#88 S4 EP 8: Miracle Sims' Quest: Unveiling Love and Divine Destiny through Faithful Singlehood

#88 S4 EP 8: Miracle Sims' Quest: Unveiling Love and Divine Destiny through Faithful Singlehood

Imagine embarking on a journey where the quest for love intertwines so intrinsically with faith that it transforms every aspect of life. That's precisely the story Miracle Sims brings to our conversation, as she lays bare her heart on the challenges and victories of being single, the hunt for true love, and the ultimate connection she found with God. It's a tale of small-town dreams blossoming into divine purpose, and through her vivid testimony, she infuses hope into the hearts of those walking a similar path.

Our discussion takes a profound turn as we share our own stories, highlighting those moments when the pursuit of an acting career and earthly love seemed paramount, only to discover that the real script was being written by a higher hand. Miracle and I reflect on the life-changing revelations that realigned our goals with God's plan. It's not just about romantic love—our dialogue unravels the deeper essence of spiritual love that fulfills and surpasses the mere physical connection we often mistake it for. The show's very title, 'God, Sex and Love,' serves as a gateway to understanding this intricate web of human desires and divine destiny.

Completing our journey, we land on the crucial practice of daily inspiration and the power it holds to ignite transformation. I open my heart about the personal milestones achieved by immersing in scripture since April 2020, culminating in the birth of a talk show, the crafting of books, and the production of a movie. This is a testament to the fact that success is not just about external acclaim but celebrating the joy found in living out your purpose with clarity and strength derived from a relationship with the divine. Join us, and let Miracle's story inspire you to find your own worth and direction, with the compass always pointing towards the love that comes from above.

Speaker 1:

Hello, hello, welcome back, god's diamonds in the rough. We are so glad to be with you one more time. You don't know who I am. I am Catherine. Michael is not here today with us, but I do have a co-host with me on today and we are diving deep. You heard me, y'all, I'm telling you, diamonds, we are diving deep. The spirit is ready on today, absolutely. We have a young lady and her name is Miracle, amen, miracle Sims. And look, I'm telling y'all the struggle has been real getting her on here, amen, we didn't have everything from internet issues to timing and all of the above. The enemy is afraid of what's about to happen. Hallelujah, there is a shaking getting ready to happen in the spirit for some folks, amen, and we are absolutely excited about it. So, miracle, if you would say hello to everybody and then after that we are going to pray.


Speaker 2:

Alrighty. Hello everyone, thank you so, so much for having me today.


Speaker 1:

Yes, ma'am, very excited for this conversation. Yes, ma'am. So everybody, let's go into prayer. Father, we thank you so much one more time for your grace and your mercy. Thank you so much for just allowing us to come together and get into your word. I pray, in the name of Jesus Lord, that you would just have your way in this conversation, father. Have your way, lead the way in the name of Jesus. Father, we bless your name and we bless your people. Pray this prayer in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We do pray. Amen, amen and amen. Hallelujah. So Miracle one more time, because y'all, we didn't try this already. We just I'm just being a little bit transparent Y'all know how it is. Amen, the internet just gave us hell. I'm just going to say it like that.


Speaker 1:

It really did, and so we just had to start all over. Amen, because we don't want to bring sloppy stuff to you. We want to bring the very best. Amen, because it is for God, and we should always do that Give him the very best. Even if you got to start all over again, you're come on somebody Hallelujah. So, miracle, would you please share with our audience who you are and what it is that God is doing in and through you.


Speaker 2:

Yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am. Well, I guess, look, I need to first start off by saying that look, that was the internet and the enemy. You don't go ahead and just call that out of rebuking, it.


Speaker 1:

Hallelujah, that's right, that's all right.


Speaker 2:

Like I said, we're going to push through. I'm here today. You need to call me later. We're going to get this thing done.


Speaker 2:

So usually I start off things by saying that I'm a small town girl with big dreams. I come from a town called Jackson, georgia. I grew up with the dreams of being wanting to be on stage in theater or things of that nature, but in my small town there wasn't that type of opportunities. The long story short. I usually will find, or I used to find, ways to hone that gift and talent, whether it was something I realized that I wanted to do and yeah, I mean I guess I've always kind of felt like an underdog in some ways, but I'm thankful. I'm thankful for each part of my testimony because they all play such a major part in my life, as well as the things that I do. So I kept going for that dream of performance and whatnot.


