00:00:00.882 --> 00:00:03.609
To be honest, I ended up just like my mom.

00:00:03.609 --> 00:00:11.537
Yeah, I can say that I chased men in place of my children.

00:00:11.537 --> 00:00:26.609
So looking back now, I can say this is what happened and this is how it happened and this is why it happened, and that is now why I'm so adamant about my children.

00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:32.829
Welcome to the Call by God podcast with Adne Godet and myself, nixon Sylvain.

00:00:32.829 --> 00:00:39.783
This show is about dialogues of biblical characters and testimonies of Christians who submitted to the will of God.

00:00:39.783 --> 00:00:46.005
Each week, we bring on one guest so that they can share their story of how they were called by God.

00:00:46.005 --> 00:00:49.067
I hope this show inspires you.

00:00:49.067 --> 00:00:50.442
Enjoy.

00:00:50.442 --> 00:00:58.628
Welcome to the Call by God podcast, a podcast where we share personal stories of faith and discuss the Bible teachings on salvation.

00:00:58.628 --> 00:01:05.727
I'm your host, brother Nick, and I'm here with sister Adne Godet, and we are honored to share these powerful stories with you.

00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:15.185
Today we have a special guest, Fallon Sells, who will be sharing her testimony of how she came to know Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.

00:01:15.185 --> 00:01:19.349
Fallon will share her struggles before finding salvation.

00:01:19.349 --> 00:01:30.129
In addition, she will expound on how her decision to follow Christ and how that decision has had a positive impact on her faith journey and on her life.

00:01:30.340 --> 00:01:38.829
Sister Sells testimony will remind us that, no matter our past, God's love and grace are available to all who seek Him.

00:01:38.829 --> 00:01:53.486
It will also serve as a reminder that salvation is not just about getting into heaven y'all, but also about the transformation that occurs in our hearts and lives when we accept Jesus as our Lord and our Savior.

00:01:53.486 --> 00:01:59.313
So join us as we listen to sister Sells powerful testimony.

00:01:59.313 --> 00:02:03.328
Sister Sells, welcome to the Call by God podcast.

00:02:03.328 --> 00:02:04.069
How are you doing?

00:02:04.331 --> 00:02:05.192
I'm doing wonderful.

00:02:05.192 --> 00:02:07.965
Thank you, I'm excited to be here.

00:02:08.600 --> 00:02:10.984
Amen, amen, go ahead, sister Adne.

00:02:11.580 --> 00:02:21.562
I'm just so elated in how some preachers be saying high in a, was it high in a proud and peacock happy, or something like that.

00:02:21.562 --> 00:02:23.963
Or peacock happy, high in a proud.

00:02:23.963 --> 00:02:25.027
That you said yes.

00:02:26.020 --> 00:02:29.509
That you said yes to the call.

00:02:29.509 --> 00:02:31.605
I know your story has.

00:02:31.605 --> 00:02:34.426
It's going to touch a lot of lives.

00:02:34.426 --> 00:02:41.427
I remember the first time I heard you was on the young adult sisters call and I'm like this girl, this young woman right here.

00:02:41.427 --> 00:02:54.627
She has a story and the thing that people don't understand and realize is that when you become a Christian, there's always a story to help someone else understand why we say yes to Jesus.

00:02:54.627 --> 00:02:58.210
So I thank you for coming on and sharing your story with us.

00:02:58.740 --> 00:03:01.045
Thank, you for inviting me, amen.

00:03:01.186 --> 00:03:05.665
Yes, yes, let me tell you something the world is in for a treat.

00:03:05.665 --> 00:03:19.165
Let me tell you something Some soul out there, sister Sells, is going to be touched what you're about to share, cause I heard a little bit about your story, but I know Adne probably know a little bit more than me, so we're just looking forward to it.

00:03:19.165 --> 00:03:29.305
As I mentioned that, this is just like a virtual fellowship hall, and then I want you, cause we know you, but our listeners don't know you.

00:03:29.305 --> 00:03:32.429
So tell our listeners a little bit about yourself.

00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:47.307
Well, basically, I'm just a I want to say middle age, right, so I'll be 41 in four days, mother of three, grandmother of two, just a living life.

00:03:47.307 --> 00:03:49.968
So I'm a sinner, you know, and I'm just.

00:03:49.968 --> 00:03:58.989
I figured it out that Jesus is the only way, and that's the only way I want to rock with, and so I just want to share that with everybody.

00:03:59.620 --> 00:04:02.127
Amen, amen, I love it, I love it, I love it.

00:04:02.127 --> 00:04:43.026
So, again, like this and you didn't mention this, I don't know if it's something you didn't want to mention, cause I know you are a podcastor, you also are a podcastor and I have a heart and a love for podcasters, cause I know when folks are using the gift or their platforms to you know, be a value or be a blessing to somebody else, especially in the kingdom of God, cause you could be using any platform, any podcast, and no pun, nothing against any other podcast, but I believe a podcast that's related to people's soul salvation is the most important podcast that anybody can listen to.

00:04:43.026 --> 00:04:44.144
So I know your podcast.

00:04:44.144 --> 00:04:47.507
Do you want to tell us a little bit about your podcast or?

00:04:50.901 --> 00:04:57.586
Yeah, sure, 99 Ways to Win was founded by Michelle Wright, a fellow sister in Christ.

00:04:57.586 --> 00:05:01.290
She's an awesome, awesome human being.

00:05:01.290 --> 00:05:14.749
I also met her on the Young Adult Sister Prayer Call and she was doing a podcast and she was like we got to talking and she was like you know what I need a co-host and you're perfect for it.

00:05:14.749 --> 00:05:20.829
She was like you know, you're so funny and you're so raw and you're just so honest about you know everything.

00:05:20.829 --> 00:05:23.168
So she was like you know, I would like for you to do that.

00:05:23.168 --> 00:05:24.906
So, yeah, I was like, of course.

00:05:24.906 --> 00:05:29.329
So 99 Ways to Win podcast got a little.

00:05:29.329 --> 00:05:44.547
It's just a raw look, not necessarily scripture field, but just, you know, just a raw look at life and what people are going through, what kids may be going through, mothering, absent, fathering, you know, just a whole bunch of different life things.

