Hi, I'm Dr. Kim and
welcome to Live To Be Well.
00:00:35.96\00:00:39.30
I am just over-joyed to
have a wonderful wonderful guest
00:00:39.33\00:00:44.24
and not only is she my
boss okay, on Dare To Dream,
00:00:44.27\00:00:47.91
she is the General
Manager of Dare To Dream,
00:00:47.94\00:00:49.84
the host of Urban Report,
our very own Dr. Yvonne Lewis.
00:00:49.88\00:00:55.82
Welcome darling.
Thank you my dear.
00:00:55.85\00:00:58.22
it's such a great
honor to be here with you.
00:00:58.25\00:01:00.36
Welcome to Detroit.
00:01:00.39\00:01:01.72
I know, I know, my
mom was born in Detroit
00:01:01.76\00:01:05.29
and she was from Detroit.
Oh, I can't believe that.
00:01:05.33\00:01:06.80
Really. I have some family here
and so it's good to be here.
00:01:06.83\00:01:10.60
You know Detroit is
on the rise again. It is!
00:01:10.63\00:01:13.27
And a lot of new things
are happening. You can see it.
00:01:13.30\00:01:15.37
Businesses, you know, we
are right here in the middle
00:01:15.40\00:01:17.47
of the new center area. Yeah.
And so we are excited about
00:01:17.51\00:01:20.98
that. But let's talk about
just how good God is. Oh yes.
00:01:21.01\00:01:26.88
Let's look at God. Look at God.
00:01:26.92\00:01:28.88
So let's talk about
your journey. Um hum.
00:01:28.92\00:01:30.39
We are going to start at
2009 and how God has led you
00:01:30.42\00:01:34.52
all the way to 2017. Yes
He has. Alright. Yes, yes.
00:01:34.56\00:01:38.53
Two thousand and nine
was a pivotal year for me.
00:01:38.56\00:01:42.86
Prior to that, I was practicing
traditional Chinese Medicine,
00:01:42.90\00:01:50.57
I had been practicing that for
five years, board certified in
00:01:50.61\00:01:55.74
Traditional Chinese Medicine
and the herbs and my sister
00:01:57.45\00:02:02.72
also had come to Dallas
to live...I was practicing in
00:02:02.75\00:02:05.95
Dallas and my sister had
come to Dallas to live because
00:02:05.99\00:02:09.92
she was ill and she wanted
me to help her and so as a
00:02:09.96\00:02:13.86
naturopath and as a
practitioner of T.C. M.,
00:02:13.90\00:02:18.10
Traditional Chinese Medicine,
I was going to do what I could
00:02:18.13\00:02:22.37
to help her because she
had some lifestyle habits that
00:02:22.40\00:02:25.31
she needed to
change and all that.
00:02:25.34\00:02:27.38
And so she came there
already with a diagnosis
00:02:27.41\00:02:34.72
cirrhosis...Ohh. and she had
only been given about six months
00:02:34.75\00:02:39.15
to live. And she came there
in 2007, or 2006, 2007 something
00:02:39.19\00:02:46.56
like that. She was there
for maybe three years so maybe
00:02:46.59\00:02:48.36
2005 or 2006 she
came to Dallas to live.
00:02:48.40\00:02:52.47
And the Lord did extend her
life and she did give her heart
00:02:52.50\00:02:56.24
to the Lord. Praise
the Lord! Oh, praise God.
00:02:56.27\00:02:59.64
But she got ill and she was
getting sicker, and she was due
00:02:59.67\00:03:05.61
to have a liver transplant
and on March 23rd of 2009
00:03:05.65\00:03:11.42
she had the
liver transplant. Okay.
00:03:11.45\00:03:13.59
And the surgery was successful
even though the surgeon
00:03:13.62\00:03:18.86
just looked a
little shaky to me.
00:03:18.89\00:03:21.80
You know, I knew there
was something else because he
00:03:21.83\00:03:25.23
didn't look pleased with
the way that the surgery went.
00:03:25.27\00:03:28.90
Well...but he said that
there had been some issues
00:03:28.94\00:03:33.54
that she had that were really
serious, so even though the
00:03:33.58\00:03:37.71
liver transplant was successful,
you know, we still had
00:03:37.75\00:03:40.58
to kind of see
how things would go.
00:03:40.62\00:03:42.55
So that was March 23rd
that she had the surgery
00:03:42.58\00:03:47.66
and I would go every day and
be with her and she had been on
00:03:47.69\00:03:52.76
Methodone. Hmm. And so they
did not want to not give her
00:03:52.79\00:03:58.53
anything because then
she could go into withdrawal
00:03:58.57\00:04:02.07
while she was recuperating,
which would have been
00:04:02.10\00:04:04.17
a really terrible thing.
So they gave her fentanyl
00:04:04.21\00:04:07.18
and um, I forget the other one.
00:04:07.21\00:04:11.35
Now how old was she?
