  There were a couple of new current events that I

  really kind of want to touch on, and then of
• 2:02

• 2:05
  a Black Girl Interrupted. Let's just have just a regular
• 2:09
  decular conversation again, Happy Tuesday. I don't have anything planning,
• 2:13
  like nothing lined up, but I just want to jump
• 2:16
  on the night because I was like, I got to
• 2:18
  talk to my people. Man, I gotta see how y'all
• 2:20
  feeling a day. I know it's Tuesday, the month is
• 2:25
  coming down to an end. We are almost nine months
• 2:29
  into twenty twenty four, and can y'all believe in three months, well,
• 2:34
  it'll be twenty twenty five. So what are we doing?
• 2:38
  Like what have we not accomplished in twenty twenty four
• 2:44
  that we're hoping to accomplish in twenty twenty five. So
• 2:48
  I really want to kind of touch on that a
• 2:50
  little bit tonight. But tonight is just whatever whatever y'all
• 2:53
  want to talk about, that's what we're talking about. Whatever
• 2:55
  questions you want to ask, whatever topics you want to
• 2:59
  bring to the tape, whatever, whatever, that's that's what we
• 3:02
  do on tonight. But any who, happy toessday I'm gonna
• 3:06
  say that again. Happy tools. I hope everyone had a
• 3:09
  beautiful weekend. I know. I'm excited football season has finally arrived.
• 3:16
  I'm so excited, y'all goes Saints. I don't care about
• 3:19
  the other thirty one teams thirty I mean thirty teams,
• 3:22
  thirty one teams, I don't care. I'm only concern with
• 3:25
  one team and one team only. But for the new
• 3:29
  people that are tuned in tonight, how I like to
• 3:33
  start my shows off, I always do a mental health
• 3:36
  check in because I want to see how people are doing.
• 3:40
  You know, it's imperative, especially in the Black community, that
• 3:44
  we push and we continue to advocate and rally for
• 3:47
  mental health. As many of you know my journey, many
• 3:52
  of y'all know my story, my experiences. So I always
• 3:55
  want to do my mental health check ins because I
• 3:57
  want people to know that there are there are people
• 4:00
  out here that really care. We really, truly do care
• 4:03
  about your mental health. We care about you, We love you.
• 4:07
  We want to pour into you. We want to encourage you,
• 4:10
  we want to empower you, we want to uplift you.
• 4:13
  So I always love to start my shows off with
• 4:15
  a mental health check in. So and what the mental
• 4:20
  health check in intel is some I always find a video,
• 4:25
  something that's encouraging, something that's uplifting, something that's empowering to people,
• 4:29
  because there are people out here that really truly believe
• 4:32
  that they are alone. There are people out here that
• 4:35
  really truly feel like they have no one to turn to,
• 4:38
  that they're you know, and they're struggling. So I want
• 4:42
  people to know again, especially in the black community, in
• 4:46
  the brown community, that you do have a support of
• 4:49
  people around you that want to love you, that want
• 4:52
  to help you out of these dark spaces. We want
• 4:54
  to help you over the hump, we want to help
• 4:56
  to carry you across the finish line. So this is
• 4:59
  why I do the these mental health check ins. I
• 5:02
  don't only just do them for me, but I do
• 5:03
  them for y'all because sometimes you just need to hear
• 5:08
  that you're doing a great job. Sometimes you just need
• 5:10
  to hear that you are loved. Sometimes you just need
• 5:14
  to hear that I'm proud of you. So this is
• 5:16
  why I do these mental health check ins to kick
• 5:19
  off my episodes, excuse me, And I always find a video,
• 5:24
  something that's encouraging, something that's empowering, something that's uplifting, something
• 5:28
  that will stick with you, something that will resonate with you,
• 5:31
  some another voice that supports you and everything that you do.
• 5:37
  So I really pray that everyone that again, and I
• 5:41
  say this every episode, no matter what storm you're standing
• 5:44
  in the midst of, just know it doesn't rain forever.
• 5:47
  Just know that you don't always have to get wet,
• 5:51
  and that sometimes it's okay to get wet. It's okay
• 5:55
  to struggle, but it's not okay to sit in the struggle.
• 5:58
  It's not okay to in the dark. So this is
• 6:01
  why I do these mental health check ins, Like I said,
• 6:04
  because I want people to know that I love you,
• 6:07
  that I care about you, that you are not alone.
• 6:11
  I do this because I didn't have all of this.
• 6:14
  So with the purpose that God has given me, I
• 6:18
  want to give it right back. I want to pour
• 6:19
  back into somebody else because I didn't always have that,
• 6:22
  I didn't always have the encouragement. I don't always have
• 6:25
  the support. Well you know what, let me take that back.
• 6:29
  I did. I just didn't know how to receive the support.
• 6:32
  So again, I do these mental health check ins because
• 6:35
  I want people to know again, we support you, we
• 6:38
  love you, over here, black girl interrupt the podcast. We
• 6:41
  believe in you, We're proud of you. We don't care
• 6:44
  how many times you falling down. We just care about
• 6:47
  the times that you get back up. So and tonight,
• 6:52
  I promise I'm not gonna get emotional. I promise I'm
• 6:54
  not anyone that knows I'm the biggest crow baby in
• 6:58
  the whole wide world. Maybe that's my I'm in the balls.
• 7:00
  I don't know, but I am. But excuse me again.
• 7:05
  I always try to play something encouraging, something empowering, something uplifting.
• 7:10
  So here we are, and then we're just going to
• 7:12
  jump into the conversation tonight.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: What is the common denominator of failure? Why are you failing?
• 7:24
  You're never say because of me. Oh, it's the competition,
• 7:29
  it's the economy, it's the president, it's Congress. If you
• 7:34
  wake up tomorrow morning and blame your failure on someone
• 7:40
  or something else, you have no reason to change, do you.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: But if you woke up in the morning.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: And looked in the mirror and said, I am failing
• 7:51
  because of me, the decisions that I make, the energy
• 7:57
  I put in, I'm not passing the blame. If you
• 8:02
  look in a Miry tomorrow and say that you will change,
• 8:06
  because nobody likes thinking of themselves as a failure.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Winners win and losers lose. And if you'll create a
• 8:15
  culture of losing, if you keep being a victim, if
• 8:19
  you keep letting losing happen to you, if you keep
• 8:21
  letting people do you and treat you any kind of way,
• 8:24
  it's going to become a culture.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Take ownership. Take ownership of everything in your world, the
• 8:32
  good and the bad. Don't make excuses, don't blame any
• 8:38
  other person or any other thing. Take ownership of your mistakes,
• 8:45
  Take ownership of your short falls. Take ownership of your problems,
• 8:50
  and then take ownership of the solutions that will get
• 8:53
  those problems solved. Take ownership of your job, of your team,
• 9:00
  of your future, and take ownership of your.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Life the people in life that win.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Play offense, not defense.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Stop backing into everything, stand up, boone your back.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: A little bit, start to walk a little different.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Start to be you have best version of you. You
• 9:18
  can do it in your quiet way.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: You can do it the way you do it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: But somehow they gotta look at you and.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Go, okay, I want monkey with that one.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: You push back, You gonna get obsessed.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: You gotta get relentless. You gotta be a road doll.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: You gotta get intense.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: You gotta have a permeating attitude that you're gonna win.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: You gotta have been a positive outlook.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: You gotta be optimistic.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: You gotta know you're gonna win.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: You gotta right now.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I said I'm gonna win.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna win.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: My life is gonna win. This gonna be a victorious
• 9:44
  life here because listen to me, the price you pay
• 9:47
  for losing here is too extreme. You have to carry
• 9:50
  the burden.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Of failure the.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Rest of your life as we.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: Begin to elevate ourselves and not to follow the crowd,
• 9:56
  activating the thinker us and disciplining and putting on hold
• 9:59
  the part of ourselves. It's not easy, but through practice
• 10:04
  and practice and practice, practice makes improvement. You can always
• 10:08
  better your best. You can always go beyond anything that you.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Have ever done.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: You never hit a state of perfection. You're always bigger
• 10:15
  than what you do, and so all you're looking for
• 10:19
  new breakthroughs. Through practice and practice and practice, you'll get
• 10:22
  better and better and better. Something you should affirm to
• 10:26
  yourself every day. Repeat this, Please no matter how.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Bad it is or how bad it gets, I'm going
• 10:33
  to make it.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: The people that make it in this world look around
• 10:37
  for the circumstances that they want, and that they can't
• 10:39
  find them, they create them. It's hot, no easy, it's
• 10:42
  not an option.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: However, ladies and gentlemen, what.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: You will discover it is that it's worth There takes cuts.
• 10:49
  You gotta dig down deep to cut it out, keep going, going,
• 10:52
  again and again and again.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I tell you make it happen because you know that
• 10:58
  is possible, and you are the Germany factor.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Man, y'all when I tell you that video here real
• 11:33
  deep because a lot of times we don't like to
• 11:35
  take accountability. A lot of times we love to blame
• 11:39
  everybody else for our shortcomings or our downfalls without realizing
• 11:44
  that we play a part in all of this. We
• 11:48
  play a major role in the way our life goes.
