Speaker 1 (00:05):
Well, hello there, welcome to the nth degree.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We have a fun conversation today, not all you know,
not too serious, but serious enough that it affects your life.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Yeah. Yeah, and we're going to take this topic to
the instagree. I'm telling let's do it. Let's do it, Donna,
So I'm gonna do it first.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Of all, everyone, I'm going to say this because Donna
probably won't. Doesn't she look amazing. That's the first thing
that I noticed when we jumped on today. I'm like, Donna,
you look great. And then she's like, he's moving around,
like your arms look good. Oh, I guess your hair
looks good. Oh, girl, friend, you look great, and she said.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I said, thank you very much. It's very kind for
you to notice because I have been on a health
journey and a and kind of a morph journey, a
morphine journey. How do you say that morph metamorphos is journey?
(01:05):
And it's great when people, you know, notice that, Wow,
good things are going on with you. Tell you know,
tell me mare. And we just had this nice little
conversation and all that. So, so it's it was kind
of you to do that. But I have been on
a bit of a an interesting ride, this was my year,
and I was just telling Berlin, this was my year
(01:26):
to do a new thing and to really invest in
loving myself a little bit at a at a greater degree.
Giving myself permission to love me meant saying yes to
some things for me and me alone, and being willing
to say to others I'm sorry no. And so it's
(01:47):
been empowering for me in the three parts of me,
my spiritual and body. And so that that's kind of
just it's it's a little like I'm still in the
amazement stage. I've been five months into changing a meal
plan and I basically went on an elimination diet and
(02:11):
started eliminating quite a bit of things, and so mostly
I eat animal products. But when I made that decision,
it was on. It was on. It was the day
before it was what is it? Does April have thirty
days or twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Or thirty thirty?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Thirty? Okay, thank you sorry. I had a moment thirty
days on the thirtieth of April. So I decided on
the thirtieth of day April that on March first, I
would make this book change May first.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
March first, Well, April is thirty, Yeah, Okay, February has
twenty nine days. Okay, does this animal thing affect your month?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Oh my gosh, if you can't laugh at yourself?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, what we going? It's not good?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Okay, the last day of February. And I remember the moment.
I remember the moment I made the decision. I was
taking a walk with my husband. It was early evening.
I was at the top of the street up here,
and I said to my husband, you know, I've been
rolling around something in my mind for about three or
four days, and I think I'm going to do it.
(03:18):
And he's like, what I said, I think'm gonna change
my meal plan drastically because nothing's moving the needle for me.
And so we talked about that. He said, oh, I
think you could do that, he said. He's a very
mild mannered person, and he said, O yeah, I think
you could do that. That seemed to be my crest
of my wave. And we were just talking about waiting
(03:39):
for the wave, the moment the crest of your wave,
like a surfer does, to catch that wind up there
and that momentum of that wave under your feet to
make a change.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
And the first of all, I need to correct myself
this was not a leap here, so it was February
twenty eighth.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Okay, thank you, yeah, okay, now now okay, now we
get the timing off, right. So from that moment, I
have lost thirty pounds, and I tell you, I'm like congratulation.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I got goosebumps. She said, you like, she reached your
goal weight. That is so so good.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I'm like fustating happy dance blain. It just it's so
gratifying when someone else is joyful with you for succeeding
and having a success.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Oh my gosh, yeah, totally.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
It's just very helpful.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
And so what I was thinking of, you know, I
am I'm probably about twenty pounds over my goal weight,
and I've been thinking about, you know, do I want
to do the work to lose this last twenty and
I haven't come to a conclusion and made a decisive
decision yet, which is the impetus for actual success. Anybody
(04:57):
can give you any.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Kind of any pill, any.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Whatever trick of the month, it is nothing will work
until you make the decision. And I know because I've
lost thousands of pounds in my life, right story, get
your minds around it, and I just haven't been in
the place where I can make that decisive decision. Now
I've I've made the decision to not go up. I'm
(05:29):
I'm maintaining you know, I've already I already have that
healthy life, healthy ish lifestyle that where I know that
I'm not like just gaining year over year over year,
