But I'd like to give this clearance each 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:43.000 and every time on every episode is to understand when 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.160 it comes to the Vitamin D with Dawn Day Podcast, 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:47.680 is it's about shed of light on a good and 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.080 a bad or and they're not so good. Because if 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.200 you want to be better and you want to do better, 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.680 you gotta be able to see better. You're gonna have 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.640 to call yourself out on your staff or you're junk, 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.000 smell the things that don't smell so good. So either 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:03.400 you know where you don't want to go or you 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.000 know what you want to be. Either way, we're talking 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.240 about a three sixty of you. Can you dig it? 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.399 And if you're returning, thank you. I appreciate you, I 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:18.520 see you, I feel you, I do It means a lot. 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.399 I say this all the time that with vitamin d uh, 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.160 this is a journey with myself as well. I'm figuring 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.520 out things, I'm understanding things. I'm realizing how many things 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.560 I probably don't have the answers to but ultimately and uh, 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:36.800 wanting to figure it out. But that's what comes with living. 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.280 And when we think about living, that's a source of movement. 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.080 And in movement, I guess the first thing that I 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.960 come it comes to mind it's like water. You ever 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:49.080 know that water is constantly moving and when it's not moving, 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:53.200 it's like dark, it's muddy. You really can't see through it. 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.520 And I guess that's why they say let's be like water, 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.920 let's be fluid, let's move um. They also say it's 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:04.000 the sheer indicator of life. I mean, we're we're eighty 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:05.800 percent water. So if you haven't guessed it already. I 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.799 want to talk to about some water. I'm gonna talk 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.760 to you about some water today. Actually, I'm gonna talk 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.560 to you about one of my favorite songs. It's called 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.560 Oceans and it's by Hillsong United UM a church, and 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:19.480 we just we're called to dive in a little bit 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.359 of faith because I was talking to a friend over 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:25.000 the weekend and I played this song for her, and 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.760 I feel like a lot of people understanding what it 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.080 means to have your faith and what it means to 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.760 be like water. So let's dive into it. So, without 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:38.080 further ado, it's time for your dose of vitamin damin. 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:45.640 D right with me and get excited about You know, 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.720 music has always spoken to me. I probably had a 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.880 sheer indicator of the relationship of music with myself or 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.240 with me In high school. I went to a all 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.320 Catholic school. I shouldn't say all Catholic. I went to 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.720 a Catholic school and it was all girls school, Mercy 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:06.360 High School, Farmington Hills. One of the things that we 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.720 had this program for like seniors and juniors. It was 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.320 called Cairos now initially as a senior trip, but if 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.000 you were fortunate you were selected to be a cairo's leader, 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:19.360 and therefore you went your junior year with the current 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.440 seniors who were above you. And then it so happens 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.200 that when you become a senior, you become a leader 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.959 for your year. Well, if you haven't guessed it, yeah, 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.079 that was me. I was a cairo's leader. And we 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:36.520 had to um figure out what our symbol was and 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.400 what that was is like what was that thing that 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:43.160 we stood by that represents us. Some people was a bird, 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.960 some people may have been the sun. Well mine was 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.560 a music note. And while we let our group, we 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.240 said different prayers, we did meditation, we we did these 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.640 different workshops. There was also a time we had to 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.800 do a talk. And I always go back and I say, 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:01.200 Vita mun d was birth and New York under the comforter, 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.000 But perhaps it was way before that. See, with myself, 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.400 music has always had a way of speaking to me. 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.120 It has always been something that has carried me through 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:15.440 uh a happy, sad, egg good bad times of my life. 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:20.200 Music has been my instrument of peace truly. Um So, 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.600 in my senior year, I chose the music note, and 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.920 it was because music was always my gateway to be free. 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.039 At the time, there was so much going on. But 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.400 I guess whatever could see him a lot to somebody 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:38.839 in high school, what seventeen eighteen years old? Um, And 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.680 a song that I related to a lot was a 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:45.360 song Caged Bird by Alicia Keys. And the reason why 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.320 I'm putting the comparison of what I'm talking about the 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.360 symbol of my music note and I thought about Alicia 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:54.440 keys cage Bird is that she says, sometimes I feel 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:59.960 like a bird caged without a key. The only joy 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.239 comes from a song, So why not just set her free? 