Speaker:
00:00:00
In this culture.
2
00:00:00,819 --> 00:00:04,329
We always see it's all about me.
3
00:00:04,485 --> 00:00:08,445
believe it or not, there is a
time when it is all about me.
4
00:00:08,612 --> 00:00:12,062
It's when it's my responsibility.
5
00:00:12,367 --> 00:00:17,437
And stemming from that, it leads to my
accountability, whether I like it or not.
6
00:00:17,584 --> 00:00:18,964
There is an account.
7
00:00:19,007 --> 00:00:21,880
And this account will either be a good.
8
00:00:22,026 --> 00:00:24,150
Thing or a bag thing.
9
00:00:24,284 --> 00:00:30,644
And it can either give me a peace of
mind or I can lose my peace of mind.
10
00:00:30,819 --> 00:00:32,006
And even worse.
11
00:00:32,398 --> 00:00:35,698
I can lose my freedom if
I don't get this right.
12
00:00:54,350 --> 00:00:54,950
Hello.
13
00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:00,680
And welcome to a prisoners part in
podcast with me, your holes, me, TJ.
14
00:01:01,460 --> 00:01:05,450
If you followed this podcast,
so you wouldn't know that I'm
15
00:01:05,450 --> 00:01:06,950
mostly interviewed guests.
16
00:01:07,340 --> 00:01:10,820
Who have amazing stories and backgrounds.
17
00:01:11,420 --> 00:01:13,730
And by listening to their stories.
18
00:01:14,270 --> 00:01:21,740
We learn new and relevant ways to help
avoid doing any type of prison time.
19
00:01:21,932 --> 00:01:25,021
As my last guest, Jamal Jumanji said.
20
00:01:25,532 --> 00:01:27,872
Prison starts in the mind first.
21
00:01:27,962 --> 00:01:29,162
So these stories.
22
00:01:29,582 --> 00:01:31,142
Are not just good.
23
00:01:31,225 --> 00:01:35,065
For people going in and
out of physical prison.
24
00:01:35,395 --> 00:01:40,164
But it is good for everyone
to hear and to share.
25
00:01:41,455 --> 00:01:45,995
Now today I have a story and
it happened last week to me.
26
00:01:46,535 --> 00:01:49,895
At the mall while I was
there with a friend, we went
27
00:01:49,895 --> 00:01:51,755
there for coffee and a chat.
28
00:01:52,155 --> 00:01:56,655
Not long after we sat down,
a young lady approached us.
29
00:01:56,705 --> 00:02:01,385
She was a Spanish descent was pregnant
and had a little boy with her.
30
00:02:02,045 --> 00:02:05,885
She politely asked us if
we'd like to take a survey.
31
00:02:06,655 --> 00:02:08,185
, my friend and I was like, sure.
32
00:02:08,884 --> 00:02:11,885
She then asked us if we
heard of God, the mother.
33
00:02:12,905 --> 00:02:14,765
We both said no.
34
00:02:15,215 --> 00:02:17,495
And asked her where she
had heard that from.
35
00:02:17,925 --> 00:02:19,965
She said it would send a Bible.
36
00:02:20,755 --> 00:02:23,605
She pointed us to two scripture verses.
37
00:02:24,175 --> 00:02:29,875
My friend immediately say, you do know
that the use of the term mother is used.
38
00:02:29,972 --> 00:02:32,762
Interchangeably with Jerusalem.
39
00:02:33,031 --> 00:02:37,442
And I told her that you have to
read the whole context to get the
40
00:02:37,442 --> 00:02:41,732
true meaning and full understanding
of what's actually going on.
41
00:02:42,362 --> 00:02:46,591
In this particular story and that
you just can't take out parts.
42
00:02:47,972 --> 00:02:52,292
She just kept pointing to
this one verse in the Bible.
43
00:02:52,982 --> 00:02:57,512
And that was in the book of
Galatians within chapter four.
44
00:02:58,142 --> 00:03:00,212
Now at this time, her little boy.
45
00:03:00,482 --> 00:03:03,392
Was antsy and he had
to go to the bathroom.
46
00:03:03,902 --> 00:03:07,232
I told her, Hey, just take him
to the bathroom, come back so
47
00:03:07,232 --> 00:03:08,852
we can further discuss this.
48
00:03:09,152 --> 00:03:11,612
You know, because he
was just interrupting.
49
00:03:11,642 --> 00:03:13,472
It was obviously he really had to go.
50
00:03:13,952 --> 00:03:17,822
But she kept pointing to the
verse and we said, fine, fine.
51
00:03:18,572 --> 00:03:22,442
I wanted her to go to the bathroom
and come back so we can really discuss
52
00:03:22,442 --> 00:03:24,152
this and not have to rush through it.
53
00:03:24,722 --> 00:03:26,282
So while she was gone.
54
00:03:26,372 --> 00:03:28,802
My friend and I pulled up.
