I don't do the most but I do a lot. I'ma make a toast cause we still alive. No big. I feel like Pac, I shoot the shot, I'm coming in.
Speaker 2:Hello, it is your girl, stephanie, and you are now listening to. Inside Beauty Inspires. We motivate, encourage and inspire through biblical parental bulls. I have my sister in the studio with me. Go ahead, ana.
Speaker 1:Hey, listeners, it's your girl, goddess.
Speaker 2:Hi, hotty, and on today, listen, we're going to pick back up where we left off. First and foremost, I want to thank you, ana and Deja, for holding things down, had an amazing weekend, amazing week. You guys, I was not worried at all. Y'all make me so proud. You should have saw me. I was like a proud mom. I was like listen to them, go get them, tiger. I was like, yes, they're getting it.
Speaker 2:Because you are, and that's so important to me, because you know we're both all just living life. Right, we're all trying to make decisions and trying to figure things out, but when we add our father to the equation, it makes the biggest difference in our lives. What would you have to say about that? I mean because I'm telling you, I see the difference. I hear it in your speech, I hear it in the way you talk and you know you're even more patient with people. You know I just I just see an overall change and I love it. And shout out to Deja, niques Also want to shout out to the ladies of ISI, because you know I wouldn't be me if it wasn't for you guys. We all get up each and every morning at 6 am. You know it's important for us to put God first and so I'm seeing the difference that is making my life on it and then just to see God do it for you, is like, and Deja, I'm like yes, god, of course he gets the glory, he gets the glory.
Speaker 1:You're absolutely right and I think the easiest way to describe what has happened is we all have God inside of us, we all have a calling, we're all talented.
Speaker 1:But it's like, say, for instance, when we go to etiquette school, if you know, you know, you have the fundamentals what a fork is? You know, you know to not burp at the table and stuff. But when you go to etiquette school, they teach you things that make you stand out, it elevates you, it's a hire you know, you can tell like and so when you come out of etiquette school, you don't have to let people know, I have manners. It'll show up when you go to sit down at the table and everybody else is just, you know, grabbing stuff and everything, and you're sitting there with the napkin folded on your lap, just the little details, the way you weigh, and that's how it is with God, like I already had God inside of me, but I just he needed to polish me. He needed to polish me, he needed to let me know. Okay, you love people, you got a heart and that's why I've chosen you, but I need you to comment people a different way.
Speaker 1:I need you to think before you speak. You know every action doesn't have to have a reaction. So that's all it was. It's just God cleaning me up, polishing me, putting that finishing touch that sparkled a little bit of glitter and sugar.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's all it was.
Speaker 2:I love it, and you know, but it's beautiful to watch it, it's beautiful to witness. You know, speaking of chosen, I'm looking at your cards. Talk to the people about your cards today because you know, of course, if you know me, I'm going to give you a word If I see you. Beware, a word is near.
Speaker 1:But I love it, I love it, I love it. Even my daughter, she is all into it. And I like where's the card? I want to see you know, and you can read the card and then later on you can discuss it, talk about it, go into your Bible and, you know, get a deeper understanding. That's what I like. But my card today is from Collision's. Collision, excuse me, 312. Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility and gentleness and patience. And that just speaks to me, because I lacked some of those and I know that when I was dealing with people that it wasn't so easy to deal with, I would revert back to love is patient, love is kind, like you have no idea how many times I rehearsed that in my head.
Speaker 2:I feel like I've said everything, Like what is love everybody?
Speaker 1:Yes, and it's crazy because we hear this growing up. The things that you are teaching us are things that I heard growing up, but you never really applied it you know, and then, when you start taking that walk with God, you start understanding the scriptures more and I literally would have to tell myself love is patient, love is kind.
