Because most of them still live with you know, still
living home with family, But how are they doing?

Anybody concerned or everything is well? I don't think people
are paying attentions, so nobody knows.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
What if they got a safety and they're okay, they
just they're just hearing things but they're not Wow, okay,
well just Lord Jesus.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
I went to CVS earlier today and neighboring police department
pulled up and I'm like, oh, Lord, I sat in
my car, like, okay, do I need to go in?

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Can I go in? Or are they close to the door?
What we're doing? You know? I you know, yeah, I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
But and I'm gonna have Rebel changed my phone number
in there because I don't think my three five two
people are not getting through. I'm getting strange type of
miss calls. So I'll put that in the chat, Rebel.
If you could change it next time it's not tonight,
that's fine, But I just went all right, A, yes,
we need you to check in, check in. Please let

(03:47):
us know who's listening zero zero, let us know what's
what am I doing here? Sorry about that, guys, Yeah, tonight,
it's a check in. As I was, we were getting
ready to you know, get the topics for the show,
you know, for the for the rest of this month,
and you know, the Lord, I just I couldn't even uh,
I couldn't swing it. It's like, no check on them,

(04:09):
ask them how they're doing. I know you're not gonna
air all your business or whatever you can call us.
Be the tray on myself, you know, if it's if something.
You know, what's going on with you? Talking about my
faithful few that check in and listen in uh uh
on a weekly you know, and you really pray for
us and you care about us and all that.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
I just want to hear from y'all. Just just put
your name up there.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
You don't have to say anything, but we just this
is this is check in because it's go ahead.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
No no, no.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
I just wanted to stay too on top of that
because you know, time has changed, and so just being transparent.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
This is not really my favorite time. Hey, good evening?
Are you elder? K? This is not my favorite time.
It gets dark or quick it's was it sad uh
seasonal just disorder or something like that.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
And I haven't seen the effective disorder, so I haven't
been diagnosed with it, but I don't really care for it.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
I like the.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
Sunshine, the longer days, and I know sometimes I get
off culture and I said, well, what is this, it's
it's so sometimes even if outside of whatever what's going
on now in the world, this is something that affects
me and I have to kind of learn how to
move a little differently. And so, you know, holidays coming
with it's okay, that is I mean, they're going to come,

(05:32):
but it's not like, oh I look forward to it.
I'm just overjoyed and excited about it. But there might
be others that might be feeling the same way. And
it's okay, it's all right, it gets cooler. I'm not
really a fan of the cold weather, so it adjusts
my my adjust you know, it affects me a little bit.
And so sometimes if I feel like, you know, I

(05:53):
need to do so, I might buy something just to
make me feel a little better, or go somewhere or
try to get some natural vitamin D doing when it's
a lighter outside. So I just want to kind of
throw that out as a check in as well. So
if anyone is feeling like that, it does happen. If
those some people are off culture, I know several people
like that.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, thank you for sharing that. And and that's real,
that's real.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
And now it's a little more murkier now it's it's
a little bit more cloudy. There's a there's a fog
out here now. And so it's not you know, it's
not something. It's just it's it's just something. That's all
I can say. And we have to make the good
out of this despite what's being told. And again I

(06:38):
said last week, those are it doesn't pertain the folks
that are watching us. I'm sure even though you don't
mention your name and things like that, but you know,
you putting all this hate and this negativity out there,
and it's scaring people. You're trying to increase anxiety and
all that, putting lies out there instead of praying.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
That's what you need to do. Oh, speaking good in
the atmosphere, for those of you who believe in the universe,
speak good, put good words out there in the atmosphere,
instead of trying to get your two seconds of fame.
You're not gonna go anywhere with that.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
You're not gonna be made rich, you're not gonna be
made popular, and no one's gonna count on you. No
one's gonna You're gonna be like the boy who Cried
Wolf because nobody's gonna believe it, and you're gonna be
You can say, oh, I've got an alien right outside
my house and it could be really an alien there
hell janisaink you you know, you know you can do
the hey missy, you know, and and the alien could

(07:33):
be outside your door.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
But nobody's gonna believe you, so stop it. Stop it.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's nothing but lies that you're putting on social media,
and that's not nice. That's not nice, and you better
stop it. That's all I can say. You just need
to stop it. I don't need to know who you are.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
I'm watching what you put on the on the you know,
out there, and it's all lies. I don't know why
y'all made.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Up that one about people storming Walmart and and and
and taking food off the shelves and all that. Yeah,
I don't know how they did that one. They looked
like real people. But you're lying and you need to
stop it. And November first, Walmart did not shut down.
The self checkouts are still fine, they're still there.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
People were full, So cut it out. We don't need
it right now.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
We as Americans forget about the politicians, but forget about
your commissioners, forget about your mayors. Forget about the governors,
forget about all those people. Leave politics out of this.
I'm talking about natural people. You need to be checking
on your neighbors. You need to be checking on people.
People who you think, well, she's fine. When you say
that by the person, check on him. Oh he's all right,

