Hello, beautiful. Take a breath. You're exactly where you need to be. Welcome to the Big Eye Girl Podcast. A space for real conversations, honest reflection, and learning how to see life through a bigger, wider lens. I'm so glad you're here. Whether you press play because you're searching for clarity, growth, or just a moment to breathe and feel seen, you're in the right place. And around here, we talk about things that shape us the challenges, the shifts, the lessons, and the quiet moments in between that often matter the most. This is a space where you don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to be open. So wherever you are right now, driving, walking, or just sitting with your thoughts, settle in. Take what you need from this conversation and allow yourself to see things a little differently today. Let's get into it. And it was the song went, he it came to him. Well thing I I miss, baby, that man is anointed to sing. He is a prophetic singer. I ain't gonna lie about it. He would create a song in the moment, literally, in a moment, on that pulpit. And he came up one and it said, It's a new season, it's a new day, fresh anointing flowing my way. Like literally. For a little bit. We made little sticky things, you know, marketing material came out. And as I was getting preparing to talk to on this podcast, and I'm reading my script and things, I'm like, I'm ready. I'm talking to me. These last two episodes, this y'all are getting my authentic. I won't say y'all not didn't get to my authentic self in the other ones. Y'all getting my real time. This is my real time. The other ones have been things I have overcome, I've conquered by the strength of God. Like literally, ain't no lying about that one. But these last two episodes, this is this is where I'm at. And it's not because it's the good things. No, I've been in I've been in some places, obviously, y'all already know some of them. But right now, this episode is I'm ready. And I usually don't even say the episode name in my podcast, but I'm really getting um, I guess, away from my script so much because I'm starting to get used to this new thing. Again, new thing, new season. It feels exciting. I got a lot of things, I got a I won't say a lot of things, but I got a few heavy things on my plate right now that are new for me. And since you may be in the same boat that I'm in, like you got some things on your plate that seem bigger, better, overwhelming, exciting, scary. You want to do it, you don't want to do it, you into it, you're not. It's but the thing is about it, it's also unformule your territory. Yeah, you don't know nothing about it. For real, for real. You you think you know because that confidence, like we were talking about, you think you know because the call, you think you know uh uh because of your relationship with Christ. You like, yeah, I know what I'm supposed to be doing, and you have some little bit of you have some breadcrumbs that have gotten you up to this point, but really, you we don't know the full totality of it, you don't know the whole full scope. You're seeing it walk through, you're walking through it. Me doing this podcast is not something familiar for me, it is all so unfamiliar. I'm learning how to do a lot of different edit, uh, different platforms, apps, adding to it, expanding it. Is this it is times where I'm like, is this worth it? I should just stop. Then it's another project that I trying to get off the ground, and it's all exciting, but it's unfamiliar. And with that unfamiliar, you start to feel like, oh my goodness, I'm excited, I'm ready. You know you're ready, but it's some things that's holding you, some little things, right? And some things I've realized that put a like uh, I won't say a pause, but it kind of it's trying to hold you back, is releasing the old. And sometimes the first thing we go to, we think people. It ain't necessarily people. You got this far with me. Thank you. I appreciate you, appreciate your loyalty. Keep tapping in because I'm only expanding this. Got some ideas that I'm about to put to I'm about to put it on the flow. That's all I got. That's all I have. But releasing with this newness, this new season, this transition, you cannot step into the new while gripping, gripping the old thing. Old mindset, old patterns. Oh, I'm gonna do it this way. Oh, I I I can just, oh, I can just go ahead and do it this way. If if I can't get it like this, I can I know I can get it like this. If you use that phrase right there, I know I can get it like this. That's an old pattern. Stop it. I just seen, I just visualized, you know, back in the day when you're spanking your baby hand when they touch something, was you know, you didn't get CPS caught on you. I digress. That's what I seen. Let it go. Let it go. Let it go, sis. You're ready. You so ready, you're ready with not knowing it all. You're ready with taking the little steps. You you're ready with what you got already. Oh my goodness. Thank you, all the ghosts. I told y'all, this is real time for me. This one right here, and the last one, episode 11. These my thing. So I'm on, I might stumble a little bit, and