Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, it's Delilah. Thank you for stopping by. I have
put together some of my favorite radio moments here to
share with you on our daily podcast. Hello there, my friend.
Do you ever compare yourself to others to measure your worth?
(00:24):
It is so easy to fall into that trap, especially
in the world of social media. In social media, everybody
compares themselves. Embrace your unique gifts, your unique talents, Embrace
the great qualities only you possess, and stop comparing yourself.
(00:46):
There is only one you. There is only one you
in the whole universe. Be the very best version you
can be of yourself, and stop comparing yourself to anybody else.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Welcome to the Delilah Show. Who's this is this?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Jody?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Jody? How can I make your night a little less stressful?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Well, short story, I'm struggling with anorexia and I have
been for quite some time before I even knew what
it was. During that time, I got married to my
childhood sweetheart that ended in divorce. We had two beautiful
children and I missed them a great deal. I haven't
(01:31):
been able to see them in about three weeks, and
I just wanted to let them know how sorry I
am for affecting their life in such a negative way
and that Mommy's going to get better.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
What are their names, Jody, Kyle, and Christina.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I can tell from the words you're choosing that you're
doing everything in your power.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I hope to get better.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I'm surrounding myself with God and positive people trying to.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
And people that can love you through this.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah. I'm in an assistant listed living program and I'm
trying very hard to get into an aiding disorder clinic
where I live. And it's very scary, and my kids
are paying for it all. They live with their dad
and they don't want to They want to be with me,
(02:19):
and I can't take care of them right now.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
No, because right now you've got to take care of yourself.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
But you know, there's a time for everything, and right
now the time is for Jody to get healthy and
to let God heal whatever is so broken in your
heart that you're starving yourself.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
There's so many things. I just want them to know
how powering I am.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
All right, and you stop beating yourself up because that's
not going to help you get well, and you can
start accepting that responsibility. And you're already doing everything in
your power to get healthy. So pat yourself on the
back for that and know that in the right time,
you will be back with your children.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
That's what I'm praying for.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Hi, good evening, Welcome to the Delilah Show. Who is this?
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
This is Donna Javaidah.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Hi Donna? What can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Oh? I talked to you about a year and a
half ago, and I would like to thank you for
changing my life, for changing my attitude, my whole way
of thinking about men.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
And I did all of that in a conversation.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yes, you did.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
How did we accomplish this?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Donna?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Oh? I called you on the phone and I was
whining and moaning and growing and wallowing and self pity
about my husband leaving me for my so called best
friend and marrying her. And I was wanting him back,
and I was wanting you to play a song to
get him.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Back from And I said, what are you thinking?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
You called me pathetic?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I said, stop being pathetic, does not deserve you groveling
after I remember this call.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
It took you calling me pathetic for me to get
up on my feet and realize I did not need him,
I did not need anyone I needed myself and I
prayed a lot. And God, not only not only.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Were you groveling after him, but you were telling me
you didn't deserve someone in your life who adored you
and was good to you. Yes, And I'm like, what
are you talking about. You sound like a sweet lady.
You sound like you wouldn't hurt a flea.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Yes, you're not manipuloy if.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
You're not conniving, you weren't hurtful. And yet you thought
you deserved less than real love.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Yes, I did.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
And where are you at now in your life.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I'm in a relationship of about six months and it's
going very well, and life is beautiful. It couldn't really
get any better. It took you, though, to pick me
up and get me there. And I was wondering if
you could play a song about getting out of a relationship,
(04:57):
realizing you're a woman, woman, be.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Strong, realizing I'd been there, done that.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, and you've healed and you've recognized your worth. Yeah,
let me find a song for you. I am so
glad to hear from you. God bless you.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Oh, God, bless you too, and thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
You're welcome, Hi, Welcome to the Delilah Show. Who's this?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
This is Mary?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Mary?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
What can I do to make your night a little
more special?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well?
Speaker 6 (05:34):
I don't want to make it sound like it's selfish,
but I kind of went a little celebration song for myself.
After having two children, I got it my heaviest, which
happens to about everybody, I think, and I started a
weight loss challenge and I just ended this week and
found out that I have lost sixty three pounds and
(05:57):
thirty and a half inches. And I have two small
I have one a's four and one that's one, and
I now run and play with them and just have
a ball. And my relationship with my husband is totally different.
And it's because of my attitude change, you know. And
it's my little miracle. That's a big miracle, it will,
you know, it's my own personal little.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Miracle that's like the size of a fourth grader. You've lost? Well, yeah, yeah,
I'm so proud of you.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Well, I am pretty proud of myself.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Actually, So was it fun to go shopping?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Now?
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Yeah? I haven't done it yet. Actually, my sister in
law wants to go with.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Me, and so what are you wearing? Everything must be
like dance on you.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Now, most everything is pretty baggy. I have a few
things that I had, some goal clothes that I wanted
to get into because I had gained so much, and
I'm in those and some of them I'm past that,
you know. So I am extremely happy.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
And how much more do you want to lose?
Speaker 6 (06:57):
I have another hundred that I need to lose.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
And is your husband just so proud of how hard
you're working to do this?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Yes he is. He's one of my biggest fans.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
And did he love you unconditionally regardless of your science?
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Yes he does. And he tells me every day how
wonderful I'm doing, and he reassures me, reassures me that
I no matter what I look like, he loves me.
But he's proud of me, and he just means.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
The world to me.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
He really does.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
What's his name?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
His name is Es?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
All right, let me find a good song for both
of them. Hi, good evening. This is Delilah, who's with
me on the phone line.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
This is Emily.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Emily, what can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Well, I've heard a lot of ladies call in tonight. Well,
I guess almost every night single mothers, and I am
a thirty year old single mother of a three year
old and a four year old. I am also a
full time student and a part time employee.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Oh my word, but how do you juggle all those balls? Honey?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I do not know. I really truly do not know,
other than God sustains me daily. But I really don't know.
I'm I'm studying for my bachelor's in chemistry with applied
forensic science, and so it gets pretty in depth.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
A bachelor's in chemistry with what we've been an emphasis
in forensic science.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
So you're going to track down killers by fingerprints?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
What?
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Yeah, hair, anything good for you?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
But I wanted to.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Say tonight that I really want to encourage the ladies
that are out there that are single mothers that having
a husband or a man is not what.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Makes you complete.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
I am not incomplete because I am a single mother.
God didn't say, Okay, I'll make your husband in my
own image and when you're with him, you'll behole. That's
not what he said. He made us all in his image,
and God has a plan for each one of our lives.
He tells us he gives us a future in a hope,
and that's for each individual life and when you're who
(09:04):
God wants you to be at that time, then if
he brings somebody great. If not, you've got the satisfaction
that knowing that God gave you your children for a
purpose for you to touch their lives.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Plus you don't have to pick up anybody's socks off
the floor and tell them to put this toilet seed down.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
That's exactly right. You have less people to argue with,
but you.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Are so right.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
You know. There are a multitude of different types of
love in this world, the love between a parent and child,
between best friends, between siblings. And to think that you're
incomplete because you don't have romantic love in your life
is foolish.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
It is, and that doesn't mean it's not going to
come and that you can't want for it. But other
things need to be the priority and things will fall
into place. So just surprise me.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I so hope you have enjoyed these radio moments as
much much as I enjoy bringing them to you. I'll
share more with you each weekday on Hey It's Delilah
