ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Thank you for visiting my site. The reason I chose to post this blog was to share with you an incredible story....a story that should not go untold. It has and will forever be etched in my mind as the most monumental moment of my life.....that is, when I experienced first hand the saving grace and mighty power of GOD Himself. This story is that of a divine miracle that occurred while I was on vacation with my family in Santa Rosa, Florida on July 8, 2007. Little did I know that God had a large role for me to play on that unforgettable day....one that I am blessed to have received. Since then, it has caught media attention from CBS Early Show, the St. Louis Suburban Journal, the Seaside Times, FOX 2 News Detroit, FOX 2 News St. Louis and Readers Digest. This blog is meant to give a full account of the story from my perspective; providing all the facts as it unfolded. I encourage you to read on....I promise that it is worth your time and may just give you the inspiration needed to...

ALL IN GOD'S TIMING | Divine Miracle Story

"ALL IN GOD’S TIMING" A True Story about a Divine Miracle on Florida’s Beach Written: November 15, 2007 On July 8, 2007 I witnessed and experienced a divine miracle. It happened within the 1st two hours of arriving to Santa Rosa, FL while I was on vacation with my family. No sooner than checking into our rental home, we all decided to walk down to the beach to take in the sights. After about an hour, my parents left to do some grocery shopping while my sister and her boyfriend headed back to the rental; leaving my brother and I behind on the beach. We sat there having a good heart-to-heart conversation about life and the struggles that we encounter along the way. I explained to him that we will inevitably experience trials but it is through those times that make us stronger ... those moments are meant to build our character and teach us the art of patience. But the most important thing to remember is that we are not alone. God is always there waiting to lift us up....

GOD'S WINK | Beyond Coincidence

A Story Beyond Coincidence Written: March 15, 2012 I had one of those WOW moments today where God met me where I was and revealed Himself to me in such an amazing way. As I write, it has been nearly 5 years since I witnessed the 'Divine Miracle' that occurred on the white, sandy beach of Santa Rosa, Florida. Often, I find myself reminiscing to that day, as my mind replays the sequence of events that unfolded. It continues to give me a sense of awe and wonder of God's almighty LOVE, POWER and saving GRACE! As I sat at my desk at work this afternoon, I was in the middle of an Instant Messaging (IM) conversation with a fellow colleague, Kyle Tilley. We were lining up our Managers' calendars to schedule an important meeting for next week when he casually mentioned that he was going to be out of the office all that week. Curious, I asked if he was taking a long, needed vacation. He said yes and typed that he was going to Destin, FL with his wife and in-laws. ...
