I would recommend it. I'm not I'm not an attorney.
14:37
Speaker 4: Let me put that disclaimer out there now, I'm not
14:39
Speaker 4: a an attorney, but I would recommend that once it
14:43
Speaker 4: is done, you either give it to the attorney or
14:47
Speaker 4: you put it in a safe deposit box, put it
14:50
Speaker 4: somewhere where it is going to be accessible by particular individual.
14:56
Speaker 4: You know safe deposit boxes, you have a certain individual
15:00
Speaker 4: that you can give access to, so that in that instance,
15:04
Speaker 4: I would make sure that a copy is given to
15:07
Speaker 4: the attorney. And if there are other important documents that
15:11
Speaker 4: I would want someone else to know, I will make
15:13
Speaker 4: sure that they would also have a copy of those
15:15
Speaker 4: documents and they would be put away in a safe
15:18
Speaker 4: place as well. But with the attorney having knowledge of
15:22
Speaker 4: the information that is in there and the person that
15:26
Speaker 4: should actually receive that information.
15:31
Speaker 2: That that is some great information, especially for those that
15:38
Speaker 2: you know.
15:39
Speaker 3: I have some individuals that have family members that are
15:43
Speaker 3: in the process of transitioning, so these will be some
15:46
Speaker 3: great tools for them. How can they purchase this book?
15:51
Speaker 3: How can they get their hands on this book.
15:54
Speaker 4: At the current time? You can? You can email me
15:58
Speaker 4: for a copy. I will be glad to send you
16:01
Speaker 4: out a copy of the actual book along with the
16:06
Speaker 4: envelope for all of the documents to go into and
16:10
Speaker 4: it can be purchased that way. You can email me,
16:12
Speaker 4: you can uh d M me on Facebook, and I
16:15
Speaker 4: will make sure that you get a copy and get
16:18
Speaker 4: the information to you.
16:20
Speaker 2: Awesome, awesome, awesome. That is great that it would be
16:24
Speaker 2: nice if individuals offered workshops to you know, go through
16:30
Speaker 2: these things. So I'm looking forward to maybe seeing some
16:33
Speaker 2: workshops from you. We helping individuals get get those those
16:40
Speaker 2: things in order, because it's it's it's it's great when
16:47
Speaker 2: the process can be a little light.
16:50
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna say it's gonna be easy, but it
16:52
Speaker 3: can be a little lighter, less lesser for you to
16:55
Speaker 3: have to worry about. I can honestly say that my
17:00
Speaker 3: brother transition was a lot smoother because we didn't have
17:06
Speaker 3: the pressures of wondering what we were going to do
17:12
Speaker 3: and how we were going to do it.
17:14
Speaker 4: It.
17:14
Speaker 3: It moved so swiftly and so smooth because my brother
17:20
Speaker 3: had already made his wishes known and his boys listen.
17:25
Speaker 3: They heard him, and they listened, so that was amazing.
17:30
Speaker 3: So to make that process a lighter for someone else.
17:35
Speaker 3: I'm excited for you and and how God placed it
17:38
Speaker 3: in your spirit to be able to do that. Know
17:41
Speaker 3: that was all him because he he know what we need,
17:45
Speaker 3: and I'm grateful.
17:47
Speaker 2: I'm grateful for that.
17:49
Speaker 3: You are a part of a new podcast that's coming
17:55
Speaker 3: up on the Crew podcast and it's dealing with grief.
18:01
Speaker 3: So tell us about that and what you're looking forward
18:06
Speaker 3: to with that opportunity.
18:09
Speaker 4: I am excited to have the opportunity to be a
18:13
Speaker 4: part of this particular podcast. This is something that is
18:18
Speaker 4: really near and dear to my heart when dealing with
18:23
Speaker 4: individuals who are walking through this particular journey. As a
18:28
Speaker 4: minister of the gospel, we see so much that transitions
18:34
Speaker 4: during times of grief. We see many phases of grief.
18:39
Speaker 4: We have actually I have actually walked through grief myself,
18:45
Speaker 4: just losing our daughter. We lost our daughter in two
18:47
Speaker 4: thousand and four, and just to have the Lord be
18:51
Speaker 4: with me during that time and understanding that even when
18:56
Speaker 4: there is more than one person involved, because I had
19:00
Speaker 4: to come to the realization that my husband had his
19:04
Speaker 4: process of grief which was different from my process of grief,
19:08
Speaker 4: and we processed it very differently, and so to be
19:13
Speaker 4: a part of this project and to be able to
19:16
Speaker 4: lend my voice to some of the things that we
19:19
Speaker 4: walked through as parents, parents who have lost a child.
