First, I'd like to say "I love all of your videos", b/c you always have something funny to say or something that we all can relate to. In regards to the note, I think it's normal for you to be annoyed, but as my mom always says, "man is only responsible for the amount of sense he has", therefore when others behave improperly, we have to remain humble and try to model appropriate behavior. That's all we can do.
Girl, the devil is using everybody. If he can confuse you, or have you distracted and angry enough, he would have won. But you don't have to SPLAIN (lol) to anyone. I was getting upset just listening to the mess. (not the text is a mess) just the fact that they want to judge you falsely. Let them go and allow God to work that out to them. They don't even understand your situation..Bless God, I am happy that you didn't respond to that negativety. Love Psalms 3:3 Have a blessed day.
Re: renewing your handicap tag, I had a similar situation years ago. I was pregnant & having trouble walking. I went to corporate security & they authorized me (gave me their own company-made tag) to park in a specific handicap parking spot. I asked if I needed to get a state tag & they told me no. So I think the laws/governance for private property parking lots are different than for public lots. I believe companies have complete governance over their own lots.
Grrrr! I think you handled it very well! I like SunShon07's point about how the Word tells us to go directly to someone if we have an issue... face to face! And if circumstances require a note then we should at least not make assumptions and leave our contact information to allow for a discussion to take place.
it's hard to think that the person was coming from a good place, only because of the way they mentioned your license plate first. that said, you know that you aren't faking the funk to get a close park. you also know that the mystery person doesn't know all the details of your ailment. don't sweat it anymore. the guard might be helping you out, but you should still get a proper renewed sticker just because it's the right thing to do.
I would be ticked too at first but it may be better to get the parking pass (permanent or another temporary one until your legs get better) - Maybe the Lord will give you a chance to talk to that person someday and it will all come around - BUT i really like what you said about extending grace - there are so many times that I have jumped to conclusions too fast and been totally wrong so i agree with what you said - keeping the note as a reminder to extend grace when you want to immediately judge
Well said....AMEN!!! I am a "PK" and have grown up in the church. I can't tell you how many young people and adults who have been pushed out by the judgments of others, who like you said, have very very very little information on what is going on. We are not here to judge but to support and love. If God were as judgemental and mean as so many christians are, no one would be able to be saved by His grace.
I am still uttered but this note . . . But I just want to say amen . . . we need more and more ppl like you . . . You pointed out something that is so true, that person is the reason why most ppl dont want to take the step and become closer to God . . . There are so many christians out there that feesl as if it is their job to Judge and criticize, brings others spirits down when wants us to left eachothers spirits! It is sad, What makes me even angerier is that this . . .makes the lord cry
I have been on both sides of this. When I was younger I did a nasty Holy Spirit, Jr. impersonation. I took a one on one, face to face approach,but I needed to be discipled on how to tell the truth IN LOVE (1 Cor 13).
Since then, I 've been judged, and I'm woman enough to say reaping that was not just annoying, it was painful. A call to grace was a great response. Well done. Dont' forget to extend that same grace to your offender if/when their identity is revealed to you. Thanks for sharing.
In most cities, regardless of if a parking space is in a public or private business, handicap parking and accessiblity are governed by state and city codes. A security officer giving you the okay to park in a handicap space does not negate the law requiring you to display proper tags or sticker. You know you need the sticker. The security guard knows you need the sticker. The average joe, religious or not, knows you need the sitcker. No matter how many spaces arent filled, sticker please.
@TheOhKorea Agreed. Also I think there are bigger things in the world going on to be worried about who's parking in a handicapped spot. I would also like to add that even though the security guard "OKed" you meaning he's not going to call the cops to ticket you or tow truck to tow you, you are still parking illegally. If the police showed up, the security guard wouldn't be paying the ticket. I would go get a tag asap. I would also be curious ot know who left the note on my car. Thats weird.
I want to thank you for sharing this experience. God has been teaching me about grace. Many times we do things as christians thinking that we are helping others when in actuallity we are not. This has taught me to seek God more before acting or speaking. I too want to be a light and the salt that God has called me to be. I understand how your flesh is aggrivated and it blesses me to see that you chose to go with grace and not spite. Continue to show grace and teach others how to be gracious.
I am SOOOO in agreement with you on this one. I have had those same kind of thoughts about some "church folk" more than once in my life. I have been judged and overheard harsh criticism at service. I still have love in my heart for my fellow man, but sometimes we judge each other too harshly. Thanks you for sharing this situation, because I will be even more mindful to refrain from judging, because its not my job....
Glamazini i love you!!! *hugs computer* this really spoke to me!! you better preach grraaaaa!! But no seriously this really did speak to me! your such an inspiration! keeps letting God use you
God has given you a good word. Glad you're sharing it. I used to be that Christian that would put that note on your car. I thought I was helping, but God has since shown me the error of my ways. I now, by His grace extend grace more and more! Praying for you and that person! God bless sister!
Shocking! I cant believe another Chrisian would do that. God see's your response and u should be proud of yourself for not being ticked off like most people would. Keep up the great attitude! I got so upset that i want to do an investigation and get security cam video footage... lol. I would do tht
