Only Believe: Holy Week

This week felt like a Holy Week love letter straight from God to me. I’m recapping all the ways He reminded me — loudly, softly, unexpectedly — that He sent Jesus to die just for me. From the little moments to the big ones, His fingerprints were all over my days.

Sunday’s message, “Only Believe,” hit me right in my heart and spirit. It was one of those sermons where you feel like God pulled up a chair, looked you in your eyes, and said, “Daughter, this one’s for you.” And honestly, it was.

I’m sharing everything from taking Easter bunny pics with Asia and Fay, to the way God answered prayers I whispered months ago — giving me the space, the freedom, and the grace to heal in real time. Hosting on Easter Sunday felt like another reminder that He restores what felt broken.

And then there were the unexpected blessings — like Friday night out, getting to see Lo, and somehow ending up watching 1/2 of Les Twins dance at a battle… after forgetting my wallet at home. Only God could turn my forgetful moment into a whole testimony and a show.

Saturday was a sweet reset with my bestie, the kind of day that fills you back up without you even realizing how empty you were.

Holy Week showed out. God showed out. And I’m just grateful to be living in the overflow of His love, His reminders, and His intentionality. Tune in — this one’s for the heart, the faith, and the journey.

This Is Where I Landed with Shayla
I’m in my bold, soft, God‑led becoming era — and I hope this episode reminded you that you’re allowed to take up space too. Step into your power, step into your softness, and choose the version of you that feels aligned, peaceful, and undeniable.

Hello, hello. This is where I landed with Shayla, and I'm so happy to have you here. If this is your first time landing with me, hi, welcome. I hope that you come back again. I hope that a dream a gem hits you, that something drops, and you're like, ooh, I needed that. Or, and if you are a return lander and have been rocking with your girl for a hot little minute, as always, hello babe. My friends just left. It is resurrection Easter Sunday. The vibes are high. God is good. And all the time, God is good. Hello, Saints. How are you on the opposite side of this audio? I hope that all is well. I just um yeah. Um, I hope that all is well. I hope that you had a beautiful, beautiful holy week, that you had a great weekend. Uh, that obviously your Easter resurrection Sunday was amazing. Mine was full of love, full of joy, but a little bit of chaos. Shall we start? Because oh, do I have a word for you today? Well, um, woke up this morning, very happy, very thankful. I had a dream last night, which actually um my aunt came through so clear to me. My aunt Nita, she passed away a few years ago, and she came through so clear to me in a dream, and we was just Cacklin and Kiki and which we really did all the time, and she was just pouring into me, which she used to do all the time, and it was just so necessary and so needed, and I'm just so thankful for that, and that was just a really great way to obviously start the day, but also I just love that. I love knowing that my angels are so close that they are able to tap in in that way, but I also love that I am able to receive messages like that, um, just to remind me that like I'm not alone because sometimes I struggle with that, and I've told you guys that before. Um, and yeah, that was beautiful to be able to see her face and just like have a familiar moment. Um, and her being my dream. That was just so sweet. And I woke up early before my alarm, okay, on a Sunday. Shout out to me. Um, I woke up, I put my gospel playlist on, and I just vibed out and cleaned. I was hosting today, and yesterday I was out all day. Me and Asia had a bestie date, and yeah. Actually, should we just go back and like rewind from Holy Week? Because Holy Week, let's just talk about it. Holy Week is the week before Resurrection Easter Sunday, okay, which is obviously in preparation for when Jesus rose again. Well, he put me not he okay, let me rephrase that. He showed me how good he is, how faithful he is, and the importance of having that faith, not just in God, but also in myself, to trust and believe that I will know when to make the right decision at the right moment. And who did he show me? And I am so thankful. I will share that testimony um when the time is right, but just know that everything that I've been praying for and hoping for, and I've been telling you guys that I know that God is going to do something and come through in a way that I could not imagine. Well, He did it, He did, and that is the goodness of God that is what I come on here and share and you know, give my testimony and my life experiences because ask and you shall receive, knock and the door shall be open. That is something that I always say. It is also a verse in the Bible. Unfortunately, I do not know the verse off the top of my head, but I do know that it's in that it is in there. And if you are listening to me for the first time, I always say that