Speaker 1:When I wanted to yell at somebody, or argue back with somebody, I would tell myself if I love them, then this is how I should be treating them. And that is how I learned to step back and not react. I was the type of person that I, if you said something to me, I had to say something back. And now I just don't feel the need to, like I was telling you, I don't feel the need to prove myself to anyone or explain myself to anybody. My actions are doing the talking now, and I'm not rude and I just remember what you said. People get choices.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:I had a choice whether to listen to you or not. And listeners I didn't listen to Stephanie at first. She didn't she was like look Okay, hey. Hey, hey, rebellion came out real fast, no.
Speaker 2:But really, hey, let me read this part of compassion.
Speaker 1:You're right you're right, gentleman. You're right, you're right, okay.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna stop.
Speaker 1:But Stephanie did have patience, I did, and I mean literally. I remember, like yesterday, being in Sephora together, hello, and we were looking at makeup, you know, and Stephanie would be like you know what's that lipstick? Oh, by the way, on it we got on the fair call, you know, and I just be like, oh my gosh, okay, stephanie, I hear you, but it was Just. She would tell me, you know, and that's all you can do is you can plan to see guys plant that seed. She didn't push, and God and Jesus, they don't push themselves on you.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:They don't argue back and forth if somebody wants to say, well, I don't believe, I don't even get an argument.
Speaker 2:Oh, is it not freedom?
Speaker 1:Yes, Because that's their choice, right. And if you sit there and argue back and forth with someone, you discredit God.
Speaker 2:That's exactly what I did or stand up for him.
Speaker 1:He said get in the word.
Speaker 2:The word.
Speaker 1:Get in the word so much. I don't have to go back and forth with you. If you want to believe that I'm a non-christian, if you want to believe that, because my past now you can't see past my past, that's on you, that is on you. I know who I am, I know who's I am, yes, and that gives me the authority To walk into rooms and know who I am. And if you don't like it or you don't understand it, it's okay. When I tell you I am, so like I'm not mad, I don't care, but I just I know who I am, so say what you will.
Speaker 1:People, I could walk down the streets and they could throw tomatoes at me and I'm still going to walk like a queen of goddess through the crowd Because I finally know who I am. And when you know who you are and who's you are, it's that freedom girl. It's that. I don't, god, explain nothing to you. I don't have to tell you I'm smart. I don't have to tell you I'm beautiful. I don't have to tell you whether I got money or not. I don't have to tell you.
Speaker 1:Because, because the only one that it matters is my opinion and God's, and and the people that really know me.
Speaker 2:Yes, they know me.
Speaker 1:Yes, and they don't expect anything out of me except for me. That's it I never get here, but I'm here.
Speaker 2:Yes, and the crowd goes, wow, that's, that's what I'll be like. Yeah, but for real, though, you know, I we laugh about it now and it's it's such a beautiful thing because we're truly our sisters. You know, I'm saying this is my sister, I love her, I love everything about Anna, you know, and our personality is so big, and when you get to know her, you'll understand why she's the way that she is, because Everybody didn't grow up the same way. But we have to always understand is that everybody grew up differently.
Speaker 2:So some of the things that I experienced on it in an experience, and some of the things on experience I didn't experience, but God brought us here, you know, for a time such as this, and, listeners, that's the same with you as well, because, listen, we all went to church, right, like a lot of things that I do teach, or our teacher, straight out of the Bible. I mean, I'm not adding to it, I'm not taking away from it, right, but we've heard it before, we've heard it in songs, We've heard amazing grace. You know, we, we've heard these songs before, not really understanding what it means when it comes down to applying them to our life. You know the actual concept of them. And so it brings me to what we've been talking about, because we've been in Genesis and we've talked about Abraham and great show.
Speaker 2:By the way, last week I was just, I loved it, I did, I was, I really was, I was. I was having a proud moment because, you know, it's almost like a teacher watching the students. Um, I know you started it all by yourself. I slept in the car the other day, so I expected you to let me forge this show Text only day 5.