which now people do, but I have not made the
decision like this is my time to actually pick that
last bit off. And so I just congratulate you for
(05:50):
making the decision sticking to the decision.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And then you also talked about toys where sometimes I
want to.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Share that absolutely encourage our listening audience to I want
to encourage you. I want to build your courage. I
want to build your courage so that you can make
a decision. Okay, So the Bible says to you, know
to kind of count the cost, you know, look look
at the end before look look at the end, know
(06:20):
the end before the beginning. Okay. That is such a
huge wisdom coming from our father God, because if you
can visualize the end, it will help you in the beginning,
it will help you in the start. And if you
keep visualizing the end, keep and in fact, don't let
your vision of the end peter out, you will have
(06:43):
to stir it up. That is an intentional pursuit to
stir up the visual image of you or your project
at the end.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Now, that's that's why vision boards work in front of you,
as long as it keeps it from God.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yes, one hundred percent and okay, So then to start
the project, now you kind of have looked at this situation,
then you have to have you have to have that
cresting moment where you make the decision. And I would say,
if you're if you're still in the mulling stage, like
(07:20):
you kind of said that, Brillain, you're still in the
bulling stage. If you're still in the moulling stage, good
for you. You are in the mulling stage. Hallelujah, wonderful
because what comes after the mulling stage is the crest
of the wave.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, And I just want to talk about this mulling
stage for a moment because it's a great way to
put it. Because I just from past experience, I know
that if I have not made a solid decision, it's
not going to be successful. It's not going to work,
and I'm going to waste my time. And also you
can cause damage by the yo yo stuff in your
body trying to go down for a couple of weeks
(07:57):
and then giving up and going you know, eating back
to or any project right exactly, I will waste time
and potentially just cause hopelessness and you know, hope deferred
and yeah, all of the stuff that comes up with
quote unquote failure because I know that I haven't made
(08:21):
the solid decision. So that is part of the mulling stage,
just to know that you're in a mulleing stape, like
I haven't made the decision, so I start, but it's
not going to be successful, So why don't I wait
until that the correct timing comes and I'm ready to Okay,
that's the full force.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Armor on, let's do it. Yes.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Oh, they're so much to talk about in this because
what I learned pretty recently is that and I told
you this before I got on camera. It is blowing
me away, like it's all inspiring to my core, the
freshation of how integrated I am as a spirit, soul
(09:04):
and body, and that each of my components, my tripart being,
affect one another and all that. And it's been this
really wonderful experience of adventure to explore some things and go, well,
I'm having my body's having a problem here, I wonder
(09:25):
if my spirit can help, or my soul's having a
problem here, I wonder if my body can help. And
finding that all of that meshes when you open the
door to the three part of you. Love you as
the three part of you. So I had to work
on loving my body right where I was. I had
to work on loving my soul right where she was.
(09:48):
I had to work on loving my spirit, which is
interesting for a believer because that usually led me to
the love of God. It led me to the love
of Jesus, love, Holy Spirit, love the angelic beings you know,
and and so and that realm that we all came from.
And and it just I mean when I begin to separate, separate,
(10:14):
but also mesh them, you know, and get them working together.
And let me tell you the place that you do
this from, in my opinion, is you do it from
the heart. Out of the heart issues the life, the
issues of life. Okay, out of the heart, you speak.
So your heart is that place that has access to
(10:34):
all three parts of you, and it can it can
be the I call it your decider, your heart is
your decider, okay. And if you visualize it like it's
a place you stand in your being, stands in your
heart and you decide, then you then all three parts
of you can catch a wind, right, they go, oh,
she just decided a thing. What I also found was
(10:58):
if you stand in your heart and invite in darkness
or invited negativity, limitation, manipulation, control, fear, rejection, all of
those other things that you are, you're not ready to
make that decision. So don't do that. To let your
heart decide when those thoughts are there, you must work
(11:20):
on the mulling process of eradicating and and I don't
know how to say this, but eliminating those thoughts, okay,
working doing the work to eliminate the thoughts. And I
guess it's like calling yourself back to true.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Self, right, coming back into alignment.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yes, when you're standing in the place of your heart.
And god Father gave me this visualization. One day. I
walked in here to my quiet time and sat down.