00:04:11.38\00:04:12.88
My sister was 50 years old. Oh.
00:04:12.91\00:04:14.98
She was 50 years old,
and we were very different.
00:04:15.02\00:04:18.15
My sister was very street
wise, you know, our mother died
00:04:18.19\00:04:22.72
when I was 19 and my sister
was 9 and so she went one way
00:04:22.76\00:04:31.27
and I went another. I
went the academic route,
00:04:31.30\00:04:33.47
my sister went the street
route and she learned about the
00:04:33.50\00:04:37.84
streets and so we
kind of went like this.
00:04:37.87\00:04:41.98
But after she got older,
we came back together and she
00:04:42.01\00:04:46.38
taught me some life
lessons that were just amazing.
00:04:46.41\00:04:49.32
Her...she had a
heart for people...Yes.
00:04:49.35\00:04:52.42
You know, people looked at
me and thought that this is the
00:04:52.45\00:04:56.16
"goodie two shoes" one and this
is...But my sister's heart..
00:04:56.19\00:05:00.96
Example of how she was...
There was a woman at church
00:05:01.00\00:05:04.63
and she was crying in
the bathroom and Binky,
00:05:04.67\00:05:07.97
that's my sister's nickname,
she walked into the bathroom
00:05:08.00\00:05:12.24
at church and the lady
was crying and she said
00:05:12.27\00:05:15.28
what's wrong, and she was
a young girl, she had gotten
00:05:15.31\00:05:19.61
evicted from her
place, had nowhere to go.
00:05:19.65\00:05:21.42
My sister brought her into
her home, gave her her room
00:05:21.45\00:05:25.75
and my sister
slept on the couch.
00:05:25.79\00:05:28.32
What? That's the
kind of person...see
00:05:28.36\00:05:30.23
now I think I am a nice person,
but I am sorry Lord help me,
00:05:30.26\00:05:34.66
I'm just not
that...give up my own room.
00:05:34.70\00:05:38.43
This was a stranger? A stranger.
00:05:38.47\00:05:40.24
Wow. She didn't even know...
she just met her at church.
00:05:40.27\00:05:43.54
Wow. That day. So that's
the kind of heart she had.
00:05:43.57\00:05:48.24
Pure. Pure, giving, just,
she would do anything for you.
00:05:48.28\00:05:52.58
So March 23rd she had
the surgery and they were
00:05:52.61\00:05:57.62
giving her medication to keep
her from going into withdrawal,
00:05:57.65\00:06:01.89
unfortunately, I
believe they over medicated her
00:06:01.92\00:06:06.76
because she never really came
out from under the anesthesia,
00:06:06.80\00:06:10.77
she never really
came back. Really!
00:06:10.80\00:06:13.03
And as a result of that,
on May 9th, she passed away.
00:06:13.07\00:06:19.04
I am so sorry. And I was
devastated because she was like
00:06:19.07\00:06:26.05
my child, there were
so many years difference
00:06:26.08\00:06:28.42
and she always looked up to
me as her big sister and all.
00:06:28.45\00:06:33.72
It was just the
two of you? Um hum.
00:06:33.76\00:06:35.19
Ohh. So, even thinking about it
now...its been all these years,
00:06:35.22\00:06:40.90
I miss my sister. I know.
There is something so special
00:06:40.93\00:06:45.53
about sisters, you know,
you have the same parents and
00:06:45.57\00:06:49.20
history you know. Yes, yes yes.
00:06:49.24\00:06:51.57
So, long story short,
that was just devastating to me
00:06:51.61\00:06:57.81
and I tried to deal with
her loss and in the mean time
00:06:57.85\00:07:03.49
I was dealing with some
career issues as well because
00:07:03.52\00:07:08.02
I had heard one of my friends
had told me that acupuncture
00:07:08.06\00:07:12.36
was of the devil.
00:07:12.39\00:07:14.13
And I said, no it's not.
And I mean my flesh rose up,
00:07:14.16\00:07:17.80
I was just, I just got so angry
because I was trained in that,
00:07:17.83\00:07:21.94
board certified in it,
so I knew what I was doing,
00:07:21.97\00:07:24.47
"Praise the Lord"
and I am like you Dr. Kim
00:07:24.51\00:07:28.78
you are a perfectionist, you
want it done just a certain way.
00:07:28.81\00:07:32.55
Whatever you do...Yes.
Yes. You do that all to the
00:07:32.58\00:07:36.65
Glory of God and you do it
with a standard of excellence...
00:07:36.69\00:07:39.45
Yes...And that is my
goal too, to do what I do
00:07:39.49\00:07:44.29
with a high
standard, and so in school,
00:07:44.33\00:07:47.60
I was like on it in
school... Praise the Lord...
00:07:47.63\00:07:50.57
I mean, I just learned
that discipline, but what I
00:07:50.60\00:07:55.07
didn't learn were the
spiritualistic underpinnings...
