You know, it's going to start 00:14:15.22\00:14:17.45 talking about it. And I said I have a feeling she might have 00:14:17.45\00:14:21.66 was just, you know, sitting at the piano just wondering about 00:14:21.66\00:14:28.66 what Christmas song, too, right? 00:14:28.66\00:14:32.77 I began to pray about it. And I said, you know what, 00:14:32.77\00:14:36.17 what do you want me to see for this Christmas season? 00:14:36.17\00:14:40.28 And that freeze, that phrase just popped into my mind every 00:14:40.28\00:14:44.65 year at Christmas time. You see me. But do you believe me? 00:14:44.65\00:14:49.28 And I began to just 00:14:49.28\00:14:52.92 kind of turn that over in my mind. What does that mean? 00:14:52.92\00:14:56.12 Why why? Why did that Freese come to my mind? And I began to 00:14:56.12\00:15:00.23 think about how 00:15:00.23\00:15:02.66 times when the missile was going to be expected. 00:15:02.66\00:15:07.30 I should see when the Messiah should have been expected. 00:15:07.30\00:15:12.01 The Messiah Keim, 00:15:12.01\00:15:16.18 nobody was really prepared to meet him and said God had to 00:15:16.18\00:15:19.35 send angels to the shepherds to let them know that's something 00:15:19.35\00:15:24.49 special is about to happen. The end, you know, the same 00:15:24.49\00:15:27.42 kind of thing I find is going on in our world today. You 00:15:27.42\00:15:30.29 know, Christmas has become very commercialized and everybody 00:15:30.29\00:15:34.30 wants to celebrate Christmas. Even those who don't believe in 00:15:34.30\00:15:37.27 God want to celebrate Christmas. And those of us who 00:15:37.27\00:15:40.04 do believe in God, we tend to only take it 00:15:40.04\00:15:43.64 to a certain point. And that point is where we're 00:15:43.64\00:15:46.34 comfortable. You know what, you know, sometimes belief 00:15:46.34\00:15:50.71 should affect you in areas of your lives way. You know, 00:15:50.71\00:15:54.98 a a not so comfortable excess. Very true. 00:15:54.98\00:15:58.39 >> It's really interesting how at this time of year people are 00:15:58.39\00:16:03.02 more open, use virtual conversation. They're more open 00:16:03.02\00:16:06.93 to because 00:16:06.93\00:16:08.16 they're hearing the songs in the malls and you know, that 00:16:08.16\00:16:11.43 kind of thing. And so it's it's it's really a blessing to have 00:16:11.43\00:16:15.87 a song like that that you wrote to remind people, yeah, you 00:16:15.87\00:16:20.51 receive me, but believe me, I want you to you leave me this. 00:16:20.51\00:16:25.45 Is this a deep line? 00:16:25.45\00:16:27.55 Let me ask you this novella. How did you what? Let's talk 00:16:27.55\00:16:31.09 about your childhood first and then we'll come into your 00:16:31.09\00:16:34.42 testimony of funding Lord. So 00:16:34.42\00:16:37.89 we raised we raised in a Christian family where you? 00:16:37.89\00:16:42.06 Yes. 00:16:42.06\00:16:43.16 >> I was raised in a Christian family, 00:16:43.16\00:16:46.37 but I myself didn't become a Christian until 00:16:46.37\00:16:50.81 my mid to late 20's. I grew up singing in church 00:16:50.81\00:16:58.65 and then I discovered that, 00:16:58.65\00:17:01.38 you know, when I was a teenager, I discovered that if 00:17:01.38\00:17:03.92 I saying I could get girls and yes, haha. So, you know, 00:17:03.92\00:17:09.26 I kind of 00:17:09.26\00:17:10.93 went on that endeavor. And then I I went to university and 00:17:10.93\00:17:16.80 started a career in music. And, 00:17:16.80\00:17:19.87 you know, every once in a while, some of those songs that 00:17:19.87\00:17:22.34 I would sing in church would come back to my mind. And 00:17:22.34\00:17:25.97 and then 00:17:25.97\00:17:27.58 my journey to God slowly began by, you know, series of 