19:23
Speaker 4: We lost an infant and then we lost an adult
19:26
Speaker 4: son as well, so two different scenarios. Both of them
19:31
Speaker 4: were very different in the walk through the grief, but
19:36
Speaker 4: it was still a walk, it was still a journey.
19:39
Speaker 4: And so to be able to not only speak from
19:44
Speaker 4: a personal perspective of individual who has taken that journey,
19:49
Speaker 4: but also to be able to speak from a spiritual
19:53
Speaker 4: perspective from how God had, how God has and continues
19:59
Speaker 4: to walk with me through that journey. Even though it's
20:02
Speaker 4: been almost twenty one years ago, there are still some
20:05
Speaker 4: days that you know, are more vivid than other days.
20:09
Speaker 4: There are still some days where it seems to overwhelm
20:15
Speaker 4: you sometimes when you start to think about, you know,
20:19
Speaker 4: what would their life have been like, and how you know,
20:23
Speaker 4: how different my life may have been had they still
20:26
Speaker 4: been here with me. There's still those moments where you
20:30
Speaker 4: think and you're having these glimpses of you know, what if.
20:36
Speaker 4: And so it's a process. But I want people to
20:40
Speaker 4: understand that even in grief, there is no specific time
20:47
Speaker 4: for you to get over someone leaving. There's no specific
20:52
Speaker 4: time because of the simple fact that I was five
20:55
Speaker 4: years old when my mom passed away, and I still
20:58
Speaker 4: have moments. Mother's Day is a time that used to
21:02
Speaker 4: be very difficult for me just being there. You know,
21:07
Speaker 4: you're in church and on Mother's Day and you have
21:09
Speaker 4: all these these individuals with their mother and their loving
21:12
Speaker 4: on their mother's and they're celebrating their mothers, and then
21:16
Speaker 4: you're you're here and you're saying, well, my mother's not
21:19
Speaker 4: here with me. I have many mother figures, but to
21:23
Speaker 4: say my biological mother is not here, you know, those
21:28
Speaker 4: are those are moments in time that sometimes you know
21:32
Speaker 4: you you you have those moments, and sometimes they cause
21:36
Speaker 4: you to reflect in a way that grief is it
21:41
Speaker 4: will set in. So I'm really excited about the opportunity.
21:46
Speaker 4: I'm excited about what God is going to do. My
21:49
Speaker 4: prayer is that many people will leave the podcast each
21:55
Speaker 4: episode being blessed, being healed, being delivered, having a little
22:00
Speaker 4: more insight on walking through grief, and being able to
22:04
Speaker 4: really decree and declare some freedom and some liberty, because
22:08
Speaker 4: grief can be something that can really overwhelm you to
22:11
Speaker 4: the point to where it is weighing you down. And
22:15
Speaker 4: so we want them to be free, We want them
22:17
Speaker 4: to be lighter, We want them to understand that, you know,
22:21
Speaker 4: grief is something that we're all going to have to
22:24
Speaker 4: walk through. But with God, we can walk through it
22:27
Speaker 4: and we'll make it through it. He's there to help us.
22:31
Speaker 4: He says that he draws ninde to those of a
22:33
Speaker 4: broken heart and those of a contrast spirit. And so
22:37
Speaker 4: when we learn how to walk through grief and walk
22:40
Speaker 4: through it with God and knowing that we never walk alone,
22:44
Speaker 4: I really I'm grateful for that and I'm really looking
22:47
Speaker 4: forward to the impact that we will make on the community.
22:52
Speaker 3: Now when I tell you, this woman of God is
22:56
Speaker 3: really making an impact and just giving of herself and
23:01
Speaker 3: allowing God to truly use her gifts and her talents.
23:04
Speaker 2: Not only is she a part of this podcast, she also.
23:11
Speaker 3: Pours and give and sews into our five am prayer call.
23:16
Speaker 3: We've been on this prayer line going on well.
23:20
Speaker 2: This year.
