10 Elevate Your Life - Part Two
===
Jamesia: [00:00:00] Y'all ain't doing this to me today.
Jamesia: all right, y'all. Welcome back to the Elevate Your Life podcast. I know that this conversation has been, um, ministering to you all, [00:01:00] therapeutic to you all, um, because it certainly has been to me. Um, we are having, uh, a robust real conversation. And so I pray that it is, um, really impacting your life in a positive way. So both of you ladies are ordained elders. You are wearing multiple hats. How do you balance faith, calling and identity when they overlap in unexpected ways?
Brittany Smith: Hmm. Uh, they always overlap.
Jamesia: Mm-hmm.
Brittany Smith: It's always gonna overlap, and I think it's always unexpected. Um, um, um, I think the scripture that comes to my mind is that in him, we live, move and have our being. So that's everything. So it's, so, it's God. God is over everything. God is in everything. Um, I think, um, probably the, the biggest, um, where there were unexpected way to overlap for me, um, was when I suddenly became a single parent.
So I'm a mom [00:02:00] of two. And, um, for me, um, I felt, you know, you know, I didn't do everything God's way, but I got married and had children and, you know, for me, I was, I was doing something, um. Um, better than what I had seen. And, um, and so it was a devastating and a very much caught me off guard to then, um, lose my spouse suddenly and have to raise my children.
And they were five and six at that time. So, um, and then five and six at that time. And then, um, literally the next month I was taking my, my elders exam to become an elder. So, to be honest,
Jamesia: that. Wow.
Brittany Smith: yes, the very next month, um, and I had to make a decision, is this what I wanna do? And because, you know, now I felt I was, I felt uncovered.
And so for me, life was, had completely altered. [00:03:00] So, first of all, do I wanna do this? Number one, can I do this? And, um, and there's so much, you know, I don't have help now. So, um. You know, I, I remember, remember reading a long, long time ago when I was in college, uh, Bishop Tating Jake's book, God's Leading Lady, and one of the lessons that I, that still sticks with me now is that when our cup overflows, that pray a prayer that he, that he asked, told us, prays that pray that God is our saucer, and that when we get overwhelmed and when it spills over that he will catch it.
And so, um, being overwhelmed, having the multiple responsibilities of being mom, pa mom, and then mom is enough, we can stop there. Mom is a whole lot. And then being a business, a business owner, uh, two, two businesses, um, uh, being a full, full-time student and then having requirements at church and that you better be there and better be on time.
Jamesia: [00:04:00] Listen, those who cry, miss at church.
Brittany Smith: Right, right, right. So, so, um, I, I, you know, I just, there's a long story behind that too, but I just said, God, you just be my saucer.
Jamesia: Yeah.
Brittany Smith: Be my saucer.
Jamesia: What about you with Elder Kelly?
Kelly Diane Galloway: Um, I'm not good at that. So, uh, what I do, I, I, so I'm adult diagnosed A DHD,
Jamesia: Okay.
Kelly Diane Galloway: I don't think anything's wrong with me. I think that it is why I'm a genius. Like I know I'm a genius. I am so smart. So,
Brittany Smith: Yes, you are. Period.
Kelly Diane Galloway: I'm a genius. I'm a creative, I'm a visionary. And so for me, I just, if it, um, when we, when we were talking about even this podcast earlier, even just you like, Hey Kelly, we ain't heard from you all week.
And I was just like, what did I say? It was on my calendar, so I'm gonna be there. And so for me, it's like those, those things help me stay structured,
Jamesia: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: So
Brittany Smith: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: know that I, I know that I learned differently. [00:05:00] I know that I wear a lot of different hats, and so I put a lot of time into preparation, um, as I had forgotten older. I will cancel an event in, in a heartbeat. Remember back in the day, I was famous for saying, all we gotta do is. All we gotta do is
Jamesia: That was your
Kelly Diane Galloway: no
Jamesia: slide.
Kelly Diane Galloway: we
Jamesia: All we got. Do
Brittany Smith: Woo.
Jamesia: all.
Kelly Diane Galloway: don't have
Brittany Smith: Wooey.
Kelly Diane Galloway: All we have to do, I run things on, on
Brittany Smith: She right.
Kelly Diane Galloway: continents. Um, we are building leaders, we are building churches, we are building missionaries.