00:17:27.58\00:17:32.91 circumstances. And 00:17:32.91\00:17:34.45 >> Mike, what we have a little time. Well. 00:17:34.45\00:17:37.59 >> One of those circumstances was that I met this girl who 00:17:37.59\00:17:44.59 my friends told me was a Christian and I knew she was 00:17:44.59\00:17:49.70 beautiful and I wanted to get to know I didn't have I didn't 00:17:49.70\00:17:55.34 I didn't have wholesome intentions will put it that 00:17:55.34\00:17:58.87 when, you know, over the years of friendship developed between 00:17:58.87\00:18:03.78 us and she would take me to church every city, every every 00:18:03.78\00:18:07.05 Sabbath, he would take me to church. 00:18:07.05\00:18:09.25 And I would hear something that would resonate with me. And 00:18:09.25\00:18:14.29 this went on for years and years. And then one said that 00:18:14.29\00:18:19.59 they had me seeing a church and they wanted me to sing an 00:18:19.59\00:18:23.06 appeal song. 00:18:23.06\00:18:25.40 This appeal song I sang was a song that's pretty popular was 00:18:25.40\00:18:29.94 pretty popular at that time. It was Fred Hammond's running 00:18:29.94\00:18:32.81 back to you know. Yeah, Yeah. You know, there was a part of 00:18:32.81\00:18:36.98 that song. You know, on the bridge where he goes. I have 00:18:36.98\00:18:40.62 10. 00:18:40.62\00:18:41.68 >> Taking advantage of the. 00:18:41.68\00:18:43.79 >> He's yeah, right? That's me. You know, I'm the one that's 00:18:43.79\00:18:47.76 doing that yet. And so you're singing it. And and haha. 00:18:47.76\00:18:53.26 >> Look at guys. Good man. He is. So he started impressing 00:18:53.26\00:18:56.80 me that, you know, I'm supposed to accept appeal, but you know 00:18:56.80\00:19:00.17 how? How, how, 00:19:00.17\00:19:01.80 when God wants you to do something, you don't really 00:19:01.80\00:19:04.14 want to do it. You start making excuses and start making 00:19:04.14\00:19:07.11 excuses. You know, I'm already at the front end 00:19:07.11\00:19:11.11 stuff like that. But, you know, I'm happy to say I lost that 00:19:11.11\00:19:14.78 battle. So, yeah, God has a sense of human because I saying 00:19:14.78\00:19:18.32 that appeal to myself and then accepted it. 00:19:18.32\00:19:20.69 >> Appeal he won that except that the people that be so that 00:19:20.69\00:19:26.96 kind of bega attorney. 00:19:26.96\00:19:28.66 >> There's a lot of the experiences. But that was that 00:19:28.66\00:19:31.93 was the first thing that kind of got me started. 00:19:31.93\00:19:35.37 >> It's amazing. Look, look at how God works, though. The seed 00:19:35.37\00:19:38.67 had been planted in your childhood right foot. You had 00:19:38.67\00:19:42.48 to kind of go away from it for a bit because you are, 00:19:42.48\00:19:46.65 you know, you were testing things and boundaries and that 00:19:46.65\00:19:50.35 kind of thing. And then the Lord is really due back in. 00:19:50.35\00:19:53.32 He sure did. Now. At what point did you decide that you wanted 00:19:53.32\00:19:56.83 to be all in for him? 00:19:56.83\00:19:59.43 >> Well, this was several years after that. 00:19:59.43\00:20:04.67 I was struggling over that decision because this young 00:20:04.67\00:20:10.31 lady 00:20:10.31\00:20:11.41 moved away and married a pastor. But before she did 00:20:11.41\00:20:16.08 that, she got me a Bible 00:20:16.08\00:20:18.71 on compact disc. So, you know, my family had raised me in the 00:20:18.71\00:20:25.29 tradition of family worship. Yeah, every morning, every 00:20:25.29\00:20:28.66 evening, every morning, every evening. So I decided that I 00:20:28.66\00:20:31.96 would listen to the Bible, 00:20:31.96\00:20:33.80 you know, in the morning and listen to it in the evening. 