Yesterday was a very tough day. But I stayed focused on the grace of God and the promises that He gave me. He wouldn’t have brought me all this way to leave me hangin. So in a way I sort of bore down and told myself that I’m going to break through this, no matter what. I was going to trust God no matter what. Even though the negative circumstances were tough I was not going to be intimidated by them. I woke up this morning and I rolled out of bed. I always like to start the day on my knees as a sign of submission to God’s will. I renew my mind daily like Paul teaches. I also pray against the spirit of fear. So I’m on my way to work like every day. I made a conscious decision that I was just going to trust God no matter what. That took all the pressure off. Remember, God brought me here only because I was a willing vessel. And God will provide for me here because I am a willing vessel. I hear a song on the radio, Torn…by Natalie Imbruglia. And the peace and joy of God just flooded into my car. Nothing changed circumstantially. I didn’t even change my attitude. But I just felt I was floating with the joy and positivity that was filling my heart. Now nothing happened in the natural world, but It just felt like a cloud of heaviness was lifted. I could tell someone, somewhere in the world was praying for me. This happened around 8:30 AM my time which would be 9:30 PM PST or 12:30
EST. So if you happened to be praying around this time, I want you to know that your prayers worked. The whole rest of the day I faced trying circumstances with a positive attitude. If I would have faced those same circumstances with a negative attitude they would have made everything a little bit worse.
On my way to a couple of meetings I got a call from AB Moosa…he’s the Bollywood film producer. Its always cool to get a call with so many numbers on your caller ID that you have no idea where the call is coming from. So the secretary came on and said…Mr. Beeman…please hold for Mr. Moosa. How cool is that? Plus he’s my age…or a little bit younger so that makes it even cooler. I had sent AB a short email today and he was calling me back. I really think there is a long term partnership that is developing here. He has never ventured into Hollywood before and I might be the conduit to help him do that. Who knows…God is setting up all these divine appointments in my stead. So instead of meeting in November, since I’ll be gone the latter part of the month to visit the kids, we are going to meet at the Dubai Film Festival in December. Remember when I said that I felt God was telling me that December would be a big month? Well if he was right when he said the last six weeks would be hard, by simple logic leads me to believe that December indeed will be a very big and good month. What is going to happen? I don’t know but God hasn’t let me down so far. Im the one that constantly messes everything up.
Im going to go without even proofreading this tonight…so forgive me it there are mistakes. If you have been praying…please continue…Oh yeah…I almost forgot. We had our positive living group and we had Ashish com for the first time. Ashish had been reading and commenting in my blog, so it was nice to see someone else that came to this group after reading the blog. Oh yeah…and one of the new coaches that was here also read my blog before he met me. Anyway…I was talking at dinner about how its possible to maintain your joy in the midst of the storm. 45 minutes later during Joel’s message he repeated that phrase verbatim. It was very encouraging. I got the feeling that God was trying to tell me something.
