New Year's Resolutions and Goals

Speaker 1

Y'all a brand new year it's 2025 already .

Speaker 2

This is unbelievable . I feel like I blinked and this year passed by .

Speaker 1

Oh yeah , I don't know what to say Like , I can't even believe it's 2025 .

Speaker 2

Yes , happy new year to all of our listeners , all of y'all who have just been supporting us continually really over the past , over 2024 , I feel like we grew such a following last year and it's been an amazing ride .

Speaker 1

Yes , we're so thankful for all of y'all in 2024 and have really shown us support and love and the friendships that we have made in 2024 . It's all God's hand for sure . It is .

Speaker 2

It is Okay , let's start off by mentioning our grand sponsor for January . And this is a good one . Y'all , gotros Donuts , y'all have heard us talk about them before they are a small , family-owned business in Rain , louisiana , located at 705 South Adams Avenue to be exact . They open seven days a week . You get your donut fix and right now is the time to get your king cake fix .

Speaker 1

It's so time for Gautreaux's right now .

Speaker 2

I know it . So you go in and you're going to order you a king cake if you've never had one before . It is Mardi Gras season and they have all the flavors you could want . Okay , let me just tell you a few Blueberry , blueberry cream cheese , chocolate , lemon , raspberry , raspberry cream cheese , bavarian Plain cream cheese , plain king cake , strawberry and strawberry cream cheese . What's your favorite ?

Speaker 1

I was about to say which one's the one you going for . I'm going for the blueberry cream cheese . Personally , listen , I love blueberry cream cheese and I will eat it at your house . But I'm a Bavarian girl , just plain Bavarian . I love Bavarian king cake .

Speaker 2

Girl , all of it's good , and of course they got kolaches and regular donuts and stuff too . But anyway , y'all go in , support a small local business and give them a try . You won't be sorry .

Speaker 1

No , you won't , you won't .

Speaker 2

Okay , so let's discuss some .

Speaker 1

New Year's topics . Okay , well , you know , everybody wants to make resolutions . Yes , okay , yes .

Speaker 2

And I'm sorry I roll my eyes at that a little because I hate , like the pressure , the pressure , the pressure of the resolution , but I don't like , absolutely do not want to make any resolutions .

Speaker 1

No , because I feel like this year I need to rein myself in a little bit and make some resolutions .

Speaker 2

There's nothing wrong with a little check , like check yourself before you wreck yourself , type of thing .

Speaker 1

That's what I want to do this year . That's what I want to do this year . That's what you want to do . I want to check myself before I wreck myself and I know it's such a cliche thing , but really just taking care of my body more , you know , like actually doing those workouts , you know saying no to something .

Speaker 2

Like I think about .

Speaker 1

Drake doing , you know like I'll pass on . You know , saying no to something like I think about drake doing , you know like I'll pass on you know I'm gonna pass on . Uh , you know , maybe the cracklins and boudin a little bit . Yeah , as sad as that is , I know , I know , but I mean I think that's why it's so uh common .

Speaker 2

That's like probably the number one resolution . I say number one , but it's a big one . Everybody wants to . I'm losing weight , I , I'm getting healthier . I'm starting this trend and I'm all for that . The real test comes in February and March .

Speaker 1

Oh , yeah , and .

Speaker 2

January starts out hot . You know everybody's at the gym in January . But let's check in in 30 , 60 , 90 days and let's see where we're at . You know , and that's why 60 , 90 days and let's see where we at you know , and that's why , like the pressure is , you feel the pressure's on , because it's a consistency thing , you know , and that's a self-discipline type of thing .

Speaker 1

Yeah , but I got you and you're good about it . Okay , like I fell off because of the two kids , okay , no , I fell off because of that one kid , that last one .

Speaker 2

The last one honestly .

Speaker 1

Because Roz I did good .

Speaker 2

You did .

Speaker 1

Roz , I did really good . My health was still good .

Speaker 2

I didn't gain a whole lot . You were able to work out until the very end , until the very end With this last one .

Speaker 1

it was a totally different game .

Speaker 2

And I just think that's because they were so close , Like you didn't have time to fully recover from Roz .

Speaker 1

And I didn't have time to deal Like I had a baby I was dealing with , you know , and the others .

Speaker 2

It was a different season . It was a different season .

Speaker 1

So for me , I know that I can do it because I did it already before , so you have to help .