you know I'm working on being able to remember the actual like verses and chapters, but I do know like the scripture, I just cannot sometimes tie back. But anywho, um, I'm working on that. We're all a work in progress. Every day I'm making progress to create the life I want to live for myself, period. But I've been saying that, and my friends know, and I've been saying this on this on the pod too, that I believe that God is going to blow my mind, that my miracle is on the way, that my breakthrough is on the way. I believe that God didn't bring me this far just to bring me this far. I believe that I'm supposed to be still. I believe that I'm not supposed to take any action until I hear that I'm supposed to be taking action. I've been saying that, which is like, oh my goodness. Sometimes when God comes through, it's a little bit mind-blowing because it's like, dang, I was saying that in faith and in belief, and then it happened. And I've been saying when it comes to my job specifically, that I was not to make any movement until I heard that I was to move. And I told you, I've been telling you guys for a hot little minute, just like I didn't know if I want to stay, what if I wanted to go, if I wanted to change careers, what I wanted to do. And God allowed me the opportunity to really sit and think about that. And for that I am thankful. I am thankful, not the most ideal way, but he came through in a way that protects me and provides for me, and for that I am just so thankful. And so yeah. Yeah, it's it's a humbling moment when God answers your prayers. It's a humbling moment when you remember crying out and asking and pleading and hoping and you know not knowing, right? Because faith is difficult in a sense that you have to believe in something that you cannot see for something that you don't know will ever actually come to fruition. And today's sermon was um was on belief. Like, wow, and this whole holy week just continued to show me that if I believe God will do exactly what he said that he will do, and he did. And I mean, wow. On uh oh, excuse me, on Saturday, um, I had a dream that I don't know, I don't know if it was a dream or if I was just sent to like I don't know, but literally I woke up and okay, so it was I was yeah, okay, that's how it was. I haven't like thinking in real time, but it's been a long weekend, which has been great, but it's definitely been a long weekend. Um yeah, Saturday I woke up and I heard Read Matthew um six, it was six, seven, and nine. No eight, which was interesting, but it was six, seven, and nine. And when I went to the Bible app on my phone, because my Bible was on the couch, but I had just woke up, and obviously my phone was there, so why not, right? Like, and I went to the Bible app and Matthew was already open. That was the last book that I was in, Matthew 28. Interesting, I know. And what is Matthew 28? The title of that chapter is Jesus Has Risen. Uh girl, right? I saw that, I said, Oh, the Lord is speaking for real, for real. Like, God spoke to me so much during this holy week and just affirmed so many things, and just literally paved out an open runway for me that it's kind of just like wow, like to believe, and then again, have your prayers answered in just such a way that you know it is nothing but God, and the way that things work out is just the amount of gratitude that I feel for the way that God really made everything so aligned just for me to know that He did that just for me, and it's like that's what Resurrection Sunday is all about, and I like I'm it really God is really a comedian. I always say that because it's just like wow, like you really did that, big dog, like you really showed out for me, and he showed out for me when he died on the cross all those years ago, and when he was crucified, nailed, like beaten, like you know, and it's like he did that for us so that we could have opportunities where we need him, and he's able to come through for us. And it's just like wow, it makes me just so thankful. And you guys already know I live in a state of gratitude because I know what it's like to be at your lowest, I know what it's like to feel depressed, I know what it's like to feel angry, I know what it feels like to having like to feel anxiety, I know what it feels like to have sadness, I know what it feels like to have sorrow, I know what it feels like to have joy, I know what it feels like to feel like you have nothing, to feel like you have no one, to just be in a place where you just feel empty. And I also know that through that, what has taught me or what I have learned through all of that is that God, like, there's no way that I could be where I am right now in this moment, but just in general without God, and for that I'm so thankful. And if God, if Jesus, or if God would have never sent Jesus to that, where would I be? Where would you be? Like, and that's the thing, and it just makes me so grateful that someone loves me so much that they would do that, you know? Like, that's the whole part of the Resurrection Sunday is really to understand, at