Speaker 2:

I ended up in Florida, of all places. I know that New York and LA is usually where people go for acting and things like that, but I ended up in Florida, walking out, walk, business world and living on my own, single woman in my 20s, and even though all of that was great, it was a great. You know I call cultivation period for me, but one of the things during that time that really grew was my relationship with the Lord, because even though I was somebody that grew up in the church my mom is that you guys and things like that I grew up knowing the Lord and knowing of Jesus and things of that nature. But I would say those years in Florida, those five years that I was there, was that time for me to grow and feel the relationship with Him myself. One of the things that led me to that was my desire for love and marriage and all of that. And here I am, you know, a single, horny Christian woman saying Lord, where's my?


Speaker 2:

husband, because you said that we're not supposed to do X, y and Z.


Speaker 2:

So what?


Speaker 2:

And I want to do X, y and Z and that's a lot of reasons that y'all can get my book or we can go I don't know how deep go and talk to them, but that has a whole journey of testimony on its own, that part.


Speaker 2:

But I'm seeking the Lord about why I'm not married and he's showing me that because I need to be close to Him and so, yeah, I mean again, that's another long story short yeah, that was a really forwarded time of my life and honestly I thank God for that time of my life every day because I feel like now, being on the other side, I am married, I have a wonderful, a little anointedly adorable little boy, and you know to be on the other side today. I know it's all because of that time of my life and the changes I made at the time, the prayers, the journey that got me through as a single Christian woman, and yeah, I mean there's so much more to talk about and say, but that kind of gives at least a little bit, I guess, a context of who I am and what I'm about. To a certain extent that's just a little drop, I think.


Speaker 1:

Yeah, I can definitely appreciate that because you know I was that woman as well for a very long time and I can truly say, you know, I get exactly what you're saying. The intention today, you guys, was for us to be talking about self care and you know, if I'm just listening to the spirit, I just feel more led in the direction of talking about singleness and the struggle in being single, living for God and waiting for love. I'm going to say that again.


Speaker 1:

Being single the struggle of being single, loving, you know, trying to do it the way God says, do it. And you know waiting on love. And you know I feel like and you tell me if you agree or not I feel like the church doesn't talk about it enough.


Speaker 2:

I guess now I definitely agree. Like I was telling you all during that time, I was looking for content as a single Christian woman to keep me on that straight narrow. Cause I'm like, what is the point? At the end of the day, nobody else in my generation seemed to even be thinking about this stuff. And you got me over here feeling convicted and all of this. And you know, I'm like, why am I, the one over here got to wait? Well, I gotta be, you know. And basically during that time I was just being on YouTube looking at content and things like that.


Speaker 2:

Now, this was back in the day, like we had to actually upload it and you know, it's just like that, like I had an actual digital camera. But anyway, again, long story short, basically I was looking for content and in the Christian community there would be Christian talk shows, for example, online, but they would only go so far with the conversation and I couldn't relate, cause I'm like ain't nobody else going through what I'm going through? I need to hear somebody to go through what I'm going through, you know. And then on the flip side, you hear the secular content. Of course they talk about everything over there, but then they're not talking about what I need to hear again as a single Christian woman, somebody that's again, like we mentioned, trying to do it guys way, which is a struggle, you know. That's another thing that I talk about a lot on GSL, but it's like you know, I feel like the narrative is we've come to Christ, everything in teaching and creed, and it is right, but at the same time too, the Bible is clear about the persecution. The Bible is clear that you know you're going to have trials and tribulations. It doesn't say those things are going to go away.


Speaker 2:

So, as a believer, when it comes to the dating aspect and again being single and stuff like that, there's a tax happening with you Like me, and maybe you know unbelievers, maybe they're not experiencing what you're experiencing as a single person trying to date and trying to, you know, get married or whatever the case, maybe trying to abstain and all those different things. And so you know it was a struggle for me being single and Christian and again trying to navigate it all. But I'm thankful again for the journey. I'm thankful for I'm not saying here's the thing, I was perfect and something like that. You know, I was someone that held onto my virginity until like my 20 years and stuff, but still you know what I mean. Like you know, there's people that I met they didn't even kiss until they got married. So to know that people had that type of restraint is, on a whole nother level, you know.