Speaker 2

I will . I will when we have to go out and do our little videos and stuff . We're going to have to go get some meat and some vegetables , you know , and no dessert .

Speaker 1

No , but y'all get y'all Gautreaux's king cake .

Speaker 2

Except king cake season . No , you see , we already crawled fishing back in the hole . Except king cake season , man , you know , in November I did no sugar , november I was so proud of myself .

Speaker 1

You did it , I did it .

Speaker 2

I said I'm doing no sugar and that's like no , just like fruit , natural sugar and honey , because I have to put honey in my coffee . Yeah , but no extra sugar in November until Thanksgiving . I said I'm going to enjoy my Thanksgiving . But I had no extra sugar in November until Thanksgiving . I said I'm going to enjoy my Thanksgiving . It only comes once a year and I did it , so I know it can be done . But what's even even like there were , you know people were like what about Thanksgiving ? What about Christmas ? I'm like that ain't as hard for me as Mardi Gras season Because that is just special . You know like I want that king cake .

Speaker 1

Just a couple of king cakes I have to experience , but there's like five of them .

Speaker 2

You know , yeah , five . So there's like how many weeks in Mardi Gras season Probably about six , no more than that .

Speaker 1

You see , this is the problem .

Speaker 2

This is the problem .

Speaker 1

I mean , we just came off of Thanksgiving and Christmas . And now we're already , like I have to have this candy , I have to have this candy , I have to have this . And then you went and you were like no sugar , november . Well , I'm going to go ahead and splurge on this raisin filled . What the sweet potatoes .

Speaker 2

I don't regret it .

Speaker 1

Well , that's , that's what you were like . You know what I mean ? I can't . I'm saving up all my sugar for the raisin filled sweet potatoes . Look , you never hide them , you cannot knock it . And the broccoli casserole oh , good old broccoli casserole for Thanksgiving .

Speaker 2

Look , my kids love it okay , I am not the only one . My family asks for this okay , except my husband because he says it looks like baby food . You know like he's special though . Yeah , I know Will . Connie , Miss Connie , God bless you and your children , but no , my mother-in-law's sweet potatoes with this like buttery brown sugary glaze and raisins . I don't care , I will die on that hill . You hear me Okay .

Speaker 1

I'm still waiting on you to bring me a bite , but you know you still haven't done that .

Speaker 2

We eat them all . There's none left . There's none left .

Speaker 1

No baby food for you in the end .

Speaker 2

Okay , so you want to work on your health this year ? I'm going to work on my health this year , yes , okay , so I have honestly , embarrassingly enough , have not given this much thought until just right now , this moment , this moment of what I want to work on . This moment , this moment of what I want to work on , the first thing that comes to my mind is time management .

Speaker 1

Oh , that's a good one .

Speaker 2

Friend . Yes , time management and prioritizing things , because I will just let any little distraction . I'm like , oh , I'm trying to do the dishes , oh , I'll get a message . I have to do it . I have to message them back right now . Dishes aren't done , husband's home from work , no dishes , no clothes , like none of that has gotten done because I've gotten all these things along the way and you been telling me this to put my phone in another room .

Speaker 2

I told you to take that watch off and I and that's my Like I can't do it , Like my mind tells me you're going to miss out , you're going to miss that , you're going to miss this message .

Speaker 1

People you're not going to though , like , look , I took that watch off and I've never felt more free . Now , listen , I will miss things on my phone . You see how crazy my life is and you're probably like , why is she not answering my stuff ? Because sometimes I'm like it could be hours . Last night I let my phone die . Gasp , I know , I let my phone die because I had it was in . It was on the chhh sound for the baby , oh yeah , and I put it in the side , completely forgot about it . Woke up this morning at 7.15 and was like , oh , my phone's been dead for hours . How old . And it makes me nervous when I can't reach you , which is you know .

Speaker 2

I think about like when , before cell phones , and like people was leaving their house , you didn't know when they were coming back , you didn't know where they were . They had a phone at home , that was it , and sometimes I feel like that was so much better you know , but that gives me anxiety in you know , but that gives me anxiety In this generation . That thought gives me anxiety , not be able to reach me or like when . I text you . If it takes you a while to respond , I'm like what is she doing ?