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:07.280 And for a while I felt like my joy was 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.719 with music. It was my way to express what I felt, 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.240 UM to be what I wanted to be, UM, to 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.360 really just get my emotions out because I was always 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.400 viewed or I am always viewed as someone as strong, 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.360 UM got it together. So it kind of leaves you 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.159 a little bit of room to uh, I guess, to 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:30.000 be human, to be in a space where you may 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.320 not know or you're trying to figure out maybe you 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:37.200 can relate. Uh. You know, Beyonce says, who saves the hero? 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:43.760 After she saves the world? Everybody needs somebody. But that's 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.920 why I think I and I reverted to so many 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:50.560 songs and that talk um of just different things that 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.480 have carried me through, different things that I fought, that 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.880 pushed me through. And as I was saying, I was 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.320 talking to a friend like, you know, we all there's 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.760 so many ships happening. I've been talking to so many 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.719 people and they're like, man, that shifts. You know. I 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.400 talked about in the previous episode about this pruning season 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.440 that I feel like I'm in the season where like 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.400 things and different people's are falling away. But I know 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.159 that is right because I see God on folded in 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.320 my life. Look, I'm talking to you right now in 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:21.080 Sherman Oaks, California. So, whether the vitamin D started out 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:25.680 in high school during Kiros or like I say, underneath 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.960 the comforter in New York, right now, I'm in Sherman Oaks, California, 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:34.839 and it took me. It took me some time to 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:40.360 get here. Literally and figuratively. Uh. Literally in the sense of, 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.040 you know, getting to the point of comfortable to say, Hey, 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.640 I am about to go out here for these dreams. Uh. 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.800 Figuratively in the sense of having a different or true 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:53.520 understanding or another level of an understanding of when what 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:58.000 it means when your feet will fail, really let your 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:05.359 faith stand. And I thought about the song Oceans a 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.880 powerful song because I think for a lot of people, 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.160 if you got a dream and the dream doesn't always 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.800 have to be a career, that's what That's what means 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.280 a lot to me in my life. I'm not married, Um, 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.480 I'm not in a relationship. I don't have any children. 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.680 So my next thing is my dream. I shouldn't say 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.160 my next thing. My thing is my dreams. And whether 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:27.240 your dream is your family, whether it's working out, um, 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:31.720 whether it's becoming a famous artist, a writer, a producer, 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.920 a scientist, a new or surgeon, heck and astronaut, whatever 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.400 it is. I want you to listen to what I 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:44.760 got to say, Um, what we're going out to these dreams. 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:50.920 You realize that you're figuring out as you go, like 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.160 there's no road map as to how how you get there, 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.760 because it's your path and the only thing that you 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.120 know that you have to go after is one it 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.880 in front of the other. It's that consistent moving the 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:06.120 same thing. I'm talking about oceans. But there's this thing 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:10.240 because there isn't a blueprint as to works goes or not. 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:11.960 A lot of people can tell you how to get 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:13.680 there because the vision came to you and they can't 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.440 see what you can see if you did what I'm saying. 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:17.960 And so it comes to a point that you really 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.800 have to put a reliance on yourself. Well that's where 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:26.480 Oceans comes in, because in this pursuit of our best life, 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:31.840 our favorite life, or the life that we desire um, 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.920 a lot of things can come our way, a lot 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.480 of things that may seem unsurmountable, a lot of things 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:42.120 that may seem like it's trying us, and you just 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.480 know you gotta get to the other side. But checked this, 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.439 I don't know if you're battling the cancer. I don't 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.000 know if you just gotta let go from your job. 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.559 I don't know if you're breaking up in your relationship, 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:58.079 whatever it is, it's a moment of having that faith. 