Hello everyone,
May 8 I celebrated my 55th Birthday. There was no balloons, Banners or party, but there was plenty of reflection. I believe the humble and meek of the World will inherit this world. As I reflect on this incredible Journey I think of all the set backs, trials, Deaths and two failed relationships and four amazing kids. I reflect on two great parents that raised me right with love. As a child I never got yelled at or spanked and to this date I have never drank or tasted alcohol, smoked or did any kind of drug in my entire life. As I reflected I asked how can someone come back from three bankruptcies, 15 foreclosures on homes and 9 car reposed , 2 failed relationships and many bad decisions on my part? I concluded there is only one way to get back on my feet RECLAIM MY LIFE!
How do we do that? When I travel I pack my bags neatly then once I do that I place tags on my luggage with my name on them. Why? so I can reclaim them once i reach my destination and get my bags. As I reflect on this magnificent journey of mine I believe God placed me in these trials to be able to reclaim my life back. He has given me the knowledge and wisdom to know the difference between what I can change and what I cannot change. State of mind-I can, relationship status-I can, Finances-I can and how I feel and react to life-I can change that.
We as human beings have learned to blame others for our mistakes and misery we need to know that the length of the storm depends on our attitude. yet I know that it's easier to blame others and not take responsibility. The difference between pain and suffering is pain is what happens in our lives, we all go trough that. Suffering is how long we allow that pain to stay in our lives Then we become a nation of whiners not winners. spelled almost the same but worlds apart in significance. Why do some people Win while others lose its all about the attitude we hold, what our sub-conscious mind holds dear. A whiner will always say why me? why does everything happen to me? Why can I win just once? Why cant I ever get a break? When will it be my turn? While a winner will say. Why me I am so blessed. I wish I could share my wealth with others. Is it my turn to win again? I need a Break from all this work, thank you. Words my sound the same but they are truly Worlds apart.
One group Living in Gratitude the other Living in Poverty. Funny thing, you decide what Group that you reside in by your actions and your habits you do every day.
They even have a name for it THE LAW OF ATTRACTION.
what ever you continuously think about you will manifest in your life, Think bad thoughts about yourself and others you will attract bad situations.
Think positive thoughts about your life, future, friends and others. Great things will happen in your life. The choice is yours. choose to believe or not believe its on you. You and your loved ones will live the life that you believe in. You can either say I can or I cant either way you will always be right.
God wants you to reclaim your life with your inheritance your name is already on the warehouse of Gifts he has for you. Jesus wants to give you his very best. Are you willing to receive it?
Your Life and reward is here for the asking, you just need to ask, knock and seek.
Thank you Jesus for being the best father I could ever hope for. May your name be proclaim through out the land.

Stroke of luck
Hello everyone,
Always around my birthday I experienced life defining
moments. We all have those forks in the road when no matter what you do, go
straight, right or left your life will never be the same. I didn't hit a brick
wall or a bump on the road of life. I truly got hit by a stroke of luck.
Yet this time I did not ask why? All my life I have heard
how lucky I am. In school I could absorb all the information and get good
grades with out trying. My retention by absorbing information paid off well in
the working world. Bosses have always
liked me yet I'm the most confrontational person you will find, I figure if your doing a great job people
should leave you alone. You see I had luck which to my interpretation is Labor Under Correct Knowledge. I would study
people that excel at their careers then I would copy them. I owe my whole
career to many leaders that took the time to teach me their craft. Yet through
this time my most important lesson by the greatest leader of our time had yet
to be thought. My lesson stroke of luck, had to be taught by the greatest
teacher that ever lived.