00:07:55.10\00:08:01.18
Umm...Of acupuncture.
I never really knew that.
00:08:01.21\00:08:04.51
So when my friend came at
me with that, my friend Yolanda
00:08:04.55\00:08:07.48
whom I love dearly. Ok.
00:08:07.52\00:08:08.85
We are back together, we had
a little split for minute... OK.
00:08:08.88\00:08:11.75
But we are back together.
00:08:11.79\00:08:13.12
When she came at me with that, I
was like no, I know this stuff,
00:08:13.15\00:08:17.99
I was trained in this
and I know what I am doing
00:08:18.03\00:08:21.66
and it is not from the devil.
And I prayed over my patients
00:08:21.70\00:08:24.77
first, I guess the Lord was
like this poor child. Yes, yes.
00:08:24.80\00:08:27.80
I prayed over my patients
and I would just go and do it
00:08:27.84\00:08:32.37
and that would be it.
00:08:32.41\00:08:34.54
I would see things that
were so strange on my table...
00:08:34.58\00:08:39.81
Like sometimes when I did
there was a certain protocol
00:08:39.85\00:08:42.48
that I did to relax my patients.
Yes. And I would put a needle in
00:08:42.52\00:08:46.45
part 7, which is this
place here...this point here,
00:08:46.49\00:08:51.23
and it was just a
protocol around the body.
00:08:51.26\00:08:53.56
And they would tell me
later that they saw colors
00:08:53.60\00:08:59.33
or they felt energy
moving. And I would think well
00:08:59.37\00:09:05.61
that's kind of strange
but you know, maybe it's just
00:09:05.64\00:09:08.54
relaxing them and all that
like what was I thinking. Wow.
00:09:08.58\00:09:12.21
So anyway, I found
out through various means,
00:09:12.25\00:09:18.69
the Lord sent me information
about it and I had to make a
00:09:18.72\00:09:24.73
decision. Ninety five
percent of my income came from
00:09:24.76\00:09:29.33
acupuncture even though I am
a naturopathic doctor as well,
00:09:29.36\00:09:32.60
the bulk of my income was from
acupuncture and when the Lord
00:09:32.63\00:09:38.74
let me know that it was spirit-
ualism based on astrology...
00:09:38.77\00:09:44.21
Acupuncture is
based on astrology. Hmm.
00:09:44.25\00:09:48.28
And that's what I didn't learn
is school, because had they
00:09:48.32\00:09:51.42
told me that, I would
have been out of there.
00:09:51.45\00:09:52.79
You would have been gone.
Because we're forbidden to
00:09:52.82\00:09:54.82
deal with
astrology. That's right.
00:09:54.86\00:09:56.19
And you are probably going
to get some letters and calls
00:09:56.22\00:09:59.06
about this from people who are
going to acupuncturist who are
00:09:59.09\00:10:02.20
saying, well it works
it helps me. Yes it works,
00:10:02.23\00:10:06.10
but as my friend's
husband Dr. Schubert Palmer...
00:10:06.13\00:10:09.97
my friend is Yolanda Palmer too,
00:10:10.01\00:10:12.34
and she said...I had a
talk with her husband one day
00:10:12.37\00:10:16.75
and he said, I'm sure it
does work, but what's the
00:10:16.78\00:10:20.52
power behind it? Come on. Ohh.
00:10:20.55\00:10:23.18
And that stuck with me
and I thought, you know what,
00:10:23.22\00:10:26.96
I need to look into this
and I did and I found out
00:10:26.99\00:10:29.49
and that was it. As soon
as I knew the real source
00:10:29.52\00:10:35.50
of this discipline, the
Lord laid it on my heart,
00:10:35.53\00:10:40.54
walk away from it, touch
not, come out of her my people
00:10:40.57\00:10:45.07
and touch not the unclean thing.
00:10:45.11\00:10:46.84
Can a corrupt tree
yield good fruit? Um mum.
00:10:46.88\00:10:50.81
The Bible says, can a corrupt
tree yield good fruit? No, no.
00:10:50.85\00:10:54.35
No, so I had to walk away
from it. Now what year was this?
00:10:54.38\00:11:00.19
Two thousand nine...all this
was 2009... All this was 2009.
00:11:00.22\00:11:03.26
My goodness. When the bottom
just dropped out from under me.
00:11:03.29\00:11:07.00
Well, but not really.
Ok. Because as I contin...
00:11:07.03\00:11:14.70
right after I decided to
walk away, I knew that God was
00:11:14.74\00:11:19.41
telling me to leave it and there
were people who were telling
00:11:19.44\00:11:22.68
me, why are you doing
that? Why are you leaving this?
00:11:22.71\00:11:27.32
What are you going
to do and all of that?
00:11:27.35\00:11:29.12
I knew that if God was
telling me to leave it,
00:11:29.15\00:11:31.12
He was going to take care of me.