We are
Brittany Smith: Yes.
Kelly Diane Galloway: in and out of trauma. Unfortunately, even in this time where it we're, we're discipling people out of, out of racism and bigotry. And so, um, this life can be exhausting. And so for me, if it's not on my schedule, it probably is not going to happen. And so how do I balance being all of these different things? Um, I have to put systems in place to protect myself.
Brittany Smith: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: And, um, if those [00:06:00] systems are not in place, then it doesn't matter. I'm also not one of those people. I used to say this a lot and I don't say it anymore, and I, I, we can open the floor for dialogue where you're just like. Um, a lot of people don't know.
So I have, I have two daughters. They were in my program at first and they moved in with me. I'm now a grandmother. My, he is four months old. His name is Rain. um, I love him. He's just the most beautiful little boy. And, um, one thing that I've noticed is that even I'm at work right now and I'm, I'm a director. I'm never not mom.
Jamesia: Hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: never not, never not Auntie Kelly. I'm never not the preacher.
Jamesia: Yeah.
Kelly Diane Galloway: that, you know, I just wanna be Kelly over here, but then I can go to this beach in Brazil. And I'm just like, you know, I'm just being Kelly. And then I see somebody walking, selling [00:07:00] stuff. I'm like, oh my God.
This is a labor trafficking victim. And oh my goodness, like this is somebody baby. And then my heart goes out because you only 17. And so
Jamesia: Yeah.
Brittany Smith: Um,
Kelly Diane Galloway: Kelly and Mama Kelly wants to nurture this person. I don't think, I don't, at least for me, don't have those moments where different people. It's all me. And the, the, the, the part of Kelly that shows up meets the occasion.
Brittany Smith: mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: I just, you know, some people are like, I just want me time. I'm just a mom. I'm not a mom right now. I'm not. But for me, I just, my personal experience, I'm all of it at all the times. Like,
Brittany Smith: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: how I show up in that moment, you know?
So don't know if y'all feel the same way, like you,
Jamesia: No, I,
Brittany Smith: I, I,
Kelly Diane Galloway: and then not
Brittany Smith: yeah. I actually, actually maybe think of something about that too, Kelly. Like for, um, I think in us being saved young and really, really being in an apostolic [00:08:00] very, I would say strict kind of type of church style. I think I tried to find Brittany. Outside of search, outside of being saved, like I wanted to have a life.
And so in me trying to separate that, that the call of God from myself, I got myself into some trouble,
Jamesia: Listen.
Brittany Smith: And, but somehow or another I would meet God, he, God would meet me there. And there's some funny stories. He would take those off camera, but some funny stories where I would meet God there and he would remind me, like Kelly said, that there's no separation.
That I think we, we, we are, we are that person or God is involved, it is in him. We live, move and have our being just period.
Jamesia: Absolutely. No, I,
Kelly Diane Galloway: wanna share off camera too. 'cause I'm just like, should I share this story? And I'm
Brittany Smith: I almost did Kelly, you, but you know, I try to do better now in my [00:09:00] life.
Jamesia: to whatever extent y'all are comfortable, but you know,
Brittany Smith: Uh, no, it's a testimony, but go ahead.
Jamesia: Well, no, I would say to, to Kelly's point, I agree with you. I think there was a phase for me as well, where I was like, okay, I'm, you know, I'm, I'm gonna be jamia over, I'm evangelist over here, but I'm gonna be Jamia over here. So when you
Brittany Smith: Yes.
Jamesia: to think about, it's like, what? Aren't they both saved?
You know what I'm saying? Oh, they both serve God. Like what do
Brittany Smith: Rock jamian in three persons.
Jamesia: Right, right, right. What's the real difference? And so I've kind of started to look at it almost like a tool belt, if you will. Like, I'm, I'm okay, I'm, you know, a communicator. I'm a senior director, I'm a minister, I'm a daughter, I'm a sister, I'm a friend, I'm all of those things.
But to Kelly's point, when they're needed, they're always with me. I just have to pull out the portion of me, the more portion of me that's needed
Brittany Smith: Mm-hmm.
Jamesia: Right. So I, that's been something I've had to grow into and realize, like, no
Brittany Smith: Mm-hmm.
Jamesia: je evangelist. Missy, [00:10:00] what my family calls me, they're, they're all the same.
