Have you ever felt like life was tearing you apart, only to realize that you were actually being molded into something better? This episode is all about embracing the concept of being gracefully broken, as we explore the painful yet purposeful process of letting go of what no longer serves us. Share our journey as we discuss the sometimes-devastating removal of people, places, and things from our lives, and how we came to realize that such losses are a divine part of our transformation and growth.
Change often arrives in the form of life shake-ups that can be hard to accept. Walk with us as we navigate the road of personal transformation, sharing how we found breakthroughs by submitting to God's will and acknowledging His grace in the breaking. We delve into the unseen facets of life where God shields us from harm, reminding ourselves to relinquish control and follow His lead, even when the path is uncertain.
Our discussion emphasizes on the priceless value of peace of mind, advocating for self-care, and the need to transform into who we are meant to be. We also talk about how our paths may diverge from others, and that's okay. So, join us as we explore the power of surrender and grace, reminding ourselves to be patient, spread love and not hate, and recognizing that healing is a journey.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
I'm having a lovely day.
I listened to a little SarahJigs Roberts this morning.
I'm an Evolve and I was about15 minutes on the air and she
said some.
It was a powerful message.
I only got there 15 minutes butI felt like just praising him
right there this morning.
You know just.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
God is good.
Got a word in 15.

Definitely, definitely.
Yeah, I love her.
She's a lot like me.
You know she's a cancer like metoo A little crappy Patty
sometimes.
Yeah, I'm a crappy Patty.
It's okay, I admit it, you knowthat's okay.
But um, so today's topic, we'regoing to go jump right in, Okay
(01:14):
?
So, oh no, we have to say ourprayer.
We're going to do our prayer wegot to pray first yeah, I got
so excited, I was excited.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
No, no, but that's a good thing.
So here we go, Heavenly Father,we come to you through your son
, just as we are, and we thankyou for this opportunity to this
platform, to have theopportunity to talk about you,
to represent you, and we praythat you increase in us and that
we decrease in that it cantouch someone that needs to hear
this word.
Lord, we love you, we praiseyou and we give you the glory
(01:41):
and the praise and Jesus name.
We pray Amen.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Amen, and I want to say amen to these people that
have been listening.
Um, we are up to about 30something downloads, so that is
great, and I don't think it'sbeen even a week yet.
So thank you so much forlistening.
Today, our topic is going to begracefully broken, and what
(02:05):
that means.
So, um, the breakdown is likewhen things seem like they're
falling apart.
You might lose your job or, um,you've lost income somehow, or
maybe you've lost a loved one or, um, a relationship, it depends
(02:27):
, you know.
And when you think that thingsare just kind of like falling
apart, that's the moment whenGod is just trying to, uh, pull
you together.
Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, absolutely Absolutely.
It's like uh, to me it's likegracefully broken.
As you know, god removingpeople, places and things that
no longer serve you or supportthe purpose that he has assigned
for your life.
So it feels at first it's hard,because he's taking away things
that you thought you would have.
(03:01):
You know some, some things, asyou know, like when you're
comfortable.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
You're comfortable when you think you're going to
have them for life, and and thenthere's a uh, a breaking.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I break down my own that basically.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Mm.
Hmm, yeah, where he's.
It's, you know he doesn't wantus to get too comfortable and
complacent and he can't move us.
And it's harder to change usonce we've got in that, um,
their routine of things andaccepting things for what they
are now and um, so I think thatthat's.
You know, like people say,everything just falls apart, you
(03:38):
know, seems like.
You know, it's chaos everywhere.
You know there's alwayssomething else, always something
going on.
You know, one thing afteranother, you know, like your car
might break down or you, youknow this may happen.
Yeah, it helps us to beawakened, absolutely.
It helps us to be thenconscious, because we, you know,
(04:03):
like, why are these thingshappening to me?
You know, and I think it'shappening, of course, because
it's necessary and God is tryingto do something in your life,
and what do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Just though, Absolutely it is.
It is, I believe it's awakening.
He's trying to wake you up towhat he has for you in your life
and the purpose that he createdyou to serve.
And then he has to removepeople, as I said, people,
places or things that no longerserve you or holding you
stagnant to where, as he can'tuse you, because sometimes it
(04:40):
get people in your life andchange you and change the things
in the purpose that you feelthat you're led to do, and then
he has to remove that in orderto get you free and clear to do
that.
And you know, a lot of timespeople think, as you know, it's
a bad thing.
You know what I'm saying.
Like they feel I'm losing this,I'm losing this, I've lost my
job, I've lost my home, I got tostart all over.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
You know what I'm saying.
Our people.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Are just, you know, like you said, losing people,
but it's always a blessing and abreaking.
It's a blessing and a breaking,but we have to take heed that
this is for our good.
Everything is happening for you, not against you.
Because, we take it to you.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
You know we take it personally.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Exactly, and we and our human, we, you know, and
that's why he said lean not onyour own understanding, because
to us is like it's likedevastating or it's tragic to
lose you know, a mate ormarriage or divorce, or you know
your home or even yourtransportation.
Like you said, you get in anaccident, some things happen,
but but sure enough, when Godremoves one thing he always puts
(05:48):
something better.
So he has to break you and healyou and rebuild you and it's
not absolutely like a break,like he's breaking you
physically but, he's healing you.
It's a healing going on inside,from the inside out, and he has
to heal you and rebuild you toserve his purpose, because if we
stayed the same, we wouldcontinue to repeat these lessons
(06:09):
over and over until we get themright.
