In Jan 2018 I had a mental/emotional breakdown. I was then diagnosed with anxiety and depression. It was a very dark time in my life. Words of encouragement from family members just didn't make sense. Getting out of bed in the morning was a struggle. Going to therapy was such a help. It was a safe place just to let it all out. But it was one day up and one day down. You just never know which day is going to be a good day. Then the day came when I decided I had had enough of everything in life because nothing was making sense. I decided that come Monday, I was going to give up my job and not care about anything. (I had been booked off sick for a few days). So lying in my bed that Saturday evening, I had a conversation with GOD. I told him I am done. This is my plan. I am going to give up my job. So He must take my broken bones and do with it what he must. I am done, but no matter what happens I know I will still have HIM. (Though you slay me, yet will I trust you). I went to sleep and woke up Sunday morning feeling like a new person. I could not believe it. I told my son that I am getting out of bed and going to work, which I did. Till today I occasionally have feelings of depression but I know not to stay in the pit. Remembering how GOD pulled me out that time is a daily reminder that GOD is strong in our weakness. Amen
almost 3 years ago, at almost 22 years old i almost took my own life. I was abused as a kid, broken, depressed, anorexic, bulimic, suicidal. I went in & out of psych units like it was a game of Chess. Suicide watch. I was on enough Antidepressants to kill a horse. I hated myself. I wanted out. I wanted the pain to stop. The gaslighting* to end. *(when a psycho makes a sane person question their own sanity, and thus think they themselves are the insane one). I wanted power. I got into witchcraft. I thought it would give me the identity i wanted, to be set apart from people who hurt me. It only made me sicker. Sicker. Thats what it did to me. The doctors said i’dnever get well. That i would suffer severe Chronic Manic depression, and never be well, that id be stuck on antidepressants all of my life. I would plot suicide on a daily basis, binging and purging my food as often as opening and closing a door. The pain was too real. People choked me. Assaulted me. Told me i was ugly, i felt worthless. Nothing ever got better. Then my mother died. The (1) & only soul who ever loved /emotionally supported me was removed from the earth. I was stuck living with people who broke me, ruined my identity, thus causing me to hate God. I thought God hated me, that he was just like the ones who tortured me, a family of abusers, who cover up all their actions with the mask of religion. I didnt know that God is on my side. I didnt know that Jesus would Love and Defend me, and fight for me and that He later would heal me, rescue me from Family. The ones who caused me pain. The ones who choked me for wearing a necklace. I moved out after family threatened to throw all my belongings on the front yard, and have me permanently institutionalized in an insane asylum, when they were the ones who caused my mental illness via abuse. They blamed me for the abuse they did to me. To take my life in an insane asylum when they were the ones who made me suicidal. Next morning i spoke with my dead moms parents who let me live with them. I stayed on the antidepressants, prescribed. But they only made me sicker. I got deeper and deeper into witchcraft, thinking it was a solution. But it made me even more suicidal. Self hatred was inescapable. All my cards have fallen down. I have nothing left. But out. I wanted out. I decided i was going to kill myself. I was going to take all my pills. But then Jesus stepped in. I didnt die. I surrendered my life to Jesus to make me well and heal me. The deity i blamed for me being abused wanted to heal me. He Was fighting for me and Loved me all along. He wanted to love me. He wanted to give me His Heart. HE LOVES ME. JESUS. LOVES. ME . Jesus miraculously healed me - i am off all drugs and dont need them and i dont have any mental illnesses. I have a job and am totally healed , full of joy. I’m now a born again Christian, in my 20’s who wants the entire world to know that JESUS WANTS TO HEAL YOU HE. LOVES. YOU.

