I have always heard about we have guardian angels around us, but what I know for sure is that we have angels that walk with us everyday. Of course we have close friends that gives us really good advice or we attend groups and we inspire each other, but I believe that God sends some people to talk directly to us when we are in the thick of things. I'm not trying to spook anyone here, I think these are cute stories and they will make you smile and hopefully "my angels" reading this will feel that they were actually apart of something even bigger than just giving a kind word or two.
One night around 9pm, week night, I was in my "Office" (Extra bedroom) and I was doing my actor's stuff; submitting for parts, correcting cover letters, looking through my Ross Reports...you actors know, the fun stuff we love to do! I got frustrated and overwhelmed. I had a conversation with my now Ex husband, a week prior, and he was asking me if I wanted to go back home to Houston, and I told him no, and that I was going to keep trying until something gives. Well a week later, something gave, my patience, LOL. So I'm in the office and I get tired and I was about to let out a big cry when the phone rang, and it made me stop. It was my aunt Sue. Now my aunt time is 11pm and normally she's sleep, but she called me. So she says she was just calling to see how I was doing, and I lied and said fine :) She says "OK", then she says "God wanted me to call you and tell you to just hold on he has so many wonderful blessings in store, and things you can't imagine, and everything is going to work out". So I'm looking around like "who's watching me"? I just said thank you and we got off of the phone. Not one tear dropped and the almost cry turned into a smile.
One time at church we were doing a fast and we were to ask God for direction in our life. Well I fasted but I felt I already knew God's direction for my life but still something wasn't clicking. That next week I got an email from my step mother Jeanie and it said: Hi Wanna, God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above WHAT YOU CAN ASK OR THINK. He will do it if you will only believe. Love, Jeanie. I copy and pasted her email. Now nobody knew I was fasting, so I took this as God speaking to me and it says it clear as day, if only I believe, and that was the missing ingredient with my faith in '05. Now I believe, I believe enough for everybody reading this blog, that God will do everything for you!
Out of the blue once my sister Tenisha emailed me in '03, yes I still have the email (I'll have to show her) and she told me to believe in what I was asking God for and that all things were possible. She also told me she was proud of me and that means a lot too, for a loved one to say that.
I think this is a good message for both sides because, have you ever had the hunch to call somebody and just say something encouraging? I think it's God and we shouldn't ignore those because someone may be really going through something and need to hear a word. Even if it's praying together over the phone, my friend Shawn Eaglin and I are prayer partners (even though we have fallen off this year, we are starting back in May). You can also be a blessing to someone else just by sharing a word you recieved in church. When I hear something wonderful, instead of just chatting on the phone with my mother I tell her what I learned and that can bless her day.
What I learned from these experiences is to BE an Angel to somebody. The best feeling in the world to me is to make somebody laugh, so I try to do that when someone is down. The bottom line is, if you're an Angel to somebody and they do the same, everybody would be angels eventually, then there would be world peace! Did I go too far on the last statement? Maybe so.
By the way, please be aware of random people who come up to you and say God told me to tell you this, and they start to look in the sky and get the "spirit"! My pastor calls those people "Spooky" not Spiritual!