Take care of you all the way.
00:11:31.15\00:11:33.42
Dr. Kim. Yes. I was in an
expensive apartment building
00:11:33.46\00:11:38.53
in Dallas...Yes. Every
month my rent was taken care of,
00:11:38.56\00:11:43.47
Every month. Whether it
was through...One month,
00:11:43.50\00:11:47.97
the first month after I left
acupuncture, I had not resigned
00:11:48.00\00:11:52.97
my lease and there was
an incentive for re-signing
00:11:53.01\00:11:56.98
that you got a free month.
What. So I got a free month
00:11:57.01\00:12:01.28
and the rent there was like
expensive, it was one of those
00:12:01.32\00:12:04.45
luxury type apartments so
it wasn't cheap. Yes, yes.
00:12:04.49\00:12:08.12
But every month God
took care of me. Look at God!
00:12:08.16\00:12:13.03
Look at how if He
tells you to do something,
00:12:13.06\00:12:16.03
and you do it, He's not going
to say, ok, you are on you own.
00:12:16.06\00:12:20.77
No, or leave you there.
No, no, He took care of me
00:12:20.80\00:12:25.27
and Dr. Sussel Bailey...
I had written a book called
00:12:25.31\00:12:31.18
Great Days Nine Principles
To Revolutionize Your Life.
00:12:31.21\00:12:34.02
And Dr. Sussel Bailey in
the Dallas area had me come...
00:12:34.05\00:12:39.32
I developed a lifestyle program
and he had me come to his office
00:12:39.35\00:12:42.92
and teach some of his
patients these principles. Yes.
00:12:42.96\00:12:47.43
So I got to work that way,
and so then that same book...
00:12:47.46\00:12:52.33
Cause I hurried up and finished
that book when I walked away
00:12:52.37\00:12:54.60
from Acupuncture, I
was like Lord I have to...
00:12:54.64\00:12:56.67
What am I going to do and He
just showed me finish the book,
00:12:56.71\00:12:59.34
finish the book. I
finished that book,
00:12:59.37\00:13:01.08
C.A. Murray from 3ABN, I talked
to him and he said come on out
00:13:01.11\00:13:07.05
and I'm going to
interview you about your book.
00:13:07.08\00:13:09.75
And I said Praise God, because
then I could talk to more people
00:13:09.78\00:13:14.12
about the book. Yes,
that's true, definitely. And get
00:13:14.16\00:13:15.86
some invitations to come
to some different churches and
00:13:15.89\00:13:20.10
all that stuff. So I
was like ok, this is great,
00:13:20.13\00:13:23.00
thank you Lord, thank you.
00:13:23.03\00:13:24.37
So I went out to 3ABN and
Pr. Murray had to go out of town
00:13:24.40\00:13:30.01
so he asked Danny
Shelton to interview me. Oh...
00:13:30.04\00:13:34.28
So Danny interviewed
me, and this was in 2010,
00:13:34.31\00:13:39.45
this was in
2010, he interviewed me
00:13:39.48\00:13:43.85
and we began to talk and he
had co-founded an urban network
00:13:43.89\00:13:51.26
called World of Praise
with Pr. Whintley Phipps.
00:13:51.29\00:13:53.96
Ok. And Pr. Whintley
Phipps was heading it, but
00:13:54.00\00:13:56.87
he's very busy, his
schedule didn't allow him to
00:13:56.90\00:13:59.23
really do it, so it
just kind of laid dormant.
00:13:59.27\00:14:02.20
Umm. So Danny said to me one
day, I feel impressed that you
00:14:02.24\00:14:08.61
should head the
Urban Network for 3ABN.
00:14:08.64\00:14:12.55
And I was like, it had
never crossed my mind to do
00:14:12.58\00:14:18.65
something like that on
that kind of a scale...
00:14:18.69\00:14:21.16
Now I've been on
television before...Sure.
00:14:21.19\00:14:23.22
And I've had a singing
career and all that and so I was
00:14:23.26\00:14:26.80
no stranger to television
per-se but not to administering
00:14:26.83\00:14:33.74
a network and starting from
scratch because that's where
00:14:33.77\00:14:37.37
it started from
basic...we didn't do any of the
00:14:37.41\00:14:40.41
Word of Praise programming,
we just started from scratch.
00:14:40.44\00:14:44.05
God gave me the concepts
for programs, the titles for
00:14:44.08\00:14:48.18
programs, introduced
me to you and Arthur. Yes.
00:14:48.22\00:14:51.95
And you guys did Making
it Work... I, you know...
00:14:51.99\00:14:56.26
You are not supposed to
have favorites but you know,
00:14:56.29\00:14:59.13
you are one of my
favorites. I appreciate that.
00:14:59.16\00:15:00.63
You know that Dr.
Kim, you know I love you.