But whatever the case, am so grateful for the love of God which shines even in our darkest places. And infuses hope and strength to get up again.
@@BlessedMwangi I appreciate you've been through a tough patch and it can make us feel low, but actual depression is something different all together and not of the spirit. Anyway, glad you're feeling better and the last thing I want to do is argue with fellow believers. God bless.
I met Michele in fortlaurdale at a brunch off the intercoastal waterways. EVERYONE there was pretentious and stuck up..but she was so down to earth and has a comfy cozy spirit..sweet energy. She was with a girlfriend and knew some of our party..I wish her all the best and love how she is sharing her heart with us. Love me some Joyce and the ladies on the panel. I feel blessed to have found this today 💓💛💖💗 🙏🏽
51 years old and I still don’t (always) know how to effectively communicate…because as a child we didn’t talk about stuff. I’ve lived a life of shoving “stuff” down. But I am thankful for a good counselor!
Even though I always prefer Joyce to be a part of the group, no matter whose in front of the camera I love how they're so open and honest with the viewers watching. Throughout the years we all have seen so many fake smiles and stories from religious leaders and preachers on TV and the internet. Coming off as if their lives are perfect and they grew up in picture perfect little families with no problems. But here we get to see and hear what most of us have experienced in our lives. So I love the fact that these ladies don't mind sitting down and sharing a part of their story and don't have to be fake phony to do so.
Jay is amazing. I cried hearing her talk because every word she said. She said it out of her heart. I had to stop washing dishes to look and listen to what she had to say. I know her experience is helping thousands of people.
I had the same feeling. Everything she was saying came from her heart, and when her voice was breaking, I've started crying, because I know the pain and pit she's talking about, and it's hard to come out of it, but God is truly patient with us.
I don't know how to thank you enough. This is a real battle. I'm several weeks into a really low end and I have no idea how or why I am like this. Or what triggered this one! I have no past trauma. Great childhood. Great church. (Joyce sat with my son 5 years ago in Charlotte NC when he was 14 before she spoke that day. He was/is a volunteer in Production and I remember drilling him on what he said lol and obviously he wasn't as excited over sitting with a grown woman in the green room as I would have been! So let Joyce know that he said She was cool with a teenage eye roll ❤😁) Watching this.... It's just crazy how I feel more sane, I don't feel so alone right now after this! I've shut or pulled away from everything on and off through the years. I wanted to thank you for 2 specifics ❤❤ You guys talked FREELY!!! It feels so good to feel finally like I'm ok that I'm not ok. 🤔 I wasn't there with you guys but "we out here" needed to Not hear another skimmed over version. I needed, Had to hear this today. Also, I didn't realize how isolated I've become and hearing Michelle's thoughts and experiences from the literal "bed for weeks", brush your teeth even if you go back to bed, and the weakness.... what a tremendous blessing to know other's get it. Her need for medication. And therapy. And the heaviness. And the smell. One host mentioned "not" being able to listen to the music. Oh myyyy... what a revelation. I started to cry. I didn't even notice until my shirt was wet. Please let her know God spoke that straight to someone as a confirmation. Just yesterday for the first time, I flipped that radio K Love dial to OFF. Then I prayed. What is wrong with me to do that!!?? But it was a song about how someone's battle was over and I was crying and repeating "You will not give me more than I can handle" over and over, I was soooo not out of mine. So thank you. Thank you all so much. I have special needs (non-verbal autism, cerebral palsy) micro-preemiee triplets who are now 19 and need me more at this age than ever before. It's time I reached back out to someone. God gave me these precious souls and a single mom entire time... they made it!! But. I can't do this alone. I HAD HAD to hear a real story or 2. God Bless you guys.
Don't let the enemy win! He wants you to trust in the sadness in the hopelessness! But God wants you to trust in Him in the hope He provides! He created you for a purpose & He has plans of hope and a prosperous future Jeremiah 29:11. Giving up on yourself is the same as giving up on God. Its telling God that you don't have faith that He can turn ANY situation around for good. He will keep you .. bring the hurt to Him & leave it there.
Jay you are beautiful and your husband is the one loosing out. Just wanted to let you know you are Beautiful and I too have depression but watching Joyce Meyers videos helps me ❤❤❤❤
I would love to have friends like this to hang out with once in awhile true Christian women. When I became a Christian I had to let go of people who I thought they were my friends but they warrant because they were bringing me down and I knew that God didn't want me hanging out with people like that. And I thank God because I am much happier without them but I need good friends in my life will going to lift me up not bring me down 😊🙏
Yes, I have to do my part to heal too, by controlling what I am thinking about, and applying what I have learned. I needed that reminder today. Thank you Lord, for all of these beautiful ladies! ❤