least to me, is to really understand how much God loves, like, how much God loved us, but also like Jesus literally knew that he was going to die, like he knew that for like three years. He was fully aware, and he was telling his homies, aka his disciples, he was telling his homies like y'all, I'm out. And that was a piece of the sermon that I really enjoyed, uh, you know, that Pastor Jabin had reminded us is that Jesus knew that he was going to die. Like Jesus knew exactly how it was going to happen. And he was telling and giving people like, you know, like his friends, like, hey, like, you know, like I have this little time left, my boy, you know, like this is gonna happen. And then when it happened, they were like, huh? And then Jesus was like, I told you, you know, it's it's kind of like that too. Like when God shows you signs and it's just like, okay, like, okay, and then it happens, and you're like, it's happening. And it's like, yeah, he already said that it was gonna happen. Did you have faith that it was gonna happen? Were you able to see it through? And I think like the perseverance, but also just like the like what? Like God sent his only son to die for me and for you. And when you think about that, right, like it is a personal relationship. So for me, I'm like, he did that for me. Like he sent his only son to die for me. And again, the series of events with the past two weeks, but this week specifically, within a matter of literally three come on, three days, and I've been telling y'all that three, I was waking up at 3:30 for a really long time, three o'clock, I see 333 all the time. And it's just like this week was like it all made sense, and sometimes you have to go through an immense amount of just all of it to know and have a moment like what I experienced where it's like God was there the whole time. He was there the whole time. He was there eight years ago when my brother passed away. He was there three years ago when my dad passed away. You know, he was there what how many years has it been since my grandma passed away? A lot of years since since my grandma passed away, right? And he's seen me through all of those things, the hardship, the trials, the tribulations, the all of it, the good, the bad, the ups, the downs. And he stayed with me, but also I stayed. And that is what I want to remind you and encourage you on the opposite side of the audio is sometimes, not sometimes, you have to stay the course, you have to believe that God is going to do exactly what he said that he was going to do, and that was the like main point of the sermon today. It's only uh only believe, and it's like, how spot on is that? Only believe was the sermon today, and the keynotes were believing, not earning, believing, not trying, believing not working. Like, we don't earn any of these things, and you're not trying to do any of these things, and working towards those things, it doesn't get you those things. You have to believe. Well, I don't want to say it's so like it's simple because it's it's not, it's not, it's not, and I don't even want to downplay me believing like it's something that's an easy thing to do because I don't want you to think that it's an easy thing to do, because it's not, it's actually very difficult to have a level of belief and faith in something that you cannot see and that you don't know if it's actually going to come to pass, and that is why God blesses you in the way that he does, because all through all of that, you still chose to believe, you still chose to know that if you keep going, if you keep believing, if you keep having faith that God will do exactly what he said that he would do, and yeah, that was actually really hard. It wasn't easy at all, and that is something that I, you know, I think is important to remember is that it's not going to be easy, it's going to be hard, it's going to be extremely difficult, actually. And you're going to have to continue to pick yourself up every day and do what God told you to do. And who is being obedient difficult? And, you know, like pushing forward and being unsure and you know, doubting yourself and losing yourself. But whoa, whoo? Thank you, Jesus, that I was able to find myself again and learn to trust myself again and have faith in myself again because I didn't. I lost all of that in myself, and slowly, little by little, I've been finding it again. And last week I had and I finally found the faith in myself and the trust in myself and the belief in myself to make a step, a huge step that will help me to be able to mentally heal. And all glory to God because that was him. He told me to make a move, and because I was waiting, I was in anticipation, and I was literally seeking to hear from him, being still. Like Jesus. It's it's a beautiful thing to have someone that's in your corner that is rooting for you, as well as my angels too. They're all up there, you know, co-conspiring in the best way possible. And I'm so thankful. And church was amazing, it was amazing as always, but that word really hit for me because it took a