Speaker 3 (01:18):
Well, good evening, How are you all doing this fine evening,
second to the last Monday of the month of March.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
And no you're not dreaming, No, you're just You're not
in a fog. This is true. But before we go
any further, let's pray. Father, we just loved you so much.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
We are forever giving you all the praise, the glory
and the honor. It's still not enough. It's still not enough.
There's not enough words in the dictionary to give you praise,
to honor you.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
There's not enough.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
So the least we can do is try to get
live our lives in accordance to what you would have
us to do. I love you so much and the
conversations I've had, the interactions I've had just in the
last few days.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Have blown my mind.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Lord. I pray that others have experienced this, especially this
week and now do to prophecy.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I know why. I thank you God. We thank you God. Now,
as always, this is setting it straight with Miss Gray.
Is your program, it's your podcast, it's your time of interaction,
it's your time of communication.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
We stand and we get quickly behind the cross because
we know not what your audience needs to hear.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Tonight, We've ever given you off the praise, the glory
and the honor.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Lord.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
We also intercede for those lives that have been lost
with these crazy storms and tornadoes this this last weekend
and the weekend alone, losing over thirty some odd people
five six car thirty car pile ups who we would.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Have never expected or guessed this. I wan't just be
with us tonight.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You speak to your people through us. We give you
all the glory, honor, and the mighty name.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Of Jesus Christ. Amen and amen. Right, Well, here we go,
here we go.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Well I'm excited. I was just as we were coming,
you know, waiting to come on. I was talking to
Pastor Miguel and Rebel our engineer, and I couldn't believe
it because I was setting. I was filling out a
form that goes onto iHeartRadio about our show. So I
have to fill in the dates, and I mean the time,
the title and all that good stuff and some words,
(03:36):
some keywords and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
So I'm on my computer and all of a sudden, this.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Announcement comes up that broaches have entered a new era
and here is how you can style them in twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
And let me tell you about my love of broach.
For brochures, brochures, broaches, I've always I think they're just
unique pins, unique pieces of jewelry.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yes, you've got to wear it the right way, with
the right garment, with the right earrings. Your accessories have
to be on points. So I'm going to show you.
Let me just do a little history here, Victoria Area.
Broach just went mainstream as royals like Queen Victoria adopted
lavish takes on the accessory. In fact, Prince Albert famously
(04:25):
gifted her a sapphire and diamond brooch the night before
the couple's wedding in eighteen forty and she wore it
to tie the knot the next day and another and.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I had no idea. I've noticed, I've watched how Queen
Elizabeth would dressed. I was just taken aback by her hats.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
And they note her as well in this article and
they said the accessory was also a staple in Queen
Elizabeth's too royal ensembles, even long before she took the
throne in nineteen fifty two. And there was an author
who I guess her first book, Fourth of the Queen,
and it's called The Queen's Jewels, the personal collection of.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Queen of Elizabeth believed she owned and they.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Believe she owned ninety eight brooches ninety eight throughout her life,
and many of her styles had hidden meetings. Here we go,
such as the flower basket brooch that her parents gifted
her prior to the birth of her son, King Charles.
The Monarch revived the broch in twenty thirteen alongside her
(05:30):
signature pearls. Another classic jury category experiencing a resurgence, and
I think her great grandson Prince George, when she was
they were christening Prince George and then Madeleine Albright, the
first woman to served in the United States Secretary of State,
was another prominent figure known for her broch collection. She
(05:55):
even wrote a memoir titled Read My Pens, Story from
a Diplomat's Jury Box jewel Box, and she talks about
the brooches that she wore. So without further ado, and
I'm gonna read the rest of that. But I had
to run and go get my brooches because last week
I was gathering stuff to donate to Goodwill or indoor
(06:18):
Salvation Army. And I finally went through all of my
jewelry boxes. Don't be trying to break in on anything,
because you will get hurt. You won't succeed, So don't
even take this to the wrong way. And I said,
you know, this jury piece is that I'm not gonna
wear anymore ear rings and stuff like that to like
the light. Rather, I'm not gonna wear these things anymore.
And so I came up with a half a bag
(06:40):
of little nylon bag of jewelry that I donated. But
I came to the drawer with my pant my brooches
in it, and I looked at all the pieces that
I had collected, so far that I was given. These
are gifts, and I said, I can't. I can't let
them go. I can't let them go. So I want
to show you real quick some of my pieces. This
(07:01):
is one of my favorite ones. Here that's a lion
with all the jewels in it, and I'm not ambiguous,
he's just lions. I have my oh, let me go
this way elephant, if you can see that one. I
can't remember where I got this little fella from, but
(07:22):
I have had him.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
For years, literally years.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, and then I got I picked this up somewhere
I'm not quite sure to wear, but you just you know,
you can put it or you can put it in
your hat.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
This one was funny.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I think I went to a cultural uh event and
picked that up. And I love the women that I
love the view of the church women in their hats,
you know, I love that. And let's say, oh, oh,
this is this is the oldest piece that I've ever had,
and I believe it came out of my mom's jewelry. Yeah,
(08:01):
that was my that's before nineteen forties. And here's another
one that's an oldie but a goodie. And I just
couldn't let these go. I just couldn't. And now they're
coming back.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Now. I think my grandmother had a fascination with them.
Hey miss it. Yeah yeah, I'm telling you.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
You know, when people lose their elders, you know you're
looking at different things, and you know you try to
inherit or whatever. But look in their jury box, looking
their hat box. Now, this one was given to me
by Damon John of the Shark Tank and a Fooboo,
because he was here and I attended one of his
money management type of things and he sent us out
(08:40):
to He gave these to all of us rising grind
and that's one of his mottos. And then I don't
know how I got this one because it's in a
little cute thing here and go in real d oh.
It's like, Lady Liberty, I'm sorry, I can't do this.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Real good is that the woman? Isn't that the woman
of justice?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Okay, there you go.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
See.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I didn't even know what it was, but somebody gave
this to me in a nice's little and I still
have it in this little tuble thing. So things are
coming back into style, and that started years ago because
you know, I mean people just especially as young kids,
you know, they put on.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Anything and it doesn't even have to match.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
It doesn't have to They put on circles and rectangles
and triangles and all kinds of stuff, and you know,
stripe sucks, and you know, it doesn't matter the matching.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
And my daughter says, it's too sorry about that. Why
are you doing? I said, because I have to match.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
So my headband has to match, my my my my
accessories have to match it.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
It's more important to me, especially.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Since I became, you know, an MPTE and my kids
are like so my headbands and my my accessories and
my glasses now have to And then I have my
you know, my blade bracists with the.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Cross on it.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You just never know when time changes for you or
changes you.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
You know, you just don't know. And thank goodness for Amazon.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Amazon became my safe haven and I uh, get out
of this real quick.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And so you know, it's what I have. This is
the only thing I gave away over.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Eighty pairs of shoes because and this is the reason
why this is so important to me, because before my
amputations and everything, I was always a plus sized girl.
I'm not I mean, I'm not an obese, but I've
always been.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Those little cute. Thank you, Thank you, Mickey.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I've always been, you know, a plus sized girl, and
I just want to cover myself. I just want I
would wear the long sweaters and the long skirts, and
that was an era.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I would do the maxi look.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I would never do the really the mini look above
my knee because I just didn't celebrate.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Myself like that. I just wanted to make sure I
was covered.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
So the only thing you really could see is, of
course my our garments and my accessories.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
But my eyeglass.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Frames were very important to me because I would I
have no idea, no no desire to have contact lenses,
so my glasses had to match nearly everything I wear.
So when I go when my optometrists, she has what
they call this trunk show and all the design about
three or four designers.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Uh uh uh uh com forward uh d y n k.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Uh not less Clayborn, but there's a few more and
uh what's the person the guys at Italy Uh oh
god dnng uh yes, yes, yes, they have their reps
that come. So I walk in the second time I
did it the first time. I attended it the first
time years ago before the world shut down.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Nothing wrong with plus side if you look amazing, oh
and see thank you, I love you, thank you. But
you know, I mean I want you all to hear that.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
You know, you know it's everybody has an issue and
it's going to tie into tonight's check. You know about happiness,
you know, the day of happiness really, because I suffered
that in silence, and thank god I wasn't bullied about
my size. And I think I don't know if folks
were just afraid of me, but because I have I
(12:29):
had a mouth on me too. I didn't use profanity,
but I will come for you and make I can
make you cry, you know, so leave me alone. I
don't bother anybody, but you know, trail showing them my
brooches and stuff because the broachers are back in style,
and Queen Elizabeth actually and Madelon alright and a.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Few other people have brought that back, so broaches up it.
