• 1:31
  Speaker 1: there on IG. Glad you could be with us. And
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I see you guys over there on YouTube as well. Jelena,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I was saying to you before we went live here
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: half joking that after reading your book, I feel like
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I know you quite well. Even though this is the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: first time we've had a real conversation together. How does
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it feel to have lived this book and now to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: be able to share it with the world?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: You know, part of it feels really surreal.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't know if you ever experienced that,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: you know, things that it looks impossible for you. It
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: looked like you don't have something just come natural to
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: some people, but certain things, especially in this particular area,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: believing God for a husband looked impossible. And so when,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: you know, going through this journey and how I was
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: really just following instructions and just you know, moving in
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: obedience in that manner. And here we are today, eight
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: years in December of marriage. So just want to say that.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And it's, it's interesting. And you all, when you
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: read the book is why you have to get the book.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: You'll be able to read about that toward the latter
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: part of the book. And as you find out even
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: about her husband in the book as well. And I'm
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: glad you mentioned that because I mentioned the title of
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the book is posture, but the subtitle is how to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: believe God for your husband. But I want to say this, Jolana,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: after reading the book, I think, you from myself as
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a reader, I'm just talking, I know this is your
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: personal story, but I think the audience will be able
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to take how to believe God period. I think from
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: this book too, because whether it's, you know, they're looking
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: for a marriage mate, looking for something with their employment,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you know, looking for something in life. I love the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: fact that it really does show us the importance of
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: not only our priorities, but making sure that we are
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: actually walking in line with what we say we want.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: What was that like for you to think about as
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you were writing the book, Jolana, that it really was about, OK,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: saying what you wanted in your case, a husband. But
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: then what were you doing? How are you moving in
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: order to get to that goal?
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: You know, I just really wanted God's best, to be
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: honest with you. And so I just noticed that sometimes
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: we can mess that up when we think that we're,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: you know, selecting even in the husband's arena or even
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: in other things, you know, jobs. So it is really
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: biblical principles that you can use across the board. And
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: so for me, it was one of those things like, okay,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: what does God say about marriage? I think I talk
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: about in the book how I looked at the story
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: of Isaac and Rebecca, like how.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: He received his wife.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: And I was like, well, listen, if you sent the
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: angels before the servant to go get his wife, well,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I sent forth my angels. So I literally, I.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Really literally took....
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: The word for real, for real, like I literally took
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: it literally, I guess you could say, and applied it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: And it worked.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: So every time I was taking different steps, I noticed like, oh, wow, okay,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: I see how God was meeting me at every single
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: step that I took. So it was a list of instructions, right?
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: It was different things, especially healing. I think a lot
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: of people don't, you know, a lot of people who
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: skip that part, you know, when it comes to receiving,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: you believe that's God's best. You have to go through
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: a healing process because you might damage that. the thing
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: that you're asking for when you receive it.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Right. And I'll take it just a step further based
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: on your book, Jelena. The other thing is making sure
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: we're ready for what we're asking for. A lot of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: times in life, not just in relationships, but just in anything, right?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: We are not actually prepared for what we say we
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: want and what we're asking God for, which could be
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: part of why the posture, right? Going to that, it
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: is so important. I want to talk about your relationship
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: with God. And the only reason why I'm bringing this up, Jolana,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: is because you write about it so openly in the book.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: How did you get to a place where you could
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: be able to not only realize that your best could
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: only come from God, but also that you had to
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: rely on God to give it to you?
