Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, hey, hey, it's your girl, autumn CEO and owner
of Liddy, known as Lord.
I thank you.
Hey, thank you for tuning in.
I pray the words that come outof my mouth be a blessing to you
and me on this morning.
At 3 am on Friday, hey, y'ally'all know why I'm here.
(00:30):
I woke up and I have somethingto say and I got to still get up
and go to work.
I had to do all of that, butwhen I'm lead to get up and talk
, I'm lead to get up and talk.
So here we go.
I just want to jump into James1, 2 and 4.
My brethren counted all joywhen you fall into various
(00:54):
trials, knowing that the testingof your faith produces patience
.
But let patience have itsperfect work, that you may be
perfect and complete, all whilelacking nothing.
(01:15):
I love that last little spotlacking nothing.
Lord, I thank you.
How do we even get to that pointthat we have the ability to
(01:40):
change our mindset to work inour favor?
Because I clearly understand alot of things that I've been
through over the course of mylife were self-inflicted.
It was self-inflicted, itreally was, because I allowed
(02:04):
certain things, I did certainthings, I made certain decisions
and sometimes I didn't thinkabout what the repercussions may
have been.
I might have just been in thatbold mental state where it was
just like, okay, whatever, letme try to see if it works.
I'm not there anymore, right?
(02:27):
I'm not.
I am striving every day tochange my perspective of life.
Overall, I am determined to bebetter.
I am determined to love myselfbeyond all limits.
I am determined to give thingsmy all and not give a little bit
(02:54):
here, let me just share alittle bit there.
I am determined to giveanything that's in my life my
all, because my all is going tobe everything that I have in
that moment.
All doesn't mean that I canpick up my condo and say, here
(03:17):
you go.
That's not what it means.
It doesn't mean that I can pickup all my clothes and say, here
you go.
What it means is I'm going togive you what my heart can in
that moment, and when there'snothing there, I'm going to give
you what I don't have.
(03:42):
I no longer live off of beingexhausted by giving someone
things that I don't even give tomyself.
First.
I realized that I have lackedsometimes because I've exhausted
(04:03):
my means and gave it tosomebody else and forgot about
the important person in thisthat plays a part in this, which
is me.
You know, I realized that asI'm getting later into my 40s.
I am important to myself.
(04:25):
I'm Important to myself.
I don't mind being alone, Idon't mind sitting at home, I
don't mind reading a book, Idon't mind looking outside on my
deck, I don't mind water in myplants, I don't mind watching
(04:45):
the show here and there, I don'tmind Just sitting and being
still in Peace.
I Don't mind those thingsanymore.
I absolutely love them.
I have given so much of myenergy, my time, my tears, my
(05:09):
money, my patience, my thoughts,my encouragement, my push, my,
my drive, my faith.
I have believed in others morethan they believed in themselves
, and I expected them To beexactly who I wanted them to be,
(05:30):
because I saw past the bullshitUntil I realized I could never
want something more for someoneelse than they want for
themselves.
The key to that was I had towant it for me first, and now I
(05:54):
understand how it feels to setexpectations.
You know, sometimes they sayLord your expectations.
I just treat you how you treatme.
I gotta lower my expectationsbecause I still want the best,
(06:21):
y'all.
I still want the best.
You know, it was mentioned to meto look at.
I actually found it on YouTubeAbout the ego versus the crow
(06:50):
and that thing has been eatingat me and eating at me, and
eating at me.
I Watched it because at first Iwas like what is this?
Why am I about to watch this?
I have no interest and it put.
I'm glad I watched it becauseit's helping me through this
(07:15):
next journey of my life.
So I just give you the basic ofit.
It's just a basis.
So there's this crawl that isattacking the eagle, thinking as
he is attacking the eagle.
Now in this video, this crow isis a nice size where I wouldn't
walk up on it.
But let's think about thepeople that has tried us.
(07:37):
Let's think about the peoplethat don't care what they do.
They just have a mission.
They're on a mission, right,and that's how their croat was.
So this crow is On the eaglesback and just biting and
nitpicking and nagging and youcould tell trying to irritate,
(08:00):
trying to take them down, tryingto hurt.
But this ego is smooth, juststarts to flap his wings.
And as he's flapping his wings,crow is still on his back,
still attacking, still going outof Still trying to get them
(08:24):
down, and I feel like.
I feel like the crows sometimesare not just people.
It could be bills, it could bepain from relationships, it
could be our health, it could beour mental state.
Where are we?
In that moment, I starteddigging deeper into crows.
(08:46):
Right, I started, you know me,leaving it up to me in my mind.
I started like thinking, theattacks of jealous people, the
negativity, the things thatpeople can say to try to hurt
you, because, remember, hurtpeople, hurt people.
At least they tried to.
(09:07):
Anyway, y'all imagine this egostill going right, but the moral
of this is that the ego wasstill not bothered and I'm
sitting here watching it likethat hurt.
No, what the ego kept doing wasgoing higher.
(09:29):
Kept flapping them wings andgoing higher, because what that
crow didn't know is the higherthe altitude the crow couldn't
live in it.
It fell off.
(09:53):
Lord, I thank you, that's allright.
Did y'all get the message, ornot?
The more that we put our faithin trusting God and keep going
at that thing being consistent,being consistent.
