Divine Intervention (In Haiku)


God's intervention,
A term for a miracle
In the human world.

I prayed for this day
And cried when it came to be -
It touched me deeply.

Coincidences?
Or are they God incidents?
Let your heart decide.

When the preacher spoke
I knew it was God talking
He answered my prayers!

The message was strong!
It reached deep into my heart
Strengthening my faith.

I prayed after church
For an extra ten minutes
Asking for answers.

He responded fast.
That call was answered quickly.
I knew what to do.

I once trusted guys.
Now am committed to Him.
He answers my prayers.

I have seen glory
He has shown me He is Lord
I am second now.

Our relationship
Takes priority in life
And rewards me huge!

Nothing can fill voids
Like the love of Jesus Christ
You must first believe.

He can not be seen
If what you seek is a man
He is a presence.

Within my own heart
The Holy Spirit speaks up,
Leads me through this life.

Prayer - talking to God.
Meditation - listening.
Practice both often.

Amen.

Dreaming of Apples

The other night I had a dream: 

I dreamt of these different apples sitting in a basket on a picnic table.


 There were a few types - like Gala, Red Delicious and Fuji. 

The one I normally prefer is the Fuji, for the sweetness and tartness. 

However, in my dream the one called Fuji was the Red Delicious. 

I remember struggling to try the Red Delicious because it looked like a normal Red Delicious.

But when I woke up, I remember that apple tasting so amazing, 
and juicy and tart that I am still craving one to this day!

I took my dream to mean this:

Sometimes we think we know what we want, 
but the taste left in our mouths is not what we thought we would receive. 

Then, the ones we least expected to taste great are actually what we preferred!

Be open minded.

Unicorns and Butterflies (in haiku)



Try some unicorn!
Increase your daily levels
Of hearts and sparkles.




A caterpillar-
Fantastic, but butterflies,
Metamorpahstic!

The Boss Loves You!


I went to dinner tonight at my best friends' sushi bar and when the bill came it was nearly a full comp. 

The description for the goodwill read, "The Boss Loves You." 


It made me think:
If the "Boss" loves you, then everyone loves you. 

There's no greater love than that of the boss.

He gives purpose, knows how well you're doing your job and is the judge at the end of it all. 


 Point: Do a good job.

Make the boss happy. 
Amen.

Courageous

Just FINALLY watched the movie, " Courageous ,"  and am still drying the tears from my cheeks.

Without telling the whole story, I want to post a copy of the "Resolution" that the fathers in this movie pledged to their families in a ceremony setting.  

The words are moving, inspirational, reassuring, and tremendously positive! 

I hope that if you are a father and you are reading this, you will consider this resolution for yourself and your family. 

Imagine the blessings it will bring to your home life.  

Think about it.

In love,

California vibe - in Haiku


Energy is smooth :) 

Flowing like the ocean breeze

Through swaying palm trees.


Amazing to breathe

The cool, crisp, fresh mountain air

Coming from the east


Driving down the coast

The road humming underneath

Beaches passing by.


The vibes in Cali

Come from many different things

Most from within me ;)

Prayer Works!

"To be disappointed in someone is to have belief in someone. People are human. They are not perfect. Sinners sin. Pray for them," Pastor Miles from the Rock Church in San Diego. Don't waste time worrying about situations and people. Worry is a pack of ravenous wolves - scary and negative. Belief is freedom and liberation from worry. God has a plan and everything is part of that plan. He loves us so much and just wants a relationship with us - one where we are completely humble and servant. He wants our trust to be in Him, not in man. Whatever problem we are facing, talk to Him. PRAY. He will answer. And you will feel better with all that negative energy and weight lifted from your life. Trust God. Judging and preaching to someone isn't the answer. Just love them and treat them equally. Don't judge. That's for Him to do. If you love someone who is hurting themselves or you, pray for God to fill their heart and heal their pain. Pray that God will answer your call and show His love and He will.