So he has to break us so thatwe can get it right, so we won't
be stagnant.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Absolutely, he gets.
So it's like God gives us areplay of the consciousness
cycle, like he's starting tohelp play, like you know, like
the things you were doing wrong,like why is all of this that?
Usually we're at the momentwhen we have that, when
everything is falling apart, wefeel like why is this happening
(06:38):
to me?
You know what I mean, and then,he'll replay those things.
And I said I said I meant tosay continuous cycles.
Well, I said conscious cycles.
Okay but the continuous cycle.
So he replaced that back to us.
Like you keep repeating thesame cycle over and, over and
over and over again and you keepbumping your head.
(07:00):
You're still not getting youknow anywhere, because you're
kind of going around a mulberrybush circle, and so you finally
have to then surrender to theprocess and submit and say God,
I see what you're doing, I seewhat I've done, I've made a mess
of it.
You know what I mean.
So now I need you to come inand go ahead, and he's like you
(07:23):
know what.
You want me to take off, youwant me to drive you.
Good.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Jesus, take the wheel , basically.
Once you realize that thatawakening is happening for your
good, you surrender, submit, letgo and let God have his way,
because ultimately, it's foryour good.
So that's as humans, we don'tunderstand that.
Sometimes we're like confused,like wire, and sometimes it
feels like you're goingbackwards instead of for it.
(07:50):
But that's the beauty of itLike a bow and arrow is like God
pulls you back so he can thrustyou forward.
And sometimes when he pulls youback, he takes you 10 or 12
years ahead of what you wouldhave been at if you would have
did it at your pace and keptgoing in that cycle.
And then he said thatcontinuous circle of repeat,
repeat.
Why am I keep doing this?
(08:10):
Or even like dating.
You feel like you're dating thesame person over and over or
like a job.
You keep getting the same typeof job, but you're miserable at
it.
You're not willing to change.
So he has to break you down sothat you can.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You know so it's like I said, it's a go ahead.
No, go ahead, it's like a word.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I was like it's a blessing and a breaking.
You know it's not all bad.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
you know it's not bad at all, it's kind of like a
breakdown not not like a nervousbreakdown, but it's a break
when you sometimes, sometimesyou feel like you about to have
one but it's a breakdown of thethings that God is trying to
show you, that you know, whenyou weren't listening, you saw
(08:53):
red flags.
You saw all these thingshappening.
You know you continuously, likeyou said, date the same people.
You're still hanging around thesame people, you're doing the
same things, and what it's doingis it hindering you from moving
forward into your purpose?
And so that's why, at thatpoint, we need to heal, go
(09:13):
within and reevaluate.
Why am I doing these things?
You know, and it usually comesfrom like for me it was a
venomous issues, neglect issues,not feeling like I'm enough,
not feeling wanted, trying toplease everyone, you know, and
make everybody else happy andcomfortable.
In times I wasn't comfortableor happy, but anything to please
(09:36):
someone else and put a smile ontheir face.
And so I had to reevaluatethose things like why do I do
these things?
Or why do I keep choosing thesepeople, instead of blaming?
You know my partners or my exesor whatever, what it means
chose that person.
You know, and it could sometimesit could be trauma bonding.
(09:57):
You know, it could befamiliarity of.
You know what you've seengrowing up which was not healthy
.
So I think that it's reallyimportant for us to reevaluate
our lives and just understand,in those terrible moments or
those moments that there's abreakdown, when it feels like
(10:17):
everything is falling apart,that in those stressful moments
you know that God is trying toshow you something.
He's trying to transform youand it doesn't feel good when
you're being transformed becausea lot of people don't like
change and we don't want changebecause we just got comfortable
where we at.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Right right.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
And I just got comfortable.
You know, like, like some shoes, you know how you got to break
them in.
I'm comfortable now.
Now you want to?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
break me Right now.
You got to get a new pair.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
And everything is going on right and it's going on
.
You know like.
I'm good, like I got, and I gotthis girlfriend or this wife or
this husband or you know, likewhat's going on, and then it
just falls apart because it hegot wants us to start moving you
know, unless we will staycomfortable.
(11:16):
I know one thing I might dislikea job but I'll go because I
know I got to pay my bills andit pays my bills going anyway.
But when he takes that job fromme, then I don't have a choice
but to start figuring out otherways to make money you know what
I mean and figure out whatother resources can I utilize to
, you know, help me with mybills or whatever.
(11:40):
So sometimes it's like evenbeing desperate you know it's a
desperate cry like wait a minute, I can't pay my bills.
Like I'm living from paycheckto paycheck already.
And then once you, once he doesthat in your life, then you are
forced, you know, to moveAbsolutely.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Absolutely, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
You're forced to go out and get another job or
whatever Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, just so you don't stay stagnant.
And, like you said, us ashumans, we get comfortable and
we'll just stay and we'll justdeal with whatever.
But he has to shake it up.
Shake it, sort of speak.
Shake things up so that we willrealize that we are here for a
reason and it's not our reason,it's his reason and he's using
us to be a blessing as someoneelse, and the people that we're
(12:26):
assigned to are waiting on us toget it together and figure it
out.
So he has to, you know, do thatbroken, do that breaking, or do
that change or do that change?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
We got a phone call and a little business.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, my bad, I had turned to silence it, but
clearly I don't know how it camethrough.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I don't know, okay, no, but I just, yeah, I feel
like it's necessary and it's.
