It's gonna be holy goes filled and all that good stuff.
And don't be surprised if you have to deliver an
impromptu sermon, you know, while we're waiting to taxi on
the runway. So don't be surprised, because God is up
to some things. I'm telling you, He is up to

(05:23):
some things, and you have to be ready in and
out of season, period, period, period, and little sidebar here,
stop asking God why, Take why? When it comes to faith, journey, faith,
walk in time, faith, walk in time, walk journey. Take
why out of the equation, out of the conversation, and

(05:46):
we'll talk about that another time. But listen, let's let'sten.
This makes sure you just do that because you have
to be ready in and out of season, and you
don't know which way he's going. He'll tell you to
text somebody or to call somebody, to speak to somebody,
and you're thinking it's because of this, but all along,
God's got a whole different landscape behind that thing, and

(06:06):
you'll net sometimes we'll find out and sometimes we won't.
Where's our audience, where's our audience? Where they at? Where
they at? I know y'all out there, So so tap,
tap in, put your initials in, whatever you have to do,
let's go. Let's go, because this is for y'all. Okay,
this is for y'all what we're gonna start doing in
my co host this is news to my whole co

(06:28):
host and this is God. Y'all can't blame me. This
is God. But if we need to, if you have
some shout outs that you want to give to people
that have just made a difference, and you want to
give them a shout out, like from an instance for
me this, you know, I just want to shout out
the a Popka staff, eyeglass staff at Walmart. They've got
my heart. They know I get the best treatment, I

(06:51):
get the courtesy. I could just be I'm not even
going to see them, but I'll pass by and wait, hey,

fitting good, you know, and believe it or not, they've
got some great frames. They've got some great frames, and
so don't discount them at all, and some of your
insurances will take it. So you got to ask. You

(07:14):

Len's holders cases, eyeglass cases too, very unique ones. I
didn't bring them on tonight, but hello, missy. Missy's like, hey, Nicky, yeah, okay,

conclude a draw conclusion to Limb Loss and Limb Difference
Awareness Month. I have yet to hear back from Governor
DeSantis on my request UH to UH issue with a

(07:55):
proclamation for the State of Florida to recognize April excuse
me as Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month. Excuse me, guys,
And so I know it's coming. It's gonna keep him up.
It's gonna keep him up at night. You don't. I
told him you don't have to land on it in
this month. That's fine. I just need you to do it.
We know when to tune in. This thing is like,

(08:18):
we know when to do it. Amen. I'm gonna give
another couple of shout outs to Kevin Gray, no relation.
He's a gentleman in Canada that has started his podcast
on limb lass and limb Difference, and uh my interview
with him. I think I mentioned it briefly to you
all months back. But my interview is up and it's
on a new web thing called pod Bean pod Bean.

(08:42):
So you look up Kevin Gray, limbloss connection dot pod
Bean pod Bean, and then you scroll down and look
for my name and it's Chaplain Gray interview with Chaplain Gray.
So I want you all to check that out. It's
all radio. You don't see me, but you already know
what I look like, so you don't have to see me.
But you know my boys sounded like too, and it
was very interesting because it was very I love it,

(09:04):
and it was very structured and everything, and it landed
on it answered some questions too. So I'm want to
give a shout out to Kevin Bobo's the number ones
to missing missed the sounds good, Amen, Kevin Bobos, who
is UH a professor but also UH. He has the

(09:25):
advisory council for Kaiser and they're in the occupational therapy
program and department, and I'm on the advisory board and
he was so kind. I missed the meeting last week
and and we only meet like twice a year, but
it's very interesting to see they're on the cutting edge
of education and really care for their students. And he called.
I asked him, can you just give me a call

(09:46):
today real quick? And he did and went over some
things and he's like, you know, hey, you know miss great,
don't worry about it. We got you. And so I've
actually from there. A couple of the teachers are on
the advisory or attend our meetings too, and h some
of them have asked me to speak to their OT
students for being, you know, both a professional side and

(10:06):
the patient side. So that's been fun and I did
that a couple of classrooms last year. So Kevin B,
I'm just giving you a shout out and everything else.
He don't know it yet, but I'll send this to
it so you can hear that. But I want to
say thank you to that and Parfection. There is a
dog training program more on that is not for me,
but it's for you know who. And we've gone out

(10:27):
there with some dogs. She behaved us up, but she,
you know, the male dogs were like kind of like, oh,
look at who is this and She's like, don't even
get it twisted. I'm not interested and she they thank
you Jesus for that. But anyway, they're just very kind
people and very organized. So as I've said before, I
want to tell the Lord. I thought we were going
to go another way, but God said no, do this.