I really needed to hear this! The devil tried to get me to turn it off, but I didn't. I have been in a depression pit for some time now. I have book an appointment with a therapist. I was in foster care system. What that means is I had no father or mother or a loving family. I didn't have a home, not just four walls and a roof, but a home where I can feel relaxed, safe, secure, be myself. And now at 35 years old, I have a family, a loving husband and two beautiful daughters, a nice home, but find myself being increasingly restless, unable to relax, and continuously anxious and on edge at home and I know its because of my childhood. So thank you for this talk ♥️
Yes, I have found when I open my mouth and praise Him, worship Him there is a shift and my day improves. I also realize God gave us feelings to feel. Feel the betrayal or the rejection and then take it to the Father and give it to him. Ask for help. Great and such a needed discussion!
I really needed to hear this morning when i am struggling, and so glad that Kelly shared like all the other ladies shared. How Joyce also spoke on this subject. God bless each of y’all plus I’m going to hang onto this word that was shared this morning. God bless each person who is struggling with depression.
I've been on anti depressants for 12 years and god has changed my thoughts and attitudes so much that i decided to wean off them. I came off them totally on 1st january because i no longer need them. Praise God 💗 One of the best things to do when you are depressed is to help someone in need or volunteer somewhere. It really gives you purpose. I've finally beat it! Not everyday is good obviously i still have bad days but Ghee whizz 💗
@@Crownliving no, i was a christian for 4 years before I got diagnosed. I did it by the renewing of my mind and thoughts. God changed my attitude, my outlook and my thoughts 💗 and over time I didnt need the medication anymore.
In my darkest moments, I sometimes could not even utter words, or pray. So I heard in one of Joyce's messages she said, God wants to hear just a few words. Heal me, Love me, protect me. Anything helps get you out of it and connected to him. The enemy wants to silence you and keep you from communicating with your savior. for that message, I am grateful.
Help me Lord have empathy and a listening ear to all my sisters going through depression. Because he lives I can face tomorrow!!!!YES!!What a beautiful way to end this topic! I wish that more scripture will be told with references so we can go to it and claim and pray it too.Thanks.
My dear one, one of the verse I have used shamelessly till now speaks to the thought process and how every imagination that leads to fear, depression, anxiety and any other junk from hell can be defeated with one simple act, casting down all down imaginations and everything( name all those things that make you drift from what God says) that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, then bringing every thought captive to the obedience of the master himself, Jesus Christ. Read, study, speak it every second you live and watch your whole being shift. 2 Corinthians 10: 3 to verse 5. Amen
Have the conversation when a person suffering with depression experience friends falling away when someone gets real in what they're dealing with. You guys are lucky/blessed to have people around you to have these conversations.

I'm thankful ladies for talk it out podcast.I suffered depression for a long time.Until I had gotten a handle of oppression depression.Praise Jesus for the victory.
I love that this is women of different ages, mixing some of Joyce's teachings, Ginger guiding the talk, with all these women together. I love that that wisdom of godly women who are further on in life is there with women in their 30s who love God as well and have been through battles of their own. It's so effective. Really powerful talk, it stirred my heart and filled me with hope, thank you Jesus.
I struggled with depression and anxiety and have to take medication. You dont always know what you need. Talk to them . Be there. Listen to the spirit and help guide you when others need. I need Christ everyday to help me through and has helped me .
This is my first time to click on talk it out. I love it! The format is amazing, up to date, and definitely relatable. Thank God for the body of Christ and every gift

I put scriptures on and around my bathroom mirror too, because it is a place I frequently go. I can read them while I wash my hands and brush my teeth. It is easier to believe those negative thoughts cause that's part of the flesh. It constantly wants to return to the dust. We have to bring our minds up to the word. God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours. We transform by making our minds new through God's word.

Ladies this is so good thank you. Jay I understand and that is were I am sometimes I just don’t want to hear the word or anything but then I realize that the word and my worship is what will bring my healing.
Joyce is real, these gals are not discussing details, only superficial stuff that I already know. There is a lot of "beating around the bush" which I do not have patients for, it is time for some deep revelations!
Such a timely message and Mitchell's testimony felt very personal. Yes praise and mouthing the words yourself makes the difference. As Joyce shared that God will not do everything for us but we can chose to stay in that pit or get out. For me talking to someone professional after 36 years struggling with the junk, was the one I needed and fellow readers, I am DONE AND ARE FREE,praise Jesus. Because Jesus lives i can face tomorrow and anything. I decided enough with fear and depression. Praise prayer and therapy helps and I live because of Jesus work on the cross. Thank you all
I was no way to watch any girls talk tv program because I was so serious person, don't like being arround people and hard to get along with. . But suddenly, I started to enjoy watch talk it out, I feel like I'm there, and I feel I have my own bloodly sisters. . I wasn't laugh no matter how hard you guys laugh, but now, I even laugh alone here while I watch you guys. I enjoy to watch your laugh and even say "ya, ya, or hmm" in my bed room. . Even this morning before I done watch this show, my neighbor come and I ask to my self why I can't find disturbed feeling in my heart, because usually I really really feel disturbed and often not answer them act like nobody home. . After she done talk to me, she goes back to her home and I saw another neighbor, suddenly I say hi to her, have a little talk and laugh together, usually if I saw neighbor I even never say hi and pretend not seeing them. . I don't think saying thank you to Joyce and all of you is enough, because the changes I started to feel and see is something I never though that I could change, it's impossible, but yet it happen now. . May God bless all of you, abundantly, forever and ever. . Thank you so much!!