It's crazy that it has to cometo that point, though, for us to
finally change our ways, thatwe end up losing everything or
losing someone, or just losing,you know, and this is the thing.
(13:11):
These are just things.
We're not here for these things, we're not here for that bag,
we're not here to, you know, forthings you know houses, you
know exactly.
We're here to love, love oneanother, help people through
their journey.
You know, be respectful, haveintegrity, morals, values,
(13:37):
definitely respect.
Respect them on another ashuman beings.
Forget all the racism and stuff.
If we would act right as humanbeings, we wouldn't even have to
worry about that.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Absolutely, I totally , I totally agree with you and
just you know, like you said,the grace of it is the breaking.
It's his grace because he could, you know, do another way and,
like, punish us, but hegracefully breaks us so we can
end these, like you said, cyclesand just be that, that light
that he needs us to be, theshine through this world,
(14:11):
because everyone needs somebody.
So he's doing it for for ourgreater good, it's all for our
good.
But all the time, you know, andhe's good.
So anything that he's doing,he's doing it for our good and,
like you said, in that humanmind we think we take it
personal and we like man, what'sgoing on, that I or we'll start
blaming ourselves that I dothis wrong, that I do that I had
(14:34):
done this.
we'll start second guessingourselves but, like going
through the awakening, werealize once you, like you said,
we realize that it's going forour good and we just let go and
let him and just let him use us.
Then we're never the same againand we're grateful for that
breakthrough, because it'sreally a breakthrough you know,
yeah, the breakdown becomes thebreakthrough.
(14:56):
Absolutely, absolutely, and it'sa blessing.
And then if we just, you know,a heed to it and, like you said,
trust the process, you knowthere's a lot of people and you
got to and, like you said, withchange, a lot of people don't
like change, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
so life is constantly changing, as constantly and you
and your pose to change,because your pose will evolve
and grow and we always want tobe growing, not stay stagnant
and just like, even when we'redriving to, not to catch you off
with, like when we're drivingand say we've been to work this
particular way for the last Idon't know how many months or
(15:32):
years and then all of a sudden,there's a detour and we're like
I don't want to get on thehighway to get to work you know
what I mean.
Or I don't want to have to goall the way around to get where
I need to be.
Oh my God, it's going to makeme late, you know.
So we don't.
We don't want to take thedetour.
You know we don't want tochange.
We want to.
God might be showing yousomething.
(15:53):
He might be showing you somebeautiful trees over there, a
beautiful home, I don't know.
Squirrels, the plane runningbehind each other, chasing I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Absolutely yeah, redirection is protection and
sometimes we don't like it wedon't like it.
You know, like you said, itgoes back to change.
We don't like change, andsometimes he's protecting us
from things that we can't seewith the human eye, so we got to
just take heed and just let go,let him, let him flow, submit,
(16:24):
submit.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
It's the hardest thing, because you will fight
against that thing, you willfight against that change.
You will, you know, like, no,I'm not doing it this way.
I'm gonna, and you're gonna bestubborn and you're gonna keep
your ego, and ego got to go Godis humbling you.
So the ego has to go.
You can't you know, fightagainst it because it's gonna
take you that much longer to getyour breakthrough.
(16:47):
So you might as well go aheadand submit.
I know one time I was goingthrough it and I just threw up
my hands and I just startedcrying Lord, I submit, I just
submit, I submit to the process,I give in, like whatever you
want to do with me move me theway you want to move me.
You know, take me wherever youneed me to go.
(17:08):
You drive, like I said earlier,I, you know, I'm giving it all
to you because I can't donothing else with it.
I'm gonna give it all to youand when I tell you, you give it
all to him and you, you sayokay, you work, you do, I'll
follow, you leave.
I don't know how we're gonna dothis, but I'm gonna follow you
(17:28):
and as soon as we do give in andsubmit, I'm telling you he will
bless you like never before youwill get to that breakthrough,
because that means that you'vematured, you know you're at the,
at where he needs you to bementally.
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah, absolutely, mentally, emotionally,
spiritually.
It's just like a healing fromthe inside out.
It's a beautiful thing, likeyou said, if you just let go and
receive it instead of trying tofight it, because you, you got
to get through this in order todo his purpose and to live your
life purpose.
So you can't know a way aroundit, you can't go around it, you
(18:07):
just got it to get and if thatbrings you to it, he'll bring
you through it.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
So absolutely, and that's why we say gracefully
broken, because he's not tryingto break us to be mean.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
He's not trying to break us right harsh, he's not
trying to hurt us.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
But it's these things that we've picked up along the
way in the world, from ourexperiences and disappointments
or hurts and all of those things.
He needs to break those thingsup off of us, the flesh of all
for us, so that we can actuallywalk within spirit, you know, as
you know, as he wanted us to,all along, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
It's a beautiful, beautiful.
Bless and let go.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
I was gonna say it's hard, though it's really hard.
I don't know people out here tobe listening and thinking that
it's not, that it's easy.
It's really hard to takeaccountability for your stuff
and to actually see your ways.
You know if you're snappy, ifyou're this or you're loud and
you get upset.
You know you start screaming oryou know the way you talk to
(19:15):
somebody.
You know, but it all comes from.
You know childhood wounds orwounds that we've had, guilt
wounds or Traumas Trump yes allof that you know, and it starts
changing us and transforming usinto Everybody else you know.
You see people that are hurtingpeople and being mean and
(19:38):
hateful, but then you turnaround and do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, cuz hurt people , hurt people.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Exactly so you have to be really careful, because
also, karma is something else,honey, that you'll go roll right
back around.