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, from the very beginning, I think
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I talk about in the book how I used to
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: make some really bad choices when it came to relationships.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: And I was like, listen, I had a reference of God.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: You know, I grew up in church still in my adulthood.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I was, you know, had one foot in the street
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: and one foot in the church. And so but I
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: just knew that I was like, God, it has to
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: be something better. Like, you know, I just don't want
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: a mediocre life. I don't want a mediocre relationship. Like
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I'm doing something wrong. I need for you to like
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I literally surrender. I was like, help, you know, that
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: type of situation.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: And he started leading me on different journeys at that
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: particular time.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: I didn't even know who T.D. Jakes were, you know,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: who he was at that time. And, you know, he
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: led me to one of his books and I was
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: reading it. Now I know him, of course, I know
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: of him or whatever. And I can hear his voice.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: I heard his voice while I was reading the book.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: So he sent me, you know, on that journey, reading,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: start getting spiritual teachings, I should say. And then on
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: top of that, I started understanding, like, OK, in order
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: for me to receive this by faith, I have to
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: hear the word of God. So I started going to,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: you know, that's when my relationship started changing as well
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: and being.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Developed and just really growing in God.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: And the more you grow, you realize like, okay, you know, God's,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: you know, God's love is unconditional, but his.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Promises are conditional.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: So just learning things, you know, just learning the nature
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: of God in that sense. And a lot of times
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: we had to get rid of, you know, thinking that
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: things are harmless could actually hinder certain things.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: And I think one thing I mentioned in the book,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I talked about how.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Bad seeds were planted, meaning like, So, you know, early
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: on in years ago, someone told me that I was
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: never going to get married.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: They said, oh, you're the type of person. And she
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: just said it so lightly. She said, oh, you're the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: type of person don't get married. You're fine, though. Like,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: you just don't get married. Like, that's you're that type
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: of person. I'm like, what? And to be honest with you,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: every time a bad.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Relationship came, that thought came up, you know. And so
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: what I had to really unlearn a lot of things.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I had to really uproot some seeds that were planted
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: from my past.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: And so it was really a healing journey.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: And really, I was resulting to God because I just
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: knew that I couldn't do this alone. Like I did
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: it before alone and it didn't work out so well.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: And so now let me try God. And so that's
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: how that journey started.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: You know, when I got to a certain part and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: you and I were briefly joking about it, Jolana, I
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: thought about, you know, the Bible account about Habakkuk and
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Habakkuk asking God, how long? How long am I going
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to have to do this? You know, how long is
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: it you're going to let this happen? And I thought
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: about that when I was reading a part of your
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: book where you basically felt like you were doing everything right.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: You're asking, OK, why haven't I? Why haven't this happened? Yeah,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you know. But I think the interesting thing about that,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: which is why I'm so glad you included it in
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the book, is because you have to be careful sometimes
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: what we ask for because we'll get the answer. So
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: read it. But what was it like for you to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: realize that even though you felt like you were checking
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: all the boxes and doing the right thing, that there
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: were things that you still had to look at and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: change your relationship with in your life?
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Listen. I was, you know what? I was really at
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: this point. I was at the point, and I remember
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the day when it happened.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I was really at a place like, look, I mean,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: I don't understand, like, am I missing something?
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Like, what's going on here?
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: And it was so loud and clear. If you don't
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: even mention it, I don't have to mention it, but
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: it didn't wait to read the book. But it was
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: so loud and clear where, you know, I heard this voice.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: And I mean, hey, everybody's on their personal journey.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: I can't explain, you know. But I heard this voice
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: was like, you know, to do this particular thing. And
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I was like, what? Because that wasn't even on my mind.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: At the time.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I wasn't fully active in that particular relationship. And so
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I was like, OK. And see, for me, it was
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: a no brainer. Like I have gotten to a place
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: even at that stage and even now, like I'm not
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: going to be so connected to something that could possibly.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Hinder me, you know, or hinder where I'm going.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, I didn't even
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: have the full knowledge of why I had to release
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: this thing. You know, later on, you know, I started understanding.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: But at that time, I didn't have the full revelation
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: of why.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: But guess what? I was like, listen, if this is
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: the thing, if this is the one thing that you're
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: saying to give up, guess what?
