00:14 Welcome back, we have all the family here and it may not
00:16 last long either, so I want to tell you that you can take 00:19 them anytime you need to take them, but we are going to 00:22 start out with asking you, there has been 00:25 major changes with Reginald. 00:27 Let's talk about when you first were dating and all the 00:30 fussing that was happening in your relationship. 00:33 He was jumping into gangs and acting like a fool, 00:35 and you guys probably broke up and got back together 00:38 a number of times. 00:39 So tell us from your point of view the changes that happened. 00:43 How did this beautiful family come about? 00:46 Well one time when I left for about six months, 00:49 I was pregnant with Reginald Jr. and as I look back I think if 00:54 I would have stayed away, none of this would have happened. 00:57 It was just a blessing to see what God has done because 01:01 I came back, and because he surrendered his life to God. 01:05 Did you believe it was ever going to happen? 01:07 No! - no, because that was a huge change, even in his 01:12 testimony that was a huge change. - yes! 01:15 Did you have a Christian background yourself? 01:19 I called myself a Christian, but I was still in and out. 01:25 I wasn't solid. - because you were attracted to him 01:28 and he wasn't in that life at all. - Right! 01:31 So you saw a lot of changes? - yeah! 01:33 How about now, watching him and your son and the 01:36 other kids, they sing in church and all that stuff. 01:39 How about that? 01:40 - it's amazing, it is absolutely amazing what God has done. 01:43 I would've never thought it would be like this. 01:47 So I'm going to ask now Renia, you were here during 01:51 this whole segment and listened to your brother talk about 01:53 his doing a whole Revelation Seminar, and you listened to 01:57 your dad's testimony, what do you think? 01:59 Well it is very cool, I really didn't think that he could 02:02 really do it because he's just a boy. 02:04 It was incredible how God could work through my brother. 02:08 Did you listen to the Revelation Seminar? - yes! 02:10 Did you go to the mall? - yes, every day I was there. 02:15 It was cool and sometimes I would go and sing, it was so 02:20 cool how God was working through our family and our dad's 02:24 testimony was very cool, and how he was in a gang, 02:31 it's just incredible how God brings a man like 02:37 him out of that. 02:38 - because you never knew him like that? 02:40 Now I never knew him like that, my dad was always gentle 02:44 and kind and all that and I never knew that he was in a 02:48 gang like that, angry and all that so it is cool how 02:52 God brought him out of that. 02:56 - it really makes you believe God can do anything. 02:58 God, can do anything He wants. 03:00 God brought him out so I am glad I have a dad to protect me 03:07 and keep me safe, I'm glad I have family because my dad 03:14 he's a good man and I'm glad he met my mom. 03:22 You guys all sing as a family right? - Yes! 03:25 I know while you were at 3ABN you guys went over and 03:29 some of you got to be on Tiny Tots, you're coming back to 03:33 maybe be young Kids Time, I mean that as to be fun to do 03:37 Ministry as a family. 03:39 - all of us know how to sing and we go around singing in 03:43 places, that's cool. 03:45 I love that and I heard you singing and you guys are so 03:49 good, so now I want to say, dad, as you listen to your son, 03:53 Reginald, talking up here, what did you think? 03:57 You know I can just see how God is using him as well, 04:02 and I think that for my life to be straightened up 04:07 was a path away for them, for them to have a chance. 04:12 When the Lord changed me for them, for all of this. 04:17 I don't know where He is taking it, or where He is going, 04:20 but I know He is going to do some great things. 04:23 - the Bible talks about that your children are like 04:27 quivers, arrows in a bow when you shoot 04:32 them out into the future. 04:33 You may never know where they land, but for you I'm 04:36 looking at all these beautiful children saying it is 04:39 going to be an incredible adventure for 04:42 you to watch them. 04:44 They will never have the life you've had. 04:47 I want you to just talk not only to me or the people at 04:52 the café, but anybody that is watching about having the 04:58 courage to step up and change your life. 05:00 What kinds of things do they need to remember? 05:03 To do and to turn over, those kind of things, what would 05:06 you say to someone, what are the benefits of doing that? 05:10 The thing is that if you will just take a stand where 05:14 ever your at, one thing is God loves you. 05:17 No matter what you are going through, 05:20 or what you have done, the Lord loves you. 05:22 All you have to do is allow Him to work through you. 05:27 Be willing to allow God to mold you, that is what I did. 05:32 Actually allowed Him to work with me and that's why I am 05:37 telling... - gangsters how about all the people that 05:42 are in gangs, or acting out, having this incredible 05:47 struggle and you have to tell them that God is bigger 05:52 than your struggle. - that's right. 05:54 He's bigger than your struggle. 05:57 Do you think about where you've been when you hold on to 06:01 your children, when you get to pray with them at night, 06:04 and when you're doing family worship, do you think about 06:08 what it is really worth this day? 06:10 The fight that you've had? 06:13 This is something, all this I have been wanting for so 06:17 long and now I am starting to get it. 06:19 Just have a family and to have someone to love you and 06:23 stuff like that, and I got it, the Lord gave it to me. 06:26 Amen, I want to thank everybody for being here. 06:30 It was amazing to have you on the program. 06:32 Thank you for saying a few things about your brother and 06:35 your dad, thanks for giving us a little bit of your 06:38 testimony and I know it is really tough for the kids to 06:40 sit so we are going to go ahead and take a break, 06:43 but when we come back I would like Reginald for you to 06:45 join me again and Marquand if you can join me. 06:47 Okay, we'll be right back, stay with us! |