Yes, it will.
So if you put good out into theworld, good gonna come back.
If you put bad out into theworld, bad it's gonna come back.
(20:04):
So I had to tell somebody thatnot too long ago it was Asking
me out and they were married.
And I said oh no, no, no, Ialready cleaned my coma, oh, not
married.
I think they were gettingmarried or something, I don't
know.
But I said I already clean mycalm, I ain't trying to mess
with nobody's.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Me, oh, just a lunch day.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
No, I'm good like right now.
Exactly.
I'm serious right now about mylife.
I want to get closer to God.
You better pull me all the way,but see, that's how the enemy
of come around and bring peopleall of a sudden, x's of you know
, old people that used to dealwith, or old friends, and try to
, you know, step in and comeback when you and I already cut
(20:48):
off people because you have todo what's best you know for you
You're.
What did you say earlier abouthow he has to disconnect us from
people?
That are.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
There's no longer serve.
That's no longer serving us.
For his purpose or hisassignment for us and some
people got to go and, and and,just liking anything in life.
It's seasons, like God isseasons for everybody.
And some right right, and it'sseasonal people and unfortunate.
And if you're not growing andyou have this same, you know,
(21:19):
group of people, then you're notgrowing and you're not evolving
.
And some people just like atree.
Some people are roots they'remeant to stay forever and some
people are leaves they're meantto leave.
They're only what you wereseason and they can't flow and
go with you because they're notmeant to go on this next level
that guy's taking you, so youyes, absolutely Absolutely, and
(21:40):
it doesn't feel good when theserelationships end because you
know for me.
I know it's hard.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah, for me.
I love people and I've, youknow, always created, I thought,
good relationships around me,good friends, and you know
people that were like-minded andI don't know just friends.
But then you grow up, I guess,and you realize after situations
that you're always showing upfor them and showing up for
(22:07):
everybody else, but nobody showsup for you, and that doesn't
feel good you know, absolutelyBecause you start feeling alone.
Like I'm alone for real, likeyou know.
I know one thing I might bealone, but I ain't lonely
because I always got God with me.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Amen, amen to that, amen, amen.
You're never alone.
He always got you.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yes, but it doesn't feel good when you know people,
especially you could be friendsfor like 20 years, 30 years, and
sometimes when you you know yougotta let them go.
You gotta let them go for yourown peace of mind and for your
own healing and you gotta startsetting boundaries and that's
something I didn't know how todo at first, because I'm Right
right that self, that self-careis real Self-love loving
(22:50):
yourself.
Yes yes.
Taking time with just you andlearning you and allowing God to
transform you into who you needto be so you can get the glory
out of it.
And he wants us to touch peoplein such a way that it will
(23:10):
change their lives for thebetter.
So I'm just praying for healthyrelationships and just for us to
come together and understandthat we're all different.
We're all on a journey, but myjourney or my path may not look
like yours, but that's okay.
You know to just stay focusedon your own stuff, because if
(23:34):
you stay focused on your ownstuff and mind your business and
stop minding everybody else'sbusiness, you can actually do
the healing work.
You can actually listen andhear from God and you know when
he orders your steps.
You know so.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Oh yeah, absolutely, Absolutely.
You can you get grow thatgrowing and healing is a
beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
And in that piece.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
As you get older you realize peace is priceless.
It's just the most beautifulgift you can have.
Then you know be peaceful andcontent in all circumstances and
situations.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
And just trust that I'm sorry and trust what.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And just trust that God got you, no matter what it
looks like you know or feelslike you know, but go ahead.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I was gonna say.
You know, I've had not had andI've had not had, but as far as
financially.
But I love my peace of mind,like I would walk away from
everything or anything.
I don't care if you paying foreverything and you know, but if
you are toxic or if you, if I'mnot happy, I'm just gonna go and
(24:42):
get peace of mind and that'smore valuable to me than
anything else in the world.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Absolutely, and that's part of the healing
process that he's putting youthrough that healing, Because
once you start healing your,your tasting, people will change
and you won't settle.
You won't settle anymorebecause you'll know your worth
and who you are through and withGod, you deserve more, you know
.
So you won't compromise, likeyou said, on your peace, on
(25:11):
things that you really, you know, want for yourself and feel
that you are worthy of.
You won't settle on thatdepartment.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I kind of liked that.
I was thinking when you saidthat about taste.
I was thinking about your tastebuds, how they change over
years.
You know, and as you get older,some things that you didn't
like before you end up liking.
Now you know that you eat, youknow.
So it's like a the same thing.
(25:39):
I taste buds change and thenalso we.
When we change, we're like Idon't want to answer my phone
anymore for you because you'retoo negative, like I can't do it
, you'll be on a 10, somebodybring you down to a four or five
because they didn't told youall their business early in the
morning.
you didn't pray to the meditatedand you ready for the day and
(26:01):
you get that phone confidence orin person, you be like, oh Lord
, something tells you, don'tanswer it, just go ahead with
your day.
You go ahead and you call themback later.
Nope, go ahead and answer itBefore you know it want one.
They got you on like two and soall your energy, and you wonder
why you feel drained when youget off the phone.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
So I just that's the energy, that negative energy is
only transferred, so it'stransferred from one to the next
is never destroyed, is justtransferred.
And then you, you like, yousaid you having a great day and
then want one, and then justbeing of people, like I believe
(26:42):
we are empaths.
You pick up on people, so youtake on their feelings and their
pain up their emotions.