And I was just getting rid of some things.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I had a whole bag of clothes, twenty three blouses,
twenty three.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I had Donald to help them for me. And I
have a bag of jewelry. I have a bag of jewely.
One thing I haven't gotten rid.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Of yet, are my rings because they're so unique and
everything I haven't gotten rid of, I haven't been able
to do that.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I don't know. If I could try them.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
On and see if one of these will hold up
long enough, I don't know, because I have large rings,
oversized huh.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
If not, you might be able to find a way
to use your rings and another piece of jewelry, make
it into a brooch or make it into an ear
ring or bracelet.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, okay, and I got the drooler from for that,
So I'm gonna I'm gonna, you know, when I'm ready
to make that that that leap, you know, because getting
rid of my clothes, the only thing I had to
comfort me was Amazon and to be able to order
because I didn't want to go out of my house
when I first came home, and then especially after I
(13:49):
was ampu teated, I didn't want to go out. I
didn't want nobody to see me except those that you
know't really care, my inner circle. But now I'm just
so happy. I'm happy today anyway. But when I just
read this, you know, I was doing the forum for
the show and I saw what brooches are back, and.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
You know, I was like, oh my God, so I
had to run and go get mine and show you
all those.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
But you know, happiness, everybody has to define happiness for themselves.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
What's happy for me is not happy for my daughter.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
It's not happy for my sons, it's not happy for
people in my age group.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Everybody.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
That's a whole different level, and it's isolated, it's customized
to you. You know, I loved being married. I didn't
like being a girlfriend. I would tell, you know, my suitors, no,
I'm not somebody's girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I'm somebody's wife.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
And even though the first decision, you know, but I
got my son out of that, you know, and you know,
and then the twins came along at God's expense.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
But you know, I love marriage. I love my wedding ring.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I love what that symbolized, and I love the sanctity
of marriage.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I loved that.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I love being Missus Knights, and I loved being even
Missus Lewis.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Uh, And especially if you were raised and your parents
had a good marriage. My parents were married for like
almost over fifty some years, and you know, and stuff
like that when you and then I watch, you know,
older couples, and I watch couples who are really in love,
they're not that lustful love that they are really they
gently grab each other's hand, or you know, the other
(15:30):
one would clean off the table at the restaurant and
and just to look at each other. And it's just
I could just sit there and stare at people for days.
But what makes me happy? You know, it's a different thing.
And that changes over the years too. Okay, that changes
as you grow younger and you experience different things in life.
(15:52):
It changes what makes you happy?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
That's why you have goals. That's why you should have
a vision board. Everybody may and men and women should
have a vision board.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Kids should.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
If they can write and they can dream, they can
write down their dreams. You need to have a vision
board because I don't know how you're being led. I
don't know what your roadmap is. And even though I
totally one thousand percent lean and depend on God, he
still told me write down your goals and check it
for me. I check it every thirty days, and I
(16:25):
check off things overflow, wisdom, you know, those are the
things my favorite scriptures. Now my prayer points are on
this year's vision board. But you have to decide, and
another thing too, and then everybody, y'all come on in
here a good yell or unmuted could another person cannot
(16:46):
be the end all of your happiness. Yes, those of
us who have children, we want them to succeed. And
I'm just speaking for myself. How many times I recently
have told all three of them, I said, you know,
the world's gonna settle, and you all gonna have to
be ready to go.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
You're going to go. This is my dream house.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
This is part of my dream and I know people
have they not say it outwardly for fear of my
wrath or something. I don't know what it is, but
I know people are looking at me like you got
adult children still living at home? Yeah, because I don't
have a revolving door. I don't have a revolving door.
Once they pack up and go, they have to stay gone.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Leave my key behind. And if I need you, I
know how to find y'all. Well, we'll you know, but
I'll be okay. If I have to pay people to
come in and help, I'll be okay. But you have
to go and live this thing. You have to go,
and you have to go. I love whit kids.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I'm happy. We laugh.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
We're the most laughing family you'll ever meet because we
just be I mean, gut laughing, you know, over just
the littlest thing, over memories and things like that. But
you know, at the end of the hour, my kids
are not my end all to happiness. My husbands did
not end up being my end all for happiness. I
had to find my happiness things that I do that
(18:06):
makes me happy and believe.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
It or not.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Being able to know that broachers are back in style
and they're going full force.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I am so happy.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
So I can hardly wait to see what Mother's Day
gifts and Birthday and Christmas gifts.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
So just get me a gift card. Let me go
get my own. I'll be okay. But you know what,
y'all come on in here, because our time is going
by so fast. What are y'all thinking about? You know, happiness?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
And and again tonight's show, it's called happiness. A day
of happiness really, especially the era, the Asian and era
we are in right now.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Go ahead, Trey, you were just I could just see
ready to say something. Go ahead, Well, I.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Think I wanted to piggyback on this when you said,
vision born and when children can write, but maybe even
a little earlier than that. If there's like pictures, you
know that the thing is that they want or to
aspire to be, they can use like a picture vision
board without the words and then lack of the parents
(19:09):
can kind of help navigate that, you know, kind of
keep them on track. So in order for you to
get there here, like if you want to aspire to be,
say a doctor, what do you need to do?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You need to work on your behavior.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
You need to study practice studying in school.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
You know, because to be a doctor you have to
be knowledgeable. So it could be just like a start there.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
The other thing I want to say what happened is
I think it doesn't take a whole.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Lot to make me happy. I enjoy.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
I limit who is around me that's negative. I can't
do the negative energy. That mean I can't do that
too well.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I love going to scenic places of water. Look at that.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
I mean, it's nothing like it I tell you that
makes me happy. You know, maybe catch a nap or
eat some lunch.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Out there and just kind of be still, you know,
and with nothing.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
And like I tell people, it's like you can hear
to win. I know you feel it, but when you're
sellent enough.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
You can hear.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
It's something about it. I can't explain it, but it's
just so serene. That makes me happy.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
When I see the people.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Around me that I really love and care about, when
they're happy, that makes me happy.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
So you know, there are things that I aspire to have.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
You know, it's not like I don't inspire to have
the biggest house, but I would like my house to
have a place where I can entertain if need be.
A bedroom is nice that I can just enjoy that
if I stay there. A big arts and crafts room
where I can just go in there with all my
arts and crafts.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Different tables so if I want to pay, ain't the
day or you know, color tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Each table has something different.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I just want their creativity, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
And I notice lately just being more in tune than myself.
I said, okay, juices are coming back, They're flowing better.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
You know, I'm becoming more of me.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
And you know, Lisha and I think pastor you know,
the things that I talk to you about, and it's
just it's just I think the joy of it.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
That's another thing.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
The joy, not only happiness, but joy. And to know
that I have people that care so much about me.
The fact that I'm employed, the fact that I can
use my talents to help others, use my knowledge to
help others. You know, people who are caregivers, you know,
just give them some insight, encouragement, motivation, help, you know.
(21:51):
Those are the things that make me happy and joys.
Being able to do what I think some of the
things God has purposed me to do. And I'm just
excited to see what it's going to have me do
that I really am.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
So that ain't matched my speed.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
I just wanted to come in on a couple of
things you said, and Pastor, you get ready to go now.
I when I was separated from my last husband, I
and we didn't go to the movies that uh that much.
But I one day I just had dropped the twins
off the school. Donald was at college, and I said,
(22:25):
I want to go to the movies. And there's certain
movies you have to see at the theater. There's just
certain movies of sixty inch TV. Fifty in TV is
not going to do it. You need to go to
that whole have that whole sharround sound, and I'm like,
and I didn't think about God, I'm going by myself,
and it was that was it was a big thing
for me. But the moment I jumped out of the cars,
I'm going to see this movie because it's more important
(22:47):
than what I'm feeling, because I wanted and I could go,
and I grab my popcorn and I got my icy
and I went up up the rolls and stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
So here it is years later. You know, I can't
unless the kids go with me, and one of the
kids go with me.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Don't go past level C. And sitting in the handicap
spot is just as nice. It's nice and nobody around
you and stuff. And as long as I I got
my cup holder, I'm gonna shure you this. You see
me when I'm drinking it, but you see my cup
over there, That's how I go.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I've got a huge Mello Luca bag. I put my
popcorn in.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
That and then I take my you know, my my
icy drink and get it together and I have to
all cried. I just ordered some brand new handles for
my cups and because they got some nice colors out now.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
So that's that big thing for me.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
And I get excited because I was like, oh, oh
w I'm telling myself, dond look they got this guff
they got it. And I know my son's like, oh wow, handles.