(10:49):
It's holiday time. It's Mother's Day coming up, Father's Day
coming up, Christmas is coming up, and I know people
are like, Okay, why do I get somebody? You know,
what do I get them? I don't know what to
get instead of getting somebody the same old thing again,
especially if they have arthritis or they're having any orthopedic
type situations, what would you get somebody somebody who has

(11:12):
suffered a limb looss ephn. And I've got some things
I'm gonna share with you, So y'all just hang on,
just hang on just a minute, because it's really cute
and everything. All right, this is my little facial wand
thing and as you could tell, it fits in my hand.
And if you go on Amazon any other place, Target's
got some nice ones, nice little kit that it comes

(11:33):
in and everything. But it helps me versus me having
a rag and you know, not being able to control
a washcloth. This is very good. I could I squirt
my little facial stuff on it and do what I
have to do, and it does this little battery thing,
and I can rent off and everything, and I can
put it in a cup and I can get to
it and clean it very effectively. So if you got that,

(11:53):
loved one, I'm not going to say anybody aging. We
don't know when people are. It doesn't matter age now anymore.
People have authoritic hands. They have they have inability to
hold things and stuff like that. There are things that
you could get for them as a Christmas gift or
as a gift or just as I'm just thinking about you,
I saw this or I heard this on this fabulous

(12:15):
dynamic podcast on different things for people who you know
don't have the strength in their hand anymore, and things
like that. So bear with me here we go. Of course,
having a shoehorn is very important because I don't you know,
I don't have the assistance, but I have my shoehorn.
And I want to say a way to saying, I

(12:36):
want you all to really try your best to go
to a hurricane preparedness awareness outreach session, any kind of
health and safety stuff going on in your community. I
need you all to get out and get about town.
Here to see what they have. I got this for
free as it's on the table. You know it's on

(12:57):
the table, just take it for free. And this is
at the Hurrie Cape parents plays a shoe orne. You know, Okay. Anyway,
I said, I'm gonna keep going here. This is one
of my biggest ones here. Also at the at the
Hurricane or the Explore for some kind, they always got
free stuff. It's the free stuff and they'll get some

(13:18):
of them and give you bags and stuff. But this
is like a pressure ball. This is this is but
it's a basketball. It's so cute. It's so cute. And
I got a cuter one. Oh this is gonna be cute.
Y'all gonna want this one. Look at that the construction had.
When it's a pressure ball, it's a fresher ball. Okay,
McDonald they got a McDonald's cup out. There's another one

(13:39):
I want to show you. Oh oh, here's a well
it's still a cap, but you know, we're Orange County,
so we got a cap, you know. And also for
folks who have like a pastor, who have congregants and
they want to get and they want to get them
a little something, you know, for Christmas, of recognizing for

(14:02):
the birthday. You go to these events and you collect
these things. Okay, but these are something that you know,
I could use. I have one by my chair. I
have one in the car so if I'm sitting and
waiting and I'm just like just wanting to do something,
and then there are times I just do this just
to be you know, take my mind off of things. Okay,
so those are real. I don't know when mine. I
had one that was a house. But anyway, all right,

(14:25):
that's the team. Also, at these type of venues, they
give you these little things. Here the little cover thing. Now,
I normally don't use it because I use I will
show you the handles that I use, so I always
pour my water in a cup. But there may be
people who don't want to do that, and they Now
other people put other things in here too, you know,
to be the carry. But I'm saying, if you've got

(14:49):
that loved one and you want to get them some
water or whatever, you know, give them a couple of
these and you'll get these at these free events. Okay yo,
Let's see. Oh, here's the house, thank you, here's the house.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Cute.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
See you get them all and I can exercise my
hand with it, and it's really cute. And you can't
take them for me because I'll hide you over it.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Let's see another little thing here. I like to go
to bed bathroom, not bid bathroom beyond a bed and
body works. Good ideas, Thank you Bed and body Works.
This is a little hand sanitizer holder. But I like
the uniqueness because it's a boombox literally and there's the

(15:33):
frushraenor in there. See and you can we can renew this,
we can do it ourselves. And they're like two ninety nine.
So when you go into bed and body go look
on the little the bulls and that's where you'll find
these little things. I've got a French fry one and
from one of my nurses. One time I got there
was one with a nurse, you know, the cavity of
a nurse and stuff, so I got that for her.