They all
Brittany Smith: Mm-hmm.
Jamesia: love God. You know, Missy might pop off a little quicker than evangelist, but you know, you push her too far, she will too, you know, so it's like, damn,
Brittany Smith: I am every woman. Yes.
Jamesia: listen, it's all in me. But no, Brittany, you mentioned something and it brought up something. So in these last 20 years, when you think about our experiences via, rather the church, the organization, the campus ministry, what is one of those memories that pop out to you the most?
Like one of the funny memories that just kind of always makes you laugh.
Brittany Smith: Hmm.
Jamesia: And Kelly, I'm gonna ask you the same question so
Brittany Smith: Okay. You know what I, I kind of giggled when I, um, when you were doing our introductions, and I giggled because I thought about the video when we were at, um, web hall and we did a Chicana service and Liberty came to, to Greensboro, [00:11:00] Kelly, you know what I'm talking about? And you, and you shouting.
Honey when I, and so all of us, three of us are in the video, right? And I go back and I look,
Kelly Diane Galloway: I am about to get off. I don't wanna be in a podcast no more. I'm done. I'm done with. I'm done with both of y'all.
Brittany Smith: we're not laughing you. We're not laughing at you.
Kelly Diane Galloway: in. I am bowing out
Brittany Smith: It is not, it's not that.
Kelly Diane Galloway: space for me.
Brittany Smith: No, no, no, no, no. All of us, I think about all of us, Bishop Young, included, Bishop Young included how we were so young and so zealous and literally we were like the A DHD church, like we was running on 10,000. The music sounded like it was going a hundred and I don't know what's fast beat some per minute.
We were high on God and we loved it. And I just think about those like how we're still on fire for God, but you know, physically we just might be a little bit different and a little bit less energy than we used to. But we still love God. But we learn how to pace [00:12:00] ourselves. We learn how to, how to, how to spread it out.
And not saying like, we don't get charged up, but we learn how to spread it out and minister throughout our entire life, our life. And so I, I think about those memories and, uh, and I see our growth now and, um, you know, beautiful women, talented, and as Kelly said, genius, very, uh, intellectual, spiritual women that we are.
And I, I smile and I laugh too, but I definitely smile.
Jamesia: All right. Kelly, what about you?
Kelly Diane Galloway: forgot the question now. What's the question? you wanna know?
Brittany Smith: You got, you got offended.
Kelly Diane Galloway: I got
Jamesia: that's
Kelly Diane Galloway: in Frank. Got the question.
Jamesia: okay. No. So the question was, thinking back over, you know, the years, whether it be the campus ministry, the church, what is one of those memories that just always makes you laugh, that makes you smile?
Kelly Diane Galloway: I would have to say, um, [00:13:00] I th there is, there's nothing that's gonna make y'all smile or laugh,
Jamesia: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: I remember it was during one holy convocation, holy consecration, where we, it was a late night service, and for some reason we thought that a couple of his sisters, we thought, and a couple people, they thought that it was gonna be a good idea just to praise God on our knees. Um, and so we did this knee praise from the back of 37 60, all the way to the front. And yeah, it appears that there was carpet on the floor, but that was it. We, we didn't have no money, so this, this carpet was microscopically thin
Brittany Smith: On cement
Kelly Diane Galloway: carpet was semen. so I'm
Jamesia: stupid.
Brittany Smith: or concrete?
Kelly Diane Galloway: it's probably, it is probably because of moments like that, but I understand. understand and I digress. I think that that speaks to, I didn't, I just love God so much. I didn't know, I just wanted to give him something new. I didn't know what
Brittany Smith: Yes,
Kelly Diane Galloway: I, I'm just like,
Brittany Smith: I.
Kelly Diane Galloway: gotta be a fire burning on Antar.
I don't wanna give him what I gave him yesterday. God, like, give you something [00:14:00] new. And he gave me arthritis. So I'm just, I'm just,
Brittany Smith: Weak and knee praise.
Kelly Diane Galloway: in exchange for arthritis. But,
Brittany Smith: Ah, yes, Lord. Do it. Please, please Jesus.
Kelly Diane Galloway: and so it was, I think that that speaks just to our mentality. It is just like, God, like I, I, I don't wanna withhold nothing. I
Brittany Smith: Mm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: withhold nothing. I know for some people they like, this is the best years of my life. And I'm just like, I had done so much life before I had met y'all.