God cares where you park, I thought he had bigger things to do. I think you take this with a grain of salt some people just like to judge others but you know your situation and they do no need to.
What I think is that people like this are why so many people hesitate before going to church on Sundays. Who wants to waste a perfectly good opportunity for a lie in by sitting next to a judgmental hypocrite who probably envies your prime parking space more so than he or she wishes to correct your perceived transgressions? I'm glad you're over this so quickly, but please be careful. This nut case sounds like a stalker.
I'm not one to post usually, but I'm tired of people being arrogant in the name of the lord and calling it boldness. That was just rude & down rite judgmental. The person assumed you were in the wrong & felt the need to put you in your place...not very god like.
I appreciate your humility and transparency in sharing this situation. Sometimes, as Christians we behave as our understanding and perception of a situation is the Gospel and God's position on the matter. But the Word says that His thoughts aren't our thoughts and His ways aren't our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). Be encouraged and continue to let your light shine. You are blessed ;-).
through out the years i've seen God's light n u so it's easy for me to know ur heart & that u do adhere to the laws of man & God. But what this person &probably the unsaved people @ your job dont know is...ur heart. I know this feels like a slap n the face but pls consider that if ur actions can give the appearance of evil to 1 of ur bro or sis it probably gives the same appearance to the world. So i would just say b careful becuz even if we dont judge each other the world is always judging us.
OMG - just learned about avoiding an over-righteous spirit a couple Sundays ago. We dont have all the facts, we cant read hearts like God & Christ so we need to display humility. Apply 1 Thes 4:11. Our assumtions about other's intentions is a reflection of our own heart. They should assumed that since you are a fellow Christian, you have a good reason for parking there. SN: Maybe the security office can make a sign or tag you can display in your windshield. That's what they do at my job.
Okay, I'm back with another comment. One of my besties received an email this evening with a similar thing. She just called fuming and I was able to refer her to your video. I think people are just going insane. Lonely, miserable people who cannot feel good about themselves unless they're putting someone else in their place or down. God Bless, Sis. Your vid is going to help my friend, so there's the ministry in it.
I'm SO sorry that happened to you =( Some people, christians or not, have a lot to learn about respect. Sometimes we all do things that may offend someone else but this was just plain rude. Like the saying goes.."When you ASSUME, you make an ASS out of U not ME." =) Hope you feel better & happy holidays!
You showed Christ in your response......some of us christians need a little extra HELP and PRAYER for our actions and attitudes ( me included ) at the anonymous note...... YOU have spoken the truth in love! Thank-you Roshini!
forreally real? What about the scripture about God being the judge? or he without sin let him cast the first stone? or something LOL people need to get some biznezzz . stalker? LOL
The person who sent you that note obviously has no life. Ok so A. Stalker much? this person had to have been observing your car on the regular to notice all that and B. using God to shame and condemn ppl is never cool. That person needs to get their facts straight before they start accusing innocent ppl based off of assumption (he/she doesn't even know/understand your situation!). So lame, can we stop the shame?!!
Christians, Christians, Christians!!!!.....Embarassing in this world....you didn't say nothing but the truth. That person needs to worry about their walk with Jesus.
We as christian (claiming for myself also) have a dirty habit of passing judgement before truly understanding another persons situation. Instead of extended love, christians tend to put forth condemnation and judgement. I'm glad that you turned this situation into good instead of bad. I learning everyday with my walk with God that people even christian need to learn and PRACTICE the way of Christ, before we believe that we are holier than or know more than anyone else.
SMH, wow, is all I can say. God help us to realize when something is not of you. Leaving that note, period, then note signing your name, messy, and unproductive.
The Word says if you have a problem with someone... GO to him... If he or she had they would have known the situation. I think the note was a coward move. Would it be wrong if you got some of that windshield paint and put this scripture. Prov. 20:3 It is an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every FOOL will be meddling! Your doing the right thing. I'm like you, I vent and then go on.
@SunShon07 :: I agree. I don't think I would've been so taken aback if the note had a question on it or a name. I have not issue with being confronted in love but dang! O_O
PAINFUL! I've been hurt by a fellow child of GOD, it makes me cautious with how I handle people. All I can do is pray, that I will not be a stumbling block in anyone's pathway. Oh what would GOD's people look like if we all EXAMINED OURSELVES.
That was a beautiful message Rev. Roshni (forgive me for mispelling your name). God definitely works in mysterious ways. Perhaps, he used that person and you, to share his goodness, his grace and mercy with the youtube community in a very real way. A way that isn't found in church, but a typical, every day situation. I definitely struggle with my relationship with God due to other Christians. But this message has boosted me a little bit. It reminded me who has the ultimate power. THANK YOU JESUS
not to be disrespectful but I work for an arena and we host different christian events like "Women of Faith" and Joyce Meyers", etc and the "christians that come to those concerts are so disrespectful, rude and they lie. i've never seen someone say they are a christian but lie to get on the ADA elevator and are disrespectful to staff. I was told by my pastor a long time ago that many ppl in the church and some ppl who profess to be "christians" are going to HELL and I believe it!