• 11:52
  So it's up to us to take accountability. It's up
• 11:55
  to us to say, you know what, let me own
• 11:57
  my part in this. So it's up to us. So
• 12:00
  I tell each and every person that's tuned in that's
• 12:02
  watching tonight that it's okay to fall down. But again,
• 12:07
  it's not okay to stay there. You know it's not
• 12:11
  okay to start blaming others for your shortcomings. What part
• 12:15
  do you play in this? I know a lot of
• 12:20
  people that want to hear that, but I know accountability
• 12:24
  is hard. But you know what, Once you take accountability
• 12:28
  for the things that have gone on in your life,
• 12:33
  you'll start to feel better and you'll start to view
• 12:35
  them differently. You'll be able to see the up, the down,
• 12:39
  the good, the bad, the highs and the lows in
• 12:41
  certain situations, and you'll know how to handle it. You'll
• 12:45
  know which ones you need to bow out gracefully from
• 12:49
  and just say you know what, you got it. We
• 12:54
  have the options to pick and choose. That's the beautiful
• 12:56
  thing about our life. We get to pick and choose
• 12:58
  who's in it. We get to write our own stories.
• 13:02
  We have to stop allowing people to write our stories
• 13:05
  for us. And I know I've said that before, but
• 13:08
  I'm gonna say it again. We us, as a person,
• 13:13
  as an individual, we have the own some of these
• 13:16
  storms that we encounter, because sometimes we create them and
• 13:20
  then we get upset when it reads. So I say
• 13:24
  all of that to say is excuse me. Regardless of
• 13:27
  where you are in life, stop looking backwards because you
• 13:30
  can't change what's already happen. You need to focus on
• 13:33
  what's in front of you and what your future is
• 13:35
  gonna look like. You are in control of your own destiny.
• 13:39
  Stop giving that power to other people, you understand. Stop
• 13:42
  letting people drive your car and take control. And it's easy.
• 13:48
  It's okay to do that. It's okay to say, you
• 13:51
  know what, let me let me let me drive this
• 13:54
  real quick. Let let me be in control of this.
• 13:57
  Let me take control of my destiny. Let me take
• 14:00
  control of the path that I choose. But the only
• 14:03
  way you can win is you got to make sure
• 14:05
  you in tour God in the midst of this. You
• 14:08
  get what I'm saying. You gotta make sure you keep
• 14:10
  God in the midst of your journey. You gotta make
• 14:13
  sure you keep God in the midst of whatever it
• 14:15
  is that you're trying to do. Because once you are
• 14:19
  for you, no one else could be against you. As
• 14:23
  long as you got God on your side, baby, You're
• 14:25
  gonna always win as long as you learn to trust Him.
• 14:29
  So this is the importance and the reason why I
• 14:33
  do these mental health check ins again, because excuse me,
• 14:37
  people feel like I'm alone. I'm by myself. I don't
• 14:40
  have anyone to go alone. This journey withn'true. Do you
• 14:44
  have someone, You have people, You have a circle, you
• 14:47
  have a village of people that have experienced where you've been.
• 14:50
  Their story may not be your story, but they know
• 14:53
  your testimony because that was once their test So this
• 14:58
  is why I do these mental health check ins again.
• 15:00
  And it's imperative because mental health is real, mental illness
• 15:04
  is real. You have people that are sitting right now
• 15:06
  in the midst of the storm that are struggling because
• 15:09
  they feel like they don't have anybody, because they feel
• 15:11
  like I've always been there for everybody else, but who
• 15:15
  is gonna be here for me? So this is why
• 15:18
  I do this because I want you to know you're
• 15:20
  not alone, You're not by yourself. Does it hurt to
• 15:23
  go through the journey, Yeah, it does. It's extremely painful.
• 15:29
  But let me tell you something, the end result is
• 15:31
  the beautiful part about it. And just know your story
• 15:36
  is always being written. You can always erase and redo,
• 15:42
  you can always correct that situation because that life has
• 15:47
  taught you that it's always room for error, it's always
• 15:52
  room to fix things. It's always room to make it right.
• 15:56
  It's always room, but it's enough. Time. Time is not
• 16:03
  on anybody's side. We are all on barro a time.
• 16:08
  I look at all the people we've lost along the way,
• 16:13
  who thought they had more time. No time is not
• 16:17
  on anybody's side. So make it right, make it count.
• 16:21
  Stop living in the moment and live. Just get up
• 16:26
  and let's do it. Like Nike what they say, just
• 16:28
  do it. Let's just do it. Get up, Stop being
• 16:32
  a freid. Stop worrying about what people are gonna say
• 16:36
  and what they're gonna think about what you do. Who cares?
• 16:39
  This is your life. You only get one, only one life,
• 16:43
  and you better make it count. You better make the
• 16:45
  best of it. Get up, get out and get it.
• 16:50
  You know what I'm saying. Do something, Be great because
• 16:54
  you are great, and don't let anyone tell you differently.
• 16:58
  So drop in the comments, let me know how you
• 17:00
  how you guys are feeling today. I know it's only Tuesday,
• 17:04
  it's the start of a new week, but I haven't
• 17:07
  seen you since last week. Anything can happen, and everything
• 17:10
  it changes. You know, you may have woken up today,
• 17:14
  gotten up today and was in a good mood and
• 17:16
  then something happening. You're just like, man, I'm not in
• 17:20
  a good space right now. Let's talk about it, and
• 17:24
  just know that I love you. I promise I'm setting
• 17:28
  a big old heart of love, a barrel of love.
• 17:30
  I'm giving you your roses, your flowers, everything, I'm giving
• 17:33
  it all to you. But just know, just because you're
• 17:36
  there doesn't mean you have to stay there. It's not
• 17:39
  how you start, it's how you finish. And stop saying
• 17:42
  that this is your final destination because it's not. God
• 17:46
  has the ability to change the direction of your path.
• 17:50
  God has the has the power to pull you back
• 17:54
  and say you're not ready to go down the road
• 17:57
  your ship, and that's for your protection. That's not saying
• 18:01
  God is not wanting you to get there. But maybe
• 18:05
  you're just not ready to get there. Maybe God doesn't
• 18:07
  feel like you're ready to get there. So God will
• 18:08
  pull your back and say hold up, wait, I you're
• 18:11
  not ready yet. But I'm gonna let you know when
• 18:14
  you're ready, because then God will put you back on
• 18:17
  that path and then you'll start to see things differently
• 18:21
  because God is going to always cook a path for you.
• 18:24
  So don't think that that's God stopping you, and he's saying, Oh,
• 18:27
  you don't deserve that's your protection. Or maybe you're not
• 18:31
  mentally ready for that. Maybe you're not mentally capable to
• 18:33
  handle everything that God is about to give to you.
• 18:35
  So we'll give it to you in increments. He'll give
• 18:37
  it to you little by little, And that's cool. I
• 18:41
  love it. I love the fact that my pace is
• 18:45
  not like everybody else. Embrace that your journey will never
• 18:49
  look like anybody else. So embrace that love that God
• 18:53
  wanted you to be different, because God, if God wanted
• 18:56
  us all the same, man, how would this world be?
• 19:01
  But yeah, but that's my mental health check in. This
• 19:03
  is what I do at the start of every episode,
• 19:05
  because again, I want people to know that you're not
• 19:07
  by yourself, that you're not struggling alone, that you have
• 19:10
  a slew of people, you have a village of people,
• 19:12
  you have a united front for you, you have a
• 19:16
  world of people, a gang of people, a global amount
• 19:19
  of love given to you because people really want to
• 19:23
  see you in. Of course, you're gonna have some haters.
• 19:27
  Don't worry about them, haters. God will take care of them.
• 19:30
  Trust me, He'll pull them weeds out of your garden.
• 19:32
  And guess what, and watch how your flowers are bloom.
• 19:35
  And that's the beautiful part about how when you allow
• 19:37
  God to circumvene in your sitting situations, how much better
• 19:42
  it turns out for you? It does? Yes? Hi, right,
• 19:49
  So enough of the motion stuff. Let's get into the
• 19:52
  conversation for the night. Like I say, it's talk to
• 19:54

• 19:57
  I Wendy William's voice? How you doing today? Talk to me?
• 20:01
  What's up? What's going on in the world today? I
• 20:07
  will say, I don't want to jump into politics. I
• 20:09
  don't want to get into the politics side of it.
• 20:14
  But if that's what you guys want to talk about tonight, Hey,
• 20:17
  it's no holds barred. I won't run from conversation. But huh,
• 20:23
  what do y'all want to talk about? What's going on?
• 20:25
  How you doing to day? Oh? That's my love, EdWay, Hi,
• 20:31
  my baby. Let me say this to you. Congratulations on
• 20:35
  your transition back to Atlanta. I did, I did. I
• 20:39
  saw one of your posts a couple of weeks ago.
• 20:41
  I don't know what's going on with Facebook and algorithm
• 20:44
  and I have to go to people's pages now, But
• 20:47
  I want to say to you, don't give up, and
• 20:52
  I'm so proud of you, and just know that it's
• 20:57
  not how you start, it's how you finish. Don't know
• 21:01
  that even though you lost, it will be your game.
