Dear Joel Osteen
November 16, 2012
Hi my name is Mary Jean Ziska. I love
your show and watch it religiously….(
Sorry for the pun or is this just a play on words…) …. What I mean to say is that I really enjoy
your sermons….. and everything about
your message… from the jokes at the start of the program …. To the
message about God’s unconditional love..
and the wonderful / great life God has
in store for each and every one of us… it
is so refreshing and so inspirational! Your show has made a difference
in my life and I look forward to hearing
your sermons each and every Sunday… Here in Naples Florida your show
airs at 8:00am at 8:30am and 9 am I have
tried to get my mom, and sister involved …. I remind them of the shows and I
pass along your email messages to
them when I find them really
interesting….. and inspirational and will
help to encourage them…. I was raised Catholic and have a strong belief
in God’s love for us…. And I want you to
know how much your messages have touched my heart….. I have been praying with my mom each
night…for probably about 5-6 months…. And I have been praying for special
intensions each and every day for the past 4….almost 5 years….
I have two reasons for writing you today…. I wanted to share
a story I wrote to my sisters for Christmas in 2003… it is based on God’s
perfect plan for our life… about Gods plan for the right person in your
life…. and it was so remarkable that your sermon based on having “yes
in your future” …. Made me want to share my story with you… When I wrote this story about “my
gingerbreadman”…I even started a website I named www.mygingerbreadman.com
. I started the website thinking I could
have such an amazing story about meeting
my prince charming… and what a lovely story to tell our kids… someday….
In 2003… I just knew so many amazing women who I hoped
would find such great happiness in life
and love…. I wrote the story about “my
gingerbreadman”…. when my faith was
soooo strong… I honestly believed that God ‘s fatherly love and his promises would come to pass in my life…..
Alas, when I wrote the story…. I did not even now that at the time I had been the victim of identity theft for a
full year… or more…. And later, as I had gone through tons of research I
uncovered I have found that for the past 13 years I have not
been protected by God …. I have been victimized… by somne really scummy people…. And my life has been completely ruined….. I had
not only my identity stolen, but false
mortgages were placed on my home… and over $200,000.00 were stolen off those mortgages.. I have been the victim
of actual theft where clothing
jewelry and even items that were person to me were stolen… like date function pictures from college were stolen…. And personal
items…. Mementos… and keep sakes…. Like
pearl earrings my dad had given to me… a
cashmere sweater my mom had given me for
Christmas… shoes my sister had given me were ruined… and from the start…. businesses
and files on clients and even
personal account were compromised…. Which led to two businesses being completely
stolen…. And leaving me to each time
have to try to pick up the pieces and
move forward… with less in my life and less in my heart and less of my future
and my dreams ever happening… I
have been conned and lied to and hurt by
so much and by so many people… so that
my trust in people …. Well let’s say it is definitely not what it used to
be…. Almost each and every time I went out of my home I
found that people had come into my
home and not just breaking and entering … to steal ….they
used my home as if it was their own home… and people knew it was happening and they let my life be violated…. while these criminals
ate and partied and ruined my life… 13
years of ruining my life… for their own selfish intent….. I kept praying…. Kept
filing police reports… kept trying to do
the right thing… while the criminals
continued with their
manipulation… and their schemes and no matter who I tried to contact I never seemed to get thought to the right authorities who could help…. I
have been through more bad experiences in these
past years then my entire life…..
and ones that have really e really ruined my life…. and I don’t understand where God has been in all of
this….… I can’t believe that he would have ever wanted me to have had
to had all these criminals who have
ruined my life… I can’t believe that God
would have allowed this on purpose…..
allowing 13 years of my life to be
ruined.. my credit to be ruined.. my home ownership to be threatened…. For me
to be bullied until I was throwing up and
lost 30 pounds…. And to presently
be on medical disability with an abusive guardian who harmed my independence and homeownership and for me to
be on food stamps….
I actually had a great life… a great child hood and amazing
family and friends… I had a great
credit score…I had a successful business
and plans for my future even
had money put away for either
going to interior design school or get
an MBA…. I had worked hard, been honest
and tried my best to do the
right thing in all instances….. I had
tons of great friends and a loving wonderful family….. for crime
and slime to ruin all I had.. all
I wanted…. It was not God…. Or goodness….
or love…. I prayed and believed God was like my dad… someone I could always
count on, and who made my life better. I
believed in a God who made my life better …. And not just financially … but
with divine connections…. And with placing hopes and dreams and opportunities
in my life…. and this God I believed in, made those dreams he placed in my heart…. He made those dreams come true….