(08:39):
he's got no don't worry about what he got. Check
on him now, because we don't know what people are thinking.
We don't know now what people are thinking.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
I saw so many frowns.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
I saw people bringing back merchandise into the uh uh
into the while I'm there, and I'm like, you know, yeah,
this this is thank you, Biki, this is this is
no time for that now, Okay, no time for that now.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
You need to go ahead. Oh okay, I got them.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
Now.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
You need to be being as positive as you can,
and and and and and and just if you're gonna
put something on foot on social media, but hey, hope
everybody's having a good day. That's all you need to do.
I hope everybody's having a good day. That's that's what
you need to do. You need to cut it out.
You need to cut it out now.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
We need to. Now I'm gonna talk to the religious
leaders out there. If you've got a physical church, a
brick and mortar, it's time for food banks. You now
check it. Now. This is gonna sound a little odd.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
But what the Lord showed me was and told me
to say it was.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Check pastors, pastors of your churches. Check on your members first,
because we can if the members are good, they could
come out and volunteer and help get this food.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Go buy food, whatever the case. Go buy goods and
things like that. And it's time to store it in
the storehouse. You check your doors, make sure you reinforce
the locks, because this now week, it's storehouse time. It
is storehouse time. This is not getting ready for a
tornado or hurricane. This is getting ready for life. And
you need to go to the Bible and read about

(10:13):
Joseph during the days of family. He was able to
sustain a country, a nation for seven years.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
And then the famine came. It was coming.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
It's coming, So you all need everybody, you all as individuals,
going back to the pastors. It's time for storehouse time.
You big churches, little churches, I don't get you little churches.
You need to come together because there's one area downtown
that's got five churches on every block. There's five churches
in a cul de sac, and y'all don't y'all each
maybe had three to five cars there on a Sunday.

(10:44):
Now those days are gone. It's time to come together.
Somebody be responsible for slightly used clothing. We don't even
have time to get it to good will. Y'all go
ahead and set up a shop. If somebody needs diapers.
You got a babe of new boards coming in being
birthed into the church. You need to have your you
need to have stuff for newborn babies. You need to
check your check your congregation first, then get ready. It's yeah,

(11:07):
it's because you know, we just don't know. You know,
we don't know what we don't know. We don't know
this one. We don't know this one. We can't say, well,
you know this. Okay, we're gonna shut down probably in
about three months, and then we're gonna do we don't
know this one. We don't know this one. And of
course pray. Now we'll bring the politicians only into say
pray that they come to their senses and deal with

(11:31):
the shutdown mess. That's all I can say about that.
But I'm not I'm not concerned about that. They're not
on my prayer point list. My people, the people are,
and the people inside the church, if people inside your organization,
that people inside your building, that you work with, your coworkers,
that's who I'm targeting, because they'll never tell you that
they got a problem. Oh they only had soup three

(11:51):
nights in a row.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
They won't tell you that. So you got to go
and you're gonna have to, you.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Know, do a little hard court press, as they say
in basketball, which means are you all right?

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Now? I'm talking to you? Are you okay? Do you
have enough? How are you doing on grocery? How are
you doing to see everybody?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
And I got food stamps now, you know, and I
don't know if it was distributed in I don't know
because I found out that most of the time food
steps are just not distributed on the first of the month.
It's not like Social Security. It's not not SSI, when
you know, they're different days that people get their stamps.
So you you all sitting there putting out that lie.