Hi beautiful ladies.thank for creating this platform. Accepted promotion believing that it is God but now lately I feel overwhelmed.

almost 3 years ago, at almost 22 years old i almost took my own life. I was abused as a kid, broken, depressed, anorexic, bulimic, suicidal.

Great childhood. Great church. (Joyce sat with my son 5 years ago in Charlotte NC when he was 14 before she spoke that day. He was/is a volunteer in Production and I remember drilling him on what he said lol and obviously he wasn't as excited over sitting with a grown woman in the green room as I would have been! So let Joyce know that he said She was cool with a teenage eye roll ❤😁)
Watching this.... It's just crazy how I feel more sane, I don't feel so alone right now after this! I've shut or pulled away from everything on and off through the years.
I wanted to thank you for 2 specifics ❤❤
You guys talked FREELY!!! It feels so good to feel finally like I'm ok that I'm not ok. 🤔 I wasn't there with you guys but "we out here" needed to Not hear another skimmed over version. I needed, Had to hear this today.
Also, I didn't realize how isolated I've become and hearing Michelle's thoughts and experiences from the literal "bed for weeks", brush your teeth even if you go back to bed, and the weakness.... what a tremendous blessing to know other's get it.
Her need for medication. And therapy. And the heaviness. And the smell. One host mentioned "not" being able to listen to the music. Oh myyyy... what a revelation. I started to cry. I didn't even notice until my shirt was wet. Please let her know God spoke that straight to someone as a confirmation. Just yesterday for the first time, I flipped that radio K Love dial to OFF. Then I prayed. What is wrong with me to do that!!?? But it was a song about how someone's battle was over and I was crying and repeating "You will not give me more than I can handle" over and over, I was soooo not out of mine. So thank you. Thank you all so much. I have special needs (non-verbal autism, cerebral palsy) micro-preemiee triplets who are now 19 and need me more at this age than ever before. It's time I reached back out to someone. God gave me these precious souls and a single mom entire time... they made it!! But. I can't do this alone. I HAD HAD to hear a real story or 2. God Bless you guys.
Sending you a big virtual hug. I hope you are able to receive the help you need.
I like seeing different types of people on here!! Finally.
Don't let the enemy win! He wants you to trust in the sadness in the hopelessness! But God wants you to trust in Him in the hope He provides! He created you for a purpose & He has plans of hope and a prosperous future Jeremiah 29:11. Giving up on yourself is the same as giving up on God. Its telling God that you don't have faith that He can turn ANY situation around for good. He will keep you .. bring the hurt to Him & leave it there.
Amen♥️
Jay you are beautiful and your husband is the one loosing out. Just wanted to let you know you are Beautiful and I too have depression but watching Joyce Meyers videos helps me ❤❤❤❤
Thanks ladies for the therapeutic chat today, I suffere from childhood Trauma like Joyce, but you keep me inspired. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I would love to have friends like this to hang out with once in awhile true Christian women. When I became a Christian I had to let go of people who I thought they were my friends but they warrant because they were bringing me down and I knew that God didn't want me hanging out with people like that. And I thank God because I am much happier without them but I need good friends in my life will going to lift me up not bring me down 😊🙏
I watch this show in the morning while getting ready to renew my mind
Michelle Williama sang awesomely....
Yes, I have to do my part to heal too, by controlling what I am thinking about, and applying what I have learned. I needed that reminder today. Thank you Lord, for all of these beautiful ladies! ❤