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:01.600 And you know, oftentimes you're hearing you refer to a 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.520 lot of things like in the Scripture and the Bible, 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.680 and you also hear me say at the same token 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:10.280 that I'm not a Christian. I don't subscribe to Christianity, 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.760 but what I do subscribe to is the truth and 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:16.560 the Word and the principles, Um, and you got to 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.559 realize that the truth comes in different shades. It doesn't 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.360 mean that it's incorrect. It just depends on whichever lens 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:26.480 that you're looking at it from or through. Then whichever 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.959 angle you're looking at it with, and depending on how 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.520 you feel, depending on your growth or your your area life, 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.800 it will determine the shade or the filter that's on 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.400 your lens. Well, here's the thing, Like I said, whatever 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.880 you're going through right whatever it seems like, Oh my gosh, 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.000 I'm not gonna be able to make it. It reminds 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.600 me of the story of Moses, which is gonna lead 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:54.760 me to oceans. When it came down to me, UM, 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.520 in a state of once are ready to leave my job, 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.120 I remember thinking to myself off because I was like, 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.400 what am I to do? I was like, you know, 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.240 all these years I worked at this point to get 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.160 to the number one show, and here I am about 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.520 to step away because I know the vision that God 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.800 gave to me. I know what it is that I'm 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:18.760 going after. And I'm like, it's the middle of a pandemic, 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.719 or pandemic that means everybody is getting let go. So 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.720 many people are dying. The opportunity seem like zero to 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.880 none right, right, But for whatever it's in me, reminds 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.360 me of the story of Moses, because here was an army, 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:33.640 a group of people in mind. You, I don't know 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:37.360 the whole story verbatim, but I'm even as just okay, 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.520 so we can understanding relates. You got all these people 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:44.040 behind you, right, and then there's nothing but water. Now. 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:45.880 I don't know if you've ever been on a cruise 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.400 ship or been at the wave pooler just to a 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.560 point where the water is insurmountable. From as far as 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:56.680 I can see, there's just water. Now. Look, you gotta 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.679 imagine that you're on your feet. You gotta imagine that 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.520 in that water. Depending on what kind of water it is, 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:09.280 you got shunks, you got wells, you got acto push 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.640 I'm talking about animals in the water that's probably as 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.559 big as some of these buildings out here. Catch what 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.320 I'm saying, and you, if we were to put a 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.960 comparison upon these animals are probably like a like the 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.640 size of our our pinky compared to our femur, which 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.719 is the largest bone in our body. Right, there is 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.040 a little bitty thing or how about the baby toe, 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:32.880 and here it is Moses. He's standing there and he's 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.120 looking like I gotta get to the other side. I 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.000 think we all should be a little bit like Moses. 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:45.520 Right because I say this because whatever it is, looking 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.360 at how far that, how wide, how deep the water is, 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.520 there was no other point to go through. So that 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.559 lets you know that whatever it is that you're experiencing, 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.640 it's not like somebody hasn't experienced it before. It's not 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.280 like somebody hasn't gone through it. So to think that 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.720 it's just you in this isolated process, that oh my gosh, 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.800 the woe was me and how could this happen to me? 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.920 No one else has experiences how dare you? Because while 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.160 this story is not the same now, while this story 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.679 may not be forbade them true as far as a 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.280 man splitting the ocean or the sea, but it's to 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:22.000 tell you about what's possible, about what you can do 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.120 when you have no other choice to go through, and 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.640 how you literally have to move that way in your 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.880 life because when something is calling you, you gotta go. 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.760 So that leaves me, okay, move it over to oceans, 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.400 Like I said, that water right as far as you 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.160 can see And the only way I can describe of 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.760 those who feel as though they gotta go out to 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.480 the ocean, it's because there's a pool inside of you 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:52.120 that you can't control. You can't contain it. It's almost 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.200 like somebody has their hands over your neck and you're 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:59.120 trying to breathe. That's all you're fighting for. So when 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.360 you're looking at this idea of oceans, and we're gonna 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.880 go back and forth with the lyrics, right, you called 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.720 me out upon the waters, the great unknown, where my 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:14.560 feet may fail, and there I find you in the 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:22.880 mystery and oceans deep. My faith will stand our entire life. Right, 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.240 we know that if we stand, we stand upon our feet. 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:31.640 But could you imagine what it's like to stand without 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:35.280 your feet? What do I mean by that? We'll shoot? 