level of belief for me to be able to get to where I am today. And if I did not believe, I would not be sitting here talking to you on the opposite side of this audio today. Luke 24. Um, why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, he has risen. Remember, he told you. Because yeah, I like I said, me and God always locked in, but when I needed him the most, when my heart was broken, when it felt like it was stomped out, like there was just no goodness in the world, and I couldn't see anything but darkness, I found the light. And I know it sounds like, you know, like, oh, God is no, I mean, he is. He literally is the light, he is the light of the world. And in those dark moments where I was crying out, begging, pleading, he was there for me and he showed himself to me, and I was able to learn him and call on him, not only as a father, but as a friend. And at the end of the uh the sermon, ooh boy, I was just listening and just reflecting and just feeling what he was saying, and it made me cry. It was Revelation 3 20. Look, I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will share a meal together as friends. Let me read that again. Look, I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will share a meal together as friends. I have said so many episod so many episodes so many times on this podcast that yes, God is our father, he is the best daddy, okay, the best sky daddy ever. That's what I call him that. But he's the best dad, and he because he knows everything that you need. There's nobody that knows you like God. And the thing is, is that we forget that he wants us to be friends with him, he wants to be our friend because he wants you to come with him, come to him with everything. You don't go to your dad with everything, but you go to your dad with the most important things, but you go to your friend with everything, and he wants you to go to him with everything. When I tell you I go to God with everything, I go to God with everything. Everything. Why not tell him everything? He already knows. You're not keeping a secret, babe. Like, there's no secrets between you and God. He already knows. So you might as well let him in on your deepest, darkest secrets, okay, on your biggest goals and aspirations, what you're looking for, what you want, what you need, what you like. You might as well just go ahead and you know tell him about it. Because once you do, that's when things really start to change. Because again, there's no secrets. He goes before you, he already knows what you're gonna do before you do it. Hello, like there's no secrets here, so it's like letting him in and creating that relationship where you can go to him for everything is amazing, and ultimately that is the goal because that's what he's seeking from you. And it was just a beautiful reminder. Me, Faye, and Asia went to church together, and it was really beautiful. We got there early because our church, the thing about City Light is one, we definitely go to the Fly's church in Vegas. I don't think there's another church as fly as City Light. The people we put in the fits on, okay, and we love to see it. Our church is very diverse. There's black people, there's white people, there's Asian people, there's Hispanic people, there's everybody. Everybody goes to our church, and I love that because a church should look like the city, one, and our church is really big on that, and then two, it should look like the people, like it should be a mix of people serving and worshiping all together, and I love that. And our church has a lot of young people around our age, so um, it's really nice to look around and see so many young people that are all just like actively pursuing God. I think that's just really cool. Um, and so they had two different photo areas, which I thought was really nice and cute because obviously people want the Easter pics, and so we took a cute little picture in this um like one stage photo area, and then I was like, Yeah, I want to take a picture with the Easter bunny. So I had them take a picture with the Easter Bunny. Um, and like just how cute is that to have those memories with my friends, to go to church on Easter and experience that with my friends. It's just beautiful, and to experience such a beautiful Resurrection Sunday. Um, so yeah, got up clean this morning because I was hosting after church, ran a few errands to get some uh sushi and fruit because that's what was gonna be on the menu, and South Carolina played UCLA today for the March Madness Championship, the women's championship, and boy, did I crash out in here today. I obviously was not a huge crash out because my friends were here. Um, but yeah, I still couldn't help it. I definitely crashed out. I didn't cry though, so shout out to me, but I also didn't cry because I didn't watch the full game. It was like three minutes left and I just couldn't do it. So I ended up changing the channel the Celtics were playing, and we were winning. So that was happy. That made me happy. So um, while I did crash out, and it was just really unfortunate