  Her name is Tanya, and when we worked together in AAA back in 2007 to 2014,
• 0:22
  we had a blast. We just did everything that you can imagine as far as helping people.
• 0:30
  She helped me a lot in regaining my trust in myself.
• 0:36
  She gave me confidence and she built up this beast inside of me to become a
• 0:42
  fearless person of faith.
• 0:44
  Her name is Tanya and today's episode is dedicated to her.

  Let It Begin On a Friday edition An early introduction We want to thank each
• 1:03
  and every one of you for watching us live Also on TikTok I want to tell you
• 1:07
  this story About a colleague of mine You know,
• 1:10
  we work in different environments Boston's in the house, welcome And when we're
• 1:15
  working in our environments We will find people That God put in our path.
• 1:23
  And one of the coolest things that happened to me back in 2007 was that I was
• 1:28
  blessed to be training at the time to work as AAA switchboard.
• 1:34
  And I was training with the young lady by the name of Tanya.
• 1:38
  And Tanya and I, we just hit it off very well. We were so eager to do our jobs
• 1:44
  and to do it to the best of our ability.
• 1:45
  What we didn't know is we had a common friend and that was our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
• 1:51
  And Tanya and I battled many storms together, many storms as far as our faith
• 1:58
  is concerned, many storms about our colleagues at work, individual storms.
• 2:04
  And you know what was really cool? What's up, Tim?
• 2:06
  What was really cool is that whenever she was down, I was able to pick her up.
• 2:11
  Whenever I was down, she was able to pick me up. How many people.
• 2:17
  That you encounter with on a daily basis do the same for you.
• 2:21
  In addition to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who continuously is there
• 2:25
  for us, it's our co-pilot, our GPS, our individual that continues to inspire
• 2:30
  us to be a better person because he created us in his image.
• 2:34
  How often can you say that you have a true friend at heart?
• 2:38
  Well, Tanya is one of those people. You know, we can stop talking for about a year.
• 2:44
  I can call her as if we pick up our conversation right where we left off.
• 2:49
  I have a lot of friends like that.
• 2:51
  I have friends like Chip, friends like Freddie, friends like Brian,
• 2:55
  friends like Tanya, friends like Ian, friends like Nick and Tom.
• 2:59
  Friends like Justin, that we can do that.
• 3:02
  But one of the coolest things about having a friend that you can pick up and
• 3:06
  just where we left off is knowing that Jesus is our saving grace,
• 3:12
  that Jesus is the person that connects us.
• 3:15
  Someone like Raven, who comes into our live from time to time.
• 3:18
  I met her just on TikTok. I met Boston on TikTok. I met Nighthawk on TikTok. I met Tim on TikTok.
• 3:26
  And every once in a while, we find ourselves locking up and meeting up with
• 3:31
  each other and saying to ourselves, We have something in common So here's my
• 3:36
  message for all of you today The message is quite simple,
• 3:40
  When you are driving your vehicle When you are driving your workforce or work
• 3:46
  environment When you are out and about.
• 3:49
  Always know that the GPS that is in our minds And our thoughts and our hearts
• 3:55
  Is run by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
• 3:59
  Sometimes the GPS will steer us Always in the right direction but it'll give us reroutes.
• 4:06
  You'll have different detours and our faith gets tested but you want to know something,
• 4:13
  it doesn't matter because at the end of the day those friends that you are those
• 4:18
  friends that you are associated with those friends that god has put in our path,
• 4:23
  will always put you back on the right road to righteousness so today i want
• 4:29
  you to think about all the people that have been put in your life and it's not
• 4:33
  by accident god doesn't make mistakes,
• 4:36
  He does it because he knows that all of us at one point or another will do things,
• 4:42
  will inspire things, will inspire others.
• 4:46
  But more importantly, we'll have this joy and compassion and love for one another.
• 4:54
  Honor your neighbor as you love yourself. Respect yourself and respect others.
• 5:00
  And you will find, just like I was about to say, trust and faithfulness in God.
• 5:04
  Amen to you, Nyok. Let's pray.