And then you're drained out andyou ain't even got your day
started because you alreadydrained from just that.
So then you got to recoup andread, but go back into your
healing and you're just whoowhoo sigh.
Namaste.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
You gotta redo it.
I know, but okay, so everyonethat is gracefully broken.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Hello everyone.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
So how's it going today?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
It's blessed, blessed day.
So far, so good.
How about yourself?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I'm having a lovely day.
I listened to a little SarahJigs Roberts this morning.
I'm an Evolve and I was about15 minutes on the air and she
said some.
It was a powerful message.
I only got there 15 minutes butI felt like just praising him
right there this morning.
You know just.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
God is good.
Got a word in 15.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
She's definitely anointed for it.
She's awesome.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Definitely, definitely.
Yeah, I love her.
She's a lot like me.
You know she's a cancer like metoo A little crappy Patty
sometimes.
Yeah, I'm a crappy Patty.
It's okay, I admit it, you knowthat's okay.
But um, so today's topic, we'regoing to go jump right in, Okay
(01:14):
?
So, oh no, we have to say ourprayer.
We're going to do our prayer wegot to pray first yeah, I got
so excited, I was excited.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
No, no, but that's a good thing.
So here we go, Heavenly Father,we come to you through your son
, just as we are, and we thankyou for this opportunity to this
platform, to have theopportunity to talk about you,
to represent you, and we praythat you increase in us and that
we decrease in that it cantouch someone that needs to hear
this word.
Lord, we love you, we praiseyou and we give you the glory
(01:41):
and the praise and Jesus name.
We pray Amen.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Amen, and I want to say amen to these people that
have been listening.
Um, we are up to about 30something downloads, so that is
great, and I don't think it'sbeen even a week yet.
So thank you so much forlistening.
Today, our topic is going to begracefully broken, and what
(02:05):
that means.
So, um, the breakdown is likewhen things seem like they're
falling apart.
You might lose your job or, um,you've lost income somehow, or
maybe you've lost a loved one or, um, a relationship, it depends
(02:27):
, you know.
And when you think that thingsare just kind of like falling
apart, that's the moment whenGod is just trying to, uh, pull
you together.
Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, absolutely Absolutely.
It's like uh, to me it's likegracefully broken.
As you know, god removingpeople, places and things that
no longer serve you or supportthe purpose that he has assigned
for your life.
So it feels at first it's hard,because he's taking away things
that you thought you would have.
(03:01):
You know some, some things, asyou know, like when you're
comfortable.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
You're comfortable when you think you're going to
have them for life, and and thenthere's a uh, a breaking.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I break down my own that basically.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Mm.
Hmm, yeah, where he's.
It's, you know he doesn't wantus to get too comfortable and
complacent and he can't move us.
And it's harder to change usonce we've got in that, um,
their routine of things andaccepting things for what they
are now and um, so I think thatthat's.
You know, like people say,everything just falls apart, you
(03:38):
know, seems like.
You know, it's chaos everywhere.
You know there's alwayssomething else, always something
going on.
You know, one thing afteranother, you know, like your car
might break down or you, youknow this may happen.
Yeah, it helps us to beawakened, absolutely.
It helps us to be thenconscious, because we, you know,
(04:03):
like, why are these thingshappening to me?
You know, and I think it'shappening, of course, because
it's necessary and God is tryingto do something in your life,
and what do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Just though, Absolutely it is.
It is, I believe it's awakening.
He's trying to wake you up towhat he has for you in your life
and the purpose that he createdyou to serve.
And then he has to removepeople, as I said, people,
places or things that no longerserve you or holding you
stagnant to where, as he can'tuse you, because sometimes it
(04:40):
get people in your life andchange you and change the things
in the purpose that you feelthat you're led to do, and then
he has to remove that in orderto get you free and clear to do
that.
And you know, a lot of timespeople think, as you know, it's
a bad thing.
You know what I'm saying.
Like they feel I'm losing this,I'm losing this, I've lost my
job, I've lost my home, I got tostart all over.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
You know what I'm saying.
Our people.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Are just, you know, like you said, losing people,
but it's always a blessing and abreaking.
It's a blessing and a breaking,but we have to take heed that
this is for our good.
Everything is happening for you, not against you.
Because, we take it to you.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
You know we take it personally.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Exactly, and we and our human, we, you know, and
that's why he said lean not onyour own understanding, because
to us is like it's likedevastating or it's tragic to
lose you know, a mate ormarriage or divorce, or you know
your home or even yourtransportation.
Like you said, you get in anaccident, some things happen,
but but sure enough, when Godremoves one thing he always puts
(05:48):
something better.
So he has to break you and healyou and rebuild you and it's
not absolutely like a break,like he's breaking you
physically but, he's healing you.
It's a healing going on inside,from the inside out, and he has
to heal you and rebuild you toserve his purpose, because if we
stayed the same, we wouldcontinue to repeat these lessons
(06:09):
over and over until we get themright.
So he has to break us so thatwe can get it right, so we won't
be stagnant.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Absolutely, he gets.
So it's like God gives us areplay of the consciousness
cycle, like he's starting tohelp play, like you know, like
the things you were doing wrong,like why is all of this that?
Usually we're at the momentwhen we have that, when
everything is falling apart, wefeel like why is this happening
(06:38):
to me?
You know what I mean, and then,he'll replay those things.
And I said I said I meant tosay continuous cycles.
Well, I said conscious cycles.
Okay but the continuous cycle.
So he replaced that back to us.