Speaker 1:Get it right, it's like yeah, they got it right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they got it right, and so of course I was just smiling from ear to ear and that and that it took me a while to listen to what I finally did. But you know, we've been here lately, we've been in Leviticus moving into numbers, because I want to get a good understanding of what the Word of God is saying. I don't want to do it, and that's another thing to honor. You know, we're not doing this because we're getting paid to do it. We're doing this because we love God. He's our priority. You know, when we put God first, everything about everything about us change Everything. He changes that one thing, I tell people, change that one thing that's going to change everything. The one thing that changed everything in my life was the Word of God. So if it worked for me, why wouldn't I tell you? Why wouldn't I tell you? Know, I will want it to be something that everybody collectively gets together.
Speaker 1:Exactly. It's no different than we go to a good restaurant and we want to tell everybody how great the food was, how great the service was.
Speaker 1:Yes, hey, this person worked on my car. They did amazing. They didn't try to take advantage of me. Well, that's how I feel like it is for God. People ask me all the time, you know like do you get paid? No, I don't, but in the sense I do, because the more I get out and do God's purpose and His work, he blesses me. He blesses me, he looks out for me. Yes, he does.
Speaker 2:And honor people. That's what I want people to understand. Like because it's a world way and there's the words way. The Bible says I will provide for you. Like what he tells. What he says is see first the kingdom of God and all of His riches, all of His righteousness, all these things should be added until your life.
Speaker 2:We try to make things happen on our own. When God is literally saying it's a given, I'm going to give it to you anyway because it's written. But if we're not in a word and we're not reading it and we don't know it, then we're going to miss that in its entirety and we're going to work ourselves endlessly trying to get a quota or trying to get a status that was given to us by God as a given because we're born into it. He said you know we are every royal priest, we are chosen generation, but if you don't know who you are, you don't know your benefits are you're going to get any of them. You're not going to get any benefits. You know and we know think about that. We have to have benefit packets when we go to, like different jobs and stuff. Well, you can have all of these benefits, but you know you can't take advantage of any of them, because you don't even know that they exist.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh that is a good one. That is awesome. Yeah, and that's the thing is, when you're working for God. He does have an insurance policy for us. He does have a 401k.
Speaker 2:Yes, he does.
Speaker 1:I mean I have sat here and my girl Stephanie, I mean I watched her and I saw the past she took and now we're not ever saying, listeners, that it was easy because it's not it's not. You lose a lot of things you do, but you know what you end up with peace peace of mind.
Speaker 1:And I'm sorry, but people just don't understand until they have experienced what peace is why it is priceless why the Bible talks about peace all the time to be able to wake up in the morning and just not stress or look, I still have bills to pay, I still have this and that. But because I put my worries and cares and God has showed me what I have dominion over and what I don't, he lets me know like you have control of this and what you don't have control. Give it to me. That's it, and it's not easy.
Speaker 1:There's times where you know, because of the situation that I've been in as an only you know provider, you know the world makes us feel like, oh, we got to have it all together and stuff. But when I started getting in my word and started seeing you know what. That's the world standard. What do I really need? Do I need that? No, I don't. Do I want it because they got it. And it makes me feel, listeners, how many of us feel like we are not accomplishing anything because somebody in social media has told us oh, if you don't have a house by this time, if you don't have a business by this, time you don't have to say it's the pressure to keep up with the Joneses and we got to stop doing that.
Speaker 1:How many people do you know that when they finally fail and lose everything, half of them are like we didn't even want that lifestyle it?
Speaker 2:wasn't even that serious.
Speaker 1:It wasn't even their desires, but they felt pressured to fit in and see.
Speaker 2:And that's why the Bible says what profits a man to gain a whole wide world and lose his soul? What profits a man to gain a world like you? Have all of this stuff. We can't not take stuff with us when we leave this earth. You know, you know the message is going, but this is being, this is a prophetic moment and that's why it's happening the way that it's happening. If you could, we don't know when tomorrow is, we don't know when our expiration dates are Okay, but we all have them. We can't take this stuff with us.
Speaker 2:Why do we act like this about things? We can't take none of it with us. It's going to write your real Jews, your real, your real riches are in heaven in his heart. That's why he says hi, the treasures of the word in your heart, because of your heart flows the issues of life. We get here and we look at media and we watch TV and we see what the world is projecting upon us and it's all projection. Let's talk about it, because people project their attitudes on us every day, the same way that for people project media on us every day. It's up to you whether you feed into it or not Exactly?