00:05:44.547 --> 00:05:50.345
So we just talk about that and there's a little humor in it, a lot of Christian in it, you know, and a lot of ways to overcome.

00:05:50.699 --> 00:05:56.882
Hey man, hey man, and y'all go back and y'all check it out 99 Ways to Win Again.

00:05:56.882 --> 00:06:00.692
That's the number 99 Ways to Win with Michelle.

00:06:00.692 --> 00:06:01.783
All right, powerful.

00:06:01.783 --> 00:06:03.625
It's a powerful, definitely a powerful podcast.

00:06:03.625 --> 00:06:06.341
There was times when I was at work and I said you know what?

00:06:06.341 --> 00:06:08.067
Let me listen to this podcast.

00:06:08.067 --> 00:06:09.485
And that definitely has blessed me.

00:06:09.485 --> 00:06:15.468
So I like the work that Michelle is doing and I know 2024 is gonna be a big year for you guys.

00:06:15.468 --> 00:06:17.406
So I'm speaking it and I'm claiming it.

00:06:17.406 --> 00:06:19.004
So I'm looking forward to that.

00:06:19.004 --> 00:06:20.824
But enough with that let's.

00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:29.588
You know I like listening to or hearing my brothers and my sisters in Christ testimonies.

00:06:29.588 --> 00:06:43.603
It's always fascinated me, I think, when I see folks get baptized, you know when folks obey the gospel, you know when we are worshiping, the preachers are preaching and you know how hard it is to like stand up and obey the call.

00:06:43.603 --> 00:06:48.944
It takes a lot, Cause them demons, them devils are like you ain't going nowhere.

00:06:48.944 --> 00:06:52.925
You ain't going nowhere, not yet, not yet.

00:06:52.925 --> 00:07:03.406
So I know you wasn't always a Christian, we wasn't always a Christian, so we want you to walk us back before you obey the gospel.

00:07:03.406 --> 00:07:10.523
You're upbringing, you know, we want to know how life was like for sister cells.

00:07:10.523 --> 00:07:15.744
Before Jesus Christ, before all of this stuff, walk us through your life.

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.507
Man, I guess my.

00:07:19.507 --> 00:07:35.661
I think my earliest memory is probably of going to this town called Lonoke, you know, and it's a one stop light town, you know, and this is where my entire family is from, like they're rooted there it's.

00:07:35.661 --> 00:07:43.208
I can't date anyone there because everybody is some kind of kin to me, but we would go down there to see my.

00:07:43.208 --> 00:07:59.848
We only went down there, like we went down there all the time, but my memory of going down there the earliest I can remember is when I was about four or five years old and I went down there to see Mama T, which was my great aunt, and it was Christmas time.

00:07:59.848 --> 00:08:06.286
Mama T was I don't know how she had the money, I don't know what she did for a living.

00:08:06.286 --> 00:08:16.600
I think she was like a maid, but she always got us the good gifts, and so I pretty much can just remember just that.

00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:23.809
She zeroed in all the time on what I needed or what I wanted, and she got that.

00:08:23.809 --> 00:08:24.610
You know.

00:08:24.610 --> 00:08:38.895
So, but coming from there other than that, I really don't know in my life who, if there was anyone else paying attention to me at that.

00:08:38.895 --> 00:08:41.546
So I never had like.

00:08:41.546 --> 00:08:44.583
I've always felt like the forgotten child.

00:08:44.583 --> 00:08:49.370
There was never a time when I felt like I was lifted up.

00:08:49.370 --> 00:08:53.768
If I was noticed, it was cause I did something wrong.

00:08:53.768 --> 00:08:56.023
You know, it was just.

00:08:56.023 --> 00:08:58.429
It was I had an older brother.

00:08:58.429 --> 00:09:00.506
He is well, I have an older brother.

00:09:00.506 --> 00:09:05.690
He's seven years older than me and then I have and we grew up together.

00:09:05.690 --> 00:09:11.769
I do have a younger brother now, but he came years later, like my mom, she was 40 years old when she had him.

00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:21.965
But you know, my life is almost like just a passing glance just thinking back on it.

00:09:21.965 --> 00:09:24.144
Even last night we did this.

00:09:24.144 --> 00:09:28.626
We were on the prayer call and they were asking what is?

00:09:28.626 --> 00:09:33.001
If you can go back to any time of your life, that was the most joy.

00:09:33.001 --> 00:09:35.765
Where would it be?

00:09:35.765 --> 00:09:56.322
They don't know it, but I was crying on the other end because I had no memory of anything that I've ever done as a child that I would have wanted to go back to.

00:09:56.322 --> 00:10:16.763
You know, and it's so innocent to be like looking back now, I'm like that was an innocent time, but it just was never a fun time for me, because I had fun sometimes, but there was never a point where I would even, because there was always something behind it or something in front of it, where it was always something.

00:10:17.070 --> 00:10:22.399
But yeah, my life was just pretty much I was just kind of a forgotten child.

00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:27.955
In school People would say I was a bad kid.

00:10:27.955 --> 00:10:30.895
I don't think I was bad.

00:10:30.895 --> 00:10:33.775
Looking at it now, I really don't think I was bad.

00:10:33.775 --> 00:10:45.399
I think I was just so tall that people thought I should have been behaving differently than just a regular five-year-old because I look seven or whatever.

00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:51.783
So I think that when I talk it was more like you know better, because I'm taller than everybody.

00:10:51.783 --> 00:10:54.979
I'm six foot one right now, so I'm a tall woman.

00:10:54.979 --> 00:10:59.860
So as a little kid I was always a foot ahead, taller than everybody.

00:10:59.860 --> 00:11:01.535
So it was like I should have known better.

00:11:01.535 --> 00:11:06.421
I feel like I was zeroed in with that kind of stuff.

00:11:06.421 --> 00:11:11.239
So it was just a forgotten life.

00:11:11.239 --> 00:11:12.301
It was just life.

00:11:12.301 --> 00:11:14.475
That was it for me.

00:11:14.475 --> 00:11:18.620
So I don't have fond memories like that.

00:11:18.710 --> 00:11:21.336
I hung around a lot of old people, elderly people.

00:11:21.336 --> 00:11:28.956
My mom worked at an elderly center and every morning I had to go there.

