  Speaker 1: for having me. Where were you twenty three years ago
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: when I was with this boy here girl expecting my
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: twenty year old Oh my god. Like I still remember
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: when I first held my son and I'm looking, I
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: don't know nothing but no boy. Because my mom just
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: had all girls. So for me to have the first boy,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, I had my sisters, and I think my
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: sister's like fifteen sixteen. There was something to calling mysel
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: son papa, like you. He the youngest yo, and to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: this day he's twenty three and they still calling him papa.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: But first, tell us a little bit about yourself. Okay,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I reside here in Ohio, close to Cleveland. I ain't
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: gonna say go Browns because we that's a whole nother podcast.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: But I've resided here in Ohio all my life. I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: have two sons. The oldest is I said forty, but
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: he's forty one. I keep forgetting that young man had
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a birthday in April. He's forty one, and my youngest
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: is twenty. So I have raised boys in two different
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: seasons of my life, and it was just as you
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: like with you. It was a lot of girls in
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: our family, you know, not a lot of boys, but
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of girls. I do have granddaughters. I have grandchildren,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: two granddaughters, and a grandson. He's Brandon Junior aka Jumie.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: He just turned four and I retired. I was in
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: education for thirty two years. And when my youngest graduated
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: high school, when he came out, I came out right
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: behind him. So he's kind of what I had been
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: waiting on to step away from education was him to
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: graduate and I got to hand him his diploma on
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the field. That was one of the perks of being
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a staff. So I definitely was waiting on that honor,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and I don't know what can I say, Mom's sons
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: is is definitely an assignment from the Lord. I never
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: saw a coming. I had a blog that, you know,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I just would write about single mom stuff, you know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: like five years ago, because most of my life I've
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: been married to both of my son's fathers, and we
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: ended up, you know, parting ways and going through a
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: divorce and I ended up being a single mom. So
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: eighty percent of the time I raised my boys by myself.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: But God has a sense of humor because he knows
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I can only handle one child at a time.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: There was forty years difference, yes, listen, yeah, yeah, So
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: it's been an honor raising them.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: When you were saying about the buck up thing, I
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: tell you Brandon and Jaden are Brandon's the oldest and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Jaden is the youngest. They're just so different. Jaden is
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: majoring in cybersecurity and forensics. He's a full time student
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: out in West Virginia. He'll be graduating with his bachelor's
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: in December at the age of twenty. Because he went
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: through early college in high school and graduated with his associates,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: so he is one of those brainiac type kids. So
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: he's kind of real quiet, real late back, and he's
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: an observer so he doesn't seen stuff that his older
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: brother has done. And he's that type of child that
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: like now, Dad, look at him over there getting in
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: trouble with my nah, and Brandon is more like me.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: He was gonna try me now, he'd have tried me son,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So I had to show him a couple of times,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: just because I was the mom and shorter than him.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I meant what I said when I told him, So
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you all know what that means. Oh my god,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: it sounds so much like what I've been through. My
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: kids are two different ballgames. So my son went to
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: early college here in so wonderful and he graduated with
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the associates and he graduated during COVID. Mm hmm. So
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that was a big, big thing for us. It was
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: that was rough. That was rough. It was because the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: whole graduation looked so different that year. We were really
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: struggling at our high school with the graduation ceremony that year.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: My head I had off to you, I know that
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: was rough we were, and he he did. They didn't
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: really have a real prom or anything. So he's my
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: gentle giant. He did buck up one time, but he
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: learned his lessons. I can't get in trouble him, so
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: he's my gentle giant. But that eleven year old girl Jesus,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I asked the Lord, what did I do in the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: past lifetime? And because that one? And then, but I
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: have to say raising a son, and I too was
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: with his father. We got married and we divorced, but
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: we were both still committed to being parents. And I
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: have to admit raising the son then m was way
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: more easier than raising the sun. Now. But just because
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: he's in his twenties, he has the fear of what
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: younger kids his age are going through now. And my
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: son came back to Christ, Thank you God. It is beautiful.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: But now it's that lack of community for a black male.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: So your books, and I noticed that one of your
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: blogs was about helping your child to understand the purpose
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: in calling that God is calling to that life. Yes,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: how help me? Because he comes in my room and
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: he's I know that door knock. I'm like, all right, well,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you know, I feel bad and I'm very remiss, Like
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: this is the series right here, but there is a
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and alone devotional for the adult son eighteen and up.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And I definitely could not write that, especially since you
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: know Jaden was nineteen at the time, moving towards twenty,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and Brandon was already grown. So I didn't send that
