Good morning, good afternoon and good evening everybody. It's your girl Sonya McQueen with it's your life. What are you doing with it?
This quick podcast is for my praying brothers and sisters. Do you believe
that your prayers
Will or are being answered?
So many people pray and worry, you know
You can't pray and then worry or pray and then try to make
Moves on your own you got to pray and leave it there and then you got to thank the Lord
For answering your prayers, even if they haven't come to fruition yet. You still have to thank them
So I'm gonna tell you guys a couple of things that have happened that
Just make me think
God is so amazing. The first thing I'm gonna talk about is
I've said this before but I just want to really dwell into
how
crazy this is but I
Told you I was working for this company
making really good money and I was the chief compliance officer and I was so much more than that
I was also like the director. I trained the chief operating officer
I was in charge of all the
COVID test sites. I was in charge of the doctor. I just was everything to my boss and
The company went under he had so much money
But he kept blowing it and blowing it and then God gave him a second opportunity
And he listened to me not and blew that money until eventually I gave my notice in December
Last check I have was in September, but I was looking really hard for a job
And I got a lot of offers and I took the worst offer I could have
The absolute worst offer I could have you some of y'all know this story, but I lasted two days
Left there
Contacted some of the places I turned down one of them was like yes, please come here
Please please please and it was the worst place I could have picked again out of all my options
And I lasted three weeks there and I said you know what lord?
I don't know what's up with me why I'm making such crazy decisions
It is not like me
To not take a job and decide that's where I'm going to be for the for the rest of my life
So if it's not meant for me to work outside of your purpose for me
You will block
Any job
That comes my way that I'm about to take those are my exact words you will block it lord
Your will be done in my life if it is meant for me to put all of my efforts into led by motivation
And led by motivation organization lord
You show me by blocking everything else and I promise you guys
when I say
The craziest things have been happening to me first off nobody was replying to my
Resume or my my job injuries nobody
But then when I would get an interview they would love me and I get a second interview and a lot of these companies
They have three interviews three or four
I'd make it to the third interview and nobody would show up
You know, I would always hear I don't know what happened. I don't know where where he is. This isn't like him
I apologize. Let me call you back a lot of them are zoom meetings, you know
I'll reach out and say hey nobody showed up. I even got a job offer. We like you so much miss McQueen
We want to offer you this job. This is your starting pay. This is your position
this is where you will come and we will let you know your start date and
Never hear from them again ever. It's like God made them delete my
Contact information, you know, I'm reaching out and no reply. It's the craziest thing. So that happened to me five times
No exaggeration five times. I made it either a to the final
Interview and one time a CEO didn't show up another time the C. Oh, oh didn't show up. Okay. I got a job offer
Never heard from them again went to a job interview
The lady was like I really want to give you this job
But I don't think you'll stay because the pay's so low and I told her I honestly don't care about the pay
That's absolutely not why I'm here about pay. We do okay
Blah blah blah. She was like, okay. I really want you then
I'm going to
Call the regional and no matter which way it goes because I want you here
And if she agrees because our biggest concern is that you'll leave
But if she agrees the job is yours never heard from her again
And the fifth the fifth and final from a month ago
The fifth and final time I went to a job interview I drive all the way to
A place called Bokeh Rattan. It's about a 45 minute drive from my house
And the guy says well the lady says you are my choice
But it's up to my manager the manager calls me and he's like I really like you a lot
I can understand why she wants you however
I'm worried about the fact you
Were in these roles before and this is this I told him that's not a problem at all
This this this this he was like, you know what I really like you. I'm going to take a chance
I'm going to call you back and give you all the details never called me back
Five in a row. All right, so what I did was sat down with my husband and I said listen
I prayed to God and I really got to believe this is him blocking this because this is absolutely crazy
I want to put all my concentration into this
501c3 and
How I'm going to raise funds for it and how I'm going to get this going and get my board together
The moment I said that to him he said absolutely go ahead and do your thing
Everything started falling in place for me board members. I got me a doctor. I have a PhD. I have a
a
treasurer I have
It's crazy the people a politician the people that are falling into my lap that want to be a part of this. Okay, awesome
Then I find out it takes four to six months to get my 501 3c3
Which blew my mind because it's going to be hard for me to get grants and funding without that
So I decided well, let me find
a part-time job, right?