Speaker 1

What is she doing ? No way she could have , you know , five other people looking to see what's going on , you know , and it is , and it's just like that's why , whenever she brought this bag of stuff that's behind her right now , all of our pretties , and like I am throwing together coffee things in the bag as she's trying to pick me up to come here , and I'm like , oh , look at this nice little bag you have all packed , like you had time to do this this morning . That is not what's happening .

Speaker 2

So it's just like time management , what a good that is good , yeah , and priorities , you know , and feeling like I'm always on my phone . But that's how I work , you know . So it's hard . And then you know , my kids see me on my phone all the time and so they feel like the phone's more important than them and I'm like it's not baby mommy's , just I'm messaging a customer or I'm doing this and then I'm like crap , it really .

Speaker 2

I really am prioritizing this over what's right in front of me and , um , that's a . If you feel the same way , just feel validated right now , because I feel the same way and I've got to find more balance of that and it's hard because that is .

Speaker 1

It's a different way than we used to Like . Mommy goes out to work , you leave the house , you leave the house . For us , and honestly , work starts when we wake up in the morning and ends when we go to bed at night .

Speaker 2

Close your eyes at night . It's true .

Speaker 1

And that shouldn't be . No , you know I know , like there should be a time where we say , okay , it's time for work , it's time to shut things down , but we're in charge of that . You know we are , we are in charge of that I have nobody to blame but me .

Speaker 2

Me too .

Speaker 1

Me too , you know I'm trying to make a conscious effort of okay , I'm not messaging anymore after 8 o'clock .

Speaker 2

And you've been doing good at that , and I'm proud of you for that .

Speaker 1

Yeah , it's not easy , but I'm trying . Yeah , all right .

Speaker 2

Let's talk about laura . Y'all , we have a new sponsor this month . Y'all have not heard of her before and she is the most wonderful , oh or maybe you have heard of her before .

Speaker 1

Maybe you have . I'm sorry , I shouldn't just not here okay , you haven't heard her about her here , but maybe you know her and it's laura hu .

Speaker 2

Yes , y'all , laura Huval is . Well , she's a musician . She's been Grammy nominated . Oh my gosh , that's insane to me . Yes , she's a Catholic speaker , author , music minister , educator . She leads retreats . She's in , she's part of a band , a family band called Sweet Cecilia . Their music is just so uh . Like Sweet Cecilia music is Cajun . Like Sweet Cecilia music is Cajun . Like they sing a lot in Cajun French . It's beautiful , beautiful . But she and you're wearing one of her shirts today .

Speaker 1

I have Sing the Rosary shirt on today . The Sing the .

Speaker 2

Rosary shirt that she has . This is a new thing , a new album Sing the Rosary . You can download it for free at laurahuvallcom slash rosary , okay . And if you're interested in booking her for any events or just kind of seeing what she has to offer , you can email info at laurahuvallcom or go to her website . Okay , laurahuvallcom , we just love her . We met her .

Speaker 2

She's precious Just such a like beautiful spirit about her I could just bring her in my pocket , in your little pocket , put it in your pocket , and you do have her in your ear a lot when you're in your car .

Speaker 1

In my car . We sing the rosary everywhere we go . Like it takes us just that long to get to Lafayette .

Speaker 2

We listen and even .

Speaker 1

Roz is singing along Precious .

Speaker 2

All right , okay , so we talked about things we kind of want to work on , like we kind of both feel like you kind of roll your eyes at the cliche of making a resolution and whatnot , what about unresolutions ? And that's like saying , instead of I'm going to do this , I'm not going to do something , which I think mine was kind of like that , like I'm not gonna be on my phone so much . Yeah , I like that , but like what's something that you don't want to do .

Speaker 1

I am not going to pressure my own self as much as I have been doing Like I want to give myself more grace , okay , okay , because I look at my day and it's a scatterbrained mess , you know . But what I want to do is like just be like it's okay . My kids are happy , my husband's happy and that's all that matters .

Finding Grace in Life's Seasons

Speaker 1

You know , like I find I put too much pressure on myself , like I didn't get this done . You know I didn't get this done and I didn't get this done , and you know things that I don't really want to do , like I'm not going to do those things .

Speaker 2

Okay , I'm going to give myself more grace , Prioritizing like saying and then like saying no .