I was just thinking about the Lord and an image
flashed in front of me and it was I think
I might have said this before, but it was like
me standing like standing somewhere like I got my feet
(12:06):
out in a sturdy stance and I got my arms out,
and what was happening was I was I was like
a magnet and things were being attracted to me, like
like all of a sudden, yeah, exactly, Like I was
just magnetized and all these little round orbs were going
(12:27):
and I looked like marshmallow mandor I looked like blueberry
man or no BlackBerry man. You know how the black
gray heads off a little Okay, So I paused, I'm like, okay, Lloyd,
that's amazing. What is all that? And he's like, what
does it feel like? So he's talking now, God, the
Godhead is talking to my emotions, and I'm like, okay, emotions,
(12:50):
now's your time to shine. What does it feel like?
And it feels good, it feels powerful, it feels like
I'm attractive, it feels like I'm I'm receiving resources. And
it just the more I went into the verbal of
(13:10):
that question, the more things started magnetizing to me. It
was it was phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
So that was.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Your father in heaven gave you your imagination for use.
And he wants to say he already redeemed it. He
wants to sanctify it. He already redeemed it if you're
in Jesus. If you're not in Jesus yet, that's a
simple prayer away. And then he wants to show you
quite a lot of of how he sees you. And
when he shows you how he sees you, the spirit
(13:44):
of rejection can't the spirit of rejection can't even operate.
It's just a turn to ash because you know, oh no, no, no,
no no, I'm very valuable and in fact, things are
so attractive to me. I'm like a magnet. Right.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
So, so the trick there, or the steady factor, is
to remain in the truth of how he sees you,
because the enemy would lie to you, and the familiar
spirits who keep who have ingrained in the neural pathways,
the false self or the false image not good enough,
(14:24):
those kinds of things will come, will want to come back.
So you have to remind yourself about the truth of
how he sees you in order to It's an ongoing right.
It's it's not it's not a once and done. It's
done right because thoughts, feelings, other people's feelings, familiar spirits,
(14:44):
other things, other wavelength frequencies can affect how you feel
and therefore how you think. And so that is the
the magic thoughts of reminding yourself of his of his
view of you and how much He loves you, and
where you truly are multi dimensionally. You are seeded in
(15:06):
heavenly places, and you are in an eternal being, and
this momentary life, like the Bible says, it's just a flash,
and you have an assignment to do here and you
thinking about how awful you are or how bad you
are is totally counterproductive to the truth of what God,
(15:27):
what God says you are, and it also countermands the
order for you to step into your destiny and do
what He has you to do, because who what are
you going to do what you have to do if
you're feeling like who am I to do it? And
I'm not good enough and all of those lives no.
So I love the way you said that, Donna, that
you have to your soul helps your spirit, and your
(15:48):
spirit helps your soul, and your body helps your soul,
and your body helps your spirit. You know, like it
all works together, right, So if there's something Amith like earlier,
I had felt jittery in my in my inner world, and.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Which is an unusual thing for me.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
And and so I'm like, okay, Lord, I receive your piece,
and I had I took deep bread so that my
for my body, and then in my spirit I received
the truth of His peace. And in my soul, I'm like,
I'm like checking off what happened, what happened, what happened
to what happened? Did I make a decision? Did I
come into agreement?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
You know what I mean? So I just like look
and then like, okay, so you need you just let
that go.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
So it's it's a multi dimensional way to make a
magnetizing decision.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I love it. That's so good.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
That's so good. Okay, So let me go back, circle back.
And the two bumps in the road, okay, yes, yes,
because everybody that is going to have them. You know
why you're going to have them because life is a journey, right,
Life is a journey, and your bumps are meant to
level you up. So you see a bump in the
(16:59):
road and you go down that road going I'm a
launch off of this bump, because that's what your loving
heavenly father put the bump there for. He put it
there because he knows that a little resistance actually causes
a leveling up, a little bit of resistance actually causes
a momentary clarity of truth. And you're like, hmm, And
(17:25):
it does it for your body, It does it for
your emotions, and it does it for your intellect. It
does it for your spirit as well. So I was
saying telling Brelain, and I'll go back and repeat this,
but I guess I had been on on this new
eating plan and you know, focusing on my body fitness,
(17:50):
and I wasn't doing just a whole lot, but I was.