Cup handles excite my mom. But yeah, because I'm like
and then somebody said, oh my god, I picked up
my cup and the lady waitress said, oh my god,
I've never seen it.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Shoes.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I need to get one of those for my dad.
I said, Amazon is your best friend. Amazon just put
twenty ounce of Tumblr handles.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
You'll find it. They got double ones too, so you know.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And it's just if people see me, you know, maneuvering
and stuff like this.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
So little things make me happy. I could go to
the movies now by myself. I enjoy going by myself.
The kids get mad at me because you had to
tell you we're going to the movies. I said, yeah,
I think you'd like the movie.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
You know, I know they would be like, you know,
I wanted to be by myself. I want to be
by myself, So that makes me happy, pastor take it away.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I love.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
What makes me happy is cooking for my kids. Oh
I can't tell you that. One of one of the
greatest joys that I experience is on Christmas Day, making pancakes, waffles,
making chicken and waffles, just a full blown out breakfast
(24:52):
for my kids. I could care less about opening presents.
All I just want to do is feed my kids.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Oh wow.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
And that's just it just gives me such an amazing
joy because I have Before I met Gina, I I
just had two boys. Yeah. Uh, when I met Gina,
we had two girls. So now I had two boys,
two girls. So before I knew it, I had two boys,
(25:25):
two girls, four grandkids. They were just like multiplying like bacteria.
But you know, but it's it's it's absolutely an absolute
joy to just watching them laugh, interact with one another.
(25:46):
Then I'm just stuffing food down their throat because I
I it's just something that that I just want them
to be happy and it's and it just because it
gives me the joy I do that. Then another and
I'm gonna use the word that Trey used when to
use the word serene. One of the things that that
(26:08):
Gene and I enjoy doing is we like to go
on cruises. Now why cruises, Well, when you're when you're
seeing the open ocean, when you get to see the
different colors of blues, and you do see wildlife from
the ocean, you know, popping up. We got to see
(26:30):
I heard a dolphins race against the ship. That's a
pretty cool thing. And when we went to Alaska, we
saw whales coming out of breaching, which is pretty pretty
cool as well. And you really get to see God's work.
And that's when you really have to say that wow,
that's the only word that really can come out when
(26:53):
you also are on the ship and you're seeing the
sun set as he says.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Its okay, okay, you enjoy creating.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
So those are those are just moments that that you
really get to see God's work in it. And to me,
that's what it's all about. It reveals that God is
alive and and God is revealing his beauty in his creation.
And and you know, we're we're going to be going
(27:27):
to Europe in May and we're going to be doing uh,
We're going to see Spain for the first time.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
We're going to have paea, which is a Spanish dish
with rice and seafood and all that, and and we
get to enjoy the.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Beauties of other people creating, other people creating the meal
and and you get to enjoy the different cultures and
and this is where we have to kind of step
back and just absorb it because this way you're participating
in it, you are witnessing it, and you get to
(28:07):
really see different cultures that are outside of our culture
here in the United States. So I mean, I can
go on and on, because there's just many different things
that really make me feel joyful. And that's what that's
just part of it. But mostly when you lately, I've
(28:29):
been studying the Word, and as I'm studying the Word,
my wife said something, and to this day I'm starting
to see what she's saying. And what she said is
that the more she reads the Word, the more that
she studies the Word, the more in love the falls
(28:50):
for God. And then I when she said that, I'm like,
completely understand what you mean because I can't get enough.
And the more I learn of Him, the more I'm
just like, I don't care what's happening in the world.
I feel joyful being in the presence of Christ, being
(29:12):
in the presence of my Maker, being in the presence
of learning Him. And that's why I can understand why Moses.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Oh wow, Anastasia, I hear you, We hear you. We've
been there too. Circle around.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Yeah, there's a lot of different things. It's a hope
for me. So you really really can't pinpoint one particular thing.
So you know that's those are some of the things
that that really make me joyful. And and that to
me is what what's so important in our walk what
(29:47):
brings us joy and surrounding with people that that that
love us, that that not always agree with us, but
the ability to have a conversation that becomes a joy
being around them because this is what you know. They're
not putting on a different mask. You know them are
(30:10):
that I mean is a great opportunity to grow and
know the people that you're.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Around and stays. Here's your homework.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I want you, between now and next week, write down
five things when you think of happy and joy for
you personally, even if it's birds chirping, even if it's
the rooster in the backyard that you can never see.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Whatever it is I want you to write down, don't
think much about it.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I just want you to have a piece of paper
and have a journal in front of you and write
down number one, this, number two, this, It doesn't matter
what anybody thinks. I want you to say what makes
me happy? And you're smiling automatically.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
When you're thinking about it. I want you to write.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Down those five things, and then I want you to
close the journal and then present it next Monday. Don't look,
don't open it up until next Monday, and you'll be
sharing it with us.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
If you need a little help in a stasia, you
need a little help relations five twenty two.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
She's not answering and a stage where yet? Way yet?
Come on, that's the challenge. We can see you or not.
Thank you. I think I could do that. Thank you, madam.
Thanks all right, Yes, that's all you have to do.
But I can't look at it anymore.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
But I think I think people sometimes when you think
of happy, it's almost like a reference to something like
you ever had one to say, Oh, you got to
try this restaurant.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
This restaurant is over the tide. You you got to
go there.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
When you get there and you try, so what kind
of thing that makes you happy?
Speaker 3 (31:42):
You're gonna ask your excuse me, just you're gonna ask
your something in the stage, and you have to do
it real fast.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
What makes me happy?
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
I love dogs. I like dogs. I like being around dogs. Okay,
that's number one. That's all about dogs. Okay. What makes
me happy? Wow?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Just five things, and then I need you to close
that that cover, put it away somewhere and we'll pick
it back up on Monday and we'll take it from there.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
That's all I need you to do. Just think about
you ask yourself what makes me happy, not who, not
how much, but what.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Makes me happy? Land on it and just write it
down real quick. Don't think about it long.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
I don't want you to do because then you'll talk
yourself out of it.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Don't think about just boomoom boom and past. I want
to pick itback on what you said. Just being with
the Lord today, I have been asking a question and
I could not get anybody. God told me three people
I could call. None of them were available. None of
them were available, and I'm like, wow, I didn't even
bother to call me back, didn't even bother the call.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
They don't even know what Field did do at that point.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Okay, okay, I we'll get it done. Thank you, thank you,
baby girl. Just do it, Just do it and don't
think nothing about it. Just just in those moments jot
them down, close up the book, and we'll talk about
it Monday. And I was like, Lord, and here all
this weekend, I'm like, I'm trying to get this answer
because all the scriptures and everything lined up scripturally, but
(33:12):
I didn't know what I'm supposed to do with it.
I didn't know what I was supposed to do with it.
So I'm like, Okay, I see it.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I got it. Revelation, I got it.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
I see it, Ezekiel, I see it. And today a
prophet a prophet. It is a lady who prophesizes pop
I've never heard of her. Pops up in my YouTube
and she I got a word for you, and I'm like,
o me and boom. I sent it to my co
host there Boom. I'm like, all I could do is
(33:40):
just I say God, and I teared up. I really did,
thank you, thank you. I knew it was something I
could not put my finger on it. I'm not gonna
go ahead of you. And a little commercial here. Another
fellow popped up in my thing. And let me tell
you and somebody y'all may disagree, and that's okay.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
You still love being wing. You all keep.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Talking about this Zi stuff and and all of a
sudden what those definitions were. Because before there were three
separate words that I knew, I never put them together.
And all of a sudden, now because of all the
you know that what's being taken away, what's being closed out,
people getting fired, all this stuff, then you got something
to say. You're not trying to encourage the people at all.
(34:22):
You just trying to put fear and hatred out there.
And let me tell you guess what Section eight was
not touched. Social Security, medicaid, medicare off the table because
people like us, we're praying behind the scenes. We're not
trying to incite anger and.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Riots and fear. We know what to do. We go
straight to got God.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yeah I'm not on fool stamps, but you know I
appreciate you know. I don't want to pray property property taxes.
