Speaker:
00:00:00
In this culture.
2
:
00:00:00
We always see it's all about me.
3
:
00:00:04
believe it or not, there is a
time when it is all about me.
4
:
00:00:08
It's when it's my responsibility.
5
:
00:00:12
And stemming from that, it leads to my
accountability, whether I like it or not.
6
:
00:00:17
There is an account.
7
:
00:00:19
And this account will either be a good.
8
:
00:00:22
Thing or a bag thing.
9
:
00:00:24
And it can either give me a peace of
mind or I can lose my peace of mind.
10
:
00:00:30
And even worse.
11
:
00:00:32
I can lose my freedom if
I don't get this right.
12
:
00:00:54
Hello.
13
:
00:00:55
And welcome to a prisoners part in
podcast with me, your holes, me, TJ.
14
:
00:01:01
If you followed this podcast,
so you wouldn't know that I'm
15
:
00:01:05
mostly interviewed guests.
16
:
00:01:07
Who have amazing stories and backgrounds.
17
:
00:01:11
And by listening to their stories.
18
:
00:01:14
We learn new and relevant ways to help
avoid doing any type of prison time.
19
:
00:01:21
As my last guest, Jamal Jumanji said.
20
:
00:01:25
Prison starts in the mind first.
21
:
00:01:27
So these stories.
22
:
00:01:29
Are not just good.
23
:
00:01:31
For people going in and
out of physical prison.
24
:
00:01:35
But it is good for everyone
to hear and to share.
25
:
00:01:41
Now today I have a story and
it happened last week to me.
26
:
00:01:46
At the mall while I was
there with a friend, we went
27
:
00:01:49
there for coffee and a chat.
28
:
00:01:52
Not long after we sat down,
a young lady approached us.
29
:
00:01:56
She was a Spanish descent was pregnant
and had a little boy with her.
30
:
00:02:02
She politely asked us if
we'd like to take a survey.
31
:
00:02:06
, my friend and I was like, sure.
32
:
00:02:08
She then asked us if we
heard of God, the mother.
33
:
00:02:12
We both said no.
34
:
00:02:15
And asked her where she
had heard that from.
35
:
00:02:17
She said it would send a Bible.
36
:
00:02:20
She pointed us to two scripture verses.
37
:
00:02:24
My friend immediately say, you do know
that the use of the term mother is used.
38
:
00:02:29
Interchangeably with Jerusalem.
39
:
00:02:33
And I told her that you have to
read the whole context to get the
40
:
00:02:37
true meaning and full understanding
of what's actually going on.
41
:
00:02:42
In this particular story and that
you just can't take out parts.
42
:
00:02:47
She just kept pointing to
this one verse in the Bible.
43
:
00:02:52
And that was in the book of
Galatians within chapter four.
44
:
00:02:58
Now at this time, her little boy.
45
:
00:03:00
Was antsy and he had
to go to the bathroom.
46
:
00:03:03
I told her, Hey, just take him
to the bathroom, come back so
47
:
00:03:07
we can further discuss this.
48
:
00:03:09
You know, because he
was just interrupting.
49
:
00:03:11
It was obviously he really had to go.
50
:
00:03:13
But she kept pointing to the
verse and we said, fine, fine.
51
:
00:03:18
I wanted her to go to the bathroom
and come back so we can really discuss
52
:
00:03:22
this and not have to rush through it.
53
:
00:03:24
So while she was gone.
54
:
00:03:26
My friend and I pulled up.
55
:
00:03:29
The chapter.
56
:
00:03:30
I won't go into a lot of detail.
57
:
00:03:33
About.
58
:
00:03:34
That chapter or get into the motos,
possibly behind why she was doing what she
59
:
00:03:41
was doing, because actually that's not the
point of me discussing this here with you.
60
:
00:03:47
Telling this story, the main point.
61
:
00:03:50
Of this.
62
:
00:03:51
Story into any story you should be
listening to is to learn how to respond.
63
:
00:03:59
If you are in a similar situation.
64
:
00:04:02
That's your responsibility.
65
:
00:04:04
That's our responsibility.
66
:
00:04:06
I should say, because at the end
of this, there's going to be some
67
:
00:04:10
accountability to this responsibility.
68
:
00:04:14
Now, this is when it's correct to
think it's all about me because.
69
:
00:04:20
Guess what.
70
:
00:04:22
The responsibility is going to be on me.
71
:
00:04:25
And the account is going to be on me.
72
:
00:04:28
The account, meaning.
73
:
00:04:29
It will either count for a good way.
74
:
00:04:32
Or a bad way for me.
75
:
00:04:35
The bad way is that it
can get me caught up.
76
:
00:04:40
Just get me thinking the wrong thing
and making the wrong decisions.
77
:
00:04:46
And then it can cost me my freedom.
78
:
00:04:49
As well as my peace of mind.
79
:
00:04:52
.
Upon reviewing it ourselves.
80
:
00:04:54
We found that it didn't
stay what she stated.
81
:
00:04:58
Again, this is why it is critical.
82
:
00:05:02
That you review things yourself.
83
:
00:05:05
So, you know, what's right.
84
:
00:05:09
And you keep doing the right thing.
85
:
00:05:11
Therefore keeping your freedom
and your peace of mind.
86
:
00:05:15
Unfortunately.
87
:
00:05:17
The young lady never came back.
88
:
00:05:20
Let's just say we won that battle.
89
:
00:05:23
And we need to win a lot more.
90
:
00:05:26
We need to always check for ourselves.
91
:
00:05:30
It doesn't matter.
92
:
00:05:31
Who's talking to us.
93
:
00:05:33
And that includes if it's me,
you need to check things out for
94
:
00:05:37
yourself and look at the evidence.
95
:
00:05:39
Now, lastly, I like to say I
found it like very ironic because.
96
:
00:05:46
This happened a few
days after mother's day.
97
:
00:05:50
Remember she was talking about mother God.
98
:
00:05:54
God, the mother.
99
:
00:05:56
Again, this was just a few
days after mother's day.
100
:
00:06:00
She was obviously pregnant.
101
:
00:06:02
She was there for a mother.
102
:
00:06:04
And she had her a small
son with her as well.
103
:
00:06:07
And also the chapter that she was
referring to, mostly in Galatians four.
104
:
00:06:14
It talked about a mother being
in slavery with her children.
105
:
00:06:19
And how the mother.
106
:
00:06:21
Who was right.
107
:
00:06:23
Is standing free.
108
:
00:06:25
And that's the message to us.
109
:
00:06:27
? That's all today that I have for you.
110
:
00:06:30
I'm so glad that you're taking
the time to listen., Take care.
111
:
00:06:35
And may you have a weak
field with blessings?