March 24, 2014 started like any other day. I woke up early
had several appointments throughout the day. As I was taking my daughter to
school every time I would walk I would lean to left as I took my daughter to
school it seem to get worse. As the day
progress it got worse finally I went to see the doctor in 5 minutes she gives
me her diagnosis. In a calm voice she
utters " don't panic Mr. Hernandez
but your suffering a stroke I already called 911" those words she said
resonated in my head and it's if the world stood still everything went
silent. Paramedics took me to the
hospital which would be my home for the next 16 days. During that time is when
I witnessed real friends rise while others fell into the abyss. As I arrived at
the hospital everyone in the staff from the start to the finish were friendly
and professional. As I went through all
these test specially the MRI a test where you have to be still for 45 minutes
which seems like a lifetime. I was deep
in prayer with my Master asking if the talent he gave me to inspire people did
I use it to the best of my ability. As I
was praying I saw my first daughter Tiffany being born then I saw my twins
being born Justin and Jason I remembered my grandmother dying my brother being killed, my father and mother
dying then my Genesis being born. The most amazing thing about this experience
I wasn't mad at anybody I had complete peace. Keep in mind that throughout my
lifetime I have said and done things I'm not proud of and other people have
done unbelievable things to me yet I had no regrets and I was at complete peace
with everyone. I kept praying for the
future of my Genesis I knew everyone else would be alright if anything were to
happen to me. As the test was nearly complete I heard the voice of the
technician "Mr Hernandez we are almost done your doing great." As I
got out of that capsule I prayed to Jesus it's all up to you now. But I noticed
for the first time in my life I wasn't angry or bothered with what
happened. I took in stride and waited
for the Master to guide me. As the day progress I got worse, by the second day
I was struggling to swallow food. I could not stand and my mind was dizzy and
confused. As I lay ed in the hospital bed I thought about all the people I had
a chance to meet and fortunate enough to call them my friends. My life was
playing in my mind like a movie and as I watched I came to realize what a
wonderful life I had lived extreme highs and valley lows. Funny thing when God
tells you to slow down and he gives you the time to slow down you really get an
opportunity to praise, pray and worship him, Jesus. During my stay I prayed for God to show me if
the talent he gave me If I used it wisely to honor his Kingdom. That old saying be careful what you pray
for. People from all over the country
shared with me how I had impacted their life and how blessed they were for
meeting me. My heart melted it felt great to
be appreciated and loved. By people that I respect for their
contribution to our society.
I remember four years ago when I went through my family separation and felt empty inside, a very close spiritual brother named JW Smith counseled me during a dark period of my life. He had just came back from Africa where his wife is royalty and he showed me pictures of these elaborate tree houses where the wealthy stay overlooking the Serengety . Then he showed me these pictures of these tribesmen, it's like I went back 250 years. As JW continued talking he explain to me while these wealthy people enjoy the wild, these fearless warriors stayed below at the base of the tree. To protect the people in the tree houses against anything wild that can harm them. Armed with their spears ,weapons and courage to protect the people against anything that could harm them. I will always remembered that story very powerful. As I reflect on the story I think when we are going through dark trials in our life I believe God places us in that tree house that sanctuary to shelter us from harm and sends an army of everyday people armed with spiritual weapons, courage and faith to protect us from anything wild or evil that would try to harm us. The warriors have been sent by God all we need is faith of a mustard seed. Funny thing about a mustard seed it's the smallest seed created by God yet with faith that small you can move mountains. It's ok to ask why you are going through a storm just don't lose faith in the process. Because all things work out for the good for those that believe. Have faith and all this shall pass.
God's cake recipe it's
takes different ingredients to make a cake, you need flour, eggs, baking soda,
cooking oil and of course an oven. Have you ever tried those ingredients raw?
There all horrible one by one you try them they make you sick. Just like going
thru these trials one by one their horrible.
if you have the patience to wait mix them all together they taste
delicious. When God allows us to get
involved in the kitchen we want to prepare the cake the way we know how and
that always creates a bigger mess. This is the first time I didn't question a
single thing and allowed God to cook in my kitchen in the process he brought my
sister Alma who I had not spoken to in 16 years. He brought back great friends
that we both had lost contact with. The most amazing thing he brought back my
oldest daughter Tiffany from a four year silence. It truly was a Stroke of Luck now I keep getting
closer to him asking the Master Architect what's next in my chapter of life. I
anxiously await his response. I don't
want to be the Master Chef any more I will settle for the kitchen helper. I
guess I am lucky......
LUCKY.......