23:20
Speaker 3: We celebrated five years in February, and I think Apostle
23:26
Speaker 3: came on our second year and on the prayer line,
23:30
Speaker 3: and she's been with us. This year made the fourth
23:34
Speaker 3: year for her, and I tell you she's truly been
23:38
Speaker 3: a blessing to us. She has sown and she truly
23:42
Speaker 3: pours into us. And I tell you she sacrificed because
23:46
Speaker 3: she could be anywhere, but she chooses to get up
23:50
Speaker 3: every morning at five am and oversee our prayer call
23:56
Speaker 3: and to cover us. She don't have to, but God
24:01
Speaker 3: laid it in her spirit to be a part of
24:03
Speaker 3: this prayer line. And I tell you, I'm so grateful
24:06
Speaker 3: for her because we have truly seen God move. And
24:10
Speaker 3: I just want to thank you publicly for all that
24:13
Speaker 3: you do because you don't have to, but God has
24:16
Speaker 3: truly given you a a a servant spirit, and you
24:21
Speaker 3: serve at all costs. And I just pray that He
24:25
Speaker 3: just bless you for all that you pour out. You
24:29
Speaker 3: are so willing to sow and to give, and I'm
24:33
Speaker 3: grateful you have truly you You probably don't even realize
24:37
Speaker 3: the impact that you have on so many lives, but
24:40
Speaker 3: you have truly impacted my life. I will never forget
24:44
Speaker 3: those words that that that you often say is. It
24:48
Speaker 3: just resonates in my mind every time I do something
24:53
Speaker 3: that that you do for others, God would do for you.
24:57
Speaker 3: You know, I constantly that that constantly he plays in
25:01
Speaker 3: my mind and it plays in my heart. So when
25:04
Speaker 3: when I'm doing something, I'm reminded that if I'm not
25:07
Speaker 3: doing it unto God, I can't do it.
25:11
Speaker 2: So I'm grateful for You.
25:14
Speaker 3: I truly am thank you for all that you do.
25:18
Speaker 2: What has this prayer line me to you?
25:24
Speaker 1: Who?
25:25
Speaker 4: Okay the prayer line? Oh my God. When I started
25:30
Speaker 4: this journey, I started this journey as one one of
25:35
Speaker 4: the contributors to the One and twenty one Day Anthology.
25:40
Speaker 4: Never thought in a million years that God would have
25:44
Speaker 4: taken my life to where it is today four years later,
25:51
Speaker 4: well five years later, because I started with the the
25:54
Speaker 4: anthology and then four years into the prayer and so
25:57
Speaker 4: I'm just really grateful to God. I have always been
26:02
Speaker 4: a woman of prayer. That is my life. I don't
26:06
Speaker 4: I cannot make it without that, without prayer, and I
26:10
Speaker 4: understand that. I've understood that from a very young age,
26:14
Speaker 4: going through many of the things that I have experienced.
26:18
Speaker 4: It only took I only came through those things through
26:21
Speaker 4: prayer and through the help of the Lord. And so
26:25
Speaker 4: prayer has always always been a part of me. That is,
26:31
Speaker 4: that is who I am, and I just thank God
26:35
Speaker 4: for him choosing me to be an intercessor, and I
26:39
Speaker 4: thank God for him giving me this assignment because it
26:43
Speaker 4: is truly an assignment from God. Because one thing that
26:48
Speaker 4: I want us to really understand and realize, everything that
26:52
Speaker 4: comes to us is not our assignment. And I am
26:56
Speaker 4: well aware of that, even being an intercessor and a
26:59
Speaker 4: prayer warrior, everything that comes before me is not my assignment.
27:04
Speaker 4: But God assigned me to this prayer line, and I
27:10
Speaker 4: honor God with everything. I have seen God's hand move
27:16
Speaker 4: over these past four years in such a mighty way
27:21
Speaker 4: just being on the prayer line. And sometimes we start
27:26
Speaker 4: off and God will just take us to a whole
27:31
Speaker 4: different realm, to the point to where we are not
27:37
Speaker 4: we're not ourselves. When I say we am speaking of me,
27:41
Speaker 4: not myself, but standing in the presence of God, and
27:46
Speaker 4: God just begins to speak to his children, and I
27:53
Speaker 4: give him glory. I give him glory. I'm honored to
27:57
Speaker 4: be chosen by God. I thank God for the invitation
28:03
Speaker 4: to even join the anthology and then to move on
28:08
Speaker 4: and transition into the prayer. You know, we started out
28:13
Speaker 4: at one hundred and twenty one days of prayer in
28:17
Speaker 4: the first couple of years. And God has transitioned us
28:21
Speaker 4: to be back into prayer after just the little break
28:25
Speaker 4: and to continue on. And I'm so grateful because prayer
28:29
Speaker 4: is so needed. It is needed. Many of us don't
28:32
Speaker 4: realize that we operate and we're moving off of the
28:36
Speaker 4: prayers of others because some of us don't really pray
28:40
Speaker 4: like we should. And it's the prayers of others that
28:44
Speaker 4: are helping us, that are carrying us, and that are
28:47
Speaker 4: keeping us. And so I just thank God for being
28:50
Speaker 4: chosen for this assignment. And I just can't say enough
28:56
Speaker 4: about the things that we've seen God do. He has
28:59
Speaker 4: truly moved, truly blessed us, He has truly spoken to us.