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.160 The only other way is I guess, like flying, but 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.920 to literally getting to the point where your feet actually 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.640 may feel with your feet may give out. But that's 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.240 what you call faith. That's what you call faith when 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.560 everything around you was telling you one thing, which you know, 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:52.199 you gotta move forward. And just like they're saying, you 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.040 gotta find God in the mystery, because even when you 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.520 can't figure out and how oceans are d How many 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.560 people do you know have been to the bottom of 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:05.480 the ocean. Huh, what the existence is? That's how deep 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.640 it is? Right, and God is like, yo, I'm calling 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.559 you for your best life. I'm calling you for your dreams. 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.160 But you're gonna have to meet me out there. I 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.240 didn't say you had an oxygen pack. I didn't say 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.800 that you were with the four crew, because remember, this 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:22.840 vision came to you. Whatever it is, the kind of 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:27.600 life that you want, but you still gotta go. Then 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.280 out in the oceans, it says, I will call upon 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.680 your name and keep my eyes above the waves. You know, 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.920 it's the whole thing where you gotta say. But God, 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:40.480 and my cousin I died earlier this year in January, 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.960 and uh, we were talking about something. We were talking 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:48.240 about how in life, anytime you put anything before God, 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:54.000 that but God, it becomes negated. It's obsolete. It doesn't matter. 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:55.320 You hear it all the time. I don't know how 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.600 I was gonna make it, but God. I didn't think 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.480 I was gonna survive but God. I didn't think I 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.240 was gonna make it in time but God. But then 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.480 you notice that when you put God first everything becomes 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.320 an end and then I you know, I talked about 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.560 how you know it's kind of similar to the cross 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.640 because it's like an addition sign. It's like the yes 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:20.680 end in your life. Right, But here's a thing. You 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:26.920 go out there because you're feeling like your call but 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.440 still in the midst of everything, that doesn't stop the 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.960 seasons from changing, that still doesn't stop life from happening, 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:37.040 and understanding how you have to coexist on that. So 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.760 what happens you quit your job and you've got some 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:44.480 health issues? What happens you quit your job and what 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:48.680 God forbids you getting an accident? What happens well? And 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.400 the lyrics of the song is saince I keep my 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:54.080 eyes above the wave. When oceans rise, my soul will 0:15:54.160 --> 0:16:01.320 rest in your embrace. What so not only going after 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.880 your dreams from as far as your eye can see, right, 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.680 not only you stepping out there not knowing exactly how 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:09.840 you're going to survive, but knowing that you are being 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.280 called out there? Now the times a're moving because you 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.840 know we talked about with water doesn't stop moving, especially 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.080 as the sun goes Now, you know, the times get 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.800 higher and the waves they start the clash is just 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.880 so much moving. But in despite of whatever you're going through, 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:31.520 you gotta keep your eyes above the waves. And even 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.480 as you keep your eyes of other ways, there's a 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:37.440 whole sense of that peace be still that you hear about. 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.560 And I guess I just don't really think a lot 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:45.040 of people understand how important it is to keep the 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.360 vision of life. See they said keep your eyes above 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.840 the waves. See I'll receive that. You gotta keep your 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:51.720 eyes on the prize. You gotta keep your eye on 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:53.600 the vision because there's a lot of things that are 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.160 trying to deter your vision, try to distract your vision, 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.960 things that try to shadow onto your vision, things that 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:02.640 will try to hinder your vision. But seeing your vision 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:08.280 sees beyond your eyes. It's it's beyond what is exactly 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.040 in front of you. It is the vision, the prelude 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.679 to your best life. So then it becomes what do 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:17.440 you want? What do you really want in your life? 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.080 And it's a testament to your faith because when you're 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:23.479 out there right and you gotta just call on just 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.560 but God, you have to call on God for whatever 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.600 the situation. And it could be God, and this guy 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:30.840 could be the God and you whatever it is, that 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.800 it's your driving sports that you gotta call in a situation. 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:39.480 But God, that's faith. But comes back to how bad 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:43.200 dude you want it, Because as the Clark's sister said, 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.119 I'm just resting in my father's hands. I'm resting in 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.480 that piece. You gotta rest in your peace about what 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:52.200 you want for your life and stop making excuses about 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:56.840 why it seems so hard, because we're all a sman 0:17:56.920 --> 0:18:01.560 fishing this ocean right, swimming fronction air nor we gotta 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:05.200 keep moving, understanding while we can go how we can 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:11.720 still go deep. So what you're gonna do? We can't 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.280 keep squawling or screaming out the whole wall was me 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:17.680 even in the moments of when you feel as though 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:22.560 you cannot make it, he said, But God, it says 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:26.840 that you're gonna call out the name right, and that 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:28.919 just reminds me of how you have to remember that 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:30.880 death and life are in the power of the time. 