The Respect of Rest

The Respect of Rest

Today I'm speaking on the importance of REST and how we should Respect Our Test... Depression makes you want to sleep all day not put on clothes not doing anything but when you rest you meditate when you rest your body gets a chance to refresh and it restores itself and it renews itself The one you sleep and you just sleep all day you're not giving your body a chance to renew itself You're not giving your mind a chance to wake up...

Only for the Overcomer

Only for the Overcomer

In this episode we go over just what it truly means to Forgive. At this time of year it is so hard for some people to forgive : people in their own families, old friends, past loves or just someone who has just brought chaos into their life and sometimes it's hard to keep moving forward so in this episode I'm just giving a few strategies on how I have been able to overcome different emotions and still am overcoming those emotions by expressing my words, journaling, recognizing an offense immediately, talking with the offender. These steps were essential in order for me to truly forgive and step into the purpose that God has for my life.

Interview with Queen Sahra Cooper

Interview with Queen Sahra Cooper

Queen Sahra Cooper is most certainly a woman walking with a purpose. It has been a journey for sure she was raised in a home with an atheist and baptized at age 13. Married a nonbeliever and alcoholic which she stated was very challenging to be married to someone that doesn't share your beliefs. A few years ago met her current husband and feel it was God-ordained. The crazy story of how God intended for them to be together but timing is everything. As she stated We had to get through things to appreciate a mature Godly relationship. Currently, my husband council my ex-husband when he needs someone or Godly advice. God saved me from Covid as I was an ICU patient. This was a clear message to me that God was not done with me and I still have work to do. Since then God gave us a business to use as a platform to share the good news and how god is still moving in our lives. We do bible study 7 days a week. Focus on making every day count and living the kingdom life and not the worldly. God is teaching us many things in the season; how correction and acceptance are necessary for change to occur. When you hold on to baggage(hurt, pain, anger, jealousy) too long, it gets heavy and speeds you down. My daily schedule is to wake up at 5:25 and then report for duty at Jefferson barracks till 2:30. Talk the kids into doing chores them argue with them how it's not abuse, lol but a life skill. Dinner, doing tasks for our business and kids bible study and our bible study. Her children include : Joe who is autistic: when he was 10 I had to run to the store. (he has a very inquisitive mind and likes to know how things work) on that day it got the best of him. He took apart his bean bag and literally threw the foam beads in the air and kissed it. It was snowing inside our home. I could have started yelling but understood honestly the damage was done so I let him and his little sister play in it. Cleaning up was a whole other issue with anxiety attacks. Arrianna is very strong-willed, beautiful, reclusive, and doesn't care to be social. Joe is good at art, intelligent, and funny Kiara is strong and smart as she speaks parts of 10 different languages, and is big into fitness, she also has her candle line and has dabbled in motivational speaking. Challenges are self-esteem and social interaction. Fun things that the family is eating in this season...The new thing I made that the family loves is a keto cheesecake. Heavy cream, cream cheese, alternate powdered sugar, and lemon zest. Everyone loves it. I do put just enough gram crackers in the bottom for taste but use plant-based butter. Self-care- If you don't take care of yourself you cant take care of others. Invest in yourself you are worth it and valued. We are actively helping to plant a church. We love God and people even the imperfect ones. We are also involved in Men standing Positive. Sahra's Covid- Testimony will bring tears to your eyes.... Lastly, I want to share my covid story as we have or know someone who has gone through this. It has been a trying time. I was at home resting two days after being diagnosed with covid. My health very quickly started to crash. The hospital medical team wanted to see me virtual, they said I needed to go to the hospital. I asked if my husband could take me, we were 10 minutes away, and they said no you won't make it call 911 right now. I was supposed to go to ICU but they had no beds, they wanted to intubate me 3 diffs. Times my lungs were at risk of collapsing and were reliant on oxygen. I couldn't speak to my family for almost two weeks as I had a mask that covered my full face. Wouldn't see any family for 18 days and wouldn't be released for 20 days. While I was in the hospital My husband was praying for a new business and for guidance to get through this season and God does answer prayers.

 Queen are your conversations causing you joy or misery???? ( Stop sitting with people who anchoring your boat of purpose )...

Queen are your conversations causing you joy or misery???? ( Stop sitting with people who anchoring your boat of purpose )...

