Speaker 1: Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all back, I
Speaker 1: have a suit on looking back to back down, giving
Speaker 1: the move like themking buck bus things and its coubles.
Speaker 1: Stop me true good at Steve har listening to mother
Speaker 1: for STU. Please, I don't join joining me. You gotta
Speaker 1: turn hurning the You gotta turn to turn them out.
Speaker 1: Got to turn out to turn the water the water.
Speaker 1: Come come on your back that it uh huh, I
Speaker 1: sure will. A good morning everybody. You are listening to
Speaker 1: the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man, oh man, oh man?
Speaker 1: How good is God to me? And part of the
Speaker 1: mission and the reason that I have a radio show
Speaker 1: is to become a share of more and more of
Speaker 1: a shareff You know. I used to hear my mother
Speaker 1: say it to me all the time. But God blesses
Speaker 1: you to become a blessing. And I think the more
Speaker 1: you understand that about yourself, I think the more blessings
Speaker 1: will flow your way. I think that once you understand
Speaker 1: the principle, that you know it. But it's kind of
Speaker 1: tied together with some other scriptures, and I'm not too
Speaker 1: knowledgeable about them, of course as usual, But I do
Speaker 1: know what I've heard you know, and you know if
Speaker 1: you look at something simple as do unto others as
Speaker 1: you would have them do unto you, you wouldn't you
Speaker 1: want somebody to help you if you needed help. I
Speaker 1: just know how to get it down there to where
Speaker 1: I've been able to understand it. If if there's a
Speaker 1: scripture similar that it says do unto others as you
Speaker 1: would have them do unto you, or if that's you
Speaker 1: know in a prayer, would not you want somebody to
Speaker 1: help you if you needed help? You've heard you reap
Speaker 1: what you sow. Do you understand that if you so discord,
Speaker 1: that discord is gonna come your way. That if you hate,
Speaker 1: hate gonna come your way. If you blog nothing but
Speaker 1: negative comments about people, your life will be filled with negativity.
Speaker 1: If all you do is talk about people, then guess
Speaker 1: what somebody got to turn that gun around and talk
Speaker 1: about you. See, it just stands to reasons. So what
Speaker 1: I've learned in my life and through all the trials
Speaker 1: and tribulations that I've had, is to take those lessons
Speaker 1: and share them with people in case you ain't heard
Speaker 1: it from somebody else. See sometimes, And the reason it
Speaker 1: seems like I'm redundant at times is what I am
Speaker 1: is because I'm always trying to find a different way
Speaker 1: to say the same thing. Because it's a funny thing. Man,
Speaker 1: You got to hear it a certain way for it
Speaker 1: to click with you. How many times have I heard
Speaker 1: a saying and then I heard it a different way
Speaker 1: that it clicked with me? You know, I've heard of
Speaker 1: this saying right here, remember this now, everybody's not happy
Speaker 1: for you. We've all heard that, right, everybody's not happy
Speaker 1: for you. Well, that's very simple that I don't need
Speaker 1: no explanation. That simply means of all the people you
Speaker 1: know or do not know, when something happens to you
Speaker 1: and you celebrating it, everybody's not going to join in
Speaker 1: on the celebration. That's all that is. But then you
Speaker 1: take it one step further. My father used to say
Speaker 1: something to me all the time. He says, son, everybody
Speaker 1: come with you, can't go with you. I didn't get
Speaker 1: that when I was fifteen. Everybody come with you, can't
Speaker 1: go with you. He said, you're gonna lose some of
Speaker 1: these friends you got along the way. But I don't
Speaker 1: care where you get in life. No, this right here,
Speaker 1: everybody can't go with you. If you are constantly trying
Speaker 1: to improve yourself, you constantly have to take assessment of
Speaker 1: the people around you. Because if you are going to
Speaker 1: continue to go and continue to grow, then guess what
Speaker 1: you got to have people that's on the goal and
Speaker 1: willing to grow, or else guess what you're gonna learn
Speaker 1: the valuable lesson. You know, the late boxing promoter Butch Lewis.
