Zoom. I don't know who it's for, but I'ma say how I feel it early. No, what I need to tell you is, baby, your baby daddy out here trying to critique me, baby, we gotta talk about it. Okay? We have to talk about it. Okay. This is the tea your baby daddy. He was like, You know what you say? You know what I'm saying a lot, I said. He said, What like? So if you say it a lot in real life, I mean, you probably say it a lot on your podcast. So I'm like, kind of like, I don't know. And he was like, Well, you shouldn't say it a lot, should you? And I'm like, okay, so I'll see you. One of the ones I have to hurt your feelings real early. What that means is, Baby, listen, get off the yo high horse and step and understand this one true and very livid thing. This ain't your perfect podcast. Okay? If you expected this podcast to be something that like literally, you're not gonna find no flaw in baby. Click that X, okay, click that arrow, copy the link, drop it to the group chat and let you and your homeboys talk about it. You know what I'm saying? Because, in reality, Shalom just out here saying the stuff that really he feeling. But because he got a wedding ring on that finger, he trying not to say, Okay, let me tell you where I come in at because me and him talk about it. I'm gonna be real with you. We talk about it like verbal conversation, not like, what's your homegirl trying to do with your man? You just don't see it. Maybe, if a woman trying to always fill in your spot, but just calling like, that's your best friend around your man, nah, I'ma be real with you. I need to talk to the lady that talked about George. She said, nah. You should never approach George about asking anything. You should always approach me about asking anything related to George. I'ma be the one to talk to George and get George to understand if he needs to know, if he could do that. And ladies, if your man is not to that point, I'ma be real with you. I have to hurt your feelings. That's not your man right now. It's all right, address it, though, but once you address it, go ahead and walk like it like, walk like, you know, that's not your man, and that don't mean be out here, letting everybody put their hand in the cookie jar, parent, I'm gonna be real with you. Like, I hate to say this might not be an episode for you, for your six year old, but I'm gonna be real in the world where they charging 10 year olds for like, murders and stuff. I'm gonna be real. We gotta start talking to our babies. Who determines the age we gotta so parents, this is what I want you to do. This is your charge. If you got children and you feel like some of the things that we talk about, you and your child talk about, and y'all laugh about, I'm gonna be real with you. Let them listen to it. Don't let them subscribe to the Patreon just yet, because we out here enjoying our life that the good Lord gave us. You get I'm saying, and that's on me in mind, you gotta get over that. Because, in reality, what we really out here doing is but really embracing the life that God gave us. And what that means is you gotta, like, literally, take the good with the bad, like you got to take it in. You gotta accept it. And once you get to the point to where you accept it and you take your hand, bruh, eyes haven't seen, eyes haven't seen, ears haven't heard, neither has it entered the heart of man, literally what he's gonna do. We gotta talk about it. Some of y'all coming into the classroom late, and I understand. All right, your baby daddy was acting real crazy this morning. I get it. Little Susie was talking back, bro, you it wasn't your morning. I get it right. Ain't nobody mad, but the devil, I better told y'all that you know what I'm saying. I get it. So go ahead, take a deep breath in, hold it and then I want you to let it out. And once you let it out, I want you to understand that this is the season where God not necessarily looking for you to kind of get it all done on your own. This is the season like, literally for you to just walk like you know that you like literally are called to do what it is that the Lord called you to do. I want y'all to literally come to a place people saying why you're not preaching. It ain't what I tell them. You're not even listening, bro. Because it's a podcast. Like, yeah, I can make my podcast in the pulpit, but there's a time and a place for everything. There's a time to place everything. Let's just say that you know what I'm saying. So it's just like you have to just understand, and I think that's what we don't teach our children, we don't teach our children, we do not teach our children. Can we talk about something? What is vanity? I want you to literally put it in the comments and take it down in your notebooks. I'm gonna be real with you. What I want you to answer, what is vanity? Because a lot of people we all we talk about, what is vanity? Like all is vanity, or wisdom is vanity, or things like that. It's like, there's there's. So many things we can call vanity, but if you never have the understanding of what like vanity is to you, you're gonna be robbing yourself of what vanity is. You get. I'm saying so Ecclesiastes. Y'all know that's my book. I love Ecclesiastes. I can even I could tell you why I love Ecclesiastes from this one scripture. It literally tells you somewhere in the book of Ecclesiastes, and that's a harder question, because normally I get y'all the chapter and the verse be on you. Okay, now I'm out here. Literally, I'm only giving y'all