• 21:07
  You understand because God has something awaiting for you. I
• 21:12
  called your post I wanted. I think it was yesterday,
• 21:15
  and let me say this to you. You are in
• 21:17
  your winning season. God is leading you. You understand. God
• 21:23
  is leading you, Edwin, And I know right now it
• 21:28
  may not look that way. I know you get a
• 21:30
  little discouraged because I know you, I know your heart
• 21:32
  and I know your spirit. But just know God it's
• 21:36
  keeping you okay. And trust me, your transition back to
• 21:41
  Atlanta was not in vain. I know you probably have
• 21:43
  people out here that are like no, I know he
• 21:45
  won't gonna wait. I know he won't gonna make it.
• 21:48
  Watch our God and Jesus swing them sandals down, Lord baby,
• 21:52
  because when they do, God, that's gonna hurt. Trust me,
• 21:56
  trust me, it's gonna hurt. Edwin says, I'm so proud
• 22:00
  of you. Keep being the most amazing person you are.
• 22:03
  Thank you, because today I didn't feel amazing and I
• 22:08
  needed to hear that I needed to hear that. I
• 22:11
  promise you sometimes God or move, He'll move things for you.
• 22:18
  And no, I didn't feel amazing today. I didn't feel
• 22:20
  like a great person today. But you, not me. You,
• 22:27
  you guys. Y'all move things for me. Y'all give me purpose,
• 22:33
  y'all reiterate, and y'all confirm what God has been telling
• 22:38
  me all this time. Y'all tell me. And sometimes it
• 22:41
  takes another person to see what you don't see. So yes, ed,
• 22:48
  when I see your light, and baby, when I tell you,
• 22:51
  it's shining brighter than it has ever been. I don't
• 22:55
  know what happened. I don't know what you've done. I
• 22:59
  don't know if maybe because you left and you came back,
• 23:01
  you're looking at Atlanta through a different view. But your
• 23:06
  light is shining because baby, they loving on you, and
• 23:09
  I love you and I'm proud of you. And so
• 23:13
  what you lost it all, but you about to gain
• 23:17
  it all back times too. It's not tripping on what
• 23:20
  you lost, because let me tell you something. People love
• 23:26
  to see you fail. You understand, But God say, hold up,
• 23:30
  hold up, I'm gonna make you a winner. He said.
• 23:33
  I took, but I'm a replace so not ever lost.
• 23:38
  It's a bad thing. It's a game, okay, And I
• 23:41
  need people to understand that. I need people to know
• 23:43
  that everything you lose is not always a big loss.
• 23:46
  It's a game because God always gives you something bigger
• 23:50
  and better. You lost the edwin, So what put that
• 23:55
  boss back? Baby? Let me tell you something. Y'all better
• 23:58
  quit playing with people that are covered by God. Y'all
• 24:02
  better quit playing with people like that. Let me tell
• 24:04
  you something. That get back is real. Do you hear me?
• 24:08
  That get back is real? That bounce back us real?
• 24:13
  Because baby Garden took from everybody. But guess what he
• 24:16
  gave it back to your times too? Do you hear me?
• 24:20
  People laughing? They? Oh yeah, ed when he mm hm,
• 24:23
  y'all see he to moved back to Alanda mm hm
• 24:26
  he left thinking he was uh huh. And watch our
• 24:28
  God is gonna bless you. Watch how big that table
• 24:30
  is gonna be. Watch how big your your feast is
• 24:33
  gonna be. Yeah, you may have been eating noodles, but
• 24:37
  guess what gard fid again? You steak and lobs, Stop playing,
• 24:41
  stop playing and just sit back and just watch everybody
• 24:45
  that doubted you shake him off, Shake him off. What
• 24:48
  that song says, shake them hate us off, shake them off,
• 24:51
  edwin because everybody's smiling your face in a friend y'all
• 24:57
  better learned discernment between the liability and asset for y'all
• 25:00
  last week. Some of y'all don't know the difference. See,
• 25:04
  some of y'all hold onto these liabilities because they look
• 25:06
  like an asset, though really they're not. Sometimes you hold
• 25:09
  onto an asset and when really it's a liability or
• 25:14
  didn't know I said that backwards? Let me let me
• 25:16
  let me repeat that some of y'all hold onto assets,
• 25:21
  but they're really a liability. And sometimes sometimes y'all hold
• 25:24
  on the liabilities when they're really an ass set. Okay,
• 25:27
  So stop worrying about other folks, stop worrying about what
• 25:30
  people think, stop worrying about what people have to say.
• 25:33
  Because what did God say? Oh he said? Oh? God
• 25:36
  said He's in a blessing season. Okay. I don't know
• 25:39
  if anybody in the back heard me, but let me
• 25:40
  repeat that God is in a blessing season. Okay, hmm,
• 25:46
  God is in the blessing season. Okay. You fail, you
• 25:49
  fail down, okay, your skin, your knees, you bump, your head. Okay,
• 25:54
  you gotta not. But guess what God is about to
• 25:58
  bless you. God said, I'm gonna remove this not God said,
• 26:01
  I'm gonna replace everything that you lost, that car that
• 26:04
  you wreck, I'm gonna replace it with something better. That
• 26:07
  furniture you need in your apartment. I'm about to give
• 26:09
  you something better. Because guess what, I'm gonna move you
• 26:11
  out of that apartment. I'm gonna put you in a
• 26:12
  house because I know that's your destination. That apartment is
• 26:15
  just a stop. You understand, that's like a bus stop.
• 26:18
  That's where you're gonna sit for just a moment. But
• 26:20
  trust and belief, that's not your final destination. And I
• 26:22
  want people to stop believing that where you are today
• 26:25
  is your final destination. Stop believing that it's not how
• 26:28
  your start is how you finish. God says that I
• 26:31
  just need you to rest for a minute. So I
• 26:33
  just need you to sit here. Okay, I just need
• 26:35
  you to sit here for just a moment. This is
• 26:37
  not your final destination because I'm about to take you
• 26:40
  places that you never imagine. Do you understand I'm about
• 26:43
  to elevate you so high that your haters won't even
• 26:47
  be able to reach you. Somebody say amen, because I don't.
• 26:52
  I don't think anybody heard me when I said that,
• 26:54
  because guess what. We still keep holding onto these liabilities
• 26:57
  because they're comfortable, because they're familion. Stop holding onto them
• 27:01
  liabilities and get you some assets. You need to start
• 27:04
  getting people that add value to your life. You understand,
• 27:07
  because the longer you hang with a liability, the longer
• 27:10
  your value starts to appreciate. Okay, y'all don't understand that.
• 27:16
  Stop holding onto these liabilities, and then you wonder why
• 27:19
  stuff is not going right for you. You wonder why
• 27:24
  stuff keeps happening to you and it's not by coincidence.
• 27:28
  Sometimes you need to check the people that are in
• 27:30
  your circle because you keep saying, oh, that's my friend,
• 27:33
  that's my friend, that's my friend. Oh my friend will
• 27:35
  never do me that way. And then that same person
• 27:37
  you said will never do me, does you? Okay? I
• 27:42
  thought somebody said they needed to hear a word tonight.
• 27:46
  Tonight Is talked to me Tuesday, and I think somebody
• 27:48
  told me, Ashley, I needed to hear a word today.
• 27:50
  So I'm gonna give you the word today. Okay, God
• 27:53
  told me to give you the word, not me. God
• 27:55
  told me God is moving through me, and God told
• 27:57
  me to tell you. Where you are is not your
• 28:00
  final destination. This is not where you're gonna be permanently.
• 28:03
  You understand, this is just a temporary address. Hello, it's temporary.
• 28:11
  It's not final. That's not where you're gonna stay. But
• 28:17
  a lot of y'all, some of this that you're going through,
• 28:22
  it's storms that you created. These are storms that you created.
• 28:26
  And you mad at everybody else because now it's raining.
• 28:29
  But what did you do? Let's have that real conversation.
• 28:33
  What part did you play in this? It's raining, but
• 28:36
  that don't necessarily mean you gotta get wet. Some of
• 28:40
  y'all step out in the storm on purpose, and God
• 28:44
  was trying to pull your back. And know you you
• 28:45
  wanted to go out there because you felt like you
• 28:48
  you knew, you knew everything. You felt like you could
• 28:50
  move without God. But guess what you learned? Didn't you?
• 28:54
  You fell down and now you stuck, and now you
• 29:00
  mad at everybody. Now it was everybody's fault. God tried
• 29:04
  to pull your back, but you didn't listen. What they say,
• 29:07
  a hard head make a soft behind. Some of y'all
• 29:09
  are learning. Some of y'all don't have the bumps. It
• 29:14
  ain't coincidence, do you hear me? It's not coincidence that
• 29:18
  you didn't bump your head becauseee, God tried to tell you,
• 29:21
  he tried to show you, He tried to pull you back,
• 29:25
  but you say, no, no, God, I got this, I
• 29:27
  could do this. I don't need God, blah blah blah.
• 29:29
  And then guess what, you went and tried to do
• 29:31
  it on your own, your fail and now you begging God.
• 29:34
  And God say a ay, you got to sit right
• 29:36
  here for just a moment. I'll be back to pick
• 29:38
  you up when I feel like you're ready, when I
• 29:41
  feel like you've learned your hands, you've learned your lesson.
• 29:45
  God say, I'll be back, but I need you to
• 29:47
  sit right here on this sidewalk and be still. Sit
• 29:50
  down and be still, and get out of my kitchen.
• 29:55
  That's what God said. God said, get out of the kitchen.