Speaker 1

Saying no , that's hard , that's so hard . You know how many times I've had to say no to people and I kind of feel like , oh , but then they're not going to like me anymore . And I have this problem , like I just care too much what people think about me and my husband thinks I'm so stupid for that and I'm just like , but you don't understand , like it breaks my heart . You know , just to think somebody is upset with me , upset with you about something . Or you know , like I overthink a lot . I'm going to overthink textbook To the point of where I will make out the whole scene in my mind of how it's going to go down . And it goes down , nothing like that , because , um , but do you do that ? I don't know , you don't seem like the person to do that . No , not so much . How is that ? What's that ? What's that ?

Speaker 2

like I don't know . Uh , I mean I can't say why I don't do that . I mean it's a blessing , not ?

Speaker 1

to be like that .

Speaker 2

But I don't know , maybe my mama had a hand in it , because she would always say don't borrow trouble , don't take on trouble . That ain't even there , you borrow in trouble . Does that make sense ? I never heard that before . Yeah , she would always say don't borrow trouble . So I don't know , but I mean it's human to feel that way . I feel like it's totally normal and human to overthink and then , especially if you're someone that battles anxiety , that it kicks in without your permission . It kicks in without permission . Oh , absolutely .

Speaker 2

And then I mean I hope you have someone in your life like that can kind of help rein you in and I hope that I can help you do that sometimes , you know .

Speaker 1

Yeah , because sometimes I'm just like well with certain people in my life . I know they think this way , you know , and I'm just like so , like I know , you know , you know , and I'm just like so , like I know , you know , you know , like I know , you know how like I thought this was going , and how it's going is not at all you know . So I don't know my my thing and just I feel like I branched off a lot , but give myself some more grace as to what I can do and what I can't control . And you know , like , and and too .

Speaker 2

I feel like , since you you almost well , I mean with your children like you started over , you pretty much started over . You are comparing seasons in your life to like this current season is . You've never been there before . You know , even when you had your first two girls that were little . Your life looked a lot different then Because there wasn't others .

Speaker 1

Yeah , you know .

Speaker 2

And so you're , I think mentally , and it's just like you , just that's how your brain works and we compare all the time . We even had a whole episode about how we compare everything . Oh yeah , and so like you comparing now to how it was , and that's where the grace needs to come in . You know , like it's not the same . It's not going to be the same , because it's not the same right now .

Speaker 1

I'm

Creating Joy and Purpose in 2025

Speaker 1

older . You know , isla and I my daughter , isla , she's my oldest . We were talking this morning . She was like you know what ? I think I'm an expert at babies . Now I said well , good for you , because I still ain't an expert . How nice to be an expert she said but mom , you've had so many , I'm like they're all different . I mean , look at Bennett , you know , yep , he's a little bougie baby .

Speaker 1

You so little bougie baby . You know he's got little things and I was just like he's totally different from what y'all were and Roz was totally different , and it's just yeah .

Speaker 2

I was like , well , good for you , sis , because I got four of them and I still don't know . Let her be confident , though , Mama , so she can feel like she can take care of those babies when you're not around , she can help , you know , yeah , okay , let me take a moment to mention one of our sponsors right now sure title and abstract .

Speaker 2

Sure title and abstract . You can choose them for all your real estate and property needs . Um , maria petrie is the the attorney there and they're out based out of lafayette , louisiana . So all for your louisiana um property title needs . They , they're there and they have made the times best of a Acadiana list over and over again . Last year they were celebrating their 10-year anniversary and ranked number one in the time's best of Acadiana . So I don't know if you know , but you have the choice to choose . You can choose whatever title attorney you want when you're doing closings and stuff . So remember , you get to choose and you can choose Maria Petri at Sure Title for all your real estate and property needs . Check out their website at wwwthesurechoicecom . Thank you , maria . Thank you , maria , okay . Lastly , I want to talk about and we like doing this every year there's all types of quizzes online that you can take that give you like a word for the year .

Speaker 2

And so we both took this quiz and we both got the same word . We got the same word . Imagine that I was like that's just affirmation to me .

Speaker 1

Yeah , you know , that's what I took it as too . I was like oh man , should we do it again ? And I asked her . I was like should we do it again ? And she was like no , we shouldn't do it again .

Speaker 2

We're on the same page which made me happy . Our word for 2025 is create , and so this specific one we took is kind of like a biblical reference .