I was watching and receiving in the spirit. How is
this going to be for me? And I'd like to
say it was all joy and roses the whole time,
But that's not a process. So let go of the
thought and the expectation that it's going to be joy
and roses the whole time. It's not. It's going to
(18:12):
be journeying with God in the tripart being that you
are connected to the Kingdom of Light. And if you
just keep tethering into that, you're going to find that
your process will advance. So well, I guess i'd been
(18:33):
on this about maybe a month, and I just and
I was feeling good, and I was losing weight, and
not a lot of weight. It was gradual. But I
just suddenly had this moment of maybe I shouldn't do this.
You know a lot of people were you know, oh,
be cautious and da da da. Anyway, so I'm sixty
four years old, so I could certainly decide for myself
(18:56):
what I want to put in my body. But anyway,
so I had this momentary doubt, okay, and kind of
mulling over yes no, yes, no, And I had dream
and as I'm not going to go into the dream,
but I had a very clear dream. In fact, I
had two dreams in the same night that were like
(19:17):
like it was like two snapshots of the same subject.
It was like, Holy Spirit was like, I'm gonna help
this girl needs to see this. So anyway, as I
sat down like I normally do and really paused with that,
let the Lord speak interpreted that and everything, I suddenly
realized my father in heaven is saying keep going. He's
(19:37):
not saying stop, he's not saying change course. He's actually
saying stay the course. It was so encouraging to me
that my father, who created my spirit soul and body
that he was saying, my eye is on you. I
am Elroy, I see you, and I'm going to give
you a dream to communicate a love letter to you.
(19:57):
Keep going, just keep keep have constancy. That's what came
out of the dream, Have constancy. And I'm like, oh,
I'm gonna grab that word, you know, and internalize that
I ate that word. And so and so I kept going,
all right, and I was sailing along and all that,
(20:19):
and then just seven days ago, so this will be
seven days before I reached my goal weight. Seven days ago,
I had another moment of well, maybe I should just
up my advancement in the actual weight loss had slowed down.
It was pretty trickle, and yet I could tell my
(20:40):
body was recomposing in certain areas. And I had a
couple of truth thoughts along the way. One was, you know,
your body is absorbing a lot of tissue, like it's
like to lose weight if you're not gaining muscle, because
if you gained muscle, you're going to weigh more. But
if you're losing the way and you just had, you've
(21:02):
reached a full crumb where you are absorbed. You're literally
absorbing excess skin excess a lot of skin. Think how
much skins on your body? Uh, that sort of thing.
Perhaps this, you know, perhaps weight loss is not the
only metric you ought to be looking at. That was
the truth bomb I had from the Lord. And so
(21:22):
I'm like, okay, well that's that's right, that's right. So
I went a little while without getting on scale, you know.
All that just kind of calmed my soul down. But
then I decided to check and see if I was
in katosis. And so I have something that I checked
that with, and I checked it and I was not
even in key I was not even burning key tones.
And I'm like, I haven't had a carbon five months,
(21:45):
what the heck? And so I was like, hmmm. So
I texted a friend who has been on his own journey,
and you know, he used to own health clubs and
the whole line yards and I'm like wait, and he's like, oh,
you need to eat more fat. And I'm like what,
(22:06):
you know, like the last thing I thought he was
gonna say. He's like, check your beverages and your sauces
and eat more fat and so, in other words, let
your protein be more but with more higher fat content.
And I'm like nuh, And so I did that and
two days later I was back in kutosis. But during
(22:26):
that time I was having muscle cramps and it was
that now mentally, remember it was that time of should
I keep going? Should I just done? I'm I done
with this? Are we finished? You know? I'm asking the Lord.
I'm kind of feeling locked, and I'm having muscle cramps
at night, and I'm just not having a whole lot
(22:48):
of energy. I'm kind of feeling a little fatigued, and
I'm like, well, maybe maybe this is sober, Maybe my
season for this is done. Maybe this is just it.