00:11:28.956 --> 00:11:30.200
I drank coffee.

00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:35.697
Every morning as a five, six years old I was drinking coffee, made my own cup.

00:11:35.697 --> 00:11:51.634
My mom would take me there to get ready for work and then she dropped me off at school, but in the evenings when I got out of school I would go to her job and all of those elderly people.

00:11:51.634 --> 00:11:57.676
It was like an elderly activity center and I would hang around all those elderly people and I was the only little kid there.

00:11:57.676 --> 00:11:58.379
So guess what?

00:11:58.379 --> 00:11:59.394
I got all the attention.

00:11:59.394 --> 00:12:01.335
They were so sweet to me.

00:12:01.335 --> 00:12:03.034
I loved every bit of them.

00:12:03.034 --> 00:12:04.211
They were just.

00:12:04.211 --> 00:12:09.216
I got a lot out of them and I got a lot of joy out of them.

00:12:09.216 --> 00:12:16.039
Now that I think about it, that's a memory to me and I guess being around those elderly people was my happy place.

00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:22.542
And my mom then started working at an elderly nursing home.

00:12:22.542 --> 00:12:28.322
I was in there and massaging the elderly people's hands and stuff.

00:12:28.322 --> 00:12:31.673
They'd be like come over here, come over here next and I'd go over there.

00:12:33.350 --> 00:12:36.860
So elderly people were a big part of my life.

00:12:36.860 --> 00:12:39.258
I really appreciated them.

00:12:39.258 --> 00:12:43.094
I listened to all their stories, I marveled at them.

00:12:43.094 --> 00:12:46.294
I loved them for some reason.

00:12:46.294 --> 00:12:51.056
Even my stepdad's mom.

00:12:51.056 --> 00:12:54.403
She asked me one time there was no kids in the house.

00:12:54.403 --> 00:12:58.373
I used to stay over there sometimes and she asked me one time.

00:12:58.373 --> 00:13:05.417
She looked at me and she was like why are you even over here and I said well, I don't know.

00:13:05.417 --> 00:13:09.134
And she was like there's no kids over here and you're just like old people.

00:13:09.134 --> 00:13:12.580
And I was like I just like you and that was it.

00:13:12.580 --> 00:13:13.671
So it was just.

00:13:13.671 --> 00:13:17.921
But even now, looking back, I'm like I can.

00:13:17.921 --> 00:13:22.014
I don't think they like my mom much, so why was I over there?

00:13:22.014 --> 00:13:24.293
I wasn't related to it.

00:13:24.293 --> 00:13:31.875
So now I can see the slight in it now, like why are you over here?

00:13:31.875 --> 00:13:35.856
You're not my grandkids, but she still let me over there.

00:13:35.856 --> 00:13:40.398
So that was sweet, but I think she loved me anyway.

00:13:42.511 --> 00:13:50.779
So the way you felt when you were young as being a forgotten child, do you think it had a lot to do with the home, the household dynamic?

00:13:50.779 --> 00:14:02.519
Because I know, sometimes when people don't have their mothers in their lives or even their fathers like for me, I didn't have my dad in my life and that really that troubled me as a youth.

00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:08.499
So could you walk us through that process, like what was the driving factors that led you to feel the way you actually felt?

00:14:08.499 --> 00:14:17.899
And I think it's important because we live in an age where there's a lot of single mothers that's raising children, even single fathers that's raising children.

00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:26.417
And even if a young adult is listening to this episode, I want to know like I'm not saying that's your case, but I just want you to walk us through that those dynamics, like what led to that?

00:14:27.230 --> 00:14:29.798
Well, that's me feeling like I was the forgotten child.

00:14:31.471 --> 00:14:40.604
Was basically, again, I had an older brother.

00:14:40.604 --> 00:14:43.394
He was seven years older than me.

00:14:43.394 --> 00:14:51.220
He got a lot of stuff from my mom, for some reason, I don't know.

00:14:51.220 --> 00:14:56.754
He just they talked a lot more, they laughed more.

00:14:56.754 --> 00:15:01.139
It was never silly moments with me and my mom.

00:15:01.139 --> 00:15:04.139
It was just, you know, and my dad was out of the picture altogether.

00:15:04.139 --> 00:15:10.874
So my brother was able to do things, he was able to have friends over.

00:15:10.874 --> 00:15:19.010
I just sat there Like it, just I was, I don't know it.

00:15:19.010 --> 00:15:27.812
Just there was never a time when there was a genuine moment of I'm just happy to be your mom.

00:15:29.909 --> 00:15:43.173
I don't think I ever felt that, even like during times when she may have had a little money because we didn't have money, you know but even times when she had a little money, it was like she was excited to go and buy my brother stuff.

00:15:43.173 --> 00:15:45.714
We went to the mall for him.

00:15:45.714 --> 00:15:54.481
For me it was like she would literally tell me I don't have much money for you.

00:15:54.481 --> 00:15:55.563
You know what I'm saying.

00:15:55.563 --> 00:15:58.318
So you know, and it was just kind of, it was an aggravation.

00:15:58.318 --> 00:16:01.418
I felt like an aggravation to everybody, you know.

00:16:01.418 --> 00:16:02.892
So it was just.

00:16:02.892 --> 00:16:05.739
You know, even my brother, you know I go around him, you know.

00:16:05.739 --> 00:16:09.153
You know, get away from me.

00:16:09.153 --> 00:16:11.780
You know I don't want to take you anywhere, hey, you know.

00:16:11.780 --> 00:16:17.436
And then, like, if he did want to go somewhere and my mom was there, she was like, take your sister, I don't want to take her.

00:16:17.436 --> 00:16:18.714
Well, you're not leaving her here.

00:16:18.714 --> 00:16:21.611
Come on, man, like you know.

00:16:21.712 --> 00:16:24.320
So it's kind of like, does anybody want me?

00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:26.496
Yeah, where am I supposed to be?

00:16:26.496 --> 00:16:28.495
You know there were friends every once in a while.

00:16:28.495 --> 00:16:29.519
You know where we lived.

00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:35.201
You know there were friends sometimes, but I never had the feeling like family.

00:16:35.201 --> 00:16:41.759
My stepdad, my stepdad, was there since I have, has been with me since I was born.

