  SPEAKER_00: Entire world.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: Voted one of, and that's out of five.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: I thought it was seven, but it's out of five.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: And so I am one of.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: Voted, meaning my voice is used and cloned for so many different things.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: And you might be using it right now, I don't know.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: But uh but I'm grateful, you know.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: I'm grateful and thankful.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: I know that AI hasn't been very kind to a lot of people.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: At least that's what you guys tell me, that's what I hear.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: But for me, it's only enhanced my talent, it's totally enhanced it, guys.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: Totally.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm grateful to the Lord Almighty.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: I'm totally grateful.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: I'm grateful to God because so many more people have had the chance to hear my voice, want to use my voice.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: I work for two major companies, not gonna name them, two major companies that clone my voice out.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: So my voice, when people go through listen to different voices, I have two major companies.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: I have two different voices.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: My voice right here, which is I call the radio voice.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: And of course, it's also my regular voice, speaking voice as well.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: So one is slightly pitched higher than the other, but they're pretty much similar, if you know what I mean.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: So when the company tell me it's so many people when they come looking for a voice that they want to use for their ads or their podcast or whatever, they said Miss Warren, you get so many hits that is just crazy.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: And so that's how I've been voted one of the top voice over personalities in the entire world.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: One of the top.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: And they can also take this voice and clone it and have it, you know, for different languages as well.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: I do speak several languages, that's true.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: But they can also take my voice and someone say if they're in another country and they want to use my voice, they can use it and whoever that they are working for can actually turn it into their language, if that makes any sense.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know, but I I want to say that before I start my topic tonight.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: So I want to thank all of you so much for using this voice and for choosing me as one of the top voice over personalities in the entire world.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: Now I didn't say the number one, I said one of.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: And I like that better.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: I I I'm kind of sticking on this right now because a lot of people say you're nominated for this and you're nominated for that.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to be nominated for anything because that means I gotta run against a bunch of people.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: And I let other people have that opportunity, let them do it.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: But for you to vote me one of the top, I mean God means seven eyes.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: Means a lot.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: So a lot of you out there, you know, you there's a lot of Regina voices out there now.

• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: It pays very well for me, and I love it.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: So I try to keep this voice tuned up by you know doing the right thing, drinking tea and you know, stuff like that, water.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: I have to try to keep it tuned up because if you got a car and you want it to last for years and years and years and years, well, you gotta take care of it, you know, and so I'm thankful to God for that opportunity to be one of the top in the world.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: And I thank AI for that, because if if it wasn't for AI, a lot of you would have never heard me, other than the ones who follow my podcast.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of you, thousands of you follow my podcast.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: I do have a lot of followers, but if it wasn't for AI, those out there who's looking for Retina Sorin's little voice, you get to use it.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, one of the companies, well both of them, but one of the companies I that I I work and use, they said, This is totally unbelievable how when people are searching for that perfect voice, your voice just gets hit.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: Like, as soon as the person started looking, they they go down to listen, they just hear your voice, and they just almost quickly choose my voice.

  SPEAKER_00: I mean a real friend that would do anything for you.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: I'm talking about real friend.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: You know, a real friend to me is the one that I hate to say it, that'll die for you.

• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: All times.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: They don't love you in the good times.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: A real friend loves you at all times, the good times, bad times, the sad times, the cheerful times, the festive times.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_00: They love you at all times, a real friend.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: And when you're at your lowest, in your lowest valley, because a lot of us go through dark times, a real friend still loves you.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: And matter of fact, they love you even more at your darkest times, your darkest moments.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: A real friend loves you at all times.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: I realized who my real friends were about two years ago.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you guys know when Laura died, that was the darkest time of my life back in 2020.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: That was the darkest time of my life ever.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: But God, He picked me up.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: With time and prayer, He brought me out of that situation.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: I ended up going back into the work field, you know.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I'm a person that likes working for myself, you know, but I ended up going back into the work work field, so I ended up working at a hospital, a very well-known hospital, one of the top.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: I ended up working there, and slowly but surely I made a friend at that first hospital.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: Not the second one, but the first one.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_00: I may touch on the second one too when I in this topic.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: I made some friends there, and you know, I'm the one that chooses people, you know, slowly as a friend.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: I just don't jump there.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: That's my friend.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: That's my friend right there.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: Because people could just be acquaintances, acquaintance, or well anyway.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_00: I started working at this job in 2023, I believe.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: 2023.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, 2022.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, 2022, yeah.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: I started working at this hospital in 2022.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_00: So I was there in 23, and at 24, you know, some things kind of happened and I couldn't work anymore, so I just wasn't working.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: So this particular lady whom I thought was my bestie, man, she was, I mean, she uh sometimes you can brag on people a little bit too much, but I really thought she was everything, just one friend.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: It was three people that was friends, but this one I just thought that she would just be there no matter what, because I even made a podcast about her a while back and saying what a wonderful person that she w was or is or whatever at the time.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: And so, anyways, back in 2024, a week before Christmas, you know, some things came out, some things happened in my life where I wasn't able to actually work there anymore.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: So I was kind of going through a very low valley again, about to sink it back into that low, low breakdown valley where I were when Laura passed away.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: But thank God God lifted me out of that.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: And he did it very quickly.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_00: But it was this one friend who I thought was gonna be their man.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if I worshiped I think I say I worshiped her, but I kind of put her on a pedestal.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_00: But in my darkest moments, from the end of 2024 around Christmas to that whole entire year, which is 2025, I realized that this person didn't call me, we didn't talk, she just disappeared off the face of the scene.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: She loved me while I was at the job, she she she was there, she was my right or die, but when I was no longer there, she she almost like disappeared, totally disappeared.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: And it kind of shocked me a little bit because I'm like, I thought that she was just a real friend.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: I really thought that, you know, she had followed my podcast, and you know, she was a subscriber, and and not not just that, but you know, I even made a podcast about the lady for God's sake.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: But guys, let me tell you, I found out that this person was not my friend.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_00: And the way you can find out if a person is really your friend is in your darkest hour, in your darkest moments.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: And as I told you, I started to sink it back in a kind of a dark place for a moment, just moment, just for a moment, you know.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: So sometimes God'll let these things happen so we can, you know, depend on the Lord.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: So 2024, December, January, February, March, I mean, I would have thought that for my birthday at least that this lady would have remembered my birthday.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_00: And she sent a little text message saying happy birthday, that was it.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: For her birthday, I I rolled out the red carpet when I was still at the other job.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: It was a beautiful thing that I did for this lady.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: And she just she just showed me who she was.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_00: And I realized God's God spoke to my heart in this moment that you should never ever put anybody up that high.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, I mean, thank God for people in your life, but I was just it was always everything.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_00: I had started to even feel like she was kind of like my sister Lori, you know?
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_00: But man, I realized that this lady was not my friend like I thought.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: I would always be the one to call.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_00: You know, when I was going through the the Little Valley, she didn't call unless I call her.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: Almost like it was a happiness.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_00: A gleeful happiness that I wasn't around.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: You know, because you got friends like that too.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_00: They want you to do good, but they don't want you to be better than them.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: And it was almost like it was a gleeful happiness that I wasn't there, you know.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: One lady that that I didn't expect to be there for me was there, you know, another lady.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_00: But this friend that I thought would be there no matter what, oh god, she would be there.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_00: She wasn't there.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_00: She wasn't there.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: Phone calls dried up if I didn't call her, and I was like, hey, let me just not call her and see what she got me.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_00: True enough, she didn't call.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: A real friend is going to love you at all times, in the good times, in the bad times, in the darkest moments.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_00: A real friend, I tell you, is going to be there for you.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: They're gonna be there.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm not saying be there to pity you, because I don't like pity, but they're gonna be there with encouraging words and encouragement, and this person all but dried up, all but just evaporated.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: And the Lord spoke in my heart to say, see, that's what I'm talking about.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_00: You you you put the highest roses on this lady.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: You did.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_00: And I did, I did, and God just showed me, don't do that, don't do that.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: She turned out to be not a real friend.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_00: I don't like to say I heard some things, but sometimes I hear things and I you know people can hear things and it could be true and not true, but certain things got back to me from some very real sources, and I'm like, oh my god.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_00: So I just want to say tonight that a person who is a real friend, and I know you out there, do you have a real friend in your life right now?
