Speaker 1 (00:00):
I kind of I kind of want to talk about
something that's that's on me right now. Uh. I want
to talk a little bit about expectations, and I want
to talk about patience. But I'm gonna throw one more
thing in that I'm gonna put need in there. Need

(00:22):
expectations and patience. Uh. It's something that I've been praying about,
you know, and I've been asking God for it for
quite some time and it hasn't gotten here. And He
knows exactly what I need. So as I'm saying this

(00:42):
to you, I want you all to imagine yourself and
plug in your need. So I'm talking to God right
and I'm asking God for something that I need and
I know I need it because it would it would
make some things go so much better, so much SMA,
so much easier. Just overall, it would just help in

(01:05):
so many areas. So I've been praying about it and
it hasn't gotten here yet. And so my oldest sister
texted me the other day and I didn't get back
to her, and so just last night she texted me
again and just said, Hey, could you answer my text?
I hope things are well with you, Love Mona, And

(01:28):
so I text her back and I told everything was fine.
I just been working so much. I said, sometimes I
don't get to answer your text when you send it
to me right away because I'll be on the set
of something, I'll be doing something. I said, but I
get them and I appreciate them. And then I told
my oldest sister. I asked her to please pray for me.

(01:51):
I said, I pray for a breakthrough for me, something
I've been asking God for, so I can just you know, take,
you know, relax a little bit about this situation. And
I went on to tell my sister that's hard being
successful and stuff like that, and I said, but we're good.

(02:12):
I'm just working real hard. I told I love you,
and then I said, let me know if you need something.
She text me back the simplest thing. Now, Remember, now,
I've told you that I was asking God for something
that I needed and I had been waiting for it,

(02:32):
and I'm almost out of patience, to be honest with you.
I just thinking it's taken a while, right, And I'm
pretty sure you could feel that way too. Sometimes you
ask God for something and you're living in expectation and
you get, man, what's taking so long? And you're getting
a little impatient. I think that's happened to every person.

(02:53):
My sister simply sent this text backs to me. She said,
just take one day at a time. The Lord knows
what he's doing. I'm praying for you. That was her message. Now,
my sister's eighty two years old. She told her brother,

(03:14):
who is like, you know, the family guy that they
can all come to when they need something. But she
simplified it for me so easy. She said, just take
one day at a time. The Lord knows what he's doing.
And do you know how much better that made me feel?
I simply, Becka said. I text her back. I said, okay,

(03:36):
I will because you know this thing that I've been
asking God for that I so desperately feel like I need,
and I keep expecting it to happen, but I'm starting
to lose patience about it. My sister says something so simple,
if you just take one day at a time, the

(03:57):
Lord knows what he's doing. And if I look at it.
In her simple way of talking to her brother, she
knows me very well. Her simple way of talking to
me was letting me know that if you just keep
waking up and keep doing what you're doing. God got

(04:17):
all this under control. He know what he doing, and
you know what he always has. He's always known what
he's doing always. He ain't never not known what he
was doing. Even when I thought I wanted it to
go another way, and he worked it out a different way.

(04:39):
It was for the best, and so I just had
to grab myself and go, okay, I will And it
made me feel better because I said, Okay, man, I'm
actually okay. I do actually keep waking up. I do
keep somehow surviving at all. I'm not just surviving, I'm

(05:01):
actually thriving. I'm going through it, but I'm getting through it.
It's taking a while, but it's in the process and
God does know what he's doing. So that settled it
for me. So I'm saying to you, if there's something

(05:22):
you've been praying about, something that you need, and you're
living your life and the expectation because you know he
gonna deliver it for you, but you done got a
little bit impatient with it, like I have, just taking
a day at a time. God knows exactly what he's doing.
He's working on something on your behalf that you don't
even know about. And when he give it to you.

(05:44):
It's gonna fix it all, probably better than you could
have ever imagined. Those are my closing remarks. Just something
to think about. Yeah, wow, that put things in perspective. Yeah,
come stop playing in the day. Well tell us Steve.