(12:27):
But all the first and for old Saturday, we're gonna do.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
All a lie, all a lot.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
I think it used to be years ago from what
I remember working.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
I think it used to be like the first of
the month.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
But I think they because everybody was bombarding the stores
and they would run on quickly. I think the idea
was to scatter them out on and I don't know
how they did it, but in certain days if I mistaken,
yeah it is.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
I talked to somebody who knows people that are you know,
get them and stuff like that. These days are up
a stamps and for cash and all that. You better
watch that because there there is eyes. There's a set
of eyes on every corner.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
If we've got a stop sign and we've got something
electronic there that there's eyes in that. We've got five
five g is everywhere, so people are watching and they
can they can do an analysis on your giving and
your spending and all that kind of so, so be
careful about that because you could be looking at jail time.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
I don't even know.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
I'm not saying that's to be for certain, but you
need to be very careful about that.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
I know people used to do that. I know people
used to do that. Cut that out, Cut that out.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
I don't have enough credit, good credit to get the
furniture at the Renais Center so you get the furniture.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
And I'll get the cell phone. Cut that mess out.
That's that's over. That's over. We can't help each other
like that. We can't.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
We just got I gotta make sure you're okay. I
got to make sure you're okay. That's what That's where.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
We're at right now.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
And I know my faithful few listeners y'all are already
on it. Y'all looking at other people. Know, listen, listen
real closely. How they how they say, Oh, I'm okay.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Something something's not quiet.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
And we're not trying to get an your business, but
we have to get in your business because I don't
want you to have the there's there's voices in your
head telling you something else, and we're overriding the voices
in Jesus' name. Every church, it is time for you
to be a storehouse. So you talk to the church
folk next door to you or on the opposite corner
of you, and let's get together. We can't rely on

(14:26):
the food banks. The food bank is it can only
go so far, It can only go so far. Where
do you start? What do you do next? Your spheres
of influence, talk to your doctors, talk to your dentists,
the people who've known you, who've been treating you for years,
and saying, can I set up a box here for
for food and I'll take it to my to my neighborhood,

(14:48):
whatever the case may be. But we're gonna need we're
gonna need pockets of these all around food mainly, but
also non tangibles, your diapers, your bottles, your onesies, you know,
things like thatcause people are not gonna have the but
you're gonna have to be able to give things away, clothing,
whatever it is, slightly used. Now, don't be don't don't.
Don't you want if you don't, you wouldn't buy it.

(15:10):
Don't don't, don't donate it, throw it away, Mass for
prayers for Ms Adams. We may lose it anytime. Oh Mickey,
she's a good woman. Okay, we will lift her up
in prayer. Let me write her name down. You just sits.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
We'll lift her up in prayer most definitely. Thank you, Micky.
We got it. It's here.

Speaker 5 (15:31):
No, no, no, I was just gonna say, as far as, like,
you know, looking at some things that that you know,
faith based organizations can do and set up a community
garden or each each church off each church did like
a garden, taught people how to grow things or you
know they can. That will be one way because right
now vegetables and stuff like that, they're tainted with different

(15:52):
pesticides and stuff that can be very harmful for you.
Even the stuff that they they have in the grocery stores.
You look and this was recalled and that was recalled.
But a community garden at a church would be nice.
Sometimes you can do something on the inside, if it's
a window or now you can google it's different things
that they have out there, little plant lights that you

(16:14):
can maybe grow food or something like that. But those
are some creative and possibly inexpensive ways to be able
to help your parishioners. And I know stuff has to grow,
but still it's a start, you know, finding out what
it is you need to do and then looking on
you know, I follow a lot of stuff on Facebook
or TikTok, and I see you know, mothers, mothers of

(16:37):
multiple children doing videos about budget, you know, feeding their
children on a budget and plating the food and stuff.
So I'm pretty sure if you get enough viewers, it
draws in the income. So people are being very creative
and it's some nice stuff, you know.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
And I saw one mother, I.

Speaker 5 (16:54):
Think she's a mother of two. She plays her kids food.
But then I saw her plating. She would say, getting
ready to serve one hundred homeless people. And she places
it and she goes in her car and she has
them all the food snacked up. Do you want a fruit?
Do you want to snack? What kind of snack you want?
You want chips?

Speaker 4 (17:12):
And she's fed people. So just creative ways that people
can kind of help and give back.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
And so just want to kind of put it out
there if you have some type of means, those are
small things that could be helpful. And folks, folks are
really they're really scared right now with this kind of climate.
And folks weren't said I had to.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
I had to.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Appreciate being able to be here. Thank you, Bicky, And
we appreciate you being here.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Thank you. This is nobody but God. This is nobody
but God.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
And God knows you by He knows the very hair
on your head. I was doing my worship this morning,
studying my word. I kept thanking God and thanking him
that you waited on me, Lord, you waited on me
until I was twenty two. And even though I was asking, saying, hey,
can you help me, you know, help me with my
two tests, you waited on me.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
And he's waiting on y'all.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
And you're right there, if you're already in the number year,
he's waiting on you. And all I could do was
thank him, because you know, despite and all that I've
gone through, all that we've gone through, y'all, all the
bad experiences, the being rejected, to being gossiped on, to
being forgotten, to being lied to, there going through the
emotional and mental and and and and financial abuse and trauma,