00:20:33.80\00:20:35.90 So that's what I would do. 00:20:35.90\00:20:37.67 And I kid you not, you know, the Bible has power. Yeah, 00:20:37.67\00:20:41.37 it's began to change my life. 00:20:41.37\00:20:43.71 It began to bring conviction to my heart. And I began to, 00:20:43.71\00:20:48.78 you know, feel in my spirit that 00:20:48.78\00:20:51.31 I shouldn't be playing in the clubs and stuff like that. 00:20:51.31\00:20:54.35 Because what I would do, I would go to church. And then, 00:20:54.35\00:20:57.69 you know, I play in the evening service and everything. And 00:20:57.69\00:21:00.59 then after that, you know it getting a cab and go down on 00:21:00.59\00:21:03.53 South Beach and hit the club. Yeah, yeah, you know, 00:21:03.53\00:21:07.30 emergency. And so you had your foot in both camps. Pretty 00:21:07.30\00:21:10.33 much. Yeah. Foot in one foot out. And it was kind of hard 00:21:10.33\00:21:13.40 because with this club, there are a lot of famous people that 00:21:13.40\00:21:15.67 would come in there. And, you know, Oprah Winfrey E and Mike 00:21:15.67\00:21:19.87 Tyson and all these famous people come in there and 00:21:19.87\00:21:23.81 sometimes it's it right by the pn on this. And to me seeing 00:21:23.81\00:21:26.58 him play and stuff. And 00:21:26.58\00:21:29.68 but I remember there was this one particular 00:21:29.68\00:21:36.39 when I met someone who told me that the we're broadcasting 00:21:36.39\00:21:45.37 professor, he said he taught broadcasting at his school. 00:21:45.37\00:21:48.70 So I asked him 00:21:48.70\00:21:50.11 if I could due it being a blind person. And he said, Yeah, 00:21:50.11\00:21:54.74 I have a blind students. I said, bring them by the club 00:21:54.74\00:21:57.45 tomorrow night soon. I could talk to them. And he said, 00:21:57.45\00:22:01.05 well, you know, 00:22:01.05\00:22:02.58 she's a Christian man. You know, she would never come to a 00:22:02.58\00:22:05.02 place like this. 00:22:05.02\00:22:06.15 >> We will. What how did you feel instantly convicted was? 00:22:06.15\00:22:11.66 Well, it made me think for sure thought I was honest and you 00:22:11.66\00:22:15.66 know mean? 00:22:15.66\00:22:17.33 >> So I that was a Thursday and then forget it. I was a 00:22:17.33\00:22:20.07 Thursday that Sabbath morning. I went to church and the sermon 00:22:20.07\00:22:23.97 was Hassan First Kings 18. How long will you halt between 00:22:23.97\00:22:29.18 2 opinions? 00:22:29.18\00:22:30.18 >> Play how the Lloyd can target it. He'll use the 00:22:30.18\00:22:36.58 scripted to target exactly the situation you're in been. 00:22:36.58\00:22:41.72 So so did that. 00:22:41.72\00:22:43.89 >> Actually, was that what kind of pushes you yet? I was still 00:22:43.89\00:22:47.46 struggling with it. I'm a little stubborn vote for him 00:22:47.46\00:22:50.63 anyway. So later that year I was playing in Michael Keane. 00:22:50.63\00:22:55.00 He's supposed to be like a famous actor. Yes, Michael Kay. 00:22:55.00\00:22:58.34 Yeah. He had a restaurant on South Beach and I was playing. 00:22:58.34\00:23:02.21 This is Florida yet and then I his New Year's party was 00:23:02.21\00:23:06.01 playing there. 00:23:06.01\00:23:07.35 And I don't know if something just hit me that night. It was 00:23:07.35\00:23:10.62 like the spirit of God was just saying, you know, you want to 00:23:10.62\00:23:12.72 do this for the rest of your life. You know, an 00:23:12.72\00:23:16.36 you know, it's like God was saying, I have a better plan to 00:23:16.36\00:23:18.59 have something better for you. Yes, if you it's like he was 00:23:18.59\00:23:22.20 saying, if you give your music to me, I'm going to I'm going 00:23:22.20\00:23:27.54 to help. 00:23:27.54\00:23:28.74 I'm going to show you how you would spread. The 3 angels 00:23:28.74\00:23:31.84 messages are and the whole world. 