books. Now you gotta go find the chapter, which means you gotta just start reading Ecclesiastes. That's the point. You know what I'm saying. Ask the good Lord to lead you to what I'm talking about. Okay, literally, um, but chapter one, literally, or no, no, the book. The reason why I like Ecclesiastes, it literally is like the bedrock of what it is that I'm all about, the bedrock principle of what it is that I do like, literally, with all the different talents that the Lord has given to me, it's like what it is that I set out to do is empower people to embrace the life that God gave them every day in my life. If that's a conversation, this is why we have moments where you can like, this is why I know y'all not nosy enough. Because I tell y'all like, click the link in my bio. Like, click it. Nobody wants to click it. Actually, I'm getting subscriber clicks that's clicking, like, every month they always go and check new stuff, okay, and the numbers going up. So I know y'all, some of y'all being a little more nosy, but what I need you to do is, I literally need you to click that arrow, copy a link, share this with your homegirl, literally, and let your homegirl Follow Me too. Because if your homegirl follow me, and then, like you might punk out and not want to talk about it when it might get in front of your face, but your homegirl, she, like she out baddest in the group chat, what I need you to do is let her come in the comments and talk to me, because I like to talk to the ones that's not afraid to talk. You think blind Bartimaeus let fear get in the way of him and his healing. Do you think that woman with the issue of blood literally, think about this. Y'all just think about it. Do you think that woman with the issue of blood literally, like allow fear to stop her, to get where she needed to be, to get a deliverance and to get a healing from God. Think about it. Everything has to work together. You know why everything has to work together is because he told you that somewhere in a good book, literally. But even if that's too much, think about it. How, if you think about creation and however you feel like creation was here, literally, however you agree with it. What is creation? Let's talk about it. But before we get to that, we're gonna get to Ecclesiastes, literally, chapter one always vanity, the words of the preacher, the son of David, King of King in Jerusalem, vanity of vanity, says the preacher, vanities of vanities. All is vanity. What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun? A Generation goes and a generation comes, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and the sun goes down and hastens to the place where it rises. The wind blows to the south and goes around to the north. Think about this, Jesus, forgive me. Okay, the wind blows to the south and goes to the north, and around and around goes the wind. And on its circuit, the wind returns. All screens run to the sea, but the sea is not full to the place where the stream. Streams flow. There. They flow again. All things are full of weariness. A man cannot utter it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done. Like this is what I'm saying. Y'all trying to live in the past, bro. Ecclesiastes is that book I'm telling y'all. It's crazy because it call you out. But the scripture that I love in Ecclesiastes, bro, it fulfills you like it literally, just it tell you what you're supposed to be doing. Y'all not ready to talk to me. What has been is what will be and what has been done is what will be done. And there is nothing new under the sun. And it's like it's crazy, because he tell you he's so individually and uniquely made, but he telling you nothing new under the sun, meaning, like y'all out here not wanting. To do certain things. And I'm gonna say y'all only because, like, I feel like I'm in a healed position in that part of my life, not a perfect one. And what I mean by that is, I've been that girl to where it's like, Nah, like, bruh, I don't want to do it. Like, I think of idea, and then I look at somebody next to me, and they doing it. And instead of sitting there thinking like, dang, we could do like, I could just still do mine, I sit there and be like, Damn nigga thing. I'm copying damn nigga thing. I'm plagiarizing damn nigga think like, oh, she like, you know what I'm saying. It's like, bro, what? First of all, who gives a beep? Because parents listen, we know you say the real word. Because, listen, every parent that cussed around their child. If you show me a parent that ain't never cussed around their child, the first thing I'ma say is, you can't be from the south. I'm sorry. I know you. Bruh, everybody that slipped up and said a cuss word like on accident, I promise you, everybody in the world, show me somebody that's never cussed the day in their life. And I would love to just, I would bro you, if you from the south and you never said a cuss word, I genuinely want to talk to you, because I need to know the secret, because it's like, how, how I met a Karen, and I ain't gonna even lie. I'll call her. I'll call her. I would call her Jess, I would call her just cycle. I would call her Jess, um, but what I mean by that is, is, man, shit, how you thinking that she wouldn't like she, she can't go there, but she really from the New Orleans, like, that's the part. It's like, I know you got it in you. Because if, like, I just, Nah, you know what I'm saying. I just, I don't know. We gotta talk about it. We just, we have