(15:55):
She's like, oh my god, I've never seen this before.
So I'm just trying. I guess God wants you all
to just do something different this year. Here's the popcord one.
There's a pop one. Yeah, I see, yeah, just I mean,
you know, and that's an embedded body. It's there, and
you could get that much less expensive. Okay, now this

(16:15):
is a big one here, so I'm hoping that I
can get them all. Going back to that loved one
or coworker that is in the office and he's trying,
you know, she's trying to get coffee, but she cannot
because she can't hold the cup and pour the things.
You know. So most of the time they have their
own cups and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
But here I take these.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
I have different colors. I'll show you different sizes. That's
a twenty ounce, that's for a twenty ounce cup. This
is for thirty two or sixty four ounce thirty two
pretty much. I like the double no thiss okay, because
I you see, that's how I hold it. And when
I go to the movies by myself, I have an
over large bag, my mellow looka bag. I put my

(16:56):
popcorn in there, and I go to get my little
icy and I have my cup and I sit it
in here. Usually they have a bigger cup, but I
sit it in there. I put my my icy drink
in there.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Sorry for that.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Just want to show you some different kinds. I've got
a gray one for large cups. Now, this is a
funny thing. I have to I keep most of them
in the car because I got things here and I
got special I have cups that already have their handles
on it here in the house. And then when I'm
when my daughter's driving and I have to transfer to
her car, I just have a little bag with different

(17:32):
cup holder sizes in it and my mask. So all
I have to do is grab the bag out of
my brow and put that in her car. I'm sorry
about that. That's probably her coming home now anyway, But
I just wanted God wanted me to really show you all.
It's some different things that's not going to insult anybody
where it could help them because I always people look
at it and they're like, oh my god, I've never

(17:53):
seen that before. Amazon, Amazon, you know, adaptive equipment, tumble
her Hole Amazon. Okay, So if you're on there, you know,
and you're getting ready to rack up gifts and stuff
like that, and I got them in all colors, Chusty,
I've got them all because I never know what I'm
wearing that name, so I have to be prepared. Okay. Now,

(18:16):
I don't know how people, if anybody's into exfoliating, but
getting the gray one the charcoal is very neat and
it does exfoliate. And if somebody has the hands to
do this, you can use one of these or get
this for them. They're in different colors, but I prefer
the charcoal because, you know, even though seven years ago
was in the hospital, still I'm just you know, feeling

(18:39):
like I've got you know, dead skin and it's coming
off and stuff. So I used the charcoal for that.
So just again, these are just little ideas. I'm not
telling you what to do, but if you want to
do something different for your loved one and show them
that you love them, and I don't think it's going
to insult them too much. Somebody bought this for me
when I came home, which is a backscratcher, and you're

(19:01):
seeing them they're on a little thing by themselves, and
you really, okay, not your hair, but you really could
get back there and scratch. And then I found one
that was different, even more different. It's the one with
the ruler.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
I think a massage or something exactly, and you could
do your feet. If you have the massage, you get
the kinks out. It's there. So this is different things
that you know, for the folks that are having lost
in their hands or their finger fingers are not straight
enough or anything. These are little things and you could
sit in as sits in your car holder, your cup

(19:38):
holder and everything else, like when they want to go
through the drive through and get something to drink and people.
It was so funny. I went today through the drive
through and I had the gray one out the window
and I was just doing like this and she said, oh,
and she put it right in there for me. I said,
got it, and I put it in my cup holder
just like that.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
You know.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
So we want to try to as we're aging or
if things are happening as health issues and stuff and
our body is changing, the main thing we're fighting to
get back to is some normalcy. That's why we do
have new normals, and you have once you accept that,
your life will be a little bit clearer and a
little bit cleaner because you do. I need to look

(20:18):
at some of those family members. Thank you. I knew it.
God knew it because you always sit there and say
what can I do? But you see them struggling with
that comp and you don't dare go and try to
help them unless they ask for help. So what you
could do is say, hey, you know, Auntie, I was
seeing I was watching you know again, always use me
as an us as an excuse, use me as an excuse.