00:23:31.84\00:23:34.68 Seoul, 00:23:34.68\00:23:36.24 you know, I said 00:23:36.24\00:23:38.98 I'm going to 00:23:38.98\00:23:40.92 I'm going to give this a try. So 00:23:40.92\00:23:44.12 it was 1998, 00:23:44.12\00:23:47.36 January. 1st, I woke up, you know, I'm in my apartment that 00:23:47.36\00:23:52.33 the 00:23:52.33\00:23:53.36 that afternoon. 00:23:53.36\00:23:54.96 And I said, you know, 00:23:54.96\00:23:57.07 let's see how 00:23:57.07\00:23:59.47 you know how God is going to take my music and use it. 00:23:59.47\00:24:02.94 And 2 years know, 4 years later was my first appearance here on 00:24:02.94\00:24:08.08 3.80, in was on the 3 Angels Broadcasting said that. 00:24:08.08\00:24:14.42 >> He was going to have you singing. Well, a spreading that 00:24:14.42\00:24:18.25 3 angels message all over the world. The world praised the 00:24:18.25\00:24:22.66 law. I praise. Look. So how did you meet your wife? Because you 00:24:22.66\00:24:27.20 have a wife and his son? Yes, I have a wife. 00:24:27.20\00:24:30.07 >> And 11 year-old son was well, my wife, but one of my 00:24:30.07\00:24:35.64 CDs in a record store, my first album, messages from the throne 00:24:35.64\00:24:39.74 of Grace was distributed and 00:24:39.74\00:24:44.68 she was in Louisiana at the time. She went to the record 00:24:44.68\00:24:49.68 store and picked it up. 00:24:49.68\00:24:53.19 Listen to the music. She had actually been introduced to the 00:24:53.19\00:24:56.83 music by a friend and she asked a friend if all of the music 00:24:56.83\00:25:01.60 was like that, 00:25:01.60\00:25:04.13 her friends said, yeah. So she went down to the record store 00:25:04.13\00:25:07.67 and bought the CD and then, you know, listen to it and said, 00:25:07.67\00:25:12.11 you know, I want to meet this guy, contacted me 00:25:12.11\00:25:17.08 and we we became instant friends. No friendship carried 00:25:17.08\00:25:21.18 on for at least 2 years. 00:25:21.18\00:25:23.82 And then after that, we begin dating. And then 00:25:23.82\00:25:27.36 about a year or 2. After that, we got married. What you've 00:25:27.36\00:25:31.09 been married, how long? Well, this 00:25:31.09\00:25:34.46 this month will be 16 years. 00:25:34.46\00:25:38.17 >> 60's 16 year. That's amazing. Yet. Is there anything 00:25:38.17\00:25:44.04 that you would like to say, too, 00:25:44.04\00:25:47.31 our audience like about if they're halting between 2 00:25:47.31\00:25:51.15 opinions, what should they do? 00:25:51.15\00:25:54.42 >> Well, you know that the song I just played is about that, 00:25:54.42\00:25:57.75 you know, God is intentional about every single thing that 00:25:57.75\00:26:01.49 he does. We are celebrating Christmas right now. But, 00:26:01.49\00:26:06.26 you know, 00:26:06.26\00:26:07.30 Jesus came to first time so he could come again. 00:26:07.30\00:26:11.10 And he is coming again to put an end to all that we see in 00:26:11.10\00:26:17.01 this world today. 00:26:17.01\00:26:18.51 And the Father's House, many, many mentions. One of those 00:26:18.51\00:26:23.18 mentions has your name on it. If you accept it, you know, 00:26:23.18\00:26:26.48 say one of those actions has has your name on it in my name 00:26:26.48\00:26:31.15 on it. And so obviously I would say to you 00:26:31.15\00:26:37.29 choose crisis, you won't regret it. Choose crisis. 00:26:37.29\00:26:41.53 >> Amen. Amen. Thank you. So the next on that you're 00:26:41.53\00:26:44.90 going to do for us is for ever Christmas. Give us a little 00:26:44.90\00:26:48.67 background on that. 00:26:48.67\00:26:50.54 >> Well, again, I was sort of sitting at the piano 00:26:50.54\00:26:54.44 wondering what, what kind of Christmas song I could write 00:26:54.44\00:26:58.25 and my mind began to 00:26:58.25\00:27:02.05 move towards the second coming. 