Speaker 1: I was talking with Butch Lewis one time, and man
Speaker 1: with a good brother man, he say, every successful man,
Speaker 1: it's doing what I call he got rope work to do.
Speaker 1: He got rope work to do. He got to put
Speaker 1: in work on rope. And I'm sitting there listening to
Speaker 1: Butch Lewis and all the money he had made and
Speaker 1: all the people's lives he had changed, and all of
Speaker 1: the moves he was making, and his incredible skills as
Speaker 1: a negotiator on behalf of some very very wealthy people.
Speaker 1: He was just an amazing man with no education. But
Speaker 1: he read everything. He butch Lewis read all that, all
Speaker 1: the papers, all the periodicals. That brother knew everything. He said,
Speaker 1: you got to put in rope. And I was sitting
Speaker 1: there listening. He said, here is the analogy, little brother.
Speaker 1: He say, you are on rope. There's a thick rope.
Speaker 1: You have on no shirt, you have on some tattered clothes.
Speaker 1: You have on no shoes. Your shorts is cut off
Speaker 1: just below the knee, and they tattered, and you got
Speaker 1: dirt on you and you're sweating. There's this huge, huge
Speaker 1: raw rope over your shoulder. There's burn marks on all
Speaker 1: of your shoulder. Connected to that rope is a wagon.
Speaker 1: That wagon has all your weight on it, all your responsibilities,
Speaker 1: all the people you're responsible for, all your children, your wife,
Speaker 1: your family members, your employees, your coworkers, your friends. They
Speaker 1: all on that wagon. Man, they're just sitting there. He's saying,
Speaker 1: what you gotta do is you gotta pull that wagon
Speaker 1: up the heel. Now. The only thing with it is,
Speaker 1: can't nobody help you pull your wagon. You pull your
Speaker 1: wagon alone. He saying, Now, what you can do along
Speaker 1: the way of pulling your wagon is you can find
Speaker 1: yourself a good wife, a good woman. He's saying that
Speaker 1: what that woman does is she get down off the wagon.
Speaker 1: She fan you while you pull it. She put water
Speaker 1: on you while you pull it. She put stuff in
Speaker 1: your mouth while you pull it. She kicked rocks out
Speaker 1: the way while you pull it. But she but she
Speaker 1: pull it for you. But she is equally as important
Speaker 1: as you are on the pull of the rope. He said,
Speaker 1: you hear me clearly now, young soldier. He said, nah,
Speaker 1: got this hell, He says, people on your wagon that
Speaker 1: you're responsible for. But you want the people on your
Speaker 1: wagon to help you get your wagon to the top.
Speaker 1: So what you hope is that they got their foot
Speaker 1: hanging over the side pushing, They got one leg over
Speaker 1: the back, or maybe both legs over the back pushing.
Speaker 1: They got they might have their butt on the wagon,
Speaker 1: but they push you with both legs. They're back facing
Speaker 1: your back, maybe some of them facing you when one
Speaker 1: of them got left leg hanging over trying to push.
Speaker 1: And you hope that all the people on the wagon
Speaker 1: you pull it is back there at least trying to
Speaker 1: help the wagon get to the top of the hill.
Speaker 1: Here goes your problem. Though everybody ain't pushing, Everybody ain't
Speaker 1: puck it ain't beaverybody ain't pulling. Everybody ain't kicking rocks
Speaker 1: out the way. You got some people on your wagon
Speaker 1: that's just laying on the wagon, drinking lemonade, looking at you,
Speaker 1: talking about how long it's taking you to get your
Speaker 1: wagon up to the top, looking at you, telling my
Speaker 1: whitest wagon, so slow. Then when you start picking up
Speaker 1: picking up speed, they want you to pull harder, you
Speaker 1: to pull faster, you to pull mole. Then they want
Speaker 1: you to throw what you then earned on the way
Speaker 1: up the hill backed on the wagon so they can
Speaker 1: have MO. But guess what, they ain't helping you get more.