Speaker 2:

So I think all testimonies are valid. I think that person's testimony is valid. It just says the person that you know feels short and God lifted the backup. Everybody's testimony is valid and important because there's different people in those different categories and so, honestly, you know, like I told you earlier, I'm gonna open books or whatever you wanna know about the journey I can truly share. I mean, I wrote a book about it because I feel so strongly about that to hopefully help the next person.


Speaker 2:

You know have a little easier time than I did and you know I got the platform.


Speaker 2:

I call it God, sex and Love that you know we've had all kinds of conversations on, but I definitely wanted to make sure I touched those conversations and, honestly, one of our most popular episodes, the question I had back in the day what am I supposed to do as a believer? I renamed the episode but basically when we filmed it it was called like what should a Christian do when you're hot and bothered. And so and we talked about it from a single perspective as well as American perspective, and that's one of the top viewed videos that's on my YouTube channel right now God, sex and Love YouTube channel. And so, and I'm glad that we that conversation is out there now because that's the conversation I needed to see in here when I was single, and so, honestly, there's so much to say about it, and that is my little jam, as they say. So I guess I'll just pause and see if you got something to ask Well, I mean, it's something that we need to talk about.


Speaker 1:

I mean it's you know, I don't understand why it is that the church is so afraid to talk about things that are happening in this world. People will jump on the topic of politics and they'll jump on the topic of race, but what about something like sex? I mean the value of it, because we live in a society where sex is not even valued. It's just something that you do when, biblically, this is a covenant. This is a covenant thing that can change your life, like literally, because you're, because the reality is that when you talk about sex, you're talking about becoming a part of another person. Right, that's the way that God intended it. He intended sex to be one of the many ways that we become one with another person.


Speaker 1:

And you know, I'm just one of those ones. I wanna talk about real things and I want to really help people who are struggling, and there I know that there are people here that are listening, that are young, that are single, that are divorced, that are just struggling with their we can just say struggling with their hormones, loving God and struggling with that. So you know, in your book you say you've written a book. What's the name of the book?


Speaker 2:

Yes, ma'am, the book is called the Cultivation Period of Single Christian Sturning.


Speaker 1:

Oh right, and in your book, talk about the book. What can we find in your book? What's up with your book? Yes, ma'am.


Speaker 2:

So it's pretty much like a memoir up to a certain point in my life. Again, it was written during that time that I told you about the time in Florida in my twenties and what I was doing at that time. It didn't start out that way. It was supposed to be something else For me and a friend of mine. I was going to write from the single perspective and she was going to write from the married perspective, because at that time I had a lot of married friends. I'm like you got some man da, da, da, da. And they were looking at me in my life like were you single and you living on your own and you doing your thing? And I'm like, but you got your man at night or whatever you know. And so we were going to both write our different perspectives and put it in one book. But I was writing my part, taking notes about things that I had learned and challenges that I was giving myself at that time, because, again, god was pretty much showing me hey, you want to be married, you want the things that you're desiring. Then you need to change. You can't be the way you are, and there's a lot of things there again, but so it's pretty much like a memoir. Up to a certain point in my life I kind of started at the beginning of where I felt like my desire for sex and things of that nature came from, and I would say that it's the unfortunate part but it's again a thing that I don't have a problem talking about is that I was introduced to things of sexual nature kissing, bondage, things of that nature at a younger age, and I believe that's where that desire stemmed from. I had it been probably like four or five, probably four, because then my sister was born outside, so it was before my sister was born, I believe. So basically, the babysitter felt the need to introduce me to kissing and things of that nature, touching her, things like that and so here I am, growing up with this desire to masturbate and I'm growing up with the desire for wanting that touch and that feel and things like that and holding on, like you know, denying myself in a lot of ways, especially when it was always something I thought about throughout life but I never really talked about it, things like that.


Speaker 2:

And then, of course, experiencing things in college, because you don't even touch the things out or whatever, and so all of that type of stuff is in the book, because I felt like it played a major part of why I was dating the way I was, the guy that was dealing with the way I was. I didn't again try my best not to have sex right, but that don't mean I wasn't bored playing and all that other type of stuff. And so that's what I mean, like again as a believer. For me I was never comfortable with what I now know it's in. But then at the time I'm like you know, you would hook up with whatever name. Like you feel bad afterwards Because, again, a true believer with the whole spirit, you're going to be a victim, and so you know. And so I was going through that. And then at some point I'm like, well, lord, okay then, well, where's my husband at? Then, you know.