Speaker 1:And I mean as I've gotten older, and not only that, but cutting around certain situations. I'm like, wow, on Facebook it looks one way, but I know that person.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 1:It is not Like you know, but it's just. It's just like the pictures. And I have to use my kids, for example. You know, when you're like here, smile for the camera and you know five seconds ago they were punching each other and fighting and stuff. But you post that picture that you took like 20 times to get one good picture and it looks like they're so happy and loving, but behind closed doors they were ripping each other.
Speaker 2:I don't know what I had to go through to get this picture. That's what I'm saying and, and, and, and, and. Well, it's the mask.
Speaker 1:It's you're right.
Speaker 2:It's the mask.
Speaker 1:It's the mask we wear, because people just they claim that they're leaders, they claim that you know, oh, we're not insecure, we're not jealous, you know, but it sounds all good, but your actions say something totally different.
Speaker 2:And listen and well, that's perfect. Say what into what we're going to be talking about, because you know, like Moses, moses, sister. Miriam and Aaron. Okay, so we've been. We've been in numbers, Okay, and this is important for people to understand. Okay, Um, it's very interesting I found out. Here's the thing about Moses. Moses didn't even feel qualified. Okay, let's just start there. He really didn't think about the study you but does it? I mean it's, it's not comical, but it's not.
Speaker 1:But to a man, but you know. But when we read about we we think of God's calling people that are perfect, cause you know what the world? They want you to have a degree. Oh, they got a degree. They got a bachelor's. Uh, oh, they're gorgeous. They won this thing. God, he didn't go out there looking for degrees and all that stuff. He was picking people that had flaws and weaknesses. That's what it was, and using that girl.
Speaker 2:We've been in first Corinthians. It's in first Corinthians. He used the foolish things of this world to confine those two. The shame the ones who think they're wise like listen people, we really. This is very prophetic. That's how I know it is, because we're kind of going off of what we said we're going to talk about. But this is real, it's real, it's raw, it's real, and we don't see her fabricate the word. We're reading this straight out of the Bible. The same Bible that I'm reading out of is the same Bible that you can read out of. You'll get the same stories that I get. You know what I'm saying. I'm just drawn to it like a mouth to a flame and y'all can see her face. I did that because I had a right. So listen, I'm going to start right here, at numbers 12. So number 12, one.
Speaker 2:It says while they were at hazard, mariam and Aaron criticized Moses because he had married a Christian night woman. They said has the Lord only spoken? Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Hasn't he spoken through us too? The Lord heard them.
Speaker 2:Now, Moses was very humble, or humble than any other person on earth. So immediately the Lord called to Moses. Aaron and Mariam sit and said go out to the tabernacle, all three of you. And so the three of them went out to the tabernacle and the Lord descended in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the tabernacle Aaron and Mariam. He called and they stepped forward and the Lord said to them now listen to what I have, now listen to what I said. If there were prophets among you, I, the Lord, will reveal myself in visions. I will speak to them in dreams, but not. But not with my servant Moses. Of all my house, he is the one I trust. I speak to him face to face, clearly, and not in riddles. He sees the Lord as he see, as he is. So why were you not afraid to criticize my servant Moses? So why were you not afraid to criticize my servant Moses? The Lord was very angry with them and departed as the cloud, as the cloud, as the cloud Mood, from above the tabernacle.
Speaker 2:There stood Miriam. Her skin is white as snow Leprosy. When Aaron saw that, saw what had happened to her, he cried out to Moses oh my master, please don't punish us for the sin we have so foolishly committed. Don't let her be like a sealborn baby, covered, already decayed at birth. So Moses cried out to the Lord oh God, I beg you, please heal her. But the Lord said to Moses, if her father had done nothing more than spin her face wouldn't she be defiled for seven days? So keep her outside the camp for seven days and after that she may be accepted back. So Miriam was kept outside the camp for seven days and the people waited until she was brought back, brought back in, before they traveled again. Then they left and camped in the wilderness. Talk about, let's talk about. Well, I mean, I mean.