00:15:00.66\00:15:02.76
Wasn't Making it Work
one of the first ones.
00:15:02.80\00:15:04.13
It was one of the first
ones. Ray Young produced it
00:15:04.17\00:15:07.77
out of the
Michigan area. Yes, yes.
00:15:07.80\00:15:09.94
And he had told me
about you guys. Yes.
00:15:09.97\00:15:12.34
And I said, well I have to meet
them because I had to needed
00:15:12.37\00:15:14.84
to see for myself. I loved
the way you and Arthur bantered,
00:15:14.88\00:15:20.18
I loved the content. You
just did an outstanding job...
00:15:20.22\00:15:24.02
We appreciate you. So I publicly
thank you for all the you did.
00:15:24.05\00:15:27.59
You know how much Arthur loved
you. I love you too. Oh, I am.
00:15:27.62\00:15:30.36
We loved Arthur too.
00:15:30.39\00:15:32.99
And so I just...I can't
get over how God is so merciful
00:15:33.03\00:15:41.37
and how when we do
just what He says to do...
00:15:41.40\00:15:45.71
There's that reward that
we don't see it. That's right.
00:15:45.74\00:15:48.74
We don't have to see it, we
know that we have a faithful God
00:15:48.78\00:15:52.41
who's never let us down. I am
one of those old sayings now...
00:15:52.45\00:15:55.28
Come on you know I'm going to
00:15:55.32\00:15:57.52
We know that He will not let us
down if we just do what He says
00:15:57.55\00:16:03.16
to do. Yes, He will orchestrate
everything. Everything.
00:16:03.19\00:16:06.83
I remember when you came
to Lake Region Camp Meeting
00:16:06.86\00:16:09.23
and you got up to speak
and you were talking about
00:16:09.26\00:16:11.97
Dare to Dream. And when you
came down, a lot of people were
00:16:12.00\00:16:14.47
coming at you and
I got up to meet you
00:16:14.50\00:16:16.97
and the Lord said sit
down because I am going to
00:16:17.01\00:16:20.14
bring her to you.
Just like that. Wow!
00:16:20.18\00:16:22.94
Arthur looked at me, he says
I thought you were going to go
00:16:22.98\00:16:24.81
meet her. And I said Arthur,
no the Lord said in time,
00:16:24.85\00:16:28.98
these were His words
"I will bring her to you."
00:16:29.02\00:16:31.79
Wow. So I never saw you
on the grounds anymore that
00:16:31.82\00:16:35.72
afternoon... Never. Never
was introduced to you and God
00:16:35.76\00:16:39.86
orchestrated the
entire...He will do it. He will.
00:16:39.89\00:16:42.50
In His time and in
His way. He did. He did.
00:16:42.53\00:16:45.67
He did, He brought you
and Arthur...you guys from the
00:16:45.70\00:16:49.00
outset, we just
loved what you did.
00:16:49.04\00:16:51.61
I never expected that
phone called like what...
00:16:51.64\00:16:53.78
and I prayed to the Lord
to do...because I wanted to
00:16:53.81\00:16:57.05
use our gifts and
talents for the Lord.
00:16:57.08\00:16:59.71
Um hum. I didn't want
to do secular television
00:16:59.75\00:17:01.78
and I said Lord, please
use our talents for you.
00:17:01.82\00:17:05.35
So we just was
feeling... when we saw you there
00:17:05.39\00:17:08.62
and you were on fire
and excited and I was like,
00:17:08.66\00:17:11.26
who is this person? because
I didn't know who you were
00:17:11.29\00:17:13.96
and I said God,
some day we will meet.
00:17:14.00\00:17:18.70
He sure did it, and you
are one of the first programs
00:17:18.73\00:17:22.07
on Dare to
Dream. Isn't it amazing.
00:17:22.10\00:17:24.57
And when we
started, you started.
00:17:24.61\00:17:26.34
Isn't that
amazing? Just about. Um hum.
00:17:26.37\00:17:28.04
Only God. And
we've been going since
00:17:28.08\00:17:30.21
two thousand ten, we launched
in 2011 and we've just been
00:17:30.25\00:17:35.72
going strong by
the grace of God.
00:17:35.75\00:17:37.99
And the programming, I am
so thankful that even though
00:17:38.02\00:17:42.06
brother Arthur is not
here, you're continuing with
00:17:42.09\00:17:45.43
Live to be Well. Which
this program is just wonderful
00:17:45.46\00:17:48.96
and I know the viewers
are going to be blessed by the
00:17:49.00\00:17:51.20
different guests that you
have.. I'm excited for you.
00:17:51.23\00:17:54.24
I am just
thankful that you are open,
00:17:54.27\00:17:56.00
you are such a visionary.
00:17:56.04\00:17:57.61
How does that pour into your
sons? because you are like me
00:17:57.64\00:18:03.51
you're just going, going, going,
the energizer bunny rabbit.
