           Does giving birth always have to be physical labor?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

           The problem is I wrote a check to myself for $1,000,000 dated 6/28/25 and I have less than $1000 in my possession right now. How in the hell am I going to be able to pull this off in less than a year ? Let me show you! These are basic instructions before leaving earth! 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           They say only women can get pregnant and give birth but what if I told you that giving birth to something does not always equate to physical conception and ejection of a  life form. What would you say in response! Put in the comments below what you think I mean and whether or not you're pregnant with an idea or an actual baby! Either way congratulations! Anyway, I’m pregnant with an idea and you all are going to help me give birth to it! I’m declaring to the cosmos, petitioning the head Honcho himself, in the next 9 months my family and I are going to birth a brand and business that redefines Qualité service. Provided that we fulfill that service, rest millions if not billions of dollars waiting to be released and manifest from our imagination into reality! How can someone, like myself, black, husband of 3 going on four children, living in an apartment with his wife and kids, working 6-2 in a factory, barely making ends meet even think that it would be possible to pull off such a great feat? I’ll tell you how! Faith! Believe it or not, the Bible is valid to me! There’s a scripture in the good book: this entire journey will be built upon as the foundation for which anyone who applies these methods to their own lives will also succeed! I’m going to research, test, and expound on this verse found in Hebrews 11:1! The verse reads as follows, “Now, faith is the certainty of things hoped for, a proof of things not seen.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬ What does that mean Keith?  Make this make sense! Well,  In Hebrews 11:1, we learn that faith is about having confidence in things we hope for, even if we can’t see them. For example, think about how a child trusts that their parents will take care of them, even if they don’t always understand how it will happen. Faith works in a similar way. It’s the belief that what we hope for will come true, and it gives us proof of what’s real, even though we can’t physically see it. This verse reminds us that faith is about trust and certainty, 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           not always needing visible evidence to believe. Now I choose this example in particular to then play devil's advocate and justify why you may lack faith! Just like I expressed in the example, a child trusts that their parents will take care of them, even if they don’t always understand how it will happen. For many that trust was broken, and a lot of us have been traumatized by our childhood experiences with lack of care in our parents! 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           That’s right. For some of us, the idea of trust was shattered early on. Maybe your parents didn’t provide the care or support you needed. Maybe they weren’t there when you needed them the most, and that leaves a scar. It can make you doubt not only them, but the whole idea of trusting anyone or anything, including God or yourself. You might be thinking, “How can I believe in something I can’t see when I couldn’t even trust the people I could see?”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           This is where forgiveness comes in. The trauma we experienced as children can follow us for the rest of our lives if we let it. We end up carrying this invisible weight that shapes how we see the world and ourselves. It’s easy to let that pain turn into doubt, and that doubt can hold us back from birthing the ideas, dreams, or goals that God has placed inside of us. But in order to move forward, in order to build faith and truly embrace the blessings that are meant for us, we have to forgive. We have to release the grip that our trauma has on us.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Forgiving those who have hurt us doesn’t mean forgetting what they did. It doesn’t mean pretending everything is fine. It means choosing to free ourselves from the pain they caused, so we can open our hearts to what’s possible. When we hold onto bitterness, we close off the flow of creativity and inspiration. But when we forgive, we make space for something new to grow within us.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Now  this brings us back to the idea of being pregnant—not just with a baby, but with an idea, a purpose, a vision. Whether it’s starting a business, writing a book, becoming an artist, or simply becoming the best version of yourself, these are all forms of pregnancy. God plants these seeds inside of us. They’re unique, they’re powerful, and they require a process. Just like a baby takes nine months to grow and develop, our ideas need time to form, and they need us to nurture them.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           But let me be clear: just as pregnancy requires faith that in due time, a baby will be born, birthing an idea requires faith too. Faith that, even when you can’t see the progress every day, things are growing. Faith that, even when it gets uncomfortable, it’s part of the process. And faith that, just because someone told you it wasn’t possible or because life hasn’t always been kind to you, it doesn’t mean you’re not capable of greatness. You are!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           In this season, I’m pregnant with an idea—a business and brand that will change the game when it comes to service and quality. I know it won’t be easy, but I believe in it because I believe in the One who gave it to me. And just like a mother prepares for the arrival of her baby, I’m preparing to bring this idea into the world.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           So, I challenge you to ask yourself: What are you pregnant with? What has God placed inside of you that’s waiting to be born? Is it a book? A business? A new version of yourself that you’ve been holding back on? Whatever it is, believe that it’s possible. Have faith in the unseen, and trust that if you nurture that idea, if you forgive your past, and if you move forward with faith, you will see the fruit of your labor.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           And if you need help along the way, that’s okay too. We all do. Sometimes the birthing process requires a community, people to help guide and support you. That’s why I’m here, and that’s why I’m extending this offer: If you’re ready to nurture the idea or dream inside of you, and you want help bringing it into reality, hit the link in my bio and let’s talk. Let me help you navigate your journey, just like I’m navigating mine.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
           Remember, the ideas you’re given by God are unique. They’re real. They need time to develop, but with faith and action, they will be born. Just like I’m declaring my own success, I believe that you can declare yours too. And together, we’ll give birth to something amazing. ✨
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           So by now you are probably asking, you did what and in how long?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

