August 2010, Ask and you shall receive!

<< LAST MONTH'S BLOG

We've all heard the popular saying, "Ask and you shall receive." However, how and when you'll receive is not up to you but if you trust that it will happen for the highest good of yourself and others, then you'll be able to embrace what comes to you when it does. One late evening in the summer, my dear friend Laura sent me a message that she and her fiancée had been in a horrible car accident and that he'd been hospitalized. The next morning, between two auditions, I drove up to see her. She shared how it was a miracle that her fiancée was alive and that she walked away with only a minor injury. Finally, a few weeks later, I visited her fiancée Mike (lead singer of the band Crossbac) and I was so happy to see that he was recovering quite well given his severe injuries. Although his healing will take several months, he's in the most positive spirits. I, of course, asked him how he felt about everything that happened and he openly shared. He said that when he was taken in the air ambulance three things crossed his mind: firstly he was thankful to be alive; secondly he had been asking for a break, for some time off; and thirdly he had been wanting a new car as he was just waiting for one more thing to go wrong with it. His prayers had been answered, he's been given months off to rest, and with his car being a write-off he will surely get another one when he's ready to get back on the road. He obviously didn't expect his time off to be a result of a car accident but here it is and while his body heals he can now give his singing voice much needed rest, learn Spanish and a few other things he had been putting on hold. "Be careful what you ask for, as you just might get it."