00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.493
I never called him dad.

00:16:45.493 --> 00:16:53.381
You know like who who wouldn't call somebody that they were raised with as their father?

00:16:53.381 --> 00:16:59.341
I even introduce him as my dad to people, but I don't call him dad.

00:16:59.341 --> 00:17:01.812
So I've never had.

00:17:01.812 --> 00:17:04.820
I feel uncomfortable even calling my dad dad.

00:17:04.820 --> 00:17:07.578
It's it's a weird term to me.

00:17:07.578 --> 00:17:09.998
It's it's uncomfortable.

00:17:09.998 --> 00:17:10.811
So it's just.

00:17:10.811 --> 00:17:14.119
If I didn't have a dad, I felt like I was a bother to my mom.

00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:16.095
My brother didn't want to be a big brother.

00:17:16.095 --> 00:17:17.551
Where do I fit in?

00:17:18.990 --> 00:17:22.840
So it's kind of like nobody's paying attention to just the little things.

00:17:22.840 --> 00:17:25.925
Instead, it was if you got in, if you did something wrong.

00:17:25.925 --> 00:17:30.065
That's when you got all the attention, but even then it was negative.

00:17:30.065 --> 00:17:43.252
You know so, and that's not what I wanted, even when I tried to do something good, that's how I think, that's how I started people pleasing was let me try to do this, let me do this, let me do this, and then it still wasn't looked at.

00:17:43.252 --> 00:17:47.670
Yeah, that's what you're supposed to do, you know, type thing.

00:17:48.740 --> 00:18:03.945
But my brother could do something and just anything, and he gets praises, and you know, like, for instance, my brother and he probably gonna be mad at me if I say this but he played basketball for school, but he never got in.

00:18:03.945 --> 00:18:04.788
You know what I mean.

00:18:04.788 --> 00:18:10.050
I, on the other hand, was averaging 22 points a game.

00:18:10.050 --> 00:18:11.838
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

00:18:11.838 --> 00:18:18.064
But you know so it was just kind of like one of those things, like everybody had to come show up for his basketball games.

00:18:18.064 --> 00:18:22.173
But here I am, you know so that is good.

00:18:22.173 --> 00:18:31.039
My mom did show up to my sports games, though I will say that she showed up for every basketball game that was at home and all my volleyball games that was at home.

00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:34.529
That was the only thing I could do to make her pay attention to me.

00:18:34.740 --> 00:18:47.511
Let me ask you this question because, as I'm listening to you, do you believe that your mom and your biological dad kind of got together, but there wasn't nothing there, and then you was the Oops.

00:18:49.732 --> 00:18:54.076
Well, speaking of that, my father, me and my brother.

00:18:54.076 --> 00:18:55.797
That's seven years apart.

00:18:55.797 --> 00:18:57.423
We have the same father.

00:18:57.423 --> 00:18:59.864
We have the same father.

00:18:59.864 --> 00:19:11.874
My father was very abusive to my mother when my mother finally decided to leave I'm pregnant, but I'm gonna go anyway.

00:19:11.874 --> 00:19:17.211
So she left and I was the product of the separation.

00:19:17.211 --> 00:19:19.306
So I never seen my father and mother together.

00:19:19.306 --> 00:19:24.188
My brother did and he saw all the abuse.

00:19:24.188 --> 00:19:30.330
He saw the guns and the beating her and all that stuff.

00:19:30.330 --> 00:19:31.192
He saw all of that.

00:19:31.192 --> 00:19:32.323
I didn't see any of that.

00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:36.805
And then my stepdad came.

00:19:36.805 --> 00:19:44.646
I think he was there a little bit before the separation but he didn't care because he wanted my mom.

00:19:44.646 --> 00:19:49.130
So I'm pregnant, well, we'll raise her up.

00:19:49.130 --> 00:19:51.685
I guess he loved her like that.

00:19:51.685 --> 00:19:54.269
So he raised, he took care of me.

00:19:54.269 --> 00:19:56.027
He did take care of me.

00:19:56.582 --> 00:20:00.028
I will say that I just still never felt comfortable calling him dad.

00:20:00.028 --> 00:20:04.330
I don't know if my brother might have put something in my ear about that, because he did have.

00:20:04.330 --> 00:20:05.481
He knew my dad.

00:20:05.481 --> 00:20:07.204
So I don't remember.

00:20:07.204 --> 00:20:12.487
If he said don't call him dad, he says he did tell me that.

00:20:12.487 --> 00:20:14.185
So I don't know if that's what it was.

00:20:14.185 --> 00:20:15.202
I can't remember.

00:20:15.202 --> 00:20:18.126
But he did take care of me.

00:20:18.126 --> 00:20:22.130
He did the fatherly things but there was no love.

00:20:22.130 --> 00:20:24.326
He was kind of Detached.

00:20:24.326 --> 00:20:28.538
Yeah, he was Detached.

00:20:28.538 --> 00:20:32.321
He was very detached, I don't Sometimes.

00:20:32.321 --> 00:20:43.886
And I think my mom chasing for him kind of took the focus off of your kid, so it kind of did that.

00:20:43.886 --> 00:20:45.566
So that's what I'm thinking happened.

00:20:45.566 --> 00:20:57.258
Looking back now I can see that she was just kind of chasing him more so than raising us, gotcha, as I'm listening to you because we're going to get into these questions.

00:20:57.278 --> 00:21:18.632
I just want you to go a little deeper here To see your mom being the one chasing someone else, but not chasing you as far as like being her daughter, but making you feel like you didn't belong.

00:21:18.632 --> 00:21:25.385
And then the reason I'm asking this question because self-esteem is something that a lot of young women deal with.

00:21:25.385 --> 00:21:31.868
You understand what I'm saying, especially when you have a mother and most girls want to be like their mom.

00:21:31.868 --> 00:21:34.502
You understand what I mean.

00:21:34.502 --> 00:21:43.050
To know that here it is, I'm born, and you made me feel like I was invincible.

00:21:43.050 --> 00:21:49.280
What I want?

00:21:49.280 --> 00:22:02.355
To make sure I ask the question correctly what goes through your mind now as a 41-year-old adult with your children, your daughter, your kids?

00:22:02.355 --> 00:22:11.041
Are there any struggles to kind of hold them close, or is there a disconnect between you and them?