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_00: I'm talking about a real friend that would be there for you that you can talk to that do you have do you have that out there in your life?
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm just asking the question, do you?
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_00: Because I truly, truly thought this lady was a real friend.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_00: And we haven't talked now since this is 2026.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_00: We haven't talked at all this year, at all this year.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: I think we talked the last time we talked was the end of 2025, I think it was a little bit.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_00: I think maybe but this year nothing.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_00: Zip zero.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_00: You know, so I just want to say, if you got a real friend out there, and I've had some real friends in my life, I mean some total real friends, who pray with you and pray for you, and you you know, you pray for one another because that's what it's all about at the end of the day.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: I do have some real prayer warriors in my life.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_00: I thank God for them, you know.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_00: I thank God for El Dolina Davis, he's and his family.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: They're real prayer warriors, kind of setting them apart from like a real friend, so like a friend that you, you know, talk to all the time.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_00: But I found out that this lady wasn't my real friend, not at all, as they say in in Britain, not at all.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: I found out that she wasn't, and it was so heartbreaking because a whole year, no talk, a whole year, uh two phone numbers, you know, both of those numbers, but yet nothing.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: If I don't call you, then you don't call me.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_00: So I sometimes I can't always call people because I am a busy person.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of people say I'm busy, busy, busy.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: And a lot of times they're talking about busy going to the store, going to get groceries, going to I mean I'm really busy, guys.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: Busy with my personal things that I do.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_00: My business, my brand, brand, not brand, brand.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_00: And then my life, you know, I work at work at the hospital helping people.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_00: But but I learned that this person was not a real friend at all.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_00: Not at all.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: And I and I look back and I think I ran across the podcast that I had dedicated to her and made about her the other day.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_00: I hope I deleted it, you know.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_00: I hope I did.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_00: But at the time, I really everything I said on that podcast, I really meant it at that time.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: But God just let me know that elevator that you were on for that lady came all the way crashing to the ground because I realized that was not a real friend at all.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_00: That was not a real friend at all.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_00: Because a real friend, if you you don't hear from that friend, you're gonna be concerned about them.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I know I do.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_00: People that I call friends, I if I'm concerned about you, I'm gonna call you.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_00: How are you doing?
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_00: What's up?
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I mean I'm gonna check on you to see how you are.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_00: Because that's just me, guys.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_00: That's that's the me inside of me.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_00: But everybody's not like that.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_00: If you got a real friend, they're gonna love you at all times.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_00: They're gonna be there for you at all times.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_00: And when you realize the realest friends are the ones who are there for you in those dark times, those dark moments.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so thankful to the Lord that He quickly lifted me out of that dark moment.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_00: Because, you know, I felt myself sinking back into it.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_00: You know, a person that gives the way I do.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_00: My cup sometimes is is is not always full, it's full enough, but it's not always full.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_00: And so people take from that cup because I'm a very positive person, I'm not negative.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_00: So people will come to me for this, for this, for this, for this.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, sometimes the person who's giving out all that water, they need water to you.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_00: I know some of you know what I'm talking about, but if you guys get a real friend out there, I'm telling you right now, hold on tight, hold on tight to that real friend because everybody that says that they're your friend, they're not.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_00: They're just there for the moment.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody that says that they're your real friend, they're not.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_00: They're just there for the good times.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_00: You find out who a real friend are when you go through your darkest moments.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_00: Or just it don't even have to be a dark, dark moment.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_00: It could just be things that you you go through, you know.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_00: You find out who the real friends are, and it's not always about with me, it's not about I want your money, send me money, send it's not that, it's a conversation thing with me, keeping in touch with me, seeing how I Doing.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_00: Same thing I do for you.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_00: And I realized at that moment I was like, mmm.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_00: I realized who really was my real friends.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_00: Even people that I thought was was the ones, they wasn't either.