Don giving them like the million bucks things and its coves not me good it ste listening to the movie together for ste Please, I don't join Jo. You gotta use that turn you you gotta turn to turn them out. You got to turn them out. The water, the water go. Come come on your thing, h I show will I good morning? Everybody you are listening to the voice, Come on, dave me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man o man o, man Hey, you know to date. I just want to say something, um that I don't think I've ever shared this way before. UM. The title is very simple, and that is it's been worth it to me, you know. I just I just kept thinking that this morning, that it's all been worth it to me. And what I mean by that is this relationship that I have with my heavenly father, it's been worth it to me. I can't even tell you the value that it has had in my life. I can't tell you how it's helped me to understand not only my purpose, but to better understand my past. That's That's that's critical, man, because I'm grateful for that, because so many people can't get beyond their past and event a set of circumstances, some calamity that besets them. Maybe it's been grief something, but it ties so many people up. It's been so worth it to me it, man, it's it's been worth having someone to go to when no one else was there. Do you do you understand what I'm saying. It has It has given me a place to go when no one else has been there. Oh, hey man, we're pulling for you. Hey man, hanging there, hey man, keep your head up, all of that. But I gotta tell you, man, you get yourself in some circumstances and situations in this thing called life when no one can help you but God, When the only person that could possibly understand or know what you're feeling is God. The only person that I'll sit there with you through it all and understand everything about it has been God. It's been worth it to me, man, It's it's been worth it to me. It's been the biggest improvement in my life. I mean, man, as I look back over my life and forming a strong bond with God has been the most beneficial thing to me. You know, these things you read in your in your in your in writings in the Bible or or whatever you're reading. You know, when you when you read scriptures and things of that nature. It it's it's been around a long time. It holds so much truth to it. I mean, man, it's like, how could this have been written so long ago and still pertain directly to today? I mean that that's amazing. That is amazing to me that. I mean, that has to be God at work to have written something so complete, so dead on point that if you read it today it means exactly what pertains to today. That's amazing, man. That's why my spiritual walk it's just worth it to me. And I keep saying it's worth it, because if you're sitting out there and you're tripping like I was tripping, deciding, now let me do it. I got a few more things I want to do, a couple more girls I want to hoil at, couple more things I want to get into. I got a couple more deals I want to do. I got a little bit more dirt. I want to roll up on me a little bit. First for while, man, I wish I had known. I really wish I had understood exactly what forming a relationship with God would do for me. It's been worth every person who out there who hate on me, that don't even know me, it's because I have a relationship with Him that I'm fine with that, or I don't care for it. But it ain't gonna stop me though. See, because I know for a fact that haters make you greater. I know for a fact that haters validate your mere existence. I know for a fact that half of them is out of envy and jealousy because of something you're doing that they wish they could do or they won't credit for, so they just now anything all that bam, and now you just all over the place with people. Man, I'm so grateful for this relationship that it has not allowed outside influences that do not have my best interests at hard to throw me off. Course, it has just been worth it. And if you're sitting out there and you're wondering about the benefits of it, I can't even tell you what it's like to know that when bad things are happening to me, the calming piece that I feel that I know that that's gonna be all right too. That I know that this tool shall pass. That I know in my heart of hearts, man, that there's got to be a reason for this. And if I can just hang on in there, he gonna unfold that from me and he gonna let me see it. But the number one thing I always know is I'm gonna survive this one too, that this tool shall pass. It has been worth it to me, man, to have this thing called faith, which is the belief in things that you cannot see, and to know man along the way that, oh, my goodness, man, even though I don't know what's next, or even I'm not really sure about the next step, I do know for a fact that some mooe is coming. I do know for a fact. It is a fact that God will take care of me. It is a fact that he will never ever leave me or desert me. If I just stay here while I'm suposed to be. He's coming, The Calvary's coming over the hill. He coming over the hill, and when he come over that hill, he gonna wipe out all this mess down here. That's that's trying to hurt me, That that I don't have to worry about my enemies anymore that my enemies that are all around you can surround me. You can shoot all the arrows you want. That's not to say that none of them ain't gonna come close. And I ain't gonna say that, you know, I ain't gonna be a little under some pressure, a little nervous about being shot at so hard. But at the end of the day, I know this for show. Ain't none of them gonna stick in me. You could shoot them, but ain't none of them gonna stick in me. No matter what you do, no weapon formed against me. Nothing you can't. You can't do nothing with me. Man, I'm so cool. It's been worth it for me. Man, you're listening to ladies and gentlemen.