this is my rawness of the podcast. A lot of this is not scripted. Be so one honored with y'all. Change brings excitement, fear, uncertainty. It does. That's why people don't like to change. I'm gonna tell you that one. That's one thing I should I know for sure. I've lived long enough to know why, and I'm human. Emotional transitions are taxing, honey. Emotional transitions will take you out, will stop you in your footsteps faster than a physical thing would. Um you could be physically fit, physically good, and something emotional hits you, and you're not ready to change it. Hmm. You're gonna be like, you're gonna be stuck like you're gonna be just stuck, like you in quicksand. I know what I'm saying. Me doing these podcasts and showing up for y'all, showing up. This is not just showing up for people that are listening. This is showing up for myself. Y'all, I am doing this for key. Y'all don't understand. Y'all are getting my overflow, and it's finally time for to. Oh, I can say that. I'm not doing this to perform for anybody, I'm doing this out of obedience to Christ because it's filling my cup, it's building my confidence, it's showing me that I am ready and sis. If you listen to this, bro, if you tap in, because you just like, yeah, my my girl be listening to this. You ready to everybody ready, but I'm gonna tell you that the change is gonna be excitement, then you're gonna be excited. That's what's gonna keep that's that's what's fueling you. That's like keeping anticipation there. It's gonna be some fear there because you can't see the whole thing, and we are people, humans, we want to know what's the next step. I want to know if I'm gonna fall because I want to know how to how to fall. You wanna know how to fall, bro? Is it gonna be a face for a fall? Should I release it all? And it's gonna be some uncertainty. And with that, if you pair with somebody in your relationship with somebody and you're evolving like this, you have this is why you need to be so locked in with God in your singleness. Because when you have learned how to navigate emotional transitions in your you evolve from them and it changes you, you know how to equip yourself, partner with someone because you were partnered with God doing it. Now you're partnered with that person in God. You were threefold, you are so that's a tight rope right there. All these emotions, all of it is valid, though. Like none of them is non-valid. Your fear is not non-valid. All excitement, fear, certain. You won't, you're gonna, you're gonna probably experience a little bit more than those two. Because I have experienced each one of them. It's times when I was just like, I ain't gonna lie to you. It's the other project that I got on the floor. I want to do it, and I just literally last week was like, okay, God, I'll go do something else. I go over here, go get this, go back into the schoolhouse, and start teaching the students this way, and God is telling me to do something else, and because it is taking so much out of me emotionally, and then financially too, I'm gonna be transparent. A lot of it, I don't, it's not a lot of expense, but when you are no bud, that's the fact financially, it's the juggle, and this is the pay, this is the space where being a single mom, sometimes we go back to comfort, we go back to the thing that culture is saying to do instead of trusting God through the process when it's slow, when it's not doing nothing, where it's not no traction for real, or really people not really tapped into you yet, because everything you know the market is saturated, but are you really trusting? I won't say if you really trust God because it's not about pray harder, fast more, things like that. Not those things are relevant, those things you need to do, but it it may be things that within your own emotional state that God is trying to show you about yourself that you need to do to unlock a door within yourself to access what is on the other side for you. I'm in that space. Oh my goodness. All I know is God is when we gotta trust in the shifts. Oh my it's like being on a roller coaster, and I hate them. I hate roller coasters. I didn't as a kid, but I hate them now. Yeah, the older body don't mm-mm. Sometimes I'll be like, I don't know what type of child I was. That was just outside doing whatever. But being on a roller coaster, you had to you trust that little thing, the arm rail that goes over you. You like this about the truth gonna keep me from doing all the loop-de-loops? It's gonna keep me from falling out into all the rails and stuff. But we trust this machine, this man-made mechanism. Oh, that was a word. That was a word for somebody right there. That was one for me. We trust the things that man made, but we don't trust the very thing that God made, which is us, and that we have it within us, baby. You are ready. I want you to say it to yourself. I am ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. God is intentional with transitions, he's in every detail. He's a detail-oriented God, creator, king of kings. He knows the number of hairs on your head, sis, on your baby's head, on your mama's head, your auntie's