Like you keep repeating thesame cycle over and, over and
over and over again and you keepbumping your head.
(07:00):
You're still not getting youknow anywhere, because you're
kind of going around a mulberrybush circle, and so you finally
have to then surrender to theprocess and submit and say God,
I see what you're doing, I seewhat I've done, I've made a mess
of it.
You know what I mean.
So now I need you to come inand go ahead, and he's like you
(07:23):
know what.
You want me to take off, youwant me to drive you.
Good.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Jesus, take the wheel , basically.
Once you realize that thatawakening is happening for your
good, you surrender, submit, letgo and let God have his way,
because ultimately, it's foryour good.
So that's as humans, we don'tunderstand that.
Sometimes we're like confused,like wire, and sometimes it
feels like you're goingbackwards instead of for it.
(07:50):
But that's the beauty of itLike a bow and arrow is like God
pulls you back so he can thrustyou forward.
And sometimes when he pulls youback, he takes you 10 or 12
years ahead of what you wouldhave been at if you would have
did it at your pace and keptgoing in that cycle.
And then he said thatcontinuous circle of repeat,
repeat.
Why am I keep doing this?
(08:10):
Or even like dating.
You feel like you're dating thesame person over and over or
like a job.
You keep getting the same typeof job, but you're miserable at
it.
You're not willing to change.
So he has to break you down sothat you can.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You know so it's like I said, it's a go ahead.
No, go ahead, it's like a word.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I was like it's a blessing and a breaking.
You know it's not all bad.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
you know it's not bad at all, it's kind of like a
breakdown not not like a nervousbreakdown, but it's a break
when you sometimes, sometimesyou feel like you about to have
one but it's a breakdown of thethings that God is trying to
show you, that you know, whenyou weren't listening, you saw
(08:53):
red flags.
You saw all these thingshappening.
You know you continuously, likeyou said, date the same people.
You're still hanging around thesame people, you're doing the
same things, and what it's doingis it hindering you from moving
forward into your purpose?
And so that's why, at thatpoint, we need to heal, go
(09:13):
within and reevaluate.
Why am I doing these things?
You know, and it usually comesfrom like for me it was a
venomous issues, neglect issues,not feeling like I'm enough,
not feeling wanted, trying toplease everyone, you know, and
make everybody else happy andcomfortable.
In times I wasn't comfortableor happy, but anything to please
(09:36):
someone else and put a smile ontheir face.
And so I had to reevaluatethose things like why do I do
these things?
Or why do I keep choosing thesepeople, instead of blaming?
You know my partners or my exesor whatever, what it means
chose that person.
You know, and it could sometimesit could be trauma bonding.
(09:57):
You know, it could befamiliarity of.
You know what you've seengrowing up which was not healthy
.
So I think that it's reallyimportant for us to reevaluate
our lives and just understand,in those terrible moments or
those moments that there's abreakdown, when it feels like
(10:17):
everything is falling apart,that in those stressful moments
you know that God is trying toshow you something.
He's trying to transform youand it doesn't feel good when
you're being transformed becausea lot of people don't like
change and we don't want changebecause we just got comfortable
where we at.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Right right.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
And I just got comfortable.
You know, like, like some shoes, you know how you got to break
them in.
I'm comfortable now.
Now you want to?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
break me Right now.
You got to get a new pair.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
And everything is going on right and it's going on
.
You know like.
I'm good, like I got, and I gotthis girlfriend or this wife or
this husband or you know, likewhat's going on, and then it
just falls apart because it hegot wants us to start moving you
know, unless we will staycomfortable.
(11:16):
I know one thing I might dislikea job but I'll go because I
know I got to pay my bills andit pays my bills going anyway.
But when he takes that job fromme, then I don't have a choice
but to start figuring out otherways to make money you know what
I mean and figure out whatother resources can I utilize to
, you know, help me with mybills or whatever.
(11:40):
So sometimes it's like evenbeing desperate you know it's a
desperate cry like wait a minute, I can't pay my bills.
Like I'm living from paycheckto paycheck already.
And then once you, once he doesthat in your life, then you are
forced, you know, to moveAbsolutely.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Absolutely, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
You're forced to go out and get another job or
whatever Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, just so you don't stay stagnant.
And, like you said, us ashumans, we get comfortable and
we'll just stay and we'll justdeal with whatever.
But he has to shake it up.
Shake it, sort of speak.
Shake things up so that we willrealize that we are here for a
reason and it's not our reason,it's his reason and he's using
us to be a blessing as someoneelse, and the people that we're
(12:26):
assigned to are waiting on us toget it together and figure it
out.
So he has to, you know, do thatbroken, do that breaking, or do
that change or do that change?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
We got a phone call and a little business.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, my bad, I had turned to silence it, but
clearly I don't know how it camethrough.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I don't know, okay, no, but I just, yeah, I feel
like it's necessary and it's.
It's crazy that it has to cometo that point, though, for us to
finally change our ways, thatwe end up losing everything or
losing someone, or just losing,you know, and this is the thing.
(13:11):
These are just things.
We're not here for these things, we're not here for that bag,
we're not here to, you know, forthings you know houses, you
know exactly.
We're here to love, love oneanother, help people through
their journey.
You know, be respectful, haveintegrity, morals, values,
(13:37):
definitely respect.
Respect them on another ashuman beings.
Forget all the racism and stuff.
If we would act right as humanbeings, we wouldn't even have to
worry about that.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Absolutely, I totally , I totally agree with you and
just you know, like you said,the grace of it is the breaking.