Speaker 2:

And then I was going to a church at the time and the minister said, if you make God's want, you're want, you're going to get what you want. And that really stood out to me, like honestly, I talk about this all the time, but that's how much it resonated with me then and even now, because that was when I was like, okay, well, lord, what is it that you want? And that kind of turned things in this direction that it is today, because, again, I thought that I just wanted to be an actor, and you know, just do you know just being in movies or whatever it is, and God, use those gifts. I do that. I am still an actor, I still do movies and shows and everything like that as well.


Speaker 2:

But basically I believe what I've come to find is that God had a bigger purpose for me and my gifts and talents and things of that nature, beyond what I saw. And the more I now I see and I was beginning to see then and I definitely see now to be on the other end and see where I'm at today and the things that God has been doing that the more I align my desires, wills, wants, all those things, with what God wanted for me. That's, not only did I start to see my dreams and things come to fruition, but then and then, yes, god bless me with the desires in my heart. But at the same time too, it was a process y'all you know, and so I, honestly, I just touched on the book and then I've also touched on the after book in regards to, like, what's going on in my life today. But basically, back then I was just praying and you know, praying for the things that I did I now have.


Speaker 2:

And so I believe that there's something to the journey that God could be through, even though every now and then you know how the enemy do each other, you know come in and make me question is that? You know, did you learn anything? Aren't you still the same? You know all that, still still try to come today as well. But I know that that was a formative time in my life and I know that again, I don't think I would be wearing today, probably here's talking to you, if I hadn't made decisions that I made back then, if God didn't take me through the journey that he did back then. And I would gladly share this with anybody because, you know, I hope and pray that their encouragement inspires us to lean in the center of the Lord and start trusting, you know, him with every aspect of their life, the way I've come to do with this morning. My life is well now. So, yeah, I'll pause because I'll start talking now and just tell you my whole system.


Speaker 1:

I just say, you know, the whole point of this is to help somebody. So you know, this is one thing that I, for me, as I understand where you are coming from and in the things that you just said already, I definitely get it. And I know, when I was out there, when I was, you know, my hormones was raging, wanting to be married, wanting to be loved. That was, that was what it was.


Speaker 1:

I had this desire and need to be fit to feel like I was loved, and I think that sometimes we can have a desire to be loved, so much so that we will allow men, women, whatever, to to the physical, I would say the physical aspect of it to, to feel that desire and when it's not truly rooted in love that comes from Jesus, that desire is never filled.


Speaker 1:

And you'll wind up you will wind up going from one person to another. I say person carefully, because you can sleep with this one and that one and have no relationship. And if you got a relationship and there is the caveat you have a relationship with Jesus, then you're not going to be able to just easily go from one person to the next person, because Jesus does he, because Jesus makes us value ourselves more than that.


Speaker 1:

And so, you know, you might just be in that, in that position where you're kind of jumping from one to the other, but we want to encourage you that it doesn't have to be that way. And knowing that it doesn't have to be that way, reaching into that bag that says that I'm loved even though I'm not touched, does that make sense.


Speaker 2:

Yes, ma'am, that makes all the sense, like, honestly, that's why the show is called God, sex and Love, because a lot of the time, even back in the day, I was thinking about Sex and Love being the same. You know what I mean. It was in the same, like when I thought about marriage and all that stuff I thought about, you know, the sex part. But then that also equals the love, like you mentioned, and you know, I guess that's that battle between love and love, as they say, and stuff like that too. We do just kind of equate it to the physical. And even today, you know, even with my husband and whatnot, today, I still have to, you know, sometimes remind myself that, okay, the love, you know, and the sex is still, you know, it's a beautiful, you know, combination, you know, and they equally important, you know, important and whatnot but at the same time, whether my husband touches me or not, he still loves me, you know what.


Speaker 2:

I'm saying I had to kind of get an understanding of that, even just probably now seeing here and talking to you, you know, because just so many ironies that happen to my life at the same time, I know it's awful, god's glory and whatnot. So, again, this conversation can go a whole lot of places, but basically I just wanted to make sure I shared that part about, you know, again, thinking that equating the sex to love. I think a lot of people do that, you know, and it's one of those tricks of the devil. At the end of the day, because there's so much to say. Like earlier, I know you, I felt like a sense of frustration when you mentioned the fact that we as believers don't have conversation, and I did it and that's again, that's why one reason I started a platform.