I'll do inflation.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
I take it to my daddy, take it to the
Lord and prayer.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
So I put something on Facebook and I said it
you you all trying to incite people and make people
want to write, and you're making people want to kill
themselves because of your little commentary on you know what
you think is all? This is what this is what
they're gonna do this. No, and guess what.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
They tabled social Security.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Medicare, and Medicaid cuts last night at seven, wiped it
off the off the books.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
They ain't talking about it anymore.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
They're not gonna do it. That's the power of prayer.
And I know some may be saying that, well, that's
just for now. Yeah, you're right, it's just for that.
And guess what it gives us a little bit more time.
We've been warning you to save your money. We've been
warning you to get yourself off these welfare roles.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
If you can, We're warning you go get you two
and three jobs. It's gonna be all right. But you
spent your money on the lottery, you went to the casino.
You do this, You get.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Your little advices on the side that you think nobody
knows what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Come on, not cut it out, cut it out. I'm
done with y'all.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
And I'm talking to some people who've been in my
life for a minute, but I've lost all respect for you.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
What you're doing. Pray.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
You say you're a Christian, pray, let me see your
prayer points, let me see you walk it out in prayer,
because you know what, when you have that lifestyle of praying,
when you have that lifestyle of studying God's word, reading
God's word, if you want to put it that way
and you pray.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
You don't look the same, you don't sound the same.
You have to change, you want to change. Come on, now, that's.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
My host and my engineer didn't know I was gonna
come at that, but I have to put that out there.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
You better stop it. You better stop it because all.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
You're doing is you bringing you bringing rockish and rough
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
No blessings in your household.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
God don't bless mess, He don't bless gossipers. He don't
bless insiders. He don't not my God, my Lord and Savior,
my Jesus, my Holy Spirit.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
So cut it out. You have nothing positives to do.
What your mothers used to tell us. If you don't
have nothing positive, state, hush up.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Don't you say a word. We don't need the negativity
out here right now. We watch it too.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Trust me. I don't trust nobody. Let me make that clear.
I trust no man, woman, boy, or girl or a dog.
Cause my dog will leave you right now when she's
fed up, She threw she walk around. Look back at you.
Let not today. I trust nobody.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I only trust God because he had I've tried him,
and I see what he's done for me.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
And I'm not sorry. I what to say. And guess what,
We're still on the air for another whole year. So
let's go snap and biting. Keep your pin. If it's
not gonna edify somebody, if it's not gonna.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Motivate somebody, if it's not gonna influence positively, somebody's.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Like, keep it to yourself, keep you g yourself.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
We don't need that right now. The world's already got
us a little up uptight. We got y'all uptight, and
I'm just watching because I stay in my house. I
ain't got to go nowhere. Thank you, missy.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
I ain't got to go nowhere. I can stay in
my house.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
I'll go out if I want you to go see
my movies about what to co, what I.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Need to do. We've got lives out there that need
to be saved and set free. We've got people just
wondering what to do next.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
We got people cooking their last meal right now as
I speak.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
They can't even depend on nobody.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
That they know because they listen to your conversation and
your gussip, and you look it down on people, scaring
him half the jesty all could take it from me.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
We only got a few more minutes.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Well, I was just gonna say real quickly that in
Galatians five nineteen nineteen through twenty one, what you just
touched on, miss Gray is bought on when you follow
the desires of your sinful nature, your sinful nature. That
(38:48):
we're sinners, right, So Paul just puts out that the
results are very clear. So he already is letting us
know that because of our sinful nature, the results are
very clear. What are those desires? Sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy,
(39:11):
outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, uh dissension, division, envy, drunkenness,
wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell
you again as I have before, that anyone living that
sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
There you go, now, the Bible, the Bible is telling
(39:32):
us very clearly, whether you want to accept it or not,
this is what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
This is an exciting time in the spirit. I'm guilty
of something. Do with some of those things. Okay, in Stasia,
all you have to do when you get sick and
tired of it. Will you get sick and tired of it.
That's the only time we can do this. Will you
get sick of do? Will you, at a desperate point in.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Your life, fall down on your knees and repent first,
just say I'm sorry, and then try to live your life, try.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Not try not to do it again. The Lord's person,
don't you know? Uh, God, I follow your time. I
think I ain't anyone.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
I don't know if that's deliberat lead us not into temptation,
it says, lead us not into temptation, but.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Deliver us from evil. Stay right there. That's your platform,
and that's your platform right now. Deliver me from evil.
Don't tempt me, don't allow the temptation to come.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
You leave money out, and you really think that somebody's
on hard times. You know, you got a co worker
that's on hard times, and everything else is having a
drink here or they're too bad. No, as long as
they don't glury your faculties. If you get so wasted,
you don't even know where you at and you drive it.
You walking in the middle of the street to get it.
Don't just don't be giving to into wine. Don't let
(40:44):
it control you. And that's for anything, whether you smoke cigarettes,
whether you drink sweet tea where you used to.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Be hooked one French fries.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Come on now about ice cream?
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Oh my god, okay, we're very good.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
I don't for me, Anastasia, this is just me. I
don't like anything that will can take that can take
control over my mind.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
If you be a man, it can be a child,
it could be sisu, an associate, a coworker, a boss.
You don't you can't run me, and don't try to
overdo it.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
I told you by that. That time I was at
the why.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
Take a Weightlift weight loss weightlifting for as a as
an extra class, and.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
I went to the wire across the street.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
From school, and uh, they were having a yoga session
and the teacher came over to me and instruct her.
She said, hey, come joining yoga. I said, oh, okay,
I can do that, so you don't. I mean, I
try to get in all the positions and everything. But
then she goes, yes, just let us open your mind
so we could come in. I said, oh no, got up,
took my mat and walked out. And every time since then,
for the rest of the semester, I would see her.
(41:59):
But what about the open heavy with my boyfriend? Oh
okay and decision, okay, you get big down. I don't
know what all that means, but you know what that means.
And for you to ask that question, that's a question
for you. That's a question for you. But we all
have fallen short. I was talking to my daughter. Yes,
we were dinner, we went out to grabbing back to
(42:20):
eat and run some errands, and I was just telling her,
I said, you know, the worst the worst thing that
started my first marriage off was my father had died
in January, no February. I was slated to get married
in May of that year. I just talked to him
that weekend, convincing him to walk me down the aist
and he said, yes, I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
And my daddy dies in my arms two days later.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
So my first husband, he's renting where he's staying at
So I've got three or three bedroom house, so it
would make sense, you know what, we can save that
three months towards you know, whatever. This is my parents' house,
so you know, you come on and move in, so
of course.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
You're gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Well, he's staying in another room because that was my thing.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
And come to find out, he was not all that,
you know, he was like all that just natural adult behavior,
nothing inappropriate. We are not married. I got you.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
That's why I'm sharing this with you. First three months
and we had financially when we married.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
It was just this. It was just off the beat.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
It was just but I stayed married because I'm committed
to the marriage, to the word marriage, you know. But
I thought it was a good idea move in save money.
God's like, well, you didn't ask me right, and we're
both believes, And it didn't make the marriage any better.
It didn't make our finances any better. Because I lean
to my own understanding. And we all have those stories
in the stage.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
We all have them.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
It's just do you have to make up your mind
where you stand. You have to make up your mind
and have a clear conscience and stand on it, stand
on it.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Well, we've all been there, baby girl, We have all
been there. We know. We made it look real nice
and clean and smell good.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
When I broaches look good when I broaches at our accessories.
But trust me, we till my autobiography come out. You're
gonna say this great, Yeah he wouldn't. This little fell
an't even date you. You got my apples and you
want me to hear your pants and you.

Act it up. I burt your pants.
Speaker 3 (44:15):
Yeah, well I broke your records and I burnt your
pants and I need him them.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
So what what you gonna say?
Speaker 4 (44:22):
All that?
Speaker 2 (44:23):
And I'm gonna name names too. That's a true story anyway,
because I love my albums. But you have to make
up your mind and got already in the month.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (44:33):
I mean, the time is out, but you pray about it.
But do your homework first. Do your homework. Do your
homework first, and we'll go from there.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
But don't judge yourself like that because you'll never want
you'll never think you're good enough to come to God.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
And you can't make yourself holy enough.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
You can't clean, you can't bathe with a brillo pad.