Speaker 1: But they got a sense of entitlement that since you
Speaker 1: got mold, they should have MO. Everybody come with you
Speaker 1: can't go with you. Sometimes you gotta kick the people
Speaker 1: off the wagon that ain't pushing and pull it and say,
Speaker 1: hey man, I'm sorry. I thought I could do this
Speaker 1: with you, and I thought you was going with me.
Speaker 1: But it's clear to me you ain't nothing but dead weight,
Speaker 1: and it ain't my responsibility to carry dead weight anymore.
Speaker 1: I have carried you as long as I have to
Speaker 1: carry you. You are no longer my responsibility. I'm responsible
Speaker 1: for my family, my wife, my children. I'm not responsible
Speaker 1: for you. You got to get off my wagon because
Speaker 1: I'm a man on rope. I'm on a mission, baby,
Speaker 1: I'm bullet. You're listening, ladies and gentlemen, man, have your
Speaker 1: attention please. Uh it's Monday morning, it's the beginning of
Speaker 1: a new week. But it's the same damn thing up
Speaker 1: in the hill. We'veing to turn up this volume, create
Speaker 1: this igness and be botty bout it. Dog gone it,

Speaker 1: that where our kids think we're cool. Nothing. All right, listen,

Speaker 1: So I couldn't go outside, and I had nothing inside
Speaker 1: because what was inside now I wasn't naked, I wasn't naked,
Speaker 1: but what was inside left? So she left. That changed
Speaker 1: the mood right there. When you hit, when you hit,

Speaker 1: talked about twenty two and so I started dating this
Speaker 1: girl that worked at four. Um, I didn't think, so
Speaker 1: you didn't care. I probably about twenty one. So I
Speaker 1: finally took a long time got her to go out
Speaker 1: to dinner with me. I went to this restaurant up
Speaker 1: on Northfield by the horse track called brown Derby. So
Speaker 1: we walked in to Brown Irvy. I got a little
Speaker 1: pier carden suit on everything. We sit down at the table.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there, man, big thick not come, a little
Speaker 1: frow and everything. You know how you feel somebody standing yeah,
Speaker 1: and uh it just kind of dimly lit in there.
Speaker 1: So when my eyes adjusted, I look and the other
Speaker 1: girl I'm dating, it's in now with her mama dinner
Speaker 1: and she just standing at me, looking at you. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about man up side my head her mama back
Speaker 1: to me. Now I've been over that house. Man, Was
Speaker 1: this your girl? Thirty time? That was your girl? I
Speaker 1: don't know you, Yeah, that was your girlfriend. She staring
Speaker 1: at me. So I picked her out through the look
Speaker 1: across through these little vase with the flowers in it.
Speaker 1: You just thought I was in the jungle. So I
Speaker 1: looked around it and made our contact. I jerked my
Speaker 1: head so I would look out a no more. I
Speaker 1: said that. Man, I didn't know what to do. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm young. I'm trying to work this out. So I said, man,
Speaker 1: I gotta do something. So I got up. She looked
Speaker 1: dead at me. As soon as I got up and
Speaker 1: walked towards the bathroom. Here she comes. So when I
Speaker 1: got ready to make the left to turn into the bathroom,
Speaker 1: I just kind of peeked back and see if she
Speaker 1: was at with a mama. She was halfway across the restaurant,
Speaker 1: so I ain't make the left. Went straight on. Now
Speaker 1: my car, I parked a long way from the rest
Speaker 1: restaurant was crowded, so I'm on the other end. So
Speaker 1: I walked out the restaurant and just walked to the
Speaker 1: corner and cross the street all out here. Stay, I
Speaker 1: can't hear. You didn't hear? You didn't hear I walked off.

Speaker 1: you're listening to show now. This is according to Business Journal,
Speaker 1: this is a new survey that finds that a lot
Speaker 1: of employees would rather have more vacation rather than a
Speaker 1: pay raise. Really, yeah, if given the choice, forty one
Speaker 1: percent of people would actually rather have more paid vacation
Speaker 1: time than a pay raise. While we're always take that, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're always hearing about us employees not using up all
Speaker 1: they're paid vacation each year, it seems like a lot
Speaker 1: of folks really do want more time off. In fact,
Speaker 1: a new survey finds that if given the choice, for
Speaker 1: one cent of the people would actually rather have more
Speaker 1: paid vacation than a paid raise. I can't say that enough.