• 30:00
  Because everybody y'all keep saying, ooh God, I just God,
• 30:04
  can you prepare a meal for me? God? Can you
• 30:06
  prepare this table in front of my enemies? You're asking
• 30:11
  him to do this, but you said you're in the
• 30:13
  way move, Take your hands out of it and leave
• 30:18
  it alone. Stop asking God to help you if you're
• 30:21
  just gonna be in the midst of everything. And who lord,
• 30:25
  y'all make me sick? Stop it, stop it all right?
• 30:32
  So let me jump, let me double back, so to
• 30:34
  she Anda says, Hey, my baby sister, I love you, baby,
• 30:37
  She says. My mental health is wavering. The last couple
• 30:40
  of weeks have been draining, overwhelming, yet invigorating through the
• 30:43
  training to become a dispatcher and also take care of
• 30:46
  my mom full time. I am here and I'll get
• 30:48
  through it. Yeah, You're gonna get through it. Ain't no
• 30:50
  doubt about that. Ain't God catch you all this time? Hi,
• 30:57
  ain't remember our conversation. What did I call it? I
• 31:00
  told you. I told you to smile, and I told
• 31:03
  you to pick your head up, hold your head up,
• 31:06
  stop holding it down. You ain't sleep, you wide away. Yeah,
• 31:11
  you're gonna get through it. Ain't no, I'll get through it.
• 31:15
  You will get through it. You will what I told
• 31:22
  you when I talked to you on the phone, I
• 31:23
  told you smile. We need to learn to be grateful
• 31:28
  for what we have and not what we don't have.
• 31:31
  You have your life. You have beautiful children, you have
• 31:35
  a wonderful husband, you have a beautiful job in your alife.
• 31:42
  Be grateful for that. I know it's dreaming. I know
• 31:46
  it's overwhelming, but sometimes God will make you uncomfortable in
• 31:49
  order to get you comfortable. You understand. And it's painful
• 31:52
  and it hurts, and I don't and we don't like
• 31:54
  the way it looks because it's not this beautiful picture
• 31:57
  that we've envisioned. Because see, we want it right now,
• 32:02
  but we don't want to go through the struggle because
• 32:04
  that the struggle hurts too bad. So we just want
• 32:06
  God to give it to us. That's not how he works.
• 32:10
  God just don't give it to you. You got to
• 32:13
  earn it. Do you deserve that? Are you mentally capable
• 32:20
  of getting what God gives to you? Are you able
• 32:25
  to handle that abundance that God is about to bless
• 32:27
  you with. That's what you need to pray for because
• 32:30
  he God is about to give it to you. But
• 32:32
  the question is can you substantiate it? A lot of
• 32:38
  us God gives us everything we want, but we're not
• 32:40
  able to We're not able to substantiate it. We're not
• 32:42
  able to hold onto it because we didn't go and
• 32:46
  talk to God and ask God bless me to be
• 32:50
  able to sustain this. See, we went to God and
• 32:54
  we told God, we want this. God give me this,
• 32:56
  give me that. God give me this good. But we
• 32:58
  forgot to ask God, once you give it to me,
• 33:01
  help me to substantiate it. God, help me to hold it.
• 33:04
  Help me to be able to control this. Mm hm
• 33:09
  m hm m hm. We forget about that, We forget
• 33:13
  the God. We forget to thank God forgiving it to us,
• 33:16
  but we forget to ask him. Can you help me
• 33:18
  to substantiate this? Can you help me to sustain this?
• 33:21
  You've given it to me, You bless me, But now
• 33:25
  I need to be able to sustain this because see,
• 33:30
  once we once God gives us what we want, we
• 33:31
  forget about God until we're down on our knees and
• 33:34
  we're struggling again, and then it's, oh, God, I need
• 33:36
  you to help I Aye, you better praise Him in
• 33:39
  the good, the bad, the ugly, the pretty. Give it
• 33:43
  all to Him. So yeah, you're gonna get through it
• 33:48
  and taking care of your mom. God bless you, God
• 33:54
  bless you. But God is never going to give you
• 33:57
  more than you can handle, trust me, not on this
• 34:00
  journey of taking care of your mom by yourself. God
• 34:03
  is gonna give you the tools. He's giving you the foundation.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: God is gonna help you build that. He's gonna give
• 34:09
  you the tools to guide you through this, to make
• 34:13
  it through. So, no, this ain't permanent, because your mom
• 34:20
  is gonna get better. I promise you. God is a healer, baby,
• 34:24
  he's the doctor. He's the doctor. But you will get
• 34:30
  through this. Ain't no doubt about that. And hey, to you, Sissy,
• 34:34
  I love you back, so Tachina says. She says, I'm
• 34:38
  currently at the emergency room with my mother. Okay, I

• 37:07
  passed away, and I said, you know what, the God
• 37:10
  in me, I have to push this to the side,
• 37:13
  whatever issues we had, and then support. And I've been
• 37:17
  given the support. So you, lady, y'all would be very

  in progress. Trust and believe I am. I am. I'm

  not perfect. I'm not quite where I want to be,

  but God is going to keep moving me to where
• 37:30
  I need to be. Every every day he moves the
• 37:32
  goal post for me, and I get closer to my destination.
• 37:36
  I get closer to exactly where God needs me to be. Okay,

  gonna be so high up in outer space. It's gonna
• 38:40
  be ridiculous, and then your haters won't have a choice
• 38:44
  once a fall back off of us. Because the higher
• 38:47
  you elevate, the busier the devil gets it. A lot
• 38:49
  of people don't remember that you're doing something right when
• 38:56
  you have the haters, When you have people talking about you,
• 38:58
  when you the topic of people conversations, that means you're
• 39:01
  doing something right. And trust me, those conversations won't end
• 39:07
  because guess what. Once you bypass these old haters, you're
• 39:11
  gonna en count us some new haters and guess what,
• 39:13
  and watch out, God gonna show out, God gonna excuse me,
• 39:16
  set them on the curve and they're gonna be watching
• 39:19
  you drive by, and they're gonna be wishing would have
• 39:23
  treated you. Better take it for what it is, Yoshit
• 39:29
  says a load Edwin says I needed this so bad.
• 39:33
  Thank you for pouring into me. You're welcome, and you
• 39:37
  don't have to thank me. You want to know why,
• 39:41
  because I'm a pooring to you, regardless unintentional intentional. I'm
• 39:47
  always love y'all. I'm always love on y'all because I
• 39:50
  wanted that. So now that I have the room and
• 39:55
  I'm in a better space mentally, I can love them people.
• 40:00
  I can pour into people, you understand, because first God
• 40:03
  had to remove that from me because I didn't have
• 40:06
  the ability to love anybody. I didn't have the ability
• 40:09
  to pour into anybody until I had to sit down
• 40:11
  and I had to take that accountability, you understand. Until
• 40:14
  I sat down and I had to revaluate the things
• 40:19
  that I was doing, the things that I was doing
• 40:22
  to people, the things that I was saying to people.
• 40:26
  God wasn't gonna never bless me like that, the circle
• 40:29
  of people I had around me. God was never gonna
• 40:31
  bless a mess. So until I removed those liabilities, and
• 40:37
  until I cleared my heart to be open to be
• 40:41
  able to give and receive love, I didn't know how
• 40:44
  to do it. So now that I have the ability
• 40:48
  to do so, or I'm a love, I'm anna encourage,
• 40:52
  I'm an empower, I'm an uplift because I want to
• 40:56
  see us all win. I want to see us all
• 40:58
  in a posse where we're able to give and receive love,
• 41:02
  where we are genuinely happy. I want to be able
• 41:05
  to move people like that. I want to be able
• 41:07
  to use my story to empower people to encourage people,
• 41:11
  to let people know that it's not where you start
• 41:14
  is how you finish. I want people to know who
• 41:16
  Ashley used to be and who Ashley is today. I
• 41:19
  don't reside at that address anymore. So stop allowing people
• 41:22
  to put you back at an address that you have
• 41:24
  walked away from. Stop allowing people to put you at
• 41:26
  a house that you no longer live in. You understand.
• 41:29
  Stop allowing people to keep putting you in a box.
• 41:32
  Stop people. Stop allowing people to continue to hold the
• 41:36
  old you over your head, because guess what, that's not
• 41:39
  you anymore. But we allow people to do that, and
• 41:44
  we constantly are explaining to people. Stop explaining to people
• 41:48
  of who you used to be, because who you are
• 41:53
  today and who you used to be that's two different people.
• 41:57
  Some of y'all don't understand that, and repeat that who
• 42:01
  you used to be and who you are today are
• 42:03
  two different people, two two different people. Because you're no
• 42:09
  longer live with that address. You understand. You're not who
• 42:12
  you were ten years ago. Hell, you're not who you
• 42:14
  were yesterday. You're not gonna be who you are today tomorrow.
• 42:18
  So stop letting people box you in. Stop letting people
• 42:22
  hold foolishness over your head and you're constantly explaining to people.
• 42:27
  We're at a period in our lives. We're at a
• 42:30
  season in our lives where we're no longer explaining stuff
• 42:33
  to people. Okay, we're no longer explaining to people while
• 42:36
  we're cutting them off because they know what they're doing.
