• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I do have some poetry books by myself, but most
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of them are collaboration products. But that's not why we're

  Speaker 1: Shout out to those that are tuned in on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: substat TikTok, thank you guys for joining me this morning.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Scripture is gonna come from Second Corinthians for eighteen and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: it beats as follow as we look not to the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: things that are seen, but to the things that are unseen.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I tell you that scripture right there is safe, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that's what we have been talking about all this time.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: And it coincides with our morning prayer. And when I
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: tell you, God is intentional about these things, because we
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: don't use this over on the prayer line. We totally
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: use something different. We don't use any books on the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: prayer line. We just come on and inter se So
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it's just the Holy Spirit moving through those that decide
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: to come on. So we just come on and whoever
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: decide that they want to pray that day, they get
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to pray that day. And that's how we run the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: prayer line. So when I tell you, God is truly
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: intentional about the things that he wants us to do
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: in our life. I wrote this book in December. Matter
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of fact, it was published December sixth of twenty twenty four.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: And every one of these for the last twelve days,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: every one of these devotions, every one of these scriptures
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: have totally been lining up with what we have been
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: in prayer about. And remind you we don't. It is
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: not an organized prayer line like that, Like we have
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a way of going on in praying, but it's not
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: like we have a certain thing that we're gonna do
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: every time. No, we the Holy Spirit moves. So I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: say that to say this, when when you watch and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: see what God is doing, like everything that I'm doing
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: is like everything is lining up. When things line up
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: like that, you have to know that you're in the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: right place, even when you don't understand. And every scripture
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: that we have been sharing has been all about our
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: faith and stretching our faith. Go back, even go back
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: to the first day we talked about Philippians. Philippians three
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and fourteen say, I press on towards the goal the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: price of the upward calling to Christ Jesus. Pressing even
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: when you don't want to, even when things don't when
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: when when things don't seem right, when things are uncertain,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: when you when you can't even see past past two
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: feet you you, you, you press on towards the calling
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: of They too, They too was for we walk by faith,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: not by sight. We walk by faith, not by sight.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Like a lot of us are going through and just
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: be transparent and be honest with ourselves. A lot of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: us may be going through some things. But because you're
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: going through something does not disqualify you, does not say that, oh,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you cannot still have whatever it is you're you're pressing towards,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: that you're reaching towards those goals that you set It
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: does not just because you have a setback, just because
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you have something that came to hinder you for a moment,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: does not mean that you have to stop and that
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you have to quit doing that that He told you
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to do. No, you have to keep going. Day three,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: it's say for this hope we were saved, not hope
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that it's seeing. It's not hope for who hopes for
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: what he sees? Y'all, everything that we've been on Day three?
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: What is day three? A reminder yet again? Faith? Day four?
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Now faith, it's assurance of things, hope for the convention
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: of things not seen again? Is it not aligning? Is
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: it not aligning? If if if I'm off course, if
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: if I'm out of order, please let me know. Day five,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: blessed of those who have not seen yet believe? Is
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: that not talking about our faith? Is that not talking
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: about those things that we've not yet seen but yet
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: hopeful that we are yet pressing towards that we yet
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: believe can happen. Yeah. Day six, set your mind on
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the things that are above and not on the things
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: that are on earth. So we we've always been told
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: that if we seek Ye first, the Kingdom of heaven
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: that all things will be added. So what that aligned to? Right?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: If we put him first, then we can have all things,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: not some things, but all things, y'all. Yeah, we just
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: we Day twelve. So now Day seven says we reflected
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: on everything that we went over, and the scripture came
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: out of Hebrews eleven. But now faith, so then they
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: eight we went on over James one six say, but
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: let him act in faith without doubting. For one who doubts,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: it's like a way they see that it's driven and
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: tossed by the winds. So we believe it's like we
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: pick it up. We believe we pick it up, we
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: give it to him, and then we take it back.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: We give it to him, and then we take it
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: back like we throw that rod out there and we
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: hope something go, and then something start back, and then
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: we start pulling it, and then we don't let it
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: stay out there long enough to eat the bait and
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: pull it all the way in, y'all, we got to
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: give it to him, like we can give him his
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: word back. We can tell we can tell our father
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: his word. We can we can give it back to him, y'all.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: He wants he wants to know that we know his
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: word and his promises. If he wants us to give
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: it back to him. He wants us to speak it
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: over our own lives. He wants us to put it
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: out in the atmosphere, y'all, those things that he's promised us.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Day nine, Mark eleven, twenty three. Truly, I say to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: whoever says to the mountain be taken up thrown in
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: believe that what he says will come to pass, It
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: will be done for him. Day nine. That was Day nine,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: y'all again testing your faith. Well, what are you believing
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: him for? What are you trusting him for? What are
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: you believing him for? What are you trusting him for?