00:22:12.779 --> 00:22:15.448
To be honest, I ended up just like my mom.

00:22:15.448 --> 00:22:23.551
Yeah, I can say that I chased men in place of my children.

00:22:23.551 --> 00:22:34.903
So, looking back now I can say this is what happened and this is how it happened and this is why it happened.

00:22:34.903 --> 00:22:45.528
And that is now why I'm so adamant about my children, because it's and even I can say with my first born we don't have a relationship right now.

00:22:45.528 --> 00:23:09.481
I chose a man over her and I mean it's almost in programming when you're raised that way, there's nothing to tell you because she's doing it, so she's not going to tell you that, hey, this was wrong, so if she may not even be aware.

00:23:09.481 --> 00:23:16.634
So I had to figure that out on my own.

00:23:16.634 --> 00:23:26.378
That that's what I did, and it took after my daughter's and our relationship to just dwindle down.

00:23:26.378 --> 00:23:31.297
That's when I realized I did that.

00:23:31.297 --> 00:23:41.420
I chose chasing a man over loving you totally completely.

00:23:43.027 --> 00:23:52.989
Now I will say that things that I didn't take from my mom was which was probably a bad thing too, but I did it.

00:23:52.989 --> 00:23:54.372
You know how we can do things.

00:23:54.372 --> 00:24:04.199
I forgot what it's called, but it's when you're trying to do the opposite of the bad thing but it turns out to be worse.

00:24:04.199 --> 00:24:19.737
So my daughter I didn't feel looked at and some of that was because I wasn't even like spent money on, I guess, in a way.

00:24:19.737 --> 00:24:44.868
So what I did was I made sure I spent a lot of money on my kid Birthdays and everything blew it out the water her birthday parties, like she brand new shoes all the time, clothes, everything, like she was taken care of physically, you know so, but not emotionally, right, not emotionally.

00:24:47.644 --> 00:24:55.656
And I want to say that I tried to be there, but looking back now I can say I wasn't there.

00:24:55.656 --> 00:25:06.375
You gave her what you had, yeah, and that's why I could be so forgiving towards my mother, because I understand that we don't come with instructions.

00:25:06.375 --> 00:25:15.978
I didn't have instructions that said, hey, make sure you show Fallon to take care of her and this, this, this, this way, you know.

00:25:15.978 --> 00:25:24.505
And so me trying to do the opposite of what my mom did, I kind of gave her a sense of entitlement because she had the new stuff she had.

00:25:24.505 --> 00:25:27.209
You know she had a better phone than I did, you know.

00:25:27.209 --> 00:25:31.736
Just, I made sure she was taken care of and in that way.

00:25:31.736 --> 00:25:38.545
But then I neglected my other kid, so the middle child, and again I was the second born.

00:25:38.545 --> 00:25:41.545
I neglected my second born.

00:25:42.146 --> 00:25:45.468
So so Do that.

00:25:45.468 --> 00:25:47.796
Most parents do that like, especially women.

00:25:47.796 --> 00:25:50.545
They'll neglect their children for the sake of a man.

00:25:50.545 --> 00:25:51.806
The reason why I say that?

00:25:51.806 --> 00:26:04.060
Because before I obeyed the gospel many, many years ago, I used to date women and I seen this firsthand where women would neglect their baby or their child just to hook up with me.

00:26:04.060 --> 00:26:05.567
And for me, I'm in a world.

00:26:05.567 --> 00:26:08.055
I'm not thinking I'm like I'm just a dude with no children.

00:26:08.055 --> 00:26:11.153
I'm not thinking about the child because I'm not in.

00:26:11.253 --> 00:26:17.394
It was crazy because I was brought up in a single family household, so I kind of kind of know a little bit like how things work.

00:26:17.394 --> 00:26:23.458
Consider that my mom, my mom, she, yeah, she was that type too, but she did it on her own subtle way.

00:26:23.458 --> 00:26:39.317
But but I seen this from my own eyes and I believe that this episode could help somebody, help a mother or a young mother coming up because as a mother, as a young mother, you're not given those instructions, like because women is thinking like I need to provide, I'm in love.

00:26:39.317 --> 00:26:41.545
Because women are so emotional, they're emotional.

00:26:41.545 --> 00:26:48.603
So if they see or happen to hook up with a God that they love or like us, we call that lust or to have a desire for that.

00:26:49.044 --> 00:26:49.484
They're not yet.

00:26:49.484 --> 00:26:51.545
They have a child, maybe for somebody else.

00:26:51.545 --> 00:26:55.577
So they're not thinking like okay, they thinking about their own well being.

00:26:55.577 --> 00:26:56.761
I got to satisfy me.

00:26:56.761 --> 00:26:57.545
You know what I mean?

00:26:57.545 --> 00:27:01.525
My baby could stay with grandma or grandpa.

00:27:01.525 --> 00:27:04.505
I still look good, I'm still sexy.

00:27:04.505 --> 00:27:13.259
So again, I thank you again for sharing that, because I could help a young soul, a young lady that's up and coming, a single mother that's possibly chasing a dude.

00:27:13.259 --> 00:27:17.535
So I'm glad that she was open with that because, like you said, we're not given a manuscript.

00:27:17.535 --> 00:27:22.214
But go ahead, Adne, I just thought I'd add that from a male perspective, because I witnessed that firsthand.

00:27:22.665 --> 00:27:25.525
Look, I think a lot of us witnessed that firsthand with my mama, dad.

00:27:25.525 --> 00:27:29.755
My auntie told us straight up y'all, think I'm going to let this man leave me for y'all.

00:27:29.755 --> 00:27:33.407
So I think everybody, yeah, yeah.

00:27:33.407 --> 00:27:39.395
She told us that, yeah, yeah, I ain't going to let this man leave me for y'all, yeah, yeah.

00:27:39.395 --> 00:27:53.077
So I think everybody, whether it's at the hand of the mother or whether it's at the hand of the aunt, yeah, it's one of those situations where it's a self esteem thing, right.

00:27:53.077 --> 00:28:08.978
It's one of those things where you, when you don't have self love and this is where the question is going to come in when you don't have a relationship with Jesus, I see, because the only satisfaction that we truly get as women, men, is the satisfaction of Jesus.