00:00-3:00 Prayer - Covering any person that might need a little encouragement 

Marie's Interpretation of a Queen 

Topic Scripture :

Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Queen is so much than what we see on the outside. Setting our value - being beautiful on the inside and out .


6:00- What does it mean to step into the shoes of a queen -Do you have any of these characteristics if not you might be using the word incorrectly.

Leader, patience, servant - everything starts with your heart 

Real , genuine, loving in-spite of... knowing that what comes from the heart reaches the heart.... 

Matthew 15:18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.

Respected and HEALED, Uplifting  ... ( Sit with women who are healed the conversation is different ) 


13:25-How do you walk in your purpose as a Queen...

Only by the grace of God &prayer and treating my purpose like a mom treating her new born baby ...

know who she is, whose she is and where she is headed and even through there heartaches they trust in God to restore the Queen back to her position  ....

20:00 Ending in prayer ( Your life is purposefully planned by God) 

Dec 03, 202123:54
IMM-W2W- Having the spirit of Preparation - If you stay ready you won't have to get ready....

IMM-W2W- Having the spirit of Preparation - If you stay ready you won't have to get ready....

Marie Maxie gives a dynamic example of what it means to have the spirit of preparedness as it relate to Jesus. During this conversation Marie explains that women prepare for a lot of things, weddings, birthday parties, new job, work, concerts, cruises, going out, traveling, and even date night, there is no preparation is too big or too small to talk about.  However, she saves the best for last ending with the most important event we can prepare for and that is the day (we are in no hurry for it) we meet the Bridegroom Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. WOW! Ephesians 5:27New International Version 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

5:00 Are you holier-than-thou-

The world is so backwards that it's easy to get caught up in doing the wrong thing  

10:00 - Going from people pleasing to God pleasure

19:34 There are are so many things that can keep you from being close to perfect but the one that keeps most women ( including ME) are the feelings of hurt and unforgiveness, its so hard carrying unforgiveness around or even the condemnation spirit can become an impossible burden to bear alone) Marie compares many of the circumstances that we face to the main event or sports event that you love to go see, you prepare weeks in advance, save your money to buy all the right clothing get their early just to ensure your seats are right but when it comes to going to church just the thought of waking just a little earlier to get their on time can be overwhelming  It's so funny the things that we are willing to endure for an event that we would never tolerate at church. 

32:14 One apple can spoil the the whole bunch 

You can either be the person that keeps it real can or keep it Real FAKE- Its so many many ways to please God it doesn't have to look like any body else praise but what ever you do must be from your heart and must intentionally come from your heart ( No more lip service )

40:00

Let God take center stage stop taking up God's time... 

50:00

Ending in a POWERFUL prayer 

We Do Not OWN the Rights to any of the songs but we love this artist

Queen speaks to a King moment on that Dreaded word Submission🤔😭😣...

Queen speaks to a King moment on that Dreaded word Submission🤔😭😣...

In this episode Carl & I are joined by our second co-host Daniel 🤣 Listen as we have a open conversation on the word submission as it relates to marriage.... There are so many components that go into being a submissive person:starting with willingness, one can not be forced into submission it has to happen naturally and organically and due to it being something that will confuse & upset your flesh as you and your spouse are on this journey so give yourself grace.... Hubby bought up a great point of how SUPERMAN allows himself or chooses to submit to the government... As a STRONG individual submitting does not limit my strength but creates an atmosphere for balance in my marriage .... Ephesians 5:22-33 King James Version 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Girl I'm just too busy for all that....

Girl I'm just too busy for all that....