You can't, you know, lighten your skin, darken your skin.
You can't do enough. Come to God as you are.
He loves you just as you are. That's our time.
We love you. We're praying for each of every one
of you. Y'all be safe out there.

And no you're not dreaming, No, you're just You're not

any further, let's pray. Father, we just loved you so much.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
We are forever giving you all the praise, the glory
and the honor. It's still not enough. It's still not enough.
There's not enough words in the dictionary to give you praise,
to honor you.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
There's not enough.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
So the least we can do is try to get

conversations I've had, the interactions I've had just in the

we know not what your audience needs to hear.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Tonight, We've ever given you off the praise, the glory
and the honor.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Lord.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
We also intercede for those lives that have been lost
with these crazy storms and tornadoes this this last weekend
and the weekend alone, losing over thirty some odd people
five six car thirty car pile ups who we would.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Have never expected or guessed this. I wan't just be
with us tonight.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You speak to your people through us. We give you
all the glory, honor, and the mighty name.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Of Jesus Christ. Amen and amen. Right, Well, here we go,
here we go.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Well I'm excited. I was just as we were coming,
you know, waiting to come on. I was talking to
Pastor Miguel and Rebel our engineer, and I couldn't believe
it because I was setting. I was filling out a
form that goes onto iHeartRadio about our show. So I
have to fill in the dates, and I mean the time,
the title and all that good stuff and some words,
(03:36):
some keywords and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
So I'm on my computer and all of a sudden, this.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Announcement comes up that broaches have entered a new era
and here is how you can style them in twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
And let me tell you about my love of broach.
For brochures, brochures, broaches, I've always I think they're just
unique pins, unique pieces of jewelry.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yes, you've got to wear it the right way, with
the right garment, with the right earrings. Your accessories have
to be on points. So I'm going to show you.
Let me just do a little history here, Victoria Area.
Broach just went mainstream as royals like Queen Victoria adopted
lavish takes on the accessory. In fact, Prince Albert famously
(04:25):
gifted her a sapphire and diamond brooch the night before
the couple's wedding in eighteen forty and she wore it
to tie the knot the next day and another and.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I had no idea. I've noticed, I've watched how Queen
Elizabeth would dressed. I was just taken aback by her hats.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
And they note her as well in this article and
they said the accessory was also a staple in Queen
Elizabeth's too royal ensembles, even long before she took the
throne in nineteen fifty two. And there was an author
who I guess her first book, Fourth of the Queen,
and it's called The Queen's Jewels, the personal collection of.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Queen of Elizabeth believed she owned and they.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Believe she owned ninety eight brooches ninety eight throughout her life,
and many of her styles had hidden meetings. Here we go,
such as the flower basket brooch that her parents gifted
her prior to the birth of her son, King Charles.
The Monarch revived the broch in twenty thirteen alongside her
(05:30):
signature pearls. Another classic jury category experiencing a resurgence, and
I think her great grandson Prince George, when she was
they were christening Prince George and then Madeleine Albright, the
first woman to served in the United States Secretary of State,
was another prominent figure known for her broch collection. She
(05:55):
even wrote a memoir titled Read My Pens, Story from
a Diplomat's Jury Box jewel Box, and she talks about
the brooches that she wore. So without further ado, and
I'm gonna read the rest of that. But I had
to run and go get my brooches because last week
I was gathering stuff to donate to Goodwill or indoor
(06:18):
Salvation Army. And I finally went through all of my
jewelry boxes. Don't be trying to break in on anything,
because you will get hurt. You won't succeed, So don't
even take this to the wrong way. And I said,
you know, this jury piece is that I'm not gonna
wear anymore ear rings and stuff like that to like
the light. Rather, I'm not gonna wear these things anymore.
And so I came up with a half a bag
(06:40):
of little nylon bag of jewelry that I donated. But
I came to the drawer with my pant my brooches
in it, and I looked at all the pieces that
I had collected, so far that I was given. These
are gifts, and I said, I can't. I can't let
them go. I can't let them go. So I want
to show you real quick some of my pieces. This
(07:01):
is one of my favorite ones. Here that's a lion
with all the jewels in it, and I'm not ambiguous,
he's just lions. I have my oh, let me go
this way elephant, if you can see that one. I
can't remember where I got this little fella from, but
(07:22):
I have had him.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
For years, literally years.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, and then I got I picked this up somewhere
I'm not quite sure to wear, but you just you know,
you can put it or you can put it in
your hat.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
This one was funny.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I think I went to a cultural uh event and
picked that up. And I love the women that I
love the view of the church women in their hats,
you know, I love that. And let's say, oh, oh,
this is this is the oldest piece that I've ever had,
and I believe it came out of my mom's jewelry. Yeah,
(08:01):
that was my that's before nineteen forties. And here's another
one that's an oldie but a goodie. And I just
couldn't let these go. I just couldn't. And now they're
coming back.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Now. I think my grandmother had a fascination with them.
Hey miss it. Yeah yeah, I'm telling you.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
You know, when people lose their elders, you know you're
looking at different things, and you know you try to
inherit or whatever. But look in their jury box, looking
their hat box. Now, this one was given to me
by Damon John of the Shark Tank and a Fooboo,
because he was here and I attended one of his
money management type of things and he sent us out
(08:40):
to He gave these to all of us rising grind
and that's one of his mottos. And then I don't
know how I got this one because it's in a
little cute thing here and go in real d oh.
It's like, Lady Liberty, I'm sorry, I can't do this.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Real good is that the woman? Isn't that the woman
of justice?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Okay, there you go.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
See.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I didn't even know what it was, but somebody gave
this to me in a nice's little and I still
have it in this little tuble thing. So things are
coming back into style, and that started years ago because
you know, I mean people just especially as young kids,
you know, they put on.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Anything and it doesn't even have to match.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
It doesn't have to They put on circles and rectangles
and triangles and all kinds of stuff, and you know,
stripe sucks, and you know, it doesn't matter the matching.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
And my daughter says, it's too sorry about that. Why
are you doing? I said, because I have to match.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
So my headband has to match, my my my my
accessories have to match it.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
It's more important to me, especially.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Since I became, you know, an MPTE and my kids
are like so my headbands and my my accessories and
my glasses now have to And then I have my
you know, my blade bracists with the.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Cross on it.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You just never know when time changes for you or
changes you.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
You know, you just don't know. And thank goodness for Amazon.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Amazon became my safe haven and I uh, get out
of this real quick.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And so you know, it's what I have. This is
the only thing I gave away over.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Eighty pairs of shoes because and this is the reason
why this is so important to me, because before my
amputations and everything, I was always a plus sized girl.
I'm not I mean, I'm not an obese, but I've
always been.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Those little cute. Thank you, Thank you, Mickey.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I've always been, you know, a plus sized girl, and
I just want to cover myself. I just want I
would wear the long sweaters and the long skirts, and
that was an era.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I would do the maxi look.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I would never do the really the mini look above
my knee because I just didn't celebrate.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Myself like that. I just wanted to make sure I
was covered.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
So the only thing you really could see is, of
course my our garments and my accessories.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
But my eyeglass.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Frames were very important to me because I would I
have no idea, no no desire to have contact lenses,
so my glasses had to match nearly everything I wear.
So when I go when my optometrists, she has what
they call this trunk show and all the design about
three or four designers.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Uh uh uh uh com forward uh d y n k.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Uh not less Clayborn, but there's a few more and
uh what's the person the guys at Italy Uh oh
god dnng uh yes, yes, yes, they have their reps
that come. So I walk in the second time I
did it the first time. I attended it the first
time years ago before the world shut down.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Nothing wrong with plus side if you look amazing, oh
and see thank you, I love you, thank you. But
you know, I mean I want you all to hear that.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
You know, you know it's everybody has an issue and
it's going to tie into tonight's check. You know about happiness,
you know, the day of happiness really, because I suffered
that in silence, and thank god I wasn't bullied about
my size. And I think I don't know if folks
were just afraid of me, but because I have I
(12:29):
had a mouth on me too. I didn't use profanity,
but I will come for you and make I can
make you cry, you know, so leave me alone. I
don't bother anybody, but you know, trail showing them my
brooches and stuff because the broachers are back in style,
and Queen Elizabeth actually and Madelon alright and a.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Few other people have brought that back, so broaches up it.