Speaker 2:

But also I agree with you that we as believers should have this conversation because, honestly, when we try to speak to each other, the rug sex has a lot of like a lot of the issues that we have in life like has some underlying something to do with sex sometimes you know what I mean Like people get, they work hard for money, right, they go hard for money. Why? Because they want the certain woman. You know the certain man or the certain lifestyle. You know what I mean. They want the sex. You know what I'm saying, like even if you was in marriage or whatever the case may be. A lot of issues are centered around this thing of about sex, and I believe a lot of that comes from us trying to leave God out of his creation.


Speaker 1:

Girl, oh my gosh.


Speaker 2:

Yeah, sex and just overall. And that's why I feel like a lot of the problems come from you and I'm trying to leave God out. And he made it at the end of the day, so it's not bad. I think people feel like it's bad. You know, it's not bad and I believe Christians we need to have the conversation because at the end of the day, if we don't have the conversation, what is up? What else is out there for people to when they go out here to like learn where they go Exactly To the world? They go to porn, they go to everything else, and then we over, here and now, talking about it. Well, the church don't talk about it. Bible don't got nothing to say about sex. People think that, or they even think, oh, the Bible says that it's just procreation. I ain't see that. None of my studies Right. So I mean, you know we can go on and on here.


Speaker 1:

I mean, it just blows my mind that you know, people are trying to separate God from their life and he's not. You cannot separate Jesus from your life because it is life. If you have life, then Jesus is that, amen, amen. And you know, let me give you another word, that kind of just that will help make all of this make sense intimacy, and I believe that that is what people are really yearning for. This is really the yearn and that's what I and I'm married as well, and that's what I need sometime, and it is outside of the gates of sex.


Speaker 1:

Intimacy and intimacy. You have time, you have affection, you have all kinds of things going on when you are talking about intimacy and I believe, I really believe, that that is the desire of everyone, whether you're single and married, single or married or not, you know, because, at the end of the day, that's what it's about. When you're talking about intimacy, you want to be wanted and even with your relationship with Christ, you want to feel like you're accepted by Him. You want to feel like you're good enough. You want to feel like what you're doing is right. You want to feel like you are moving at the perfect time. You want to know that you're in the right season, that you're responding the right way. All of that, for me, speaks intimacy, amen, amen. You know and they go hand in hand with this self care If you can't love yourself, how can you love anybody else properly? Can you speak to that?


Speaker 2:

Yes, ma'am. Oh, I want to say one thing about the interview. Can I say one thing? Okay, please do you know, the most important intimate relationship we got to have is with Christ. You got to have that first. At the end of the day, we try to fill it with everything else. I try to fill it with everything else back in the day. Oh well, maybe it's this, maybe it's that, maybe it's my career, maybe it's this and any other, and then kind of find feel, feeling empty, feel feeling like something's missing, feel feeling like why I'm not. I'm only trying to build my resume as an actor, but I'm getting this role, getting that role. I'm still not feeling like I'm complete, I'm still not feeling like I'm walking on my purpose. And now today I wake up and do my morning show. I call it the juice, and it's literally me. I, whatever I said that morning, and then I just share it in the morning, get up doing that for field. Why?


Speaker 2:

Because I'm having that intimacy with the Lord at the end of the day and I believe I had to go through the course of the patient period and all of these things to understand that Because the intimacy with the Lord it even helped that intimacy with the marriage Pause pause, pause, pause.


Speaker 1:

You said you said something, you said a word. Hold on, hold on, hold on Before you go any further cultivate, cultivate. Tell the audience what that means. Cultivate cultivate.


Speaker 2:

So what? Basically, I consider the cultivation period is just pretty much the growing season, but at the same time too, ain't nothing gonna grow if you ain't a plant water, the sunlight, cultivating. You have to go. Yeah, yeah, we have to do all of that.


Speaker 1:

Yeah, preparing in the ground, it's awesome, because Garner's gotta prepare you for what he want to give you. Just come on somebody, girl. Going back to your thought, I'm sorry, I'm the spirits, just gone.


Speaker 2:

No, that's okay. That's okay. I know you wanted to talk about so here. We didn't get. I mean, well, long story short, like so y'all know I'm on the other end. You know, today, you know I am married. I do have a son. He's five. He's probably a son. I'm gonna get kind of lost here. You know what I mean. I'm a new mom. You know everything's about everybody else and I'm like I need some meantime. And so I started a group. It's on Facebook. I call it unwind self care and it's just a group. I invited a bunch of women into it.