00:18:03.55\00:18:07.12
Yeah. How old
is...I know Jason. Yes.
00:18:07.15\00:18:10.39
And he has this
ministry, and what God has done.
00:18:10.42\00:18:13.82
Look at God and Jason's...
Look at God. Look at God.
00:18:13.86\00:18:17.19
Oh my goodness. Look at God.
00:18:17.23\00:18:18.79
I know tears have just come
to your eyes to see him work
00:18:18.83\00:18:22.16
with you. What is like to have
him work side by side with you?
00:18:22.20\00:18:25.73
You know Dr.
Kim, he is so easy...
00:18:25.77\00:18:29.17
we share a little bitty
office, we're together all day
00:18:29.20\00:18:33.68
and we get along so
great. He is the nicest person
00:18:33.71\00:18:39.01
I don't know anybody
who doesn't like Jason. Wow.
00:18:39.05\00:18:42.75
He's the nicest guy and
he is serious about the Lord
00:18:42.78\00:18:46.22
and to see where he came from...
Because he was out of the church
00:18:46.25\00:18:51.09
and he's given...shared his
testimony with you... Oh yes.
00:18:51.13\00:18:54.06
He was out of the
church, away from the Lord
00:18:54.10\00:18:56.73
and to see how God has
brought him to Himself.
00:18:56.77\00:19:00.44
I am just like, thank
you Lord. Look at God.
00:19:00.47\00:19:03.71
I know, look at God, that's all
that you can say is look at God.
00:19:03.74\00:19:05.57
And then I have an older
son. Now what's his name? Mark.
00:19:05.61\00:19:08.34
Mark. Mark for years I
have been praying for Mark,
00:19:08.38\00:19:16.38
praying for him because his
life has taken some interesting
00:19:16.42\00:19:20.26
turns and he just for
awhile he wasn't interested
00:19:20.29\00:19:25.69
in spiritual conversation.
He just wasn't interested in it
00:19:25.73\00:19:29.40
and I would keep praying
for him every day at noon.
00:19:29.43\00:19:32.63
My clock is set to pray
for certain people and Mark
00:19:32.67\00:19:37.91
was one of them.
00:19:37.94\00:19:39.47
Is he in Dallas area
still? Well let me tell you.
00:19:39.51\00:19:42.94
Alright. When I moved. I
moved recently from Marion to
00:19:42.98\00:19:47.58
West Frankfort and my
son Mark came to pack me up.
00:19:47.62\00:19:52.42
And he said mom, I'm just
tired of the life that I've been
00:19:52.45\00:19:58.46
living. What? Girl, I'm
getting ready to get emotional.
00:19:58.49\00:20:02.46
Oh my goodness. And
so he has stayed at 3ABN,
00:20:02.50\00:20:07.24
he's studying for baptism.
00:20:07.27\00:20:11.27
He's studying with Pr.
John Lomacang and he is working
00:20:11.31\00:20:17.55
in audio...in radio as an
audio editor and look at God.
00:20:17.61\00:20:22.18
So Mark is there with you...
So Mark is here with me too.
00:20:22.22\00:20:26.76
I didn't know that. Mark
is there, he has been there
00:20:26.79\00:20:29.82
for I want to say
six months now. What!
00:20:29.86\00:20:33.90
Yes. So for all of the mothers
who are praying for their
00:20:33.93\00:20:38.43
children, don't give up.
Don't give up because years
00:20:38.47\00:20:42.07
ago God told me He was
going to save my children
00:20:42.10\00:20:45.07
and I believed Him. When He
spoke to me, I knew it was God
00:20:45.11\00:20:50.61
and I was like...cause I
was crying about something
00:20:50.65\00:20:54.15
that had happened with
Mark and I stopped crying.
00:20:54.18\00:20:58.22
Cause the Lord said, I
am going to save him. Yes!
00:20:58.25\00:21:00.76
So what am I going to cry for.
00:21:00.79\00:21:02.92
And it's taken all of these
years and he's still a work
00:21:02.96\00:21:06.63
in progress. He's still
got some things that he is
00:21:06.66\00:21:08.86
dealing with, but God is
going to bring him through.
00:21:08.90\00:21:11.40
He is a faithful God,
He will not let you down.
00:21:11.43\00:21:15.60
He just won't. And
you can sit back and say
00:21:15.64\00:21:20.11
You know won't He
do it? "Look at God"
00:21:20.14\00:21:23.95
Exceedingly and abundantly
00:21:23.98\00:21:26.11
more that we could
ask or think. Come on.
00:21:26.15\00:21:29.22
Ah, we're preaching up in
here. Don't start. Don't start.
00:21:29.25\00:21:31.59
Aren't we now. We
are preaching up in here?
00:21:31.62\00:21:33.59
I can feel this. Yes indeed.
00:21:33.62\00:21:35.02
He will go over and
above... I mean not save one son
00:21:35.06\00:21:37.33
and He brought both of
them with you. Both with me.