Speaker 1: Do you think you'd rather have more vacation time or
Speaker 1: a pay raise? Yeah. I'm kind of on the fence
Speaker 1: with this one because I don't take a lot of vacation,
Speaker 1: which is crazy. If you give me sick days, I'm
Speaker 1: taking them, every last one, every last one. I don't

Speaker 1: week can't very good. Buggle up and hold on tight.
Speaker 1: We got it for you here. It is the Strawberry
Speaker 1: Letter subject if I kid roses one more time. Dear
Speaker 1: Stephen Shirley. I am a wife and a mother with
Speaker 1: a great career. I love my husband. He is the
Speaker 1: best friend. He is my best friend and an amazing father.
Speaker 1: But sometimes I feel like he doesn't value me. Before
Speaker 1: we got married, I knew he wasn't very romantic and
Speaker 1: he didn't pay attention to details. Over the years, I
Speaker 1: realized that he does not get me. For example, I
Speaker 1: have never liked red roses and he noses, but throughout
Speaker 1: our marriage, for every occasion I get red roses. I've
Speaker 1: never complained about the roses because I feel like it's
Speaker 1: better than nothing, and I've told him my favorite flower
Speaker 1: there lilies. When he brought me my engagement ring, he
Speaker 1: got the ring that best fit his budget and not
Speaker 1: the one I want it. When we have sex, if
Speaker 1: anything new or exciting happened, I am always the one
Speaker 1: to initiate it. I've always had a high sex drive
Speaker 1: and I told him, But I guess he thinks I've changed.
Speaker 1: I've never denied him sex, even though I only enjoy
Speaker 1: it occasionally. He seems bored a lot during sex, and
Speaker 1: it takes the joy out of it for me. I
Speaker 1: am attractive and men notice me when I'm out. I
Speaker 1: don't play into it because I have no desire to
Speaker 1: cheat on my husband, but it feels good when other
Speaker 1: men notice me. I want my husband to enjoy spending
Speaker 1: time with me. I've talked to him about his attitude
Speaker 1: towards me, but he still falls short. But if I
Speaker 1: get red roses one more time, I'm going to flip out.
Speaker 1: What can I do to make my situation better? Please
Speaker 1: help me. While the letter isn't just about getting red roses,
Speaker 1: it's about a lot of things which you kind of
Speaker 1: may it about red roses, It's about your husband not
Speaker 1: being very romantic. It's about your husband not listening to you.
Speaker 1: It's about your husband not paying attention to the details
Speaker 1: like you say, It's about you not being happy in
Speaker 1: the bedroom when you guys are intimate. It's about a
Speaker 1: whole lot of stuff in this letter, but you put
Speaker 1: it on the red roses, I mean, and that could
Speaker 1: be the catalyst for all this stuff. You know, if
Speaker 1: he listened to you about the red roses, maybe he
Speaker 1: would listen to you about other things. It just sounds like,
Speaker 1: you know, he's not listening to you, and the way
Speaker 1: you make a sound, he just does whatever he wants
Speaker 1: to do. You also through and here and hear about
Speaker 1: your attractive to other men, and you don't want to
Speaker 1: cheat on your husband, So that's going through your mind.
Speaker 1: But because you said you feel good when other men
Speaker 1: notice you, you want your husband to enjoy spending time
Speaker 1: with you. It doesn't sound like he doesn't enjoy spending
Speaker 1: time with you. It just sounds like you guys have
Speaker 1: some communication issues going on here because you tell him
Speaker 1: one thing he doesn't listen you know, I mean, is
Speaker 1: he does at least by you roses. So if you
Speaker 1: tell him you like lilies. Have you shown him the
Speaker 1: kind of lilies you like? Have you taken the time
Speaker 1: to tell him, Okay, I don't like these, honey, Well,
Speaker 1: why don't we flip it up? You know, switch it up.