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: He keep reminding you that he has not forgotten you. Hey,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: keep trusting, keep believing, but keep working, keep doing what
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to do. Don't just stand there and hope
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that something's gonna happen. You gotta keep moving. You gotta
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: keep you gotta keep working. You gotta keep doing your podcasts,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: your magazines. You gotta keep doing whatever it is that
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: he told you to do. Like you gotta keep work,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: putting in time, the day ten, y'all, Day ten, Matthews
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: fourteen thirty one. Jesus immediately reached out his hand and
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: took hold of him, saying to him, oh, you little
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: tle faith, why did you doubt? That's some prayers that
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: we pray, and an as soon as we come up
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: from the prayer, we gonna start worrying again. We don'na
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: start stressing again. And that's how when we go to church,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: we go to the altar, we call for alter call,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: we get prayer, and then we go back home, and
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: then we worry about the same stuff that were supposed
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to left at the altar. Yeah, that that's what that
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: scripture is talking about. Day Levin. That was this was yesterday, y'all.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: It says it says, be still and no that I
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I I am God. He said, be still and know
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: that I am God. So you gotta be still. You
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: can't be all over the place. You can you can't
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: be stressing. You gotta be still, he said, be still. Yeah,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: he might be trying to tell you something, he might
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: be trying to give you some instructions. But you all
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: over the place, you're worrying. You you're getting depressed, you're
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: anxious you're doing all this when he says, be still,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: just be still and trust him. Know that he is God.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: You gotta know, he said, know that he is God.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Know it. And then today a reminder, as we look
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: not to the things that are singing, So we don't
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: don't look at all the stuff that's going on around us.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: We don't look at the president that's in the White House,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: we don't look at all of the everything that's going on,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: all of the history that's trying to be a RaSE.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: We don't look at all of those things that's going
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: on around us. Okay, we don't look at that. He said,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: don't look at those things. He said, don't look at
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: those things. But but to the things that are unseen.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: We got to trust in his promise because he told us,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: he told us back here, some promises he some promises
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: that he had. And then if you go over and
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you pick up your Bible or your Karan or whatever else,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the names of the different types of references spiritual references
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that we have nowadays, if you go to it, you
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: can see for yourself what it says. So I say
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: this today your affirmation, This is the affirmation for today,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: my vision is not limited by sight. I see in
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the eyes of faith. And when you see in the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: eyes of faith, how do you see? How do you see?
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Because you can't see as in the natural, you got
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: to see in the spirit. So you got to you
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: got to be able to visualize those things to be
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: able to see those things. So you got to be
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: able to vision to see the vision. So then you
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: got to clear your mind so you can see clear
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: because you want to see clear the vision. Okay, again,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: my vision is not limited by sight, not not limited
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: by what I see, not limited by all of the distractions.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: But but I see in the eyes of faith. So
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: those things that I can't see, it's what I trust.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Those things that I can't see, those promises that he
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: promised me, those those those things that I can go
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and I can read in his word because his word
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: is true. So try umph for his word, give him
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: his word back when in doubt. Two, go read his word.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: His word is the truth. And his word will make
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: you free. Don't set you free, it will make you free. Okay,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: So y'all, the poem for today is and then I'm
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: gonna get on out your way. Ain't gonna before you
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: long ain't gonna before you long. I'm gonna move on,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: not your way. I'm gonna move on not your way. Okay.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: So the poem for today is Unseen Worlds reveals their
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: grace where my spirit finds its place. Eyes of faith
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: look beyond in unseen realms. I am fine. Again, Unseen
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: worlds reveal their grace where my spirit finds it's placed.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Eyes of faith look beyond in unseen realms. I am fine.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: That's that piece, y'all. And if y'all want some additional
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: reading to go along with the devotion for today, you
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: can go over to Second Timothy chapter one, verse seven, sep.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Second Timothy, Chapter one, verse seven. Again, I hope that
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: you were encouraged by something that I shared. Like always
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I I always want to be obedient on this journey,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: and this is, like I said, this is something totally new.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Just wanted to be obedient in this season. I am
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: currently not doing anything in particular. I normally would be
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: in school around this time, so I would be like
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: focused on school or whatever, but I am not in
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: school right now, so I had some time. And this
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: was one of the things a lot of people kept