It's his grace because he could, you know, do another way and,
like, punish us, but hegracefully breaks us so we can
end these, like you said, cyclesand just be that, that light
that he needs us to be, theshine through this world,
(14:11):
because everyone needs somebody.
So he's doing it for for ourgreater good, it's all for our
good.
But all the time, you know, andhe's good.
So anything that he's doing,he's doing it for our good and,
like you said, in that humanmind we think we take it
personal and we like man, what'sgoing on, that I or we'll start
blaming ourselves that I dothis wrong, that I do that I had
(14:34):
done this.
we'll start second guessingourselves but, like going
through the awakening, werealize once you, like you said,
we realize that it's going forour good and we just let go and
let him and just let him use us.
Then we're never the same againand we're grateful for that
breakthrough, because it'sreally a breakthrough you know,
yeah, the breakdown becomes thebreakthrough.
(14:56):
Absolutely, absolutely, and it'sa blessing.
And then if we just, you know,a heed to it and, like you said,
trust the process, you knowthere's a lot of people and you
got to and, like you said, withchange, a lot of people don't
like change, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
so life is constantly changing, as constantly and you
and your pose to change,because your pose will evolve
and grow and we always want tobe growing, not stay stagnant
and just like, even when we'redriving to, not to catch you off
with, like when we're drivingand say we've been to work this
particular way for the last Idon't know how many months or
(15:32):
years and then all of a sudden,there's a detour and we're like
I don't want to get on thehighway to get to work you know
what I mean.
Or I don't want to have to goall the way around to get where
I need to be.
Oh my God, it's going to makeme late, you know.
So we don't.
We don't want to take thedetour.
You know we don't want tochange.
We want to.
God might be showing yousomething.
(15:53):
He might be showing you somebeautiful trees over there, a
beautiful home, I don't know.
Squirrels, the plane runningbehind each other, chasing I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Absolutely yeah, redirection is protection and
sometimes we don't like it wedon't like it.
You know, like you said, itgoes back to change.
We don't like change, andsometimes he's protecting us
from things that we can't seewith the human eye, so we got to
just take heed and just let go,let him, let him flow, submit,
(16:24):
submit.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
It's the hardest thing, because you will fight
against that thing, you willfight against that change.
You will, you know, like, no,I'm not doing it this way.
I'm gonna, and you're gonna bestubborn and you're gonna keep
your ego, and ego got to go Godis humbling you.
So the ego has to go.
You can't you know, fightagainst it because it's gonna
take you that much longer to getyour breakthrough.
(16:47):
So you might as well go aheadand submit.
I know one time I was goingthrough it and I just threw up
my hands and I just startedcrying Lord, I submit, I just
submit, I submit to the process,I give in, like whatever you
want to do with me move me theway you want to move me.
You know, take me wherever youneed me to go.
(17:08):
You drive, like I said earlier,I, you know, I'm giving it all
to you because I can't donothing else with it.
I'm gonna give it all to youand when I tell you, you give it
all to him and you, you sayokay, you work, you do, I'll
follow, you leave.
I don't know how we're gonna dothis, but I'm gonna follow you
(17:28):
and as soon as we do give in andsubmit, I'm telling you he will
bless you like never before youwill get to that breakthrough,
because that means that you'vematured, you know you're at the,
at where he needs you to bementally.
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah, absolutely, mentally, emotionally,
spiritually.
It's just like a healing fromthe inside out.
It's a beautiful thing, likeyou said, if you just let go and
receive it instead of trying tofight it, because you, you got
to get through this in order todo his purpose and to live your
life purpose.
So you can't know a way aroundit, you can't go around it, you
(18:07):
just got it to get and if thatbrings you to it, he'll bring
you through it.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
So absolutely, and that's why we say gracefully
broken, because he's not tryingto break us to be mean.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
He's not trying to break us right harsh, he's not
trying to hurt us.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
But it's these things that we've picked up along the
way in the world, from ourexperiences and disappointments
or hurts and all of those things.
He needs to break those thingsup off of us, the flesh of all
for us, so that we can actuallywalk within spirit, you know, as
you know, as he wanted us to,all along, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
It's a beautiful, beautiful.
Bless and let go.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
I was gonna say it's hard, though it's really hard.
I don't know people out here tobe listening and thinking that
it's not, that it's easy.
It's really hard to takeaccountability for your stuff
and to actually see your ways.
You know if you're snappy, ifyou're this or you're loud and
you get upset.
You know you start screaming oryou know the way you talk to
(19:15):
somebody.
You know, but it all comes from.
You know childhood wounds orwounds that we've had, guilt
wounds or Traumas Trump yes allof that you know, and it starts
changing us and transforming usinto Everybody else you know.
You see people that are hurtingpeople and being mean and
(19:38):
hateful, but then you turnaround and do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, cuz hurt people , hurt people.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Exactly so you have to be really careful, because
also, karma is something else,honey, that you'll go roll right
back around.
Yes, it will.
So if you put good out into theworld, good gonna come back.
If you put bad out into theworld, bad it's gonna come back.
(20:04):
So I had to tell somebody thatnot too long ago it was Asking
me out and they were married.
And I said oh no, no, no, Ialready cleaned my coma, oh, not
married.
I think they were gettingmarried or something, I don't
know.
But I said I already clean mycalm, I ain't trying to mess
with nobody's.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Me, oh, just a lunch day.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
No, I'm good like right now.
Exactly.
I'm serious right now about mylife.