Speaker 1

It's from Dayspring Dayspring . Yeah , if you want to go , take it . We do this every single year . My friend , justine , justine , shout out , justine Bellard . She started us doing this every year and ever since we've been doing this , day spring one and Create is what we came Create .

Speaker 2

Okay , so let me read a couple of things that I highlighted . And this is just like I said . I feel like , and I have to tell y'all my word for 2024 in a minute and how true it was okay .

Speaker 2

So create and this gets me really excited to create in Christ means to align our creative impulses and work with God's purposes , acknowledging that every act of creation is ultimately an act of worship . When we create with Christ , we approach our work whether it's art , writing , music , entrepreneurship or even building relationships with the awareness that we are partnering with God . Creating in Christ also means using our gifts for his glory rather than our own . So that is something that Sarah and I treasure in our hearts is like when people tell us yall bring us so much joy , y'all make our day better . I was having a bad day and I watched a video and y'all made me laugh and it just it turns my mood around and we feel like that's part of our ministry , almost like God has allowed us , these platforms , to be able to bring joy to other people in some way .

Speaker 2

So , like when I read this and I'm like using your gifts to give his for his glory rather than our own , and dedicate your work to him , I'm like , yeah , yeah , that's it , that is what we want , that is what we want to be and live in 2025 and beyond , and sometimes we think , god , what are we doing ?

Speaker 1

What is this that you have built for us ? Yeah , when we in content creating , especially , what is this Like , I'm like , are you sure ? So many times I'm like , are you sure ? Though .

Speaker 1

Are you sure this is where you want me . And then we both got this word and he's just like create , create for the people . And then , in the long run , you're ultimately bringing people to me , and I'm just that's how I thought of it . Yep , we are bringing people to him and we always pray at night . Bless me on my journey to you , bless us on our journey to you , and my kids are like when we die .

Speaker 2

Yes , Because that's what we're here for we're all dying Ultimately . Yes , spoiler alert , say it like Father Harrington . Yes , spoiler alert , we're all going to die .

Speaker 1

Yeah , but yeah , on our journey to him . Yeah , and whether you are a believer or not , joy comes . You know he comes from the Lord . You are so right , so .

Speaker 2

Yes , exactly . So if you are even on a smaller scale , like bringing joy to someone in your day , that's kingdom work . A smile , a smile , yeah , and acknowledgement hey , I see you . Oh yeah , them work . A smile , a smile , yeah , and acknowledgement hey , I see you . Oh yeah , I know what you mean , like you're validated , you're important , you're special , you're seen .

Speaker 2

That's god's work , oh yeah you know , it is small little things , acts of kindness , it's just , it goes a long way um , two scriptures that were on this little printout that I liked colossians 32 Whatever you do , work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord , not for human masters . And then Matthew 5 16 . In the same way , let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your father in heaven . Ask God to show you how your gifts can serve others , and look for opportunities to use your creations to uplift and encourage those around you .

Speaker 1

Oh , that's so good , isn't it ?

Speaker 2

perfect .

Speaker 1

Okay , and this morning we got a message you want me to read it , or you want to read it , you read it . So she sends me a message , and this is the kind of stuff we send to each other all the time . When we get a message like this , we text each other and we're like , okay , look , this is why this is .

Speaker 1

This is why we're doing what we do . This is why we keep going All right , and this is from Amy . I will just I won't give her last name , but this is from Amy and she says a heartfelt thank you . Merry Christmas . God is using Cajun Mamas to bring Jesus and laughter to so many hearts . We feel the love of Jesus through you and Sarah . You , too , are bold in your faith and it shows sweetly . It's the highlight of my week to watch your podcast or see your post . I know your post will always be kind , funny or just real life . Thank you for sharing devotionals , co-assurance devotionals , prayers for God to bring others to Jesus through your business and ministry in 2025 . Blessings to you , sarah , and your families . Love Amy Like that . What a good way to sin and God working through her . You know just people telling us . You know , yes , this is where you need to be right now , this is where I want you right now . Yeah , and she just she texted me a screenshot of that and she put a reminder that we're doing kingdom work . You know .

Speaker 2

And what a blessing . It's such a blessing and every time like I just feel so humbled , you know . So , like I feel honored , honored , and I can't believe that God chose us for this Right .