And then I then I texted him that I found
out I was and ketosis, and I want you to
know it came to that wave again. It was like
I needed to get back up on the crest of
(23:10):
that wave and make the recommitment because all of a sudden,
and his text was very helpful because I'm like, other
people have been through this. Why am I thinking I'm
the only person? Does that ever happen to? Okay, I'm
gonna climb back up on the on, you know, on
the wagon. I'm gonna get on the crest of the wave.
And the moment This is what I was telling for lent.
The moment I decided I'm going for this, I'm gonna
(23:33):
stay on this, and we're we're going to see what happens.
This is an adventure of a lifetime. Here I go.
The minute I made that decision, my muscle cramps at
night completely stopped like a light switch.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, God, that is so amazing.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
See how much a decision magnetizes you to the truth.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, the muscle cramps right right.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Hear that story and tell me you're not a body, soul,
and spirit and you're integrated as one being.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yes, we are multi dimensional, absolutely, and what we do
in one dimension, which you made the decision in the
spirit realm.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
That's where the thought.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Happens in your heart, in that intangible space, right.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
It's in the spirit realm.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
And you made that decision and it affected your three
D realm, your body.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yes, yes, so I thought suddenly my body went, oh,
oh we're doing this. Oh oh we're doing this, and
so that okay, you're being in the physical. You're an
energy ball, right, you're a battery, and so all my
electrical went, oh all right, all right, boys, get back
on track.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
So good. Oh my gosh, I love yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
And then seven days later I meet my goalway.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, god, that is so good.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I really want to hear from our audience if this
inspired you, because it inspired me just even talking about it,
I'm like, oh, maybe it is time for me to
make that decision. You are so inspiring and I'm so
glad that you can share what you went through with it,
(25:14):
because I'm sure it was not easy for five months
to eat animal products where where other people around you
were not. With your husband on board with that, it
would be pretty much doing the same thing, or would
he Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Now, my husband had no need to lose weight. I
obviously had to look my health status, needed to need
to lose weight.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
It's just eating. Did you have to cook?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
You know, he's the grill master in the family, and
so I've had lots of lovely grilled steak.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Oh got it? Okay? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:46):
So and we've and along the way, so's he's all
about it. He eats other things, but he's all about
eating protein. And you know, it was like we had
lots of conversations about you know, like I would say, well,
you like a New York strip, but I like a Rabbi,
(26:07):
and the difference is because I want the fat, the
fat of your content and a ribby. You know, we
had that little clash and kind of had to work
that out and all this because he all he want
to do is grow New York's sake strip and I'm like, no, no, no.
But I found out that I equalized my spending. I'm
a little bit, probably more because meat is more, right,
(26:27):
but I equalized because I'm not buying anything else. No sauces,
no jams. No, I mean I buy butter.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, butter, Butter is always good.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Yeah right.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
I'm trying to do more higher protein too. And so
instead of putting ketchup on a burger or something, I
put butter on it.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
It's like, I don't you know.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
It's so cool because I would testify in my journey.
I started out and for the first month I didn't
eat anything added except eggs beef. I had bacon and
chicken wings, and I didn't even have any dairy, and
I didn't have any cheese, and but for me and
(27:10):
my body, and this is why you have to know yourself.
And I kept feeling like, no, this is working, this
is what I need to do because I've you know,
there's tons of podcasts out there about eating animal products,
and I would think, no, not adding cheese, yet not
adding dairy except for butter. I do you better no.
And then came a moment, a crustal a wave, and
(27:32):
I'm like, I am not going to be afraid of
cheese or you know, I'm going to I'm gonna explore this.
So I molded for a few days and then I
got to the crust of that decision. I'm like, yeah,
I'm doing it. And so I decided to eat hard
cheeses and I and so after I ate Heart Jesus
(27:53):
for a while, then I added softer cheeses along, you know,
back in a long way. So it was quite and
seeing what happens and what works, and then adding it back,
you know, slowly. But yeah, instead of just my husband
and I, yesterday we had meat loaf and I said,
let you want some sour cream. He'said, yeah, So we
(28:13):
cut our meat loaft and we cut our sour cream
and that was our sauce.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yeah. I've been doing It's like a fake meat loaf.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's just eggs and meat and sometimes I put onions
in there.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Too.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
But then I fry it kind of like in a pan,
but like a burger.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
But it's kind of mushy because of the eggs.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
But I'm like, so what if it doesn't look beautiful,
It's it's still essentially meat, eggs and butter.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
So I that's my fake meat loaf.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
And because it's quicker than baking it, although I do
the baking and then I freeze it and then I
have to nuke it, which I don't like the nukee stuff.