I want to get closer to God.
You better pull me all the way,but see, that's how the enemy
of come around and bring peopleall of a sudden, x's of you know
, old people that used to dealwith, or old friends, and try to
, you know, step in and comeback when you and I already cut
(20:48):
off people because you have todo what's best you know for you
You're.
What did you say earlier abouthow he has to disconnect us from
people?
That are.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
There's no longer serve.
That's no longer serving us.
For his purpose or hisassignment for us and some
people got to go and, and and,just liking anything in life.
It's seasons, like God isseasons for everybody.
And some right right, and it'sseasonal people and unfortunate.
And if you're not growing andyou have this same, you know,
(21:19):
group of people, then you're notgrowing and you're not evolving
.
And some people just like atree.
Some people are roots they'remeant to stay forever and some
people are leaves they're meantto leave.
They're only what you wereseason and they can't flow and
go with you because they're notmeant to go on this next level
that guy's taking you, so youyes, absolutely Absolutely, and
(21:40):
it doesn't feel good when theserelationships end because you
know for me.
I know it's hard.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah, for me.
I love people and I've, youknow, always created, I thought,
good relationships around me,good friends, and you know
people that were like-minded andI don't know just friends.
But then you grow up, I guess,and you realize after situations
that you're always showing upfor them and showing up for
(22:07):
everybody else, but nobody showsup for you, and that doesn't
feel good you know, absolutelyBecause you start feeling alone.
Like I'm alone for real, likeyou know.
I know one thing I might bealone, but I ain't lonely
because I always got God with me.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Amen, amen to that, amen, amen.
You're never alone.
He always got you.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yes, but it doesn't feel good when you know people,
especially you could be friendsfor like 20 years, 30 years, and
sometimes when you you know yougotta let them go.
You gotta let them go for yourown peace of mind and for your
own healing and you gotta startsetting boundaries and that's
something I didn't know how todo at first, because I'm Right
right that self, that self-careis real Self-love loving
(22:50):
yourself.
Yes yes.
Taking time with just you andlearning you and allowing God to
transform you into who you needto be so you can get the glory
out of it.
And he wants us to touch peoplein such a way that it will
(23:10):
change their lives for thebetter.
So I'm just praying for healthyrelationships and just for us to
come together and understandthat we're all different.
We're all on a journey, but myjourney or my path may not look
like yours, but that's okay.
You know to just stay focusedon your own stuff, because if
(23:34):
you stay focused on your ownstuff and mind your business and
stop minding everybody else'sbusiness, you can actually do
the healing work.
You can actually listen andhear from God and you know when
he orders your steps.
You know so.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Oh yeah, absolutely, Absolutely.
You can you get grow thatgrowing and healing is a
beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
And in that piece.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
As you get older you realize peace is priceless.
It's just the most beautifulgift you can have.
Then you know be peaceful andcontent in all circumstances and
situations.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
And just trust that I'm sorry and trust what.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And just trust that God got you, no matter what it
looks like you know or feelslike you know, but go ahead.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I was gonna say.
You know, I've had not had andI've had not had, but as far as
financially.
But I love my peace of mind,like I would walk away from
everything or anything.
I don't care if you paying foreverything and you know, but if
you are toxic or if you, if I'mnot happy, I'm just gonna go and
(24:42):
get peace of mind and that'smore valuable to me than
anything else in the world.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Absolutely, and that's part of the healing
process that he's putting youthrough that healing, Because
once you start healing your,your tasting, people will change
and you won't settle.
You won't settle anymorebecause you'll know your worth
and who you are through and withGod, you deserve more, you know
.
So you won't compromise, likeyou said, on your peace, on
(25:11):
things that you really, you know, want for yourself and feel
that you are worthy of.
You won't settle on thatdepartment.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I kind of liked that.
I was thinking when you saidthat about taste.
I was thinking about your tastebuds, how they change over
years.
You know, and as you get older,some things that you didn't
like before you end up liking.
Now you know that you eat, youknow.
So it's like a the same thing.
(25:39):
I taste buds change and thenalso we.
When we change, we're like Idon't want to answer my phone
anymore for you because you'retoo negative, like I can't do it
, you'll be on a 10, somebodybring you down to a four or five
because they didn't told youall their business early in the
morning.
you didn't pray to the meditatedand you ready for the day and
(26:01):
you get that phone confidence orin person, you be like, oh Lord
, something tells you, don'tanswer it, just go ahead with
your day.
You go ahead and you call themback later.
Nope, go ahead and answer itBefore you know it want one.
They got you on like two and soall your energy, and you wonder
why you feel drained when youget off the phone.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
So I just that's the energy, that negative energy is
only transferred, so it'stransferred from one to the next
is never destroyed, is justtransferred.
And then you, you like, yousaid you having a great day and
then want one, and then justbeing of people, like I believe
(26:42):
we are empaths.
You pick up on people, so youtake on their feelings and their
pain up their emotions.
And then you're drained out andyou ain't even got your day
started because you alreadydrained from just that.
So then you got to recoup andread, but go back into your
healing and you're just whoowhoo sigh.
Namaste.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
You gotta redo it.
I know, but okay, so everyonethat is gracefully broken.

God is working in you and hewants to take you to the next
level.
Anything you want to say,Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Just like you said, just submitting surrender, let
go and let God, and just justeven you know, giving other
people grace, give yourselfgrace, because we, we fall short
every day and constantly, andwith this graceful, with being
gracefully broken, it's notgoing to happen overnight, and