After these 13
years worth of the worst experiences of my life… I am asking you to pray for me…
In my prayers each night I pray for a huge financial miracle…. So that my home is
not foreclosed upon… that the identity thief damage and fraud is made right… that monies
and possessions stolen are restored to me… that I can restore to my family all that has
been ruined and destroyed by these same criminals… and that all of our
affirmations hopes and dreams can be realized… I pray each and every night for
protection from all harm…I pray God stops all the people who have
lied , cheated and stolen from me and my family…. That God will remove from my life and my family and friend’s life all the
hackers, fakes, fraud and manipulation, the trespassers, bullies identity
thieves, imposters con artists and that God grants protection and freedom from all the evil horrible selfish mean people and especially
for all their selfish and manipulative intensions….
I pray that God
Blesses me and my family and
restores with his one breath of his
favor…. everything that was stolen and
broken and ruined by these criminals and con artists…. in my life…and in my family’s life…. I
prayed that God grants me the
finances far beyond my wildest dreams…
and in a way that cannot be stolen from me… or conned away from me… by the
identity thief… and their criminal crew…
that the horrible mean people are never
allowed to ever harm anyone like they
ruined my life… that they are not allowed to ever do such damage…. That they it
all on purpose… and they did it with
malicious intent….
My life if so far from any of my hopes and dreams I can’t wait to die and be in heaven … with real
people who really Love me and won’t isolate me… so they can hurt me….or steal from me or my family and they won’t be
ever be able to manipulate… and lie….
and harm me ever again….…. they have
taken away everything I love … and I see no godly reason behind it…. I
guess I am hoping since God can’t possibly
be listening to me.. that perhaps if you pray for me…. That God’s
favor will return and my prayers will be answered…
You mentioned in your prayer about not casting away my
confidence which has great reward….. that “when the intensity heats up that
mean s you are closer to your victory”…..
But for 13 years?…..
I think it all started when I moved into a great gated community… and since my dad was so honest… and I was soo
honest and we believed the best in people… there was a group of evil con
artists who decided to ruin our lives
for their own benefit…. And once ensnarled in their web of their constant manipulation and lies…
they stole everything they could…… they lied about everything they could and they ruined everything they could….. and
the worst part…. they got away with it ….
They even dressed up as authority figures… like police… or contractors… or
people I once knew and loved ….. or
anything…or anyway to manipulate…. they
manipulated phone systems…. hacked into phone messages…. And they are still getting away with it… they
are trying to have horrid lies become the truth….. like my mom losing an income
property….which is her home… or lies
like laws that are supposed to stop criminals ….. and protect innocent people… that they don’t
apply….. they want to make me believe
that their criminal activities are not
subject to being punished….. I even had
the unthinkable happen…. There were people even
protecting and sticking up for
these criminals…. Like the girl karne
kahel who bullied me until I was shaking and throwing up… they wanted me to
believe that the laws don’t apply…… that it was alright… that she
must be more important than me…. And it was alright that she bullied me…. These horrid people on my phone told me the unthinkable
that they were my family… that they
didn’t love me … that they had all sorts of problems… and just more and more lies…. About my family,
they are sick they are dying … they need money… they are taking this or
that and doing this or that with my
families possessions…. With items my mom had saved for us….
And just as they stole
lives… and hopes and dreams… … just as they stole my mom’s baby-sitting business…or stopped the
etiquette school…. Or stole my faux
painting business… just as they stole possessions she had gathered for her children all over the world… and saved for us…. Even
my baby blanket was stolen…. This is how low and evil they are…
and even though I
pray each and every night… there are too many of them and they are too evil for
just me to fight them…. And I am soo
tired of not living the life I should have had… missing my friends every minute
of every day… and missing my family and my hopes and dreams…. I am so tired of
having to fight a bunch
of horrid people with evil intensions…. When there are more of them and they are so
evil…. And when I pray for miracles… I
can’t see God or his plan in any of it…. …. And I can’t believe that when you
say that all things are known by God… how could he have ever let this happen?…A
God who is my father….. who had a great future planned for me… why couldn’t he
protect me from these criminals… why can’t he protect me from these criminals
now? My dad would never have ever let any of this
happen …. Not the dad who took me to
school in france… and gave me a round trip ticket… so I could go back…. Not the dad who wanted me to have a
great safe condo of my own… or the dad who was my biggest fan… who I got interested in the bible stories on CD….