(20:38):
I was watching my favorite podcast and one of the
hosts is an amputee, and she shows us some of
the things that she used. And you could do that. Now.
If you're gonna buy somebody something really cute like this,
this is a key chain, Okay, you gotta make sure
or if you buy something you know relate similar, you

(20:59):
want to make sure that that handle is large enough
so that they can maneuver the class of it. Okay,
so always make sure there's nothing tiny. We cannot do
stuff with tiny stuff. If you got hand issues, it's hard.
But if I can get on this, I can use
this my other arm to do the same thing and
pull that class down and put make this active. Okay,

(21:22):
So always, you know, just think about that. When you
go to the healthfarees and the hurricane exposed, they give
you a little cute things. These are band aids in here.
It's cute. I use it because when I'm traveling, I
just what throw it in my grip or I put
it in the glove compartment on the console of my
car because I may need a band aid. You don't

(21:43):
carry around a box. You don't do it. So you know,
hits something different. Get a nice little keychain, little pouch
and put bad DAIDs in it for the person. That's
a gift and it's not insulting to anybody. Now this
is going to get a little personal to hold your
hats there. Now, this this little baby here is for
me to help me clean myself. And that's all I'm

(22:05):
gonna say. And you put your tissue at the end,
or you put your wet white's that's for feminine use
and you clean yourself. You don't have to worry about
staining in yourself and things like that. This is a
long wand and also they put a nail clip nail
clippers in it as for free. They don't advertise it,

(22:25):
but you or whatever, and you wonder what is this?
And it's a nail clipper and it's convenient. It lays
very flat and it does the job. So again, where where?

Speaker 4 (22:34):
Now?

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Where did I get this wrong? Amazon? Amazon? Okay? So
on another cute little gift I think is these coasters
car coasters. Nobody thinks about that I did, But anyway,
I gave some special folks those one time. But it's
so cute and it's so different because people do drink

(22:56):
in their car, but they forget to put a paper
towel or napping down because that cup whatever you've got sweats,
it's sweats. And then you look down at you and
it's grind me down in there. You don't want that.
I put a paper towel down, I put a coaster down,
and I put a coaster on a paper towel on
top of it, or napped it on top of this,
and then I'm gone. All I have to do is

(23:17):
just you know, wipe it off and I'm gone, I'm good.
And some of them are faith based and stuff like that,
so they're really cute. Anybody. Oh last, but not least. Now,
this is gonna take me a minute. Hey, that's a second.
And you said that is go ahead. Oh amen, thank you,
thank you. Everybody, have any questions. It's gonna take me
a minute to get this last advice.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Here those don't think about it, you know, great ideas, right, yeah, yeah,
so another thing.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Whatever. They're all kinds of colors, all kinds of colors.
Everybody can anybody. Everybody should have one of these, especially
if you got stuff on the top of that closet
in that I was it on that top shelf, you know.
And it's not insulting anybody. Thank you for you picked up.
It's not insulting anybody. And here you'll take this for me,
and you take that there, move this and that, tack

(24:11):
that and I just now, I think I'm not sure
that most of you all have seen this or not.
I think I showed this a few years ago when
we first started, when it was this month, but I
wanted to just show you my cosmetic hand and it's
got a clicker inside, and this is a sock for
it technically, okay, And you see that metal piece at

(24:32):
the end. I roll this up on my arm and
I stick it in and then it clicks, and then
there's a little gadget on the outside that you can't
see that when I need to take it off, all
I need to do is press it and just twist
it and it's off. This is what I call my
cosmetic arm that you see in there. See the hole there,
because they listened when they were doing the initial assessment

(24:55):
and they heard that I. You know, I was an actor,
and you know, of course you don't want your mechanic
arm all the time. I never knew about this, but
in some cases, unfortunately, people only have a choice because
of what their insurance could pay for. So sometimes you'll
see somebody with this and it doesn't move. But I'm
fortunate the fingers bend, so if I needed the carry

(25:15):
a bag with it or whatever, I can do that now.
And I'm getting a new one because I go in
and get tune ups. I call it for all my pieces.
I'm not using the toe fillers as much. I just
stuffed my regular shoe with us socks or whatever. But
this is my assher, this is my functioning arm, and

(25:37):
it's got sensors in there. Now, this is heavy, and
only when I really need to wear it, because it
takes a while to put it on. I've got a
bag that I put on my arm and then I
go in and it's a string at the end, and
I bring it out in the little hole there. The
glove is covering it, but I bring it out to
make the bag, make the arm come up, pulling the