Speaker 2:

I just kind of wanted to remind them, in the midst of all the things we do with women and mothers and things like that, like, don't forget to take time for yourself. Like every now and then I might have to lock the door and leave both my hoods and my hood out. You know, I just thought I might gotta get, you know, give myself a nice little bubble bath or something right to make sure that I'm taking care of myself, because, like they say, you can't pour from an empty glass and so. But a part of self care too is the spiritual self care too. Now. Now, that's probably more important than your bubble bath.


Speaker 2:

You know, again, this self care that I'm doing with the daily inspiration, where that daily inspiration holds me accountable to make sure I'm doing the study. For years I felt like the Lord was telling me you need to study more. I was like, okay, yeah, okay, so I'll just go read the Bible versus baby, like okay, see. But once I started doing again, when I called the juice, which is just pretty much again my daily Bible study, which is again another form of self care to me, hopefully it is where for one else Well, but I see that God really don't be speaking, he really don't be speaking and we just don't be paying attention and whatnot. And because, because I got on the journey of doing the daily inspiration it just was just I opening to me blows my mind every day the fact that one one because I kind of choked about it in the beginning I'm like, oh, I'm really going to have something to talk about every day. I'm calling this a daily inspiration, but I mean am I really?


Speaker 2:

talking every day, but, yeah, sunday through I mean well, sunday I work at my church, so I still doing it there too, but I take at least an intentional break on Sundays from waking up in the morning to do it, but Monday through Saturday, literally every day, like I'll have a break every now and then, but for the most part since 2020, april 1, 2020, ironically, I started doing this so to get up in the morning and be intentional about studying the, intentional about sharing, and it's been one of my like the different things that God has been, you know, like, honestly again, gso kicked off from that so much has has. It was like the first domino, honestly like, so that's the end thing. It was something to it because, um, yeah, it was like the first time I know the fall, like, once I committed and said, okay, I'm going to, I'm going to do it. Daily inspiration, finally get the concept and see it. So allow. Ever since then, everything else you guys see from me is is growing and flowing.


Speaker 2:

The, the talk show started. The things I haven't been working on all these years Finally started. After I started, after I committed that little intimacy, committed to that intimacy with the Lord. Then the talk show happened. Then, um, I started publishing my books. Then, um, the movie that I haven't been like, working here 11 years in the making, just came out this year. That that started getting into fruition, Like all of the dreams and goals and visions that I had the days that pretty much guy told me years ago that I would be doing, um, I'm sitting here, living today and you know, I can only give glory now to the Lord. I know some people might want to take that glory for themselves, like I know who, like I know a miracle by myself.


Speaker 2:

The things that people see, like, for example, the God sex and love channel has over a thousand videos. That is the Lord, because me by myself, my actress, miracle family, you two, for example, y'all, to see the fruits of what it was. Miracle by myself. I did maybe like, I told you guys about the whole for a man's sake. I believe I did. I did maybe like what, 12 episodes of that, and then I stopped.


Speaker 2:

Juice has over a thousand videos just by itself, um, and the channel has over that. So, like, and I'm inside about the views and nothing like that, it's about being in the content, regardless of it, don't matter if one person listens, you know, or hears it in these, whatever the Lord shared with me, or whatever that conversation that we have on the show, or whatever the case is Like. I believe that that's you know. God has changed my whole mindset about success. He changed my whole mindset about, you know, purpose and things of that nature, and I feel like I'm truly walking in my purpose these days and um, so again, I know there's someone talk about. I know you got more things to do, but I just want to share that and so hopefully we touched on the self care a little bit.


Speaker 1:

Well, I mean, I'm just I said it before I'm just one of those ones. I just follow the spirit and I just believe this is aligned with the spirit. Amen, um, and what and what has been said somebody is gleaning from At the end of the day.


Speaker 1:

that's all that matters at the end of the day that is all that matters and you know, I just want you to know that, for you, you are an encouragement to me, because I'm one of those ones that God has just kind of gave, giving me, uh, you know, a lot of different roles and a lot of different things before me to do. I mean, it's just like. It's like, uh, it really is a rough. You are almost like a reflection of me and I just kind of wonder. I've wondered well, god, hey, you have me doing this and you have me doing that, and okay, well, you know you want me to do that.