·
To be alive
·
To be love by my
saviour Jesus
·
To be loved by family
and friends
·
To be appreciated by
people
On second thought not lucky just Blessed
Thank you Jesus for never giving
up on me and thank you for striking my life with your rod as to break my leg
and stopping Satan from making me a rack of lamb. May your name Jesus be
exalted from every mountain top.
Your humble servant

Best Friend passing through
Today I was sitting in my office and had to put my thoughts on paper. Last Saturday I heard disturbing news, a friend of mine passed away a special relationship that started back in 1989. A friend that, made such an impact on my personal as much as my business life. We all meet some people that are different than all the other relationships we have encountered in our Life. This person had that impact on many, not just my life. Being in sales and network marketing I have met literally thousands of people from all walks of life and different races with all types of economical circumstances and I have never met anyone like this man. His life has to be talked about.
I met Ruben Ramirez at Fontana Nissan in 1989, In retrospect I had the pleasure to work with two of the most dynamic people in the Auto Industry, One was our G.M. Charlie Tuttle and my G.S.M. Ken Ross. I was about to meet the most talented human being that I ever encountered in my 20 years in The Auto Industry. It was a busy Thursday at our store we had 14 cars out by 2:00 pm and a sharp Individual came in with the gaudiest Gold bracelet I had ever seen. I was a Closer at the time and asked him if he needed help, He politely said no and introduced himself as Ruben Ramirez. As I saw Charlie and Ken coming in, they greeted Ruben and took him upstairs for a two hour interview. When they were upstairs I remember telling another Closer by the name of Chris, this guy Ruben is a closer and they are going to replace one of the four closers. Chris just smiled and said we are safe don’t worry about it, Chris had been a closer for 11 years he was a veteran. I didn’t think much about Ruben we were busy I just kept working, I saw Ruben leave he said goodbye and left the Dealership. The next day Charlie was having a meeting with all the Closers, one by one they were letting them go, I was next, as Charlie began to talk to me he said "Fidel you know you are one of my favorite employees" I had dominated the sales floor for the last 12 months and Charlie had promoted me to Closer for 3 months. He continued to speak and he explained how they wanted this guy Ruben to come and work at our store but in order to do that I had to step down as a Salesman to make room for him because in order for Ruben to come to our store he wanted only two teams, that meant only two Closers. As I heard Charlie explained further he had fired the other Closers but he wanted me to stay. Charlie told me if I wanted I could work with Chris, keep my Demo and he felt I would be more comfortable with Chris because I knew him for a year. As I thought about my decision, I explained to Charlie how much I respected him and his decision but instead of Chris I would work for Ruben. Charlie asked me why? Here was my response. "Two of the most respected car people I know just got closed to go to two teams and alter the Closer's pay plan. I know I can learn something from this man" Charlie laughed and said "Kid you will go a long way in this Business".
The first meeting there were 17 Salesman in a broken down building in Fontana A.C. not working and in comes Ruben Ramirez, sharp dressed his meeting was quick he said "I only have one rule turn everybody, you can go to lunch for as long as you want, come in late, leave the lot when ever you want, I don’t care, just turn everybody because I can close anybody. Let’s ballooned the lot, let’s get to work." Then as people got up he said "Fidel stay here, I need to talk to you." As everyone left I was amazed it was not the typical meeting. As Ruben spoke he asked all kinds of questions, then he reached in his wallet and said "I have a proposition for you, Work as hard as you can and the best month you had as a closer I will beat it by three thousand dollars. To show you how serious I am, Here is $2,000 if I don’t beat your best month as a closer you can keep this money." I was shocked, the best month as a Closer for me was $14,000, that month with Ruben as my closer I made $25,000. Needless to say I had to give him his money back, when I tried he refused and told me to use the money to buy two good suits. I did not know how to dress for success till I met Ruben, In essence he bought my first two suits. When I do events I often get complimented on the way I dress, thanks again. Ruben once told me you need to dress the way you want to be addressed.
