Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we are, last break of the day.
It's been a good day as usual. Yeah, it's been fun. Yep,
you're all right.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
It's been one of those days for me. I will
admit that so far. But it's gonna get better. I
always keep my head up. Yeah, you know, which could
lead into these closing remarks because I might as well
talk about something that I was dealing with.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Every morning.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I have a little meditation that I do with daily
inspiration that I read my Bible and a journal that
I take notes in. And I started it doing this
taking these notes the first and I have notes for
practically every single day. I've only missed like three days
from taking notes, just three, and so it's something I've
(00:49):
learned to do, and it starts my day off really,
really well because it gives me a weaponry to guard
against the evil prince palities of the world. You know,
there's so much stimulation out here with social media and
technology and cyberspace and phone calls and messages and texts
(01:13):
that you know, even if you're having a great day,
there's so much stuff out there that can throw you
off if you're not, if you haven't stabilized yourself spiritually.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
And Sunday, when.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I woke up, I was just about to open up
my journal and my daily inspiration.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
But I had left the TV on the night.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
For in the living room, and so I went into
the living room and I was about to sit down
with my books, and I said, man, let me cut
this TV off. And I went over there and I
hit it and it didn't go off for some reason,
and I said, man, what's the deal? And I tried
to hit it and didn't go off, and I just
hit the channel and I hit the channel one time.
I hit the channel one time, and up pops Joel Olstein.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
And so.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I was instead of me opening up my journal in
my daily inspiration, I sat down and cut the y
cut the volume up. I went, Okay, this must be
for me. Maybe he wants me to get this. And
oh my god, oh my goodness, was he correct. Now
I can't tell you exactly what he said, so I'm
(02:27):
a paraphrase it a bit.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
He was talking about people who were have given up
on their dreams.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Now that didn't apply to me, but he said, this
is for people who've given up on your dreams. This
is for people who've been waiting on something for God
for a while, and it hasn't gotten there yet, and
you're starting to feel like maybe it ain't for you.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Are you thinking about giving up on it?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I wasn't quite in that part of it, but I've
been a little discouraged about the fact that something I
had been wanting for a while hadn't happened.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
A lot of people fall into that bracket.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
But a lot of people have fallen into the they
waited so long they just decided it wasn't for them,
and they stopped, or they gave up on their dreams
and their visions. And he was talking about he said,
what you don't realize is that when you ask God
for something, that God is working on it behind the scenes.
(03:32):
He's doing some stuff and orchestrating some stuff and putting
some stuff into play for you.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
That you may very well not even be aware of.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
But if you give up hope, if you stop looking
for it, if you lose the faith, you then stop
the process. Because God don't give you what you want
all the time. He gives you what you believe all
(04:00):
the time. See, you do not always get what you
want because what you want may not be best for you,
or something like that.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
But if you believe God.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
To give you something and he has it for you,
he's going to give it to you.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
But some people just give up hoping for it looking
for it. He said.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
If you've gotten at the point in your life where
you've given up on your dreams, or you think it
ain't coming and you're starting to fade, he said, I
want you to do something. He said, I want you
to look again. And that caught my attention. He said,
I want you to look again.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
He said.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
If you look again and you don't see the blessing coming,
or you don't see the blessing right there, he said,
I want you to look again, he said, And then
if you still don't see it, he said, listen to
me real close, I want you to look again. That
that was the thing that I needed to hear yesterday,
(05:04):
because sometimes, y'all, when you ask God for something and
it don't come in the timeframe that you wanted to
come in, you got to stay patient, you got to
stay watchful, and you got to do like Joe Oldstein said,
you got to look again. And if you look over
there and you still don't see it, stay patient, but
(05:24):
look again, and man on, man on, Man, I can't
tell you how I needed that yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I can't tell you how I need it today.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I can't tell you how often I need that because
so many times, man, so many things go counter to
the way you wanted to go or what you thought
it was gonna be. That you end up and you
start feeling just a little bit discouraged. Sometimes you just
flat out I can't take it no more, and I quit.
But I very rarely get that way, but I do get.
(05:56):
I'm human, you know, so I get moments when I'm man,
this is exhausting because what I'm attempting to do is exhausting.
What you're attempting to do or become, or the point
you're trying to get to.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
It's exhausting.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
But if you're exhausted and you don't feel like it's
happening fast enough, do like Joe Oldstein said, y'all look again,
just look again. He's probably doing something on your behalf
that you're not aware of. Those are my closing remarks
that really helped me. So you know what I'm doing
right now, I'm looking at say I'm looking again.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