So this morning listening to just everything going on around me,I decided to take a quick moment just to make time to spend with God today.I also want to start taking time through my busy moments and moments when it is quick to say ... I'm just too busy for that ... How many times do we go throughout the day saying oh I want to do this, I want to have this ministry, I want to call my best friend, I want to do this I want to make dinner for my house, I want to spend more time at church,. I want to volunteer... but I'm just too busy now it's one thing to have these I wouldn't say excuses... but have these reasons to stop you from doing things in your house but what happens when these reasons start hindering you from God or hindering you from your time with God ....Ooh I can't spend time with God right now because I have all these things to do+What if God looked at us and said I can't help you through your storm because I'm too busy ?🤔 So today I thought about that and wanted to know your thoughts on what do you do How do you spend your time when you feel yourself becoming too busy to spend time with with God. Today, I hope to give you a little inspiration and a little encouragement on how you can sit down and make time not just for yourself but intentionally making time with God even when it's not intentional 😂 Lol... Right making intentional time even when it's not intentional OR PERFECT So when you feel yourself actually becoming overwhelmed you feel yourself having a lot of anxiety you feel yourself not feeling like yourself that is the perfect moment just to stop and say God what do you want me to do? Show me your way be with me how do I sit still? How do I sit still in this season to give you your honor to give you praise? Hopefully, I answered all these during this conversation but just wanted to spend a few moments with you this morning... I hope this gives you encouragement I hope you are able to get something from this as well Be blessed please like share and repeat this podcast 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

Stop listening to FOOLS...& Start Listening to the Wise council in your life

Stop listening to FOOLS...& Start Listening to the Wise council in your life

Hello Queen if you are like me sometimes you get a little weary about listening to so many different people's advice(it can be overwhelming 🤯) and in this short 5min covo I discuss the importance of knowing the difference. LISTENING to the wise people in your life compared to just listening to those without any expertise in the field that you are seeking... This is a life lesson for me and one that I'm still learning how to embrace💚

Are you keeping it real Or should you be Keeping it Real Quiet ?

Are you keeping it real Or should you be Keeping it Real Quiet ?

In this episode my husband and I are just openly talking about a few things on our minds related to people keeping it real with you... ( I remember🤔 Dave Chappelle Show had a segment when Keeping it real goes wrong 🤣😂🤣) but in life it's crucial to know the difference in to people who are giving you constructive feedback 👏🏽and those who are just creating conflict😫. Discernment will keep you knowing the difference and having a strong connection to the WORD📖 will give you the right words to say & place you in the right mindset 😌to either move forward or move away from your verbal abuser🚫🗣... You don't have to take hearing someone's thoughts on you that are not encouraging YOU ARE ENOUGH &YOUR PURPOSE IS GREATER THAN THEIR PLANS👏🏽#purposefullyplannedlife

Cafe' Conversations Moment of Prayer over all children But especially our black men & boys

Cafe' Conversations Moment of Prayer over all children But especially our black men & boys

Why Do we need prayer over our boys and men right now?

For Queens to regain our Queen status as women and to no longer be both Mom and Dad in our household, either by choice or force. We MUST start praying for our men to become more  Godly Men, Better Leaders, and Fathers for our sons and for us to excel. Take a moment to pray with us today and listen to Minster Yasmin speak on the importance of supporting our Black Men.

 Learning How to Forgive Yourself During The ASD/ Autism Spectrum Disorder Journey

Learning How to Forgive Yourself During The ASD/ Autism Spectrum Disorder Journey

Today I was able to interview to amazing women that both have amazing children on the autism spectrum. Jackie Hibbler and Tianna Smith tune in to listen to great moms with amazing testimonies. 

Tianna Smith/ Ginaes’ Floetry Bio

I am a St. Louis Native born April 17,1983 to mother Gina Terrell and Dad Todd Cole. I have 6 other siblings. My coming into the world was a bit hard on my body. According to my mother I faced some issues at birth but I pulled through. There was a purpose for me. I developed a strong love for poetry and music at the age of 12 and I've been blooming ever since. I was always the kid who’d known that I was different from others. I had what you call an old soul. I was often told I had been here before.

I married my wonderful husband Theodore “Ted” Smith 12 years ago. My husband is my biggest fan. He has literally pushed me to this elevated level...I am a mother whose testimony plays the biggest role of who I am. I have children with multiple disabilities. At least that is the world's tag on them but I'd like to use the term "Children with the greatest abilities".

Just like their mom I am raising young authors.

Tianna Smith "The Release 2018",

Theodore Smith "A boy called ME" 2020.

The Holy spirit is what prompts me to do what I do.

I encourage and inspire through my many talents.

I have multiple gifts that are activated. I compose, sing, dance, and motivationally speak.

l delight in what I do because it is solely from my heart. I took a leap of faith towards making my dreams come true in 2018.

A quote I leave you with:

"You will never know the measure of faith you have until you use it" - Ginaes’ Floetry

Thank you so much for your time and consideration