head, your brothers, your your uncles, your daddies. He knows the numbers of our hair strands on our head. And you don't think he in every detail of your transition. He don't know that you're struggling, right? He knows we're struggling, but he also is fueling us with what we need. He's also fueling us as long as we stay in his word, as long as we stay prayed up, we stay releasing the things that are old, the patterns, the thoughts, the ideas, the behaviors. We gotta release those things to be able to fill our cup with the things that are new, that is gonna bring forth good fruit. When you're when we go in, you're not gonna get all the clarity. Because baby, I didn't think that I was. I started this podcast. When is this month? Jesus, it's May. Was it February? Yeah, February, Valentine's Day. I started this podcast. I literally started this podcast with what I had, and that's what God kept telling me. Literally, he kept he took me to the scripture in the Bible where the widow went to, I think it was Elijah, and um I'm gonna look it up because I don't wanna I don't wanna think about it. I don't want nobody to be like, oh she don't know what she's talking about. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Nope, nope, I'm on. So if y'all hear the pages turning, it's because I'm I'm looking it up to get the the correct one for y'all. For us all. Because I got it highlighted. I just can't think about because my mind is on this on that. The story goes, she went to Elijah and she said that she didn't have any money, her kids would they would um she owed some debt collectors, and they were gonna come get her kids. Cause back then that's what they they would come get them kids, you own a debt. And she reminded Elijah, like, my husband was a man that feared God. Elijah, like, what you want me to do? And um, Little like I need your help. Like, what do you mean? And then he then he said, What do you have in your house? And she said, I have some empty, I have a little bit of oil, olive oil. And he said, tell your tell your kids to go get the oil, go get some jars, collect them from your neighbors, and get them in pour. So basically, she she did that. She gathered as many as she could to fill up her house, and she was pouring and pouring. And she poured, she filled up every jar that they could gather. So she went back to Elijah and he said, Okay, that go pay off your debtors and live off the rest. Baby, I'm ready. I'm ready, sis. You ready? I'm ready. That's a song, ain't it? Yep, all the songs you come into my head. Um, you're ready. I'm ready. I'm saying that to say. When I started this podcast, God kept showing me, reminding me of that scripture. Lord, where is that? Holy Spirit, where is that scripture? I just repeated it, I believe very well. Um He kept reminding me that I have what I I already have what I need within me. It's in your house. So some of I'm probably not talking to a lot of people about this. Some of y'all got so many gifts and talents. It's in your house. Don't look back outside, don't look outside your door, don't it's in your house. Use what you got, show what you have, market what you have, love what you have, show it off. Because it's no way in the world, people who do not believe God, who don't trust God, can profit, do all the principles of God, and the people of God can't. It's because we don't want to use what we have. We keep thinking that we got to take another class, do another this, do another that, do get another training, go do this and go do that. When you need to just work what you have first and pay up all your debt. Pay up all your debt and live off the rest. Yo, all I know is that the guy. That I serve is not a man that he should lie. And the guy that you serve is not a man that he should lie. He's not. He's intentional about us. He's intentional with every detail of us. He's intentional about our transitions and how we move through them. How we trust him through it. Oh my god, he loves us. And as we step forward in faith, we step forward in obedience, we step forward in the call, we step forward in our confidence and stepping forward and saying that I'm ready and I'm ready to show up and I'm ready to do the will of God of what He's called me to do. Oh my. Stepping forward. You don't need all the clarity. Guess what? Guess what you need? I told y'all that story of the widow. You just need willingness. Sis was willing. She said, Oh, what? Go get some jars? Oh, okay, let's go get them. And she wasn't too proud. She wasn't proud at all. At all. Because once she went to the man and God and said, Help me, that's humility. Then she humbled herself a little bit more. Well, he said, What do you have? A little bit of annoying oil, that's it. We're gonna die after that. No. God said you ain't dying. You know your children ain't dying. Not on my watch. God is faithful and you're ready. We ready. Say it with me. I am ready. I am locked and loaded. I am locked and loaded. You are locked and loaded, and it is going to be a good season. Yes it is. So if this resonated with you, do me a favor. Comment ready. Share with another sister. Share with somebody else.