(18:28):
all that, he knew. He knew that we were gonna go.
He's watching because we have free will. We have free will.
He's like, if they if they just give.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Me a minute, if they just hold on for just
a minute, you know, change is coming. The sun is
gonna rise tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
We're gonna cry it out today, but I will dry
your tears along the way. And that's why I had
to give him things this morning, because I'm like, you
waited on me.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
You counna just you know not. You waited and you
were there, Jesus, yes you were and you took me.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
And I've been running ever since, and yet I've had problems.
I've slowed down, I delayed some things. I went God,
you know what I'm reading to bother you don't don't
go there. That's the biggest mistake I've ever made. But
I'm thinking that I'm being too much of a problem
to God to take my problems to God. He already
knew that I was gonna have these problems, so he
already has the answer.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
He already has the solution. He already had the solution.
So why can't I not? Why should I not take
it to him?

Speaker 2 (19:26):
So just you gotta trust him, and you know, is
the change gonna be for the good, even though though
the bad, even though the bad, be for the good,
even though it's bad. Yeah, yeah, because look what you've
gone through in the station. I'm sure you could write
a book by now. Look what you've gone through. But
look who you are now, Look who you've became. Now,
look what your skill set is now. And yes, it's

(19:48):
because of back there he have to form and helped TOAI. Okay,
this didn't work. I'm going this way. I'm pivoting this way.
I didn't trust. Okay, thank you Auntie for lying to
be and said, and you're gonna come pick me up?

Speaker 3 (20:01):
And you never did. Thank you. I was received. I
went in my room, I colored and everything else. I
fell asleep. I got up.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
It was dinner time, and I forgot all about you.
Thank you, thank you. And now I'm an auntie. I'm
not gonna leave my niece.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
I'm making promises to my niece and my nephew that
I'm not going to keep. Thank you, Auntie, thank you. Yeah. Yeah,
the change. Change is always good.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Change is always good as long as you're not hurting
yourself and you're not hurting anybody else.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Change is always good. Change is needed. So you got
the pivot today.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
I was thinking because I listened to the Prophetic Word
by Profet Giles, and I'm like, okay, we're looking for
storehouses now, and okay, God, what you want me to do,
because I got to build an office building, you know,
thirty five minutes away.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
What you want me to do? What you want me
to do? Put freezers in there? Whatever, we got to do.
What we're gonna do. You gotta come. You gotta go
a little distance to get to me. But at least
if you if I say this, food that's food. If
I say this's help, there's gift cards. Whatever he's gonna
tell me to do. What are we gonna do?

Speaker 4 (21:02):
Sometimes God will allow things to happen to get you
to change. It's just a matter of getting past the bad. Hey,
Charles is but you.

Speaker 5 (21:14):
Know, sometimes when things seem like they're doom and gloom,
you know you have to try to push through it.
You know, we've we've all gone through something, you know.
I know it looks like, you know, nothing's happened to us,
but we've gone through something. And and trauma is different
to everyone. You know, what affects you doesn't affect me,
and what affects me doesn't affect you. But you have

(21:37):
to trust trust God and to know that he's gonna
push you through it. I heard of somebody say that
if you're going through hell, why stop keep going? It's
like run through the fire. While you're gonna stop in
the middle of the fire, keep going because that eventually
you're gonna come out of it. And so that's something
that that that I want to kind of instill in everyone.
And also find someone that you are able.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
To talk to.

Speaker 5 (22:01):
You know, if you're not feeling your best and I
know everybody does not have the best support system, and
I'm very blessed that I have people that I can
call on and say, hey, you know, just just not
feeling it today, you know, can you just say a
little word for me, or just where do I go
for a scripture or.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
Something like that.

Speaker 5 (22:17):
But if you don't have that, start looking for something.
You know someone that could be that person. And you
know y'all have our numbers. That is a good song, misty.
Uh So if if you know our numbers up here,
just if going through something, if you don't have somebody,
just just give a call and I might not be

(22:38):
able to pick up right then belave a message and
just tell me that you know you saw the show
and can I give you a call back or something
like that. But you know, everyone needs somebody that they
can feel free to talk to.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
You men, my daughter, what I'm looking. I'm sorry, guys,
I am listening and I'm watching. I'm looking at the
comments and that chat thing is back up again. Whatever
this meant is, and I rebuke it right now in
the name of Jesus, because I don't know why you're
coming on in our comments and whoever's putting that there.
But it's automatical, you know, it's not somebody sitting there

