- So I do have a very personal story.
- We're laughing, confession ready.
(laughter)
- And this stays with me all the time.
- [Holly] The cone of silence right there.
- Okay, so I would say 12 to 15 years ago,
my husband and I were doing some interviews
in a very prominent home in Beverly Hills.
The governor was there, a lot of sheriff type people,
a lot of political type people were there
and I was just kind of staying out of the way,
they were all outside, you know, gathering and stuff
and I was just kinda hanging back with Matt
and he was glad handing the few
but we were shooting television so I just
kinda staying back.
So I'm sitting in the living room, kinda by myself
cause I wasn't really into anything
and I was sitting there and this woman walked in the door
and a lot of you would know who this woman was.
She's, you would know who she was.
And she walked into the living room
and I just looked up and I said hi,
how are you and I just got up real sweet
and shook her hand and when she took my hand,
she just squeezed my hand really hard
and she just looked at me and she said,
aren't you one of those people from TBN
and she just had my hand in a grip
and I was like well,
(laughter)
I said that is my family
but at the time, we didn't work for TBN
and she just took my hand, she said what are you doing here?
And she just threw my hand out of her hand
and I'm so shocked.
- Wow.
- And I was, I mean I was just totally shocked
and someone walked in and she just gracefully
turned around and walked out of the room
and I was just, I just couldn't believe
that someone would have done that, you know,
and I thought, and she did it to me
and I was being so nice.
- You're definitely the sweetest person.
- I can see someone doing that to Holly,
but you.
(laughs)
- And it just shocked me, you know
and so the next day, we were at church
and went out with our pastors and I'm telling them
about this woman and I'm still just so shocked
that this woman did that to me
and I was hurt and I went to sleep that night
and I thought, man I just,
I just need to pray for this lady.
So I started praying for her.
- Oh wow.
- And I'll never forget, I'm telling my pastor's wife
and my pastor's sitting there and I'm just,
and he just so, in such a gentle, sweet manner,
he, not even look at me,
he said well, he said it's amazing what the Lord
will allow to get you over yourself.
(gasps)
(laughs)
I thought wow.
I know I can't get mad at you
but that has stuck with me.
So when things happen,
when things happen, when people say things to me,
that's the first thing that comes to my mind.
Okay, check.
Straighten up, check, it's amazing
because they can't do that without God allowing something.
- Right.
- To be said and so I think,
receiving tough love,
you have to check yourself and you can't get mad,
you have to go okay,
now was that for me to really take into my heart
and receive or was that just ugly?
- Yeah.
- You know and mean, but I think,
I don't know, it kinda changed,
it's always stuck with me when stuff happens,
it's like well, it's amazing what the Lord
will allow to get over yourself.