00:27:02.05\00:27:05.89 You know, it was like God was saying the bill this this world 00:27:05.89\00:27:09.36 isn't going to last forever. Every time I do something 00:27:09.36\00:27:13.73 intentional about what I do, 00:27:13.73\00:27:17.07 the reason for that is because I want to bring an end 00:27:17.07\00:27:21.37 to what we see 00:27:21.37\00:27:23.87 permanently. You know, we tend to say that all good things 00:27:23.87\00:27:29.31 must come to an end. He had, you know, on Christmas is a 00:27:29.31\00:27:31.95 good thing. We look forward to it every and every fall. 00:27:31.95\00:27:35.58 And then every you know, when to you know, when I was a kid, 00:27:35.58\00:27:39.25 you know, you would counted down by saying Aye 2 weeks, 00:27:39.25\00:27:42.59 OK, one week for these 3 days to do is tomorrow is Christmas 00:27:42.59\00:27:48.03 and you would get you presents, but enough to, 00:27:48.03\00:27:51.23 you know, it would wear off. And, you know, I mean, then you 00:27:51.23\00:27:54.34 would just go back to the way things were. 00:27:54.34\00:27:56.91 But what God is getting ready to do 00:27:56.91\00:27:59.47 is bring us to a point where goodness 00:27:59.47\00:28:04.08 is perpetual and it just grows and move. So you will enjoy you 00:28:04.08\00:28:08.58 grow in love. 00:28:08.58\00:28:09.95 You grew in bliss. You know, you grow in every positive way 00:28:09.95\00:28:14.96 that you can think of and this experience will never come to 00:28:14.96\00:28:20.20 an end game is so it's like a gift that keeps giving. 00:28:20.20\00:28:23.53 >> And then if that keeps getting better days and it 00:28:23.53\00:28:26.53 takes getting big gift that keeps on giving with.

Yes, 00:37:19.10\00:37:23.74 she often choose to tell me that when she was carrying me, 00:37:23.74\00:37:28.31 she would go to concerts and I would be Kit Keenan her. 00:37:28.31\00:37:33.35 So I believe I was I was holding my note in the inside 00:37:33.35\00:37:36.35 the movement. 00:37:36.35\00:37:39.39 And now are you in full-time ministry or would what are you 00:37:39.39\00:37:44.06 doing the ministry? I say, yes, I am an accountant by 00:37:44.06\00:37:48.73 profession, 00:37:48.73\00:37:50.10 but I also do the music every day. 00:37:50.10\00:37:53.40 So that's full-time to me. Yes, it is. Because I I 00:37:53.40\00:37:57.07 remember I went to Oakwood several years ago. Yes, ma'am. 00:37:57.07\00:38:01.21 And they were having was propelled to the was Pound 00:38:01.21\00:38:04.81 Angeles. Get also. And I heard you saying of on the stage and 00:38:04.81\00:38:09.85 I was like is mad because you not only saying Hugh minister 00:38:09.85\00:38:15.56 in debt to me. That's so beautiful. You and the ville. 00:38:15.56\00:38:19.49 It's just 00:38:19.49\00:38:20.60 it's not performance. It's ministry s tell me how is that 00:38:20.60\00:38:26.30 birth to new? How did you come to a place where 00:38:26.30\00:38:30.84 Hugh Minister versus performance? 00:38:30.84\00:38:34.14 Well, I don't have time to entertain anybody. 00:38:34.14\00:38:36.71 I believe in to tame. It belongs in the entertainment 00:38:36.71\00:38:39.65 industry. And those of us were trying to get on the glory 00:38:39.65\00:38:42.35 train to have it. All right. I believe it is an assignment 00:38:42.35\00:38:45.19 from the Lord. And that is not what God has placed us here to 00:38:45.19\00:38:48.42 do to entertain and about. I believe that we're supposed 00:38:48.42\00:38:50.96 to be do what the Bible says Go ye, therefore, so any time take 00:38:50.96\00:38:55.60 a mike into my hand, I'm very careful and it is not