so I
Reach out all of a sudden
Places I didn't reach out to started reach out out to me and I told my husband this has to be from interviews or
From me putting my resume out well over a month ago, and they're just contacting me
And it was the same thing y'all I had an interview set up for Tuesday
I get half dressed because this is zoom. I'm sitting in front of the computer. They never came on I
Send a message. Hey, I'm on the zoom. Did something change? No reply I
Google just to make sure this is a legitimate company it is
Okay, I stay on the zoom 30 minutes. Nobody comes nobody replies. I get off. I have another interview Wednesday
All right, this one is on
Teams so once again, I comb my hair. I put on some lip gloss. I put on a shirt sitting in front of the computer
No
Body shows up y'all my whole point and this eight-minute story is
I
Prayed and asked God to show me something and he's showing me loudly and clearly
That nothing is gonna come through because that's what you asked for now
take your button there and do what you're supposed to be doing and
Work on this 501 C3 so you can help other people
That is my dream to help other people
If you know me at all, you know my heart is in it to win it
It's not in it to be rich. I sent this young lady a message on messenger. I
Don't know why but I had a dream about her and she was famous
She was a star and she was my friend and in my dream
She invited me to her mansion. I'm in her mansion and she's gonna get my hair done
And she's just so happy and smiling and sweet and sincere and good
Carious and so I'm walking around and she's looking for the perfect hairdresser to do my hair
So I sent her this dream, you know, I'm like hey, I had a dream about you was really weird
But I tell her about the dream and two things she said I would never want to mansion
And I would never want to be an actress
Lol, you know, it wasn't rude or anything. She was just letting me know that's a crazy dream
I wonder what it means. So I looked up what it meant and it fit where I am perfectly
But the whole point of that is
Those aren't my dreams either. I don't dream of a mansion and I don't dream of riches. I
Dream to see a better tomorrow for so many people
I want to see the homeless off the street the ones with mental health issues getting help in a facility
the ones with alcohol and drug addiction and
drug treatment facilities that aren't
There to make a penny off of the person but to help people genuinely there's enough money
There's enough money to go around for the right thing if we can have these thing on
Game shows giving away hundreds of thousands of dollars the people just for answering a question correctly hitting a buzzer quickly
Spinning a wheel faster
We can pull people off the street and do the right thing for
We can take our elderly and send people to them to take care of them
and
a place of comfort for them
Send people to read with them sit with them spend time with them the for the lonely able-minded
elderly people
We could take these kids that are being abused and give them a safe haven while we
re-trained their parents and
Break generational curses. I'm not trying to do all that
But there should be somebody trying to do it
And I want to support that
Right now my focus is on the hurting the needy
the
As my church used to say disenfranchised the homeless the the parents who are on the verge of losing everything because they're making minimum wage
the homeless
able-minded people who we can take off the streets and educate them and help them get a job and take them from
homeless to
hopeful
And their own homes
Take those people who did their time in prison
Nobody wants to give a second chance to and they feel like they have to go back to the ways they used to be and show them
You don't have to go back to that way. We're gonna help you
We're gonna help you get a job and we're gonna help you get on your feet. That's the route
I want to take right now take our indigeness
Our Indians and people who are being treated less than just because of their race their nationality
Show them everybody's not like that. This is a place of love I
Want a place of love and healing and help for the masses and that's my dream
My dream isn't to be on a stage and live in a mansion and have 17 cars and doing nothing for
Society
People have different dreams. That's probably why I don't watch videos
That's probably why I don't watch reality TV
Put me on some reality TV, you know, I know that Lizzo is going through something
I don't you know, I think I own one or two little songs
But I just so happen to watch watch out for the big girls and
I
fell in love with Lizzo
What she was doing was so positive
What she was doing
Was so different than I've always pictured reality TV being and I watched each and every episode
And if you have never watched watch out for the big girls you watch it because she was breathing
Love and positivity and people that other people weren't
Now she's got money
So she also was you know about that money and life and all that
I just love the breathing the positivity and help and hope for a better tomorrow for people
That's what I'm on
That's what I'm on and I pray to God
to guide me
And y'all he's doing it
So needless to say I won't be looking for another job
But I will say this if you know somebody who's hiring part-time
in
a
field or I can volunteer I don't mind volunteering
I'm your girl because for the next four to six months. I'm just going to be building resources
Meeting with my board seeing what next steps I need to do while I I create my
policies and procedures and protocols and guidelines and I look for an office space and
I look for vehicles and I have a feeling God's gonna bless me with all that an office space
vehicles to transport these people
Our clients our family
future family
He's gonna bless us with all this because I prayed for it and everything I've prayed for so far is
been sensible and
So he's given it to me
I've yet to pay pray for a solid go chain a
Lamborghini a
mansion
Maids
Money I can go to strip club and toss up in the air. I don't pray for any of that I
Pray to be a help to the masses and I pray that when I leave this earth
That that legacy lives on here
y'all if
You don't believe in prayer. I promise you
It's real
Even me being in Florida one day. I'll tell you that story
Me being in Florida was nothing but God talking to somebody else getting me here and everything
That that person told me that's how I got a poly in my life by the way
Has come to fruition all of it everything
everything I
Have seen people healed
From our prayer
Stage four cancer go in
For it for chemo and the doctors like what cancer?