Through the years we worked together at only four stores Fontana Nissan, West Covina Toyota, Moreno valley Toyota and Massey Chevrolet. But his mentoring of me never stopped he continued to Educate me in Sales techniques and perspectives in Life. At all the stores he worked at, I visited him often, Ruben was always upbeat and great to be around. He always made you feel good. No matter what he was going through. I remember years back I heard he was in an Automobile Accident a bad one, When I went to see him he was on this machine were he was lying face down as I tryed to make him feel better I explained to him that God spared his life for a reason. As I told him various stories about our Deals through out the years to make him laugh he got serious, a side I had never seen before and he cried. He told me what great friend I was and said " Fidel what if I never walk again, I wouldn't be able to walk with Larry on the beach and play catch with him and walk along the side of him." As he cried I saw the fear of what he was saying. I tried to comfort him to no avail. Larry his son meant everything to him. He would beam when ever he would talk about what Larry had done or was about to do. Ruben was extremely proud of his son he was his Universe. I went to visit Ruben a few more times in the hospital until they dismiss him. Ruben made it and was able to walk and enjoy his Family. He was able to walk again by the miracle I call Jesus Christ.
Through the years I always stayed in contact with Ruben because he was always showing his craft to others that wanted to master the art of Closing. A few times he would ask me to speak to some of his Salesman or managers to keep them upbeat. When I left the Auto Industry I was running a Nissan store making good money, I joined a Network Marketing Company. Everyone in my circle of influence made fun me they thought I was dumb for giving up a good career in The Auto Industry and joining this Company. All but Ruben, he encouraged me to pursue my path he told me that I was one of the most talented individuals he had managed. Not only did he encourage me he also supported me, he was the first person to give me my first Corporate Account with my new Company and nine others, Thank you Ruben, Because of your help I made more money in nine years than I had made in 15 years working for someone else.
The last time I talked to Ruben he was a GSM at Redlands Toyota we spoke for 20 minutes and said how we needed to get together for lunch and catch up. Unfortunately that lunch never came, we as adults continue to make plans not ever knowing when our time is expired. You see Jesus knew when his time would expire, he knew the kiss of Judas would be the signal to arrest him, he knew at the last supper, who would betray him. Yet in all his Glory and love he still fed all his disciples and washed their feet, including those of the traitor. Why is LOVE mentioned over 310 times in the Bible. I believe it's because God wanted us to love one another the way he loved us. That’s why Jesus, is the only way to heaven, Agape love, the ultimate Love the love from God. For who so ever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. As for my Best Friend Ruben I pray he reached out to his best friend Jesus before his Life expired, because I guarantee you this, Jesus was waiting for him to ask. In our trials and tribulations when we ask, Where Is God because we don’t see him, Believe this he sees you when all hope is gone because He is right next to you, weeping for the pain your going through. Waiting for us to ask him, to enter our lives so he may be our best friend. Ruben showed a tremendous amount of love to me and others I witness his passion for his craft how he loved sharing his knowledge with people on how to master a crazy business. He showed me compassion, tutoring and mentorship that will always remain in my heart and in the hearts of many for ever. That's where great friends should be, in our Hearts till we pass on to a greater life, Ruben so long, it's not goodbye for I have faith I will see you again my dear friend, You will be missed. Until we see each other again. The Earth Team will never be the same they lost a great Player and Coach.

Angel of Light
Hello Everyone,
God has blessed me with 49 years on this Beautiful Earth. As I reflect on this incredible journey, Through Success, Failures, Family issues, Death of loved ones, Financial issues, Health issues and failed relationships and places I have traveled through, 47 States of this Beautiful Country of ours and some of the most exotic parts of the World, literally met thousands of people from all walks of life and different races. I feel Blessed to have my inner circle of friends, people that truly make this a better World to live in. As I reflect on all these unique individuals I must write about someone that has made an immense impact on my Life. She Reminds me of this poem I read 25 years ago,
"Some people walk in our Life and exit quickly,
Others enter our Life and stay for a while,
While others walk in our Life and leave an impact on our Destination,
that remains in our Heart for ever."
God put it best when he said in Genesis 1:3-4 "Then God said let there be light" and there was light and God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.