So yeah, yeah, So anyway, I've been doing that because
it's fairly easy.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
So yeah, I'm kind of doing that.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
But then I'm a fruit girl, so I had that
will be the hardest part of the decision to give
up the fruit, I think, especially in summer with watermelon
and cantalope and peaches and berries.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
And yeah, it kind of depends on what your goals are,
It depends on what your ages, depends on where your
mind is about this. You know, some people are like, no,
talk to the hand, fine decision, so yeah, and some
people are like kind of intrigued, and yet you know
(29:38):
they haven't they don't need to be on the wagon
yet on their end, So right, anyway.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Which is not to say that the carnivore or animal
products is the only way to go. I'm not saying that.
I'm just saying that that would be the next thing
that I tried, because I have I have been very
successful doing having meat, a vegetable, and a fruit. It's
just very reduced amount of things I've been You know,
(30:08):
there's multiple ways to diet and there's multiple ways to
be the it's whatever your body is craving and whatever
decision you make to stick with it.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
The thing that won't work is flipping from one to
another to another to another. That's like that.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
You really mess up your metabolism that way exactly, you know,
and you know, just to be fair to the listening audience,
did I add supplements? Yes, I was very careful about
my supplements, especially about the minerals potassium, magnesium. I'm very
well aware of that kind of thing, and so yes,
(30:45):
I was very steadied and studious about what I was
adding as a supplement.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Absolutely. Along the way in this journey, it's it's shocking
to me, like my Father, God, your Father God, our
Father God and his spirit through Jesus is just so
aware of what we need or what we need to
shift or add in or another piece of knowledge or wisdom,
(31:16):
sometimes from the world right, because people are all over
the world discovering things every day, sometimes spiritually, where the
Lord would go you to rest a little more, or
you need to be in the secret place with me
a little in this journey. I have a thought to share,
(31:36):
though I'm losing it. But then sometimes if you're in
my estimation, if you're willing to let God be God,
and he's a big God, if you give him permission
to bring to you the knowledge of some things you
don't know that you don't even don't know, you don't know,
he'll bring you some things. So one of these instances
(31:59):
for me was I caught a podcast, you know, clickbaits
out there, and they make all the headlines with blah
blah blah blah blah. But this was a topic I
had been interested in already, and it was about light
because God had given me a couple of dreams about light,
and it was about the frequency of blue light. And
(32:21):
of course, yeah, we talked about that, right, And so
I've really gone even deeper into that and changed some
lifestyle habits, and to my happiness and joy, have found
out that well, if I if I wanted to say
it in a sensationalist way, I would say, there's a
(32:45):
lot of people out there saying we need to be
afraid of the sun, and the sun is not something
to be afraid of. So I've kind of I've made
that as a our lifestyle change too. And I think
that once again, you're back to the bites spirit and
that has helped my tripart.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Being mm hmmm. And it does.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I mean, there's obviously studies on how sunlight affects your mood,
you know, as well as your physical body.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
So that's so good.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Yeah, wow, Donna, Well this this has been inspirational and
I'm so dang proud of you and I'm just so
happy and giddy for you. And and so so what
is your art? Like, how are you going to continue?
What's your next are you? Are you gonna like what
changes or what stays the same or you know, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
I don't know. I haven't gone there yet. Like I'm like, okay, lord,
all right, So I'm just watching, and I'm watching how
I feel watching you know what, I'm I'm just watching.
I'm watching for that next wave, that decision. I know
there's a lady on YouTube that has been on animal
(34:05):
products for fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
And directly products? Is that what you and what directly
animal products? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Oh, and she's skinny and strong, you know, I don't.