00:28:08.978 --> 00:28:19.138
So, as I segue into this question is that I'm going to ask how long did it take you to say yes to the gospel of Christ?

00:28:19.138 --> 00:28:28.974
Well, let me make it two part who introduced you and how long did it take you to?

00:28:29.035 --> 00:28:30.538
say yes to the gospel of Christ.

00:28:30.538 --> 00:28:35.193
That's kind of tricky for me because nobody introduced me.

00:28:35.193 --> 00:28:42.750
Man, it's again, you know, the book.

00:28:42.750 --> 00:28:52.820
The book the part of the book that's coming out when I on my story is is talking about how I came to know Jesus.

00:28:52.820 --> 00:28:54.690
And it was an accident.

00:28:54.690 --> 00:28:58.368
So I think you know, like that's what I would call it.

00:28:58.368 --> 00:29:10.166
But it was just like this, this coincidence, that a bus was riding through Looking it was a regular school bus and I was.

00:29:10.386 --> 00:29:18.828
I was outside on a Sunday morning just doing my own thing and it came by and it stopped right in front of me and it said want to come to church?

00:29:18.828 --> 00:29:28.441
And I was like sure I left.

00:29:28.441 --> 00:29:39.718
And again in my book it says in the book not my book, but in the book it's going to say that I didn't even tell my mother because she wouldn't have noticed I was gone anyway.

00:29:39.718 --> 00:29:42.917
So I went to church.

00:29:42.917 --> 00:29:54.058
They had a puppet show going on talking about one of the stories of God of the Bible in the Bible, and it was cute, it was fun.

00:29:54.058 --> 00:29:59.497
We had snacks after, they gave us a goldfish after and I thought that was awesome.

00:29:59.497 --> 00:30:02.817
So I went back again the next Sunday.

00:30:02.817 --> 00:30:04.289
I was standing outside waiting.

00:30:04.289 --> 00:30:15.317
I liked this, so it was just that's how I began, and I don't even know at that age if I had connected it with God, because it was puppets.

00:30:15.317 --> 00:30:23.180
I want to say I was in the fourth grade, so maybe about 10.

00:30:24.329 --> 00:30:26.952
First of all, yeah, so it was a.

00:30:29.430 --> 00:30:30.776
I don't even remember that.

00:30:30.776 --> 00:30:36.638
I know it was stories in the Bible, but there was never any conviction there.

00:30:36.638 --> 00:30:37.181
You know what I mean.

00:30:37.181 --> 00:30:42.939
It was just I was just going, but that was cool because I got to get away.

00:30:42.939 --> 00:30:52.576
I got to, you know, I liked it, and so after that I think my next encounter was a vacation Bible school.

00:30:52.576 --> 00:31:00.183
So my aunt I did have an aunt that was, I had a couple of aunts All my family was raised in church.

00:31:00.183 --> 00:31:01.391
Christ, you know what I'm saying Like.

00:31:01.391 --> 00:31:07.590
So all my family raised in church is just some of them didn't stay there, you know so.

00:31:07.590 --> 00:31:16.152
So I did have an aunt that lived in the same town as me, that was, and I guess they had a whole how many can bring guests?

00:31:16.152 --> 00:31:24.676
Type of day and my cousin reached out to me and said, hey, I want you to be my guest for vacation Bible school so we can have enough people, you know.

00:31:24.809 --> 00:31:30.479
So I went to vacation Bible school, loved it, I loved it.

00:31:30.479 --> 00:31:44.718
I was like I want to keep coming back here to this specific place and again, not connecting it as far as salvation goes you know what I'm saying but just loving being in that atmosphere.

00:31:44.718 --> 00:31:48.597
So the love, the joy, the happiness.

00:31:48.597 --> 00:31:53.118
I mattered there Because you know I can, you know I did matter there.

00:31:53.118 --> 00:31:57.020
I felt like I did anyway, even though it was a lot of kids, you know.

00:31:57.020 --> 00:32:04.233
And then my aunt was like, well, you know, I was like, can I go to church with you, you know, on Sundays.

00:32:04.233 --> 00:32:10.095
Then, because this was a week thing, vbs is like a week and then you're done Well, how can I come back?

00:32:10.095 --> 00:32:11.915
I want to come back to this place.

00:32:11.915 --> 00:32:16.953
So I asked my aunt hey, can I come to church Anytime, honey?

00:32:16.953 --> 00:32:18.153
That's what she says.

00:32:18.153 --> 00:32:27.335
See, if you need a ride to church, I don't care where you live, she will come get you, she will do that.

00:32:27.335 --> 00:32:36.070
And so I went to church with her, kept going to church, kept going to church, growing up.

00:32:36.172 --> 00:32:49.315
Now, you know, I'm 14 now, so I'm growing up and I'm listening, I'm hearing and stuff, and I honestly don't know what made me wake up one Saturday morning.

00:32:49.315 --> 00:32:53.700
But every time they would ask you know, do the invitation?

00:32:53.700 --> 00:33:00.143
Like Nick said, it's a lot of work going in your brain.

00:33:00.143 --> 00:33:03.820
First of all, I shrink myself.

00:33:03.820 --> 00:33:10.621
I have a habit of shrinking myself, so I didn't want to get up in front of all those people.

00:33:10.621 --> 00:33:13.797
Our church was like 450 strong.

00:33:13.797 --> 00:33:14.920
Right then, you know what I mean.

00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:17.317
We would have a tenuous of 600.

00:33:17.317 --> 00:33:20.940
So I'm like I'm not getting up in front of all these people.

00:33:20.940 --> 00:33:24.251
The clothes I had on were lackluster anyway, you know.

00:33:24.251 --> 00:33:25.631
I didn't dress right, you know.

00:33:25.631 --> 00:33:28.460
So I was just kind of like, hmm, not going to go.

00:33:28.460 --> 00:33:32.659
But one Saturday morning I woke up, that's it.

00:33:32.659 --> 00:33:41.036
I called my cousin the one that asked me to VBS, and I said I want to get baptized and he said right now.

00:33:41.036 --> 00:33:46.750
I said right now, and he said well, let me make a couple of phone Now.

00:33:46.810 --> 00:33:50.056
He is not that much older than me, he's probably 16.