Speaker 1

You know , even though it doesn't like , it might be like oh , you're really you're really reaching here . Yeah , but it is , though , because you don't know y'all really so many people stop us and are like you make my day I've been at night , I binge , watch your videos to make me laugh , and I can go to sleep , and it's just like you know , it's like the joy Of all the other things you could watch .

Speaker 2

You know , that's what I think Like of all the other garbage , or like you know , whatever .

Speaker 1

In some small way , we helping you through your day or just reminding you to laugh throughout your day . That's just . That's very simple . That's something very simple .

Speaker 2

Okay , let's talk about Laura Huval one more time , and then I want to talk about the word for 2024 real quick , oh yeah , quick , quick , okay .

Speaker 1

Speaker 2

Yes , laurahuvalcom , go check it out .

Thrive and Followers

Speaker 2

Okay , so my , my word for 2024 , do you remember ?

Speaker 1

yours , I don't remember mine okay .

Speaker 2

I remember yours , I don't remember mine , but I remember yours it was Thrive , and I remember thinking like of course I want to thrive .

Speaker 1

Everybody wants to thrive .

Speaker 2

But I had to look up the definition of it because I was like , okay , what really is Thrive ? And I put it on a post-it note at my desk when I read this it means to grow vigorously or to flourish , okay . And so at the time this is the beginning of 2024 , cajun Mamas was rising , but not to where we are right now . I was still working at home , part-time , but like at my desk , feeling not called to do that anymore , but couldn't step away all these things . And I'm like to grow vigorously , like this is for , this is going to be for Cajun Mamas . Like I knew it , I felt it and in the back of my mind I was praying and hoping it would also be for , like my limelight business . So wrote it down on a post-it note so I would see it all the time Fast forward , just like a few months and , looking back on 2024 , that's exactly what happened .

Speaker 2

It's exactly what happened To grow vigorously . I mean , within a year , I went from less than 2,000 Facebook friends to 102,000 followers on Facebook . Like , I have the frissons because only God can do that . Like you can say it's algorithms and whatever , but I firmly believe it was all God , you know .

Speaker 1

Like we have In one year . In one year , we had a friend call us and say , okay , but are you paying attention to Facebook ? And we were like no . And she was like I need you to pay attention Because Facebook was our wheelhouse you know , and so we kind of thought we knew TikTok , whatever , and so Thrive is exactly what we did and I'm like what a word , because that's exactly what happened .

Speaker 2

And then , through all these new followers we've gotten , we've been able to form , make connections with so many women through . They want limelight too . So our , our other business has grown through this too , which was a totally just unforeseen blessing . Oh my gosh , yes , you know , and that . So that grew and , like we were , we've hit promotions and made hit milestones in that business that we've been dreaming of for years .

Speaker 1

Oh , my gosh .

Speaker 2

And it's just like .

Speaker 1

I just can't believe it's so real , it's so exciting for us because we were like we're going to do that one day .

Speaker 2

We're going to do that one day .

Speaker 1

You know we're going to do that one day and but we were like , probably not , though you know , like always in the back of my head , probably not . And I just want to talk about the word follower there . Okay , for a second . A follower is you , is somebody who subscribes to what you are doing .

Speaker 2

Putting out there . Okay , what you're putting out there .

Speaker 1

But I thought about the word follower and I was just like what did Jesus say ? Follow me . And so , with us being and having so many followers , that's again just another thing that we can bring people . That's again just another thing that we can bring people his Jesus's light and they can become followers of the true person you know who we're supposed to be following . So anyway , I just thought about that . I was just like Thrive yes , we did , and we got more followers . But in getting more followers we are doing ultimate kingdom work , hopefully .

Speaker 2

Yeah so okay , so tell me about Thrive yeah no , that's , that's what I wanted to say is just how I know that was absolutely a God thing , because , you know , I don't believe in horoscopes . I don't believe in like you can say , oh , what's your word for the year , and it may , you know , may or may not have any meaning to you . I don't believe in all that , but I do believe , though , that God will use things to affirm things for you , and that was definitely for me , that was definitely for us , and it just Because we throve . We throve . We'd be thriving , and I hope we thrive more , I know , I hope the thriving ain't , ain't stifling we ain't .

Speaker 2

I hope we thrive on thrive on , thrive at 25 see that would have been more appropriate .

Speaker 1

Thriving 25 , but god said no , we gotta create keep creating , keep creating .