29:08
Speaker 4: He has transitioned and made great changes. There are so
29:12
Speaker 4: many individuals that are on our prayer line or and
29:17
Speaker 4: on our prayer list that God has literally transformed their lives.
29:23
Speaker 4: And I'm just I'm grateful. I am truly truly grateful,
29:27
Speaker 4: and I just thank God. I can't thank him enough
29:32
Speaker 4: for the opportunity.
29:35
Speaker 2: Amen.
29:35
Speaker 3: Amen, Well, I truly truly thank you for being a part.
29:39
Speaker 3: I have truly witnessed God move and I tell people
29:44
Speaker 3: all the time you know, people make it seem like
29:47
Speaker 3: it's so hard to live for God and to serve God,
29:52
Speaker 3: but it is truly not. If you place it in
29:55
Speaker 3: your heart like he would, truly do it, like he
29:58
Speaker 3: truly a teas to the matters of the heart. And
30:02
Speaker 3: if you just place it in your heart like truly
30:06
Speaker 3: and just watch him move. And that's what I've done.
30:09
Speaker 3: I've truly watched God move. I didn't know what I
30:13
Speaker 3: was doing. I was just obedient, you know those three letters.
30:17
Speaker 3: It was three letters, the three l's. Like. I was like, okay, God,
30:21
Speaker 3: and then he dropped words in my spirit. I was like, okay, God,
30:24
Speaker 3: who won't listen to these words? And I was like, okay, well,
30:27
Speaker 3: what you want me to do with the words? And
30:28
Speaker 3: then I came up. He started just dropping things in
30:32
Speaker 3: my spirit. I said, okay, so I got Pam.
30:35
Speaker 2: I got.
30:36
Speaker 3: There was another young lady that started with us in
30:38
Speaker 3: the beginning, and then Shaniya ended up joining us. And
30:40
Speaker 3: then I was like, okay, Lord, I say, okay, we're
30:43
Speaker 3: coming together, we're praying.
30:44
Speaker 2: Now, what do you want me to do? And he
30:46
Speaker 2: just said, just keep showing up.
30:49
Speaker 3: And every day we would just show up in the beginning,
30:54
Speaker 3: it was just me, Pam and Shaneeria, you know, and
30:57
Speaker 3: we just kept showing up. We just kept showing up.
30:59
Speaker 3: We just kept showing up, and I just kept inviting
31:01
Speaker 3: people and people would come. We've had so many people
31:04
Speaker 3: come through the prayer line. But I tell you, God
31:06
Speaker 3: has surely moved and I'm just grateful because He has
31:11
Speaker 3: truly shown himself and he allow us to share his
31:15
Speaker 3: goodness in a way that you know, I can't not
31:19
Speaker 3: let it go. Greater works, those greater works that He
31:24
Speaker 3: say we shall do. You know, we can't rewrite the Bible,
31:28
Speaker 3: we can't add nothing to it, we can't take nothing
31:30
Speaker 3: away from it. But we can leave the evidence. And
31:33
Speaker 3: we can leave the evidence through these books. We can
31:36
Speaker 3: leave it through these podcasts, we can leave it through
31:38
Speaker 3: the things that we're doing, and we can truly reference him.
31:42
Speaker 3: We can surely bring him glory that he's truly deserving of.
31:47
Speaker 3: And I'm just so grateful. I'm grateful for that prayer line.
31:51
Speaker 3: Another thing that you are a part of is the
31:54
Speaker 3: one hundred Oddsme movement. You are one of the group leaders,
32:00
Speaker 3: and I've been asking a lot of individuals are part
32:05
Speaker 3: of this movement what is your desire to take away
32:10
Speaker 3: from this movement? But what are two things that you
32:13
Speaker 3: desire to take away from this movement?