about me. 00:38:55.60\00:38:58.93 It's an assignment they got is placed on me, the man that they 00:38:58.93\00:39:02.20 are able to see and hear him and not me. 00:39:02.20\00:39:05.54 So entertainment is not on my agenda yeses. You've had some 00:39:05.54\00:39:10.88 heavy, heavy challenges recently. Would you share some 00:39:10.88\00:39:14.92 of that with us? Certainly 00:39:14.92\00:39:17.32 I was a foster parent for many years. I had to cut about 26 00:39:17.32\00:39:22.29 children, 20 seeing c 06:26AM. I'm a lowly self. My 5 for 00:39:22.29\00:39:27.76 itself. 00:39:27.76\00:39:30.13 You know, there's a lot of power and that little by little 00:39:30.13\00:39:32.70 by the heat, though it meant I did took in these 26 babies and 00:39:32.70\00:39:37.61 Billy died. He he instructed me to take care of them to make 00:39:37.61\00:39:41.98 them safe. 23 of them got to go home. 3 did not. And at that 00:39:41.98\00:39:46.98 point, I want to God, we have a serious conversation and I 00:39:46.98\00:39:49.72 said, what are we going to do? Lord, they are not going to go 00:39:49.72\00:39:52.32 home. They're going to end up being split up. I had 2 of them 00:39:52.32\00:39:55.52 that were siblings and mother. She was not. But I do all of 00:39:55.52\00:39:58.36 the home and God placed on me to become the mother. So 00:39:58.36\00:40:02.66 overnight accepted the assignment to become them. 00:40:02.66\00:40:05.77 Mama 00:40:05.77\00:40:06.97 and I took them a adopted them. Raise them 12 years. My own I 00:40:06.97\00:40:13.58 would say in 2017, 00:40:13.58\00:40:17.35 2017 to 2018, 2017, my son, he developed what they call a ml 00:40:17.35\00:40:23.35 acute myeloid leukemia. 00:40:23.35\00:40:25.59 And about 30 days before his graduation, he was hospitalized 00:40:25.59\00:40:28.79 for treatment immediately. And that's just the second. 00:40:28.79\00:40:32.66 He definitely would definitely fighter and how he at the time 00:40:32.66\00:40:36.53 he was 18, 18, 18. He did go ahead and beat all the odds 00:40:36.53\00:40:41.67 with the doctor said that he would not be able to end up 00:40:41.67\00:40:43.87 being of the graduate. Will that was not true because we 00:40:43.87\00:40:46.34 believe in prayer and then we prayed heaven down. He was able 00:40:46.34\00:40:49.78 to take his self. Farrell is over and walked across that 00:40:49.78\00:40:53.11 stage, though. That was a such a happy moment in his live. 00:40:53.11\00:40:55.65 You know, there was not a tea and not a drag like, you know, 00:40:55.65\00:40:59.12 yeah, dry is and such an amazing day. Fast forward to 00:40:59.12\00:41:04.46 that. About 2 and a half years is where he definitely fought a 00:41:04.46\00:41:08.00 very good fight, but 00:41:08.00\00:41:10.23 4 days prior to Christmas in 2019, but the Lord allowed my 00:41:10.23\00:41:14.97 baby to rest. 00:41:14.97\00:41:16.97 And so for me, I know that many times most speak 00:41:16.97\00:41:20.41 a lot about Christmas, the joy, the excitement and all that. 00:41:20.41\00:41:23.45 But it's not too exciting for me is, you know that there are 00:41:23.45\00:41:27.45 others that can dumb 00:41:27.45\00:41:30.02 that understand and know how that feels. Yes, Buik an 00:41:30.02\00:41:33.29 especially it at that particular at this time of year 00:41:33.29\00:41:37.66 because people usually joyful and celebrating in all. But 00:41:37.66\00:41:43.57 you now have to associate this time of year with the pain of 00:41:43.57\00:41:49.17 having lost a child differently, rather can't 00:41:49.17\00:41:51.47 imagine definitely rough what attracted his mind and being in 00:41:51.47\00:41:55.74 music. You know, I have to be on that side of my mind. 00:41:55.74\00:41:59.18 Festive, I go home. I know what I'm feeling some. How did you 00:41:59.18\00:42:04.55 cope? Would you do 00:42:04.55\00:42:07.79 only by the grace of God 00:42:07.79\00:42:09.66 when they say take it day by day moment by moment. That is 00:42:09.66\00:42:13.43 not cliche. That is the honest truth. I cried when I needed to 00:42:13.43\00:42:17.43 Craig. 