I am a Christian.... and I say how 'bout Mind Yo Business 101. It is clearly seen that whoever this person is..... First of all the one of the very scripture they quoted covered u B/C u obtained PERMISSION to park in that parking spot AND they have become the very stumbling block they have accused u of being. The fact that they left the note on ur car was not showing the Love of Christ. If they were SO concerned they would have come to you out of love. THEN u could hv told them the deal.
Wow...all I can really do is SMH. I agree with how you've decided to handle this and pray that if I were ever in the same situation that I could handle it as gracefully as you did.... I like the fact that you are keeping the note and using it to serve as a reminder (thereby changing this negative into a positive for you).
I know this note pissed you off but whomever wrote it didn't know your situation or anything else. He or she is is figuring that they are doing a good thing they are trying to "teach" you something. When in this case.... this person had it wrong. Really you should have trashed the note and not spent too much brain energy on it. By the way I have been a big fan of your blog from years and years ago (under another name)! Hugs sis!
Wow. People are always watching. So quick to judge with NOT enough information. My my my, Im glad you took what the devil meant for bad and turned it around to good. Be blessed.

Thanks for sharing.. The nerve of someone to leave such a note (smh). Then not to sign it shows that person wasnt looking to get a resolution/answer to the situation.. I often tell my husband or children to "put yourself in someone else's shoe" before making a judgement about that person.. ESPECIALLY if they dont have all the facts.. Its good to vent then move on, your positivity will shine through.
Maybe whoever wrote it doesnt know that you have had health problems. you dont need to tell anyone about your health issues because they are just thst YOUR health issues. A lot of the time it is easy to judge others on appearance as a lot of people have 'hidden' health issues. some unfair assumptions were made here and it would have been nice if they'd openly asked you rather than write that note. As long as you clear your actions with the Holy Spirit then you have to answer to NO ONE.
After I stopped laughing, the writer of the note thought he was helping you perhaps but you will never know. I would just try to obtain a new parking permit because you might need it as the weather gets worst. I have a permanent tag because I can't risk falling or slipping. I would suggest also to forget the note and try not to judge the writer. The devil is a sly one he knows the word of God also.
your right about these types of things keeping people away from GOD where is the grace and compassion? how does stuff like this give GOD glory? some may think this is trivial but its not this is one of those "little foxes" were are not to judge people especially when we dont know the facts thank you for this video it it a definite lesson for me as well.
Hey Glam, I have been dealing with this same situation. Can I send you a private video to tell you about my situation? I would love to get your take on it.
Amen and god bless. A sign of maturity and wisdom is when you can find a positive meaning in a negative experience. Don't change you, only do as God has called you. You have been blessed with the ability to be a blessing to others and I appreciate you.
The BLESSING in this situation is that YOU are the one who recieved this note & not a non-believer/seeker because this would have possibly turned them away from God. HE knew/trusted you to receive this & respond in a godly way. This person didn't check w/Him first because He would've told them to back off. “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you & falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice & be glad, because great is your reward in heaven.."Matt.5:11-12 <3
I totally agree with everything you said. We ALL (Non-Christians and Christians) need to stop being so judgmental about things, people, situations unless we know the facts first. I really enjoyed what you had to say!!
May the Lord prick the heart of those who confuse the Word for their purpose. I want to apologize for those mis interpret the Word. I'm glad you cleared that up. I really appreciate you.
Here's feedback, please if you can apply for a permanent handicap parking pass. Remove yourself completely from approach or any further attack. It's reasonable to be ticked. Don't give anyone room to attack you. You seem completely capable of controlling this.
@Thepurfectme :: yes I had that thought after this because I didn't realize it was gonna cause someone to get so rowdy. I only have 1 more day of work then my vacation so I may look into it for 2011.
You handled it well,all I will say about that is dont entertain foolishness!!! Dont wast anymore time thinking about it...some ppl need to think on their ways,pray for them and keep doing you, a reflection of Gods Glory..
Thanks for this message! I think you handled it well. Some may not have taken it as far as you did in terms of analyzing the situation, but I am a firm believer that there is a message and a lesson in every situation, and I'm trying to remain teachable. Thanks for being a blessing :-)
This is a very Huge lesson learned. We as Christians do tend to judge, sometimes even more than others that are not as spiritual. I myself am guilty of it. Sadly I'm not shocked. Thank God for grace because we obviously are still growing spiritual maturity. For me, lesson learned. Don't be too quick too judge. The same person that left that scripture
Very true!!! Sometimes we are the blemish on God's good name. Your flesh did quite well. Maybe I would have asked security if they saw who left the note. So that I could have a little chat with them.
Part of what got me was the fact that the person did not sign their name. If you're truly trying to help someone in that way, it seems like they would do so on a personal level like face to face. Leaving an anonymous note on your car is just rude. It sounds like a Christian hater to me, the way they worded the letter and put in the verses. It amazes me how there is competitiveness even in Christianity. Some people have to always feel like or prove that they are "better". You handle it well.
I thank God for how anointed this video is. I have had COUNTLESS situations where I have had to deal with this very thing. And you are right, it is this type of behavior that keeps people from growing closer to God. Thank you for letting Him use you and share this experience with those who will hear. Continue to walk in love.