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to you. I will send that link to you when
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: we're done. But there's actually four devotionals. The one that
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you see that is the early years. That is for
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the moms that are raising baby boys in the womb
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: to age six. Because God very clearly said to me
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: months ago when he was shaping mom of sons. His
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: core message is it is never too early for a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: mother to introduce her son to my son. That's the key.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: That's the key. So that meant in the warm, we're
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: praying over these baby boys, we're speaking affirmations over these
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: baby boys. We're singing those lullabies to those baby boys.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: And when they arrive, how we love on them and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: we hug them and we talk to them and those
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: mommy voices and just give them all those snuggles and
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: loves and we tell them how Jesus loves them. That
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: is planting seeds of faith in that little baby boy.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: And we are the first representation of God's love to
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: these baby boys. Then the next devotional that God, and
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: these all published right within weeks of each other. I'm
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: telling you, during Christmas break, I saw many of five ams.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say. So then the second devotional,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the Growing Years, is for the moms with baby boys
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: seven to eleven. This is also the training ground because
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: this is where his character is starting to be formed.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: This is where repetition really matters. We're starting to establish
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: how to pray, what it looks like every day to
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: talk to God. So this is the training ground, and
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna back up. The Early Years is also the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: planting season. That's what that book represents. So then we're
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: gonna move to these teen years mom of sons. With
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the teens we had already talked about kind of like
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: they're the young men, but them teen years. That's foundation
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: focused and that is where you are strengthening faith. If
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you look at the bottom of each devotional, the first
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: devotional is a Heart Planet in Faith. We're planting. The
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: second devotional is Walking in Faith. We're training. We're teaching
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: our boys how to start having a relationship with God
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: and walk in faith. And the third devotional is Strengthening
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: his faith, which is foundation focused. This is where you're
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: really working on that character and integrity and really encouraging
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: him about his relationship, his walk with God, his identity.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: So all of that comes in to the teen years
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and I wish I had I mean, I have one,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: but I don't know if your readers can see it,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: but this is where you got it. It came through,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: but then it faded out. Put your hand back over
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: there you go, right, all right, there we go, there
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: we go. Okay, this is the fourth devotional that I
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: was telling you about. For the adult son. This is
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: called the adult years. This is living out faith. This
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: is the harvest season for moms because this is where
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: our our position transitions from the everyday teacher instructor to
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: mentorship because they have This is for the eighteen and
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: up sons, So you know, we we transition when they
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: become young adult men and we start more mentoring and
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: more praying and just kind of being a sounding board.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Now we never stop being mom because if they're doing
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: something wrong, like any other mom, I'm gonna tell you
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: about yourself. Definitely not going to not speak and say son,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: that is not the way to go. But when he
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: steps into that adulthood, that manhood. You know, we have
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to respect that. So our our position kind of shifts
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit more to mentor mentoring and praying and
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: prayer covering and praying over the path that he's walking
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and the choices that he's making as an adult young man.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: So there's those are the four devotionals. The blog is
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: a weekly thing right now. There's almost one hundred articles
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: on the blog, from praying over your son, walking and wisdom.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: There's a story on their a post about Jaden where
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I went through a very scary medical situation with him
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: three years ago and he ended up in ic you.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: So it's a mother's faith praying through the storm when
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Brandon went through a very crucial time in his life
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: where the choices he made could have changed the whole
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: direction of his life. The article that you were just
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: there's just so many articles on there. There is you guys.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was just just scrolling. It's like, oh
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I see this, Oh I see this. I'll see that.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: But let me ask you a question. What means you
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: want to write this book? Like what said this needs
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: to help my sisters out? What means you want to
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: write this book? You know. It's all I can tell
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: you is my blog had sat silent for like, I
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: don't know, probably three years, and because I am a
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: woman of faith, and you know, I've always prayed over
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: my sons. We both of them are very active in
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: our church. My oldest teaches our teens and he just
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: got ordained as a minister. Jaden and I both help
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: with our outreach ministry at church, so when he's home
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: from school, we do things for the community at the
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: holidays and during the summer, so he helps out with that.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: And he grew up singing in the youth choir and
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: you know, all of that type of contributing, contributing to
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the house of the Lord. But the Lord spoke to me,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: it's been this month is actually a year that mom
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: of sons was birth very clearly. In June last year,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I had started an article in my blog about faith