With the nephew and Junior coming up next. You're listening to the stew well. Time now to ask the CLO Chief Love Officer Steve Harvey. This one is from Billy in Ohio, Steve Billy Wright. But listen to this Billy Wrights. I'm tied up in an affair with a woman that loved to have sex on the back seat of her Chevy Tahoe. This past Sunday, I was at church with my wife and she pulled up to the church and texted me to come outside. I left church and went to the back seat of the tahoe. Afterwards, I nodded at the parking lot god guard and uh, I went went. I'm back in church The next Sunday, the security guard told me that my secret was safe with him. Should I trust him or not? First of all, Dog, First of all, should I trust him or nothing? Let's start with you stupid please dog, he the security guard. You had to climb in the back seat or y'all had to go into the back seat. Either way, you went in the back door or you climbed over the seat. He saw it, and he tell you a man, your secret safe with me? Should I trust him? Okay, let's say you don't trust him? What's your next move? What? Hold? Hold? Let me guess you're gonna have him killed? Dog? What the hell can you possibly do? Can you trust him? Dog? You're stupid? Man? We are you answering that? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, you could trust him? Why did you go out there and get in that card? I can't get past that leaving at a church church? All right, billy, you're on your own, so says a cello. All right. This one is from New Mommy and Monroe, Louisiana. She says, I'm a twenty four year old mother of a two year old boy, and I'm engaged to a man that is not my child's dad. He's planning to adopt my son and he's already talking about how he's going to discipline him. My son is at the age where he says no to everything, and he thinks it's cute. My fiance says it needs to stop now, and he needs something better than the swat on his butt that I gave him. He says he needs a leather strap on his butt. But that's a bit harsh for a two year old. How can I defend my baby from this? Well, I think that's a little harsh for tweet. I grew up getting spinks, but not at two. No, brother, you need to pull up and you need to talk to you, to you, to your future husband about it, because obviously he has no children. Anybody talking about striking a baby at two, I'm just gonna say, you need more. You need a strap on a two yeard? Are you kidding me? Now? You've been traumatizing, But you need to sit down and have a talk with him. I would suggest y'all probably need to go to some type of counseling about child weary because that's so many other ways to raise children.

We got it for you. Here it is Strawberry Letter. Thank you, nephew. Subjects I need more than hugging and hunching. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am engaged to a sixty three year old man that acts a lot older than he is. His thoughts on sex and life in general shock me, and I need some advice I'm only fifty nine years old and I still enjoy sex, and I have tried to be patient with my man. He thinks I'm a freak because I try to initiate sex daily. He likes to grind and do a lot of kissing, but we rarely go all the way. I like to take care of him in other ways, if you know what I mean, But when it comes to me, he says that his mouth is designed to eat food and nothing else. He won't even kiss around it. I'm in love with this man and I am looking forward to a lifetime with him, but I am going to need sex often. He says demeaning things to me when I try to get him to be freaky with me, so I've stopped him from hunting on me or rubbing on me. In the bedroom, I just lie there and wait for him to go to sleep so I can handle my business by myself. I am letting you all know that I feel like cheating on this guy, and I have my ex on standby just in case. I have asked my man why he proposed to me, and he said he loves me and he wants to show me that there's a lot more to a great marriage than just sex. It's not that he can't perform, because he is always ready, he just doesn't want to do the do So should I follow my man's lead and stop pressuring him for sex? I'm afraid he may never change his ways and I may end up in a sexless man marriage. I'm not getting any younger. So should I marry him or move on and find myself in a more compatible find myself a more compatible mate. Yeah, I think you need to find yourself a more compatible mate. You and this guy don't add up sexually, and you may end up in a sexless marriage. The good thing about this is that you know this before you're married. You you've found this out before you got married. Yeah, he may never change his ways, and we as women always want the man to change. But it doesn't look like he's going to change. And you know he wants to show you. He's already told you that a great marriage can mean more than just sex, and that's not what you're looking for. That is not what you're looking for, So be clear. All the red flags are here. He's sixty three, you're fifty nine. You try to initiate sex daily at fifty nine he's sixty three. You said he acts a lot older. That's not gonna happen. Listen and stop pressuring him. Please stop pressuring him. No one wants to feel pressured. No one wants to be pressured. I think if you, if you get with this man, if you marry him, you'll be settling, and you shouldn't settle. Steve, Well, well, well, I need more than hugging and hunching. She's engaged to a sixty three ye old man and asks a lot older than he is. Okay, his thoughts on sex in life in general shock me, and I need some advice. Now. She fifty nine years old, she still enjoys sex and has tried to be patient with her man, and the man thinks because she tries to initiate sex daily, she's a freak. He likes to grind and do a lot of kissing. Okay, that's good, that's folk play. But we rarely go all the way folk with no payoff. It's what we're talking about now. I get you all worked up for no damn reason at all. I like to take care of him in other ways, if you know what I mean. No, we don't know what you mean. You're fifty nine, gonna type it? Yeah, bro Hill, Yeah, yeah, you know. I like to take care of him