Girl girl girl.....I'm paused at 5.23 just staring...what?? You've got to be kidding me!!!!! I'm so hot....ok sorry.....go on........Amen Amen You couldn't said it better. How dare they? I can't......you're handling it well sweetie......you obviously have a great relationship with HIM because I would've said a few not so kind words LOL.
Don't answer them. Ever! Continue to park there as long as you have permission. Hopefully the individual is not stealing office supplies (pen & paper) to write the notes...which he/she will continue to write "under the annointing" and working up themselves all by themselves (sorry, I love when people give me power). Their issues don't concern you.
It always bothered me the way that some people can use the words "God Bless You" as a slight or sarcastically towards a person. As a person who was *raised* Christian it really annoys me each and every time.
whoever wrote that note needs to go write another one...and put it on their own car!...i hope they see this video because they were ridiculous...i hope you get an opportunity to tell them off(of course in a christian manner...lol)
Well said, interpreted, & handled, Roshni. You are so right. Situations like this ARE the reasons why people run from knowing Christ. In attempts to be edifying and uplifting, often times many Christians come across as disingenuous, highty-flighty, holier than thou, arrogant know-it-alls. What kind of witness is that? Sadly, many times we are a "dark spot in a dark world." Instead of truly allowing God to truly operate through us to use us for His glory, many try be/act AS God Himself. :-|
I think you handled the situation well. What God is teaching me is that it's not so much what people say to me that matters, but how I respond. At some point in our life we all misrepresent God. As we get to know Him better, we more fully reflect His character. Praise God that His grace is sufficient... II Cor 12:9
Its very sad when Christains judge others knowing that god is the only judge. Those without sin cast the first stone is a verse in the bible i always try to remember as a child from growing up my dad always try to make me understand . So i try to remember that like you said lack of information . I'm very proud of you on how you handle that situation . No need to responds to the note god has a way of reponding to them by their ungodly action just pray for that person .
How very disrespectful to lay a judgement on your windshield! I have a blue (permanent) handicap sticker that I hang in my car and everytime I get into or out of my car people are looking at me as though I am a fraud. I have learned to disregard them because they are not doctors! Just because they can't see my handicap doesn't mean I owe them any explanation!
Sad that this person seems to have this much extra time on their hands to a) watch you so hard and to b) leave you such a "detailed" note. This is when it helps not to care so much (if at all) what others think of us - I'm workin on that one.
Sad that this person seems to have this much extra time on their hands to a) watch you so hard and to b) leave you such a "detailed" note. This is when it helps not to care so much what others think of us - I'm workin on that one.
I did feel judged when I was going to church...it's very unfortunate. Can't believe someone would have the nerve to leave that note. You don't need to explain yourself to this anonymous note writer! They should have been brave enough to write their name.
I couldn't agree with you more about everything you said you handled it well cause if it was me I would be searching for that person to give a peace of my mind lol but that was an awesome lesson
you are truly an awesome woman. thank you so much for sharing your experience and showing that it is possible to have a God focused heart even when you are misunderstood. oh and by the way, this video had me l-a-u-g-h-i-n-g!!!!
Some people in a position of power (whether real or imagined) use their power to beat down other people as a way to feel uplifted. You see it all the time in SOME police officers, SOME religious people, etc.
Do not let the note disturb you or trouble you. This person have some issues & need to pray. A matter of fact you pray for them because they need it. Don't be surprised if you receive another note if you do just look over it. You have great respect for God's word so don't worry about what this person may think or feel. You have permission and you have reason to park your vehicle in the space you have chosen which is not none of their business. Go to work with your head up & feel good! God Bless!
You need to find that person and stick Luke 6:37 and John 8:7 on their car: "Judge not lest ye be judged"/"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."
Wow...really though?? It is sad, and embarrassing. I'm glad you shared this with us. It is a reminder to not jump to conclusions or judge others. Sometimes you don't know a persons situation. It's a lesson for everyone. Saved or un-saved. Christian or not.
It sounds a bit self-righteous of that person to "assume" they knew the whole story. This is a reminder to me to get all of my facts first instead of guessing and then stabbing in the dark. I love the way God can turn any situation into a learning lesson, if we allow him to :) Thank you for sharing, Roshini.
WOW as if someone wrote that to you! i mean even if you DID park "illegally", im sure there are GREATER evil in this world than parking. Talk about jumping to conclusions smh
If this happens again, then I think you should leave a note a write in large print "I HAVE PERMISSION TO PARK HERE FROM THE SECURITY OFFICE. I HAVE MEDICAL PROBLEMS THAT PREVENT ME FROM PARKING FURTHER AWAY. I WILL BE UPDATING MY HANDICAP PARKING PASS SOON. MIND YOUR BUSINESS. GOD BLESS YOU." I think that should get your point across. (I know that you shouldn't have to explain yourself, but sometimes a quick, little explanation can keep people out of your business.
BWAHAHAHA LOLROTF!!!!! I hope they don't think they are the "authority" in Rm 13 working as security guards in a parking garageLOLOLOLOL....no offense to security guards but this is funny! Lord forgive me, but that was really funny.
you said the right thing, it is not our job to be their judging jury! i'm sorry this happened, but you definitely have the right response to it. whoever the person was that left the note, things will be revealed to where there will be understanding and the route that was taken against you should never be done again by them to anyone else. your hair is gorgeous by the way.
What you said is so beautiful! But I would like people to remember that people don't do this kind of stuff because they are religious, they do it because they are people. If you have always been a judgmental hypocrite, then you are still going to be a judgmental hypocrite even after you find Jesus, unless you seriously decide to work on it. I see where the person is coming from, but like you said, they don't have all the information and overstepped their bounds.
