In this episode, my best friend and biz bestie Steena Marie got a kick out of my "wasband's" response to getting punched in the eye when I worked as a Special Ed. teacher in a psychiatric day treatment center. We also chatted about fond memories from childhood that as adults we don't always bring up. It's very cathartic to write a memoir, and I shared my response to stirring up all of that energy. Steena and I also shared stories about freaking out and letting go.

And despite some of the things that can happen in our lives, there's purpose and we cannot give up hope in the midst of the storms that we're going through. And so we are going to talk about that a little bit today and I'm going to share about Justine on who she is before we get started on talking about hope.

You are a superstar for Christ Justyna you are also a survivor honey. And today's story is about hope. It's a story of survival. And Justina it's your heartbeat of survival. Many of us can relate ladies to tragedies in our lives, and how sometimes our hope is squashed in those tragedies. But we don't have hope. If we don't have hope we don't have anything right. Nothing to hold on to. So just Steena share with us a little bit about your story and how your hope was squashed. Justina Page I'll be glad to share. Kimberly, first of all, I came to the Lord on the college campus, met my husband, who was the Bible study teacher, he became my friend. He became my teacher. He asked me to marry him. And then we moved to Houston, Texas, and we started getting busy. We had six months. Life was good. I was over the children's ministry. He was a deacon in the church. And I remember going to a big window in my home because everyone said I was such a woman of faith. And I asked God a question and I will like, Lord, if something happened in my life, would I be able to stand? And I wanted to know what I was made up. I advise, don't ask God, those kinds of questions. Just believe you can do that. Anyway. I asked that question. It was two weeks later, I woke up to explosions. TVs, Poppins, complete darkness, not the stuff you hear in Hollywood see on TV in Hollywood, you can't see a thing in the heat. My skin just melting off of me. And my husband just threw me out just a natural reaction. And my boys were homeschooled. So they knew to go to the window. We had the point inside the house, we had the point outside of the house. Anyway, the whole house in full flourishing, I tried to go back in and save the children. And I could not I got trapped, the longest story. And up it was I personally was burned over 55% of my body. My other twin son was burned severely. We lost amis, tragically at the very end, and we lost everything we had. Kimberly Hobbs Oh, my goodness, I can't even imagine. I mean, your whole house went up in flames. And you watched it. And tragically, you lost your son through that time. I just can't imagine. So. At that moment, your hope was shattered. You saw everything disappear before your eyes, not to mention the pain and trauma that you are in. You are in. That's right. When we feel hopeless, ladies, God, God's word tells us why. Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God, I will praise him again, my Savior and my god, Psalm 4211. Justina God stepped in, he stepped inside of your life at that time. And you told me on our conversations, before that, you started to learn that it wasn't about you. through all that pain, which is understandable, your focus is on all of your grief, all of what you're going through. That's all you can see. And I'm sure there's ladies out there that are real relating to this right now. Because when you're going through something so tragic, and I can't even I can't even fathom what the loss of your son the pain on your body, the pain of your children that you're taking care of. Because of the burns. You're focused on you. But you told me you learned something through that time, which was life revolved around God's world, and not your will. And it all hinges on his will for our lives. Just you know what gave you hope and brought you from pain to that point, because it's kind of difficult to even understand or wrap your head around how you can even get from saying that life doesn't revolve around you. Can you share with us about that? Justina Page Absolutely. I'll never forget it. I was in a car in front of my best friend's house for my first fellowship. After a year of recovery. I saw women walking in with their little children, who happened to be at the age where I lost my son, Amos went into a complete temper tantrum with God, why me? Why me? Oh, God, why me? Why they have their children. Why don't I have mine? And I'll never forget what he spoke to me. And he told me this, this is not about you. And I was like, Well, it sure involved a lot of me for it not to be about me. Could you please expand on that, please? And he let me know that. We mistakenly feel like Jesus revolves around on nothing. But it doesn't work that way. We revolve around and all things work together for good, ugly things, bad things, tragic things. He's working them for our booth in his for his glory. And the one thing that I learned that is powerful, and it guides me to this day, is that instead of asking God, why He gave me a better question to ask, and that's what now because even if you know why, it's not going to change a thing, but if you know what now you can make a step out of grief, out of disturbance, and you can step toward that hope in that peace that you so need Kimberly Hobbs Thats right. And that's maybe that's you ladies maybe right now you're going through something so tragic that you can't even talk about it. But what will get you through that? And we're gonna go into that a little bit right now because on God's Word says, show me the right path Oh Lord, point out the road for me to follow, lead me by your truth and teach me for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you that Psalm 25, four through five ladies, we need to put our hope in God, we can't look around us and think that the world is going to solve our problems where we are. We need to look to God who gives us the hope that we need to sustain us to get us through. So let's talk right now about the fruit of hope. Justyna you said to me in our conversations, you were talking about this fruit of hope, Justina recovered hope, ladies, so much can be produced from a spirit of hope. All we need is just that glimmer of hope. And it gives us something to hold on to right? So just can you be transparent with the ladies about what you did in your life from the ashes of tragedy to where he has brought you now. And hopefully you can bring some of these other ladies that are listening. That mean may need some help at this moment? Justina Page Sure. First of all I want to start off with hope is the heartbeat of survival. When any medical emergency