• 42:41
  And I'm not gonna keep explaining to you how you
• 42:43
  keep hurting me. So what I'm gonna do is I'm
• 42:45
  just gonna cut you off and I'm gonna leave you
• 42:47
  to the miserable life that you sit in because misery
• 42:50
  loves company, and I don't want to invite in a
• 42:54
  letter that sent to you if it's not what you want,
• 42:57
  return to send the baby, return it, send it, put
• 43:00
  it in the trash. Stop responding to those liabilities, and
• 43:06
  start talking to your assets. I'm gonna say that. I'm
• 43:11
  gonna say that, stop entertaining liabilities and talk to your assets.
• 43:17
  We're done. We are in a season. Let me say this.
• 43:20
  We are in a period of our life. We're in
• 43:22
  the last quarter of twenty twenty four. Okay, we got
• 43:29
  three months. We're not explaining anything to anybody in twenty
• 43:33
  twenty five. Do you hear me. I'm gonna tell you
• 43:36
  right now, stop explaining stuff to people. Stop being selfish,
• 43:43
  and be selfish with yourself. You understand, that's what you do.
• 43:48
  Stop allowing people to make you step out of character,
• 43:51
  do you understand. Stop allowing people to invite you to
• 43:54
  the circus where you show up and you are the clouds. Y'all.
• 43:58
  Don't hear me, y'all, don't hear me. I don't care
• 44:04
  how many invitations people send to you, send them back,
• 44:08
  Send them back. If these people are not looking out
• 44:13
  for you in the best interest, or they are not genuine,
• 44:16
  send the invitation back. Stop reading every letter that's written
• 44:20
  to you. I'm gonna say that again. Stop reading every
• 44:29
  letter that's addressed to you. Stop it. Stop going to
• 44:35
  the circus where you are the clown. Stop sitting amongst
• 44:39
  people that sit with the enemy. You understand, because if
• 44:42
  they're talking about them, you best believe, baby, they're talking
• 44:45
  about you. But y'all love to sit amongst those people.
• 44:48
  Oh that's my friend, Oh I love her, Oh I
• 44:51
  love him, And then they turn around and do exactly
• 44:55
  what you thought they weren't gonna do. But these your friends.
• 45:00
  Mm hmm. Y'all better be mindful with who y'all call friends.
• 45:04
  Y'all better be mindful with who you call brother and sister,
• 45:08
  because not everyone deserves that title. It's okay to call
• 45:11
  people an associate. It's okay to say, oh yeah, I
• 45:14
  just know them in passing, because friends don't. Don't don't
• 45:21
  turn around and stab you in the back. Friends don't
• 45:24
  do you the way you thought they never would. Those
• 45:27
  them liabilities I was telling you about. That's the rashest
• 45:31
  I'm telling y'all about. That's them tumors I keep telling
• 45:34
  y'all about. Those are those tumors that I tell y'all
• 45:37
  stop feeding them. But y'all want to do it. Okay,
• 45:45
  So while we're partying and celebrating and have a good
• 45:48
  having a good old time and you're sitting over there crying,
• 45:54
  maybe you'll let them liabilities go. Maybe you'll be mindful
• 45:58
  about who you call your friends. Maybe you'll be mindful
• 46:00
  about who you're called. Bro insists. See a lot of
• 46:05
  y'all not gonna like me after tonight, And that's fine, okay,
• 46:09
  because I don't get up here and do this for likes.
• 46:12
  I do this because this is my purpose. I do
• 46:14
  this because this is what God has ordained me to do.
• 46:17
  God has told me, asked. You got a big mouth,
• 46:19
  so I need you to utilize it in the most
• 46:22
  positive fashion ever. Okay, So I'm here doing what God
• 46:29
  told me to do. This is my purpose, This was
• 46:31
  my calling. This wasn't anybody else. That's okay. This was
• 46:34
  designed specifically for me. This is my story, and I
• 46:40
  get a chance to rewrite it every chance I get,
• 46:43
  I get it. I get my pencil, and I get
• 46:45
  to erase until I'm ready to write and pen You
• 46:48
  understand because my story changes every day. My life changes
• 46:51
  every day. Your life changes every day, Your situation changes
• 46:54
  every day. Because your situation today may not be your
• 46:56
  situation tomorrow. The people that are in your life today
• 46:59
  may not be there tomorrow. Or whatever God has or
• 47:01
  day in for you may not be what's for you today.
• 47:03
  It may be for you tomorrow, It may be for
• 47:05
  you next month, it may be for you next year.
• 47:07
  But I just need you to hold on. That's all
• 47:10
  I need to do. I just need you to hold on,
• 47:14
  just hold on and don't give up. But I also
• 47:19
  want you to praise God on them good days. I
• 47:22
  want you to pray and I want you to thank
• 47:23
  God for where you are right now. You understand because
• 47:26
  I'm gonna tell you all this. There are people right
• 47:28
  now that are one call away from losing their job.
• 47:31
  There's a person one call away from losing their house
• 47:34
  or their apartment. There's a person one call away from
• 47:37
  losing their car. You understand what I'm saying. There's a
• 47:40
  person right now that is wondering, how am I gonna
• 47:42
  pay my rent next month? How am I gonna pay
• 47:44
  my mortgage next month? How am I gonna feed my
• 47:46
  babies tomorrow? You understand because this is my last paycheck.
• 47:50
  So I need you to start embracing what you have
• 47:52
  and stop obsessing what you don't have. You understand. Be
• 47:57
  happy in the moment, because that moment could be gone tomorrow.
• 48:03
  Celebrated today, you could be gone tomorrow. Your situation may
• 48:08
  change tomorrow. It could go from bad to worse. It
• 48:10
  could go from worse to good, to great to better.
• 48:14
  That's what I want y'all to do. We have the ability.
• 48:20
  You understand, God can step in in any moment and
• 48:23
  change your situation. Just like God to give it to you,
• 48:26
  God could easily come and take it away from you.
• 48:29
  So be humble, Stop being boastful, stop being prideful. You
• 48:35
  understand and humble yourself. A lot of y'all don't understand that.
• 48:40
  I see a lot of y'all on social media. You're boasting,
• 48:43
  you're bragging, and then your turnaround and it's gone, And
• 48:47
  then what, I'm a boast for the moment. I'm a
• 48:53
  boss because I'm alive right now. I'm a boss because
• 48:55
  I'm a boast because I have a roof over my
• 48:57
  head right now, I have a vehicle right now, I'm employed.
• 49:01
  Right now. I'm celebrating that because that could all change tomorrow.
• 49:11
  And let me say this, in your words, change the
• 49:15
  way you speak over yourself. Change it because words are powerful.
• 49:23
  Words are everything. I know we're tired, y'all. I know
• 49:31
  we're overwhelmed. I know we're drained. I know I'm mentally
• 49:34
  where it's supposed to be. But we have to stop
• 49:38
  speaking those words over us because words become actions. So
• 49:47
  let's change the way we speak. And I'm not asking
• 49:51
  you to do this right now, one day at a time.
• 49:57
  I want y'all to just learn to love yourself. I
• 49:59
  really want y'all to embrace who you are and where
• 50:02
  you are. Stop looking at everybody as a competition. Stop
• 50:07
  trying to compete with people, because your journey will never
• 50:10
  look like mine. My journey would never look like yours.
• 50:15
  Stop viewing everybody as a competition. Everybody's not your competition.
• 50:23
  Sometimes God sends people to help you, not hinder you.
• 50:27
  But that's where discernment comes in, and a lot of
• 50:31
  y'all don't know the difference. Just like the devil was
• 50:37
  once the angel he was. Does God move, He does,
• 50:48
  but on his time. But you got to put in
• 50:50
  the work and you got to stay on the course.
• 50:54
  You got to learn how to give up every time
• 50:56
  it gets tough. Tough times don't last. It may be
• 51:02
  your situation right now, but like I told you, it
• 51:05
  may not be your situation tomorrow, next week, next month,
• 51:07
  next year, two years from not, five years from now,
• 51:09
  five years from now, ten years from now. You're gonna
• 51:11
  look back on this day and you're gonna say, man,
• 51:15
  I remember I was stressing, and look where I'm at now, sick,
• 51:19
  hair falling out, wait, going up and down. But look
• 51:23
  at me now. God could pick you up and change
• 51:27
  your situation tomorrow. God could pick up and change your
• 51:32
  situation now, right now, in this moment, you may get
• 51:37
  the email you've been waiting on. You may get the
• 51:39
  phone call you've been so eagerly waiting for. You may
• 51:43
  get the job that you've been applying for twenty two times,
• 51:46
  and this twenty third time that you apply may be
• 51:48
  the one. Giving up is easy. It's an easy thing
• 51:57
  for us to do. Oh, I'm just gonna give up.
• 52:01
  I don't want to do this too hard. We do that.
• 52:09
  We always give up. We always are ready to throw
• 52:11
  on a towel when things don't go our way, when
• 52:14
  the path gets bumpy, when it gets rocky, when the
• 52:16
  car runs out of gas, were ready to leave the
• 52:18
  car on the side of the road, ahm, because God
• 52:23
  is gonna send somebody to give you gas to put
• 52:26
  in your car to get to your next destination. We think,
• 52:32
  because it didn't go right the first time, that we
• 52:35
  don't get up and and don't do it again you're
• 52:38
  supposed to. God is a giver of chances. God is
• 52:44
  a man of clarity, never confusion. Sometimes God sends people
• 52:50
  when you least expect it, and it's always the person
• 52:54
  you least expect. But you gotta be mindful of those people.