Speaker 1: Anything new and exciting in the bedroom. You have to
Speaker 1: initiate it. So it just sounds like everything is a problem,
Speaker 1: not just the red roses. I think you guys need
Speaker 1: to sit down and have a serious conversation because he's
Speaker 1: not listening. You're not getting through communication, I think is
Speaker 1: your main problem. Steve, here's the problem in this letter.
Speaker 1: It's very very simple, and you said it at the outset,
Speaker 1: which made me not understand the rest of the letter.
Speaker 1: I feel like he doesn't value me. Before we got married,
Speaker 1: I knew he wasn't very romantic and he didn't pay
Speaker 1: attention to details. He showed this to you before you
Speaker 1: got mad. He didn't turn into this dude. He was
Speaker 1: that dude. You married him anyway, thinking you could change him,
Speaker 1: probably like so many women. But like the minister told me,
Speaker 1: one thing, the only thing that changes the day after
Speaker 1: you get married is the appearance of your left hand
Speaker 1: third fingers. Now he is the exact same thing that
Speaker 1: he is being. Over the years, I realize he does
Speaker 1: not pay attention to details. For example, I have never
Speaker 1: liked wrote red roses and he knows it. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: your problem is he do he liked red rodes. Red
Speaker 1: roses do something to him. He loved red roses. I
Speaker 1: always dreamed of giving a woman red roses. That's in
Speaker 1: his mind. So you're gonna get these damn red rods. Hell,
Speaker 1: you don't who don't like red roses? They everywhere, They
Speaker 1: on the parade route. But throughout our marriage, for every occasion,
Speaker 1: I get red roses because he liked red rose and
Speaker 1: he didn't decide a long time ago. This ain't about you,
Speaker 1: this about him. I've never complained about the roses because
Speaker 1: I feel like it's better than nothing. You got to
Speaker 1: say something. You can't be married to a fool like
Speaker 1: this and then don't tell him her fool. I'm sure
Speaker 1: Miss Miles tells Tommy all the time, you're a fool.
Speaker 1: What the hell, what the hell? What are we doing now?
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure she says that to him, Tommy, you're
Speaker 1: a fool, because she no really this boy, Well, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, if you're married to a fool, you don't
Speaker 1: never tell him that. You don't think Madred has said
Speaker 1: to me, why is your ass so crazy? You don't
Speaker 1: think she said that to me oh many times. You
Speaker 1: don't think one of Jay's x Y has ever said
Speaker 1: to him, which black ants don't need to be mad.
Speaker 1: I don't think they said that. All right, listen, you
Speaker 1: know what they want to Junior's girlfriends. They saying you're
Speaker 1: sick again. We'll have bird two of Steve's response coming
Speaker 1: up at twenty three after the hour. You're listening, all right, Steve,
Speaker 1: come on, let's get into it with part two of
Speaker 1: your response to today's Strawberry. This woman, if I get
Speaker 1: roses one more time? You're married a man that don't
Speaker 1: pay attention to detail. You know you're sitting up and
Speaker 1: here you're mad cause head and bought you roses. Now,
Speaker 1: I know Sherley was saying, you know how many women
Speaker 1: don't get nothing? Well, hell, if you're getting what you want,
Speaker 1: it's if you getting what you don't want. Ain't that
Speaker 1: the same thing as nothing? Hell? Yeah, you might will
Speaker 1: not give me the flowers. I hate these damn flowers.
Speaker 1: They thank to me? He coming in ever to red
Speaker 1: roses now she's never liked red roses. She's never complained
Speaker 1: about the roses because I feel like it's better than nothing. Well,
Speaker 1: you should have complained. I've told him my favorite flowers
Speaker 1: on lilies. He may not even know what it, Lily said,
Speaker 1: and surely said it best take by the flowers and
Speaker 1: showing what you like. You're marrid to an ignorant person. Damn,
Speaker 1: when he brought my engagement ring, he got me the
Speaker 1: ring that best fit the budget and not the one
Speaker 1: I want it. When we have sex, if it's anything
Speaker 1: new or exciting to happen, I'm always the one to
Speaker 1: initiate it. I've always had a high sex drive, and
Speaker 1: I told him. But I guess he thinks I've changed.