32:18
Speaker 4: The one hundred Author's Movement. I have really been I
32:26
Speaker 4: think empowered by some of the other authors, some of
32:33
Speaker 4: their books, some of their information that they have released,
32:38
Speaker 4: the literacy, the literature that they have released. There are
32:44
Speaker 4: so many awesome authors out here, and just to be
32:49
Speaker 4: a part of this movement is it's awesome. It's a
32:53
Speaker 4: great experience, first of all, to be included in the
32:57
Speaker 4: one hundred Author's movement. The thing that I really am
33:02
Speaker 4: looking for and I have seen so much within the
33:06
Speaker 4: group is the collaboration. Those that realize that we're all
33:13
Speaker 4: in this together. It's not a big eye or a
33:16
Speaker 4: little you. We're all working together. And some of us
33:21
Speaker 4: have more knowledge, more resources, more information, more access than others.
33:27
Speaker 4: But it's the point that we're not gatekeepers and we're
33:30
Speaker 4: not trying to keep everything to ourselves, but just being
33:34
Speaker 4: willing to share with others, so that we are not
33:39
Speaker 4: just self promoting, but we're promoting others. We're promoting each other,
33:43
Speaker 4: we're supporting each other, and I think the support is
33:47
Speaker 4: one of the things that is very important, but it
33:50
Speaker 4: is lacking in our community because many of us, we
33:54
Speaker 4: don't have a heart of servitude, We don't have a
33:58
Speaker 4: heart that is willing to really get out and support.
34:03
Speaker 4: But to be a part of the one hundred author's
34:08
Speaker 4: movement and to see the support that each of these
34:12
Speaker 4: authors give to each other, just supporting, promoting each other,
34:17
Speaker 4: just you know, just shouting out somebody's books, shouting out
34:24
Speaker 4: something that they're doing, helping them to promote them, helping
34:29
Speaker 4: them to promote their work. And that is the thing,
34:32
Speaker 4: And that goes back to what you make happen for others.
34:35
Speaker 4: God will make happen for you. When we stop being
34:39
Speaker 4: concerned about our foreur and no more, we will be
34:42
Speaker 4: able to see that we are able to grow. I'm
34:46
Speaker 4: really looking forward to this movement breaking down a lot
34:51
Speaker 4: of barriers of negativity, a lot of barriers of dissension
34:58
Speaker 4: and division to allow others to be able to see
35:02
Speaker 4: that we can work together. So many times people don't
35:06
Speaker 4: think that our community, our black and brown community, can
35:10
Speaker 4: work together, but we really can. We can work together
35:13
Speaker 4: and we can build some things. And it's all about
35:16
Speaker 4: building a community, building a community, building relationships, being able
35:21
Speaker 4: to work with someone that may write of a different
35:25
Speaker 4: genre of literature than you. This is something that we're
35:29
Speaker 4: able to promote. You know, there are authors that I
35:33
Speaker 4: have actually reached out to. Hey, you know, I would
35:36
Speaker 4: love to have a copy of your book. Tell me
35:39
Speaker 4: how to get a copy of your book. I want
35:42
Speaker 4: to be able to support the authors. I think that
35:45
Speaker 4: that is that's very important, being able to support one another.
35:50
Speaker 4: And as we support one another, then that helps us
35:54
Speaker 4: to not only build our brands, but also help to
35:57
Speaker 4: push somebody else to build their brand. So I'm really
36:02
Speaker 4: excited about the movement. I'm really excited to see what
36:06
Speaker 4: God is going to do and where God is going
36:09
Speaker 4: to take us. You started something that really sparked in
36:13
Speaker 4: my spirit that you have coming up, and I think
36:17
Speaker 4: that it would be something that would be great for
36:20
Speaker 4: us to be able to do as a whole within
36:24
Speaker 4: the Author's movement, with every region being able to do this.
36:29
Speaker 4: And it's something that we're going to pick up here
36:32
Speaker 4: for our narrative group. We're going to actually pick up.
36:38
Speaker 4: I want to be able to promote authors in a
36:42
Speaker 4: book tour as well as the prayer Breakfast. I think
36:45
Speaker 4: that is so important. I think that was just such
36:48
Speaker 4: a power move. I know that was a move of
36:51
Speaker 4: God in order to be able to bring that forth,
36:54
Speaker 4: and so I'm looking forward to that because that's another
36:57
Speaker 4: opportunity to build relationships. It's another opportunity to network and
37:03
Speaker 4: to also be able to get your information out while
37:08
Speaker 4: you're helping others promote their information.