• 53:02
  Sometimes God will send them to test you discernmon is real?
• 53:08
  Mh it is? What's the word maleficent that I said? Right? Yeah, mellon,
• 53:18
  I can't never say the word. Y'all forgive me. So
• 53:24
  Edwe says I needed this so bad. Thank you for
• 53:27
  pouring into me. Yo. She says, you better speak. So
• 53:31
  she says, Amen, a word was had this evening. And babe,
• 53:34
  let me tell you something. And you're gonna have a
• 53:36
  word all the time. Edwin says, a man. Yo, she says,
• 53:41
  let it go, y'all absolutely better let it go. Y'all
• 53:44
  better quit holding onto that stuff that's making you sick. Oh,
• 53:48
  let it go. So she didn't say whoa I felt this?
• 53:52
  I felt it? Yoh'll say, keep moving. Edwin says KB
• 54:00
  mad at God in the world because you picked up
• 54:01
  rotten fruit. Accountability is everything, babe. A lot of people
• 54:06
  don't like that word. That a word, and I'm not
• 54:10
  talking about ass. I'm talking about accountability right here. A
• 54:15
  lot of people run from that word. But accountability, babe,
• 54:19
  do you know what happens when you take accountability for things?
• 54:24
  You start to release those loads that you carry all
• 54:28
  this time. You start to release that God starts to
• 54:31
  take that away from you. You understand, God removes that
• 54:35
  from you, one suitcase at a time. But see first,
• 54:37
  before he removes the suitcase, he's gonna make you open
• 54:39
  it up, and it's gonna make you sort through those
• 54:42
  clothes because you have to learn to separate the clean
• 54:44
  from the dirty. Because see, when it's all mixed together,
• 54:51
  you don't know what's clean and what's dirty, so you
• 54:54
  don't know what to separate. Now it's just a big old,
• 54:57
  jumbled mess that you pulled out, this suitcase full of
• 55:00
  drunk and God gives you the test to separate it.
• 55:06
  You got to learn to different differentiate between the clean
• 55:08
  and the dirty, because see, everything that looks clean might
• 55:12
  be dirty, and everything that looks dirty might really be clean.
• 55:15
  Oh okay, I thought I just said a word to somebody.
• 55:19
  I thought somebody said they needed to hear that. I
• 55:21
  know you did, because I see a lot of y'all,
• 55:25
  including me, we're still trying to sort through those suitcases
• 55:28
  because we got a bunch of them with a bunch
• 55:30
  of dirty clothes and a bunch of clean clothes, and
• 55:32
  they all look the same because we didn't mix it
• 55:34
  all together. So now we have to take on the
• 55:37
  task of separating those dirty from the clean. In other words,
• 55:42
  we're learning how to separate liabilities from assets. In other words,
• 55:46
  we're learning how to separate friends from associates. Uh huh,
• 55:50
  Do I need to run that back one more time? Okay,
• 55:52
  I'll see that one more time for y'all. So what
• 55:54
  God is doing? God has made you pull out every
• 55:57
  last one of those suitcases that you push all the
• 55:59
  way to the back of your cloth, is it right?
• 56:00
  Because that's that's what we do. We sweep things under
• 56:03
  the rug. We just don't deal with it because that's
• 56:05
  easy for us, because we've been conditioned to do so,
• 56:08
  you understand. In the black household, that's what we've been
• 56:10
  told to do. Oh, don't worry about that. And so
• 56:12
  guess what. We throw it all the way to the
• 56:14
  back of the closet, We sweep it under the rug,
• 56:16
  We sweep it under the bed until life presents itself. Hello,
• 56:24
  until life presents itself. And then guess what all those
• 56:28
  suitcases that we do to the back of the closet,
• 56:30
  and how we gotta pull them all back out. And
• 56:32
  that's a lot of suitcases we gotta we gotta pull
• 56:36
  all that dust from back up under the bed that
• 56:38
  we swept up under that. You get what I'm saying,
• 56:40
  We gotta pull it back out and we're like, bang
• 56:45
  ooh is dust. I gotta go. I gotta look at
• 56:48
  this again. Yeah, but this time you gotta do a
• 56:51
  one suitcase at a time. Mm hmm. You do, and
• 56:57
  it hurts, it's painful, it's things. Then you're overcome, then
• 57:04
  overwhelmed with emotion. Now you're mad. But after the madness subsides,
• 57:11
  pain sets in. It hurts because now we're trying to
• 57:16
  figure out, God, what are you trying to show me?
• 57:20
  God is trying to show you that you don't have
• 57:24
  to carry the suitcases. It's okay to unpack them. So,
• 57:29
  in other words, it's okay to let that go. It's
• 57:31
  okay to separate the clean clothes from the dirty clothes.
• 57:33
  You understand, it's okay. It's okay to heal, it's okay
• 57:39
  to be pain free, it's okay to be worry free.
• 57:42
  It's okay, but you got to do a one suitcase
• 57:46
  at a time. See, the problem with us is we
• 57:50
  want everything to go away right now. We want the
• 57:52
  pain to go away right now, and I'm not talking
• 57:55
  about yesterday. I'm talking about right now. When we want
• 57:58
  the pain to go away, we want the feeling the
• 58:00
  go away, We want everything that we've experienced in life
• 58:03
  to go away right now. Doesn't work that way, unfortunately.
• 58:12
  You gotta sort through those suitcases. You got to sort
• 58:18
  through the grief, the pain, the anger, the frustration. Those
• 58:23
  are those suitcases, despair, loneliness. We gotta sort through those.
• 58:30
  We gotta separate that. We gotta work through the anger first.
• 58:36
  Then we deal with the sadness because through the anger
• 58:39
  comes to sadness, the pain. Because now we got to
• 58:45
  pull these band aids off because we we bandashed them
• 58:48
  up our entire lives because we didn't want to deal
• 58:51
  with it, because we didn't know how to deal with it.
• 58:55
  So now God says, I've helped you work through your anger.
• 59:00
  Now let me heal you, and you got to take
• 59:03
  off every band aid. In other words, you have to
• 59:07
  be open, You have to be vulnerable, and you have
• 59:10
  to be ready mentally, spiritually, physically, emotionally. You do and
• 59:20
  a lot of us aren't ready for that. That's that accountability. Accountability.
• 59:29
  You have to recognize your anger. You have to recognize
• 59:31
  the pain. You have to recognize the frustration. You got
• 59:34
  to recognize the hurt, the grief. You have to recognize
• 59:41
  the loneliness, the despair, all of these emotions. Happy. I
• 59:51
  gotta go through that. It hurts, it's painful, it's easy
• 59:58
  to give up. This is too hard. I just can't
• 1:00:01
  do this anymore. How are you gonna be heal? How
• 1:00:04
  are you gonna be a better person? How are those
• 1:00:07
  sores and those wounds gonna heal if you keep them
• 1:00:09
  covered up? You can't keep saying you want to be
• 1:00:18
  a better person if you don't surrender. Don't you want
• 1:00:27
  to be free from those restraints. Don't you want to
• 1:00:33
  be free from the jail that you've created for yourself.
• 1:00:36
  Don't you want to be free from the dark. Don't
• 1:00:38
  you want to sit in the light? Being in the
• 1:00:43
  darkest lonely. It's a lonely place, and can't nobody get
• 1:00:47
  we can't see you. Come on into the light, come
• 1:00:53
  on the other side with us. Where there's joy, where
• 1:00:56
  there's laughter, where there's happines, it's genuine happiness. If you
• 1:01:03
  ask me today how I feel right now? I'm happy
• 1:01:08
  because I'm pouring into somebody, because I'm loving on somebody,
• 1:01:16
  I'm helping somebody, so I'm happy. I'm at peace with that,
• 1:01:22
  you know, because I want to see y'all smile. I
• 1:01:27
  want to see you joyful. I want to see you celebrating.
• 1:01:30
  I want to see you living life and not just existing.
• 1:01:37
  I'm sorry, y'all. I know I said I wasn't gonna
• 1:01:39
  get emotional, but I don't know. I just I want
• 1:01:42
  to see y'all win, I do. I want to see
• 1:01:49
  everyone happy. I want to see everyone here. I want
• 1:01:52
  to see everyone in the space of peace, you understand.
• 1:01:56
  I want to see that, especially in the black community.
• 1:02:01
  I want to see the support amongst all of us,
• 1:02:06
  genuine support. No more jealousy, no more envy, no more pride.
• 1:02:12
  I wish for that, although I know that will never
• 1:02:15
  go away, but I wish for that because we're winners.
• 1:02:21
  You know, we're all gifted. We're all gifted and edwin.
• 1:02:29
  Yoshi says, God has his hands on you, and Yoshi,
• 1:02:34
  everyone says thank you so much. Edyone says, what if
• 1:02:38
  we are the enemy facts and we all we are
• 1:02:43
  our own worst enemy. We really truly are. We dim
• 1:02:48
  our own lights, We block our potential with doubt, doubt.