Speaker 1:

And I huh, okay, but all of it really could come to pass until. I feel my identity in him, and you know at the end of the day, we want to encourage everyone to see the diamond that God has put inside of you. You have so much value, so much work, so much beauty. Don't minimize it to uh, to what the world expects out of you.


Speaker 1:

Um and and and, and you know you, if you're single or married, either one and you lack intimacy, uh, or you, you know you, you never make time for yourself. Uh, turn to the father. He has an answer for you. Uh, he really does have an answer for you. Until you get into that divine relationship with him, you, you, everything else will be like a fog. Yeah, you won't be able to see clearly what direction am I supposed to go to? And you?


Speaker 1:

know this this show is just one of those prime examples of um of, of, I would say a clarity moment, because she or I, we was trying to trying to trying to get this get together for this interview and it just seemed like it wasn't working. Now, I remember at one point I said well, maybe this ain't the season for it.


Speaker 1:

And and and you know, and Miss Miracle, just determined to get here and I just um appreciate that so much. Uh, miracle, I do a lot more than more than I could say and I just say that to every diamond. Appreciate the process, appreciate the hard times, appreciate what is, you know, happening in your life, because you don't know what God is doing and what he's up to. But you got to be ready. He's going to cultivate the ground.


Speaker 1:

He's going to prepare you for what he's got coming for you, and so, um miracle, before we get ready to get off of here, I want you to tell us how to get your book. You mentioned a couple of things.


Speaker 2:

Well, you tell us how. Okay, yes, ma'am. So the best place to go for anything, regardless of what I do, is at just MiraclesSimscom, because that has links to everything. Has links to the book, the movie, music, like whatever I got going on y'all can see at ActressMiraclesSimscom. The link for the book is going to put in my ticket to Amazon, but yeah, yeah, that's the best place to go.


Speaker 1:

Okay, all right, and anything else you want to share with the audience, or the diamonds.


Speaker 2:

Yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am, I guess I just would say well one thank you. So so much again for having me. And look, you're too nasty pushing through for this conversation to happen. I do believe it happened right on time and you know it might not felt that way to us, but yeah, I believe it's a right on time conversation.


Speaker 2:

Like, honestly, I think what I've been observing lately is, or recently, is this struggle that we have with Trust and Glory right, the struggle with if something don't look the way that we thought it should, and things like that. And again, I think, again it's just so important, like that passage that said, and that that life changing sermon for me right was to you need to, we need to start aligning our wants with what God wants. Then you're going to get what you want. And it's not just about getting what you want, but it's about getting what God wants you to have and becoming who God wants you to be, and that'll be even more fulfilling than you ever thought. And I mean that's that's, ultimately, that's my life system. On the other side, I love it.


Speaker 1:

Amen, girl. Oh man, I love this conversation. Oh man, will you please pray for the prayer for our diamonds and pray and whatever the Lord lays on your heart.


Speaker 2:

Yes, ma'am. Well, I just want to say thank you. Thank you so much for this time, Thank you so much for the lovely diamond I'm speaking to and the other diamonds that may be listening, both male and female, you know. I just thank you for each and every person. You know what we are going through and you know that, at the end of the day, you have a purpose for each and every one of us, again, beyond our own imagination and things that we can't even ask you to give, because your plan is much, much better than ours. So I pray that you give us the understanding of that, help us to be okay with that and just lead us and guide us in your way and in a way that only that you can't lord to. I just thank you for all that you're doing with us, for us and through us. In Jesus name place Amen.


Speaker 1:

Amen, amen, hallelujah. So, wow, we're going to talk a little bit further. Again, I say thank you for being here, thank you for just sharing your heart with us and we, we. Maybe we can do it again in the near future.


Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm going to cross-cast again Absolutely, absolutely.


Speaker 1:

So come on over to us now, god's Ex-in-love, come see us All right now she has a podcast and her name in her podcast is God's Ex-in-love, correct.


Speaker 2:

Yes, ma'am God's Ex-in-love. Daily inspiration and the weekly talk show All right now.

I hope y'all, we all, jump on the train and see what you know, what else God is doing in her, because I'm ex I'm absolutely excited for you, young lady, and what God is doing in your life, and we wish you so many blessings and I just hope that this is the beginning of a relationship Amen, sisterhood, as we should have.


Speaker 1:

You're a diamond in the rough. So next week, until next week. Y'all have a blessed one, know that there is love and prosperity. Um, y'all have a blessing and we'll see you on the next time. Amen, amen.