Wow. Going through same issue. This person not only judged you but then was a coward. You should leave your medical billls on the dashboard, he/she will see it. Lol. Then write "judge not!"
Thanks for that teachable moment! We can extend grace by realizing that we have been the note writer and the receiver of the note at some point in our lives. Extend understanding and compassion because it is right AND because when we stumble it is what we hope for.
Well said! BUT I don't think they had good intentions. Good intentions would have prayed about it. I think they/he/she wanted to grieve your spirit...
I really commend you on how you handled this situation, and one thing that I have to learned to do is give it to God and let him handle it. In due time the truth will be revealed to the person who wrote that letter in God's way. I noticed that you put you were once a person who steared away from God becuase of this, PRAISE GOD that you have learned of him for yourself and can grow in his likeness on your own accord and subject your decision to know him on someone elses actions.
Wow!!! I can not say that I have never been judgemental but my pet peeve is people that are blatently judgemental. In fact that a fraze I am known for saying, "Don't Judge Me!" I commend you that you don't plan to respond to this person. If it is meant for them to know your situation, they will find out. BTW, so upset that I wasn't able to come to the meetup, I live in Kansas City and this has been the closest one to me, that I know of. i hope it went well. :0)
I commend you for taking the high road. I would have walked back into that building asking for a sample of everybody's handwriting before they left the building! jk -praying Lord, hold my tongue.I'm sure He would knock some sense into me by the third handwriting sample. You represented well. Its definitely not our place to judge and we know the word says "For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you" Pray for that person and move on.
THey was wrong for assuming, but I have a feeling that they left the letter with good intentions... they really should have kept it to themselves.. i could understand if u were there illegally and it was a handicaped person, who needed the spot, however u said, its always handicaped spots available
I agree with your perspective & believe story such as yours is what is bringing the influx of atheism. We do appear like hypocrite to those who are non-believers or on the edge or not settle in their individual faith.
I hope i dont get block. Roshi, I hope and i pray that i can develop a loving relationship like you have with god.. I know it will take time.. I should make that my new year resolution for 2011.
i am so glad u handled it the way I think that God would want you to. now we live by the shoot now and ask Qs later mentality. lol thank u. i needed to hear this
Wow roshi @ 9:48 you spoke to me. This is one thing I Don't understand about christian/ religious people. These people "claim" to worship the lord and praise god, and these same people would turn around and do some of the wickedest things you can ever imagine. @ 23 years of age i will say these are the people I am scared off the most. I may not be religious/close to god as i would like too. But when i do become close to god i don't want be like these people.
@CurlyTrini87 :: lol @ "roshi" ... my advise would be the same to you as it took for me to come back to God after YEARS of running: it's about a relationship with God...not man. Man will fail you BUT remember, you are a man and you will fail people too because that is part of the flaw in humanity. Ultimately turn your eyes to God and don't look so hard on man...it works out better that way is what I'm learning.
@CurlyTrini87 :: I don't know that but I doubt it. I do not see any of my church members working here (it would be kind of obvious) and the parking garage is not visible from the street. I too am confounded at the boldness BUT I'm assuming they believe they are doing something good. I dunno.
Girl I thought you was gonna say you got a ticket. Then after you read the scriptures I was like wow, that note is much worse than a ticket... LOL I'd rather had gotten the ticket than that nonsense.
@mstanish1 :: LOL!! Well it's not the public handicap spaces, I would never do that without an appropriate tag because when I was at my worst leg-wise those handicap spaces were a GODSEND and I'd never take one from someone. That's why I asked and would never park there if they were limited, but there are approximately 8 spaces on each level and usually 2-3 cars max, including mine.
hey glamazini I am a natural/vlogger and most of all child of GOD and what you said it so true. You couldn't have been more careful lol. I know you wanted to say more but we got to be careful with those saints out there lol but I mean some "christians" take what they want out of the word instead of rightly dividing the word of truth which causes them to still be used by the enemy they need to be careful but also some things are a test and i believe GOD was testing you Good Job girl and god bles
Oh Lord help me....I would have been HOT!!!! (Jesus take the wheel!!) There is a Psalm on minding your own business ain't it? and Judging things? I would park there again and leave a note on my car for them with some bible verses. This person was supposed to be working and they were busy spending time writing notes. (Jesus said 'render to ceasar what is his' so they should have been working)
@mpenny226 :: that was my 1st instinct (to leave the note for them) but it is well. I'll park there because I can and not address them because God knows I already asked the appropriate people.
@Kinksgalore :: I don't know who wrote the note. I pass the security desk going in and out of the building every day and see them patrolling the garage. I believe they could tell me or give me a note at those times.
HOT FIRE!!!!!! Girl over a parking spot!!!! Oh my lawdddd! You have patience, times 100!!!!! & they didn't have the nerve to approach you are at least put their name on the note!!!! I DO NOT LIKE BIBLE THUMPERS!!!! lmbooooo your face is priceless!!! I am heated for you!! Oh dear loving god a parking spot!!! my loving god!!! Bless you, bless you, patience is a virtue! I don't think some Christians are an embarrassment to God, I think they are an embarrassment to themselves!!! ok i am calm!
Dear Girl, AS you Know, that everyone is not saved, as you can see in the note, Am learning as i get older that everyone that say that they our saved, really dont know the most high God at all, so what you do is keep praying for those people that really dont get it. And what it really is.
"Hold Your Mule" lady...you're making clear sense and you've done well to not respond. Assume the best (so you can have peace) and press on. ;)