Even he would never have ever let me or my life be harmed…. And my mom… the
fiercest woman ever …. who protected her children… an loved them and really wanted them to be happy…. And did
everything she could to make that
possible… she would never …. Never
proteted some girl who bullied me…
NEVER…..
and I sure would have never let any of this happen to any of my children… being the victim of identity theft, where my
credit was ruined, nervous breakdown
after being bulled… and then the bully
being protected by the same criminal group who
lied cheated, and stole from my
family… having these criminals go through my
mom’s house and my home and steal each and every year…. And then their
lies… constant lies…. And constant
manipulation…. I have been manipulated for 13 years by a group of people who
think they are God and can do anything
to anyone and get away with it…. And they still do and have…. I am the victim of people lying and harming my life for
their own selfish intent cheating and
stealing from me… I have been harmed on all levels of life……. Had been bullied
to the point of a nervous breakdown…
backer acted three times when I
wished I was dead instead of having to
endure any more abuse… I have had bully mail and emails and
phone calls… I am constantly disappointed in people who pretend to be my
family and friends and only do so to harm my life… I’ve I confided in
people who I thought could
make the criminals stop and instead I was punished…. None of this was
ever in God’s Plan…. I didn’t get
sidetracked.. I didn’t have any problems.. I was living my life and was nice and innocent and sweet… I was happy
and had so many hopes and dreams… for such a great future… and I am saddened that no matter
how much I have prayed I still
feel really alone… and feel that I am surrounded by con-artist
scum…..
Its thirteen years stolen from me… that I cannot get back… I guess I want to
know if you can pray for me ….just a regular real girl… mary Jean Ziska and I
wanted to make sure you had a copy of my
story…. Maybe there are others who
actually do get happily ever after story book lives…with the right
gingerbread man that God has
selected…. I hope so… perhaps next time
I write I can tell you that God finally answered my prayers and protected me…
and that he answered my prayers for that huge financial miracle…. And allowed
me to have the life I was supposed to
have before a bunch of criminal scum ruined everything….. I still hope there is a happily ever
after… but I guess we will have to wait
and see….
I also started two
websites… one on the damage these criminals have done to my life…. ( www.mysearchforjustice.com) and the other which was supposed to be
hopeful light and fun with possible dating stories… ( www.mygingerbreadman.com
)
but instead of funny dating stories and tips some of the blog posts are
where I can put other thought s and even some about the trials and tribulations….. and an overflow of
the website www.mysearchforjustice….
In any case… Please
know that I still love God and believe I
am going to heaven…. I pray each and every day for a better future…. A great
future…. And followed the show where you discussed with oprah about saying … I am….. so I started to say I am a born again child
of God expecting great and wonderful
miracles to happen for me each and every
day…. I am protected from harm, I am blessed, I am a billionaire ( the world just doesn’t know
it yet) I am loved, I am happy, I am successful, I am fulfilling all my hopes and dreams… I am
fulfilling all of my affirmations, I am
restored and blessed so much so I can bless others… I can lend and
not ever have to borrow or go without… I have everything returned and opportunities
, businesses renewed and
successful, …..
So I guess I will see God’s plan for my life I hope it is
great I used to believe it was supposed to be great but now I don’t know….
If you want to use
“my gingerbreadman” story to help inspire people that God does have a plan.. a
perfect plan for their lives… for their futures for happiness
I give you permission….
I thought when I wrote the story that I was supposed to be
that example of how God can have this perfect plan and perfect
person waiting for us.. but maybe since
It never happened for me.. maybe my
purpose was to give the story away… that this story that started off as m y story…. And that
I was hoping would be my story… of happiness and love and God’s
favor…
that instead…. It was
my story to write… but to give it
away to someone who could better pass
along the message that God does love us and want us to be …happy..
Joel, Mr. Osteen….. you have the platform to tell so many
more people about how God fashions us each to be and to have a perfect Gingerbread man or woman….
Thank you for your kind attention to this letter I hope
it reaches you and
you can use my story to help
other people to believe in Christmas miracles…
and God’s love and favor…. I wish I could have been that true example of what would have been possible and
allow people to see God’s goodness and
favor for my entire life…. . I’m sorry that God forgot me for a long while.. and I hope with your prayers he will remember I exist…
Sincerely
Mary Jean Ziska
