That is a long title, right? Well, it has been a long journey to get there and here and everywhere. It is the Faith of a Centurion on a magnitude this world has yet to understand but they are about to step right into it as soon as I click, “Publish.”
People have tried to put me in a box since I was born. We all have that story don’t we. I am talking a box that would limit the Will of God though. Let’s focus on what this means. God created the Earth and the entire galaxy and everything in it beyond and above what we think we know. We know nothing. God knows everything. Let’s start there. That is the beginning of wisdom. That is the beginning of a walk that is full of jaw dropping miracles.
Nature always tells me what I need to know. Nature tells me if I am sage or need to tweak something. Nature tells me if I am safe or if someone has tried to calculate my integrity into a drop of water that can not be used to fill an entire ocean. You see that? Read that again. The energy God has given me is one of Divine Mercy to be used and soley used to help the world move into Love.
One drop of a genuine Act of Faith fills an entire ocean for the world. That is the beauty of the above.
Let’s get right to it. Keep it simple. Share the work and let God do the rest.
My 4-Ever Valentine 2002. This took me about 1,000 hours and is dedicated to my brother Eric who died on Valentine’s Day 2002.