00:33:50.056 --> 00:33:57.978
So but his mom, like I said, his mom was a soldier, so he already knew what to do.

00:33:57.978 --> 00:33:59.549
He was like she want to be baptized.

00:33:59.549 --> 00:34:03.096
You know, our church is for us if they say they want to get baptized right now.

00:34:03.096 --> 00:34:06.159
It's right now, you know, because no time to waste.

00:34:06.159 --> 00:34:14.699
So he called me back and was like we coming to pick you up, you know, and they came and picked me up.

00:34:14.699 --> 00:34:19.041
It was just me, him and the man that baptized me.

00:34:19.041 --> 00:34:33.900
And I got in the water, baptized, and my cousin was sitting in front row on the first pew and he was just clapping when I came up out that water and I felt I was gonna do this.

00:34:33.900 --> 00:34:40.335
I did, Look, I felt like I could do it, the whole Christian thing.

00:34:40.335 --> 00:34:45.733
You know, I really had good intentions but things happen.

00:34:45.733 --> 00:34:48.335
You know, life is life.

00:34:49.751 --> 00:34:50.494
You hear me.

00:34:50.929 --> 00:34:54.257
Because I promise you, I thought I was good, I was like I'm not sinning ever.

00:34:54.257 --> 00:34:55.454
I got this.

00:34:55.454 --> 00:35:04.456
You know, and I think that's the misconception is that you know, when we get baptized, we think this is a change Like this is it.

00:35:04.456 --> 00:35:09.998
I made the decision, I'm gonna go down in this water and Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

00:35:09.998 --> 00:35:18.018
You know, we make our confession and everything, and then we go on out there thinking we got this and uh-uh.

00:35:21.217 --> 00:35:31.755
I love how you're sharing this because the big, like you said, the biggest misconception is you grew up with a child that would.

00:35:31.755 --> 00:35:37.637
You grew up as a child that felt invisible, wasn't seen, wasn't taken care of.

00:35:37.637 --> 00:35:44.659
But you get into a relationship with Jesus but you're still that child that wasn't seen.

00:35:45.170 --> 00:35:54.974
That was invisible and as you're growing and you're like I should be closer to him, but you still are that child that wasn't seen, that was invisible.

00:35:54.974 --> 00:35:59.896
I'm sharing that because sometimes people make this misconception.

00:35:59.896 --> 00:36:06.414
When you become a Christian, I'm good, I'm straight, ain't no issues, ain't nothing gonna come, because I'm in this.

00:36:06.414 --> 00:36:15.255
But you're still that person who has hurt, who has damaged, who has brokenness.

00:36:15.255 --> 00:36:16.659
That has taken place.

00:36:16.659 --> 00:36:26.501
And one thing we have to remember when it happens to you as a child, it stays with you until you go through the process of healing.

00:36:26.521 --> 00:36:31.956
I see, yeah, it does, if you don't get healed, you're going to be nothing but a broken Christian.

00:36:32.778 --> 00:36:33.000
Yeah.

00:36:33.670 --> 00:36:34.896
Even though you're chasing Jesus.

00:36:36.090 --> 00:36:36.893
Broken Christian.

00:36:37.230 --> 00:36:39.757
That child is still broken.

00:36:40.398 --> 00:36:40.780
Yeah.

00:36:41.210 --> 00:36:49.117
Sometimes the adult person is seeking Jesus, but that little child is still broken.

00:36:49.969 --> 00:36:55.817
And eventually there is a merge that needs to take place and that child needs to heal.

00:36:55.817 --> 00:37:10.438
So I appreciate you sharing what you're sharing, because there's somebody out there that is looking to get into a relationship with Christ and they're like, if I just get in a relationship with them, I'll be fine.

00:37:10.438 --> 00:37:15.293
Yes, I can attest, listen, it's a phallin.

00:37:15.293 --> 00:37:23.094
Once you get in that water and you say, before you get in that water you say I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and you go down that water.

00:37:23.094 --> 00:37:29.273
Always remember there's a process, mercy, there's healing, there's a healing of Jesus.

00:37:29.273 --> 00:37:32.052
And add me's favorite saying you need a therapist.

00:37:32.896 --> 00:37:38.554
What you saying, agreed, agreed, like yeah, you need a therapist.

00:37:39.030 --> 00:37:46.974
Jesus is the greatest therapist, but sometimes you need one of them on earth that you could sit on their couch and say, doc, I need some help.

00:37:46.974 --> 00:37:56.878
So that's powerful, phallin, because you woke up on a Saturday and you knew that you needed a relationship with Christ.

00:37:57.530 --> 00:38:06.838
As you alluded to add me, when Jesus Christ got baptized, the spirit led him into the wilderness and we know who met him there at the wilderness it was the devil.

00:38:06.838 --> 00:38:14.920
So kind of like how you pointed that out, when we become Christians, satan is always interested in pulling us back to his team.

00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:22.862
So I think that's a very important point that you wanna know the walk of sister phallin after she got baptized.

00:38:22.862 --> 00:38:25.916
Obviously we're gonna fast forward because we know when life gets real right.

00:38:25.916 --> 00:38:36.456
We want you to talk to us about the real, real right, cause it's one thing to get baptized when you're 14, parents still around, right, your parents still around, no kids.

00:38:36.456 --> 00:38:37.873
That's well and good.

00:38:37.873 --> 00:38:40.637
But we wanna know when things got real.

00:38:40.637 --> 00:38:47.701
You know the music when it got real, real, real quick.

00:38:47.701 --> 00:38:49.766
Walk us through that.

00:38:50.070 --> 00:38:52.016
Well, yeah, they got real real quick.

00:38:52.016 --> 00:38:59.637
Yeah, that same year, Like it got real that same year.

00:38:59.637 --> 00:39:05.795
You know, again, growing up as an invisible child, you're an invisible teenager.

00:39:05.795 --> 00:39:19.396
So, and your mom, you know, even though I used to get in trouble a lot in school, like I promise you, it was some bias going on, I promise you, cause half the time I wasn't doing a lot of things.

00:39:19.396 --> 00:39:21.697
So now I don't have trust in adults, you know what I mean.

00:39:21.697 --> 00:39:30.400
So, because they would lie on me about some things and I would just be like you know, this is insane.