happens, if you call the paramedics, the first thing they're going to do is check for a pulse. And we have to have some kind of spiritual pulse. They don't you when the medic show up, it doesn't mean that you're totally well. They just want to make sure you're alive. Or check out challenge is to keep our communication lines open with God to not shut down to not and I did that I got depressed. I got discouraged. I got even angry. But Kimberly Hobbs Rightfully so, you went through a lot. Oh my goodness. Justina Page Yeah. But, um unrightfully because God's character doesn't change with our tragedies. He's the same today. Yesterday, it'll be the same tomorrow. He's still a Good Good Father, even when we're having a tragic bad day. So we just need a pulse. We just need an ember of hope, just a flicker, something to hold on to anything you can grab on, that you know about your God. Hold on to that. And then you'll get better and better and better and better. Kimberly Hobbs Amen. Look for that glimmer of hope, ladies, and you can find it and you could find it. In the Lord Jesus Christ. You could find it in His Word, you know, turn to his word when you are hurting so bad and nothing around you seems to be satisfying your soul. That hope will come when you open up God's word and let that pour into your life. I love all the time to just share scripture and the place you're in now Justina didn't just happen, you didn't go from I mean, I'm I'm looking at your arms and the burns. Visually ladies, if you can see Justine is covered with scarring from burns. And where you were then in all of that time and pain and suffering, we can't even imagine. But God brought you to a place it didn't just happened. But you were reassured that eternity is real through Jesus Christ, right? That's right. It didn't just poof you know, it happened and all of a sudden, oh, God is here and he's gonna solve all my problems. He brought you to a place the Bible says, Listen, ladies, this is a great verse. When you're in the midst of pain and you can't think about anything else except dwell on your pain, you don't have hope. You have nothing and you're just wallowing in that pity and that depression that you get into this is what the Bible says. Think clearly. Exercise self control. Look forward to the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world First Peter 113. Ladies there is hope in Jesus Christ there is hope he gives us something to hold on to and God gave gave you hope, just Steena. And now you're serving Him. This is years later, as you have moved through all of the pain that you had to deal with day after day after day, month after month, year after year, he moved you to a place that he is now using you to reveal hope to the world. You're the author of 18 books, the big one circle of fire that you have written has impacted lives because of its content. But God gave you something to hold on to. He gave you that hope. He knew that he was going to use this story. And you were going to write about it and share with the world that glimmer of hope that he gave you. So can you talk about these books that you're writing and circle of fear? Or of circle of fire? Yes, sure. Justina Page And I want to say first that God cares. He's touched with the feeling of our infirmities, he is our comfort. And then in Ecclesiastes, this says God makes everything beautiful in his time. And in time, God walked me right up to the book. Personally, I wasn't thinking about writing books, I had started a nonprofit, that was my work, I was excited, I was going all over the states, trying to prevent tragedies like mine, and then on the backside, help those who experienced the tragedies. But people begin to say you need to share your wisdom. I'm like, I don't have time to share my wisdom. There's like, well, if you write the book, the proceeds can go to your nonprofit. And guess what, Kim? I found time, I'm like, That's a great idea. And so I wrote that first book. And I think the reason why the book did well, first of all, it was transparent. And it was honest, I didn't just share my glory side of the story. I shared the trouble, and just showed how God can get you through it. And after that books kept coming, of course, I've always written but it was a season to publish. So that's what transpired with the books. Kimberly Hobbs Wow, so then you just started writing for the Lord. And he used you in such a powerful way, ladies, as the Bible said that God is working in you giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him. I love sharing this verse Philippians 213, God is working in all of us, right? And he started working in Justina she didn't think she was a writer. She was like, why me God, you know, but he gave her that desire and that power to do what pleases him just like that scripture says Philippians 213. And ladies, he could do the same for you. And now she is able to use what the devil meant for harm. And that tragic fire. God, as she said, in her scripture that she uses, had works everything together for good for those who love him and are called according to His purpose, right? We know Justine, that he called you, with your life, and we are so grateful. And now you speak all over, you share your story. And we are so thankful that you decided to come on today and share your story with us, ladies, it's our hope that by listening that God touches your heart two, we all just, you know, we need those glimmers of hope, when we have tragedy or storms that hit our life. And sometimes it's hard to come out of that world that we get stuck in, when we can get depressed or when we are, you know, just weary from the storm that has hit us. And I just want to encourage you that we have many tools that women were leaders because we want to encourage you. We want to encourage you in your walk with Jesus, to look up to look to His scriptures follow after Him because that's where your hope lies. Your hope lies in Jesus Christ. One of the books that we had put out a few years ago by women world leaders, it's tears to triumph. It's releasing pain to receive God's restoration. Ladies, there are so many stories of hope in here. This is an amazing tool that you can use to give you some glimmers of hope through other women's stories of sharing what they have overcome tears to triumph. It's available through our website at women world leaders.com And you can also get it on Amazon this book I went to number one best seller and also international best seller so we are So grateful for the lives that it's impacting. And ladies, I also want to share about our voice of Truth magazine. This magazine comes out quarterly now. It's beautiful. It's done with excellence. There are authors, writers from all over the world that God has gathered together and put into one magazine with their writings. And these writings are inspirational, they do give you hope.