(10:14):
Lord, I thank you.
I'm going to trust you.
Anyway, lord, I'm going tocount it all Joy.
I'm not going to give up.
I am going to produceperseverance.
I'm going to stay right whereyou need me to stay.
(10:35):
My faith is going to work in myfavor.
I'm not going to lack anything.
I have to do this daily.
Sometimes by the minute I haveto learn that every fight is not
(11:03):
a battle that I've got to getin the right for.
So I thank you and you know whoyou are for even giving me
something else to look at myselfas.
Have I ever thought that Iwould look at myself as an ego?
(11:26):
No, but I know that I've beenknocked down.
I've been knocked down andevery time I get back up, I get
back up.
I get knocked down and I getback up.
Lord, I thank you.
(11:50):
I say all of that to say y'allwe, in some different times, we
in some different times, andsome of us have fought hard to
even get a little bit of peaceand we're fighting hard to keep
it To, whereas I've shifted myfocus.
(12:12):
I'm not focused on the issue orthe problem.
I'm focused on it has to getbetter.
This cannot last forever.
Joy does come in the morning.
It might not be that nextmorning, it may not be that next
(12:34):
week.
I got to know that.
I got to know that, without ashadow of the doubt, the joy is
coming.
The joy of the Lord is bystrength.
I have to keep God first.
(12:55):
That's his place in my life.
He's first then me Y'all hearthat First then me, then
everything else flows,everything else falls.
That's when you begin to beginI just said begin to many times
(13:22):
but that's when maturity sets in, because you learn to love you
unconditionally, no matter yourshape, how you look, your hair,
it doesn't matter.
You got to learn to love youfirst, because God's love never
(13:46):
changes.
For us.
We change.
That's good, lord, I thank you.
We change.
Oh, he don't change.
He's the same God yesterday,today, tomorrow.
We can count on that.
But we change, we change.
(14:17):
Now the challenge is for us tolive unapologetically, live
knowing it's going to work inour favor, live knowing that
without a shadow of the doubt.
Then, no, we are not permitted,but we can find and strive to
(14:46):
be in perfect peace.
We can learn to be like the egoand just keep elevating and
elevating, and elevating,because eventually things fall
off.
Oh Lord, I thank you.
I'm sitting here, and if thethought just came that that's
(15:11):
even how we experience the lossof loved ones.
They elevate my God.
They fly, they fly.
Oh, that's good.
That did something to me.
They go higher, they go higher.
That's why I always rememberthat someone told me if you fall
(15:44):
on your back and you're lookingup, that's where your help
coming from.
Lord, I thank you.
I did not expect to get on hereand be emotional, but I think I
(16:07):
said enough.
We have to be intentional now.
We cannot afford to waste timebecause time is not waiting on
us.
Y'all.
If you have a calling on yourlife, I encourage you, no matter
(16:30):
what your pockets look like, nomatter the doubt, the fear, try
, try it again.
It's time I'm going to mirrorand say I am everything and will
(17:01):
be what God created me to be.
I will be what God created meto be.
I will do on this earth whatGod wanted me to do.
(17:22):
That's good.
That's good there.
That's good.
Step out Quick on love.
Go higher y'all.
Go higher that, no matter whatGod is going to be there.
(17:47):
I'll end by saying I'm notasking you not to feel, because
me feeling got me to this pointthat I can sit here and I can
sit here and I can sit here andI can sit here and I can sit
here, and I can sit here andliterally go through things now
(18:09):
and say Lord, I thank you.
I can pick and choose mybattles.
I can pick and choose what I'mgoing to fight.
I can pick and choose if I wantto.
Today I want to argue, which Idon't like to argue, never like
to argue, but sometimes, youknow, you get there right.
I'm not perfect.
This is a new beginning.
(18:38):
Take it.
Take what you need.
Encourage yourself.
Don't look for others toencourage you.
Encourage yourself.
Give yourself grace before yougive somebody else grace.
Before you give somebody elsegrace, always remember it is
(18:58):
okay to not be okay.
Just don't stay there.
Don't settle, don't settle.
You are better than that.
(19:18):
Don't settle, don't settle.
In closing, you were created onpurpose, for a purpose.
(19:39):
Lord I thank you.
I'm going to say it one moretime and then I'm going to end
you were created on purpose andfor a purpose.
(20:02):
Lord I thank you.
Alright y'all.
So what did we get out of this?
We're going to fly high.
(20:22):
We're going to fly high.
We are going to soar Y'all.
I'm sitting here laughingbecause I'm trying to unlock my
computer, because it just lockedand it's not letting me unlock
(20:43):
and I can't cut it off until itlets me back in.
Let's give the rest of thisyear everything we got.
What I'm loving more than everis how I'm loving myself.
(21:06):
First, lord, I thank you, amen,because life is worth living.
You just got to live the lifethat you want.
All right, y'all.

(21:51):
Just really riding a, hey, I'mflying y'all.
I'm flying like an eagle.
I am really loving this newjourney and mission that I'm on
and I'm loving those that arestill left in my life while I'm
going through it.
So, hey, I pray that thisblesses you as it just blessed
(22:20):
me.
Remember the words that I sayis never to sway you to be me.
Take what you need, leave whatyou don't, but just know this,

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there.