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_00: And of course, I don't include family in this because I'm not really that close to family.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_00: And I hate that.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't, that's a whole nother situation right there.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: You know, sometimes jealousy can just it's almost like with Cain and Abel.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't want to even go through that.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_00: So family, I'm not gonna even talk about family tonight.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_00: I'm talking about this lady who I thought was just everything.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_00: I mean God.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_00: She wasn't.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_00: She wasn't.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_00: We're at the end of 2026 almost.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_00: We haven't spoken, haven't talked, you know.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_00: The few times that I tried to call her to say, hi, what's up, you know, couldn't reach her.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_00: And like, yeah, I don't want to hear that people are so busy.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_00: Because if you want to do something, you're gonna do it.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't, it's an excuse.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_00: I think that's a quote.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_00: If you want to do something, you're going to do it.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't do it, it's an excuse.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_00: It becomes an excuse at that point.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_00: And like I say, with all the things that I have to do, all the things that's on my plate that that I have to do, oh Lord.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_00: I have a lot of things that I do that people don't know about.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_00: They see me and they think, uh, but they don't know all the things I that I have to do.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_00: I have to make a schedule for even for my own schedule.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_00: I I have to make a schedule for my schedule, you know, because oh good lord, I I have to because my life, especially with the podcast growing, didn't didn't imagine in a million years that this podcast would become so huge and it's still getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_00: Thank god my head is not getting bigger.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_00: Thank God for that.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_00: But the podcast has gotten so so relatable.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of people resonate with a lot of the things that I'm saying in this podcast.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_00: So I just hope tonight that you guys can take something from this.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_00: Never ever put people on the highest pedestal because sometimes that pedestal will fall down and crash to the ground.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_00: Only the Lord deserves the highest pedestal, friend wise.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_00: And I think God let me realize with this particular lady that you just always depended on this lady for everything.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_00: Everything.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_00: Don't ever put a another human being on that kind of a pedestal.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_00: Don't do it.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_00: The Lord only deserves that.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_00: And like I said, you know, I would have never thought three years ago that I would be making a podcast about this friend and about how how, like I said, like an elevate elevator at the top, how it just came so quickly crashing to the ground.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_00: So never think that a person is your friend forever and ever and ever and ever and ever.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_00: Don't ever think that because they're not.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_00: Ever.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_00: To God be the glory in my life.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_00: I I I'm trying to make sure I give God his props, but he wants all of that praise.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_00: Because if you give the Lord all of that praise, all of your praise, trust and believe.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_00: You do that, if you out there do that, you know, if if I be lifted up, I draw all men.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_00: Let the Lord do the drawing.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_00: Lift him up, put him on the highest pedestal, which I do that, but he wants all the praise.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_00: All of it.
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm so thankful to the Lord tonight that I have learned to choose friends wisely.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_00: I've learned to not put people up way up there like I had this lady just really just too high, you know.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_00: But she showed me in the end that and it it it hurts.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_00: Even when I think about it, it st it goes beyond stinging, you know, something sting you, sting you a little bit.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_00: It goes beyond that.
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_00: It just absolutely hurt to the core, to the bone.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_00: It hurts, you know.
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_00: But but God, the situation I was in at that first hospital that I was at, God didn't want me there.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_00: If he did, he wouldn't have taken me out of that situation.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_00: God didn't sometimes God will intervene in our lives.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna put God in the picture again.
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_00: He will intervene if he don't want you in a certain place, if he don't want certain people in your life, he'll intervene.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't do something yourself, God will come through and he'll intervene and he'll do it quickly.
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_00: And that's what he did.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_00: Good hospital, good benefits, good everything.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_00: But the wrong people in my life there.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_00: I do not regret at all not being at that hospital.