(26:00):
bag out. Uh, I don't have time for that. Most
of the time. I want to get in the car,
go to the bak, go get me some eat, and
come back home. That's what I wanted to do. I
don't and I'll say, oh, I have to get dressed.
And when I say I have to get dressed, that
means I've got to load up and bring those It's
difficult for me to drive with them. But I do
what I have to do. And you know, I'm like

(26:21):
this most of the time. I do have a hand,
but I didn't bring that tonight. Any questions from anybody,
let me start there and then we're going to segue
into another piece here. Any questions, I just don't want you.
I think God just don't want you to to freak
out and be so emotional with gift giving. If somebody,
if somebody needs a coworker needs in it, y'all you
exchange and you got their name. You want to make

(26:42):
things look nice for their Mine beloved co host and
his wife got this for me as a and I
just happened to have to have. No, they got to
handle two. I think you got to handle two.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Uh well that that's that's that's that's miss that's pastor
Gina's department.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
So yes, just give me m She.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
Just tells me this is what I got.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
I'm like, great, Oh, sir, I thought you chose the color. Okay,
that's I'm just joking. But it's got a little saying
on it and it says not a day over fabulous,
not a day over familious. So that was one of
my it's great. And it also came with it was
a bottle of a bar of soap and there was

(27:25):
a candle and the smell was chess like, oh my God,
just take me away, cag and I take me away,
and it was it's just Oh I love it. I
could sit it. I just sit it out and it
just takes over. So candles, you know, things matching stuff.
Though you know you're gonna get candles, you know, get
to get something else that will go with the candles,
maybe a bath bomb or some bubbles, you know, just

(27:48):
just just basic things. And right now, all the stores
forever have these ideas, and especially Burlington, you could just
go and say, oh, there's for the men. They got
the roll, they got the alone, they got the nail clipper,
all in one box, all in one box. But tonight
I missed the name. Thank you for you welcome if

(28:11):
they god, because I'm not that bright. It's helpful to
know these or appreciate you sharing this. And it's real.
This is where I live. This is real time stuff,
and that's what we do. We let you know what's
real and what's available out there. And most of the time,
somebody who having who's experiencing deterioration of some sort, they're
not talking about it. They don't want to talk about it,

(28:34):
they're embarrassed about it. They don't know what they're gonna
get for. And then you get them a pair of
socks that they can't put on or they can't tolerate
the material so you got to say, you know what, Lord,
help me to get something nice for them, even if
it's not a holiday event. You know, I'm just thinking
about you, and I'm going to go and get as
a matter of fact, as a lady who's on my
advisory board, and I really you know, I've only seen

(28:57):
her once last year, but she doesn't know. I've got
a lady making me a nice basket with a journal
in it. But I need large pins because she is
very her right hand writing hand it's arthritic. But everything
she's gonna get, she'll be able to maneuver with it.
She'll be able to enjoy every piece of it, and
she'll be able to unravel the gift itself, you know,

(29:17):
because I just wanted to know I'm thinking about her.
Her kids don't think Oh god, her kids don't. I
don't know what happened in the family, but her kids
just you know, just ignoring her. This has taught me
how I can be more considerate. Oh in the station. Yeah,
it's just a little step, especially if you're thinking about somebody,
especially and for folks who wear glasses gold. Like I said,

(29:38):
there's a Amazon has a collection of all kinds of
you know, holders, eyeglass holders and cases, and you could
get the hard ones and stuff like that. I mean,
you be upset if you saw mine. But I have
my stems, you know, are different colors because of my eye.
I wear different colors. And that's all I can bring back.

(29:58):
That's all I can hold onto. That was a part
of me. I like things to match. And then I
showed I told you the story and I'm gonna get
We're gonna go on here because the time is just running.
But one of the reporters had on these malted earring,
maulted ball other things that can be helpful. Thank you, George,
I mean Charles. I gonna call you George. Thank you, Charles,

(30:20):
your medal name. She had a white malted ear rings,
a yellow blouse, round collar, short sleeve, and an awkward
skirt with white pumps. I don't know what she was reporting.
I was stuck at all these colors like she made.
They at that time, they would make it over seventy

(30:41):
thousand dollars. I can only imagine what they're making now.
And I'm looking at her like, who dresses you do?
You bring in your own stuff? I don't know what
she said. She couldn't say a hurricane was coming. I
don't even know what it was because I was stuck
at And that's what I decided for myself. This is
before this happened to me. I'm gonna make sure the
two pieces of my jury match. So if I've got
pearl earrings on, I'm gonna have well, now I'm gonna