Speaker 1:I mean I was just like, first of all, you see how God felt about Moses. I mean he was like he sees, he saw God correctly, and so that found favor with God. You know he understood, and for them to, just, you know, act like, I think I what, what God was trying to say to them Is like if I allow Moses to stand here and talk to me, you know, without a veil, I mean cuz that was on her face, the face that was unheard of.
Speaker 1:Right in the Bible, Right so it's almost like I remember I had a teacher and you know, you know people act up when you know substitute teachers come.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but we had this one teacher.
Speaker 1:She didn't play that, we acted up. But I remember the next day she was like you know, when I'm not here I handpicked my substitute teacher and the teacher I have I handpicked and you need to have respect for her, as if you had Respect for me, and she just didn't play that and I mean she punished us, and that's what came to mind is like yeah, it wasn't that. God was saying you know, moses is as great as me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he was letting them know. Like I chose him for Alicia and you had the audacity to Disrespect.
Speaker 2:You were disrespecting God, basically and people don't realize that, though let's see, when I read that, that's why I was like let's jump into this Bible study, because this was our Bible studies y'all. Like we've been going through the word of God and literally just reading the stories as they come right, and this was the next one. So most of them and here's my thing Moses them brought everybody through the wilderness. He done brought. He done brought these people out of the Red Sea. Everything that God asked Moses to do, he did. But there was a point when Moses was begging for God, not the writing on the people, do you remember, like where he was?
Speaker 1:like you know, please have mercy on them is nearly not like that, you know, because he had, and that's why God found favor with Moses, because so many times there's leaders out here that do give up on their people yes, they do give up and stuff, but see Moses, he had a heart like God and even when God was getting upset because, like this is my faithful servant, you're over here playing around and disrespecting him why not complainin, you know? And Moses went to him like no God that's not, you know, and that goes back to Compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, and it's just like there is people that God has put into position.
Speaker 2:It's how glad I mean.
Speaker 1:I mean I'll use you for example Do you, god put you in a position you didn't know where this was gonna go? I did not. Six years later and I mean any of you to think Hand of clink.
Speaker 2:Just want to put that out there because if I had my, I'd like to be hidden. I really, I'm up, you are, yeah, really.
Speaker 1:You're in the background kind of person. Yeah, I am, and you know I'm out in the front.
Speaker 2:And I love it.
Speaker 1:I'm cool with it, but look who got caught. He very rarely calls the people that want to be out there in the front and to start them. That's not who he wants, because those people usually don't aren't very humble, and I could say that because that's how I was, you know like oh, I was that You're only listening and I love it because, to be honest, Because, because I don't mind speaking of how I was.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, because of where you are.
Speaker 1:Right, because of who I am now, yes, and, and see, you are, I've always been, you know, in the background and stuff, but that's who God brought, you know, and because he was like, well, stephanie's humble, but she'll get the work done, and stuff. But there are actually these people that you know refuse to listen just because it's you.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And that's so crazy, because that's like you needing money and someone offers you the money but you don't want to take it because but God's like, no, I found you away, but you're going to be like, oh no, I don't really care for that person.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's typically how it is.
Speaker 1:Exactly, but that's what God does, he, he, will give you your blessing, but your blessing is going to come from somewhere you never expected. Well, yeah. Probably from someone you don't expect, and and. But that's where the test lies.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's where the test lies.
Speaker 1:And that was the test when Moses, you know, had to lead the, you know they were all going through a test and Stephanie, you just mentioned that this morning when we were talking like life is all about tests.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:When you understand who God is. It's all about testing us to see where our heart posture is yeah.
Speaker 2:Are you really about that life? Are we going?