God guided me to this podcast. Thank you. Just simply, thank you. 🙏💗
That's so great to hear! Check out the new episode of Joyce's Talk It Out podcast at joycemeyer.org/TalkItOut. We pray it blesses you! -Team JMM
Michelle is glowing from the inside out! So happy to see.
@vonne, i just said that and I am happy to see her look so light.
I really needed to hear this! The devil tried to get me to turn it off, but I didn't. I have been in a depression pit for some time now. I have book an appointment with a therapist. I was in foster care system. What that means is I had no father or mother or a loving family. I didn't have a home, not just four walls and a roof, but a home where I can feel relaxed, safe, secure, be myself. And now at 35 years old, I have a family, a loving husband and two beautiful daughters, a nice home, but find myself being increasingly restless, unable to relax, and continuously anxious and on edge at home and I know its because of my childhood.
So thank you for this talk ♥️
Yes, I have found when I open my mouth and praise Him, worship Him there is a shift and my day improves.
I also realize God gave us feelings to feel. Feel the betrayal or the rejection and then take it to the Father and give it to him. Ask for help.
Great and such a needed discussion!
I love the Podcasts so refreshing and encouraging!!! Michelle I love your voice. May God continue to use you in mighty ways.. God bless you!!!
I love Gingers spirit, so loving and fun 💕
God bless you all 🙏🏾
Love you Jai, may you continue to heal and be made whole. You are awesome! Love you ladies. Thanks Michelle. 😘
I really needed to hear this morning when i am struggling, and so glad that Kelly shared like all the other ladies shared. How Joyce also spoke on this subject. God bless each of y’all plus I’m going to hang onto this word that was shared this morning. God bless each person who is struggling with depression.
I've been on anti depressants for 12 years and god has changed my thoughts and attitudes so much that i decided to wean off them. I came off them totally on 1st january because i no longer need them. Praise God 💗
One of the best things to do when you are depressed is to help someone in need or volunteer somewhere. It really gives you purpose. I've finally beat it! Not everyday is good obviously i still have bad days but Ghee whizz 💗
Good for you! God is faithful ♥️ Keep pushing through your journey!
You did it by accepting the word?
@@Crownliving no, i was a christian for 4 years before I got diagnosed. I did it by the renewing of my mind and thoughts. God changed my attitude, my outlook and my thoughts 💗 and over time I didnt need the medication anymore.
@@paulaosbourne8747 Oh so you a overcomer. You was able release that divine force that's inside of you. But yea, releasing that is accepting
This discussion is so encorageing and real thank you. To God be the Glory.🙏🏾
We're so glad to hear that this episode blessed you today! ❤️ God bless you! -Team JMM
In my darkest moments, I sometimes could not even utter words, or pray. So I heard in one of Joyce's messages she said, God wants to hear just a few words. Heal me, Love me, protect me. Anything helps get you out of it and connected to him. The enemy wants to silence you and keep you from communicating with your savior. for that message, I am grateful.
Help me Lord have empathy and a listening ear to all my sisters going through depression. Because he lives I can face tomorrow!!!!YES!!What a beautiful way to end this topic! I wish that more scripture will be told with references so we can go to it and claim and pray it too.Thanks.
My dear one, one of the verse I have used shamelessly till now speaks to the thought process and how every imagination that leads to fear, depression, anxiety and any other junk from hell can be defeated with one simple act, casting down all down imaginations and everything( name all those things that make you drift from what God says) that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, then bringing every thought captive to the obedience of the master himself, Jesus Christ.
Read, study, speak it every second you live and watch your whole being shift. 2 Corinthians 10: 3 to verse 5. Amen
I saw the title and I was like I need that right now. Then it says 58min ago it was uploaded. Love it
We love to hear that this blessed you today!! God knows just what we need to hear and when we need to hear it! -Team JMM
I love that her advice was a song. Thank You Lord!
Have the conversation when a person suffering with depression experience friends falling away when someone gets real in what they're dealing with. You guys are lucky/blessed to have people around you to have these conversations.
Thank you for the realness of it, I didn’t realize how much I needed this 💗🙏🏽
We're so glad to hear that this episode blessed you! God wants to fill us with His joy, hope and expectation of good things for our lives. We encourage you to check out bit.ly/2y6f3BI. Blessings! -Team JMM
I've always said you got to get the issues up by the roots, but I like what Ginger said, otherwise it will sprout back up. So true!
I just love these podcasts/videos. Every singe episode I can relate to on a personal level and it it so comforting to know I am not alone in experiencing these feelings. Thank you for this “Talk It Out” series you have set up. 🙏🏾

@@joycemeyer thank you. I will definitely sign up.
I'm thankful ladies for talk it out podcast.I suffered depression for a long time.Until I had gotten a handle of oppression depression.Praise Jesus for the victory.
I love that this is women of different ages, mixing some of Joyce's teachings, Ginger guiding the talk, with all these women together. I love that that wisdom of godly women who are further on in life is there with women in their 30s who love God as well and have been through battles of their own. It's so effective. Really powerful talk, it stirred my heart and filled me with hope, thank you Jesus.
THIS WAS AMAZING!!! ..and the clips from Mama Joyce was icing on the cake!!! Thank you!!!