Jamesia: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: I had already done stuff that most adults never even done or experienced before I even stepped on the campus of Liberty University. so
Brittany Smith: Hey man.
Kelly Diane Galloway: I, I was just. I just, I will never forget that knee brace. And when my knee, I, I just, it just, it.
Brittany Smith: Jam. What's yours? I, I'll be you. See what you, what yours is.
Jamesia: No, you know, I have a few. When I think
Brittany Smith: Oh yeah, I got it. Yeah.
Jamesia: some of the things I think about is being on [00:15:00] Candles Mountain, and I don't know what it was about. Those little white chairs we used to put out when we had overflow and the way people was collapsing in them white chairs. It was just like one Sunday.
It was like every white chair went down. And when I tell you that sticks out in my head so much. Like I will find myself randomly laughing at stuff like that. One of the
Brittany Smith: woo.
Jamesia: makes me laugh is when I think about like Elder Kelly, I think you'll probably remember. More like when, you know, we had to sit on the side of the wall at 37 60 and like sometimes Bishop would come out the office and he'd be like, you get a scripture, you get a scripture, you get a scripture, y'all preaching for 10 minutes. And the way we would start scattering, trying to find something, like we would be Okay.
Brittany Smith: Mm-hmm.
Jamesia: my God. So like, those are some of the things that like stick out to me, um, when it's just like, wow, like look at what the Lord has done. Look at where we are [00:16:00] now. And so it's, it's just so many things.
But those are a couple things
Brittany Smith: Oh yeah,
Jamesia: to me. And so
Kelly Diane Galloway: We
Jamesia: I wanna,
Kelly Diane Galloway: chairs. Now
Jamesia: I wanna shift what you say
Kelly Diane Galloway: got metal chairs now.
Jamesia: we do. Listen, ain't nobody falling. Okay.
Brittany Smith: 1, 1 broke last year though.
Jamesia: Oh Lord, Brittany, I listen if it's only one, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's a win. That's a
Brittany Smith: That's, that is still a win. A win is a win.
Jamesia: All right, so [00:17:00] my last question is has walking alongside each other in ministry sharpened and shaped who you are as leaders and women of faith?
Kelly Diane Galloway: Walking alongside each other. I,
Jamesia: Yeah. Walking alongside each other.
Kelly Diane Galloway: I feel, I, I honestly, I feel bad for people who don't have what I have. And what I mean by that is I, I, I know people don't want, nobody wants my pity. And I, and I know that,
Jamesia: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: when I think of the RAMP church. Or when I see people post online they feel so alone. I don't feel like that I, I, I feel moments of loneliness just because
Brittany Smith: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: a part of the human experience.
Brittany Smith: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: if the rubber ever meets the road, I got a squad that will show up for me in more than one [00:18:00] way.
Brittany Smith: That's right.
Kelly Diane Galloway: Um, I know that I have a people I can confide in. I know who will, who I know. I have community of individuals who will pray the devil off my back.
Brittany Smith: Come on.
Kelly Diane Galloway: I know people who, you know, poor Crystal Vine, she's still what she, she, she a therapist and, and, and is, and is doing ministry and all these great things and owning her own business and making bank.
But I believe she, she might still do a little bid for me, you know? I think, I think just being together and holding each other accountable. I had the opportunity to text, um, a group of sisters from the ramp the other week. It was, uh, maybe two weeks ago. And, you know, I'm gonna, I'm, I'm abstinent. I ain't like the girl on that Koic video a long time ago.
I ain't having no sex.
Brittany Smith: Hallelujah. Me neither.
Kelly Diane Galloway: I don't even put myself in a situation to be able to fall. So that's what, that what is what protects me.
Jamesia: Mm-hmm.
Brittany Smith: Amen.
Kelly Diane Galloway: I texted the, the sisters the other day and I was like, y'all, I'm about to go in a three day [00:19:00] fast because me and Brittany's cold word for this is hungry. I'd be like, I'm hungry.
And Brittany like, eat that. I'm like, no, Brittany, I'm hungry.
Brittany Smith: Girl. Fast girl. Fast. Stalled. Stalled at flushed.
