Everything’s Gonna Be OK!

I’m a 31 year old man and I can’t believe I’m about to admit this to the public on my blog… but I really like Miley Cyrus’ single “Party in the USA”. (Did I really just admit to that?!!) Oh well. It’s out there. There’s something about it that’s just a cool pick me upper.
So I was checking out http://stufftotweet.com the other day and this video was in the top 10 most popular. Yes, I clicked on it thinking I would listen to my secret indulgence, but what I found actually surprised me a bit. I’ve never heard of the artist that put this together even though it appears she’s a comedian by trade. Check out her YouTube channel for her other works: http://www.youtube.com/user/BrittaniLouiseTaylor
My mother passed away two years ago (28 Aug 07) and she dealt with issues of depression and attempted suicide throughout her adult life because of the abuse she suffered as a child. That’s another story for another blog post, but needless to say this video caused me to reflect on the serious issues that people deal with on a daily basis. Other than cancer, she struggled with all of the other issues shown in this video.
Maybe I felt inspired to share this because today is Sunday and I had a great day worshiping at church and spending the afternoon and evening with my little family. Maybe it was because I have been reflecting on my mother’s courageous life and thinking how much I miss her. Whatever the reason I hope you enjoy the song as much as I did. It has a great message of overcoming adversity through hope.
In comparison to some my life has been a cake walk. Not to say it’s been all roses though. I’ve experienced pain, rejection, failure, etc. Through all of those various experiences though I’ve always said to myself “Everything is gonna be OK!” So when I heard this song it just reminded me once again that everything is truly going to be OK.
Regardless if you are struggling with an difficult circumstance in life or not – smile! Here’s a warm hug from me to you.
Thanks to Brittani Louise Taylor for performing this beautiful song. Well done. As for my mom, I know she’s watching over me. I love ya mom…

Wow Gabe,
All I really know about Miley is tabliod photos and news stories. Never really listened to her music. But this is a great song with a great message. Thanks so much for sharing the video and a bit of your story. I’m sure it will help more than a few people get through a tough day, or worse. I know I feel better!

Thanks for sharing the song and your thoughtful words about your mom. When we lose someone special to us, we think it will never be OK again, but as you and I have found, there does come a day again when we can yell out to the world “Everything is gonna be OK”.
I liked this video because I can identify with it through my own experiences of 55 years. It portrays the message that I always found to be true when facing hard times, all bad things eventually pass and new things take their place. I tell myself this when times are hard and I remind my grown children, when they have hard times. I love God and know that he will see me through and he even gave us angels to take special care of us, just like the people in this video have their own angels. Thanks for sharing the message through the video.
Hi Gabe!
Because of you I’ve learned about another artist, Brittani. Her lyrics are wonderful in helping all of us through those tough times.
Watched this video this afternoon with some homeless and vulnerable people. We were not sure if we should laugh, cry or switch off. Deeply offensive and god awful, zero awareness and no connection with reality.