• 28:09
  SPEAKER_00: I don't regret it.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_00: I'm thankful that I'm not there.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_00: I'd be giving God praises all the time.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_00: God, thank you for reaching down and taking me out of that situation over there at the other hospital.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_00: Because me myself, I wouldn't have never just left all those friends alone.
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_00: And that lady she was one of the ring leaders on another shift.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_00: But bilky, built in mouth.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and and God knew God was like, okay, if you can't take yourself out of this situation, guess what?
• 29:37
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna remove you myself.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_00: And he did.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_00: He did.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_00: 2024 at the end of it, he did that to God because God gave me many chances to to do what I was supposed to do, and I didn't do it.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_00: So God said, Okay, I'm coming through like a storm, watch out and he did.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_00: And so God just didn't want me in that particular at that at that particular hospital.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_00: God didn't want me there.
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_00: He didn't want me there.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't want and it's a great place.
• 30:17
  SPEAKER_00: It's a beautiful place, a wonderful place to work at and all of that benefits, great pay.
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_00: But I don't regret not being there at all.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_00: I don't regret it.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_00: You can't you can't pay me to go back there.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_00: That's how much I'm happy that I'm not there.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and another place, you know, I'm able to stay to myself and be myself.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_00: I met another friend here at the hospital I met.
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_00: Now she passed away a couple of months ago.
• 30:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'll never forget her name was Adeline.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_00: A wonderful lady to mean.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody said she was mean, but to me she would not that was a friend.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_00: A friend would not let other people, you're sitting in the midst of other people, a friend would not let no one talk about you.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_00: And if anybody ever said anything about me in her company, she would read them their rights right there and then walk away.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_00: And she was a real friend.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_00: I miss her when she passed away of cancer.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_00: I miss her.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_00: But I was her friend even when she first got diagnosed with cancer.
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_00: I was her friend.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_00: I was there for her.
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_00: I was there.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I would go by her house before work, I would, you know, help her financially, she wasn't working.
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_00: I did a lot of stuff for her.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_00: You don't wait till a person die to do for them.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of times people will wait until you're dead or half dead or whatever to do for you.
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of people don't do until they see you down and and then they try to do for you.
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_00: Or think you're gonna die.
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_00: And then it but even that a lot the job didn't reach out to her, it didn't do anything for her.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_00: But she was so grateful that Lulmean thought about her, went by her house, took her groceries, hung out with her, sat there with her, you know, just held her hand, said, you know, it's gonna be alright.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_00: She was in my life for a very short time, but she was a real, real friend.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_00: Adeline Chapman.
• 32:13

• 32:20
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna take up flowers.
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_00: We I say, look, you guys can do what you want to do.
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_00: I did for her when she could smell those flowers, when she could smell those roses.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_00: You do for people when they can smell it, when they can touch it, when they can see it.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_00: She don't know what they're doing now.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_00: You're taking up money.
• 32:39
  SPEAKER_00: People take up little money and funds and come together.
• 32:43
  SPEAKER_00: Again, a real friend, a real person that cares about you is gonna be there for you in your lifetime.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_00: Not when you're dead or half dead.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_00: They're gonna be there.

  SPEAKER_00: I was thinking about you.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_00: Not oh you came across my mind today.
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I left several organizations because of that.
• 33:09
  SPEAKER_00: Because uh people would be right in the town where you are, pass right by you where you live, and say, You crossed my mind today, instead of saying, Hey, can I stop by to see you or you know, because my daughter's open to to the real women, men and women of God.
• 33:28
  SPEAKER_00: But that organization, oh no, we were on our way to six lives, on our way somewhere, you know, just which you crossed my mind.
• 33:37

  SPEAKER_00: Concerned about your soul.
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_00: Very concerned.
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_00: And and I could tell when she died, it was like I looked out the window, I was like, my life is over.
• 34:09
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I don't know why I said that, I guess I was in shock.
• 34:14
  SPEAKER_00: But a real friend, again, is gonna love you at all times.
