What A Difference Deanna Favre Makes!

Deanna Favre recently published a book titled "Don't bet against me! Beating the odds against breast cancer and in life". No, I've never had breast cancer but I do know several women who have had this tragic illness impact their lives, or lives of loved ones. The morning of Saturday, October 13th, I was one of many hundred people in line at the "Family Christian Store" in Appleton Wisconsin. I'm not one who usually waits in line for much of anything, however I made the decision quite easily to wait in line for Deanna Favre to personally sign a copy of her book... for me.
She was only there from 10 a.m. to noon, and only signing books for the first 300 people in line. I got there by 9 a.m. to hopefully make sure I'd be one of the 300; I was number 125! The line moved very slowly; Deanna was taking time to personalize the books with special notes for those battling breast cancer, or breast cancer survivors. While waiting in line I struck up conversations with those around me and found out it is a small world indeed. The 3 hours I was there in line reminded me that patience truely is a virtue, and God brings messages to us in unexpected ways. The time invested was well worth it. Deanna spoke kind words of encouragement to me as she signed books which I will lovingly be "gifting" to others.
I am thankful for the wonderful opportunity to meet Deanna Favre, I was able to personally thank her for all she does for others!