I believe our problems in Life are affiliated with darkness and God places light to shine our path out of the darkness, yet we are so stubborn we are not aware we are in darkness, it doesn't matter we are bumping into things or falling over obstacles, we believe we will be okay in the darkness. Yet with out light, plants, grass,trees and flowers don't grow, and with out God's light we don't grow either, we become stagnant. We need to understand that as living organism we cannot stand still in darkness, with out spoiling or worse dying in darkness.
Light is magnificent, sunny skies not a cloud in sight some would call it Heaven. Light allows for all the colors of the rainbow to shine brightly. I wouldn't want to exist in a World with out Light. I was fortunate enough to go on an Alaska cruise about 12 years ago for a month. During the time I went it never got dark, there was light all day and night, I loved it!
There our angels of Light that walk in our Lives and create such a Wonderful impact on our destiny, even when there not around they make us smile. This person is one of the special people in my Life that through the darkness, I have experience in the last year, has helped me to cope with some of the doubts and betrayal I felt that came, from a trusted source. I met her Miss C. 9 years ago at a Dealership I did some work for. At first it was Hi and Bye. Then she would come down and talk to me about different issues about her life, at the time I was doing very well and I was happy to assist her with my time. I made myself available when ever she needed to talk. Am I glad I was a good friend to her. Never in my wildest imagination would I have seen what was coming in my life and the problems I would have to face. God saw everything coming he is omni-present he sees in the present the future and in between. Thank you Father God for placing her in my life. Truly an Angel of Light, through the nine years I have known her I wish I loved people the way she does, she goes out of her way to babysit friends kids out of her way for Birthday and actually thinks about what to buy her friends for their Birthday's and Christmas.
The old saying "it's not the gift that counts it's the thought that counts" I never understood till I met her. She has unbelievable patience for friends that in my opinion take a little advantage of her, yet with her nothings changes she remains the same Faith full to her beliefs. I have watched her pray for people, help others in need and not once ever wanted something in return except true friendship. Through my darkness, I forgot this wonderful person's Birthday I was so involved with my darkness and feeling sorry for my self, I forgot to pay respect for the day she was created. For that I am so sorry, because I want you to know that I thank God the day you where born and with out you and the help of God himself I might not have gotten out of the darkness I was in. Just as a personal note to you I will never forget again, Because your Birth should always be celebrated. Now I can list all the things Miss C. has done for me and my Family but this blog would be 20 pages long. It's not suffice to just say thank you, but here goes, "THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE IN MY LIFE, YOU WILL REMAIN IN MY HEART FOR EVER YOUR LIFE MATTERS IN MINE"
John 3:15 No one has greater love, than to lay down his own life for his friends
This Angel of light Miss C., is this type of friend, "I would lay down my life for her. She makes this Grey World a colorful and spectacular place, for her being a part of the human race and everyone she touches have better lives because of her attitude and spirit about Life and God.
Now God has placed Angels of light in your life to get out of the darkness, look for them they will guide you out. God also has placed warriors in your life to fight the spiritual fight with you and defeat the enemy. Once again, with God for you who can possibly be against you. We have been anointed with Victory that was paid at the Cavalry Cross through Jesus himself, your life was paid for with a ransom blood of a sacred Life, Jesus the perfect lived life. Listen to God's voice his always guiding his sheep towards the light for the sheep that hear his voice and knock, he will come in and start a relationship of love and light. Do not let the enemy fool you and blind you, there is light after the darkness and the light is so beautiful you will never want to live in darkness again. Father God I worship and praise you for the Angels of light and warriors you have placed in my life to free me from bondage of the enemy and darkness, I love the light of your being, in Jesus name I speak Light to everyone that will hear your voice, amen.
Yours in Success,
Fidel

While others walk in our Life and leave an impact on our Destination,
that remains in our Heart for ever."
God put it best when he said in Genesis 1:3-4 "Then God said let there be light" and there was light and God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.
I believe our problems in Life are affiliated with darkness and God places light to shine our path out of the darkness, yet we are so stubborn we are not aware we are in darkness, it doesn't matter we are bumping into things or falling over obstacles, we believe we will be okay in the darkness. Yet with out light, plants, grass,trees and flowers don't grow, and with out God's light we don't grow either, we become stagnant. We need to understand that as living organism we cannot stand still in darkness, with out spoiling or worse dying in darkness.
