Miracle at Costco

Happy Easter to All,

What a perfect occasion for me to share with you what happened at Costco to My Family. Easter is one of my favorite days. It's a special day when a human delivered the most important prophesy he had made to the World and became God. When he resurrected he let the World know, who he really was, God the saviour, the sacred Lamb, the perfect life sent to save the Human race. For who so ever believes in him, Shall have everlasting Life. What a promise, every time I read those words it sends chills through my Spiritual being.

As a Life Coach, I continuously share with my Family, Friends, Colleagues, and Clients that God performs these incredible Miracles in our Life for us to recognize and appreciate. God performs Miracles in your Life every hour everyday, 365 days a year. I call it Miracle overflow but you have to be aware of it. Because God in all his glory does not boast about his Miracles, He just wants you to observe and recognize, it's His work.

The other day, I needed to get allot of things done like always, before a project I had to accomplish. Because the project was going to take allot of my time, I wanted to spend time with my Family as well and still do some Business. God had all the players in place all the people that were going to participate in this making of a Miracle. God was the Director of the production, He knew when we needed to take breaks, when to eat and when each meeting would end to meet his deadline. After taking care of things in the morning, I contacted one of my clients to see if we could run some Ideas before taking my Family to Disneyland. My client said he could meet me at Mimi's cafe around 3:30 I said that would be perfect as we were leaving our house I asked my wife to check and see if we were blocked at Disneyland, She pulled out her calender checked, and she replied no we are not blocked. As I hurried to get things done my appointment with my client got pushed and hour later because of time restraints. When we arrived at Mimi's cafe my client said he was running a bit late, so I explained to my wife why don't we eat here with Gene and his Family then go to Disneyland after, She agreed. As we were waiting for Gene, He called me and said "Are you in the Restaurant I have looked for you and couldn't find you." I replied They sat us in the patio near the back which was odd because Mimi's was not that busy. As he came in the second time, Gene saw me and I noticed his jaw was swollen, He just had oral surgery as I invited him to sit down and have some soup or something he explained to me that his Family was waiting for him, they had ordered a Pizza and were going to eat at home. We took care of some Business and Gene left. While we were still at Mimi's a good friend of ours called us and asked what we were doing. We explained we were getting a bite to eat and going to Disneyland for a while. She asked where we were and asked if she could join us.

As we were sitting there we changed our mind about eating at Mimi's and told our friend to join us along Harbor Blvd, in Costa Mesa and we would find a Restaurant along the way to Disneyland, she agreed. As we were driving along Harbor Blvd we really couldn't find a restaurant everybody agreed on. By now we were almost at Disneyland when we all agreed on In n Out. Our friend Chi being from the area said she knew where one was, we took the scenic route we went by her old elementary and High School as we were driving my Wife said we are headed in the same direction as we were in, she was right, as we were making a right turn on Bristol we had almost made one Complete square. We sat and ate, In N Out is still the best Burger around best part, Christian based Company. When we were finished we proceeded to make our way towards Disneyland. Our friend Chi said she knew a shortcut, My wife was driving and we followed her, as we were heading towards the Santa Ana mall I asked my wife " Why are we following a white Acura" Chi's car is a white Honda. My wife looked at me and laughed and said "I was wondering what she was doing at the Mall" as we got lost we quickly got on the 5 freeway and finally made it to Disneyland. As we gave our passes to get in the parking structure, The man said " I am sorry but you are blocked today " We called Chi explained to her our situation she quickly replied "lets do something else" as we made our way out of Disneyland my Daughter was upset she wasn't going on her favorite rides, after explaining to her we were blocked she claimed how much she liked Knotts Berry Farm instead because we are not blocked. We laughed as we were leaving.

When we were on the Freeway we called Chi and asked if she wouldn't mind us stopping and returning this bathing suit we bought for our Daughter at Costco, She said she needed to pick up a few things she didn't Mind. When we arrived at Costco there were a ton of open spots to park God wanted me to park in the third row. As we arrived a Lady was putting some things in her trunk and just closed it, as we got out she commented on our car and said how much her Daughter likes that car. Being in the Auto Industry for 18 years and owning over 43 cars in my lifetime I started showing her the car as my Wife was going to Costco I told her I would see her inside. I began to demonstrate to her the practical features of the car and the room for the rear passengers. As she was leaving I told her she should buy one she would love it. As we said our Goodbyes she claimed " I don't know why I am even looking at a car, it's the wrong time to buy one" I said "It's always a great time to buy a car" as I said it, I saw the pain in her Eyes, I knew then God was about to perform a Miracle I knew what my role was that whole day, to deliver a message to a devoted Christian in a Costco parking lot, that her pain was felt by Jesus and he would walk with her during this difficult time that she was experiencing. Found out she was going through a difficult divorce, a divorce she did not want. The pain I saw in her eyes was real I felt her Heart breaking as we prayed for her healing and Jesus to walk with her during her trial, during our fellowship I found out she was a gifted Music Teacher, a loving Mother and a devoted wife and Christian. The Miracle God performed that day was Equivalent to me witnessing Jesus resurrect his friend Lazarus from the Dead and bring him back to Life. What God did for this Devoted Mother and Christian was bring her back to Life, Give her Hope, I witnessed it with my own two eyes. As we said our Goodbyes for the second time, Jesus had healed her with his mighty Spirit and her faith. Your FAITH in Jesus will heal, what ever you are going through. With Faith you can see God's work in your Life.

Life is full of what If. We have a decision to make live in Man's World, a life of coincidence and pain or God's World a Life of Miracles and Divine intervention, you can't Live in Both. Have Faith in Jesus and believe he is the son of God and allow him to Direct your day like I do, and you will see Miracles happen everyday. None of the what if, Listed above would of been any different when you work to please God it happens on his time his clock, Because if one second would of been off, the Miracle would of never happened for the Music Teacher. The President of my Company Leonel Godinez tells me often Miracles happened to you all the time, he has played a part in quite a few Miracles that have happened in my Life , Because I explained to him how and why it happened, he can see God's Master plan, he sees allot of Miracles happen in his Life now. Believe in Miracles and they will happen in your Life as well. Today is the most important day of our Spritual Life, The Saviour came back to Life to Be our Living God, Thank you Jesus, for being there for me and the Human race, with Jesus in our Life who can possible be against us and prosper, no one.