55
00:03:29,642 --> 00:03:30,452
The chapter.
56
00:03:30,632 --> 00:03:33,002
I won't go into a lot of detail.
57
00:03:33,135 --> 00:03:33,791
About.
58
00:03:34,107 --> 00:03:40,917
That chapter or get into the motos,
possibly behind why she was doing what she
59
00:03:41,337 --> 00:03:47,156
was doing, because actually that's not the
point of me discussing this here with you.
60
00:03:47,253 --> 00:03:50,133
Telling this story, the main point.
61
00:03:50,493 --> 00:03:51,363
Of this.
62
00:03:51,663 --> 00:03:59,133
Story into any story you should be
listening to is to learn how to respond.
63
00:03:59,163 --> 00:04:02,043
If you are in a similar situation.
64
00:04:02,310 --> 00:04:04,230
That's your responsibility.
65
00:04:04,260 --> 00:04:06,300
That's our responsibility.
66
00:04:06,330 --> 00:04:10,980
I should say, because at the end
of this, there's going to be some
67
00:04:10,980 --> 00:04:14,160
accountability to this responsibility.
68
00:04:14,848 --> 00:04:19,768
Now, this is when it's correct to
think it's all about me because.
69
00:04:20,428 --> 00:04:21,207
Guess what.
70
00:04:22,077 --> 00:04:24,778
The responsibility is going to be on me.
71
00:04:25,108 --> 00:04:28,048
And the account is going to be on me.
72
00:04:28,288 --> 00:04:29,488
The account, meaning.
73
00:04:29,968 --> 00:04:32,428
It will either count for a good way.
74
00:04:32,878 --> 00:04:34,948
Or a bad way for me.
75
00:04:35,608 --> 00:04:39,748
The bad way is that it
can get me caught up.
76
00:04:40,498 --> 00:04:45,388
Just get me thinking the wrong thing
and making the wrong decisions.
77
00:04:46,048 --> 00:04:48,748
And then it can cost me my freedom.
78
00:04:49,588 --> 00:04:51,478
As well as my peace of mind.
79
00:04:52,118 --> 00:04:54,158
.
Upon reviewing it ourselves.
80
00:04:54,158 --> 00:04:56,858
We found that it didn't
stay what she stated.
81
00:04:58,328 --> 00:05:02,168
Again, this is why it is critical.
82
00:05:02,948 --> 00:05:05,468
That you review things yourself.
83
00:05:05,888 --> 00:05:07,778
So, you know, what's right.
84
00:05:09,008 --> 00:05:11,348
And you keep doing the right thing.
85
00:05:11,528 --> 00:05:15,398
Therefore keeping your freedom
and your peace of mind.
86
00:05:15,791 --> 00:05:16,991
Unfortunately.
87
00:05:17,321 --> 00:05:19,751
The young lady never came back.
88
00:05:20,651 --> 00:05:23,741
Let's just say we won that battle.
89
00:05:23,971 --> 00:05:26,071
And we need to win a lot more.
90
00:05:26,591 --> 00:05:30,161
We need to always check for ourselves.
91
00:05:30,461 --> 00:05:31,301
It doesn't matter.
92
00:05:31,301 --> 00:05:33,041
Who's talking to us.
93
00:05:33,611 --> 00:05:37,271
And that includes if it's me,
you need to check things out for
94
00:05:37,271 --> 00:05:39,221
yourself and look at the evidence.
95
00:05:39,941 --> 00:05:46,181
Now, lastly, I like to say I
found it like very ironic because.
96
00:05:46,811 --> 00:05:50,591
This happened a few
days after mother's day.
97
00:05:50,681 --> 00:05:53,801
Remember she was talking about mother God.
98
00:05:54,731 --> 00:05:55,751
God, the mother.
99
00:05:56,921 --> 00:05:59,741
Again, this was just a few
days after mother's day.
100
00:06:00,431 --> 00:06:02,051
She was obviously pregnant.
101
00:06:02,101 --> 00:06:04,051
She was there for a mother.
102
00:06:04,531 --> 00:06:07,605
And she had her a small
son with her as well.
103
00:06:07,745 --> 00:06:14,165
And also the chapter that she was
referring to, mostly in Galatians four.
104
00:06:14,885 --> 00:06:18,875
It talked about a mother being
in slavery with her children.
105
00:06:19,175 --> 00:06:21,005
And how the mother.
106
00:06:21,245 --> 00:06:22,355
Who was right.
107
00:06:23,585 --> 00:06:24,995
Is standing free.
108
00:06:25,985 --> 00:06:27,605
And that's the message to us.
109
00:06:27,711 --> 00:06:30,081
? That's all today that I have for you.
110
00:06:30,831 --> 00:06:35,251
I'm so glad that you're taking
the time to listen., Take care.
111
00:06:35,461 --> 00:06:38,731
And may you have a weak
field with blessings?