Kelly Diane Galloway: you know, I'm in a situation where I don't even have options. So that's, that's another good thing for me. But, but I'm just like, it's, I was like, it's consuming my thoughts to want to be held by a man
Brittany Smith: Oh, amen.
Jamesia: real.
Brittany Smith: It's real.
Kelly Diane Galloway: to
Jamesia: that's real.
Kelly Diane Galloway: and, and, and to desire some form of companionship,
Brittany Smith: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: wanna ruin my testimony.
Brittany Smith: Mm. Yes, Lord.
Kelly Diane Galloway: I am so busy. I do not have time in my prayer time to repent for that. I got so many other things to talk to God about. I got, I don't have the time to be sitting in condemnation and getting all of those feelings that happen when like, I feel like I've done something to, to, to that
Brittany Smith: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: God.
I
Jamesia: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: [00:20:00] time for that. And so I was able to like, say exactly how I feel, what I'm feeling and what I'm doing, and everybody, it was like text, boom. Bing, bing, bing, the whole group
Jamesia: Yeah.
Kelly Diane Galloway: Kelly, we praying for you. Kelly. I'll fast with you, Kelly, you got this, da da da da. And like, you know, and, and, and accountability. And so I feel like, um, having this community of women in ministry, um, are, they're not my competition. They're my sisters.
Jamesia: Yeah.
Kelly Diane Galloway: And so
Brittany Smith: Yes, that's it.
Kelly Diane Galloway: And I would also like to say that to women in. You do not need minions. I don't, and I don't know who this is for,
Jamesia: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: women in ministry, you get minions and you don't have co-laborers, and so you're off kilter because, and, and I, and I, and maybe I may, I shouldn't have said minions, maybe I might get canceled for that.
I, I don't care. But, um, when I, but
Brittany Smith: What do you mean by minions?
Kelly Diane Galloway: people to, to lift you up and make you feel better about yourself, sometimes you need people that's on your level [00:21:00] or above that's gonna be like, Uhuh, what you said was wrong, how you felt was wrong. Your feelings. Yeah, your feelings might be real, but feelings are not facts.
And so
Jamesia: Right?
Kelly Diane Galloway: are, are dressed in offense.
Brittany Smith: Mm I.
Kelly Diane Galloway: God to, to help you with that. So I think that for me, making sure I have women that I can look up to and women that's on the same playing field with me, with me, that I can be vulnerable and just tell the truth to.
Brittany Smith: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: festers when it's hidden.
Jamesia: Yeah.
Brittany Smith: Absolutely.
Kelly Diane Galloway: you, you don't got nobody to confess that to.
Jamesia: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: that can help you hold that.
Brittany Smith: Confess up. Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: want to, I just, I'm just trying to make it in
Jamesia: Listen,
Kelly Diane Galloway: so
Brittany Smith: Amen.
Kelly Diane Galloway: friends.
Brittany Smith: Yes. How many of us have them?
Jamesia: did I
Brittany Smith: Jamia? We always do it. No matter where we gonna have, we gonna have a song, we gonna pick the song up. I love it. I love it.
Jamesia: All right. Elder Brittany, what about you? Have
Brittany Smith: Um, I, I, I, I, um, [00:22:00] I concur with Kelly a hundred percent. I, I am so thankful. Um, my wealth is not in houses and land. I got a little bit of it. And, um, it's not in, um, the car I drive. It's not in the clothes wear on my back, but it's in the, the people. That God has allowed me to walk alongside. And so Bishop says a friend, the, the family that I inherited at the alt, at the altar.
And so I am grateful for sisterhood. Um, I, I now realize how much I needed. I don't think I always realized how much I needed. I think when I was younger, I cleave to like having guy friends. 'cause I thought that it was simpler, uh, you know, and less cattiness and competition. But I said, man, I, I need my sisters.
And so in this season, I have really leaned in to being vulnerable with my sisters and, um, and being, um, receptive to, to being called out when I was, when I'm wrong. And, um, sometimes, you know, you know, me and Kelly, we have had [00:23:00] over the years, we have, um, we've corrected each other and sometimes our correction,
Kelly Diane Galloway: me on my job.
Brittany Smith: why we, why, why I knew you were gonna do that.
Why?
Kelly Diane Galloway: Jamica, and she smacked me in my face. Did you, you smack me in my face? Other, Brittany?