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna give it up and when I did do
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: that I think it was like six or seven months
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: later my husband showed up and I just thought like
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: wow just and I was really studying this morning about
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: obedience like if you like you when you start looking
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: at the different models of when you know, individuals in
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: the Bible talks about, you know, um, they believe that
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: they were, they were in a situation and it was
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: believing God for a particular thing where it always was
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: the situation.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Then it was always the instructions. It was our response.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: And then guess what? You get the result.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: So as long as we do the response, I mean the,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: the instructions, right. And so that's what, that's what it did. Like,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I just like, I was just so sold out to
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: the point where I'm not married to that particular thing.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: And you know, I had friends, family members that were
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: involved in, you know, those types of relationships. And listen,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: we're still friends, we're still family, but this is my
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: personal journey there. And I would say to people like,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: there's not a person that could put me in hell
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: or heaven. Right. And so at the end of the day,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: this is my personal journey. So that's what happened.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That was amazing. Yeah.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: And this, and thank you so much for sharing it,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: but this is why I said what I said earlier, Jelena,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: about this book is bigger than for myself. And I
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: guess I'm speaking as a happily single guy here is
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: so the marriage part was not of interest to me
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: at all, but I could, I could fill in that
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: blank with work with, you know, I mean, so we
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: all have something right that we have to be able
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: to look at and say, okay, am I cheating on
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: my relationship with God with this thing? And I, that's
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: what I got when I got to that part in
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the book that, that it really was about, okay, You know,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: could I be putting something in front of God? I
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: hadn't even realized that I had just by what I said.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: And what I love about, again, to talk around what
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: you had to experience, you know, have I made vows
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to things, you know, that are really putting me in opposition,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you know, to my relationship with God. Tracy on Facebook. Hey, Tracy,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: good to see you. Tracy said it's all about being
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: willing and obedient. That's so true. And I think that's
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the big thing. I want to say for those who
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: are just tuning in, welcome. You all are watching. Cyrus
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: represents Melba Moore. Hello to you, Ms.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Moore.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Good to be able to see you over there on
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: IG and also you all joining us over there on Amazon.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: We're talking today with Jolana W. Herman. She's the author
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: of the book you guys can see here. It's called Posture.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: The subtitle of the book is How to Believe God
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: for Your Husband. But again, as a reader, you can
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: be able to feel that in whatever that thing is
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: for you. I want to talk about your happy ending
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: because we do get to know when you were meeting
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: your husband. We get to hear from him, of course,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: in the book as well. What was that like for
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: you to be able to share that with us, but
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: also to reflect on yourself how it all came about?
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: This is so crazy. So I'm a dreamer.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: So God works me through dreams. So I had a dream.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: And so I met his sister at the church. I
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: was a member at that time. And in the dream,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: they're from the Caribbean. And so in the dream, she
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: was my wedding planner and I was getting married and
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: I was so excited. And I was just like, oh,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: my goodness, I'm getting married, but I don't know who
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I'm going to marry. And this was in the dream.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: And so I told her this in real life. And
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: in the dream, she just like, huh.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: You know, that kind of thing. Right. And she did
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the same thing in real life.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: And so I didn't realize that God was unfolding things
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: in the background.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: So he showed me the dream. He was speaking to
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: her about her brother. I didn't even know.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: She didn't even mention her brother to me. And so
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: it was really a journey. I was really about to
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: lose the journey, though. I was about to lose my
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: lose the opportunity because I felt like. You know, he
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: wasn't at a certain place that that I thought he
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: should have been, I guess, or, you know, religious wise that,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: you know, you're supposed to be or whatever. And I
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: remembered his posture, his posture. He was, you know, when
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I was getting ready to put him in a friend zone,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: he said.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Listen, you know what? You know, we're good. Let's let me.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: He said, I care about you and I'm here for
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: the long haul. And I remember thinking like, OK, OK.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: And so during that journey, you have to get the
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: book because during that journey, while he was there or here,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: North Carolina, he, you know, I felt, oh my God,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: we both felt in love. Like it was head over heels.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: And that was all she wrote from there. So it's
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: just amazing just to see. It's really, truly a love story.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Like it's really a love story at the end, how
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: I got to him. And he always reminds me, he said,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: I remember the tree I was under when I prayed
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: for you.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: And I was just like, oh, wow.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: And so, God, I'm telling you, like, he's in the
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: setting up business, okay, when it comes to dating.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And I think, too, hey, Terrence, it's good to be
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: able to see you over there on IG as well. KBA,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: hello to you as well over there on IG. But
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to that point, again, that's why I think there's so
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: many different audiences for this book, Jelana, because even as
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you were talking, I think what it really shows, too,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: is that, you know, when you are truly serious about
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: something that you want, if you're doing your part, then
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: God will definitely bless your efforts. I think about what
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Paul said about him and Apollos. They can plant, they
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: can water, but it's God that makes it grow. And
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I think it's all about that timing, which is why
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I think the title, Posture, and I have to admit,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: when you and I first connected and I bought the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: book on Amazon, I didn't know why the book was
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: called Posture.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I didn't.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: So why don't you tell our audience why you chose,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: because after reading the book, the word that comes to
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: mind is, is patience. But why, why did you decide
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: on posture for the title?
