1
00:00:12,481 --> 00:00:15,968
You might not know what your gift is, but everybody has a gift.

2
00:00:15,968 --> 00:00:17,512
All of us have a gift

3
00:00:17,512 --> 00:00:19,117
and I believe it's our responsibility

4
00:00:19,117 --> 00:00:20,969
to share that gift with people.

5
00:00:20,969 --> 00:00:22,821
That is our purpose. That is my purpose.

6
00:00:22,821 --> 00:00:24,364
My parents taught me that.

7
00:00:24,364 --> 00:00:27,481
And I truly enjoy the work I do, but my calling,

8
00:00:27,481 --> 00:00:31,275
my purpose and my gift is to minister through music to people

9
00:00:31,275 --> 00:00:34,759
and that's what I like to do when I'm off work.

10
00:00:34,759 --> 00:00:35,470

11
00:00:35,470 --> 00:00:38,798
[Music]

12
00:00:38,798 --> 00:00:41,515

13
00:00:41,515 --> 00:00:44,231
In order to be able to do your job effectively,

14
00:00:44,231 --> 00:00:46,114
I think you have to have outlets.

15
00:00:46,114 --> 00:00:48,089
I think you have to have other avenues.

16
00:00:48,089 --> 00:00:50,465
It makes working worthwhile.

17
00:00:50,465 --> 00:00:52,779
If you go to work everyday, you go home,

18
00:00:52,779 --> 00:00:55,957
you might watch a little TV, you eat and go to bed.

19
00:00:55,957 --> 00:00:59,530
That's not living. That's not life.

20
00:00:59,530 --> 00:00:59,781

21
00:00:59,781 --> 00:01:01,819
All day long I'm preparing myself.

22
00:01:01,819 --> 00:01:02,582
My mind has been focused,

23
00:01:02,582 --> 00:01:05,829
I listen to my music, put my headset on while I'm tying at the computer.

24
00:01:05,829 --> 00:01:08,206
And my mind is on, when I leave here,

25
00:01:08,206 --> 00:01:09,695
I'm going to go out and encourage someone else.

26
00:01:09,695 --> 00:01:11,824
I'm going to go out and meet these people

27
00:01:11,824 --> 00:01:13,831
who don't get a chance to go out.

28
00:01:13,831 --> 00:01:15,806
Go and visit them and just try to encourage them,

29
00:01:15,806 --> 00:01:19,474
especially during this time of year.

30
00:01:19,474 --> 00:01:21,575

31
00:01:21,575 --> 00:01:23,087
We're going to have a good time.

32
00:01:23,087 --> 00:01:24,600
We'll sing a little bit of Christmas stuff

33
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,668
and then I'll do a little bit of my stuff

34
00:01:26,668 --> 00:01:31,075
and try to get them to, encourage them just to clap.

35
00:01:31,075 --> 00:01:32,713

36
00:01:32,713 --> 00:01:36,323
Sometime I just look for a smile, that's all I need, is a smile.

37
00:01:36,323 --> 00:01:40,210
After a day of working at our job, the CBP, you need an outlet.

38
00:01:40,210 --> 00:01:41,815
You have to have something.

39
00:01:41,815 --> 00:01:44,006
I would encourage everyone to find something

40
00:01:44,006 --> 00:01:48,259
that you enjoy and do it and give back.

41
00:01:48,259 --> 00:01:49,773

42
00:01:49,773 --> 00:01:52,027
Thank you for blessing all of us.

43
00:01:52,027 --> 00:01:54,152
Thank you.

44
00:01:54,152 --> 00:01:54,925

45
00:01:54,925 --> 00:01:55,172

46
00:01:55,172 --> 00:01:55,451