Just something from your heart to encourage them think about the lady right now that is tuned in that is going through a horrific tragedy in her life right now. Can you give her that hope to cling to? Justina Page Absolutely. So here's the thing. We mistakenly think that bad things happen to bad people, and only good things will happen to good people and that we're good. Well, here's the thing. It's a thing called life. And it just happens. And what our challenge is, is to deal with it with our Lord and Savior. As it happens. He's for us. He's with us. He never leaves us. And he knows what he's doing. trust his character. Don't worry about a situation. Don't let the enemy make your situation. The Lord Jesus is Lord. Kimberly Hobbs Amen. Jesus is Lord. Thank you so much and Justina again, we are just so, so grateful to have you with us maybe share a little bit about your movie that they can tune into. I thought that was so interesting. And Justine is an actress and share a little bit about that. Justina Page Absolutely. Sure, so there's a movie that my first movie that was in, it's called we are stronger. It was through reflective media production. And it is a faith based film that deals with PTSD and hope that's in Christ. So how you can find hope. And it was any PTSD, not just military, but it was the story of a bit that it came home and how it affected his family and all. It's powerful. You can find it on Pure Flix, you can find it on Amazon Prime. You can also now find it on YouTube. And it got picked up about by 26. Array big countries. Yes, wow is translated over there. So we thought that was just the power of God, God just having to wait in that area, because the message is about Jesus. So on April 30, we are super excited.

The energy of stepping into our sexual power is about waking ourselves up. Allowing sexual energy to move through our bodies allows us to own our power. Intimate touch isn't erotic and inappropriate. Nursing a baby is a great example of expressing our sexuality. It's a clear energy of what brings us pleasure. Penetration and reception is part of clear communication. Asking permission and sharing where we stand, gives everyone freedom of choice. Author Steena Marie points out how we aren't taking responsibility for our choices.

