The gold coin is found !!!

3/19/2017

I wrote this post a while ago about us picking up money on the street (read here) I had used that opportunity to educate my kids about God's promises and how he always deliver them. This afternoon, on our way back from the park, my son picked a gold coin at the carpark. He was thrilled and I was happy and felt blessed by the grace of God, once more. After my daughter had picked 30cents under the bridge, I told her to increase the amount and ask God to bless her with a dollar. 

A few times when I sent her to school , she shared that she was still waiting for God to deliver but did not receive it. She wanted it to be this day or that day. So again, I shared with her my experiences , recalling this great bible verse - “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Mark 13.32
 
God's way is higher than our way and he decides today is the day for the gold coin to be revealed. She was a little disappointed as it was not her who found the money but her brother. I told her we are a family and the money still stay in the family. Maybe, she is too young to understand or I need further wisdom from God to educate myself and her later. Why did God allow the brother to find it and not her, I too pondered on this question?

If she attach deeper meaning to owning the gold coin and she truly wants it, I am sure God will manifest it for her one day. That I have no doubts at all. From another perspective, sometimes, the dreams and goals we want are achieved through close friends that we know. We wondered why God answered his or her prayers but not ours. We felt unhappy, blaming God for being unfair and loving the other more than us. 

I do not see it this way. Could God be sending a signal to us ,reminding us that if this goal is still important to us? Do we really, really want it so badly? Having it manifest through someone we know and seeing his or her excitement and joy of possessing it, does it invoke some feelings within us? 

Upon reflection, I still have many unfulfilled goals that I keep on praying to God for. I too see it , read about it and sometimes wonder why does he or she have this same goal of mine and are already enjoying the fruits of it while I am still yearning for it, waiting patiently/impatiently for it? 

Lord, help me to stay in your path and listen to your words only. Block out the noises that infiltrate my mind, remove these excesses that attempts to separate you and me, destroy the evil that wants me to follow his way and not yours. Give me courage to fight the battle of faith, solidify my stance in faith foundation, not wavering but rock solid. Cast out the false prophets that disguise as you to help me in achieving these dreams. Reveal the truth to me that I not be cheated, conned or swayed by them, heading to the wrong path but hold me firmly in your arms that I stay close to you, lean on you and absorbing all the goodness of you. Overflow my cup that I have so much to share with my loved ones, protect them and bring forth your message to them and may they never be tempted in any other ways.

Than you Father for your continuous blessing. Your grace is sufficient for me.

Since my last few posts about being lucky, I have been consciously on the lookout for signs and wonders that will befall upon me. Then again, timing is always on God's side. It has been a few days but pretty much nothing happened until today.
I am not disappointed but in full expectancy of receiving it. Guess there is an element of truth when they say luck is when preparation meets an opportunity. 

This morning, while on my way to work, I spotted a 20cent coin in the drain and like an experienced coin picker, I automatically bend one leg into the drain and pick up the dry coin, happily tucking into my pocket. I find it amazing that God's timing can be so perfect. What if I had taken the cross over bridge and I would probably have missed it , wouldn't I ? 
Why at the particular timing , that spot ? What happened to so many people who passed it by each day? Did they not spot it like I do ? Still, I am convinced "I had" picked up a $10 note and the first thing I did was to text my wife, "Honey, look how great God is to me. I picked $10 today!!“But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Mark 13:32 
Another thing happened this morning as well. Since changing my diet to a near vegetarian style, I have discovered I had more energy than before, sleep less and always hungry for more food. I was attending a parenting session and the trainer whom had seen me several times since last year commented that I looked radiant.

I remembered clearly I jot down these exact words in one of my goals list. The words I would hear would be :You look radiant. Oh my god, I almost blushed as I wasn't expecting such a compliment at all. Not forgetting I went cold turkey to quit my coffee, dairy products and meat all at one go. Imagine if you had been taking chicken (my favourite) for so many years and suddenly, drop it immediately. No withdrawal symptoms of any kind and I felt lighter and healthier as well. 

In other words, WHAT we need to do is to be clear what we want in life. State it positively, Feel it as if it is already in our possession (money in the hand, bank account, compliment from someone, etc) and repeat it day, noon and night. Let the emotions run high - excited, happy, relieved, peaceful, etc. Let it overwhelm you so much that because it had happened, the problems you are facing now is gone. And if the problems is gone, would you still be whining and complaining? 

Would your face not put on a smile, feel light hearted or simply feel peaceful things are going the way it is ?