to see us get whooped like that. Um, after such a I think what it was for me is so the semifinals, we played UConn, which is also another amazing team. We beat them by 14 points, held them under 50 points. That has not happened to them all season. They were also um uh undefeated. We beat their uh, you know, like their undefeated streak. We gave them their first loss of the season, sent them packing, ended their season, and then something happened with the coach of UConn and Don Staley. He made a comment to her, it went left, he acted a hot ass mess, excuse me, Lord. And yeah, like he just completely took the thunder away from that team, and the huge accomplishments and the coaching and the players and all of those things, and it just put a really bad damper, honestly. And then for them to lose the way that they did after that, I just I don't like it. All of the series of events, I just am not messing with it, but so yeah, that was not the highlight of my Sunday. I was really hopeful that we were gonna win, obviously, and we we didn't we lost very badly. Um, but the Celtics won, so I'm thankful for that. That's why you gotta have two teams, okay? You gotta have options all the time. Um, and so yeah, the girls came over. Um, and like I said, I had sushi for them and fruit and all different types of drink options. One thing about me, I'm gonna keep a beverage up in this house, honey. So if you want a poppy, a olipop, a sparkling water, a body armor, uh what do you want? Because I got it, I'm sure I do. Um, and so yeah, we hung out here. We had really, really great conversation. Um, I put some music on because yeah, I know I love a DJ set, and we just had the DJ set in the background, vibing, um, and yeah, just having good, good, good, good girl time, good, good, good girl time, and just pouring into each other and just being like a soundboard and a listening ear. It was great. I enjoyed it. I enjoy hosting, so anytime that I get to have people over and I get to, you know, just make a safe space for them, create a safe space where they can just relax and just be. I love that. I thrive off of that. I am the hostess with the most this, period. And yeah. So Friday, we went out first Friday, because now I'm going backwards because I have to tell you about church first. Um, but yeah, Friday. Um yeah, we went out to First Friday, which I've told you guys about before. It is like a huge block party that they have here in Vegas every first Friday of the month, and so we went out there. Uh, did a little bit of walking around, which they have like the vendors, the art shows, all those things. There were so many teeny boppers, and I'm like, that event didn't used to be like that. It used to be like more like people our age, but I don't know if it was spring break or what. But oh my goodness, there were so many teeny boppers, and you could tell that they're young because they look like babies, but they're dressed not like babies. And um, well, y'all know what I mean by babies, like they're young, like, but they're dressed like I don't know, like what happened to kids being kids? I don't know, I don't know. Am I old now? Because I'm like, what happened? Like, so yeah, um, and there was just a lot of them, a lot of them, and then uh we go to this dance battle, which I've told you guys about. So, walking up, because it's at a bar, walking up, mm-hmm. I go to open my wallet. I mean my wallet. I go to open my bag. I look to Asia. I said, Asia, I don't got my wallet. She look at me, I look at her, she looks at me. She looks at me, I look at her, she looks at me, I look at her, she says, so what do you want to do? You wanna go? I said, I could finesse it. Because one thing about me, your girl is a smooth talker. Okay, I could sell salt to a slug, and people always tell me that. They're like, oh my gosh, like you're selling me. I know, I know. Should I go into sales next? Um, and uh yeah, so walk up. It's a security guard that we've seen time and time again because hello, we go to the same event. I walk up, I said, hi. Um, so I have bad news. And he looks at me and I'm like, I forgot my entire wallet at home, but I come here all the time. I know you've seen me before. And you know, like, but you can look at her ID because she's 30, we're the same age. Like, my birthday's July 31st, I'm a Leo. Like, I literally said all of that just like that to that man. I just acted it out for y'all. He's just standing there with her ID out. Like, look, look, it's look, look at my ID. He looking at he looked at Asia like Asia was the one that forgot her ID. It was so funny. And I'm looking at him like, so you gonna let me in? Like, um, our friends were already there. We had people waiting for us, and I'm like, please, please, please, like, oh, please let me in. He let me in. Ugh, gave me a wristband. I said, Yes, stop. Come on, my lord. Like, it was just back to back. God was showing up for me, okay? So we get there, we're seated, blah, blah, blah. Okay, they're going to the dance battle. Good, good. We're seeing new people that we never saw