First, I'd like to say "I love all of your videos", b/c you always have something funny to say or something that we all can relate to. In regards to the note, I think it's normal for you to be annoyed, but as my mom always says, "man is only responsible for the amount of sense he has", therefore when others behave improperly, we have to remain humble and try to model appropriate behavior. That's all we can do.

Girl, the devil is using everybody. If he can confuse you, or have you distracted and angry enough, he would have won. But you don't have to SPLAIN (lol) to anyone. I was getting upset just listening to the mess. (not the text is a mess) just the fact that they want to judge you falsely. Let them go and allow God to work that out to them. They don't even understand your situation..Bless God, I am happy that you didn't respond to that negativety. Love Psalms 3:3 Have a blessed day.

Re: renewing your handicap tag, I had a similar situation years ago. I was pregnant & having trouble walking. I went to corporate security & they authorized me (gave me their own company-made tag) to park in a specific handicap parking spot. I asked if I needed to get a state tag & they told me no. So I think the laws/governance for private property parking lots are different than for public lots. I believe companies have complete governance over their own lots.

Grrrr! I think you handled it very well! I like SunShon07's point about how the Word tells us to go directly to someone if we have an issue... face to face! And if circumstances require a note then we should at least not make assumptions and leave our contact information to allow for a discussion to take place.
ladynblu1 1 year ago
it's hard to think that the person was coming from a good place, only because of the way they mentioned your license plate first. that said, you know that you aren't faking the funk to get a close park. you also know that the mystery person doesn't know all the details of your ailment. don't sweat it anymore. the guard might be helping you out, but you should still get a proper renewed sticker just because it's the right thing to do.

We are not here to judge but to support and love. If God were as judgemental and mean as so many christians are, no one would be able to be saved by His grace.

