It seems that people who are dear to me are going through tough times. Really tough. Separation, divorce, and employment cuts. When I say to them it will get better I can feel their doubt. What else can I do to help them?? I visualize a better outcome. Then I pray, meditate, and send them angels. God hears my prayers. Sometimes, I don't like the answer I get but I know God's plan is better than my own. When I feel like my hands are tied trying to help someone, I go back and remember all the things that have happened in my favor. Especially my favorite story, so far.
A few years ago, I saw my best friend Lety go through a depressing break up from her cheating ex-husband who left her as a single mother raising a daughter. To me, at that time she felt like a loss cause going down hill and I couldn't snap her out of her depression. She started hanging out with the wrong crowd partying to take the pain away.
I remember praying for her over and over, even going into deep meditative prayer, and then I started praying the rosary. With each prayer and bead, I would affirm, feel, and believe God was sending someone special to her. I prayed for a kind, attractive, faithful, Catholic gentleman to come into her life to heal her broken heart. After my prayers, I felt confident and assured. The feeling was loving and joyful, it was really awesome experience.
So then days later, my sister is craving Chinese and says she will treat me lunch and give me money she owed me if I pick her up, so I invited Lety to come along. After lunch, my sister gives me a lotto ticket to cash in and says here is the money I owe you. Ugh! God works in mysteries ways. Out of annoyance I stopped at the nearest convienient store by my old house to cash in the ticket, and that's where it happened.
When I'm walking out the store my sis and Lety are signaling me to hurry and get into the car. Lety is turning all red cause the guy parked in the car a couple spaces over is checking her out. She and my sister told me to hall ass outta there and I'm all confused. So as the responsible driver, I just gun it. We head to my sister's place wondering if he is going to follow. Does he follow us? Yes, until he until he gets a red light. The girls are explaining to me while I'm speeding away that Lety whistled and/or hollered at him in a "you look good" kinda way. So thats why he was giving her the stare down probably wondering if she was the one trying to holla at him. When we reached my sister's house we thought we had lost him. So after all the laughter I drop sis off and now I'm on my way to drop off my Lety.
Long story longer, we see mystery man drive right by us heading north as we are heading south. When I finally get to Lety's house she is all excited, giggly, and red to the face. I told her to get into her mom's car and look to see if he is still out there looking for her. She doubts me but is too jumpy to stay home and just chill. After a quick goodbye, I go home and tell my husband how crazy Lety is hollerin at strangers. Maybe an hour later or so, Lety calls me and tells me her mom asked her to run an errand. Taking advantage of the situation she goes for a cruise to the same street she last saw mystery man and there he was, cruising the street searching for her.
Seven wonderful years later, he is a wonderful father to her daughter and together they have 2 kids, as well as a family dog (that looks like a rat), and a new beautiful home.
Thank you Lety for saying yes that day to lunch. Thank you sis, for being whiny about your cravings, and troubling me to cash that lotto ticket. Thank you God for that kind, faithful, attractive Catholic gentleman you put in our path that day! It was divine intervention.
To my dear friends going through hardships, I am praying for you. I am wishing you the best and I am sending you angels. Are you open to receiving? Are you listening? Are you taking action to the guidance God is giving you? God will always help you and support you. Your part of the lesson is learning to accept help, take action, and move forward. Keep ya head up!