before. Boom, boom, bam. Now we get to the last round of the dance battle. Like, um, it was like the qualifying rounds. He gonna say, and from France, Lowe. Who walks out? Who walks out? Who? Who? You're never gonna freaking guess who walked out. Low of the Les Twins, one half of Beyonce's backup dancers. Yes, yes, yes, he was there. What is ironic? Okay. Hello, symbolisms. What is ironic about that is the very first time that Asia and I went to that dance battle, him and his brother were there. And we got to see them dance, and ever since then, that's what hooked us in. Because what the heck? What are you doing here? And you also don't pay to get in there, which is also wild. So we watched him twice now dance and battle for free. We paid no dollars, zero dollars to get in there. Ultimately, he won. Duh. Cause who would have beat him? Who could have beat him? Like, and amazing dancers. I'm not saying that they're not amazing, that they but who could have beat that man? Like, huh? He's he's one half of the less twins. There's no touching him. Like, as he would go, and then like, you know, like they're like voting, like, oh, who's the next one? Like, okay, why are we even doing this to the other person? Just say, okay, next, like, but oh my goodness, amazing. 10 out of 10. Even though we did have some visitors, and I need to have Asia back on the pod because yeah, we had some visitors. You know, I'm tired of going places and people gonna know where I'm at. And I never had this issue until obviously I started meeting people in this town, and now I know people, so when I go out, there's a possibility that I'ma see people. But I also don't like going out knowing that somebody knows that I'm gonna be there, so they're gonna be there because they know that I'm gonna be there. That makes me want to throw up. And yeah, so don't do that. If you on the opposite side of this audio know that somebody goes somewhere that they put you on to and y'all don't mess with each other no more, don't stop going there. Let them have their spot. Please, please let them have their spot. Don't go and then talk to them. Cause why are you talking to me? Why are you talking to me? Why are you talking to me? Like I digress. So that was Friday. Saturday woke up Saturday morning. Asia and I, Asia done, signed us up for a twerk and tone, y'all. Get to the twerk and tone. We were early. Surprised. I know. Cause freaking frack is always late. Um, yeah, but we were early, 10 minutes early. Uh the location was not what we thought the location was gonna be. Uh, based off of what Asia saw online, it was she thought it was gonna be on a rooftop. It was not in a rooftop, it was at a classroom. Um, but it was cute, everybody was really nice. There was another Shayla there, wild, uh spelt the same way. I know, I was shook. Anytime I meet somebody with the same name as me, excuse me. Oh my gosh, that's rude. Anytime I meet someone with the same name as me, I'm like, What? No way. Um, but yeah, so went to the twerk and tone class. Definitely twerked, definitely toned, okay, because I was sweating and my legs were hurting. Um, and we had a nice class, we learned some dances. Um, I also just for the thousandth time remembered that I'm not coordinated. Uh-huh. Um, but I was doing this little one too, and was my heart beating out of my chest? Yes, because I don't like attention, and those type of classes give me the ick. And I still went though, and I had a good time. And there was this one funny part that now me and Asia just think is so funny. Um, we I was in the back, Asia's in the front, because it's like obviously two lines of people, and at one point in the class, the teacher says, Okay, switch. Who's in the front goes in the back, who's in the back goes to the front. Oh no. Asia turns and looks at me. I tell her, I said, I'm not doing that. Like, no, I don't want to go in the front. Like, one thing about me is people think that I like attention, and I don't. I actually don't like attention at all. Um, if you could act like you don't see me, that is actually preferred. Um, because yeah, I just don't, I don't like attention. I, and I don't mean this in a cocky way, but I get a lot of attention, but it is not attention that I'm seeking. And I don't want the attention. I don't want you to talk to me, and I don't want you to look at me. I'm actually very shy. Like, and I think people are typically surprised by that, but I'm actually very shy. And to be put like even in the front, like obviously there's other people in the front, like I'm not just the only one in the front, but I'm in the front. Oh my goodness, and then I gotta dance. Oh lord, and then I gotta follow steps, and I'm already not coordinated. I was stressed out. So then the teacher turns around and she's like, Why are you still in the front? Here you go, Asia. She says she's not doing it. My jaw dropped in the back of the class. I'm like, Wow, you snitch, you just gonna tell on me. Like, I told you that in confidence, okay? Like, uh, so then the teacher's like, oh no, no, no, no, no. So