• 1:03:00
  Let other people come in and influence the way you believe,
• 1:03:03
  in the way you think. That's the liabilities I was
• 1:03:07
  telling you all about. That's the liabilities, baby, and them
• 1:03:10
  liabilities never want to see you win. They're like leeches, bloodsuckers.
• 1:03:15
  They want to drain the life from you, and we
• 1:03:18
  let them. Those are the same people we call friends.
• 1:03:24
  Those are the ones. Tashina says. Let God lead your
• 1:03:30
  path of greatness at one Yoh says, He will make
• 1:03:33
  your enemies your footstove. Let him have his way with you, babe.
• 1:03:37
  Because baby, when you let go and you let God
• 1:03:39
  have us way with you, jaes, I tell you God
• 1:03:47
  is done beautiful things for me. God has kept me
• 1:03:55
  on my darkest days. God has been my life on
• 1:04:01
  those days that I've attempted to take my life. God say,
• 1:04:05
  ah ah, I'm not ready for you yet. You have
• 1:04:09
  a purpose and I need you to find it. Okay,
• 1:04:16
  I got you. I got you. So God wants you
• 1:04:24
  to dig deep. What's your purpose? Do you know what
• 1:04:29
  your purpose is? Do you know where you want your
• 1:04:34
  final destination to be? Some of us don't know. I
• 1:04:43
  don't even know you know what? Yes, I do I
• 1:04:46
  take that back. Yeah, I do. I do, And that's
• 1:04:51
  happiness and peace. My final destination will be happiness and
• 1:04:56
  peace and joy. It won't be pain, it won't be missing,
• 1:05:00
  it won't be anger. Mm hmm, love, peace, stability. It's
• 1:05:10
  my final destination. That's where I'm gonna be and pure,
• 1:05:13
  unadulterated happiness. Looking at my beautiful children grow, looking at
• 1:05:18
  my wonderful husband, all of our children, me and me,
• 1:05:23
  and think that we have six kids together. I'm a
• 1:05:27
  grandmama to too. Mm hm. My final destination is joy
• 1:05:35
  because when judgment Day rolls around and I have to
• 1:05:37
  stand before God, because God is gonna pull out that list, y'all.
• 1:05:40
  He's gonna pull out that list and say uh huh,
• 1:05:43
  uh huh. He gonna look it over and he's gonna say,
• 1:05:45
  I remember you was petty. I'na say yes, God, and
• 1:05:49
  he's gonna keep scrolling and he's gonna bypass those bad parts.
• 1:05:53
  You will understand because God don't care about the bad
• 1:05:56
  parts because he fixed that. He laid down his life
• 1:05:59
  for those bad parts. But he's gonna look at the
• 1:06:01
  good and he's gonna say, I'm proud of you. Uh
• 1:06:03
  huh see you almost gave up, but you didn't. And
• 1:06:06
  then he's gonna keep scrolling. He's gonna say, ah, huh,
• 1:06:08
  look at this time, you almost you almost gave up,
• 1:06:10
  but look at you. You stuck the course. And then
• 1:06:14
  God is gonna ask me, do you feel like your
• 1:06:18
  destiny was fulfilled on earth? And I want to honestly
• 1:06:20
  be able to tell God yes. I want to look
• 1:06:24
  at God and I want to say yes, and I
• 1:06:27
  want to thank God for all the trials and tribulations
• 1:06:30
  he took me through. I want to thank God for
• 1:06:32
  every weapon that formed against me that didn't prosper, because
• 1:06:35
  there was a lot of them. It was a lot
• 1:06:38
  of them. So that's what we want to do on
• 1:06:41
  Judgment Day. We want to stand before God and we
• 1:06:44
  want to tell God, thank you for the bad times too,
• 1:06:48
  not just the good, but the bad, because without the bad,
• 1:06:51
  you couldn't get to the good. See. Remember I told y'all,
• 1:06:55
  everybody wants the roses, everybody wants the beautiful picture, but
• 1:06:58
  no one wants to go through the trials and tribulations
• 1:07:02
  it took to get to this rainbow. Everybody want to
• 1:07:07
  see it rain but nobody wants to get wet. It's
• 1:07:12
  okay to get wet a little bit. It's okay because
• 1:07:18
  it's gonna prepare you for the other side. So yeah,
• 1:07:23
  I want to stand before God. Don't judgment dre And
• 1:07:25
  I want to tell God, thank you, thank you for
• 1:07:28
  the bad times because those were my lessons because the
• 1:07:31
  bad taught me the good. The bad showed me the good.
• 1:07:35
  The bad showed me. Oh, I don't want to do
• 1:07:37
  this no more. I don't want to touch that no more.
• 1:07:39
  I won't go do that no more. The bad is
• 1:07:44
  gonna show you how the next time you encounter this situation,
• 1:07:48
  you don't always have to address it. Sometimes just leave
• 1:07:51
  it where it's at. Leave it there. You ain't gotta
• 1:07:54
  go back and pick it up because God say, I've
• 1:07:56
  already handled that for you. Stop going back picking up
• 1:07:59
  stuff that I've already handled for you. But we're human,
• 1:08:05
  We're in the flesh. That's what we're gonna do. It's
• 1:08:08
  human nature, is Oh man, I I want to just
• 1:08:12
  go back and and I want to leave it where
• 1:08:17
  its at. So Toshina Edwin says, God got you too.
• 1:08:24
  He cares that he knows the battle is the Lord's
• 1:08:26
  Why was I listening to this song the other day,
• 1:08:30
  and Han, he said, no matter what you're going through, huh,
• 1:08:38
  just remember God is gonna use you for his for
• 1:08:42
  this battle is not yours. It's the lords. Yeah. And
• 1:08:47
  then I found another song. I'm gonna post it on
• 1:08:50
  my page, but I want everyone to go listen. It's
• 1:08:52
  it's by Fred Hammond. It's Breathing to Me Old Lord Songs.
• 1:08:57
  I can't remember the title, but I'm gonna post it
• 1:08:59
  on my I want everyone to go listen to that song.
• 1:09:01
  But when I tell you, like man, that song gets
• 1:09:07
  me every time. And I just tell God, just keep
• 1:09:10
  breathing into me. Just keep breathing into me. Oh Lord,
• 1:09:14
  that's all I ask you to do. Just keep breathing
• 1:09:16
  life into me. God, just keep keep me where you
• 1:09:18
  where you want me to be, keep me where you
• 1:09:20
  need to be, because I know right where I'm at
• 1:09:22
  right now in this moment is not my final destination.
• 1:09:27
  It's not. And I know what my final destination is
• 1:09:32
  gonna look like I told you, it's gonna be joy.
• 1:09:34
  It's gonna be peace. It's gonna be happiness. No more anger,
• 1:09:36
  no more sadness, no more guilt, nor more grief. But happiness.
• 1:09:42
  And although my final destination is that, that's not to
• 1:09:46
  say that then weapons ain't gonna form, you understand, So
• 1:09:49
  just know maybe I told y'all to how you elevate
• 1:09:52
  the busy. The devil is gonna get so your final
• 1:09:54
  destination and weapons will form. But God saying, don't even
• 1:09:57
  worry about it because they're not gonna prosper. You've endured enough,
• 1:10:02
  my child, So now it's time for me to pick
• 1:10:05
  you up. It's time for me to wash you and
• 1:10:07
  make you whole again. Because we were cracked, not broken, cracked,
• 1:10:14
  because see when things are broken there, they're not fixable.
• 1:10:17
  It's not repaarable. So right now we're just cracked. So
• 1:10:20
  in other words, cracked can be repaired. So your heart,
• 1:10:25
  your mind, your spirit might be cracked, but it's repaarable.
• 1:10:30
  God is gonna fix you. God is gonna pick you.
• 1:10:32
  He's gonna pick you up off that sidewalk that he
• 1:10:35
  left you on. Okay, cause see the first time God
• 1:10:38
  came around to pick you up, you wasn't ready. So
• 1:10:40
  God says, guess what, I'm gonna need you to sit
• 1:10:42
  right here on the sidewalk, and when I'm ready to
• 1:10:45
  come and get you. I'll pick you up. You can
• 1:10:48
  walk all you want, but that ain't gonna make me
• 1:10:51
  come back and pick you up faster. Hello, somebody, hm hmm.
• 1:11:01
  God say, yeah, you sit right here on this side,
• 1:11:04
  on this sidewalk, and I want you to think about
• 1:11:06
  everything that you've done, and by the time I come
• 1:11:08
  back to pick you up, you should have learned your lesson.
• 1:11:12
  M h yeah. So it's a lot of us sit
• 1:11:16
  together on the sidewalk. I I know I'm sitting there too,
• 1:11:20
  cause God told me I I'm not ready for what
• 1:11:24
  he's about to take me, for where he's about to
• 1:11:26
  take me. And I said, okay. So he said, i'mnna see.
• 1:11:28
  I'm'a leave you right here on the sidewalk. I'm gonna
• 1:11:30
  put you in time out. So when I come back
• 1:11:34
  to pick you up, you're gonna be ready. And this
• 1:11:37
  time I'm gonna be standing at the stop. I'm be ready. Kay.
• 1:11:43
  So just cause you sitting on the sidewalk don't mean
• 1:11:46
  God ain't gonna double back and pick you up. Now.