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Because you have to get in position.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Like everything that I talked about in the book, it
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: was literally me getting in position, like literally, like, I mean,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: position to, for the mindset and position for healing to position,
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: position to receive the position. I mean, I literally, so
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: when I really thought about this whole process, cause the
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: name changed several times before I published it, And really
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: the common denominator was posture and even discipling or mentoring
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: other young ladies. And it's always because they're out of posture.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: They're not in position. We say we want a particular
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: thing because in the book, I think I talked about how,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I think I put that in there about how I
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: had a desire to be married, but then I had
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: a revelation that I had commitment issues.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: I'm like, what? That doesn't make any sense. You know
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying? Well, well, the reason, because I had
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: to go through a healing process. It was some things
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I had to.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Go through because, you know, you just don't want to
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: just be married. Like, I mean, I could have been
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: married a long time ago, to be honest with you.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: But you want to make sure that is the best thing.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Like you don't want to hinder him and you don't
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: want him to hinder you either. And so that's the
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: reason why it's called posture.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Got you. Dale Harrison, hello to you over there on LinkedIn.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: We have people all over the place. Appreciate y'all. Dale says,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I'm so happy to hear this. It really is an
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: inspiring story and I'm so glad you shared it. And
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I just want to mention one thing again as a
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: reader for my audience out there. The other thing that
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I love about this book is that it really shows
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: that you have to take these things seriously. One of
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the things that concerns me so much, Jelana, and I
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: see it so much is that people see dating and
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: marriage almost as entertainment, just something to do.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I'm bored.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to You know, just play around. I'm like,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's the way it's supposed to be.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's that's what it's set up for.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: But I love the fact that you were very intentional
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and that definitely comes through in the book. And I
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: think that's a great message for our audience out there
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: that maybe you're not getting what you want because of
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the way you look at it and the way you
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: treat it. And if you're not going to treat it
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: as something that's precious and sacred, especially as marriage is
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: kind of ordained by God. Then that could be part
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: of the reason. What is your hope, though, when men
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: and women read this book, Jolana, what do you hope
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: posture does for them?
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: To be honest with you, you know, the first thing,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: you know, so when you ask that question, because the
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: first thing that comes to my mind is that they
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: really get a closer relationship with God. Because in order
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: to receive his best or receive those, you know, the
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: results that you're looking for, you do become like it automatically,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: you automatically come closer to God. And so I think
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: relationship is key, man. I mean, if you get that
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: relationship right, then you can have any other relationship. Right.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: And so that's the biggest thing.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: And then also, I believe that, you know, if that's
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: a desire in your heart to be married, well, I'm
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: believing that when you receive this book, you're going to meet.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: The right one at the right time. And then, you know,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: it'd be the right marriage. Right. And so I've already
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: heard some people give me feedback. from the book. And
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: one told me like, after she's like, I did everything
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: that you said in the book.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: And after that, someone showed up like, Hey, asking me like,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: you know what?
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: You're such a nice lady. You're a good looking lady.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: I have someone that I want to introduce you to.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: And she was like, what? And she was like, if
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: there was such a thing regarding love at first.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Sight, she's like, Jelana, I'm experiencing it. And I was like, wow.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: I said, God gets the glory for that. Cause listen,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: if he did it for me, I'm just only Jelana Herman.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Okay. If he did it for me, he could do
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: it for others as well.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Well, Jelana, I told you that the time flies by.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: It is such a great, it's such a great book.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I'm so, so happy that you decided to share your story.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: And if I could just say one more thing for
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: our audience out there that I took away from Jelana's
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: book too, is the importance of being obedient. A lot
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: of times we, you know, we are so, so set
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: on what we want and we don't wait on God's timing.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: as well as what is actually from God. Because again,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: we can be in such a hurry. And I love
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the fact that she was able to wait. And I
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: think that's such an important thing for all of us, right?
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: And when it comes to life and making decisions, if
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: we're truly saying that we're going to to be led
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: by God, making sure that he's the one we're listening
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: to and not our own anxieties and impatience as well. Again, everyone,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Gerlana W. Herman has been our guest. The book is