00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:32.675
This is a whole adult Like what do you mean?

00:39:32.675 --> 00:39:33.994
I didn't do that.

00:39:33.994 --> 00:39:42.481
Yeah, you did, and it's just, and my mom wouldn't hear it, she was like you know now, you did it, you did it, I'm sure you did it, you know, and I get it.

00:39:42.481 --> 00:39:43.463
We know our kids.

00:39:43.463 --> 00:39:58.480
But there's some things I'm just not gonna do and because I don't know what it was, but whatever it was, it just created a downfall Ever since I got in trouble that first time in second grade for something I did not do.

00:39:58.730 --> 00:40:09.621
When I tell you, I gotta tell you this story, cause if I don't tell you this, it's not gonna let you understand the severity of my lack of trust in adults and teachers and stuff like that.

00:40:09.621 --> 00:40:29.934
But I had this one teacher in second grade I wanna say her name, so bad but I'm not gonna say that, but anyway she would stare at me in class and you know as a kid, like I said this second grade, so when somebody's staring at you you kind of do something goofy.

00:40:29.934 --> 00:40:31.534
You know what I mean, like as a child.

00:40:31.534 --> 00:40:34.398
You know it's like you look at them and it's my teacher.

00:40:34.398 --> 00:40:41.456
So I'm looking, I'm like hi, you know, and I'll wave at her, you know, or something like that, and she just, she glare.

00:40:41.456 --> 00:40:49.742
It wasn't a nice kind look or anything, it was a straight glare, cutting her eyes at me the whole time.

00:40:49.909 --> 00:40:57.538
I don't know why, but one day I came to school and I had to go straight to the office.

00:40:57.538 --> 00:40:59.893
Why I gotta go to the office.

00:40:59.893 --> 00:41:05.858
So I see now there was two bad kids in her class, me and this other little boy.

00:41:05.858 --> 00:41:13.177
This little boy and I don't like the youths race, ain't it, but they were the same color.

00:41:13.177 --> 00:41:16.152
The teacher and him were the same color, okay, and I was me.

00:41:16.152 --> 00:41:19.798
So the little boy was in the office.

00:41:19.798 --> 00:41:23.117
He has scratches all over him and everything.

00:41:23.117 --> 00:41:27.070
And so, you know, I was like I wonder what this is about.

00:41:27.070 --> 00:41:28.083
You know I go in there.

00:41:28.784 --> 00:41:33.646
The teacher says we're going to suspend you for three days because this is my first time now.

00:41:33.646 --> 00:41:39.867
First time I was a talker in kindergarten and first grade but I never got in trouble like that.

00:41:39.867 --> 00:41:50.811
It's my first time in the office and they say I'm suspended, we're suspending you for three days because the teacher says she saw me beating up this little boy.

00:41:50.811 --> 00:41:57.039
I never touched that boy, never touched him.

00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:00.059
And the teacher said she saw me do it.

00:42:00.059 --> 00:42:03.059
It was almost like they had both planned it, because he said I did it too.

00:42:03.059 --> 00:42:05.059
And I'm like what are y'all talking about?

00:42:05.059 --> 00:42:11.677
But my mom didn't believe me and I was telling her mom I'm not even a violent kid Like this is not me.

00:42:11.677 --> 00:42:12.019
What do you mean?

00:42:12.019 --> 00:42:19.762
I got a whooping at home and all that good stuff, and so at that point I was just like, okay, y'all want bad, I can be bad.

00:42:19.762 --> 00:42:21.291
You know what I mean.

00:42:21.291 --> 00:42:24.510
So we could do things, you know.

00:42:26.510 --> 00:42:28.059
But anyway, that lady and I'm gonna tell you how God works.

00:42:28.059 --> 00:42:37.393
And looking back now I realized this and I don't know what happened to her, but during the middle of the year she was gone.

00:42:37.393 --> 00:42:39.059
The middle of the year she was gone.

00:42:39.059 --> 00:42:41.059
I don't know what happened to her.

00:42:41.059 --> 00:42:48.074
We just got a new teacher and I'm telling you there wasn't nobody but God.

00:42:48.074 --> 00:42:51.552
There wasn't nobody but God, and was replaced with a decent teacher.

00:42:51.552 --> 00:43:00.000
A decent teacher, like she had probably heard from other people that one gets in trouble and I could tell that.

00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:03.577
But at that age I could tell that she was kind of leery about me.

00:43:03.577 --> 00:43:04.059
But she was sweet.

00:43:04.059 --> 00:43:10.150
I could tell she was sweet and she wanted me to have a chance and so I didn't get in trouble after that.

00:43:11.219 --> 00:43:18.911
But anyway, coming fast forwarding to now, I had issues with adults and things of that nature.

00:43:18.911 --> 00:43:30.869
So, being an invisible teenager, my mother was tired by this time, tired of trying to deal with me mentally.

00:43:30.869 --> 00:43:35.059
I'm saying, looking back now I could tell she was just tired.

00:43:35.059 --> 00:43:51.728
Now she may have been tired of my stepdad I mean tired of him too because he was doing things and then tired of me and tired of being a mother, tired of struggling because she was struggling, tired of working two jobs, tired of doing this.

00:43:51.728 --> 00:43:53.070
She was tired.

00:43:53.070 --> 00:44:01.371
So I didn't get in trouble much Like I should have been, but she let a lot of stuff go.

00:44:01.371 --> 00:44:11.775
At 14, I went to a friend's house.

00:44:11.775 --> 00:44:16.550
My mom told me I can go over there to some friend's house.

00:44:16.550 --> 00:44:18.525
Went over there.

00:44:18.525 --> 00:44:22.938
I don't want to go too far into it, but ended up being right.

00:44:24.063 --> 00:44:28.059

Servant

Single mother of 3. Grandmother of 2. Grew up in a single mother home of a working mother who has a strong personality. I obeyed the gospel at the young age of 14. From there, I spent life in the fast lane. Binging on Church whenever convenient or needed the help. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in my teens. It wasn’t until after an abusive relationship and the trauma of it, that I was forced to my knees and within my spirit knew that the only one to help was the Lord! I am still single but now, I know without a shadow of doubt that I’m not alone!