00:42:17.43\00:42:18.40 I just stopped when I needed to stop. 00:42:18.40\00:42:20.77 And I acknowledge that it's okay not to be okay and what I 00:42:20.77\00:42:26.01 needed to just have my moment. 00:42:26.01\00:42:28.28 I did not stop myself from having my moment. 00:42:28.28\00:42:32.15 So if you don't allow that, then healing will not happen 00:42:32.15\00:42:35.28 properly food. So I had to 00:42:35.28\00:42:38.52 thank God for how he has kept me the head of the have a very 00:42:38.52\00:42:42.42 strong supportive circle, family friends. 00:42:42.42\00:42:46.36 My parents just amazing. 00:42:46.36\00:42:49.40 My grandmother in her 80's still rises up at 4 in the 00:42:49.40\00:42:52.13 morning. Instead, the prince for all of us all. And and I 00:42:52.13\00:42:55.04 tell you, I COVID by pray. Amen event at prayer. I 00:42:55.04\00:42:58.81 remember talking to a grief counselor once and 00:42:58.81\00:43:02.64 he said when you're going through when you're grieving, 00:43:02.64\00:43:06.82 you should pray about it. Yeah. 00:43:06.82\00:43:09.28 Talk about it. You cry about it. We sit and write about. 00:43:09.28\00:43:15.56 I found most things to be true because it helps too talk about 00:43:15.56\00:43:20.96 it certainly helps to pray about it. You because you have 00:43:20.96\00:43:24.10 to hold on to the Lord 00:43:24.10\00:43:27.07 where the the rest of his siblings now, how are they 00:43:27.07\00:43:30.64 doing? 00:43:30.64\00:43:31.81 Well, I wish I had a wonderful story for you. But the 2 that 00:43:31.81\00:43:34.88 remain, they've gone their own ways. We don't talk as much 00:43:34.88\00:43:39.01 anymore. You then. 00:43:39.01\00:43:41.18 And that's OK, I do believe that they will be the story of 00:43:41.18\00:43:45.35 the Prada cull no others. It meant I leave them in the 00:43:45.35\00:43:48.92 hands of the Lord. And I do still pray over them for their 00:43:48.92\00:43:52.99 safety from where I am, that they belong to God. 00:43:52.99\00:43:56.13 >> And that's so true to Sherry's because 00:43:56.13\00:44:00.70 I know for my older son, 00:44:00.70\00:44:03.94 he was just out there from and Jason to both of them were out 00:44:03.94\00:44:08.34 there. The but Mark was out there from when he was 18. 00:44:08.34\00:44:11.18 Do maybe one was 40. Well, so we can't give up. Rain were 00:44:11.18\00:44:15.52 mothers and we can't stop praying for our children. 00:44:15.52\00:44:19.32 But God has a plan. Yes, yes, he has a plan for their lives. 00:44:19.32\00:44:23.12 And I think one of the things we don't do is we don't really 00:44:23.12\00:44:27.76 realize that there are 2 plans there and the kids don't 00:44:27.76\00:44:32.27 realize we realize that the mothers but the kids now the 2 00:44:32.27\00:44:35.94 plan Satan's plan is that the few comes to kill, still 00:44:35.94\00:44:39.67 destroying, right? But Jesus came that we might have life. 00:44:39.67\00:44:43.88 Yes, and have they want more money? And you know what? 00:44:43.88\00:44:48.38 So we just claim that in the same duties as what would you 00:44:48.38\00:44:51.72 say to a mother out there that 00:44:51.72\00:44:57.36 maybe she's lost a child or maybe her children our way from 00:44:57.36\00:45:03.20 gotten? How would you minister to her right now? 00:45:03.20\00:45:06.84 >> Truth of the matter is that we don't know, but God does. 00:45:06.84\00:45:10.34 We may