I wanted to share with all of you my wonderful experience at the seminar in Dallas this past Saturday.
I bought the tickets around Christmas time along with my Mom, Grandma,and sister. My sister and Grandma flew in from CA. for the event. I must admit we had high hopes going into it because April the 8th marks the 1 year anniversary of the day my grandfather crossed over. (How cool is it that I have an 80 year old grandma open to all of this!
Five years ago our lives turned upside down when we lost my beloved younger brother unexpectedly. A family friend suggested I check out John Edward and watch CO. I am so grateful she did. It truly was a turning point for me.
Over the past 5 years I have attended 7 JE events and -are you ready for this- I have been read 4 times! Our family also won a private reading from a local radio station! :banana: I KNOW how blessed we are to have had such wonderful readings. I will never take that for granted. I really do go to his events of course hopeful, but really thinking what are the odds because we have already been read so many times by John. I always say a little prayer to my loved ones to please come through if you can, but if someone else needs it more that's okay with me.
The seminar Saturday was wonderful, but different than any others I've been to. John was great and funny as usual but I have to tell you I think it was a frustrating night for him. I am afraid my family had alot to do with that!:hmm: John did something I have never seen him do before at a seminar- he took a break when he was done with our reading!:hmm:
Here is how it unfolded,more or less...........
John said he was feeling a pull to a lady on the floor back row (we were in the second row of the balcony)
He said he had a strong female coming through named Maria. He also said he was getting the name Gloria (she could not validate) that's my grandma's name.
He was getting the number 8- my grandma's birthday is in Aug.
He said he was getting a male in the military who wore three different uniforms (again no validation) My grandfather wore exactly three different uniforms in the military.
He said the male had Alzheimer's (not for her) This is how my grandfather died.
Well at this point my mom and grandma are waving there arms saying over here- it's for us. I was quietly trying to remind them not to be a relative stealer!
Then John said he had a male with a glass eye (not for lady) My grandma's father had a glass eye.
He then said the name Mildred (did not make sense to lady on the floor)
Well at that point my mom and grandma went nuts waving and saying over here it's us! My sister and I were asking who is Mildred?? Come to find out that is my grandma's real name- Mildred Gloria! It only took me 37 years to learn that!!
At that point John said, " I see you waving over there, but I am not feeling the pull to you and I have to stay with that." My mom went on to tell him how everything he said made perfect sense to our family.
John wasn't backing down- he was sticking with his pull. He said if it is meant for you they will give me something to validate it.
He then turned back to the lady on the floor and said, " Who is Dan?"
Well, that was it!! That is my brother's name!! You can just imagine how crazy my mom went! She yelled out "That's my son!"
At that point John kind of through his hands up in the air as if to say he gives up! He seemed really baffled. He tried to find a connection with us and the other family, but there really wasn't one that we could see.
After that he went on to give us some 'right on the money' stuff! I have two pages of wonderful validations!
We know for certain that my gradfather and brother came throughto us that night. It was amazing for us, but I think really hard on John. They really gave him a workout!
At the end of the night he said something to the effect that tonight is a good example of how things don't always go as I think they are going. It reminds us who is really in charge!
After the seminar my mom asked why I was trying to sush her so much at first. I guess I was a little embarassed and afraid everyone there would think we were "relative stealers". When am I going to learn mother really does know best!
Oh yeah one more thing- my sister got to ask a question at the beginning. She asked John if he liked the format of his new show or the format of CO better. His answer surprised me. He said he really like CO better. He said he feels his teachings are evolving and this new show,with the focus being on the follow ups with the families,is what he is supposed to be doing at this time. He said he liked CO because he was able to show more readings.
He took questions for 1 1/2 hrs. before he got into readings. That was more than I have seen him do in the past.
It really was a great night- one I will never forget!:love:
