I always say

When the beauty of nature unfolds in front of me, I always say: “You know there’s a God when…..”. In my opinion the creator of each of us is the same. The differences between our beliefs are manmade. How we came to be is all around us, one only need the vision to see it. I always say you know there is a God when you see the beauty if His creation!

The choice is ours

Experiencing the higher power rests squarely on us. Are we receptive? Do we genuinely want to see the beauty? Are we aligning ourselves with the energy that created us and our surroundings? The choice is ours.

Despite what some believe, I feel experiencing all that life has to offer is complex but not difficult. Hidden but in plain sight – if you seek it. Once we chose to invest in the creation and freedom provided to us by the higher power all else will begin to align and fall into place. The choice really is ours.

I always say

Mobile or stagnant


Regardless of the struggle, pain, bitterness or denial that crosses our path, our choice should to be to keep our eyes on the creator and his created bounty for us. Since we are not perfect beings, that is the struggle, the walk of life which is our growth journey; the process that molds us into the person we were destined to be and impacts those that cross our path.

The more we seek, the more we discover, the desire strengthens and our sight becomes clearer (or cloudier) with the choices we make. If you’ve heard “the proof is in the pudding”, our experiences in life can be compared to that. If we choose to let the creator reveal himself, more depth comes to our vision and we gain knowledge, strength as well as insight that turns our inner light on.


Age follows


We are created with a desire to seek, love, trust and prosper. Our creator desires us to follow the path that he has set before us, enabling Him to reveal hisself to us in the provision of all that we desire. How we age depends upon our choices.

Did we:

  • Seek the beauty or become content with the passing of time?
  • Let fear rule our lives or keep our eyes on righteousness?
  • Example the creator instilled instincts or did we stifle them?
  • Were we mobile or stuck in a rut?

The process is a lifetime of learning to love; developing endurance; honoring knowledge; respecting strength and power; literally taking one step forward and two steps back.

The end results

I always say

When we reach the end of our life journey and transition to the everlasting we should have no regrets. Being blessed by our creator we will be:

  • Bent not broken.
  • We will not know the impact we have had on others.
  • We will be humble yet fierce.
  • Protected.
  • There will be a peace in out lives despite the caverns created along the way.
  • Our scars will be beautiful.
  • We will know, without a doubt, who our creator is and his Devine intervention on our behalf.

How does it all begin? Our creator is within each and every one of us. We have to look internally and embrace his will for us. Begin with your fears and seek to replace them with forgiveness. Harness your desires with genuine love and affection. Discipline your life to be humble and steadfast in your beliefs. Accept the set backs and develop strength and power.

Love and enjoy the beauty your creator has made beginning with yourself.