37:11
Speaker 2: Amen. And that's what it's all about.
37:14
Speaker 1: You know.
37:14
Speaker 3: I often tell people those four seeds. He dropped those
37:20
Speaker 3: four seeds in my spirit, and it is connect, collaborate,
37:27
Speaker 3: create and community like that. That that that is what
37:33
Speaker 3: this movement is all about. It is about us making
37:36
Speaker 3: those connections, us coming together, us us finding those those
37:42
Speaker 3: people that can help us in those areas that we're
37:45
Speaker 3: weak in. You know, he said that we're supposed to
37:47
Speaker 3: be help makes one to another. So if there's an
37:50
Speaker 3: area that I am weak in then and you are
37:53
Speaker 3: strong in that area, then I'm gonna look for you
37:56
Speaker 3: for some support and some guidance and some help. So
38:00
Speaker 3: I'm grateful that He's allowed us to connect and then collaborate.
38:05
Speaker 3: You know, there may be areas where we can come
38:09
Speaker 3: together and be a force, because there may be something
38:13
Speaker 3: on your journey that people on my platform may need,
38:17
Speaker 3: but I can't give it to them because I've not
38:20
Speaker 3: went through that journey. So us being able to come together,
38:24
Speaker 3: us being able to partner, us being able to to
38:28
Speaker 3: make that connection and able to bring those two platforms together,
38:33
Speaker 3: That's what it's all about. And then us being able
38:36
Speaker 3: to create something that allows that camaraderie, that that opportunity
38:43
Speaker 3: for individuals to come together, and it will build our community.
38:47
Speaker 3: You know, it's not just about our four and no more.
38:51
Speaker 3: You know, it is about you know, once we've got
38:55
Speaker 3: ourselves together, once we've healed, once we've gotten the want that,
39:01
Speaker 3: once we got that strength, it's up to us to
39:04
Speaker 3: make sure that our house is in order. Then once
39:08
Speaker 3: our house is in order, it's up to us to
39:10
Speaker 3: branch out into our community. It is our jobs to
39:14
Speaker 3: make sure that.
39:15
Speaker 2: Our community is okay.
39:18
Speaker 3: And then once we got our communities in order, then
39:21
Speaker 3: guess what, Then we can start reaching out to the regions.
39:23
Speaker 3: Then we can start going national, Then we can start
39:26
Speaker 3: going global, because that's what we're supposed to be. We're
39:29
Speaker 3: supposed to be able to reach all four corners of
39:32
Speaker 3: the earth because there's somebody out there that is waiting
39:37
Speaker 3: to hear your message. They're waiting to hear that thing
39:41
Speaker 3: that God is put down on the inside of you.
39:43
Speaker 3: Because he didn't throw us here, he didn't drop us
39:46
Speaker 3: out the sky. He strategially placed us here. He said
39:50
Speaker 3: it in Jeremiah twenty nine and eleven. He declared that
39:54
Speaker 3: he had a plan. And when he declared something, that
39:57
Speaker 3: means it's niched in stone. That means it has to
40:00
Speaker 3: happen because he declared it.
40:02
Speaker 2: So know that the plan is the plan. We can
40:07
Speaker 2: dB a, we can.
40:08
Speaker 3: Get our track. We we we can we can choose
40:11
Speaker 3: free will and and and and suffer the consequences from
40:14
Speaker 3: that free will. But it's always going to go back
40:18
Speaker 3: to the plan that he had for us from the
40:21
Speaker 3: beginning of time. It's not gonna change. You just have
40:25
Speaker 3: to go through the consequences. You just have to endure
40:27
Speaker 3: so he can build that character, so he can truly
40:29
Speaker 3: build you into that person that.
40:32
Speaker 2: He called you to be.
40:34
Speaker 3: And and I'm grateful for this journey with you. I'm
40:40
Speaker 3: grateful to be able to share all of these different things.