00:21:37.36\00:21:41.06
I have both my boys
with me. What a peace.
00:21:41.10\00:21:43.50
Oh, and what a joy to
be able to talk to them...
00:21:43.53\00:21:47.40
But the other
night my son said to me,
00:21:47.44\00:21:49.60
do you know any good
sermons I could listen to?
00:21:49.64\00:21:51.81
I'm like...If you
knew how he used to be,
00:21:51.84\00:21:54.28
he didn't want to
hear about anything.
00:21:54.31\00:21:55.64
Now he's asking me
about a good sermon.
00:21:55.68\00:21:58.01
I'm like, Lord, thank you.
Look at that. Look at that.
00:21:58.05\00:22:01.48
Look at God. God
is...He is moving.
00:22:01.52\00:22:04.12
Does he have a
background in Radio?
00:22:04.15\00:22:05.55
No, no, no, he's being
trained. Now he's being trained.
00:22:05.59\00:22:09.76
Because they needed some
help in Radio and in Editing,
00:22:09.79\00:22:13.50
and Angie
Lomacang... like a sister to me,
00:22:13.53\00:22:17.17
and so she's taken like Eagles
on Ang and she's taken him
00:22:17.20\00:22:21.00
under her wing and she's
helping him and teaching him
00:22:21.04\00:22:24.21
audio editing.
Isn't that beautiful?
00:22:24.24\00:22:27.28
It's a blessing.
How's he adjusting from the
00:22:27.31\00:22:29.58
city to West Frankfort,
IL. How does he like it?
00:22:29.61\00:22:32.95
He is not a big fan, but he
says this is where I need to be.
00:22:32.98\00:22:36.95
That's right. He
realizes that he needs to be
00:22:36.99\00:22:40.96
there to work on himself and
get himself...and have God work
00:22:40.99\00:22:46.13
on him, and the
Lord is working on him.
00:22:46.16\00:22:49.46
Sometimes you just have to
separate yourself and even with
00:22:49.50\00:22:53.03
what you went through with your
sister...Yes. God needed to move
00:22:53.07\00:22:56.20
you to a new
place. That's right.
00:22:56.24\00:22:57.57
New memories. That's right.
00:22:57.61\00:22:59.44
And to use your gifts and
talents because I've seen you
00:22:59.47\00:23:01.78
on Magnify Him. Oh my goodness,
talking about your new CD...
00:23:01.81\00:23:06.41
Oh sure. How
did that come about?
00:23:06.45\00:23:09.78
Well, praise the Lord. I
hadn't done a CD since 1996.
00:23:09.82\00:23:16.42
Really. And, um, and they
have been telling me do it,
00:23:16.46\00:23:19.79
do it, do it, and I've been...,
but when I go into the studio
00:23:19.83\00:23:22.60
my voice would be all crackly
and stuff, I'm like awww,
00:23:22.63\00:23:25.53
I am having a bad
day, I can't do it.
00:23:25.57\00:23:26.97
Because I'm working and talking
all the time and then trying
00:23:27.00\00:23:31.44
to go into the studio...
That just wasn't working.
00:23:31.47\00:23:33.81
Well praise the Lord, I
went in not too long ago
00:23:33.84\00:23:38.21
and was able to knock
a bunch of them out...
00:23:38.25\00:23:40.32
And then a lot of the songs on
there are songs that I've sung
00:23:40.35\00:23:43.25
for 3ABN in the
past on various projects.
00:23:43.28\00:23:46.59
So we just kind of put them
all in one place and if people
00:23:46.62\00:23:49.69
just want to hear something
that hopefully will have them
00:23:49.72\00:23:54.03
in a worshipful frame of mind,
then they can listen to that.
00:23:54.06\00:23:58.37
I remember we did not
attend the GC in Texas
00:23:58.40\00:24:02.50
but when you came out, I
was like, oh no Yvonne's the
00:24:02.54\00:24:06.57
greatest thing... You
know and he says I'm sitting
00:24:06.61\00:24:09.81
right here, okay. "Laughing"
00:24:09.84\00:24:12.48
And I was so excited you know,
it was just so beautiful...
00:24:12.51\00:24:16.38
Praise the Lord. I
mean they had a lot of
00:24:16.42\00:24:18.42
wonderful talent but to know
someone who sings for the Lord..
00:24:18.45\00:24:23.59
You know, and I've seen you
at the camp meeting for 3ABN...
00:24:23.63\00:24:27.36
What is that like, I've
never attended the camp meeting?
00:24:27.40\00:24:30.10
You have to come.
What is that like?
00:24:30.13\00:24:31.47
It is so wonderful because
we have all these different
00:24:31.50\00:24:34.77
speakers and different
music, different artists and the
00:24:34.80\00:24:39.91
speakers just...this past
camp meeting was one of the...