Speaker 1:to do what God has asked us to do. Are we going to try to be slick about it? But the thing is is God sees all, knows all, so you're going to get exactly you're going to say exactly the work that you put in is how much pay you're going to get. Yeah, you know how you've been thinking you're getting over at your job and you may talk about it a little bit you may, for a little bit, talk about it, but there's always going to be that one person that's going to report you.
Speaker 1:That's going to be that one person is going to see everything. And then when you go to get your paycheck and you're like, hey, wait a minute, you know. And they're like, uh-uh, didn't you go to lunch on Thursday? Didn't I see you at the restaurant drinking a margarita? Yeah Well, I clocked you out for that hour and I've seen it happen. So many times. So that's what I'm saying is life is a test and God is going to pay your worth.
Speaker 2:And that's just how it is.
Speaker 1:And so to those that I would say um, if God has put somebody in your life to lead you, you know you might want to submit and I know it's not easy stuff, but you got to understand if he, if God, chose that person and you know, without the shop that he chose, you chose that person. I mean, even with Stephanie, um, I'm just being honest. There was a time where we buy heads because of what I had been through in my past. I was like wait a minute, you know, is she trying to tell me what to do and stuff. But God had to get me away and be like no, you just can't receive her because you're taking it as that, because of the trauma you've been through.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:When God healed me of that trauma, I saw Stephanie correctly and I could receive her and I could sit and talk to her and let her know hey, steph. I mean I came back to Steph and was like, hey, I am sorry, I took you the wrong way. Um, I had issues that still need to be worked out and she was receiving and I explained to her and let her know it was not you and you know. And she was like, hey, god already told me you're coming back. So it is what it is, but thank you for letting me know. You know, because I never try to control no one, boss, nobody but sometimes when we push against somebody, we really need to take self accountability and say, well, why are we pushing.
Speaker 2:Well, that's really what it is. You know that's the opportunity for you to grow. You know you have to look at the man in the mirror. A lot of times we don't do that initially, you know we just don't. If we can be honest, we definitely, uh. Or you know, we just you see it, for we see surface level is very surface level and, um, anytime it's surface level, the enemy plays off of it. Oh, he plays off of that, you know, because he doesn't want you, cause I mean, think about it, if there are things that are on the inside of you that you need deliverance from right, and he plays off of these little, these little, um, I say a little tactless. You know he just has little ways of just kind of poking a bear.
Speaker 1:Well, your emotions, right, your emotions. I, I will say really quickly, I started journaling like you told me to about a certain uh relationship I have with somebody you know just being like, because I always feel like you know negative and they're like no, we're just trying to help you. So I started and in the moment when I'm emotional, uh, it's just, I can't see, I can't see.
Speaker 1:Right, right but when I go back later at the end of the night and I've written and I reread and reread and those emotions and those triggers are gone, I'm like, oh, okay, I love it, it wasn't. They really wasn't trying to, you know. And so there's something to be said about journaling, guys, because you know, like if you want to be mean, and that's just someone write a letter, write a letter, read it a couple hours later and rip it up and rip it up, just rip it up.
Speaker 2:Listen, I want to leave you guys with this word right here. It says changing one person. We are all just trying to figure out this thing called life, trying to understand our passions, callings and purpose. It can be confusing, it can be frustrating, it can bring tears of joy to some and tears of pain to others. I want to encourage you, wherever you are, whatever season you are in, to understand that your calling is meant for you. No one else, just you. There's no rush to get to where God is taking you.
Speaker 2:Don't let social media make you feel like you weren't, are not good enough or you need to be, because you don't have the large platform or the ministry isn't booming. God created you with specific gifts and has brought you through unique experiences so that you can make impacts that only you can. Even if that means brightening someone's day at just the right time, letting your friend know you are praying for them, or smiling at a young mom struggling in the grocery line, helping that one person in that single moment can make a huge impact in their life. You never know how God is going to use your obedience to start a ripple effect, at least that one person. To him. You're making a huge impact on this world. Don't you ever doubt that? Or and and keep shining and being the light in a dark world. The scripture is second Corinthians, five, 17. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come and the old has gone and the new is here. Have an amazing week on purpose Peace.