in other words, if you know what I mean. Okay, what what I like? Take care of him in other ways, if you know what I mean. But when it comes to me, he says that, he said, when it comes to me, he said, his mouth is designed to eat food and nothing else. He won't even kiss around me. Wow, she's pretty. Let's without saying it. She pretty much. I'm gonna have some thoughts you might want to get out of me, Lady, Dad, don't think you want my answers. Now, I'm in love with this man looking for a lifetime, but I'm going to need some sex often, he says the meaning things to me when I to try to get it be freaking. So I just stopped him from hunching on me and rubbing on me in the bedroom. I just lay that way through and go sleeps like hind of my business by myself. I'm letting y'all know I feel like cheating on this guy. See he was gonna Now this is what the letter really about. Y'all got all that was a set up for this. Hell, I'm letting you all know right now, I feel like cheating on this guy. This is what the letter is about. We can't help you. We ain't got no suggestions for you. We don't know what's wrong with him. Who the hell like the hunch all this hard kissing and hunching. Why I'm letting y'all know. I feel like she know this guy and I have my EX on stand by justin k this relationship is over. You got your X on standby? Why because he beat Jack Johnson? What because he the dude and all? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I'm just asking her what the problem is. Yeah, all right, when I come back, I'll tell you what the problem is. All right. We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up in twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry Letters subject I need more than hugging and hunching. That's coming up right after this. You're listening show, all right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's Strawberry letter. I need more than hugging and hunching is gonna get to it? I need more the hook in a hundred sixty three year old lady man to this man act older than he is. His thoughts on sex in life in general have shocked me. I need some advice to grind and do a lot of kissing, but we rarely, rarely go all the way. I like to take care of him in other words, if you know what I mean. When it comes to me, he says his mouth is designed to eat food and nothing else. He won't even kiss around it. Around it. Now, let's think about this. He got a man that won't have sex and go all the way, and you got a man that won't even kiss around it. Okay, what's wrong with it? Hell? Yeah, yeah, go ahead and see no no, no, no, no, no, no, it's real. You't hit it. This is real. Here's a man that like to kiss and hug and grind a lot. You take care of many other words. In other words, if you know what I mean. But when it comes to me, he says, his mouth is desily eat food or nothing. He won't even kiss around it. What's wrong with it? It was wrong with it. I'm not gonna because she Shelly, Shelly, you listen to me. I'm he says the many things to me when I try to be freaking No, I want you to hear what I said. See Shelly, I'm gonna tell you something. I just lie away for him and go sleep, sing, handle my bears myself. I'm let y'all know, I feel like cheating on this guy, and I have my ex on stand by justin kse you gotta ex Why is he your ex? Question? Yea, what is wrong? Why does this? Yeah? It doesn't say she keeps getting exes? No, it says she got X on stand by. Everybody shoo him X. Well, what's wrong with it? Question? Listen to me, sir. You listen to me, Listen to me, but I don't hear listen to me. I love you because you're not listening. I'm listening. I asked my man why he proposed me, and he said he loves me and he wants to show me that there's a lot more to a great marriage than just sex. Now listen to this line, Shirley. It's not that he can't perform because he is always ready. He just don't want to do the dude. So Shelly, this other stuff she doing to him that lets her know he's always ready, but he don't want to do the dude makes me ponder the question, what's wrong with it? Something wrong with it? You all are not gonna mart Yeah, her fault. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't say I don't see it. I'm not saying this her fault. I'm just asking what's wrong with it? I'm wrong with it? Couldn't be a problem, there's nothing. He's a man that stayed ready all the time, but he don't want to go all the way kissing around it. He's a man that won't even kiss around it. Yeah, what's wrong with now? I have some theories, albeit wrong theories, because just because you are all agreed doesn't make you all right. Okay, I'm not mad. I'm not mad when more than one is gathered together my name, come on? Come on? Oh yeah, a time a man, Shirley, yea something wrong with it? No? No, why Shirley? Why there's something wrong with it? Always no, he's always ready, so she don't want to go all the way and then what she wants something else. He won't even kiss around He's not into that. He's just not into that. You're not into that? He's just not into it. He don't want her to take her, He don't want her to do that. What's wrong with it? He likes to kiss and all that he's just not into that all. That's what clothes on hunching anyway. But he into the other thing, Shirley, he's into the other thing well, because most men are when it's being done to them. Right, we all have to agree with that. I'm not okay, thank you? Yeah? Oh lord Jesus, Lord Jesus. We have all you guys, We have all run up into world where rolls the front door s? What is that? Definitely?