(23:11):
doing it.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
But I hadn't seen that in a minute.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
So yeah, but I gotta rebuke it because even if
I'm talking to chet GBT or AI whoever, I rebuke.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
You in the name of Jesus, because you wasted space.
You just waste his space, and that means no sense.
And it's just it reminds me of the people like
when you're on YouTube and if you go to comment
on something somebody says, oh you, hey, put your full name.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
You need to listen to this person. You will never
be disappointed all that kind of nonsense. Don't don't waste
your time with that because that irks me and that
is never a good ending for you. Okay, So don't
do that. Oh I made thirty nine thousand every week
and all that.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
Kind of I report you. I report you because you're lying.
You don't need to do that.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Okay, If you make thirty nine thousand dollars a week,
then you need to be you need to have a
food drive in your front yard.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
Sorry, guys, coming back, what did I gotta rebuke you?
I gotta rebuke you. I don't care. If you man
made a machine made.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
I could care less because my God made everything. He
made heaven, and no machine will out beat that.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
None He made mankind. You cannot make mankind. I don't
care how much you talk about cloning.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
It's nasty, it's not real, it's not it's not gonna
last because look at what man does make.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
And we have problems.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
We make makeup so that you enhance your beauty. It's
not supposed to make you look beautiful. It's supposed to
enhance what you already have. And if you don't wash
it off every night, then you're gonna have bumpy skin
and black heads and all kinds of stuff.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
Who made it?

Speaker 5 (24:45):
Man?

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Look at the vehicles in the airplanes, Oh my god,
something that big off the ground. Wow, that's awesome. But
guess what they fall too, They fall too, They could
be hijacked. Who made them? Man?

Speaker 2 (25:00):
So let's not get caught up in the little stuff.
Let's not get caught up in there and that little stuff.
That's a good song. Amen, Amen, Amen. So guys, like
I said, Misty Charles, all of you guys, an sty Mickey, y'all,
you know, Elder K and Elder janis you don't check
it in. We appreciate that. And and just just if
you need you got my number. If you're in need
of something, you've got to reach out, Just go ahead

(25:21):
and reach out.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
I am not we don't hear. We don't have time.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
I don't have time to judge you. I don't have
time to lecture you either. I don't have time.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
I need everybody full throll list, go lock and load it.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Let's go, because we're gonna need everybody in their right
mind on the front line.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
And it's not about titles. It's not gonna be about titles.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
So God has already given me my to do list
of what I need to do for Thanksgiving for certain folk.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
He already gave it to me. I done. I didn't.
I didn't. I never say, well, why, but God, I
don't think. Don't think. Uh uh yes, sir? Who else?
Who else? Okay? You want me to ask for? Okay?
Got your Lord done?

Speaker 4 (25:58):
Done.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
That's how you get bled.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
You don't get blessed by mankind mentioning your name and
giving you accolades. You it's what you do in the dark,
in the secret place, God will reward you and acknowledge
you openly. I've been through that, guys. It all came
out the fact because I was adopted in that spirit
of rejection, I wanted to be the best. I didn't

(26:21):
want nobody to regret adopting me. So I was when
I was younger, I was on it. I was all
about my books. I adn't care about no boys.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
I did my musicals, I did my speech. I took
with everybody to debate and to these competitions, and that's
what I wanted because I wanted you to see, hey,
I'm okay, I did good. Now.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
All I care is for God to say you can
rest now or I'm proud of you. Doesn't matter what
man says to me. Been there, done that. I've got
the scars to prove it, the war wounds to prove it,
those that you can see. And I'm fighting all the
time on behind the scene. My kids and I had
our Bible study today and I said, yeah, you know,
we talk about the fruits of the spirit and the

(27:03):
gifts of the spirit. That's what the That was their
homework this week. And you know, I said, yeah, I
still got to fight for those two. I still got
to fight to be kind. I'm having in car road rage.
I still got to be kind.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
People try to cut in front of you, you know
you ready to go. Still got to be.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
You know, calm down and self control. I still got
to work on that. You never stopped working on yourself.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
The son to.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Read when you're going through something. Yes, ma'am, Yes, yes, ma'am.
You were a wonderful I could not think of anywhere rejected.
You're so strong and someone to look up to. Well,
mister yeah, but it took a minute to get here,
and I'm holding on to stay here.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
I got to hold my spot.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
It wasn't fun, But I did look back at all
the people that rejected it, the husbands and the relationships,
and even the folks that I thought with.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
My friend, all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Colleagues and people lying on you at the job, students
lying on you, reporting you like you like they were.
One student was teaching at the Christian college up here,
and she thought she was doing something because I wasn't.
I didn't allow her to cheat in class, and I
called her out in front of the class.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
What you're doing? Everybody was supposed to be on the floor.
What what you do? What you're doing? So she went
to the dean to complain about me, and instead she
was met with him, uh opening up folders of her
papers for the last year where she played your rise
her turn papers. He didn't get it. She didn't get
a chance of mentioning my name.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
And he said, oh, and by the way, you can't
say nothing about miss Gray to me.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
You're on you're on suspension for a year, and you
got to.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Write us a letter notarized as to why we should
allow you to come back to finish.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Let's go, let's go. Let me make sure I got it.
I'm learning.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
No, no, no, no, no, you you're fine. It just
stuff is coming to.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
Me, Thank you, Jesus is coming.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
Yeah, it is. So I'm grab a hold of it
and say it.