Jamesia: I feel
Kelly Diane Galloway: Did
Jamesia: I,
Kelly Diane Galloway: Brittany you come to my job and come to my desk and sit next to me and smack me in my face? Other Brittany, did you do it? Did you do it?
Brittany Smith: I, I plead the fifth at this present time because
Jamesia: I knew she was
Brittany Smith: I, I did, I did it. I did it. I did do it. But ask her, did she smack me back?
Jamesia: Kelly, did you smack
Brittany Smith: Yes.
Jamesia: Oh, Lord, am I not surprised? Like for some reason I am not surprised at all. Um, but no, I, I will say definitely, um, it is absolutely a pleasure and an honor to get to do life, um, with you ladies. And of course, [00:24:00] we are not the only, uh, female, uh, ministers of the RAMP Church International.
We have such a great community
Brittany Smith: Amen.
Jamesia: female leaders, and so we honor them as well. But, you
Brittany Smith: We honor you.
Jamesia: a people that weren't a people and made them a people. And I can honestly say
Brittany Smith: Hmm,
Jamesia: is so much richer because I know you guys, um, because I've had the opportunity to serve alongside of you, and there is so much that I have gleaned and learned from each of you.
I think, you know, just Kelly, your, your. Go get it. Like, like Kelly, don't waste no time. Oh, this one needs to be done. Bet. You know what I'm saying? It's just like,
Brittany Smith: Mm-hmm.
Jamesia: admire that about you. Um, I admire your persistence to get things done. I admit, I admire your, your directness. Like Kelly, don't
Brittany Smith: Amen.
Jamesia: the bush.
You gonna say what she got to say and ask that.
Brittany Smith: We love you for that.
Jamesia: with you as well, just how you're always willing to pick up anything and learn how to do [00:25:00] it. You know, just having that creative mindset and that creative spirit. And I've seen you endure and go through so much and I've seen you come out on the other side. And so that is a testament as well. And so want you ladies to know that I love you with all my heart. There's absolutely
Brittany Smith: you too.
Jamesia: that you can do about it. And I'm so glad that you took time out of your busy schedules with everything that you're doing, how you're impacting the world to sit down with me on my podcast.
So, no, I love y'all for real.
Kelly Diane Galloway: And we
Jamesia: And.
Kelly Diane Galloway: We proud of
Jamesia: Thank you.
Brittany Smith: yes, we are.
Kelly Diane Galloway: of all, you went to school, got several degrees, and you you've been speaking up for women in ministry for a very, very long time, and behind your back, me
Brittany Smith: Thank you.
Kelly Diane Galloway: about you. And we just like, you know what, like, like Jamia saw
Brittany Smith: And do I.
Kelly Diane Galloway: time ago. and, and we really love the fact that, um, um, you are doing this podcast. Me and Jalisa, we listen to your podcast and watch it. And, [00:26:00] uh, I just wanna also say like, I mean, you go down in history. Um, at the RAMP Church for the work that you, you did, you were, knew that, listen, if you hand Jamia the mic, it is over. And, I mean, it's still true to today. She, when you took the mic at Zilo, I, I, I walked all the way from the back of the sanctuary. I said, oh, it's over. Come on, come
Brittany Smith: Yes.
Kelly Diane Galloway: And so,
Brittany Smith: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: for, for being that model, um, that model, young preacher for us, because I had
Brittany Smith: Mm-hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: seen it before. You're the first
Brittany Smith: glory.
Kelly Diane Galloway: I've ever met in my entire life. That might be, you know, culturally acceptable in some places, just where
Brittany Smith: Hmm
Kelly Diane Galloway: wasn't. And so it gave me something to look up to and,
Brittany Smith: hmm.
Kelly Diane Galloway: and aspire to be. And so, um, and so thank you for that. I love you.
Jamesia: Thank
Brittany Smith: got emotional.
Jamesia: I know, right? Y'all see me
Brittany Smith: I did, yes. We, and I, I, I wanna just piggyback, I know we're over our time a little bit, but Jame, I want you to [00:27:00] know we love you. We see you, we see you, we see you, and God sees you. Um, we're rooting for you. Um, you know, there's no other, there's no, um, nothing in us that says that you can't and that God can, there's nothing that you can't do, and there's nothing that God won't give you the ability to do.