Thank all of u ladies and wow the fellowship hallelujah im so inspired
I was blessed by this. Such an important topic for the church. I often wonder why the push against medication for depression?
This is my first time to click on talk it out. I love it! The format is amazing, up to date, and definitely relatable. Thank God for the body of Christ and every gift

I put scriptures on and around my bathroom mirror too, because it is a place I frequently go. I can read them while I wash my hands and brush my teeth.
It is easier to believe those negative thoughts cause that's part of the flesh. It constantly wants to return to the dust.
We have to bring our minds up to the word. God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours. We transform by making our minds new through God's word.
This really helped me. Thank you for the honesty. You have no idea how this helps many. God bless.
We're so happy to hear that this episode blessed you! 🤗 God loves you so much! We encourage you to check out this teaching from Joyce at bit.ly/2y6f3BI. We pray it is a blessing to you! -Team JMM

❤🎉
Thank you Joyce and girls!
🤗❤️ -Team JMM
This was so real and so good. I feel so bad for being on meds but it really helps me.
Don’t it help me too
I'm on meds and I don't feel the need to explain or feel guilty about it. Initially, I tried to rely on my faith & exercising but it wasn't enough.
Don't feel bad for being on meds. Nobody's bizness but yours. And don't let anyone try & make you feel bad either! Just keep walking with Jesus.
Thank you so much. I learned a lot. I love how Jen is so concerned for the audience. God bless you all!
Ladies this is so good thank you. Jay I understand and that is were I am sometimes I just don’t want to hear the word or anything but then I realize that the word and my worship is what will bring my healing.
This so true God bless these women thinking the best about ourselves
Thank you so much for this video. Made me cry and gave me encouragement. ❤️
We are so glad to hear that this episode encouraged you! 🤗 God bless you! -Team JMM
Joyce is real, these gals are not discussing details, only superficial stuff that I already know. There is a lot of "beating around the bush" which I do not have patients for, it is time for some deep revelations!
It sounds work-based and like God doesn't heal instantly, he does
Such a timely message and Mitchell's testimony felt very personal. Yes praise and mouthing the words yourself makes the difference.
As Joyce shared that God will not do everything for us but we can chose to stay in that pit or get out.
For me talking to someone professional after 36 years struggling with the junk, was the one I needed and fellow readers, I am DONE AND ARE FREE,praise Jesus. Because Jesus lives i can face tomorrow and anything. I decided enough with fear and depression. Praise prayer and therapy helps and I live because of Jesus work on the cross. Thank you all
Am glad I hear this. I need it.
Awesome,Honest talk Bless You gals For Sharing! You Have No Idea How Many people you Touched I am one God Bless You All**
I was no way to watch any girls talk tv program because I was so serious person, don't like being arround people and hard to get along with.
.
But suddenly, I started to enjoy watch talk it out, I feel like I'm there, and I feel I have my own bloodly sisters.
.
I wasn't laugh no matter how hard you guys laugh, but now, I even laugh alone here while I watch you guys. I enjoy to watch your laugh and even say "ya, ya, or hmm" in my bed room.
.
Even this morning before I done watch this show, my neighbor come and I ask to my self why I can't find disturbed feeling in my heart, because usually I really really feel disturbed and often not answer them act like nobody home.
.
After she done talk to me, she goes back to her home and I saw another neighbor, suddenly I say hi to her, have a little talk and laugh together, usually if I saw neighbor I even never say hi and pretend not seeing them.
.
I don't think saying thank you to Joyce and all of you is enough, because the changes I started to feel and see is something I never though that I could change, it's impossible, but yet it happen now.
.
May God bless all of you, abundantly, forever and ever.
.
Thank you so much!!

This is soo good🙌 Thank you for this beautiful episode filled with wisdom!
Hi beautiful ladies.thank for creating this platform.
Accepted promotion believing that it is God but now lately I feel overwhelmed. Travel 1 and half hours to work and another back home though this does not tire me physical but your the mind crying out for comfort kills me and causes me to regret. Did not calculate the cost as I believed that it was God.
