I see Him

If you follow me on Social media, you know that I have begun working with a Life Coach. Let me just say, my experience with her thus far has been enlightening, provoking, and at times hella scary. I NEVER expected to have this type of experience nor bound with her on this level. I am a people person. I watch and study people, they fascinate me, they confuse me, they anger me, and most importantly they amaze me. People are magical! When I sit back and think about the world around me and all the wonderful things that are apart of this planet that I inhabit, my knees quiver in awe.  To know that human hands created the house that I was raised in, the place that is my sacred home, is humbling. To hear Robin Roberts talk about her health challenges and hearing her utter a simple sentence, changed my life. To see the many artistic creations of this world and to know that they came from the mind of another person, is marvelously mysterious. It is things like these and so much more that feeds my love of mankind. However, when I truly look into my reverent adoration of people what I sincerely see is a pure and humbling glimpse of a loving and multi-dimensional God.

Coach Kerri's Universe

When I decided to work with my Life Coach, my biggest fear was that she was so different from me, so I thought. As a Christian, I know God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity. I have never known anything else. I would watch Coach on Facebook via posts and she would use words like, universe, and energy, it kinda freaked me out. Universe and energy, what the heck is she talking about? Well from day one, she explained, it is the same thing. If God is all and in all, then isn't He energy, nature, mankind, etc. She opened my eyes to something I had yet to completely grasped before, God is everything and everything(minus the bad stuff humans find themselves doing) is God. We are only separated when we allow labels to divide us. In that moment I saw God's desire to take me higher and deeper in my relationship with Him being manifested through Coach Kerri. 

Robin's Something

Oh Robin Roberts, how I adore thee. To me this lady is miraculous ball of strength, courage, determination, and contagious positivity. To come through all that she has and to not only be still standing but to be standing so profoundly is to me, enormously inspirational. This lady is TRULY my real life super hero. Recently, I have been reading her latest book, Everybody's Got Something, and throughout this entire book she talks about God in one way or another. Whether she is talking about her greatest challenge, her wonderful nurses, her family, or fans; the thread that filters through all of her recounts is faith. She talks about how her faith, in her darkest moments, whether it was via a word spoken, a whispered prayer, or serene silence, it was her faith that kept her. Hmm, faith, doesn't faith connect us to God? So, while I adore me some Robin, if it was not for God, there would be no Robin. Yet again, God has shown Himself to me by manifesting through a human's struggle and triumph.

The Arts

There is so much artistic beauty in this world, from the Mona Lisa to the colorful bird that lands on the tree branch. Art is everywhere. When I look in the mirror and see my Asian eyes peaking through my African American skin, that is art. When I snap pictures of Dee's latest cake creation, that is art. When I am driving home from GA to MI and I see the mountains, that is art. When I read words so eloquently placed together make me weep, that is art. The common entity among all of these creative mediums is God.

But God

While I am utterly enamored with mankind, more than the human that I see, it is the God in them that I recognize. Coach Kerri is great and is a vital part of my life and journey BUT it is God who predestined to join our lives together in this exact moment. Robin Roberts is astonishing BUT it is God who she credits for everything. The wonders of this world are beautiful to behold BUT it is God who gave the inventors the minds to create and the skills to produce. While I wouldn't want to live in a world without all the things that I have discussed and so much more, I now have a deeper love and passion for God. How can I not worship a creator who loves me enough to allow me to experience so many extraordinarily breathtaking blessings in a lifetime.

Maybe if more people could truly see and appreciate humans for what and who they are, as God and His creations walking among us, the atmosphere of this world would change.