This is the episode where Steena Marie and I talk about the importance of building a relationship with people, before having a sales conversation. Steena shares great tips on becoming memorable as well as likeable in the minds of others. Have you ever been turned off by someone who reaches out to connect, for example on LinkedIn? As soon as you connect they send you a blurb that gives their title and what they sell. Marketing is no longer about sales it's about being of service, it's about Relationship Marketing. It's not what you sell, it's WHO you sell that matters. For centuries retailers sold what the customer ‘needed' like food, coats, livestock, and so on. Today, most of us can buy what we want in 20 colors so the retailer must change their occasional customers into friends, fans, and most importantly referral sources in order for their business to not only survive but thrive. Authentic Relationship Marketing is about letting people know who you are, your authentic story, and your unique message. They want to know what you stand for... your POV (Point of View). I'm sure you'll enjoy this episode as well.

Terry Earthwind Nichols and I had been in 33 year starter marriages before we came together... I See You Standing There In The Light of My Soul I see you, I see you there, I see you there standing in the light of my Soul. I see your eyes watching me as I manage composure. I see your lips pursed for my kiss. I see your fingers reaching out across your leg as if to touch me. I see your breath first hasten, then going faster… going faster. Can you be the one? Can you really be the one? Can I touch your brow with hands frozen in anxiety? Can there really be a one? Can she be mine? Can there be a love so complete that I am finally a man? Be true my heart for I am but mortal and cannot see through the silkiness of her heart into the Soul for which I long to be. Her eyes are magical for they bring me to her without even a glance.

We live in a world where women are becoming more disillusioned with marriage and that sort of picture perfect thing. The pure statistics of marriage is that 60% of marriages will end in divorce. So you have a decent chance that that's going to end up being you or it's going to end up being someone really close to you. Learning how to support each other through all of the complexities of divorce, like having kids with an Ex then moving into a new relationship and building the new relationship, these are things that our mothers never had to do if they never went through a divorced. We can't really go to them and ask them how they did it or get the support we really need. That's been the key in my relationship with Steena Marie. She had someone who had walked that path. When she came to me in struggle, I didn't just say "get a divorce". I helped her dig deeper because I know the importance of doing the deeper work. Our emotions aren't right or wrong and neither are our choices. It's important to walk at the level of your Soul so that your choices are in alignment with you. This will allow you to feel empowered in your emotions, rather than feeling like your emotions are running the show.

In this episode Steena Marie and I talked about the abuse of resentment. She referred to a journal letter I had written to my first husband at a marriage retreat. Here's the passage she read from my memoir. "We feel the abuse of your resentment for meeting others needs, before your own." Steena thought that was powerful and mentioned how it goes both ways. Like, if you aren't meeting your own needs, you're gonna resent other people, and they're gonna feel it. Her conclusion was please, go meet your own needs. Say what you need and go get it because people don't want your resentment. Then she read a little bit more from that letter, "I love to meet your needs, yet I often feel frustrated because I don't always know what they are. When you open that door just a crack, I cling to what little pieces of information I can get. I at least try to meet your needs using my creativity, which sadly enough probably doesn't meet your needs at all. I feel we get caught in a vicious cycle of not meeting each other's needs or feeling we have and then being shocked that we haven't." Steena mentioned that she felt what I had written was spot on, and how it highlighted the misery and disillusionment of the cycle and feeling of trying everything you can imagine in order to make someone else happy. She also mentioned how it doesn't work if the communication isn't there.

In this episode, Steena Marie and I discuss the importance of saving things you have written in the past. You never again feel the way you did when you wrote them. So when you're in it, it feels like a bleeding heart. When you look back you see how hopeful you were, the struggle between wanting to be optimistic and wanting to see the best in everyone while attempting to make the most of your situation. Once we get to 'enough is enough, and I'm done being optimistic about this situation or ef this I'm done' we can look back and see how much effort we put into a relationship in order to make it right. We concluded that we are both complex women, and yet simple things give us great joy. Steena really enjoyed this particular line from my memoir: "I may be a complicated person, but I really want very simple things."

Steena Marie just finished reading my memoir, my 20th book that was published in 2020. She only cried 5 times while reading the book. Steena is my biz bestie and best friend. We talk 2-3 times a day. Some days she talks to me more than her own partner. As she was reading, Steena was actually finding stories she didn't know about me. She saw similarities between both of our first marriages and how we needed to do so much processing before bringing things to our partners, rather than processing with them. We were constantly doing our best, not to trigger our spouses.
