Olive Tree Blessings L137

The timing of all things is in God’s Hands, no matter what any other human eludes themselves to believe or tries to get others to believe.

Eric was cleaning out his room on Ash Wednesday and died the next day on Valentine’s Day. That is a prime example of the story that God wanted to tell and therefore has left a lasting eternal ripple of people coming together for the GREATER GOOD.

For Eric’s Promise in 2022 I needed something big for Holy Week to honor him so prayed, waited and trusted. Then God delivered a move to paint for it at the Center for the Homeless in South Bend. I painted a piano in the chapel and they commemorated it with a plaque to honor Eric.

Then, here is the kicker. Everything became connected to Ave Maria, the version sang with the piano.

Then, another kicker. The timing of the painting of the piano was tricky. Someone who was not rooted in God was trying to control the time in which I came in to paint it. She didn’t realize that I was rooted in Heaven and being propelled by Heaven to do this so it became a struggle. Didn’t need to be though. If only she saw the power of God in me and this Act of Faith. She wanted me there at a certain time and I told her, we shall see. I took it to God and this is what transpired.

I asked God – “Do I go at the time that she insisted I go in or do I go get rosaries from the Divine Mercy store first?” The answer was clear. I was moved to get rosaries in Roseland, Indiana first, missing the time slot that she preferred I be there. Since I was already “late” I proceeded to ask God another question. “God, do you want me to go get something to eat first or go paint?” The answer was clear. I was moved to The General to eat.

While there I was deep in saying the rosary and an old friend came along. I immediately gave him a hug and was nervous for I knew the power of this meeting and wanted to make sure I nailed why God had placed us together. Afterall the timing of this was rooted in Divine Mercy, Holy Week, seeking God for the answer and the power of the rosary. I proceeded to simply ask God questions and moved accordingly.

Next I found myself headed to the bathroom and as soon as I saw the friend was moved to give him a high five with my rosary touching his hand. He was immediately moved to remove the Jamaican rosary from his neck and give it to me. He proceeded to tell me about a fundraiser for Jamaica and to go ask the Host of this event if I could live paint for it. I committed to this Act of Faith with all that I was.

Then, and only then, did I go and continue to paint the piano at the Center for Homeless.

After that I responded to the call and went to see the Host of this fundraiser. Immediately asking for the person in charge, said that my friend who they knew, had sent me to request to paint for the fundraiser. While waiting for an answer Ezekiel Chapter 1 appears on their TV, mind you this was on the History channel, in a brewery. The night before, I kid you not, I was moved to read this very Chapter in the Bible for the first time in my life. It is the Vision of God from this Prophet.

Fast forward to the fundraiser. Who do I see while painting? A bunch of children proceeded to come and paint with me and I look down and see a very certain one. I recognized him from pictures but had never seen him before. It was my ex-husband’s child. Then, who do I see? My ex-husband’s other child. I had never met them before and there they were painting with me. The oldest child helped me name the painting Harmony while the other child was wearing a shirt that said Justice.

This painting was then auctioned off for the Fundraiser and the massive ripples of God’s Hand begun. This is the Power of God, timing and prayer. This is the power of me staying in alignment with moving to God and no one else. Not family. Not friends. Not anyone BUT GOD. The rosary.

This is how we are to live.

Don’t ever rush anyone for even just a minute or second as this could change their entire life. Do not put your judgment on them or make up stories about their path. This does not belong in your mouth. Life and death is in the power of the tongue. They may not be able to leave the legacy that they are left to give if you try to change anything about their connection to God. Remember that because God is watching.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.
