I’ve always paid attention to all manner of signs and witnesses that might be trying to send me a message or something.
A few weeks ago, while I was in Barnes n’ Noble, I noticed a magazine with Joel Osteen on the cover. I’ve never been a particular fan, but every once in a while, I watch a video or listen to one of his CD’s. The reason this magazine caught my attention was because of the bold title across the front.
Wait a minute, was he channeling me with my tag line about “BEST Life Now?”
“Just kidding, he’s only been using it for the last 5 or so years, maybe more, but I never knew that until I went to the event.”
A couple of days later my daughter called to ask me if I might be interested in attending a Joel Osteen event in Wash, DC because she had an opportunity to secure some tickets. I almost couldn’t believe it. Of course I said yes, but I was taken back a little about the coincidence.
Once Denise got the tickets she called me again to say that Joel’s mother was a cancer survivor and would be at the event. WOW!
Sometimes I believe in the randomness of life and then things happen to indicate the exact opposite.
Here I was attending a Joel Osteen event and the theme of the day was the tag line for my Blog, and I’ve been using it for almost 2 years now. I realize that term has been used quite a bit in various forms by many people, however this seemed like a sign to me that I should definitely attend.
Well even though I’m not a big fan of large crowd events, we went and it was pretty good. I definitely did enjoy him, actually his whole family. It was very inspirational. His mother is a cancer survivor and she spoke of her journey. She’s in her eighties and she was a young mother when she was originally diagnosed. What a story.
The biggest thing I could relate to was the faith. That deep faith of never letting yourself get negative. I can attest to how it makes such a difference.
It’s tough because you want to cave in and just sit in a corner and cry, but then you have get up and FIGHT! You have to BELIEVE in the best outcome possible.
BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!