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: with Jaden. It was such a scary time. Jaden had
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: some kind of weird bacterial infection that somehow he got
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: fluid in the back of his neck, and they didn't
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: want to come out and say that it was some
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: kind of complication from COVID because he had had COVID.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: The month before, and he didn't have a heavy case
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of it. He did the five days, you know, and
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: what is it when you're locked down? And then he
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: was right and then he was able to go back
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: to school just fine. But somehow that next month in March,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: he developed this. And I won't, you know, go into
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: all the details, but honest to God, it was nothing
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: but the Lord that intervened and we ended up his
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: pediatrician was very thorough and she caught this because I
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: had taken him to the er and they just kept
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: saying it was a viral infection that had to run
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: its course, and he was very, very sick. Well after
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: she got the MRI back and saw the fluid in
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the back of his neck and she's like, bev, no,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: it's not meningitis or anything. I'm not sure what this is,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: but I want you to take him to Cleveland's Rainbow
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: hospital er. So that's how serious it was. I had
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: to call his dad, who had just arrived at work,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: and he knew that we were waiting for these results.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: And as soon as I told him, he was like,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I'll be right there, and he came and swooped us up.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: And that was the longest thirty five minute ride the
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Cleveland I have ever had in my life. Jaden was
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: steady running a temperature between one hundred and three and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: trying to go above of just he was very, very sick. Well,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: once we got there, they discovered this bacterial infection. They
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: you know, ran more tests. But when they said and
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the doctor, his doctor told me because she's been with
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Jaden all his life and she knows me, so she's like, bev,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: they might keep him overnight, So don't get up set.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: He might need to stay overnight. So you know, I'm
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: kind of I'm calm, you know, I'm like, okay, we
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: get there. Long story short, they said they were keeping him.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, oh, okay, they're going to keep him to
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: you know, get this, get the antibiotic, biotic and him
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: and girl. When they let us out, they did not
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: tell us they was taking him to ICU. We got
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: off the elevator. On the ICU floor, I'm looking at
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: his dad and I'm like I asked the nurse walking
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: in front of me. I'm like, are we in the
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: ICU unit? And she's like, yeah, didn't they tell you
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: that's where your son was coming to. I'm like, no,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: He ended up in that hospital for seven days. Four
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: of them were icee you, and at first they weren't
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: even sure what to give him because they didn't even
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: know what kind of bacterial infection they were fighting, and
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: they just they attacked it like I couldn't even I
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: couldn't even tell you. In his iv they were on
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: him every four hours, like clockwork, every four hours, every
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: two hours, they were in there checking his vitals.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: It was the.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Scariest time, one of the scariest times of my life.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: So I had started this story, and I had set out,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: you know, I was writing it to encourage other mothers
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: because God before that had been preparing me. I had
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: been spending time with the Lord. I never considered myself
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: a mourning person, but I had told God about six
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: months before this happened, Lord, I need some different things
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: in my life. I need some things to change. And
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: so He clearly said to me, Okay, if you want
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: something different, you're gonna have to do different. I want
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: the first minutes of your mourning every day. Oh my gosh,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I already had to be at the office at seven,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: so already was getting up at like five in the morning.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: So what I'm telling you, I started getting up at
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: five and I would come in here to my office.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I would get my word out and my devotional and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I would spend the first thirty minutes with the Lord
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: every day. And I'm telling you what I realized later.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: He was working my faith muscle, is what he was doing.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Because if I hadn't been spending that time with the
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Lord and he hadn't been strengthening my faith muscle, I'd
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: have lost it. With my kid up there in ICU,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: he had all kinds of tubes and everything running everywhere,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: and the first twenty four hours they didn't even know
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: what to give him, so they were giving him they
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: were trying different types of antibiotics. I would have never
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have I wouldn't have been able to handle it.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: But I'm telling you I handled it. I kept trusting God.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I did not break down. I did not break down.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: The first time I broke down was after the third
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: night we had been there, and I was up. It
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: was like two o'clock in the morning and I had
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: went to like get me some coffee or something. And
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: the first night, Jaden's dad was in one recliner on
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: one side, and I was in the other one on
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the other side. So we was like nobody was moving
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: out of that hospital. And when I went to get coffee,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: there was this real nice nurse on duty and I
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: don't know, I just I lost it. Then I started
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: crying and she saw me and she was like, miss Wells,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: it's working. She said, Jayden's showing improvement. And I was like, really,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: that's the first time I had heard that. So I'd