40:46
Speaker 3: I'm excited to have you come and be a part
40:49
Speaker 3: of our first stop here in East Point in the
40:53
Speaker 3: Atlanta area on April the fifth. Not only is it
40:59
Speaker 3: our first stop and we're gonna be celebrating a book,
41:04
Speaker 3: because you also did the forward for this book, so
41:08
Speaker 3: you had your hands in that. But we're also gonna
41:11
Speaker 3: be celebrating my fiftieth birthday. We're also gonna be celebrating
41:17
Speaker 3: my fiftieth birthday. So I'm excited to have Apostle in
41:20
Speaker 3: the building. We're gonna start our morning off with a
41:25
Speaker 3: prayer breakfast. We are coming from behind these walls. We're
41:30
Speaker 3: coming together and we're going to fellowship. So we're gonna
41:34
Speaker 3: start off with the prayer breakfast. So we're gonna feed
41:37
Speaker 3: our spirit, and we're gonna speed our physical. We're gonna
41:40
Speaker 3: feed our physical in our spirit. And then Apostle is
41:44
Speaker 3: gonna bring forth that word. She's gonna share that word
41:47
Speaker 3: with us, and then we're gonna transition into the book
41:51
Speaker 3: tour and allowing individuals to opportunity to showcase their brands
41:56
Speaker 3: and opportunity to tap into some of the speakers that
42:00
Speaker 3: it's going to be sharing because we want you to
42:02
Speaker 3: be able to take your brands to the next level.
42:04
Speaker 3: I truly believe in the E three experience, and that
42:08
Speaker 3: is educate and power and encourage everyone that comes in
42:12
Speaker 3: my presence. I want them to feel like they've left
42:16
Speaker 3: and feel the ultimate E three experience, that they feel
42:21
Speaker 3: a little educated, that they feel that they have been
42:23
Speaker 3: a little empowered, and that encouraged to stay on this journey.
42:28
Speaker 2: So I'm truly excited.
42:29
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to hopefully connecting with some more of
42:33
Speaker 3: the group leaders and bringing it to some different areas
42:35
Speaker 3: because when you realize what you have amongst you, like
42:40
Speaker 3: you have to know those that labor amongst you, because
42:43
Speaker 3: when you realize what you have amongst you and the
42:47
Speaker 3: talent that is within this group, you know, I've had
42:50
Speaker 3: a chance to really look at some of the individual's resumes.
42:54
Speaker 3: I've had opportunity to look at some of their work,
42:57
Speaker 3: some of the things that they're doing. Like, we have
42:58
Speaker 3: professors that are doing some amazing things. One of our
43:03
Speaker 3: professors out of he's a professor at Miles Miles College
43:08
Speaker 3: Miles University, which is Miles College, which is a HBCU
43:12
Speaker 3: in Alabama. Not only is he a professor.
43:16
Speaker 2: And he's a in.
43:18
Speaker 3: The English department, and he just did some amazing things
43:23
Speaker 3: with the library there. They did an amazing poetry showcase.
43:28
Speaker 3: But he's doing some amazing things.
43:30
Speaker 2: You have.
43:32
Speaker 3: Doctor chin Gera, she's out of the Virgin Islands. She's
43:36
Speaker 3: also a professor. She's also over African studies. So we
43:45
Speaker 3: have a lot that is connected right here in the group.
43:48
Speaker 2: We have doctor Kimberly that does a lot. Y'all. Y'all
43:54
Speaker 2: just heard a lot of the things that she's doing.
43:57
Speaker 3: So I want to encourage you if you are an
44:00
Speaker 3: author or if you are inspiring author and looking to
44:04
Speaker 3: release a book, because we do have some individuals that
44:07
Speaker 3: are part of our movement that just releasing books this year.
44:12
Speaker 2: This is their first book.
44:13
Speaker 3: They've been a part of anthologies, so they didn't really
44:17
Speaker 3: consider themselves authorship, but they are releasing books this year,
44:22
Speaker 3: so they joined the group. So we have space for
44:26
Speaker 3: anyone that is walking into authorship. Whether you are a
44:31
Speaker 3: co author or if you are a solo author, we
44:35
Speaker 3: want to help you grow.
44:36
Speaker 2: We want to help you.
44:38
Speaker 3: Expand your brand. We truly believe in sharing resources all.
44:43
Speaker 3: Any time somebody invite me to something, they have to
44:46
Speaker 3: know that I can't come unless I share it with
44:49
Speaker 3: my group. So can I invite my group? So whenever
44:52
Speaker 3: y'all see me on the podcast, know that the invitation
44:56
Speaker 3: has been extended to all of the one hundred authors.
45:00
Speaker 3: I can't get featured in magazines and let you unless
45:02
Speaker 3: y'all feature some of them.
45:05
Speaker 2: You ain't have me unless you have some of the authors.