what did I have to do? I had to go to the front. And then at one point we're dancing, obviously twerking tone. Hello, you gotta throw some little booty. So here I am, twerking, here come the teacher. Hey, hey, hey, pointing at me. I'm like, please, no. Please, I had the smallest booty in the class, and here you come hyping me up. No, don't, okay, because I don't think that I'm doing good. I'm like, please, no, then people are gonna look at me. And then what do they do? They looked at me. I'm like, oh gosh. Yeah, I'm actually a shy individual. Surprise, I know it's surprising, but I feel comfortable with John. You know, you know, you know, you guys have made me feel comfortable. Also, it's just me in the closet, and yeah, I mean, that's what this started out as. It's just me talking to me, and whoever listened and picked up something from it, love it, but I think that's what makes me comfortable is that I'm just here sitting in my closet, chatting away, talking to, you know, my podcast besties, and just recapping my weekend. Y'all know I love a weekend recap. Um, and then yeah, after the twerking tone, we went to BJ's. We had some BJ's is like a local, well, I don't know if it's local, but it's like an American restaurant, they have a little bit of everything. Um, and then yeah, we ate, we had great conversation, lots of laughs. I know people hate sitting around us because all we be doing is cackling. Like I hyenas. Um, and so yeah, we had a good lunch, and then after, what did we decide to do? You already know we went shopping. But Paxson, we went to the outlet mall, the outdoor outlet mall, actually, which was really nice because we typically always go to the one that's indoor, and we went to get some shoes, and uh um then we ended up stumbling upon Paxun, and they were having buy one, get two-free. Well, I'm gonna need my two-free, so had to buy one, and yeah, so we did a little shopping, lots of walking. We walked around that whole plaza, honey, because we couldn't find the stores that we were looking for, and then we got lost because there's different parking garages, went to the wrong parking garage, had to walk all the way around to the parking garage that we actually parked in. When I tell you my legs were done, they were done. And then Asia looked, we had walked over 10,000 steps. She said, Oh, I walked over 10,000. No, we walked over 10,000 steps. We've been together since 10 o'clock this morning. We walked 10,000 steps, girl. Yeah. Over 10,000. Like, then after that, went to Asia's house, hung out, watched TV, watched. She got me over here watching Kendra G. If you never watch Kendra G, just go ahead and look her up on YouTube. Um, then we watched um, yeah, we watched a lot of Kendra G. I stretched, I needed to hung out with my uh doggy nephews, Minor and Marble. Those are Asia's dogs. I was at Asia's house until like freaking 10 o'clock, 10 30. Came home, gone to bed, woke up this morning. Thank you, Jesus. And yeah, that was my weekend. Uh nothing but God. Nothing but God. And I hope that you on the opposite side of this audio just remembers to be faithful. Remember to believe, remember to believe in yourself. That I believe is what blessed me with God being able to answer my prayer is me really believing in myself and taking a bet on myself and stepping out on a faith, on faith like I've never stepped out on faith before. And God said, Okay, I see you, I got you, I'll take care of you, I'll supply all of your needs. Don't worry about it. It's gonna work out way better than you ever expected. And wow, my god, way better than I could have expected. And I just hope that you on the opposite side of the audio just keeps the faith. It's going to happen, it's just not going to happen in your time, and that's why patience is a virtue. And I'm saying that as somebody that is still actively to this very second, okay, working on my patience. But man, have I come a long way. And yeah, only believe. Only believe. I love you. I'm sorry that I didn't have an episode on Friday, but I was told not to. I was told to be still. And boy, boy, boy, boy. Did I hear a lot? Did I learn a lot? Did I grow a lot in the stillness in just the past what five days? I would say from Wednesday to Sunday, five days. God has shown out He has exceeded my expectations. He has done exceedingly abundantly above all that I could hope, think, or imagine. And I know that this is just him showing me just how good it's going to get. It's only go I keep telling you guys, it's only going to get better. It's only going to progress. It's only up from here. Stick with me, baby. Okay, because I'm telling you. Remember, you are that guy. You are that girl. You are whomever you choose to be. You are one of one, honey. There is nobody like you. There's nobody like you. There's nobody touching you. There's nobody with the energy like you. There's nobody with the aura like you. There's nobody with the vibe like you. There's nobody with the style like you. You are that guy. You are that girl. You are whomever you choose to be. And I love you.