And I was just getting rid of some things.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I had a whole bag of clothes, twenty three blouses,
twenty three.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I had Donald to help them for me. And I
have a bag of jewelry. I have a bag of jewely.
One thing I haven't gotten rid.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Of yet, are my rings because they're so unique and
everything I haven't gotten rid of, I haven't been able
to do that.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I don't know. If I could try them.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
On and see if one of these will hold up
long enough, I don't know, because I have large rings,
oversized huh.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
If not, you might be able to find a way
to use your rings and another piece of jewelry, make
it into a brooch or make it into an ear
ring or bracelet.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, okay, and I got the drooler from for that,
So I'm gonna I'm gonna, you know, when I'm ready
to make that that that leap, you know, because getting
rid of my clothes, the only thing I had to
comfort me was Amazon and to be able to order
because I didn't want to go out of my house
when I first came home, and then especially after I
(13:49):
was ampu teated, I didn't want to go out. I
didn't want nobody to see me except those that you
know't really care, my inner circle. But now I'm just
so happy. I'm happy today anyway. But when I just
read this, you know, I was doing the forum for
the show and I saw what brooches are back, and.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
You know, I was like, oh my God, so I
had to run and go get mine and show you
all those.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
But you know, happiness, everybody has to define happiness for themselves.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
What's happy for me is not happy for my daughter.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
It's not happy for my sons, it's not happy for
people in my age group.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Everybody.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
That's a whole different level, and it's isolated, it's customized
to you. You know, I loved being married. I didn't
like being a girlfriend. I would tell, you know, my suitors, no,
I'm not somebody's girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I'm somebody's wife.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
And even though the first decision, you know, but I
got my son out of that, you know, and you know,
and then the twins came along at God's expense.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
But you know, I love marriage. I love my wedding ring.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I love what that symbolized, and I love the sanctity
of marriage.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I loved that.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I love being Missus Knights, and I loved being even
Missus Lewis.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Uh, And especially if you were raised and your parents
had a good marriage. My parents were married for like
almost over fifty some years, and you know, and stuff
like that when you and then I watch, you know,
older couples, and I watch couples who are really in love,
they're not that lustful love that they are really they
gently grab each other's hand, or you know, the other
(15:30):
one would clean off the table at the restaurant and
and just to look at each other. And it's just
I could just sit there and stare at people for days.
But what makes me happy? You know, it's a different thing.
And that changes over the years too. Okay, that changes
as you grow younger and you experience different things in life.
(15:52):
It changes what makes you happy?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
That's why you have goals. That's why you should have
a vision board. Everybody may and men and women should
have a vision board.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Kids should.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
If they can write and they can dream, they can
write down their dreams. You need to have a vision
board because I don't know how you're being led. I
don't know what your roadmap is. And even though I
totally one thousand percent lean and depend on God, he
still told me write down your goals and check it
for me. I check it every thirty days, and I
(16:25):
check off things overflow, wisdom, you know, those are the
things my favorite scriptures. Now my prayer points are on
this year's vision board. But you have to decide, and
another thing too, and then everybody, y'all come on in
here a good yell or unmuted could another person cannot
(16:46):
be the end all of your happiness. Yes, those of
us who have children, we want them to succeed. And
I'm just speaking for myself. How many times I recently
have told all three of them, I said, you know,
the world's gonna settle, and you all gonna have to
be ready to go.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
You're going to go. This is my dream house.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
This is part of my dream and I know people
have they not say it outwardly for fear of my
wrath or something. I don't know what it is, but
I know people are looking at me like you got
adult children still living at home? Yeah, because I don't
have a revolving door. I don't have a revolving door.
Once they pack up and go, they have to stay gone.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Leave my key behind. And if I need you, I
know how to find y'all. Well, we'll you know, but
I'll be okay. If I have to pay people to
come in and help, I'll be okay. But you have
to go and live this thing. You have to go,
and you have to go. I love whit kids.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I'm happy. We laugh.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
We're the most laughing family you'll ever meet because we
just be I mean, gut laughing, you know, over just
the littlest thing, over memories and things like that. But
you know, at the end of the hour, my kids
are not my end all to happiness. My husbands did
not end up being my end all for happiness. I
had to find my happiness things that I do that
(18:06):
makes me happy and believe.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
It or not.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Being able to know that broachers are back in style
and they're going full force.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I am so happy.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
So I can hardly wait to see what Mother's Day
gifts and Birthday and Christmas gifts.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
So just get me a gift card. Let me go
get my own. I'll be okay. But you know what,
y'all come on in here, because our time is going
by so fast. What are y'all thinking about? You know, happiness?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
And and again tonight's show, it's called happiness. A day
of happiness really, especially the era, the Asian and era
we are in right now.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Go ahead, Trey, you were just I could just see
ready to say something. Go ahead, Well, I.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Think I wanted to piggyback on this when you said,
vision born and when children can write, but maybe even
a little earlier than that. If there's like pictures, you
know that the thing is that they want or to
aspire to be, they can use like a picture vision
board without the words and then lack of the parents
(19:09):
can kind of help navigate that, you know, kind of
keep them on track. So in order for you to
get there here, like if you want to aspire to be,
say a doctor, what do you need to do?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You need to work on your behavior.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
You need to study practice studying in school.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
You know, because to be a doctor you have to
be knowledgeable. So it could be just like a start there.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
The other thing I want to say what happened is
I think it doesn't take a whole.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Lot to make me happy. I enjoy.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
I limit who is around me that's negative. I can't
do the negative energy. That mean I can't do that
too well.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I love going to scenic places of water. Look at that.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
I mean, it's nothing like it I tell you that
makes me happy. You know, maybe catch a nap or
eat some lunch.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Out there and just kind of be still, you know,
and with nothing.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
And like I tell people, it's like you can hear
to win. I know you feel it, but when you're
sellent enough.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
You can hear.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
It's something about it. I can't explain it, but it's
just so serene. That makes me happy.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
When I see the people.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Around me that I really love and care about, when
they're happy, that makes me happy.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
So you know, there are things that I aspire to have.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
You know, it's not like I don't inspire to have
the biggest house, but I would like my house to
have a place where I can entertain if need be.
A bedroom is nice that I can just enjoy that
if I stay there. A big arts and crafts room
where I can just go in there with all my
arts and crafts.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Different tables so if I want to pay, ain't the
day or you know, color tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Each table has something different.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I just want their creativity, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
And I notice lately just being more in tune than myself.
I said, okay, juices are coming back, They're flowing better.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
You know, I'm becoming more of me.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
And you know, Lisha and I think pastor you know,
the things that I talk to you about, and it's
just it's just I think the joy of it.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
That's another thing.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
The joy, not only happiness, but joy. And to know
that I have people that care so much about me.
The fact that I'm employed, the fact that I can
use my talents to help others, use my knowledge to
help others. You know, people who are caregivers, you know,
just give them some insight, encouragement, motivation, help, you know.
(21:51):
Those are the things that make me happy and joys.
Being able to do what I think some of the
things God has purposed me to do. And I'm just
excited to see what it's going to have me do
that I really am.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
So that ain't matched my speed.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
I just wanted to come in on a couple of
things you said, and Pastor, you get ready to go now.
I when I was separated from my last husband, I
and we didn't go to the movies that uh that much.
But I one day I just had dropped the twins
off the school. Donald was at college, and I said,
(22:25):
I want to go to the movies. And there's certain
movies you have to see at the theater. There's just
certain movies of sixty inch TV. Fifty in TV is
not going to do it. You need to go to
that whole have that whole sharround sound, and I'm like,
and I didn't think about God, I'm going by myself,
and it was that was it was a big thing
for me. But the moment I jumped out of the cars,
I'm going to see this movie because it's more important
(22:47):
than what I'm feeling, because I wanted and I could go,
and I grab my popcorn and I got my icy
and I went up up the rolls and stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
So here it is years later. You know, I can't
unless the kids go with me, and one of the
kids go with me.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Don't go past level C. And sitting in the handicap
spot is just as nice. It's nice and nobody around
you and stuff. And as long as I I got
my cup holder, I'm gonna shure you this. You see
me when I'm drinking it, but you see my cup
over there, That's how I go.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I've got a huge Mello Luca bag. I put my
popcorn in.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
That and then I take my you know, my my
icy drink and get it together and I have to
all cried. I just ordered some brand new handles for
my cups and because they got some nice colors out now.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
So that's that big thing for me.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
And I get excited because I was like, oh, oh
w I'm telling myself, dond look they got this guff
they got it. And I know my son's like, oh wow, handles.
