GOD MUST WANT ME TO GO TO DISNEY

A few months ago when I booked my late Sept trip I was excited to be going back to Disney, but knew in the back on my mind that what I was really telling myself was that my teaching career was over....and I said if I got a job I would have to cancel the trip....

Then I booked all the ADRs and we were all excited and talking about who else we could entice to come along....and I was looking forward to going....

Then came a phone call that someone on the trip has been diagnosed with cancer and the prognosis is bleak....and we wondered if we should just cancel....but decided to hold out and hope that we can somehow manage it.....

Since that time, I can't visualize myself at Disney with my friends, and don't see myself there at all....

Then today I saw information on the Food and Wine Festival, so decided to see what would be appening and couldn't believe that my all time favorite (and I do mean favorite and I make no apologies) rock group is playing....and I realized God wants me to be happy, he wants me to go to Disney and he wants me to see the Go-Go's. (But apparently he doesn't want me to have a job.)

I'm sure he wants his friend to be well too. Maybe he was making a joke to make himself feel a little better. For instance, my dad had to have some tests on his heart. My mom said that they wouldn't get the results until June 7. I said well you will have to text me the results because I will be in the Magic Kingdom. I'm extremely worried about my dad, but they would never in a million years want me to cancel the trip. And my mom and I actually discussed this and we figured if there was something wrong they wouldn't make him wait for a whole month to find out. Laughter is the best medicine!:D

Don't even want to get started on a religious thread, and I refuse to discuss my religion outside of my close family, not even fellows of the faith, in great detail.

...however, I wanted to say four things...and a few questions...

1) I hope your friend finds peace, and approaches what is sure to be a rocky path strongly and with support. Prognosis aside, is he still able to go on the trip?

2) I hope your trip goes extremely well, and you take time to enjoy the little moments which will help inspire you (not like the Lord does) towards grand endeavors.

3) I hope you find a job soon.

4) Just a post, of an article I found interesting - http://www.patheos.com/Resources/Ad...arned-At-Disney-World-Greg-Garrett-06-09-2011

My friend has a great spirit and is not a quitter, which will help her through this time. She sees a specialist later this week and then all the doctors will decide on the course of treatment.

In all honesty, we haven't spoken of the trip. I did talk to some of the other people and that is where we discussed the possible need to cancel the trip. (If you saw previous post I had a few weeks ago, I asked about renting a scooter in case she can go, but is incapable of doing the amount of walking necessary for WDW). I will remain positive and we will hold off on making final decision for awhile... We also have tickets to see Jimmy Buffet in late summer and am very hopeful she will be well enough to come tailgate and see the show.

I have a few leads on jobs, and know that I may have to leave education to find a job that will pay the bills. I am feeling really good about the potential for an interview - but if I get the job, I won't be able to go in Sept/Oct, but employment trumps Disney everytime.

Thanks for the kind words and post - going to read the article now.....

Oh dear! God Bless You! If you like Joel Osteen, he talks about God's rewards quite a bit. His new book I Declare is a good reference in that respect.
I do hope you get a job though, and I do hope your friend is healing.:)

Yes. Joel Osteen. He talks about that quite a bit. The reason he is so popular. Having lived in Houston and followed his rise to fame, it's a shame more people don't know more of the story.

I will add a bit of perspective from a believer. God wants faithfulness to Him. If your happiness brings glory to Him then I'm sure He wants you to go. If you think God exists to make you happy, then we are talking about a god and not the God.