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: say this was like the second night going into the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: third day, and she said, yes, she said, the antibiotics
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: that they are giving him, she said, it's fighting the infection.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: And she just hugged me and, you know, just encouraged me.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: And that was the only time that I broke down,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: because my days consisted of getting up early, going to
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the parents' quarters shop, you know, showering gras and a
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: cup of coffee and helping, you know, with Jaden, you know,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: during the day because they started giving him breathing treatments
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: and it was real involved. But on the fourth day
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: they were saying they've seen it turning. It was he
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: it was turning. You have a serious testimony. You would
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: both of your sons, with your the mama sonse devotional series.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. Yes, if you can
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: give a mother, a single mother, a married mother, just
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: a mother of a son in general, if you can
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: give them one piece of advice, what would you say
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: to that mother? What I would say to that mom
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: is always always take your son to the throne of God.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: And remember that you're not just raising a son. You
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: are raising somebody's future husband, future father, spiritual covering and
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: safe place. And God wants kingdom men again, he wants
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: kingdom men. So I would tell her he belongs to
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: God first, and God loves him as much as we
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: love them, God loves them even more. So cover him
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: every day in prayer and ask God to guide his steps.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Don't feel that you can't do this because God chose
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: you specifically to be that young man's mother. There's no
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: coincidence with God, and that's something we have to remember.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: There's no incidents. God is the greatest chess player ever.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: His moves are unmatched. So everything that He does when
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: He gives you that son, he gives you that daughter.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: He chose you specifically for that child. Well, me and
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: God gonna have to talk to see what the son
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: he was playing chess with we've been playing, girl, go
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: give up. Trust me. He got great, great plans for her.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: And and he's refining your patience because I got a
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: wild call and be like looking in this, Oh my God,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: But I'm telling you seriously, we you know, we think
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: about it. But honestly, God, when he gives us those children,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: he specifically chose us because he knew we could handle it.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Even though we might feel like tearing our hair, He
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: still knew. He knew that we were still gonna love them,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: that we still gonna show up for them, that were
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: still gonna pray for them, and that we're still gonna
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: cover them. Yes, yes, yes, Father. But when I get him,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I have a nice seat because this little girl, me
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: and Jesus gonna have to have a long conversation, you know.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I you know, people ask me about, you know, daughters,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, I said, I don't have a
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: lot of experience with daughters. I said, because God gave
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: me sons. I said, Now I got the granddaughters that
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm learning, you know, learning. But one thing I
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: do know about God is he is able and he
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: definitely gives the grace. Lord Crase, Now if you want
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: further research and you can come out with a bomb
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: of daughter series okay, years old that I can ship
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: to you. I mean, okay, yeah, center on that here.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you my granddaughters would love it. Okay, we
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: will exchange addresses. Now, we might send a ups overnight. Okay,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: y'all know me. I'm a clown. I love my baby girl,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: but she keeps me on my toes. And that's what
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I think God does. He gave her to be like,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: oh no, no, no, I got something for you to do.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: And those leaning back chilling, now, get back on your toes.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: That's what I did. He gave me her to put
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: me on my toes. I think, really, I'm serious. I
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: really think God has a sense of humor. I really do.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I tell everybody that I'm serious. I think he really does.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I really think that he has to have a serious
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: sense of human I think God and Jesus be sitting
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: up here. Look at this one. Here, He's right in
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: front of him. We can't come on, daddy, I can't
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: do all right. She just got to figure this out.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I really think that God and Jesus have the most
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: comical minds there is. Because some of the stuff I see.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, only God can come up with
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: something like this, because, girl, you should have saw my
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: family's face when I told him. When I got remarried
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and I told my my mother that, oh, I'm going
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: to give my husband a baby, and Braden had been
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: the only grandchild for like nineteen years, it was I
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: was you better than me because what I did when
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I found it I was pregnant. Literally, I told her
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: because adoptors, I was having bad headaches. So the doctors
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: took me into well the transporter. He said, but we're
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: gonna take you to do some type of tests. When

• 33:45
  Speaker 1: to tell my mama. I told everybody texts. No did
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: she text? Because I was at work. When I finally
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: got up the nerve to tell like I was at work,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: because I knew she would have called me at work,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: you know, or come by house while I'm at work,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: text me. I know it ain't at for foods, This

• 34:15
  Speaker 1: understand that. And I thank God for being a mother. Yes,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: if I hadn't had my son, o the things I
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: haven't done. Girl, I'm telling you, I honestly, God definitely
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. Because I was nineteen. I had