Light is magnificent, sunny skies not a cloud in sight some would call it Heaven. Light allows for all the colors of the rainbow to shine brightly. I wouldn't want to exist in a World with out Light. I was fortunate enough to go on an Alaska cruise about 12 years ago for a month. During the time I went it never got dark, there was light all day and night, I loved it!
There our angels of Light that walk in our Lives and create such a Wonderful impact on our destiny, even when there not around they make us smile. This person is one of the special people in my Life that through the darkness, I have experience in the last year, has helped me to cope with some of the doubts and betrayal I felt that came, from a trusted source. I met her Miss C. 9 years ago at a Dealership I did some work for. At first it was Hi and Bye. Then she would come down and talk to me about different issues about her life, at the time I was doing very well and I was happy to assist her with my time. I made myself available when ever she needed to talk. Am I glad I was a good friend to her. Never in my wildest imagination would I have seen what was coming in my life and the problems I would have to face. God saw everything coming he is omni-present he sees in the present the future and in between. Thank you Father God for placing her in my life. Truly an Angel of Light, through the nine years I have known her I wish I loved people the way she does, she goes out of her way to babysit friends kids out of her way for Birthday and actually thinks about what to buy her friends for their Birthday's and Christmas.
The old saying "it's not the gift that counts it's the thought that counts" I never understood till I met her. She has unbelievable patience for friends that in my opinion take a little advantage of her, yet with her nothings changes she remains the same Faith full to her beliefs. I have watched her pray for people, help others in need and not once ever wanted something in return except true friendship. Through my darkness, I forgot this wonderful person's Birthday I was so involved with my darkness and feeling sorry for my self, I forgot to pay respect for the day she was created. For that I am so sorry, because I want you to know that I thank God the day you where born and with out you and the help of God himself I might not have gotten out of the darkness I was in. Just as a personal note to you I will never forget again, Because your Birth should always be celebrated. Now I can list all the things Miss C. has done for me and my Family but this blog would be 20 pages long. It's not suffice to just say thank you, but here goes, "THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE IN MY LIFE, YOU WILL REMAIN IN MY HEART FOR EVER YOUR LIFE MATTERS IN MINE"
John 3:15 No one has greater love, than to lay down his own life for his friends
This Angel of light Miss C., is this type of friend, "I would lay down my life for her. She makes this Grey World a colorful and spectacular place, for her being a part of the human race and everyone she touches have better lives because of her attitude and spirit about Life and God.
Now God has placed Angels of light in your life to get out of the darkness, look for them they will guide you out. God also has placed warriors in your life to fight the spiritual fight with you and defeat the enemy. Once again, with God for you who can possibly be against you. We have been anointed with Victory that was paid at the Cavalry Cross through Jesus himself, your life was paid for with a ransom blood of a sacred Life, Jesus the perfect lived life. Listen to God's voice his always guiding his sheep towards the light for the sheep that hear his voice and knock, he will come in and start a relationship of love and light. Do not let the enemy fool you and blind you, there is light after the darkness and the light is so beautiful you will never want to live in darkness again. Father God I worship and praise you for the Angels of light and warriors you have placed in my life to free me from bondage of the enemy and darkness, I love the light of your being, in Jesus name I speak Light to everyone that will hear your voice, amen.
Yours in Success,
Fidel

Prayer For Peace
Hello Everyone,
First thing that comes to my mind today is, all the suffering that's around the World with natural disasters. I hear People say, "Where is God" They say "If there was a God, why is he allowing all this suffering. The news comes with these horrific images of all the Death and devastation from these natural disasters, earthquakes,tidal waves and tsunamis. We see Images of people and buildings rocked to their core. Why? Just when you think is all over another disaster hits with more magnitude, as a Life Coach it breaks my heart, to see so much suffering in the World.
We are all seeking answers. Yet we are not asking the right question. With knowledge comes a great deal of responsibility. To apply the knowledge and share it with a World that is suffering and hungry for the truth. First what is the question. As far as I can remember from the business and personal world everyone wants to know their Purpose.