Kidney failure and they go in and the doctors like what kidney failure?
Skin disease and we pray and then they go back and the doctors like what skin disease?
Even if you're not a believer, what do you have to lose from trying?
What do you have to lose?
At the very least you could say well didn't work for me
And I urge you to be patient when you pray just believe and wait
Wait on it
believe in it and
Wait on it and thank the Lord for it while you wait and go on about your merry life
Don't have bubblegum fingers. Don't pray for something and
Then pretend to throw it out to God, but it's still stuck on your fingers
You're still chewing on it
You're still carrying it
You're still trying to work it out
What was the purpose of praying for it or praying it through if you're still gonna try to work it out for yourself
Don't pray about it. If you're not gonna believe in it
If you're not gonna release it if you're not gonna let God do his thing
Why pray?
Gotta believe
Or why do it?
You know, we've all been there
We've all been there
We've prayed for something and then just didn't let it go and we kept trying to work it out
But still asking God why it hasn't
Why he hasn't showed us favor
In this situation because you won't get out of the way so he can show you that favor get out of your way
Let him do his thing
Just go
Whatever that situation is you in a valley pray, you know valleys come and go
That's called life
Just know that you've been in one before and you came out of it and barely remember it
So you know you're gonna come out of this one too. So keep it moving keep it pimping
Keep stepping
Don't get lost in it
Don't pray and keep wallowing in self pity
You looking for that perfect mate?
Don't pray for it and then keep complaining about how you'll never get it
That don't work
Have a friend who does that now?
You know, I just prayed and put it in the Lord's hand and then the next message was I know I'll never get it because
This that this and that and I know this and I know
Okay, you prayed for something but now you're doubting you're gonna get it. So why'd you pray for it cuz you're doubting it?
That's not how God works
You pray for it and you say thank you for answering my prayer whenever it comes
You want that perfect job
Maybe you're already in it and you got to change your attitude. He might show you that
Or maybe you need to do what I'm doing and do your own thing and and get out of get out of that nine to five
Everybody doesn't need to be doing their own thing out of a nine to five God will show you
This is just about prayer y'all just believe
If you're gonna ask for it believe in it or don't ask
Don't tell people you're gonna pray for me and you're not going to or you don't
Don't do that people believe and
They request your prayers and they believe that you're gonna have their back
Don't say I have it if you don't don't say I'm gonna pray if you're not
Go ahead and pray first and then say done that way you won't lie
Cuz sometimes you have the best intentions
Somebody says I need prayer and you say
I've got you and then you forget and you don't have them
So go ahead and pray stop right there and all it takes is a second
Lord you see my friends message Father God I pray
That you answer their their prayer in the name of Jesus. Amen
All of eight seconds and you're done and then type done or you don't even have to tell them you're done. Just do it
Everything doesn't need a response
As I said this is for my praying people for my believers or for people going through something but they believe in something higher
And if you don't believe and you listen to this podcast once again with me
Don't believe and you listen to this podcast once again. What do you have to lose?
You might just see a miracle
When you give prayer chance