Speaker 1: I've never denied him sex, even though I only enjoined occasionally.
Speaker 1: Oh so now he ain't bringing it. See, there was
Speaker 1: really wrong we go now. I didn't notice this in
Speaker 1: a letter till I just read it. Not all is
Speaker 1: you coming in here with the wrong damn roses, the
Speaker 1: wrong flowers? You brought me a ring out in life,
Speaker 1: I told y'all had a high sex drive. Now you
Speaker 1: in here and you ain't in here frying this bacon.
Speaker 1: The way. I like getting it fried road. I like
Speaker 1: my bacon well done. You ain't here leaving with all
Speaker 1: these raw edges on this bacon. I like my bacon
Speaker 1: extra crispy. In your asses in here, thirty second microwave
Speaker 1: in this bay. I don't want no Steve Harvey easy bacon.
Speaker 1: I want my bacon fried on both sides, long time.
Speaker 1: You can fry my bacon in two minutes. Two minutes.
Speaker 1: Ain't gonna cut it in him. That's what's wrong. Ain't
Speaker 1: got a damn thing, dude with flower. Everything is wrong.
Speaker 1: He seems bored a lot during sex, and it takes
Speaker 1: the joy out of he bored. He bored because he
Speaker 1: ain't doing nothing. I ain't ever board, you know why,
Speaker 1: because I'm in here with tricks. Because tricks ain't for kids,
Speaker 1: not in this, not in the dead room. Mad tricks,
Speaker 1: chick down. It ain't even rabbit in him. Tricks for
Speaker 1: grown up. And I've got plenty that's around. Had you
Speaker 1: in here doing things you never thought was doable. Put
Speaker 1: your knee up on the nice thing. Hold right there.
Speaker 1: Take that lamp shade off that lamb handed him. Watch
Speaker 1: this what aut Take two corners up of that sheet off.
Speaker 1: Just take two corners off, watching her hood. Put one
Speaker 1: hand on the window, hold on, hold on the one
Speaker 1: but pulling the curtain back. That's too far back. Closer
Speaker 1: just a little bit. I now staying right there. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go back over here by the door light. Bug,
Speaker 1: if you can unscrew that, put some of this. Put
Speaker 1: some of this hot baby on the bottom of my
Speaker 1: right foot, your right foot, well, I'll need that for traction. Now,
Speaker 1: everybody ready, I don't know where we're going. Ain't nobody
Speaker 1: fit to be bored up in the hill. I have ideas.
Speaker 1: Bite down on this hill? What is that now? Anything?
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it now. Surely here's the one mistake
Speaker 1: you made in the letter. You said that she's attracted
Speaker 1: to other men. I think she stated that she well,
Speaker 1: its good when other men noticed me. Yeah, it does that.
Speaker 1: She wants attention. I want my husband enjoy spending time
Speaker 1: with me. I've talked to him about his attitude towards me.
Speaker 1: But he still falls short. That could be the problem
Speaker 1: his height, because that that could be it right there,
Speaker 1: But he's still falls short. He's still fall short. If
Speaker 1: you're a little man, you ain't gonna get all that.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying just in case. That's but if I
Speaker 1: can get rid. But if I get rid roses one
Speaker 1: more damn time on top of his early as his ring,
Speaker 1: I'm then the fact that you ain't frying this baking
Speaker 1: like I want to bring him thought. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the roses. I'm gonna flip him upside down. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: push all them thrones up to where sun don't shot.
Speaker 1: Give me him roses one more dime. I'm going to

Speaker 1: You're listening show, all right, Steve, here we are last
Speaker 1: break of the day on this Monday. Please take us home,
Speaker 1: get us back to work with some good juicy closing remarks. Hey.
Speaker 1: You know, um, I try to I try to be encouraging,
Speaker 1: you know, to people, because everybody wants to be successful,
Speaker 1: everybody wants to be happy. I've been at this for
Speaker 1: some time now, and I just like telling people some
Speaker 1: of the small valuable lessons that I've had to learn
Speaker 1: along the way. And you know, man, I used to
Speaker 1: get bummed out when when bad things happened to me.