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: mentioning to me that I don't talk about my my books.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I don't talk about a lot of the things that
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I have, And yeah, I have a lot of them.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of books. Most of them are
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: inspirational books, most of them are devotionals. I do have
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: some urban literature, some urban lit, some street lit around
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: mental health. I I I do my I focus on
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: mental health and domestic violence because that's one of the
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: things that I have struggled with. Those that know me
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: know that I struggle with depression and unlive in attempts.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: So I've had some issues. But I've become a mental
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: health advocate and do a lot to try to advocate
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: and bring awareness to mental health and trauma, y'all, because
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: we all deal with trauma, and whether we want to
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, you know, we all go through
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: some issues with mental health. We all of us have
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: some something going on in our mental and it's up
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: to us to stay on top of our mental and
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: to make sure that we are mentally fit, just like
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: we are physically fit. You know, we make sure that
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: we are physically okay, we have to make sure that
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: we are mentally okay, and we have to make sure
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: that we are spiritually okay as well, like we want
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: to be. If we want to be whole people, we
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: have to make sure that we are truly whole. And
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: how do we make sure that we are truly whole?
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: We have to make sure that all parts of us
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: is well right. You can't be physically and spiritually okay
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: if you're not mentally okay, because it's gonna be something
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: off and it's gonna throw everything else off. When we're
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: not spiritually. When you're not spiritually whole, then it mess
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: with your mental. It messed with your physical And when
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: you're not physically okay, when you're not physically hole, it
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: messed with your spiritual and it mess with your mental.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: And we all know that because we when we go
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to the when we go to the doctors and stuff,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: y'all know how our blood pressure be acting up when

  Speaker 1: what you go through, and learn the steps to get
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: over those things. And if you're dealing with different things
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: that may come up and reoccur, like depression. Depression is
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: one of those things that may come on at any
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: time that's not given a season whatever, and it never
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: goes away. It's something that may come on. You may
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: you may battle with depression, and you may not have
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: depression for say maybe three four months, and then something
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: happens and then here you go and there you are
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: going through depression. You bottle with depression, but then you
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: know what you're dealing with. For me, now that I
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: know what I'm dealing with, I can feel it when
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: it comes on. I know the triggers, I know some
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: of the things that you know. I need to step
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: away from when this is when I'm feeling this a
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: way so that this does not happen. You know, when
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: you know things are happening, and you know things are
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: about to happen, then you have to prepare for those things. Y'all.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: You have to be proactive, so you have to watch
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: what you eat. You have to watch what you're doing,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: like you got to make sure you exercise. You have
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: to follow those things. If your doctor has given you
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: suggestions and given you things that you can do, y'all
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: do that. Even if you don't want to take the medications. Y'all,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: there are things that you can do that can help you.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: And we don't tell nobody what they can and cannot do.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: But it's just like you want to do the best
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: that you can do for yourself. So that means what
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: can you control? So I can control what I eat,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: so what I do if I want if I want energy,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: if I want more of this, I want more of that,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I can control these things so that I start getting
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: things that will help me with energy. I start with
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: some smoothies. Smoothies are good, and you get some more vegetables,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: more fruits, and then you figure out what works for you,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: what helps you? And then not only does these things
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: help you, you find out then you start seeing your
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: body change, You start seeing the weight drop, you start
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: seeing the glow, you start seeing different things change about you,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: and then your whole energy change, and then your homones
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and everything changed, Like your energy never changed. Like I
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: may not look like I'm the healthier person right now,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: and I'm not, but I remember when I was walking,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: y'all and walking those five miles every day, and those
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: that follow me, they I'm sure they can recollect those
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: times because if they know, they probably like, yeah, you
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: was a lot skinnier than Miss Angela. Yeah I was,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we used to really watch what we eat.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: When I was down at Murder Beach with my sister,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: we watched what we ate. We we took times where
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: we took a break from food, I mean from like meat.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: We did three four or five six months at a
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: time where we had no meat. We just did all
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: things vegetables and just had more vegetables and fruits. And