(31:04):
have on a pearl bracelet with the cross on it,
because right now I have bracelets with the crosses on it.
And I had to get you know, I donated my
all my watches and things like that and anything jewelry
that I would have to put have help putting on
because I've got these that just rolls right on and
do what I needed to do. It matches, But that
was for me. I know some of y'all made like Oprah,

(31:27):
but I'm still wondering who dressing her. I'm still one
of you. You're a billionaire. I don't understand that to
save my life, but that's not my business. She's the billionaire.
She made a money, so I'm gonna leave it at that. Okay,
So now we're gonna segue because some folks had homework,
and this is what the Lord told me. Over the
how's your daughter's new line coming? Okay, thank you, Missy,

(31:48):
it's coming along really well. I'm waiting. Probably the next
email is going to be, we're sending you the prototype.
Because we made the decisions on all the hardware. That's
what they call it, all the hardware, the links, the
zippers and lining and everything. It's gonna be cute. So
I'm expecting them the next email will be, we're sending
this you know, FedEx, look out for it, and then

(32:09):
we'll go from there. And I'm hoping and praying that
we just gonna do a limited edition. I just wanted
to satisfy my promise. We'll do a limited edition and
sell about twenty five to fifty of whatever God says,
and we call it a day for me. Now, she
could pick it up from there and take it, you know,
go on from there. But anybody want to do their
handbag or clutch line, let me know because I can

(32:31):
refer you to some great people. They're in the United States.
They get their stuff from the United States and all
that good stuff. So thank you, Missy for asking about that.
This is what God told me out of the blue.
I wasn't thinking about nobody it wasn't thinking about the podcast.
He said, if anybody of your viewers want to get married,
I know this is gonna blow y'all away. Want to

(32:54):
get married, you offer them one session of premiered a
counselor for free, and you marry them online for free.
Or if they decide to come to Orlando, come to
Florida for little ak. I'm a notary as well. I
could take care of it all. And Pastor Miguel as
well as I could call on him and he'll come

(33:15):
right over. Or if you want a beach setting, we'll
go to him. That's God. Now I'm not calling out
no names, but I'm putting it out there and that's it.
And as we continue, they didn't know about that either, Harry.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
I got God.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Everybody that listens to the show are on the show,
and if it sparks something to them, there's your offer
for free. Again, no excuse. Okay, So we gave a
couple of y'all, well, one person y'all that know, we
gave homework too, But we gave some homework out there
last time. And I told you we're gonna circle back

(33:56):
and you're gonna talk to us or give us some
ideas that you do it and you know who I'm
talking to, because I think they're on. I'm not calling names.
If you don't want to talk about it, I'm on.
All four of y'all, all three of y'all, just put
no no, no, no no, so we can't know who
it is. No an a an a. If everybody respond

(34:17):
and you know, there we go, or question mark? What
of y'all? Two of y'all put question mark? But the
one person knows who are talking to? Talk to me?

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Did you try?

Speaker 2 (34:27):
God? Did you give them a minute? Did you find
out the things that keep you thought it was for everyone?
Only one person? Kind of asks kinda but of course anybody,
anybody could do this. It is for everybody. It is.
I have no problem with that. Talk to me if
you did it, talk to me, talk to us please,

(34:50):
I'm running out of time. Now, come on, come on,
anybody another little piece while you're getting yourself together. I
got a clicker because you know I told you I
was studying one scripture a day and you're supposed to
recite it out loud. Past this holding things up for me? Yes, misty, okay, yes,
I'll get with you in just a second. And you

(35:12):
know I'm not gonna sit here and write down Talli's
tally sticks on one to the up to one hundred.
So I use my clicker. I started at zero, and
I use my clicker, and I say this scripture out
loud has blown me away. So yes, what are the past? Okay,
here we go the past. Yes, it holds people back,

(35:33):
family dramas one of mine. Okay, yeah, but is it
something with the fact. Okay, let me go back, go
to Missy's first past. Holding the past is nothing but
a memory. That's what forgiving and forgetting comes in. Even
though you may not forget everything, but you want to
get the memories, the events, the people involved to a

(35:55):
point where you think about them. It doesn't pinch, it
doesn't immediately costs or cause anger. You want to lessen
that power. It's going to be a part of your life, because,
if you believe it or not, everything we've ever gone
through has brought us to today. Everything how to treat people,
how to love, how to walk away, how to not