not understand his ways, but he always knows best team. 00:45:10.34\00:45:17.01 And if we yield 00:45:17.01\00:45:19.11 to that, 00:45:19.11\00:45:20.55 come for to come and be drawn from him. 00:45:20.55\00:45:24.62 I know that God knows that type of pain more than anybody else. 00:45:24.62\00:45:29.66 So it's not that we are alone. He is in this with us. He knew 00:45:29.66\00:45:34.10 from before 00:45:34.10\00:45:35.70 he knows now and he knows what is to come. 00:45:35.70\00:45:38.77 That should be our comfort. And rush trends should be drawn 00:45:38.77\00:45:42.44 from he? Who knows? 00:45:42.44\00:45:44.47 >> Yes, yes, yes. He knows. He knows. And 00:45:44.47\00:45:50.61 we don't understand why things happened the way they do. 00:45:50.61\00:45:55.45 And when they do the. 00:45:55.45\00:45:57.32 >> A lot of times we 00:45:57.32\00:45:59.45 we asked the Lord for an outcome, but it 00:45:59.45\00:46:02.66 sometimes it's not what we ask you to. Actually sometimes the 00:46:02.66\00:46:06.63 answer is no, not exactly. And we don't know why, but he 00:46:06.63\00:46:09.86 knows what. That's the hard part. Yes, the why the why? 00:46:09.86\00:46:13.80 That's the hard part and standing in that place of 00:46:13.80\00:46:18.24 not really understanding not knowing it but accepting. 00:46:18.24\00:46:22.31 Yeah. 00:46:22.31\00:46:23.78 What do you think? He's been 00:46:23.78\00:46:25.91 the greatest challenge for you during this time? 00:46:25.91\00:46:30.02 We are still in the same house. 00:46:33.32\00:46:37.69 I often walk into his room. 00:46:37.69\00:46:41.70 Same way he left 00:46:41.70\00:46:44.03 his artwork on the wall. 00:46:44.03\00:46:48.64 I don't want to touch it. 00:46:48.64\00:46:51.04 That's hard. Yes, not hearing him. Rumble down the steps with 00:46:51.04\00:46:56.75 his big feet 00:46:56.75\00:46:59.01 or even when I go into the grocery store 00:46:59.01\00:47:01.82 having to shop differently, 00:47:01.82\00:47:04.22 you know, boys can eat. 00:47:04.22\00:47:06.22 So I realized that I didn't have to buy as much groceries. 00:47:06.22\00:47:10.96 Do you use the little things that some people don't speak 00:47:10.96\00:47:14.03 about? Still 00:47:14.03\00:47:15.63 make things hard to adjust? I'm still adjusting to the 00:47:15.63\00:47:19.73 noise. That is no more 00:47:19.73\00:47:22.70 to silence. 00:47:22.70\00:47:24.04 >> I hear the buzzing of my refrigerator. Still, it's still 00:47:24.04\00:47:29.34 an adjustment we announce yes, and I I know that again, 00:47:29.34\00:47:35.55 especially being in ministry and studying the word and 00:47:35.55\00:47:39.02 knowing, you know, that God's holding my yes, he's holding 00:47:39.02\00:47:46.03 you up. Yes, indeed, because when you go through these 00:47:46.03\00:47:49.03 situations, 00:47:49.03\00:47:51.63 you lose you, you lose your strain and it's not the end. 00:47:51.63\00:47:55.40 That's right. It's not the end. That's right. And that's what 00:47:55.40\00:47:58.17 keeps me. This is not it. That's right. It doesn't stop 00:47:58.17\00:48:01.91 here. 00:48:01.91\00:48:03.28 We do have hope.

Yes, we don't have anything 00:48:12.75\00:48:17.19 but that but hope 00:48:17.19\00:48:19.53 but hope because Jesus said so got promise. 00:48:19.53\00:48:24.07 He said he's only they. I just know he's they're just taking a 00:48:24.07\00:48:26.87 nap time. 00:48:26.87\00:48:28.57 Remember his time in his not ours. That's right. We may 00:48:28.57\00:48:31.44 count the years, but to God, it's just moments days. It's 00:48:31.44\00:48:35.38 right. And I know one day when those clouds open and mercy, 00:48:35.38\00:48:40.32 yeah, can't wait to see my even said that the suit that put him 00:48:40.32\00:48:43.59 in.