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:34.840 You have to choose to speak life over yourself and 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.720 understanding that when you are faced with different adversities, when 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:39.800 you are faced with the fact of you going out 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:43.160 in this wide ocean right where it doesn't seem like you, 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:47.320 you could not make it, although eight of your body 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:50.960 is made from water, although that water is the indicator 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:55.480 of life. You have to remind yourself of the plans 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:57.240 the God set for your life, or the plans that 0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:59.200 you have for your life. You know, I'm you know, 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:06.040 I'm a god. Yeah. Yeah. And sometimes it's always talking 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:09.480 about the God and me, the God and you about 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:11.040 what is the power that you have for you in 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:13.480 your life? What are you willing to step out on 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:19.080 so that you can live your best life? Spirit, leave 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:23.840 me when my trust is with out borders, Let me 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:28.119 walk upon the waters wherever you will call me. Gosh, 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:30.639 dang it, how many of you are out there? Or 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:32.560 how about you? Are you out there not listening to? 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.280 God has something you to do? Are you Let me 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.679 rephrase that, are you out there not listening to what 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:41.680 your true passion is? That's the God in you, That's 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:45.280 who I'm referring to. And you have to have that 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.160 trust and ability that when you step with one foot, 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.879 another foot is coming in front of the other. There's 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.119 a possibility for you to keep going and to keep moving, 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:57.359 to keep pressing. And it's just a challenge. If you 0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:59.439 got to pick up your staff and move. That is 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:04.520 the test meant of your faith. You can sink or 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:12.000 swim what do you want? And I think it's so 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:14.160 interesting too, are not interesting? You know? What I love 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:18.840 about it as well is that when God we go 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:22.119 through these things and challenges, sometimes we gotta have it 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.320 all knocked out, so you can only say, is but God? 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.119 So there's no other reliance and you only know if 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.360 you've been through some things. It ain't something that everybody 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:32.440 can tell you. People can tell you from references. Hey, 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:34.399 you can look at today's age, and we know what 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:36.560 God has been doing every other time before that, the 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:39.280 time before that, and the time before that, references upon 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:41.520 references and every tongue and every language in all four 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.480 corners of the earth. Yet we still have this whole 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:47.800 idea what will trust references over? You know what has 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:54.760 been prophesiesed and talked to us our entire life. But 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:59.640 you understand that that feeling in those references and how 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:02.960 that in racist and know that somebody got you. And 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:05.720 then in the lyrics of oceans they say, what does 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:09.359 it say for I am yours and you are mine? 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:16.560 Check it if they want an other And God got you, 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:21.200 you think he ain't got you. Check what I'm saying. 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:23.639 If they're one or the other and God got you, 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:26.800 do you think he doesn't got you? You coexist in 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:29.399 one another, right, So then it becomes about what is 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:31.359 your faith and what do you want? What will your 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:33.560 faith be? Well? Are you gonna let your faith say? 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:38.520 How long are you going away? How many excuses? I 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:43.080 only say that because time is ticking tick talk. I 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:45.760 don't care which angle or whatever you're going through. It's 0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:50.240 always somebody's ocean. There's things in the water that you're 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:53.560 not gonna be able to see. There's giants in there. 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:57.400 There are probably times your size. But when you got 0:21:57.440 --> 0:21:59.440 stories and you talk about what MO was, this words 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:03.919 to separates. You gotta walk with your affirmation, your confirmation 0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:06.960 of knowing who you are and knowing who you are 0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:11.480 and the ability that you have over your life. You 0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:15.240 check it with me because I just, I just it 0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:18.800 just don't make sense to me that you've got something 0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:21.280 that's calling on you and you're wasting time and you're 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:25.800 not doing it. You do understand that you're going to die. 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:29.879 You do understand that there are only so many excuses 0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:32.919