(36:16):
hurt so much, how not to hurt anybody else. I mean,
every life lesson we've ever learned. Everybody, everybody has been
a part of that no matter how much the hurt
was or the embarrassment was, or the lack of you know,
you caused me to go bankrupt and all that stuff,
it all has brought us to today what you want

(36:39):
to do. And I told you the subconscious is one
of the nastiest parts of our ego because it holds everything.
It holds everything. And then their scripture that says, you know,
think not all this or I guess mine is I
get in my own way, okay, mickey, So then you
got to come up with some ideas to divert you.
You've got to come up with an idea. Okay, I

(37:00):
get in my own way. So you know what, maybe
I just don't need to be apart. I don't need
to go to every family event because we already know
they're gonna show out. Somebody's gonna just be mad because
the string ring castle role was cooked wrong and it's
the same person that's been cooking it for years. None
of y'all have any heart to tell a person don't
cook that no more. But you let you keep letting.

(37:21):
Then that gives yourself to start getting the argument about
who does that? Who keeps doing the same thing? What
over and over again, expecting what different results. No, you
could just take a break. You don't need to go
to that family event this year. Don't go because you
already know what's gonna jump off. You know that's that
uncle that's always gonna remind you of your past. You

(37:42):
know he gonna be if he's still alive, he's gonna
be there. That cousin that bullied you as a child,
still bullying you. Look what I got, Look what I got.
Remove yourself from that and it's okay. It's okay, and
don't lie about it. Said No, I'm gonna feel like
coming this year, y'all enjoy click now. I know some
of y'all are not as rough as I am, but
I've been at this for a minute. I think yes,

(38:05):
go ahead, Trey, I think too.

Speaker 4 (38:06):
You can if you if that's what you're gonna do,
if you're gonna go, I'm just using an example. If
you're gonna go self talk, you know, you do some
positive self talk and you know, play out what could
possibly happen or what has happened in the past. It
seems to do all the time that if someone says
this practice it, I will handle it by what remove myself.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
From a walk away from it. You know, count praise something.

Speaker 4 (38:34):
To prepare you for that if that's what you're gonna do,
and put yourself in that situation where it's not so
you know, comfortable, but kund of preparing yourself in all
Anguish's just you and yourself having this conversation.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
If this happens, I'm gonna do this.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
If that happens, I'm gonna do this, or I'm gonna
say this, or I'm gonna plan on eving, go long,
plan to stay the whole time. If your things is
gonna get overwhelmed.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
If I feel.

Speaker 4 (38:58):
Stressed, I'm immediately move myself, say thank you, had a
good time.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
Y'all have a good night. I'm out of here. So
those are some things that you can kind.

Speaker 4 (39:06):
Of prepare yourself for prior to if that I'm just
using that as an example, but write stuff that probably
self sabotaged as well.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Well. Charles, you know what that is. You know what
you're doing, and you need to decide. I'm over it now.
I'm a new person. I want to be the man
that God has preprepped me, has destined me to be.
And obviously what I've been doing hasn't worked, and that's
why the Bible said judge yourself so you won't be judged.
You sit in that quiet space for a minute. Don't

(39:39):
say that too long. Go to that valley and say,
you know what, I don't like this about me. I
don't like this about me. I don't like it when
I do that. Why do I self sabotage? Who am
I hurting? Who am I preventing? Who am I denying?
Who am I blocking? And it's going to point back
to you.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Go ahead, I was gonna say that that.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
You know.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
Part of my message yesterday was that we you have
to understand that God doesn't condemn you, convicts you, and
God doesn't hold your past for you. You become locked
into your past and you're holding onto it. When do
you let go? And the other thing is you're you're
in a situation where you're wanting to ask God to

(40:23):
help you. God's asking you which which path do you
want to be on? Can't be on the path you
want to beyond?

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Follow me?