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: just got into college, our local community college and everything.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: So Brandon and my our birthdays are right together minus
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: April twenty third. His is April twenty fourth, So I
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: had just turned twenty when he entered the world. And
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, having those little pairs of eyes when
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: you no there's someone that is little, they're watching you.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: They depend on you. That makes a difference in your
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: choices that you make.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: And I was saying that kept me out of a
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: litt of stuff because I knew I had that little
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: baby boy looking at his mommy.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, and it's crazy because I'm the fifth, my son
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: is the fourth. That's how really right? Yes? When when God,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: hey I'm gonna slow you down real quick, and I
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: want to say something, and I'm my something. Look at me.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: M hmm, I can't see it. But then I'm like, hey,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: big boy, oh mommy love you. Oh. Then I was like,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: oh god, you know exactly what you were doing. Yes, yes,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: I can relate. I relate one hundred I'm telling you.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Having it Brandon kept me out of a lot of situations.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Situation it literally stop me like me too, because you
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: start thinking I have somebody that I am responsible for,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: somebody that is counting on me. You know, it makes
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: you accountable, It does, it does. Yes. So I didn't
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: tell you about our fun segment, but if you looked
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: at any of my shows, I have this fun segment. Well,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: I asked you questions and we use music or movies
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: or TV which are very relatable when it comes to
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: people trying to choose books. Okay, okay, so my fa
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: also I can see go ahead. My favorite channel is Lifetime.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I love that they do a lot of movies about
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: individuals and what they've been through and stuff like that.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Like yesterday, when I was working on some work, I
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: was looking at the Clark Sisters movie. I really do
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: is it good? It's good, Okay, I have to check that.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: It was like I did not even know half of
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: the things, and I did go back and dif my research,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: and the Clark sisters did put a lot of input
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: into this movie. So I like lifetime for stuff like that.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: So it is time for you, my friend, to be
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: in the hots. Lifetime is on the line. And they say,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: you know what, we love the fact that you wrote
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: this book about being a mother to two smart, beautiful,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: brilliant sons, and we would like to make it into
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: a movie. All right, cool, find dandy, But we need
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: to find somebody who's going to play your oldest son.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: But that person has to be a TV actor. Who
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: would you choose to be? And I think you said
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: not Jaden Jady's your younger son, correct? Brandon? Okay? And
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: how and what's the name of your oldest son? Is?
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: How old is he? No? Your name of your oldest
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: son Brandon? Brandon? Who would play Brandon? Any act? TV actor? Lawrence?
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: What's the name Lawrence Tate? Lawrence Tate, Laurence him? Okay? Okay,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: I hear that, man, So why did you choose Lawrence Tate?
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I chose him? Because I love a lot of his books.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: He writes a lot of books for young black men
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: and the things that they deal with. So I like
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: how his mind works and how he in his private life,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: in his personal life, how he walks as a black man.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: All Right, we got Laurn's Teeth for your oldest son,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: your youngest son. His name is Jaden. Who would play Jaden?
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: But it has to be a gospel artist, gospel male artist.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be this is gonna be funny. But
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Brandon Lake would play Jaden. Oh and why did you
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: choose Brandon Lake? Brandon Lake? I was at his concert
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: a few months ago, he came to Cleveland and just
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: listening to him talk about his walk with the Lord
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: and just the wisdom. Jaden is a quiet he doesn't
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: do a lot of talking, but when he opens his
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: mouth and says things, you're shocked at what he's been
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: paying attention to and what he's absorbed. And I got
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: that same feel from Brandon Lake when he was talking
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: about his life and his family and how you know,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: the things that God has taken him through. Wow. Okay, okay, okay.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: So now we have to find somebody who's going to
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: play you, uh huh, because we can't leave the mom
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: out out of it. So who would play you do?

• 41:28
  Speaker 1: she was, and you could tell that she mothered with
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: wisdom and love. And I feel that for me she
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: would be good because I admired a lot of the
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: episodes that I saw how she loved on each one
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: of her kids and they were all different with of
• 41:53

  Speaker 1: just about you in general. Well, I just definitely want
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: to say that this is an assignment that is raight
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: straight from the throne of God. This is his message
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: that he wanted to get out to all the mothers
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: that are raising boys young men. We're talking grandmothers, we're
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: talking aunties, we're talking guardians, we're talking step moms, we're
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: talking God moms. So any woman that God has given
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: the responsibility of a young man's life, mom of sons,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: is for her. The devotionals are made to walk alongside
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: you in whatever season of motherhood you're in. This is
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: something that he just really wants every mother to know.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: And he definitely wants moms to know they are not
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: alone in this. And he definitely wants you to know
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: that it is never too early to introduce your son
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: to his son, nor is it ever too late to
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: introduce your son to his son. Well, thank you, of course,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: we thank you for being with us tonight. We done laugh.