00:24:39.94\00:24:43.55
I think it was one of
the largest attended ever.
00:24:43.58\00:24:45.78
Really. And it was on exposing
the counterfeit and all of these
00:24:45.81\00:24:50.32
different topics like is
the Bible true? and just a lot
00:24:50.35\00:24:54.52
of different topics that
people want to know about with
00:24:54.56\00:24:57.73
all these
different great speakers.
00:24:57.76\00:24:59.19
Some of the top
speakers in the church today
00:24:59.23\00:25:01.90
and they are just coming and
giving a perspective on these
00:25:01.93\00:25:06.87
different areas. And it's just,
it's wonderful being there,
00:25:06.90\00:25:10.21
the second best thing to
being there is watching it.
00:25:10.24\00:25:13.11
Watching it. If you
can watch it, that's
00:25:13.14\00:25:14.94
great but if you can
be there... To be there...
00:25:14.98\00:25:16.98
Because there is
something about the atmosphere,
00:25:17.01\00:25:20.38
it's just so spirit filled.
I love...I love camp meeting
00:25:20.42\00:25:25.19
cause I need to
have my spirit watered.
00:25:25.22\00:25:27.49
Oh definitely. You know you are
in ministry and tsh, tsh, tsh,
00:25:27.52\00:25:30.19
putting out, putting out and
all this energy and this just
00:25:30.23\00:25:36.26
kind of brings the Holy Spirit
more into you, so it infuses
00:25:36.30\00:25:44.11
you with energy and... You
know I think what happens is
00:25:44.14\00:25:48.24
that you are able to
take a step back and say Lord,
00:25:48.28\00:25:52.31
help me to be filled,
I need to be re-booted,
00:25:52.35\00:25:56.18
I need to take this opportunity
to draw closer to You
00:25:56.22\00:25:59.49
and I need to be still. Yes.
00:25:59.52\00:26:01.56
That's what happened to me,
I went to another camp meeting,
00:26:01.59\00:26:03.93
I was preaching at the
South Eastern Conference,
00:26:03.96\00:26:07.33
I was their speaker all
week for Women's Ministry,
00:26:07.36\00:26:10.33
Family Life. Then I came
back and Erin wanted to see her
00:26:10.37\00:26:16.04
friends and my sister was
presenting so I got in the car
00:26:16.07\00:26:21.04
and drove up to Lake Region
and it was a little difficult,
00:26:21.08\00:26:23.68
my first camp meeting without
Arthur and people seeing me
00:26:23.71\00:26:28.62
without him. They...And
then people will come up and say
00:26:28.65\00:26:31.25
I just can't even bear this,
I can't even look at you because
00:26:31.29\00:26:35.36
I'm like where is
Elder Nolen. I said in time.
00:26:35.39\00:26:38.33
In time you will
be all right. Mmmm.
00:26:38.36\00:26:41.06
And I'm ministering
to them, comforting them.
00:26:41.10\00:26:44.93
But, so it was something to
sit by myself to adjust to that
00:26:44.97\00:26:51.57
and be there. So I
thank the Lord for growth.
00:26:51.61\00:26:55.84
Umm. I thank the
Lord for yesterday,
00:26:55.88\00:26:58.98
but I thank the Lord
for what He's doing now.
00:26:59.01\00:27:01.52
Absolutely. Because you know
it helps us to be able to mature
00:27:01.55\00:27:05.65
in Him. It's a new normal now.
00:27:05.69\00:27:08.22
You are trying to
establish a new normal now.
00:27:08.26\00:27:12.19
Where there were two, now
there is one, so it's like
00:27:12.23\00:27:15.66
your whole identity has changed.
Oh yes. And it's adjusting
00:27:15.70\00:27:20.24
to that, that I know has got
to be super, super challenging.
00:27:20.30\00:27:24.64
Yes very. But you are, I have
to say, I'm so proud of you.
00:27:24.67\00:27:28.98
because I know that this is
hard, and I know that it's a
00:27:29.01\00:27:33.28
challenge for you.
Yes. But you're handling it
00:27:33.31\00:27:36.12
beautifully. Well
I appreciate that.
00:27:36.15\00:27:37.99
You know we are...at
the end of this broadcast.
00:27:38.02\00:27:41.82
What! Already! Oh my word.
00:27:41.86\00:27:44.23
I am just so excited, I thank
the Lord for allowing me to go
00:27:44.26\00:27:47.76
through what you went through in
2009, for such a time as this.
00:27:47.80\00:27:52.70
I want to thank my
boss and our General Manager
00:27:52.73\00:27:58.64
of Dare to Dream and I
thank God for the vision
00:27:58.67\00:28:01.51
in the programming.
00:28:01.54\00:28:02.88
Continue to know that God
will do it and "Look at God,"
00:28:02.91\00:28:06.72
and "Live to Be
Well." God Bless.
00:28:06.75\00:28:09.55