Speaker 1: I mean I really did. Look, I'm human, I'm like
Speaker 1: anybody else that you know. Man, When when I come
Speaker 1: up in an attack and I don't think it's justified,
Speaker 1: it used to bum me out. I mean for like
Speaker 1: a week, three four days, you know, I used to
Speaker 1: be really thrown off sometimes because I did not understand
Speaker 1: why the attack was coming. I didn't understand why. Maybe
Speaker 1: sometimes people couldn't understand why I was coming from. Maybe
Speaker 1: sometimes I just couldn't understand the level of hatred that
Speaker 1: are in some people. You know. Sometimes man, I would
Speaker 1: just go a God, come on, now, what is this about.
Speaker 1: I don't really deserve this, do I mean? Am I
Speaker 1: really a bad person? You know what I was talking? Man?
Speaker 1: How are you letting this happen? But you gotta understand something, man,
Speaker 1: everything that you're going through is preparing you for what
Speaker 1: you ask God for. Just know that everything you're going through,
Speaker 1: every single thing, is preparing you for what you ask
Speaker 1: God for, or it's preparing you for what God has
Speaker 1: for you. So what I ended up learning and what
Speaker 1: I do now is like you know, I still get
Speaker 1: bad news and it throw me, but it don't throw
Speaker 1: me into for no days, no more, ain't no two
Speaker 1: days While I'm wallowing in nothing no more. You know,
Speaker 1: you throw me for a couple hours, and you know,
Speaker 1: I sleep on it, and I start praying about it.
Speaker 1: I get myself together, and then I'm ready to hit
Speaker 1: it tomorrow morning. You're not. You're not. You can't do
Speaker 1: anything to me to get me for days anymore, because
Speaker 1: I understand what it is, man, and you know what
Speaker 1: it is. If you saw the size of the blessings
Speaker 1: that were coming, then you would understand the magnitude of
Speaker 1: the battle you are fighting. Do you understand that if
Speaker 1: you saw the size of the blessing coming, you would
Speaker 1: understand the magnitude of the battle that you're fighting. See, man,
Speaker 1: you got to get tested along the way. And no
Speaker 1: free rides and on free lunch, you know, ain't no
Speaker 1: free You know all this stuff. It's not going to
Speaker 1: be easy. You're going to be challenged because two things.
Speaker 1: Sometimes God allows things to happen to you because he
Speaker 1: knows you need the experience of it. And that's just
Speaker 1: the truth. Sorry, but God didn't come into your life
Speaker 1: to tell you that he was gonna smooth everything out
Speaker 1: and you weren't gonna have no more worries. Now, that's
Speaker 1: not what he said. He said he would give you
Speaker 1: the strength to handle it, the knowledge and the wisdom
Speaker 1: to endure, the ability to maintain. And that's exactly what
Speaker 1: he does. And I've been saying this for the past
Speaker 1: two weeks, but I can't stop saying it because it's
Speaker 1: really so good. And the reason you know that God
Speaker 1: said he would give you the strength to endure anything,
Speaker 1: that he would stand with you and make sure you
Speaker 1: got through it, whether you ask him for help or not.
Speaker 1: He's done that to you up until this point. Because,
Speaker 1: like I've been saying for a past couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: every rough day you've ever had, every day you thought
Speaker 1: you wasn't gonna endure. If you look back on it,
Speaker 1: your track record for surviving bad days is one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: And that's pretty good everybody. You have survived one hundred
Speaker 1: percent of all of your bad days. So guess what then,
Speaker 1: that must mean his promises a truth that he said
Speaker 1: he promised to never leave you. Did he leave you
Speaker 1: when you got through the bad days? Na? And he
Speaker 1: was there when most of us didn't even call on him.
Speaker 1: He was just there for us. So with that in mind,
Speaker 1: take everything that's happening to you with the grain of salt,
Speaker 1: absorb it. Know that that's what it is. But know
Speaker 1: that on the other side, he's probably standing right there
Speaker 1: because he always has. And what you don't know is
Speaker 1: he's carrying you through most of it. He's holding you up.
