  Good question. I don't know, but it is all in God's hands. Good morning.
• 1:32
  You're listening to Have Faith Let It Begin, and it starts right now.

  Hello, everyone, and welcome to Have Faith Let It Begin. I cannot believe I'm
• 1:40
  about to say this. It's snowing out. Like, what is going on?
• 1:44
  I woke up this morning. I was ready to go.
• 1:47
  I've been much better, feeling much better. Sinus infection is going away and
• 1:52
  boom I walk out to this like Snowstorm and we're in the northeast Where is spring y'all? Where is it?
• 2:00
  And it's going to be like 64 degrees the following week How is this possible?
• 2:05
  I'm just like in awe So here I am I got to work a little bit early and please
• 2:10
  for what all means Everybody that needs to stay home stay home And if you're
• 2:14
  driving to work just because you have a truck I mean,
• 2:17
  I have a truck and I was doing 35 miles an hour going with the flow of traffic,
• 2:22
  because the, these interstates are not plowed.
• 2:26
  They didn't expect this. And if they did and they weren't prepared, bad job on them.
• 2:31
  But you got people driving like if it was just a regular rainstorm,
• 2:35
  you know, Hey, I can get through this slitting, sliding, slipping everywhere.
• 2:40
  You're causing more havoc this way, guys. you're creating more of an opportunity
• 2:45
  of a car accident. Slow down.
• 2:49
  Yeah. If you look in the parking lot where I'm at, you can tell people were
• 2:53
  skidding to get to where they need to go because they're just trying to,
• 2:57
  they're trying to speed. And it's like, this is crazy.
• 3:00
  So yeah, if you just woke up and you listened to Half Eight Let It Begin,
• 3:04
  yeah, I'm not, this is not an April Fool's joke.
• 3:06
  There's about a good, I'd say about a good two inches on the ground already here in the Northeast.
• 3:12
  And I'm not happy about it. But what I am happy is that we're all together.
• 3:17
  People are already wondering, why are we on a Saturday? Well,
• 3:20
  because Thursday never happened because I was sick and I got stuck working an overnight shift.
• 3:25
  And by the time I got home, there was no way I was getting up.
• 3:28
  And yeah. So I said, well, I'll make it up to you. I said it to you guys yesterday on Friday.
• 3:33
  And here I am with the Saturday edition. and what we're going to talk about. It's quite simple.
• 3:38
  Today's topic is all about you. That's right. You.
• 3:42
  I haven't done this in a little while. How are you doing?
• 3:46
  How have you been? What have you been up to lately?
• 3:50
  When was the last time somebody asked you how your week has gone?
• 3:54
  When was the last time you asked yourself, how am I doing?
• 3:58
  Quite often we walk around and we worry about other people's feelings.
• 4:02
  We care for others. We call to others and pray to others. We do random act of kindness for others.
• 4:10
  Sometimes we're mean to others and we shouldn't be.
• 4:14
  But today I'm asking you, how are you doing? Have you been sick?
• 4:19
  Have you been struggling with your faith?
• 4:22
  Are you worrying about your job or your position that you hold right now?
• 4:26
  Are you having conflicts with your coworkers?
• 4:29
  Are you having trouble praying to God? Are you having a great week?
• 4:34
  Are you having a great month? Did you just start a new job?
• 4:38
  Are you in a brand new relationship?
• 4:41
  How are you doing? I wish one of those questions could be answered like right now, right?
• 4:46
  As you're driving today or waking up and I'm asking these questions, probably left out a lot.
• 4:53
  I can't assume to know everybody's situations or their questions that need to be asked.
• 5:00
  But what I can do is say the following.
• 5:04
  God wants you to know that he loves you. God wants you to know that he believes in you.
• 5:10
  Now, I'm not saying that that's what God is telling me. That's what I feel that is needed to be asked.
• 5:16
  Whether you can say that's God's words coming through me, that's a possibility.
• 5:20
  But I will say this, I did not have a topic in mind when I decided to record and hit the play button.
• 5:28
  I went with my gut. And if this is meant for one of you, then we've done our job.
• 5:34
  So this morning, as I've asked those questions,
• 5:38
  I'm going to ask all of you to take a few minutes with me as we cue the music,
• 5:45
  and we pray together by praying the words that Jesus taught us.
• 5:52
  Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
• 5:58
  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
• 6:05
  Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.
• 6:13
  Lead us not into temptation. Deliver us from evil.
• 6:18
  For yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever and ever.
• 6:24
  May God work with you, may he work with you, may he be with you, may he guide you,
• 6:33
  may he place his arms around you and hug you so tight as he whispers into your
• 6:38
  ears that he loves you, that he's never left your side and that he will be with
• 6:44
  you on the good times and the bad times.
• 6:49
  Don't allow your faith to be tested. Don't let anyone steal your joy.
• 6:54
  Always remember to put God first he will take you on a journey to this path
• 7:02
  of righteousness that we all so desperately are seeking,
• 7:09
  I hope each and every one of you have a blessed morning I'm sorry to say grab
• 7:13
  your shovels shovel slowly,
• 7:19
  maybe even want to let the snow melt on its own it's going to get warmer anyway
• 7:22
  tomorrow Not too much, but enough to get it melted.
• 7:26
  But if you don't want to, stay home, stay in bed, put on a favorite movie,
• 7:32
  a show, and enjoy the time with your family.
• 7:36
  May God be with you. May he shine his light upon you and grant each and every
• 7:39
  single one of you peace on earth.
• 7:42
  Drive safely and never forget. Have faith.
• 7:47
  Let it begin. Take care, guys.