Speaker 5 (28:58):
So be careful what you put out in the atmosphere.
Be careful what you put out in the atmosphere, especially
against someone, because it's going to come back at you.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
It's going to come back at you.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
And it's odd because you know, I'm noticing, and I
always would hear what goes around comes around and stuff
like that, but more like the reaping and the sewing.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
And I'm listening, you know, because I'm being groomed don't
put that out. Don't put that in the atmosphere. You
don't want that to come back.

Speaker 5 (29:29):
And so I've really been doing very well with that,
but I have seen it so many times where people
are putting their mouth on something or someone and.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
It comes back to we want to hear please tell.

Speaker 5 (29:48):
I mean this is it's like, you know, people can
be so nasty and so judgmental of other people when
they got stuff going on and you're thinking something, you know,
somebody can be sick or this person you don't know,
but then next thing you know you're sick.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
Be careful of who you put.

Speaker 5 (30:06):
Your mouth on and the thoughts that you have against people,
because I've seen it too many times.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
It's not what goes around is what you're reaping and sowing.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
Do not do that, you know, especially like if oh,
the day is gonna be a bad day, but if
you start out saying that, well, guess what.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
It's gonna be, it's gonna be a bad day.

Speaker 5 (30:25):
So out the atmosphere because it's it's so much stuff
right now that if you put it out, it's more
than likely it's gonna come back. Because people are going
through things that are going through stuff health wise, spiritually, financially, emotionally, mentally,
all of that stuff. You know, I think I said financially,

(30:47):
but you have to really watch that. And I've seen
it come back and you keep it. Don't put that
out there and they do it and wham, here it
is now they're afflicted with something that they were questioning
on somebody else.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
So that's what I want.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
I want to also be careful when you say, oh,
go ahead, baby, I'm sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
I want to look.

Speaker 6 (31:08):
That's what I mean, y'all see my dog.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
That's all. I just want you.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
The same thing.

Speaker 6 (31:15):
But I just want to trail back on what Miss
Trey said. I had to spot one of my home
boys by speaking something negatively for himself.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
And I'm like, I rebeat that.

Speaker 6 (31:25):
Don't do that because I learned from speaking negatively about
my life things will happen to me. So it's definitely true.
Refer to it as also what you speak over yourself
as well. Don't let the negative thoughts come out of
your mouth at all. Let it stay there because it's
not pretty.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
And even when you say, oh, you make me sick,
or this person make me sick, keep saying that because
the atmosphere said, oh, you want to be sick now.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
Proverbs eighteen twenty one.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
You know, and the man's bell let, she'll be satisfied
with the fruit of his mouth, and and and with
the increase of his lips shall he be felled. Death
and life are in the power of the tongue, and
they that love it.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Shall eat the fruit thereof confirmation. Okay.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Pastors said that appreciate yesterday. Amen, Amen Broth. This time
of the year gets harder for me, and it causes
emotions to be what there what there aren't at times?

Speaker 3 (32:19):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (32:20):
And Charles, what we have to do because you repeated
that a lot. I know that that that keeps trying
to grab you. I want you to get in touch
with those feelings real quick. And what does it do?
It seems like it stops you. It stops you in
your track emotionally, if it creates this wall, it creates
this ah, or it creates a tear, or it creates pain.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
Waited you finished that? He said harder for some. I
don't think he was referring to himself for some.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
And they called, okay, okay, well in general there are
in general if this is if you can relate to
what Charles just mentioned. Need you to stop for a minute,
step outside yourself and take a look at that. What
is it about this year, about this time of the month,
what about November? What is like Trey mentioned, why is
it hard for her? Why is it hard for you?

