One day I drove past a construction zone, and a forklift sliced through the roof of my Honda Civic…
Not only was my car totaled, but I lost my home, all my money, all my clients, another car 🍋, and my relationship with my best friend at the time. Oh, and debt collectors were calling me and I made a bad investment. All within a few weeks.
I often refer to this period of time as my first direct, undeniable experience of God.
In the time following the forklift incident, I continued to couch surf and spent my time in continual prayer and meditation. And I mean… 6-8 hours of meditation per day. Where most people would have pounded pavement, I chose to depend solely on God. 🕊️
As quickly as God removed everything from my life, he rebuilt it and added interest…
Within a month of my persistent meditation & prayer I received a check for $12,000, a new home, a new job, a car, and a new career path. (My work today would not exist had I not been redirected).
I also know that my relationship with God would not be what it is today had I not been able to witness the speed in which God can rebuild and replenish.
The only thing I know for sure is I wouldn’t have been able to make all that happen, that fast, through action alone… I am certain my decision to seek God is what allowed so many miracles to occur so quickly.
So… yes, God is kind of a big deal, and that’s also why the focus of my work is connection to this divine, omnipresent source of love. The more you know!
PS: this is a gentle reminder that Church closes this Wednesday 12/20 (and likely won’t be open again until Summer 2024).