45:09
Speaker 3: Like I've actually turned down opportunities because it's not about
45:13
Speaker 3: me in this season, and I keep telling people that
45:16
Speaker 3: it's not about me and this season it's about the
45:18
Speaker 3: one hundred author movement, So can you can you feature
45:22
Speaker 3: some of these authors? Because I would wretch mother you
45:24
Speaker 3: take an opportunity to share maybe ten or fifteen of them,
45:28
Speaker 3: you get one of me when you can get ten
45:30
Speaker 3: or fifteen of them. So I'm always trying to put
45:36
Speaker 3: these authors out there, giving them the opportunity to expand
45:40
Speaker 3: their reach, expand their brand, and tap into some of
45:44
Speaker 3: these resources because there's a lot out there, and if
45:48
Speaker 3: we don't know that they're out there, we can't tap
45:50
Speaker 3: into them. So as we come into them, we're sharing
45:54
Speaker 3: them and we're trying to help you guys go to
45:56
Speaker 3: the next level. So with that being said, I definitely
46:02
Speaker 3: want people to be able to connect with you, be
46:06
Speaker 3: able to follow you, be able to support the things
46:08
Speaker 3: that you do. Because outside of being a ministry leader,
46:14
Speaker 3: being a author.
46:19
Speaker 2: She's also a business owner several businesses, so I would say.
46:27
Speaker 3: A serial entrepreneur she is. So if you could briefly
46:36
Speaker 3: share with us, run through your businesses, and then I
46:40
Speaker 3: want to know how they can connect with you and
46:44

Speaker 3: seeing what got as in store for the one hundred
51:02
Speaker 3: author movement when it when it comes down to your
51:05
Speaker 3: group in your area. So I'm excited about that, looking
51:09
Speaker 3: forward to working with you in the near future. So
51:15
Speaker 3: before we close, look like there's some technical issues. Maybe
51:19
Speaker 3: she would come back on, but look like it's keeped
51:22
Speaker 3: her out. I see it's been knocking her out and
51:25
Speaker 3: bringing her back in but we have her back. One
51:28
Speaker 3: thing I want to before we close it is International
51:32
Speaker 3: Women's History Month. I want to know what does that
51:36
Speaker 3: mean to you and what would you like for your legacy.
51:42
Speaker 2: To look like?
51:44
Speaker 1: Wow.
51:46
Speaker 4: Women's History Month for me is an opportunity for us
51:51
Speaker 4: to ask women to realize that there is no such
51:57
Speaker 4: thing as a glass ceiling. We've been told many, many
51:59
Speaker 4: times that you know, there's this glass ceiling, but we
52:03
Speaker 4: don't have to work within those bounds because beyond the
52:06
Speaker 4: sky's the limit to whatever we desire to have. And
52:10
Speaker 4: so I'm grateful for that opportunity. My thing is I
52:15
Speaker 4: always want to leave as a legacy for those that
52:20
Speaker 4: are coming behind me. I want to make an impact
52:24
Speaker 4: and not an impression. Everywhere I go I want to
52:27
Speaker 4: be impactful. I don't want to make an impression. I
52:31
Speaker 4: want to impact, empower and motivate others to be able
52:36
Speaker 4: to fulfill their potential, to reach their goals and to
52:42
Speaker 4: be all that God has predestined ordained for them to be.
52:47
Speaker 2: Amen.
52:48
Speaker 3: Amen, So if you would before we close, always leave
52:55
Speaker 3: that word of inspiration for that person that may be
52:59
Speaker 3: going through or need that extra push to keep them going.
53:03
Speaker 4: Amen. Well, as you sit today and you journey through
53:08
Speaker 4: your life. Many of us are facing some hard times.
53:11
Speaker 4: Many of us are in places that we never would
53:14
Speaker 4: have dreamed of or even thought that we would find ourselves.
53:18
Speaker 4: But I want to encourage you today that there is hope.
53:22
Speaker 4: There is a light at the end of whatever you
53:25
Speaker 4: are going through, if you continue to look to the
53:28
Speaker 4: heels from which cometh your help. Know that all of
53:31
Speaker 4: your help comes from the Lord. You can lean on him,
53:34
Speaker 4: you can depend on him, and most of all, you
53:37
Speaker 4: can trust him. Trust him with everything that you have.
53:40
Speaker 4: Don't lean to your own understanding, but acknowledge Him in
53:44
Speaker 4: all of your ways, and He shall direct your path.
53:48
Speaker 4: Go forth and be all that God has for.
53:50