(33:09):
What is hard? And then while you're identifying those things,
you need to come up with solutions. What can I
do about this? Because I need you need to get
to a point where you're tired of repeating yourself because
it has more power over you than you have over yourself.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Trust me, I know. Give me a call.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
You see there's my number there, Give me a call.
We could talk this through it more personal and privately,
but we've got remedies for that. But you're gonna have
to step outside you and do you want to change? Sometimes, y'all,
sometimes folks enjoy negative stuff.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
They enjoy the pain, They enjoy this heart.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
You know, we've got disorders in our diagnostics that pertain
to that. People who want to be sick, they enjoy
being to make their child sick. Not me, but I
see the time I talk to people to deal with Yeah,
some people let the bad things overwhelm them and they're
making bad choice, yes, Charles, And there we go with choice,
there we go with free will. That's why I can

(34:04):
walk away from some who keeps keeps this, this, that treadmill,
that running wheel all the time, and they're not willing
to get off.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
They don't want help to get off. They don't want
to change.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
And I can no longer exhaust myself with that. I
used to have clients because they were, you know, because
of their diagnosis. They think it was funny, and they
allow the voices to get to them. They'll they'll stop
taking their meds. They'll end up on our impatient unit.
And then they want to tell me the same thing
they've been telling me. So, you know, I've been your
case manager for three years and this time every year,

(34:37):
you do this. So this is what we're gonna do.
We'll put your meds back and put your back on
your meds. We're gonna discharge you back to the facility
and we're gonna call it a day, but don't come
back next month. Well, you don't understand, no, I know,
I don't understand what you're thinking and how you're allowing
the voices to control your life. Voices don't control my life.

(34:57):
So let's let's get that. Let's get this.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
That understand it. You don't want to be well, you
don't want to do better, and guess what that's you.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
I will work with the clients that want to get better.
They can't help themselves because it's in the DNA. They
can't help themselves because they've learned it. They can't help
themselves because nobody will hear them out. I'll work with them,
just like I did the students at the college public
college back home.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
This group of kids.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
I had twenty eight students every semester taking this one
mandatory class. And this one time, these students came in
and they were just it was a girl and two boys,
and they would just come in and talking and they
sit in the corner in the back. Everybody else sat
up front. And I'm taking role. I'm doing role calling
it back there talking. So I said, okay, and the
Holy Spirit gave me discernment on this how to deal

(35:45):
with this.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
I said, okay, I need to ask you a question.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
How many of you all are here are going to
only attending college because you have to stay on your
parents' insurance.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Raise your hand. So those four in the back. They
raised their hand.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
The three in the back and raised their head, and
a couple other students did you. I said, okay, how
many of you all are really want your degree? You
really want to learn about statistics and and and and life,
you know, and how to do life and things like that.
You really want to learn. You really love your major.
You really want to do that as always, just like
I like clockwork. Everybody in the front raised their hand.

(36:19):
The three in the back.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
They were back there talking, so I didn't care. I didn't.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
I said, okay, this is what I'm gonna do. This
is my email address. I don't think we had cell phones.
Then this is my beeper. Get in touch with me.
Don't ever leave my present. And I talked to I said,
and you you you four on, I mean you you
two on the back, come up a little bit.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
I'm gonna give you all of you all. I'm gonna
give you everything on me. I can.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
You will.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
You won't fail this class if you do exactly what
I tell you to do. I'm gonna give you my best.
You three on your own, set it, set it, because
you're not coming in my class. Disrespected me? Uh uh
said no, you have to be here because you got
to steal your parents insurance. So you don't care about
nothing else. You just care about each other. They stop

(37:04):
talking because everybody's turned around looking at them, talking talking
about these three right here. All right, let's get busy,
let's get to work. And also, I don't include if
y'all got to do group projects, don't include them, don't
include them. Say it so I have a history of
you don't want help.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
That's okay, you don't want God, Jesus, you're sure, and
the Holy Spirit. I'm good because everybody has what.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Free will You make up your mind what you want,
those who want him, those who are trying, those who
are going to do everything for God.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
I live and for God I die.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
I'll work with you, I'll do whatever I can, I'll
pray for you, I'll do whatever I can.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
But there's no more time, you know. And God is
so timely.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
God is so timely to have me to go ahead
and just really retire from everything.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Well, I don't have to clock in with anybody.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Sad that they could have said that they could afford
to go to school, but not even want to learn.
But there are others wanted to learn. But can't go
to go to school. You're right, and then you make it.
Then you look out now. Back in the day, right
when President Obama was president, he offered a lot of
free educational stuff. And I used to tell people, Hey,

(38:13):
if you want to go out there and they're free
workshop certification courses, they're free, look them up again. Because
people need bodies. People, even it's on zoom, people need,
you know, people to participate. Because some people, some organizations
are getting grants to provide educational things for free. So
google that. AI will be very friendly. It'll tell you

(38:33):
where you got where you can go if you want
a class on this, or you want a course on this,
or go to YouTube.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
We find free stuff. Just join them. All you do
is join them. Don't pay for the membership. Just join them.
Be a be a part of the audience. It's out there,
so go for it. Go for okay.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Yeah, and their parents were paying for them to go
to school. They were getting all the pail grant stuff,
you know, and stuff like that. But it's okay, I
got you, I got you, I got you, Amen and amen.
Any other questions is we got a little bit of time,
any questions or comments, talk to me talk to us,
not me us.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
I ain't begging. We'll be off, be off to the
de show.