I don't know that my personal body, I don't have
a need to be skinny, but I have I need
to be healthy, you know. So that's where I'm coming from. Yeah,
so there's a there's a lot of it's an adventure
because there's a lot of opportunities to make decisions in
(34:35):
the future, and that is really going to be be
the the place where you walk with God in the
journey that he invited YouTube through his through the Cross and.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Me being the destiny scroll girl, I'm like, okay, so
either show me the next bit of my girl, or
give me a scroll for the next season or what
is the destiny that you have already wrote?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Because we know that his plans are perfect.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
So I'm so glad you said that.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah, so if we can just like receive our next
season scroll or the next if yours looks like an
Encyclopedia Britannica and you've got all of these volumes, then
take out the next volume Okay, what's the next one
and take a unpack it with the Lord and see
what's happening, you know, but first you have to receive it,
get it into you so that your dreams and your
(35:27):
the coincidences in life of the way he talks to
you and unpacks things and reveal things can happen.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Because if we never received the scroll, then we'll never
be on scroll.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Like our feet won't be planted on the path of where.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
He wants us to go.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
So I'm so glad you brought that up. It's not
it's not the tail end of this story, because that
is how my story began. Yes, this year's story, okay,
began with a scroll. And it was because I was
sitting around asking the Lord, well, I was complaining. I
was complaining to God. I don't think I was yeah,
(36:06):
bitterly complaining God. I don't think there's a scroll here.
This doesn't feel right. Was a problem, is it me?
I'm so sorry? Blah blah blah. And then I was like,
I might be doing this wrong. I might not have
sit down and thank my father for the scroll that
he's already written about me and asked angels to get
busy reading my scroll to me and tell my spirit, Okay,
(36:29):
it's time to go read our scroll. We need to
go here it read. You can either read it or
hear it. Girl. Go And that was part of my
part of my lunch. But once again, do you see,
sometimes the Lord will let you simmer in a moment
of Man, this isn't working for me, Lord, or I
have I have angst and and I don't feel me,
(36:53):
I don't feel where are you God? You know that
kind of thing. But from that, the Spirit of God
loves you. He will not leave if you're seeking after
him the best of your ability. If you're seeking after him,
he'll find you in that place and he will cause
a something to have. I promise you that is how
(37:13):
good he is.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Yeah, yep, I love that.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
I'm going to take a.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Totally sideways turn, but maybe a little related to know
how the Lord talks to you, to know how how
he reveals the next and the little bits of information
on your scroll. Since about two thousand and six or seven,
(37:42):
he's been speaking to me in cement truck. Long story,
I don't want to get into it.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
But.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
I had just we followed a cement truck. I was
driving with my mom and we followed a cement truck
and I just.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Mentioned to her, oh, the was recent and recently.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Yeah, yeah, just so.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Yeah, so I just mentioned to my mom, oh, the
Lord speaks to me in cement truck. So so let's
just like I just didn't want to talk for a
minute because I wanted to hear what the Lord was things.
Since we're following us the men truck and it was
just like seemed to be going where we needed to go,
and it like like all the way through town and
they got on the highway and went on. I mean,
(38:23):
it was a whale. So I'm like, okay, Lord, what
are you saying? You know, it was still about building things,
and you know, but the just yesterday she was complaining
about something and I'm like, you know, what the Lord
always provides, And I'm looking at Philippians four nineteen and
it says the Lord provides for all of our needs
(38:44):
according to his abundant riches and grace. And all of
a sudden had along comes of the men truck and
I'm like, see, I told you, Mom, I just said
the truth of the Lord, and he confirmed it. And
she's like she had to admit, So what is it?
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Great?
Speaker 1 (39:01):
So, yeah, I know exactly, but I just love that.
But what is that for you?
Speaker 2 (39:06):
When you're looking at your scroll and you're trying to
unpack it and you're trying to look at the Lord?
How does he speak to you to know that, you know,
just like I have a client who he speaks to
her in license plates?
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Definitely a license plate, girl. Yeah, what a beautiful segue
to how are you hearing God? How how are you
seeing God? How are you watching for God? And remember,
dear listening audience, this is about pursuit.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
I'm a lever.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
You are pursuing your lever, your bridegroom. You are pursuing
his way, his kingdom, his life. And and and if
you if your pursuit has kind of gotten loopwarm, we're
gonna stir you up with pursuit. We bless you with pursuit.
