All you need is love

Washington, D.C.Jessica is a rising star who is grateful for each beautiful day and for the abundance of good things in her life.
I read The Secret nearly two weeks ago and am becoming a believer, that miracles happen every day. I grew up in the church wanting to believe the promises in the scripture but never really knowing how to access their riches. I knew that God’s eye was on the sparrow, but I didn’t believe his eye was on me. I knew that all things were possible through God, but I didn’t believe they were possible for me.
Now, two weeks later, I know that I am the sparrow and that all things are possible and that all things work for the good when you are filled with love. In the last two weeks, I have fallen in love with myself for the first time in my life. My anxiety has gone. I am relaxed, at peace, and filled with joy. I spend my days laughing and smiling. I have fallen in love with my work again. I wake up happy to have a day full of wonderful children who teach me how to have the faith of a child. An opportunity I had lost because of my own fear was given to me again, and I laughed out loud in joy and thanksgiving to find that it was the same lost opportunity found, and this time paying more money that when originally offered.
A few weeks ago, I had put out a desire to be singing more. So two weeks ago, I listened to a quiet voice inside my head urging me to make an unplanned stop on my way home from church and was led to a man named Joe who hired me to sing backing vocals for a contract with Universal records. I also told my mom three weeks ago that what I really wanted to do was make great movies that would uplift people, so of course when I met Joe, I learned that his brother is a movie producer who now has all of my materials on his desk.
I could go on and on telling you about the miracles of the last two weeks, all because I began by being grateful for all the wonderful things that had already been entrusted to me, and then I started looking for reasons to be happy. I started looking for reasons to like myself. It was easier than I thought and is getting easier every day.
I’m so happy to be alive and I can’t wait to tell you about my next big miracle. Thank you, Rhonda, for letting your light shine.
