Life Coaching: Wigging Out

Most of my followers know I review wigs on my YouTube channel. It’s something I started in an effort to make people think outside the box, and I wanted to make people laugh. It’s what I live for.

Recently, I was contacted by a wig company I review for, and they were launching their Spring line. They wanted to send me a wig to review and a wig to give away. This company was the first “major” wig company to approach me to review after I started my channel. In short, they believed in me, and we have had a great collaboration ever since.

Part of the deal was that I had to go live on YouTube, and I was scared half to death. I’d been live on Facebook, but that was normally around 20-30 people or less. I have over 4600 subscribers on my YouTube channel, and what if they all decided to watch at the same time? I prayed two things: One, that I wouldn’t be petrified and mess the whole thing up; and two, that the person who won the wig would be someone who really needed it. I couldn’t bear the thought that someone with 25 premium wigs in their closet would win this wig, when there are ladies going through chemo who can’t afford one. Ya know?!?

To make a long story short, the lady who won had had a very rough time of it. She’s lost all her hair, her husband was going through chemotherapy, she was going on for surgery today and she had no money to buy a decent wig. God heard my prayer and He answered that prayer. He is good.

I am telling this story because there is a lot of talk going around this country to only buy products made in America. Listen, folks, I am as patriotic as the next person. But think about this…if the wig company hadn’t believed in me, if the fellow hadn’t contacted me, if he hadn’t had a working relationship with me, if they hadn’t given me the wig, if I didn’t have the wig to give away, if the woman hadn’t been blessed with the wig ( I know that’s a lot, but bear with me)…I wouldn’t have been able to tell this story to the man at the wig company whom I collaborated with…in China. Let that really sink in. I was able to talk about GOD (Jehovah, the Great I Am, the Mighty One) to a fellow thousands of miles away in a communist country who may have never heard the Name of the One True God!

He may delete my email. He may never collaborate with me again. He may do a lot of things. I have no control over that. But I know this for sure—we cannot cut our ties with an unbelieving world. How will they ever hear about Jesus if we do? There are a LOT of our fellow brothers and sisters in China that work in those factories. They depend on our American dollars to feed themselves and their families. I don’t want that on my head.

I’m not trying to be political here. I’m merely trying to point out this—we don’t know what God can use to bring about His Will here on this earth. We simply do not know. That why He’s God and we’re not. Let’s rest in the not knowing. We don’t have to know everything, after all.