           I remember the exact moment I wrote these words. I was sitting on the couch at my in-law’s house after we had just moved from Columbus, Ohio, to Richland County, Bellville. It was a place I never thought I would end up. My marriage was going through a tough time, but I still had hope. On October 15, 2021, I found a little black journal in Alexander’s old room and wrote this: “Lord, I want to start a business and give 33% of the money to church, 33% to charity, and keep 33% for my family. I want to call the business #xheifqualité and represent the highest standard. I want the business to thrive in every industry and leave a legacy pointing back to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           A year later, I felt inspired to write again: “Plans change, and so do instructions. Lord, I pray tonight for sound instructions from the Holy Spirit. Guide my steps and help me walk in the word of Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           In 2024, we bought a trailer, truck, sign, blender, and kitchen appliances. Now, we are getting ready to get a license and register our milkshake and smoothie truck. We will serve Richland County with the best sweets and healthy treats the town has ever seen!

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Honestly, I am just being open and obedient to the Holy Spirit and my intuition. This can be hard with so much noise from social media, world news, and radio. You have to listen to the small, quiet voice that guides you.

           “I will stand upon my watch, and set myself upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am corrected. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it delay, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.”

           The title speaks for itself, but allow me to explain why today will be a turning point for those searching for answers! My name is Keith Lamont Parker-Emerson Jr., also known as Xheifxrated (pronounced “chief”), an alternate identity I’ve developed in this 3D universal construct we all believe in.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           It might sound unrealistic, but my intention is to embark on a spiritual journey with you, exploring the natural and supernatural in a sublime way. Take my word with a grain of salt; do your own research and see for yourself. Please, I’m just the messenger. Bitch, don’t kill my vibe!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           To be honest, I’ve had a hard time putting the pieces of the puzzle together until this year. Everything started to make sense once I realized that the answers I was looking for were not external, but deep within the subconscious mind, interwoven within the fabric of the universal consciousness spoken into existence by the one and true creator—the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the start and the finish, the left and the right, the up and the down, the yin and the yang, the dark and the light, the white and the black, the day and the night.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Some refer to this entity as Source, others call It God. Some specify a gender, while others see it as a unibody. Regardless, it is my personal belief to understand it as “I AM,” all things. The Bible suggests that with Christ ascending after his life, death, and resurrection as a representation of God in the flesh, He sent the Holy Spirit to reveal all things to us. If the kingdom of heaven lies within us, then the answers to every question we have are within us. I could simply say the answers are within you, but that’s not poetic at all!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We are in the midst of the biggest identity crisis of all time, and everyone wants to know who they are and what we are doing here. Christians will tell you to wait on the Lord. The new age folks will sing “I’ve got the power” and quote that old 1990 song by Snap! Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Israelites—all point to one God, one source of supply, the creator of all things, the universal mind and consciousness of the collective. We must set aside our differences and unite.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           I may have gone down the rabbit hole further than I intended, but this is about the highest purpose. Deep within the conscious mind lies the subconscious. Sleep, but awake within my dreams, I sit in the cafeteria of my consciousness, consuming what seems to be a good meal, only to be scolded by my subconscious, self-conscious guide. He said “If I desire to be lean, trim, and fit, cut the fat, snacks, and bullshit lies you tell us when you are quick to have our partner bake some delicious dessert with icing unintentionally every weekend.” These words resounded like a gong being banged over and over again, as I woke from my sleep, preparing for the day ahead of me.

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Watch me dance to a new beat, and oh yeah, would you be my partner?
          &#xD;
