I think I did, but I didn't know him and I didn't know. I didn't understand that he was actually like listening to me and right there and right here in my heart. And that it was someone that I didn't have to go through someone else to get to.
that was the other thing about la and that this world that we're kind of entrenched in that i think messed me up i kept thinking there needed to be this intermediary to get me to god like okay i'd go to like a medical intuitive or an intuitive or a psychic or a reiki person they connect me and i was so desperate for it that i'd go all the time like i want that i want to understand how to reach
you know, my Creator, and you know how to do it for me, so you do it. And I'd ask people to pray for me for things and like, because I had so much fear. And that's where the aloneness felt like.
Being alone, like being that no one would be there when I went to ask that no one would hear me like, do you feel loved by God? Do you feel a connection?
Yeah, me too.
Yeah.
It needs to be in service is fundamental now in anything I do. I am exactly the same Lewis. Same. We are so similar in our journeys. I needed to achieve more and more and more. And we are both very driven people and we have achieved a lot and we have both
been through the school of greatness, and we have achieved great things and all of your guests have and probably most of your listeners do like, but what we've found is that there is an emptiness in it. Right? Unless it is of service, unless you're being asked to be used, unless like you are striving is for a bigger purpose.
You're like, did neighbors call?
I did.
Yeah, crying thinking about it because it was so powerful. I mean, it was so powerful and it shifted me so much and just, I mean, for me, God talks to me through songs and songwriting. So this song that came out of me, it's one of my favorite songs I've ever written. And the fact that I wrote it in 20 minutes was very obvious that it wasn't me writing it. Wow. So it came through you quickly.
It came through me very quickly. It was almost like I was chasing it and I was like, slow down, slow down, slow down. I'm trying, I'm slow down. I kept saying, slow down.
Like the words were coming. Like I was like, stop, stop, stop. And my hands couldn't write fast enough. And I was like, please, please slow down. I kept saying out loud to anyone, slow down. And it just was coming and coming. And I was like, oh my God, here's the verse. Okay, get back to the piano. Oh my God. And it felt like...
It was just wild. And I had been in so much pain and so much suffering. You created peace.
It felt like a taste of freedom. Now it did not last.
It's too heavy. I'm exhausted. The song happened. It was incredible. I woke my husband up. I shook him. I was like, come downstairs. I think he had just got back from the hospital. He was exhausted. He was like, Oh, no, like exhausted. Like, please don't make me wake up to hear a song of yours. Because if I don't like this song right now, I am so screwed.
Like he's like, I better like this song because you are so not okay right now. And I was like, No, no, Kevin, it's it's good. And I played it for him with tears in my eyes.
No, no, no. I just, come on. I did not.
No, I did. But like I had, I did. I captured it. I actually have the recording of me. The original? Yeah. Me crying through it. And I'm like, I go in one part, I go, oh, that's good. And I'm like, wow. No way. And then I go, oh, that's good. Yeah, you hear me. And then I throw the pen down. You can hear it all.
But I wake him up and I bring him down and I sing it for him and his jaw is on the floor and he's like, what? What? And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I think God's using me. I think that there's a reason that I'm... I think there's a reason I'm suffering so much right now. Wow. But I still had to suffer for two more years. So, like, it wasn't all great.