You are able to pursue God good. And that's what
(39:58):
that's what relationship is.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
It's for suit on both sides, right, and to make
the decision and stick to it and know that if
you're making a decision that is on your death dates, girl,
it's a good decision. And so the don't renegotiate it.
Don't renegotiate a good decision.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Oh I love that. Don't renegotiate a good decision. You
can have a bump, but keep coming above the right. Yeah. No,
the Lord speaks to me in digital clocks all the time.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Oh wow, okay, cool.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
I had to really press in to go what is that?
Four for four, eleven, eleven, twelve, twelve, ten and ten,
just a lot like that, And so I really had
to press in to catch the message of it. And
sometimes I'm still like, yeah, I see that, but okay,
(40:52):
what are we doing. It's usually he shows me on
digital clocks when there's a how do I say that, Lord,
like a not exactly a redirect, but maybe a tweak.
Here's a tweak, a tweak moment, tweak moment like that.
And and license tags he's license tags, numbers, letters, whole
thing messages like that. And then of course my dreams.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Yeah, billboards, billboards, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Every once in a while I'll get something like, you know,
you're you're mulling things over, you're tossing it around, you're
just kind of thinking about the Bible of Verth that
you read, or you know, a conversation you had with
the Lord or something, and then all of a sudden
just went by the billboard that confirmed something that.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
He's a very capable, very big able God, and he's
living and alive, and he's in you and around you,
and he's leading you and guiding you. And we have
made the decision to follow. So of course he's going
to steward our following ship. Right course he is. But
(42:03):
I think we're not encouraged, we're not exhorted often to
That's God. Go for that, Go for that, Listen to that,
make changes, make talk to him about that. Oh yes,
talk to God about that. I was gonna say one
more thing about Oh how God talks to you. I mean,
(42:30):
he's such a big God. So one day I was
asking the Lord. This is a couple of weeks ago.
I was asking the Lord about a thing. I was
just like, Lord, I'm gonna involved with that. How what
where's the resource about that? Should I just come up
to heaven and get a download? Or should I just
sit here and receive what? What?
Speaker 2 (42:45):
How?
Speaker 1 (42:46):
How am I gonna.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
Get this answer? This question answered? And the next day
I just had this weird h Hollywood movie. It was
just in my mind I just I just couldn't. I
couldn't shake it. I'm like, at first I was seeing
scenes of it, and I'm like, when I realized I
was seeing scenes of it, I'm like, what is the
(43:08):
name of that movie? I mean, I had to think
and think and think and think and think. I had
to then go and investigate, and I'm like, it has
this actor in it. Maybe I'll just go look and
see what did he play in, you know, And and
finally I find it. Okay, So I'm like, that's just
so odd. So that night, wouldn't you know, my husband's like, well,
let's watch a movie. And I'm like, oh, I don't
(43:28):
usually like to watch movies, but okay. And then I'm like, okay,
well we're gonna watch this one movie. He's like, where
did that come from?
Speaker 2 (43:37):
You know?
Speaker 3 (43:38):
And so we've watched it. The whole time I'm sitting
there watching the movie, the lord is like talking to me.
It's like talking to me. He's like, see that, see
that you've been asking me about that? Connect that with
that connect that, And I was just like unbelievable. Like
I wasn't even engaging my husband about any of this.
I was just going, wow, just wow. So God can
(43:58):
talk to you in multiple ways.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
Yeah, do you want to share what movie it was?
Speaker 3 (44:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (44:03):
Okay, all right, right, well.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
This has been so good and Donna thank you again
for inspiring us. And so if you want to share
this out to someone who needs inspiration, maybe maybe this
will speak to someone about Yeah, it's time to your
wave is cresting and it's time to make that decision
and it's time to stick to a decision that you've
already made or or whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
Yeah, do you know that your decision is coming right right,
that my decision is in you know, September or like that.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
Right right, whatever it is for you, the Lord is
always revealing and unrolling the next part of your scroll,
and he's never not talking to you.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
Heaven is very busy, right exactly for you to share
this out.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