to talk about it. And the second that we talk about it, yeah, Ecclesiastes tell you there's nothing new under the sun. I've been there girly to where it's been. Like, you think competition instead of collaboration, and it's like nobody want to talk about that point, because that's an uncomfortable point. And I get it. I get it. This is the reason why I want to talk to what's, what's your baby daddy name? I forgot you. Girl, put your baby daddy name in the comments. I ain't gonna lie. I want to see who bold enough to do it. I just want to know, because some of y'all go drag them, some of y'all really just gonna keep it real and just be like, you know how you really do what he's supposed to do. We just not together. You get what I'm saying. Some of y'all might just be like, You know what? Let me go to my spam page because I'm about to run out. You know what I'm saying. Listen, I'm gonna be real with you. Turn the other cheek, literally, today, turn another cheek. Just choose to turn another cheek. I know you. I know your homegirl is getting in the car with the brick right now. Like, literally, nah, I'm talking about the brick the busses windows out. Like, but still, can I tell you something? Don't do it. Don't do it. I promise you, don't do it. It's, I promise you, it's not worth it. It's literally just not worth it, because, in reality, you about to put yourself at risk to deal with something that you really don't even want to have to deal with. So it's just like just choose to just operate in your own land and lead in where they at. You know what I'm saying? That's my thing. This is my thing. If you want to be out here showing your is it soaring? Wait sowing your Royal Oaks. Is that what it is sewing your royal oats, I see now, these are the moments I like to have in real life. You know, I'm saying, that's why I think I am gonna go live for y'all. Y'all gotta get over it. You gotta get over it. Is there a thing of which it is said? See, this is new. See, it's like quotation mark C comma. This is new in quotation marks, question mark, so the punctuation is outside of the quotation marks. That means the statement originally was a comment, but they're asking a question. Tell me if I thought about that wrong, not wrong. But you know, come on, my educators put it in the comments like, this is the reason why I like talking to y'all, because y'all gonna correct it. Girl, you know what I'm saying. You gonna keep it a stack. But you also know how to get outside, enjoy the life that God gave you. That's what I'm saying. Your baby daddy is in my DMs calling me baby. And I said, bro, my birthday present at he gonna say the same place mine is, I'm your gift dog. What move to the left because, nah. Like, you tripping, big, tripping. How you in my DMs? How you coming to the table, getting mad about me, like, enjoying my resources, and you want to come to the table and, like, literally, bring no resources, no literally blonde Bartimaeus literally had the Willet and somebody I gotta talk to. I really think she on nail tech, but she out here, you know, serving tables and stuff, you know, enjoy the life that God gave them. And it's crazy, because I had to tell them, man, listen, I'm sitting at the table. Was somebody's man, and we started laughing because, I'm like, it's so funny because it's just funny to talk about stuff like that. Like, it's kind of uncomfortable, but it keep people laughing. You want to know why? Because, bro, I don't know what she came in there with, and I know this is just my homeboy. Like, he know this is just my homeboy. You know what I'm saying, but it's so funny because it's like she came in and was laughing, like, We're just two naturally funny people, like, you get what I'm saying. It's crazy. It's so crazy. Yeah, Ecclesiastes, good that book. Y'all wanna know the page and Ecclesiastes, I really like bruh. I bro, the page and Ecclesiastes that I really like, and everybody pays different that's the funny part. I know you ain't been listening because I told y'all, like the first I told y'all, like the first couple episodes, like a couple years ago. And I'm saying that's crazy, though it's so crazy. This is the thing that I have to tell people, you have to take advantage of the now, like I don't know who it's for at one point, it literally had to be for me. And I'm gonna be real with you. This is found in Ecclesiastes. No man knows the time, nor the hour. That's not an Ecclesiastes. I was about to get y'all true false, but I wanted to tell y'all just today that's false. Part of that is an Ecclesiastes. It says, For man does not know his time, and they could be taken good or bad, because keep reading like fish that are taken in an evil net, and like birds that are caught in the sand, so the children of man are snared at an evil time when it suddenly falls upon them. I have also seen this example of wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great to me. There was a little city with few men in it, and a great king came against it, and beside besieged it, building great siege works against it. But there was found in it a poor, wise man, and he, by His wisdom, delivered the city. Yet no one remembered their poor man's. But I say that wisdom is better than night, though the poor man's wisdom is despised and his words are not heard. The words of the wise hear, heard and quiet are better than the shouting of a ruler among Cruz Oh, that's a bar. That's a bar. That's a bar. Shalom said it sounds dry. You.