I have been on both sides of this. When I was younger I did a nasty Holy Spirit, Jr. impersonation. I took a one on one, face to face approach,but I needed to be discipled on how to tell the truth IN LOVE (1 Cor 13).
Since then, I 've been judged, and I'm woman enough to say reaping that was not just annoying, it was painful. A call to grace was a great response. Well done. Dont' forget to extend that same grace to your offender if/when their identity is revealed to you. Thanks for sharing.
redeemed2bfree 1 year ago 2
In most cities, regardless of if a parking space is in a public or private business, handicap parking and accessiblity are governed by state and city codes. A security officer giving you the okay to park in a handicap space does not negate the law requiring you to display proper tags or sticker. You know you need the sticker. The security guard knows you need the sticker. The average joe, religious or not, knows you need the sitcker. No matter how many spaces arent filled, sticker please.
TheOhKorea 1 year ago 6
@TheOhKorea Agreed. Also I think there are bigger things in the world going on to be worried about who's parking in a handicapped spot. I would also like to add that even though the security guard "OKed" you meaning he's not going to call the cops to ticket you or tow truck to tow you, you are still parking illegally. If the police showed up, the security guard wouldn't be paying the ticket. I would go get a tag asap. I would also be curious ot know who left the note on my car. Thats weird.

This has taught me to seek God more before acting or speaking. I too want to be a light and the salt that God has called me to be. I understand how your flesh is aggrivated and it blesses me to see that you chose to go with grace and not spite. Continue to show grace and teach others how to be gracious.

What I think is that people like this are why so many people hesitate before going to church on Sundays.

I'm glad you're over this so quickly, but please be careful. This nut case sounds like a stalker.

I appreciate your humility and transparency in sharing this situation. Sometimes, as Christians we behave as our understanding and perception of a situation is the Gospel and God's position on the matter. But the Word says that His thoughts aren't our thoughts and His ways aren't our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). Be encouraged and continue to let your light shine. You are blessed ;-).

OMG - just learned about avoiding an over-righteous spirit a couple Sundays ago. We dont have all the facts, we cant read hearts like God & Christ so we need to display humility. Apply 1 Thes 4:11. Our assumtions about other's intentions is a reflection of our own heart. They should assumed that since you are a fellow Christian, you have a good reason for parking there.

That was a beautiful message Rev. Roshni (forgive me for mispelling your name). God definitely works in mysterious ways. Perhaps, he used that person and you, to share his goodness, his grace and mercy with the youtube community in a very real way. A way that isn't found in church, but a typical, every day situation. I definitely struggle with my relationship with God due to other Christians. But this message has boosted me a little bit. It reminded me who has the ultimate power. THANK YOU JESUS

Maybe whoever wrote it doesnt know that you have had health problems. you dont need to tell anyone about your health issues because they are just thst YOUR health issues. A lot of the time it is easy to judge others on appearance as a lot of people have 'hidden' health issues. some unfair assumptions were made here and it would have been nice if they'd openly asked you rather than write that note. As long as you clear your actions with the Holy Spirit then you have to answer to NO ONE.

After I stopped laughing, the writer of the note thought he was helping you perhaps but you will never know.

I would suggest also to forget the note and try not to judge the writer. The devil is a sly one he knows the word of God also.

Leaving an anonymous note on your car is just rude. It sounds like a Christian hater to me, the way they worded the letter and put in the verses.

Well said, interpreted, & handled, Roshni. You are so right. Situations like this ARE the reasons why people run from knowing Christ. In attempts to be edifying and uplifting, often times many Christians come across as disingenuous, highty-flighty, holier than thou, arrogant know-it-alls. What kind of witness is that? Sadly, many times we are a "dark spot in a dark world." Instead of truly allowing God to truly operate through us to use us for His glory, many try be/act AS God Himself. :-|

I think you handled the situation well. What God is teaching me is that it's not so much what people say to me that matters, but how I respond. At some point in our life we all misrepresent God.

Some people in a position of power (whether real or imagined) use their power to beat down other people as a way to feel uplifted. You see it all the time in SOME police officers, SOME religious people, etc.

Do not let the note disturb you or trouble you. This person have some issues & need to pray. A matter of fact you pray for them because they need it. Don't be surprised if you receive another note if you do just look over it. You have great respect for God's word so don't worry about what this person may think or feel. You have permission and you have reason to park your vehicle in the space you have chosen which is not none of their business. Go to work with your head up & feel good! God Bless!

You need to find that person and stick Luke 6:37 and John 8:7 on their car: "Judge not lest ye be judged"/"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

Wow...really though?? It is sad, and embarrassing. I'm glad you shared this with us. It is a reminder to not jump to conclusions or judge others. Sometimes you don't know a persons situation. It's a lesson for everyone. Saved or un-saved. Christian or not.

It sounds a bit self-righteous of that person to "assume" they knew the whole story. This is a reminder to me to get all of my facts first instead of guessing and then stabbing in the dark. I love the way God can turn any situation into a learning lesson, if we allow him to :) Thank you for sharing, Roshini.