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: then when we did eat meat, we ate like turkey,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: lean ground beef, and we really stayed away from ground beef.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: We really just did a lot of turkey tried to
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: stay away from a lot of chicken. But those are
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: some things that I did and some things that I
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: incorporated when I wanted to change up my lifestyle. And
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: you know, that's just, you know, we have to do
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: what's best for us. Because sometimes I like to fast,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: and sometimes I may just go on a fast and
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: spree and fast for sixty to thirty days where I
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: just fast every day to six o'clock and I eat
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: one meal a day, and I be good with that.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it takes them getting used to, but I
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: be good with that, Like I look forward to that
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: one meal. I enjoy that one meal. I sit there
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: and I enjoy that one meal and I try to
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: have it. And it's discipline. And when I go through
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: that discipline phase, I see a lot of things line
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: up in my life. And y'all, those those are times
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: when I'm learning to be intentional and I'm teaching myself
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: to be intentional about those things, and then I can
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: see a lot of things lining up. Like when we
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: like a lot of you guys, a lot of you
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: guys are influences. Y'all. Come on here, y'all, come on
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: here every day. Y'all got to schedule when you come
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: on here every day, because you're intentional about building your brand.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: You're intentional about being seen. You're intentional about allowing people
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: to get to know you. So you're intentional about the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: things that you're doing. And then since you started being intentional,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: and since you developed the plan, and since you developed
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: these things, then you started seeing the results. You started
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: seeing more people being attentative to your videos, You started
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: seeing more people being active with your videos. You started
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: seeing more people following your page. You start seeing the
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: difference when you start being intentional. Because when you start
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: being intentional, guess what people see your intentions and what
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: God honest, that he honest, that he honest that So
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: keep being intentional, keep being focused on those things that
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: He's called you to. And no matter what it looked like, y'all,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: we've we've been told, we've been showed, we've seen it,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: and if you are, if you've lived long enough, y'all
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: know we're gonna we're gonna experience some things. And if
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: we continue on this journey, we're gonna experience some more things.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: And it's up to us to figure out how are
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: we gonna endure? How are we going to go through.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Are we gonna be cheerful? Are we gonna have our joy?
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Or we're gonna we're gonna act up? Are we gonna
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: act out of character? Are we gonna act outside the box?
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Are we gonna be a representation of the one that
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: created us? So those are some of the things that
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: we have to look at and some the things that
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: we have to focus on when we're going through because
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: the things that you know He's looking at. So again,
• 31:13

• 33:27
  Speaker 1: So they don't get a lot of airtime, So I
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: want to provide a space for them where we can
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: come and we can talk about those things and all
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: those that have had experiences that a lot of people
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: don't want to talk about and a lot of times
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: we can't even say them on these social media sites
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: because they don't like for us to mention these words.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: But essays happen. It's essay and against you, attempts and
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: all of those things, y'all, we're gonna talk about that.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: We're even gonna talk about family owned family, those types

  Speaker 1: the closet. But individuals wanted to heal, so they're sharing
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: their stories and we're gonna provide them a place where

• 34:34
  Speaker 1: here live at ten PM and we are going to
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: talk about those things. So that is the real and
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: raw Author's Lounge coming to you guys, July seventh. Again,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: it's an opportunity. Always, I believe in given opportunities, and
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I am stepping out on faith and I'm believing that
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: you know, those that have been through these city their
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: stories are going to be able to help other people. Hear.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: A lot of people write a lot of their books
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: the way that they write them because they can't share
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the way they want to, so they put them in
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: these urban fiction books and they put them in these
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: street lits, and they put them in these different jurors
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: that you know that they can disguise it so if
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: their acts, they can say it's not true, even if
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: it's true. And if you talk to a lot of
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: those urban lit, in those street lit in those books,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: they'll tell you that a part of it is a
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: part of their life. And that's the thing, you know.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: They have to put it like that because a lot
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: of people, some people wouldn't understand some people. Some people
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: would get upset, people would get mad, people would be
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: feeling all different types of way. So we do want
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: to provide them a platform so that they can express
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: and get it out and share it and let people know.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: So that's what we're doing, and that's what we're going