• 1:11:49
  I may be a bus of people, okay, Now, I
• 1:11:51
  may be a bus lord of folks, but you have
• 1:11:54
  a seat with your name on it on that bus.
• 1:11:58
  Remember that just because you got left off at this
• 1:12:02
  stop don't mean God is not gonna come back and
• 1:12:06
  pick you up. You understand. But when it comes back,
• 1:12:10
  you have to be ready. And I'm not talking about
• 1:12:13
  ready because you say you ready, but you got to
• 1:12:15
  be mentally ready. You have to be spiritually ready. You
• 1:12:18
  have to be emotionally ready, and you have to be spiritually, emotionally,
• 1:12:23
  physically and emotionally ready. A lot of us ain't ready yet.
• 1:12:31
  We may feel like we're ready, but we're really not ready.
• 1:12:37
  So it's okay. We all sit on the sidewalk, just
• 1:12:40
  as long as somebody bring the high wings and whatever else,
• 1:12:43
  you know, bring the food, and we sit on the
• 1:12:46
  sidewalk together and we can walk this journey together. So
• 1:12:49
  that way, the next time that bus rolls around, we
• 1:12:51
  all getting on it. That's what we're doing. So, no,
• 1:12:57
  you're not by yourself struggling along. You're not sitting on
• 1:13:02
  the sidewalk in the heat by yourself. Were all out
• 1:13:04
  here sweating, But God gonna come back and pick us up,
• 1:13:09
  and we're gonna get to riding the A C. Because

  that means I've won. So because I've arrived at my time,
• 1:21:31
  that means I've won. Mhm. Edwin is winning, My sister,
• 1:21:37
  Yoshi winning, Toshina winning, everybody that's tuned in winning Edwin.
• 1:21:46
  They say, this battle is the Lord's and it is
• 1:21:49
  and it is, babycause let me tell you something. God
• 1:21:51
  is always prepared, baby, and he's gonna prevent present us
• 1:21:55
  a suit of armor so we could get ready for
• 1:21:57
  the war too. And we're gonna to come out victorious
• 1:22:00
  in that war. That's what we're doing. We're coming out victorious.
• 1:22:05
  We're coming out on the other side unscathed. You'll get
• 1:22:08
  what I'm saying. Yeah, we'll have a couple of scratches,
• 1:22:11
  maybe a bruise here and there, but guess what, we're
• 1:22:13
  coming out on the other side. We're coming out on top.
• 1:22:20
  Because just because you took it from me, don't mean
• 1:22:22
  God ain't gonna replace it. So you can have that.
• 1:22:26
  Everything you took from me, baby, you can have if
• 1:22:28
  you feel like that is making your life better. Baby,
• 1:22:31
  you can have whatever you took for me because you
• 1:22:34
  ain't no but a thief. And trust and believe. My
• 1:22:39
  God is the police. My God is is the cops.
• 1:22:44
  So guess what, everything that we've allowed people to take
• 1:22:48
  from us, God is about to go get it back.
• 1:22:50
  And guess what, baby, He gonna give it to us
• 1:22:53
  tenfold too. So let them people have it. Let them say,
• 1:22:57
  a people that took your joy, your peace, all all
• 1:22:59
  the people they took all that, let them have that
• 1:23:01
  because guess what God is about to let you tenfold.
• 1:23:03
  God is about to increase your joy, your finances. You
• 1:23:07
  get what I'm saying, God is about to increase all
• 1:23:10
  of that for you. But just knowing twenty twenty five,
• 1:23:14
  we're no longer letting thieves in our house. And I
• 1:23:19
  don't just mean your physical house. I'm talking about We're
• 1:23:21
  no longer letting them in our space. We're sitting in
• 1:23:26
  all thieves to jail. Goodbye, goodbye. I've drawn that line
• 1:23:34
  in the sand and you can't cross it. That's what
• 1:23:38
  God is about to do. God is replacing. God is
• 1:23:43
  in the winning season right now, and we're in the
• 1:23:46
  last quarter of the year. So guess what these last
• 1:23:50

• 1:24:07
  you have separated them clean clothes on their dirty clothes,
• 1:24:10
  leave it where it's at. Do not bring that with you.
• 1:24:14
  And I said, so leave it. Leave that dirty, dusty
• 1:24:21
  suitcase where it is, because see, God has a new
• 1:24:24
  bag for you. God got a brand new bag. What
• 1:24:27

  And on that note, I'm gonna go ahead and bring
• 1:26:38
  the episode to a clothes So tonight's talk to me Tuesday.
• 1:26:43
  Somebody needed a word. I don't know who needed a word,
• 1:26:46
  but I'm glad that I was able to give it
• 1:26:47
  to you. I'm glad I was able to pour into you.
• 1:26:49
  I'm glad I was able to love on you unconditionally
• 1:26:52
  and without restraints. You understand I was able to love
• 1:26:54
  you freely. And I'm never expecting anything in return because
• 1:26:58
  I'm blessed and i'm highly you get what I'm saying
• 1:27:01
  my rewards come from God, my regards. Like I say,
• 1:27:05
  everything I do, I do this because this is what
• 1:27:07
  I enjoy doing. I love doing this. I love being
• 1:27:10
  able to pour into somebody. I love being able to
• 1:27:13
  love on somebody. I love being able to tell somebody
• 1:27:15
  I think you're doing a fantastic job. I love being
• 1:27:18
  able to tell somebody you're beautiful today. I love being
• 1:27:21
  able to tell some man you're handsome, sir. I love
• 1:27:24
  being able to tell a man, I'm proud of you, sir,
• 1:27:26
  keep up the good work. I love. I love being
• 1:27:29
  able to look at my sources and say, you know,
• 1:27:31
  I'm proud of you, and I love you. And I
• 1:27:33
  do it genuinely. I do this with no expectations. I
• 1:27:36
  do it limitless, no restraints. This is what I do,
• 1:27:44
  and I love doing it. I enjoy doing this. Not
• 1:27:48
  only do y'all do. Am I able to help y'all,
• 1:27:50
  but y'all help me because again, sometimes people will see
• 1:27:56
  your life that you don't see, and I appreciate that.
• 1:28:00
  I appreciate the love. I appreciate the support, I appreciate
• 1:28:03
  the encouragement. I appreciate that on my days that I'm
• 1:28:07
  not so good that someone will message me and say
• 1:28:11
  you know it since I love you, or someone will
• 1:28:14
  posting on a comment and say I'm proud of you.
• 1:28:19
  I do this effortlessly. I do this because I want
• 1:28:24
  to really, truly make a difference in the world. I
• 1:28:28
  may not make a big difference, but I want to
• 1:28:30
  make some difference. I want to know that before I
• 1:28:34
  leave here, that my purpose has been fulfilled. That's the
• 1:28:41
  only reason. This is why I do this. It's joy
• 1:28:46
  for me, it's peace for me. It's therapeutic for me
• 1:28:49
  because you guys let me take y'all are my real
• 1:28:52
  life journal. I could be transparent with you guys, and
• 1:28:58
  it's no judgment. I love this. I love the space
• 1:29:05
  that I created not only for me, but for y'all.
• 1:29:08
  I love this. I love that we get on here
• 1:29:10
  and we talk about everything, no holds barred conversations. And
• 1:29:14
  I love the fact that everyone respects everybody. I love
• 1:29:17
  the fact that other people pour into other people. No,
• 1:29:20
  you don't have to know anybody to pour into somebody.
• 1:29:24
  I love that part. But the greatest part of all
• 1:29:28
  is that I'm able to wake up every day and
• 1:29:30
  I'm able to do this and Yoshit says I do
• 1:29:35
  it with ease. I do. There's some days I'm telling y'all,
• 1:29:42
  I get up here and I'm just like, man, I've
• 1:29:45
  had a rough day to day. Man, my energy is
• 1:29:47
  not good. How do I push through? And then I
• 1:29:53
  see things like hey, my gorgeous things when people say
• 1:30:03
  you're doing a great job, I'm proud of you. I
• 1:30:08
  love that. Black Girl Interrupted would not be where it
• 1:30:13
  is today if it weren't for y'all. Not me, y'all.
• 1:30:20
  I just get up here and do what I'm asked
• 1:30:22
  to do, and that's give y'all a good show to
• 1:30:26
  pour into somebody, to encourage somebody, to uplift somebody. That's
• 1:30:31
  what I'm here to do. I love y'all. I genuinely
• 1:30:38
  mean that. Like I say, I don't do this for
• 1:30:42
  like's views, money, I don't care about any of that.
• 1:30:46
  I just want to make a difference. I just want
• 1:30:49
  somebody to say, and I caught one of your episode's man,
• 1:30:53
  thank you. That's it. That's why I do this. I
• 1:31:00
  get pure joy from this. I don't know what more
• 1:31:08
  to say about. Like I said, I just I love
• 1:31:11
  doing this. I enjoy doing this. I'll keep doing it
• 1:31:17
  as long as God allows me to do it. I'll
• 1:31:18
  keep doing this. I'll keep encouraging, I'll keep empowering, I'll
• 1:31:23
  keep uplifting out whatever. I'll keep doing it until God
• 1:31:28
  says differently. But as of right now, I'm just getting started,
• 1:31:35
  and I thank God for everything that was easy for
• 1:31:42
  me to get through tonight. But on a different note,
• 1:31:46

• 1:31:50