Cup handles excite my mom. But yeah, because I'm like
and then somebody said, oh my god, I picked up
my cup and the lady waitress said, oh my god,
I've never seen it.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Shoes.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I need to get one of those for my dad.
I said, Amazon is your best friend. Amazon just put
twenty ounce of Tumblr handles.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
You'll find it. They got double ones too, so you know.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And it's just if people see me, you know, maneuvering
and stuff like this.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
So little things make me happy. I could go to
the movies now by myself. I enjoy going by myself.
The kids get mad at me because you had to
tell you we're going to the movies. I said, yeah,
I think you'd like the movie.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
You know, I know they would be like, you know,
I wanted to be by myself. I want to be
by myself, So that makes me happy, pastor take it away.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I love.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
What makes me happy is cooking for my kids. Oh
I can't tell you that. One of one of the
greatest joys that I experience is on Christmas Day, making pancakes, waffles,
making chicken and waffles, just a full blown out breakfast
(24:52):
for my kids. I could care less about opening presents.
All I just want to do is feed my kids.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Oh wow.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
And that's just it just gives me such an amazing
joy because I have Before I met Gina, I I
just had two boys. Yeah. Uh, when I met Gina,
we had two girls. So now I had two boys,
two girls. So before I knew it, I had two boys,
(25:25):
two girls, four grandkids. They were just like multiplying like bacteria.
But you know, but it's it's it's absolutely an absolute
joy to just watching them laugh, interact with one another.
(25:46):
Then I'm just stuffing food down their throat because I
I it's just something that that I just want them
to be happy and it's and it just because it
gives me the joy I do that. Then another and
I'm gonna use the word that Trey used when to
use the word serene. One of the things that that
(26:08):
Gene and I enjoy doing is we like to go
on cruises. Now why cruises, Well, when you're when you're
seeing the open ocean, when you get to see the
different colors of blues, and you do see wildlife from
the ocean, you know, popping up. We got to see
(26:30):
I heard a dolphins race against the ship. That's a
pretty cool thing. And when we went to Alaska, we
saw whales coming out of breaching, which is pretty pretty
cool as well. And you really get to see God's work.
And that's when you really have to say that wow,
that's the only word that really can come out when
(26:53):
you also are on the ship and you're seeing the
sun set as he says.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Its okay, okay, you enjoy creating.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
So those are those are just moments that that you
really get to see God's work in it. And to me,
that's what it's all about. It reveals that God is
alive and and God is revealing his beauty in his creation.
And and you know, we're we're going to be going
(27:27):
to Europe in May and we're going to be doing uh,
We're going to see Spain for the first time.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
We're going to have paea, which is a Spanish dish
with rice and seafood and all that, and and we
get to enjoy the.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Beauties of other people creating, other people creating the meal
and and you get to enjoy the different cultures and
and this is where we have to kind of step
back and just absorb it because this way you're participating
in it, you are witnessing it, and you get to
(28:07):
really see different cultures that are outside of our culture
here in the United States. So I mean, I can
go on and on, because there's just many different things
that really make me feel joyful. And that's what that's
just part of it. But mostly when you lately, I've
(28:29):
been studying the Word, and as I'm studying the Word,
my wife said something, and to this day I'm starting
to see what she's saying. And what she said is
that the more she reads the Word, the more that
she studies the Word, the more in love the falls
(28:50):
for God. And then I when she said that, I'm like,
completely understand what you mean because I can't get enough.
And the more I learn of Him, the more I'm
just like, I don't care what's happening in the world.
I feel joyful being in the presence of Christ, being
(29:12):
in the presence of my Maker, being in the presence
of learning Him. And that's why I can understand why Moses.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Oh wow, Anastasia, I hear you, We hear you. We've
been there too. Circle around.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Yeah, there's a lot of different things. It's a hope
for me. So you really really can't pinpoint one particular thing.
So you know that's those are some of the things
that that really make me joyful. And and that to
me is what what's so important in our walk what
(29:47):
brings us joy and surrounding with people that that that
love us, that that not always agree with us, but
the ability to have a conversation that becomes a joy
being around them because this is what you know. They're
not putting on a different mask. You know them are
(30:10):
that I mean is a great opportunity to grow and
know the people that you're.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Around and stays. Here's your homework.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I want you, between now and next week, write down
five things when you think of happy and joy for
you personally, even if it's birds chirping, even if it's
the rooster in the backyard that you can never see.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Whatever it is I want you to write down, don't
think much about it.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I just want you to have a piece of paper
and have a journal in front of you and write
down number one, this, number two, this, It doesn't matter
what anybody thinks. I want you to say what makes
me happy? And you're smiling automatically.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
When you're thinking about it. I want you to write.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Down those five things, and then I want you to
close the journal and then present it next Monday. Don't look,
don't open it up until next Monday, and you'll be
sharing it with us.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
If you need a little help in a stasia, you
need a little help relations five twenty two.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
She's not answering and a stage where yet? Way yet?
Come on, that's the challenge. We can see you or not.
Thank you. I think I could do that. Thank you, madam.
Thanks all right, Yes, that's all you have to do.
But I can't look at it anymore.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
But I think I think people sometimes when you think
of happy, it's almost like a reference to something like
you ever had one to say, Oh, you got to
try this restaurant.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
This restaurant is over the tide. You you got to
go there.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
When you get there and you try, so what kind
of thing that makes you happy?
Speaker 3 (31:42):
You're gonna ask your excuse me, just you're gonna ask
your something in the stage, and you have to do
it real fast.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
What makes me happy?
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
I love dogs. I like dogs. I like being around dogs. Okay,
that's number one. That's all about dogs. Okay. What makes
me happy? Wow?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Just five things, and then I need you to close
that that cover, put it away somewhere and we'll pick
it back up on Monday and we'll take it from there.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
That's all I need you to do. Just think about
you ask yourself what makes me happy, not who, not
how much, but what.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Makes me happy? Land on it and just write it
down real quick. Don't think about it long.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
I don't want you to do because then you'll talk
yourself out of it.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Don't think about just boomoom boom and past. I want
to pick itback on what you said. Just being with
the Lord today, I have been asking a question and
I could not get anybody. God told me three people
I could call. None of them were available. None of
them were available, and I'm like, wow, I didn't even
bother to call me back, didn't even bother the call.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
They don't even know what Field did do at that point.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Okay, okay, I we'll get it done. Thank you, thank you,
baby girl. Just do it, Just do it and don't
think nothing about it. Just just in those moments jot
them down, close up the book, and we'll talk about
it Monday. And I was like, Lord, and here all
this weekend, I'm like, I'm trying to get this answer
because all the scriptures and everything lined up scripturally, but
(33:12):
I didn't know what I'm supposed to do with it.
I didn't know what I was supposed to do with it.
So I'm like, Okay, I see it.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I got it. Revelation, I got it.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
I see it, Ezekiel, I see it. And today a
prophet a prophet. It is a lady who prophesizes pop
I've never heard of her. Pops up in my YouTube
and she I got a word for you, and I'm like,
o me and boom. I sent it to my co
host there Boom. I'm like, all I could do is
(33:40):
just I say God, and I teared up. I really did,
thank you, thank you. I knew it was something I
could not put my finger on it. I'm not gonna
go ahead of you. And a little commercial here. Another
fellow popped up in my thing. And let me tell
you and somebody y'all may disagree, and that's okay.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
You still love being wing. You all keep.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Talking about this Zi stuff and and all of a
sudden what those definitions were. Because before there were three
separate words that I knew, I never put them together.
And all of a sudden, now because of all the
you know that what's being taken away, what's being closed out,
people getting fired, all this stuff, then you got something
to say. You're not trying to encourage the people at all.
(34:22):
You just trying to put fear and hatred out there.
And let me tell you guess what Section eight was
not touched. Social Security, medicaid, medicare off the table because
people like us, we're praying behind the scenes. We're not
trying to incite anger and.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Riots and fear. We know what to do. We go
straight to got God.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yeah I'm not on fool stamps, but you know I
appreciate you know. I don't want to pray property property taxes.