Why am I here?
Why am I going through this?
What is my Mission?
Before we can get that answer, we must first read the owners manual to our Life.
When ever we purchase any electronic device we always read the owners manual to set up the device, so we may operate it properly. Yet our life that is more complex than anything we have ever purchase, we put the manual away and some of us don't even have one, so can we read it. Who would know more about your purpose than the one that created it you. He left a manual for us to read, so we may find the purpose we were created it for.
The Manual, Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (BIBLE). A blueprint for living your purpose driven life. Instructions by the ultimate Teacher on how to live on this Earth according to his will. It's sounds so simple, read,comprehend apply the knowledge and share it with others. We have already tried the World's way, write down short, medium and long term goals. Write a daily list of ten things to do. Read books on self development. Go to self development classes all these things are great if you mix solid Biblical principles along with that. If you think about this Prophets spoke over 300 prophecies of Jesus birth, life and Death. So much has been written about his existence, isn't he worth reading about. If you are like me, I have tried everything, yet everything pales in comparison to his written word. Even if you don't believe, it makes compelling reading, the stories are fascinating.
They say life expectancy is 75 years old, yet this man they called Jesus lived only 30 percent of that and he is and always will be the most talked about human being that has ever lived. Where he walked is considered Holy land, His Birthplace is visited by more visitors than any other place. Nations fight over the land he was born in. Now we go back, What is the Question?
What is our Purpose, Why are we here? Start Reading and find out.
If you're like me, "I want to know the Truth." Can you handle the truth?
If you don't have what you want out of life, Stop investing in the flesh, Invest in the Spirit. Our life is but a minute, Eternity is for ever. We all want our Life and Family to have a purpose, for our life to matter. For our life to echo in Eternity. Live a life, rich in Spirit and meaning. Make a difference in the World we live in,the world we have been sown in. Then all you have to do is Change your surroundings to accommodate your Purpose.
The World is grieving in pain from Economic, Natural, Man and Women made disasters. It's our Duty as believers to pray for Peace and hope for a World that is Dying slowly. Prayer makes a difference. Just know that God has a plan for you, no matter where your at in Life, He has a purpose for you. You might not be able to see God, but I promise you, he can see you, He will restore your life to it's original purpose. He will send the Red Cross, Fema and every form of Emergency help to assist you in your time of disaster. I know that his mercy and help has assisted me during my darkest hour and he continues to bring support all around me, with Friends family and outside sources and know this "I don't deserve anything he does for me", Jesus just gives based on his love and mercy that he has for you and me. Pray for a peaceful Nation, Pray for a Hopeful World and pray for Leaders to make the right decisions. Together we can make a difference with prayer. keep on praying. Be the difference you want in the World. Pray for Peace in the heart of the World. God Bless you and yours always.

Super Heroes Live among us
Hello everyone,
This year has been incredible, I have lived on this Earth for forty eight years and in my humble opinion it has been my hardest 12 months in my life. That being said I am grateful for a living God that has never forsake me or left me during my time of need. During my time of suffering God continues to show me how much he loves me.
Towards the end of the year I reflect on the last 12 months that comprise what we call a year and what makes our life worth living. I am very public about my struggles because I feel someone might read one of my Blogs and it would inspire them to live another hour, day,months or years. I pray that my inspirational writings gives someone hope. During December along with my Financial, Family and personal situations, I have experienced some health issues. I began to ask God if he could lift some issues off my plate, I felt I was experiencing to many issues all at once. Then God's hand, showed me in abundance all the seeds of friendship, I had planted through out my 48 years on this Earth. They came to fruition in Dec. 20010. We all know as believers the reason for Christmas is Jesus, the World needed a sacrificial lamb, unblemished to take the sins of the World, the ultimate Super hero. For that I will always be Eternally grateful. Because of his Gift{Sacrifice} we are saved. God Uses people on Earth to deliver miracles every day to people that are in need of hope, around the World. God uses people to deliver his message of hope and faith Through these amazing people, I call Super heroes.