Speaker 3 (40:33):
Doesn't work that way. I used. I used an expression
yesterday and I learned it because I saw it on
an advertisement on Facebook and it said, I rather stand
with God and face the world instead of being in
the world and face God. Know that those are some
One of the toughest decisions you will make is wanting

(40:58):
to walk with God because Jesus made it very clear
in the Book of John when he said World's gonna
hate you because of Me. So if you're wanting to
know how your day's going to go tomorrow, well, if
you follow Christ, that's what world hates. What are you
going to do about it? Sulk? Or do you rejoice

(41:19):
that you've given another day of life, another day to
praise God? You being a reflection of the kingdom, you
can make the difference. So you take the focus off
of you and place it on God, and you watch
how you become liberate.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
And you say, here I am, here am as is
now one little thing that helps me when I'm feeling
heavy and I'm not supposed to feel heavy, but when
I've been, you know, dealing with just going to publics
and dealing with the customers. Okay, I come. I'm like, oh,
I said, God, I present myself to you, and every
title everything that I am, I give it back to God.

(41:59):
I'm a neighbor, I'm a mother, I'm a spiritual mother.
I'm a minister, I'm a chaplain, I'm an author, I'm
a voice actor, I'm an actress. I'm a college professor.
I'm this, I'm that, I'm this, I'm the everything that
I am, everything that I am, and I'll say to
him now, I get that all back to you. And
I do this throughout the year. I do this often.

(42:20):
Now give back to me, Lord, who and what I
need to be and do for this season. This is
a different season. I may be called to be just
a counselor. I've retired now, I'm not a therapist anymore,
so that season not but I'm I'm in the chaplain
role now and that's whole totally different. But being a pastor,

(42:40):
I got to go back to be being a student
real quick to take care of the certification I want
to get. I'm a student in taekwondo. So those are
the roles I am now. And that's all. He'll give
you exactly what you need and the people. But you
gotta be ready to let go no matter what. And

(43:00):
you know my testimony college two psych exams that psychology
was my major. I can't remember nothing on Thursday, the
tests on Friday, and I had to say, Jesus, if
you I know you're real, if you can help me,
I'm crying. If you can help me, cause I got
I can't just pass the course. I've got to get
an a. I've got to get a high ninety on

(43:22):
it to keep my GPA. And Jesus came. I accepted him.
I said, I'll run and I won't look back. I
promise you. That's all I got. That was my foundation.
He was waiting on me. That's what they got, one
of the many things out of He just waits on us.
But heaven's closing up now because he wants all his
chosen together, because he's getting ready to bless unlike ever before,

(43:43):
as the world ends, as the world turned, So Charles,
all you have to do, Misty, all of y'all, all
you have to do is say I'm done. It didn't
work for me, so I'm good. I'm done. God you're
the only choice, because guess what, I ain't try you
all the way he had one hundred percent. Start there,
Start there, Go to your word and let the Bible

(44:05):
comfort you. I told people, just three people in the
last forty eight hours. You're gonna be so mad at
yourself when you see the type of power and authority
you would have walked in ten years ago, five years ago,
five minutes ago, you're gonna be so mad with yourself.
Why did I give my life to him? Sooner? Go ahead, guys,
I don't want to take all of this got too many.

Speaker 4 (44:26):
I'm just gonna say this that you know that you
said a mouth for Lesha, this walk has definitely been
great for me and just trusting him, just learning to
trust him and learning to understand him more, and just
being getting out of my own way. I think someone
said that I had to just get out of my
own way and just listen to him and surrender to him.

(44:48):
You know you told Melisha and Pastor too, you know,
just tell her I surrender and just having a regular
talk with him. But that is I'm telling you, this
is just a great place to be Amen.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
One of the things that, as I mentioned yesterday, I
delivered a message and it was titled the process. We
all have to go through a process. We can't expect
to ease your life just because we're a Christian, because
what would be very selfish of us. The just didn't
have an easy path. He had to suffer. He suffered

(45:21):
for us, but he had to complete a process that
he was assigned to. We all have to go through
a process. We all have to graduate and get to
the next level. Can't bypass a certain level because you
don't mature. It's like it's like a human. It takes
time for us, for us to grow because the muscle,

(45:45):
I mean, the bones have to grow to be able
to fill in the spot where you're growing well. Can't
bypass a path, a process because you don't have to pay,
because that's where maturity comes in. Once you learn, then
you have to understand that once you complete the process,

(46:09):
you're going to move to the next level.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
And anybody is interested.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
If anybody is interested in the sermon, I've got the
link for it and I would send it to you.
Just send me your email and I'll send it to you.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
Give McCall text him at that phone number down there
and he will definitely send it to you. Thank you
guys for coming on tonight and listening. We're going to
see you next next Monday, the whole new month. It's
May here we go too, oh thinking too Wednesday, huh

(46:42):