Speaker 5 (39:16):
We're just saying, just just watch AI two stuff. AI stuff,
you know generate, especially if you're on Facebook and see
these bizarre things, and you know, you have to like,
is that for real?

Speaker 4 (39:28):
You know, is that true?

Speaker 5 (39:30):
So be careful of that too, because there's some some
spirits out there that are trying to destroy you know,
your thoughts and put one group against another group. And
so it's a lot out there. You just have to
you just have to pray about it and just be
be mindful.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
And sometimes, you know, I was just thinking about it,
people recognizing their own biases, you know, you know, Lisha,
We we worked in this field before. Who worked homeless,
We work themess of violence.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
We worked a whole lot of things, and people might
look at you know, what a typical homeless person looks like.

Speaker 4 (40:09):
You know, so I was thinking of something. Draw homelessness,
just people just take out when your buy a draw homelessness.
What does that look like?

Speaker 5 (40:17):
You know, what does it look like? Who does it
look like to you? What is someone who's receiving benefits?
What does that look like to you?

Speaker 3 (40:25):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (40:25):
And then you say, then you can recognize your own biases.

Speaker 5 (40:28):
Because typically when when you're thinking of homeless, people don't
think of families.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
They don't think of homeless family. They don't think a
hungry family.

Speaker 5 (40:35):
You know, they want to quick go quick to the
we are making blankets, Oh to help people.

Speaker 4 (40:40):
That's dreaming.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
I saw what you said. You started hope with members.
Thank you. I have to call to thank you Jesus.
That's what I'm talking about. We got to take care
of Yeah, go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 5 (40:53):
Sorry, just just kind of recognizing your own biases. And
I think sometimes we let our thoughts getting away. But
I think and in one group is a certain way
because that's what we see or that's what we hear
people talk about, especially if you're not exposed to that
particular group.

Speaker 4 (41:08):
So if you're not used to working with people.

Speaker 5 (41:09):
That are homeless, you would just think one person or
that you see hanging on a corner and begging, but
you don't know what he or she has at home
waiting for them to bring something back to feed them.
I have been thinking about how it's going to help
someone this year.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
I have been the lunch poulties out.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Okay, good, yeah, you can do what my daughter did
and I did one year. At one time we were
giving the lord tell us to give we oh no,
it was a police station that was doing the shredding.
And we went, my son and I that went back
to the store and we just got lunchables, you know,
and and a little drink and I mean bottles of

(41:47):
water in case of little waters and stuff like that.
Something that didn't cost a whole lot.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
But at least that the intent was there, you know.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
And I kept my word and we went back to
them and they're like, they're like, oh my god. I said,
it's lunchables, but it's it's at least it's a slacking
to you.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
You know, y'all leave it twelve. Okay, mommy, okay, you
leave it.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Twelve, and then you know you could get you know,
go on your way there, just in case y'all weren't
going to lunch afterwards or whatever. So lunchables was real good.
You've got your your crackers, your protein, and you got
a little sometimes you have the cookie in there or whatever,
but just get the waters and go. I was gonna
ask what you all were gonna do this year, So
you're already doing your blankets. I know that you all
been working for the crew's been working on that, so

(42:28):
let me let me know how that's going and all
that good stuff. So you know, you don't have to
wait till we come back on you know, next Monday.
You've got my number, you got Trade's number. You can
talk to us if you need any help. If y'all
need yarn, you need, you know, y'all need yarn, crochet, needles,
whatever you need, let us know, let us know.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
That's what I'm talking about. Just let us know. All
I need you to do is pray for us. That's all.
You don't do nothing. You don't have to thank us.
We don't have to mention it again.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
What we do in secret, God will rewards, yeah, like
his awards better because it's.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
Really what you need. Okay.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
So in the stage, you're gonna pass out some lunch pouches,
Misty and the crew gonna be making blankets. Charles, you're
gonna be a part of that, making the blanket like
you did for me.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
I'm not putting you on the spot, Charles, just asking