I'll do inflation.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
I take it to my daddy, take it to the
Lord and prayer.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
So I put something on Facebook and I said it
you you all trying to incite people and make people
want to write, and you're making people want to kill
themselves because of your little commentary on you know what
you think is all? This is what this is what
they're gonna do this. No, and guess what.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
They tabled social Security.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Medicare, and Medicaid cuts last night at seven, wiped it
off the off the books.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
They ain't talking about it anymore.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
They're not gonna do it. That's the power of prayer.
And I know some may be saying that, well, that's
just for now. Yeah, you're right, it's just for that.
And guess what it gives us a little bit more time.
We've been warning you to save your money. We've been
warning you to get yourself off these welfare roles.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
If you can, We're warning you go get you two
and three jobs. It's gonna be all right. But you
spent your money on the lottery, you went to the casino.
You do this, You get.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Your little advices on the side that you think nobody
knows what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Come on, not cut it out, cut it out. I'm
done with y'all.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
And I'm talking to some people who've been in my
life for a minute, but I've lost all respect for you.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
What you're doing. Pray.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
You say you're a Christian, pray, let me see your
prayer points, let me see you walk it out in prayer,
because you know what, when you have that lifestyle of praying,
when you have that lifestyle of studying God's word, reading
God's word, if you want to put it that way
and you pray.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
You don't look the same, you don't sound the same.
You have to change, you want to change. Come on, now, that's.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
My host and my engineer didn't know I was gonna
come at that, but I have to put that out there.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
You better stop it. You better stop it because all.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
You're doing is you bringing you bringing rockish and rough
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
No blessings in your household.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
God don't bless mess, He don't bless gossipers. He don't
bless insiders. He don't not my God, my Lord and Savior,
my Jesus, my Holy Spirit.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
So cut it out. You have nothing positives to do.
What your mothers used to tell us. If you don't
have nothing positive, state, hush up.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Don't you say a word. We don't need the negativity
out here right now. We watch it too.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Trust me. I don't trust nobody. Let me make that clear.
I trust no man, woman, boy, or girl or a dog.
Cause my dog will leave you right now when she's
fed up, She threw she walk around. Look back at you.
Let not today. I trust nobody.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I only trust God because he had I've tried him,
and I see what he's done for me.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
And I'm not sorry. I what to say. And guess what,
We're still on the air for another whole year. So
let's go snap and biting. Keep your pin. If it's
not gonna edify somebody, if it's not gonna.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Motivate somebody, if it's not gonna influence positively, somebody's.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Like, keep it to yourself, keep you g yourself.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
We don't need that right now. The world's already got
us a little up uptight. We got y'all uptight, and
I'm just watching because I stay in my house. I
ain't got to go nowhere. Thank you, missy.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
I ain't got to go nowhere. I can stay in
my house.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
I'll go out if I want you to go see
my movies about what to co, what I.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Need to do. We've got lives out there that need
to be saved and set free. We've got people just
wondering what to do next.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
We got people cooking their last meal right now as
I speak.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
They can't even depend on nobody.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
That they know because they listen to your conversation and
your gussip, and you look it down on people, scaring
him half the jesty all could take it from me.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
We only got a few more minutes.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Well, I was just gonna say real quickly that in
Galatians five nineteen nineteen through twenty one, what you just
touched on, miss Gray is bought on when you follow
the desires of your sinful nature, your sinful nature. That
(38:48):
we're sinners, right, So Paul just puts out that the
results are very clear. So he already is letting us
know that because of our sinful nature, the results are
very clear. What are those desires? Sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy,
(39:11):
outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, uh dissension, division, envy, drunkenness,
wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell
you again as I have before, that anyone living that
sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
There you go, now, the Bible, the Bible is telling
(39:32):
us very clearly, whether you want to accept it or not,
this is what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
This is an exciting time in the spirit. I'm guilty
of something. Do with some of those things. Okay, in Stasia,
all you have to do when you get sick and
tired of it. Will you get sick and tired of it.
That's the only time we can do this. Will you
get sick of do? Will you, at a desperate point in.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Your life, fall down on your knees and repent first,
just say I'm sorry, and then try to live your life, try.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Not try not to do it again. The Lord's person,
don't you know? Uh, God, I follow your time. I
think I ain't anyone.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
I don't know if that's deliberat lead us not into temptation,
it says, lead us not into temptation, but.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Deliver us from evil. Stay right there. That's your platform,
and that's your platform right now. Deliver me from evil.
Don't tempt me, don't allow the temptation to come.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
You leave money out, and you really think that somebody's
on hard times. You know, you got a co worker
that's on hard times, and everything else is having a
drink here or they're too bad. No, as long as
they don't glury your faculties. If you get so wasted,
you don't even know where you at and you drive it.
You walking in the middle of the street to get it.
Don't just don't be giving to into wine. Don't let
(40:44):
it control you. And that's for anything, whether you smoke cigarettes,
whether you drink sweet tea where you used to.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Be hooked one French fries.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Come on now about ice cream?
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Oh my god, okay, we're very good.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
I don't for me, Anastasia, this is just me. I
don't like anything that will can take that can take
control over my mind.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
If you be a man, it can be a child,
it could be sisu, an associate, a coworker, a boss.
You don't you can't run me, and don't try to
overdo it.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
I told you by that. That time I was at
the why.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
Take a Weightlift weight loss weightlifting for as a as
an extra class, and.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
I went to the wire across the street.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
From school, and uh, they were having a yoga session
and the teacher came over to me and instruct her.
She said, hey, come joining yoga. I said, oh, okay,
I can do that, so you don't. I mean, I
try to get in all the positions and everything. But
then she goes, yes, just let us open your mind
so we could come in. I said, oh no, got up,
took my mat and walked out. And every time since then,
for the rest of the semester, I would see her.
(41:59):
But what about the open heavy with my boyfriend? Oh
okay and decision, okay, you get big down. I don't
know what all that means, but you know what that means.
And for you to ask that question, that's a question
for you. That's a question for you. But we all
have fallen short. I was talking to my daughter. Yes,
we were dinner, we went out to grabbing back to
(42:20):
eat and run some errands, and I was just telling her,
I said, you know, the worst the worst thing that
started my first marriage off was my father had died
in January, no February. I was slated to get married
in May of that year. I just talked to him
that weekend, convincing him to walk me down the aist
and he said, yes, I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
And my daddy dies in my arms two days later.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
So my first husband, he's renting where he's staying at
So I've got three or three bedroom house, so it
would make sense, you know what, we can save that
three months towards you know, whatever. This is my parents' house,
so you know, you come on and move in, so
of course.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
You're gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Well, he's staying in another room because that was my thing.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
And come to find out, he was not all that,
you know, he was like all that just natural adult behavior,
nothing inappropriate. We are not married. I got you.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
That's why I'm sharing this with you. First three months
and we had financially when we married.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
It was just this. It was just off the beat.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
It was just but I stayed married because I'm committed
to the marriage, to the word marriage, you know. But
I thought it was a good idea move in save money.
God's like, well, you didn't ask me right, and we're
both believes, And it didn't make the marriage any better.
It didn't make our finances any better. Because I lean
to my own understanding. And we all have those stories
in the stage.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
We all have them.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
It's just do you have to make up your mind
where you stand. You have to make up your mind
and have a clear conscience and stand on it, stand
on it.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Well, we've all been there, baby girl, We have all
been there. We know. We made it look real nice
and clean and smell good.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
When I broaches look good when I broaches at our accessories.
But trust me, we till my autobiography come out. You're
gonna say this great, Yeah he wouldn't. This little fell
an't even date you. You got my apples and you
want me to hear your pants and you.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Act it up. I burt your pants.
Speaker 3 (44:15):
Yeah, well I broke your records and I burnt your
pants and I need him them.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
So what what you gonna say?
Speaker 4 (44:22):
All that?
Speaker 2 (44:23):
And I'm gonna name names too. That's a true story anyway,
because I love my albums. But you have to make
up your mind and got already in the month.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (44:33):
I mean, the time is out, but you pray about it.
But do your homework first. Do your homework. Do your
homework first, and we'll go from there.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
But don't judge yourself like that because you'll never want
you'll never think you're good enough to come to God.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
And you can't make yourself holy enough.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
You can't clean, you can't bathe with a brillo pad.
You can't, you know, lighten your skin, darken your skin.
You can't do enough. Come to God as you are.
He loves you just as you are. That's our time.
We love you. We're praying for each of every one
of you. Y'all be safe out there.