WOW as if someone wrote that to you! i mean even if you DID park "illegally", im sure there are GREATER evil in this world than parking. Talk about jumping to conclusions smh

If this happens again, then I think you should leave a note a write in large print "I HAVE PERMISSION TO PARK HERE FROM THE SECURITY OFFICE. I HAVE MEDICAL PROBLEMS THAT PREVENT ME FROM PARKING FURTHER AWAY. I WILL BE UPDATING MY HANDICAP PARKING PASS SOON. MIND YOUR BUSINESS. GOD BLESS YOU." I think that should get your point across. (I know that you shouldn't have to explain yourself, but sometimes a quick, little explanation can keep people out of your business.

you said the right thing, it is not our job to be their judging jury! i'm sorry this happened, but you definitely have the right response to it. whoever the person was that left the note, things will be revealed to where there will be understanding and the route that was taken against you should never be done again by them to anyone else. your hair is gorgeous by the way.

What you said is so beautiful! But I would like people to remember that people don't do this kind of stuff because they are religious, they do it because they are people. If you have always been a judgmental hypocrite, then you are still going to be a judgmental hypocrite even after you find Jesus, unless you seriously decide to work on it. I see where the person is coming from, but like you said, they don't have all the information and overstepped their bounds.

Wow. Going through same issue. This person not only judged you but then was a coward. You should leave your medical billls on the dashboard, he/she will see it. Lol. Then write "judge not!"

Thanks for that teachable moment! We can extend grace by realizing that we have been the note writer and the receiver of the note at some point in our lives. Extend understanding and compassion because it is right AND because when we stumble it is what we hope for.

I really commend you on how you handled this situation, and one thing that I have to learned to do is give it to God and let him handle it. In due time the truth will be revealed to the person who wrote that letter in God's way. I noticed that you put you were once a person who steared away from God becuase of this, PRAISE GOD that you have learned of him for yourself and can grow in his likeness on your own accord and subject your decision to know him on someone elses actions.

Wow!!! I can not say that I have never been judgemental but my pet peeve is people that are blatently judgemental. In fact that a fraze I am known for saying, "Don't Judge Me!" I commend you that you don't plan to respond to this person. If it is meant for them to know your situation, they will find out. BTW, so upset that I wasn't able to come to the meetup, I live in Kansas City and this has been the closest one to me, that I know of. i hope it went well. :0)

I commend you for taking the high road. I would have walked back into that building asking for a sample of everybody's handwriting before they left the building! jk -praying Lord, hold my tongue.I'm sure He would knock some sense into me by the third handwriting sample. You represented well. Its definitely not our place to judge and we know the word says "For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you" Pray for that person and move on.

THey was wrong for assuming, but I have a feeling that they left the letter with good intentions... they really should have kept it to themselves.. i could understand if u were there illegally and it was a handicaped person, who needed the spot, however u said, its always handicaped spots available

I agree with your perspective & believe story such as yours is what is bringing the influx of atheism. We do appear like hypocrite to those who are non-believers or on the edge or not settle in their individual faith.

Wow roshi @ 9:48 you spoke to me. This is one thing I Don't understand about christian/ religious people. These people "claim" to worship the lord and praise god, and these same people would turn around and do some of the wickedest things you can ever imagine. @ 23 years of age i will say these are the people I am scared off the most. I may not be religious/close to god as i would like too. But when i do become close to god i don't want be like these people.

@CurlyTrini87 :: lol @ "roshi" ... my advise would be the same to you as it took for me to come back to God after YEARS of running: it's about a relationship with God...not man. Man will fail you BUT remember, you are a man and you will fail people too because that is part of the flaw in humanity. Ultimately turn your eyes to God and don't look so hard on man...it works out better that way is what I'm learning.

@mstanish1 :: LOL!! Well it's not the public handicap spaces, I would never do that without an appropriate tag because when I was at my worst leg-wise those handicap spaces were a GODSEND and I'd never take one from someone. That's why I asked and would never park there if they were limited, but there are approximately 8 spaces on each level and usually 2-3 cars max, including mine.

hey glamazini I am a natural/vlogger and most of all child of GOD and what you said it so true. You couldn't have been more careful lol. I know you wanted to say more but we got to be careful with those saints out there lol but I mean some "christians" take what they want out of the word instead of rightly dividing the word of truth which causes them to still be used by the enemy they need to be careful but also some things are a test and i believe GOD was testing you Good Job girl and god bles

Oh Lord help me....I would have been HOT!!!! (Jesus take the wheel!!) There is a Psalm on minding your own business ain't it? and Judging things? I would park there again and leave a note on my car for them with some bible verses. This person was supposed to be working and they were busy spending time writing notes. (Jesus said 'render to ceasar what is his' so they should have been working)
mpenny226 1 year ago
@mpenny226 :: that was my 1st instinct (to leave the note for them) but it is well. I'll park there because I can and not address them because God knows I already asked the appropriate people.

Dear Girl, AS you Know, that everyone is not saved, as you can see in the note, Am learning as i get older that everyone that say that they our saved, really dont know the most high God at all, so what you do is keep praying for those people that really dont get it. And what it really is.