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you could trust him. Why did you go out there and get in that card? I can't get past that leaving at a church. Church. All right, billy, you're on your own, so says the cello. All right, this one is from New Mommy in Monroe, Louisiana. She says, I'm a twenty four year old mother of a two year old boy, and I'm engaged to a man that is not my child's dad. He's planning to adopt my son and he's already talking about how he's going to discipline him. My son is at the age where he says no to everything, and he thinks it's cute. My fiance says it needs to stop now, and he needs something better than the swat on his butt that I gave him. He says he needs a other strap on his butt. But that's a bit harsh for a two year old. How can I defend my baby from this? Well, I think that's a little harsh for two years, and I grew up getting spinks, but not at two. No, brother, you need to pull up and you need to talk to you, to you, to your future husband about it, because obviously he has no children. Anybody talking about striking a baby at two, I'm just gonna say, you need more. You need a strap on a two yeard? Are you kidding me? Now? You can traumatize this baby. You need to sit down and have a talk with him. I would suggest y'all probably need to go to some type of counseling about child weary, because that's so many other ways to raise children. Now, coming up at forty nine minutes after the hour, our last break of the day, and of course Steve Harvey will have some closing remarks right after this. You're listening to show. Here we are, last break of the day, last break of the day, with just one more thing, Steve, I'm glad for one, I think we all are that your closing remarks are back. Yeah, they're always inspirational. You always motivate us to do something. Really, I was just now I don't want to sound you know, but anyway, what I was just asking God, what could I do more? What could I do? And it was just put on my heart to share more, you know, start takes a moment out at the beginning and the close of the show and just try to encourage more people. You know, I've learned so much over the years. You know, I've had a tough goal of it, as many of you have. Mine, ain't my story animal richer are deeper than nobody else's. So I just try to share the information that I've actually learned because I've learned a lot. And one of the things that I've learned is about when to start. You know, whenever you come up with an idea or thought or move you want to make, or something comes from your imagination. The thing that I find that stops people oftentimes is when do I start? Now, here's the thing with starting. What people do is they delay the start by overthinking it. And if you overthink something, guess what will eventually and you overexplain it to other people Eventually the how it won't work, it's going to come up. So you have this fabulous idea that you've thought of, right, and then you share it with some people and he said, man, I'm gonna go do this, And you start talking it over and you start thinking it through, and you share it with more people. The more people you share with, and the more people and the more you think it through, you know what, you keep coming up with the mishaps, the things that can go wrong, and you end up delaying the start. The other the thing that happens is people try to line all they ducks up in the row before they start so they can just go on and start knocking them down. That's a mistake because that almost never ever happens. I have yet to see any deal I've ever done, any project I've started go just the way I thought it was gonna go. I have never seen that. I have yet to close a deal that just with smoothly, no wrinkles, no bumps, no nothing. I've never seen that. So when you're waiting to start and then that they say is hidden, and you're waiting to start to get your ducks lined up in the row, you're delaying the process. You know when the best time to start is right now, because right now alleviates procrastination. If you wait on the ducks to get lined up in the role and you're listening to the naysayers, procrastination has already set in and taken place, and oftentimes it takes hold. So what I found is when I come up with the idea, I start the process. Now, I start the process. Now. Look, man, you can easily do that. It's simple things. What stops people is you try to figure out all the way through. You have this goal that you got and you say, okay, I'm gonna do this, then if I do that, then if I do that, and then you get stuck because you go, well, what happens after that, because you've never been in that area before, you've never gone down that road, so the unknown strikes you. And then because you can't figure out what you do when you get to the unknown, you stop. So now you couldn't line up all your ducks in the role, so the process to success is delayed. Again. Stop doing that to yourself, and y'all start now. Do it now. What you have to do next will be shown to you. It'll your first step will lead you to the stats second step. Now, sometimes on your journey you make a bad turn. You gotta make a U turn and come back and cross over the other bridge instead of going that way. But until you take one step, you'll never know where the next turn is. If it's a fark in the road, if it's a U turn, if it's a been, if it's a valley, if it's a mountain. You gotta start today. Stop delaying at everybody. Whatever it is you want to do, start today. You may be surprised that you can actually get yourself further than you thought you could with nobody else's help. Now, in order to be successful, you're gonna need somebody's help. But to start, oftentimes you just need yourself, start the process. God will show you the way. He really will. He always has. I say this often to people. God will get you through. For everybody's listening right now, Name one thing that God hasn't gotten you through, and if He hasn't gotten you through it, he's currently pulling you through it right now. And you know how I know because you're listening to the radio. How you listening to the radio. It's because he's pulling you through something right now. He's gotten you through all the other stuff, but he's pulling you through right now. If you start the process, God will pull you through. But you'll never know until you start. Start, Start something great. Don't participate in no mess this year. Stay out of mess. You know what mess is. Mess looks like, it ain't right, it don't feel good, it don't sound good. It's mess. Stay out of mess this year. Remove yourself from messy situations so you can move in the right direction. Start this year, man, make it happen. Okay, start today. That's the best time.