Fictional Super Heroes come from all over. Aquaman, Spyder man, Batman, Batwomen,Captain America,Flash, Hulk and Superman. My favorite has always been Superman because Superman unlike the others is a real Superhero, he was born with all these powers even the blanket they place him in is indestructible. He actually has and alter ego Clark Kent so he can fit in to our society. Yet under neath that Business suit he wears, he has his suit of armor,with super powers to protect the World from evil. His only weakness Kryptonite, it makes Superman weak.
Now there are Humans among us who do not wear capes or fancy custom es yet they are as powerful as a Super Hero. I would like to tell you about two of them, The 1st George, when you meet him he is very like able, he is friendly has a radiant smile and is always politically correct. His profession, Manages Auto Dealerships. One of the hardest business to manage. George comes in contact with hundreds of people a year. I had the opportunity to work for George for five years. During my tenure with him I had the chance to become his friend and experience his personally in public and private. What you see with George is what you get. I have been in the Auto Industry for 19 years along with Network Marketing for 10 years I have met thousands of people and never met an individual that cares more about the People he manages and the clients he services than George. On many occasions he knew certain people that needed help, and not once did he ever turn his back on his people, Because of his kind nature. I know that the last three years he has suffered a great deal of stress over what the Economy is doing to his Industry and his people. After I left George and I have always stayed in contact, and we have created a great friendship that will endure through Eternity. I know what your thinking. What makes him so special? The fact that he actually cares about people, it's not an act. He actually cares what happens to people and customers. On more than one occasion he corrected what ever problem arose with his Employee's or customers. The Auto Industry is one of the hardest Businesses to keep Employee's. George's retention is unbelievable people have been with him for over 20 years, and not just one, but many. His leadership skills are worth knowing and people stay because it's a great place to work. The Auto Industry is a cut trought Business, yet Under his Guidance he keeps it like any other Business clean and fun. He might not wear a cape, have special weapons or a special belt, But underneath his Business suit, he truly is a Super hero. I ask when you pray, to pray for this wonderful man and his Family that he remain in a position of influence where he can make a difference, Because George Makes this World a Better place to live.
My other Hero Jon, from Arkansas. He was visiting this Christmas and we went to see a movie together. Every time he comes in to town he always calls and we get together. I became friend with Jon several years ago. He use to work with me at a Dealership. He has been in Arkansas for 6 years. When I went to visit him along with working 70 hours a week at a Dealership he will volunteer to assist when these eye storms hit. If you think this rain we have had is allot,eye storms sweep cars off driveways, move homes and flood whole towns. When one of these hit, Jon and some volunteers he gathers go out in the middle of the night after working 12 hours and go through debris and undriveable roads to save people and their prize possessions. In some instances Jon explain to me that officers in those areas refuse to let them in the disaster areas and Jon pleads with them to let them help. Imagine that your tired from work its pouring rain by the buckets, you load your truck with supplies and someone turns you away. A Hero never gives up, you stay your course, your there to help. When any disaster hits around Jon he is always there. Along with fighting for his people to not be laid off in this economy. He finds housing for homeless people along with feeding them. Jon has done many things for me and my family through out the years and me and Jon and Stephanie his wife will be friends for ever.
The two people I described to you are my Super Heroes. Keep them both in your prayers, ask that they remain in a position of influence, so they may change their Industry for the better. Because they are fighting the fight, against evil and it's hard with out support. They help out with out being asked, they give with out expecting anything in return. Isn't that what Christmas is all about. We hear the saying all the time. "Its better to give than to receive" But do we take it to heart like these two, Funny thing they don't even know I am writing about them, they like doing things with out people knowing. The sign of a real hero.
The best example of a Super Hero, Jesus Christ the ultimate friend that would give his life, for the World. Let's be a Super Hero all year and let's see what God does in our life in 2011. I believe God answers prayers, if we ask for the right things. Our only weakness, Kryptonite(Satan} he stops us with situations in our life to distract us on what's really important. God and the Human race. Give more than what you receive, That's the key to permanent success. Put on your favorite alter ego, Super Hero and fight the World against evil and be a force of light and Good. Christ is alive and well, if you Believe.The question remains do you Believe?
To your Super Hero Year,
Fidel
