It All starts with looking for Love in the world in the world around you.

When I started looking for Love in the world and found God whom I call THE DUDE (All Caps out of reverence), then I began to participate in the things I saw God doing. I had no idea no idea that I was being Born of the Spirit and where this would take me.

After I started taking an account of the Qualities of God and started participating in them, I started to experience an Abundance of them in every area of my life. It is there, I began to experience a few miracles and participate in a few of them for others. I decided to look for miracles and asked God to help me facilitate in them. It didn’t take to long for me to start seeing Miracles and experiencing miracles all the time.

According to Oxford Dictionary: A Miracle is defined as: 1) a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency. 2) a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences. 3) an amazing product or achievement, or an outstanding example of something.

This is example, is nothing short of a Miracle. I chose this one to start with this, to make a very important point.

On 01/30/2021 I had just moved back to the Seattle area after living in Spokane Washington for a while. It was during the Pandemic. I met with some friends, and we all decided to go out to eat at Hops and Drops over in smokey point. It was one of the only restaurants open at the time due to the pandemic lock downs. After eating dinner, we all stood outside chatting away about life and everything else. Then one of my friends realized that the restaurant had been closed, and everyone who worked there was gone. We were the only ones standing outside. We said our goodbyes and headed to our cars. I had parked my car far out in the parking lot over by Dicks Sporting Goods. When I got to my car I looked down and saw this Eric Church CD case lying with an old Halloween coupon book. I looked at it for a minute then opened my back door and threw it and the Halloween coupon book in the back seat. I got in my car and looked at the time, Exactly Midnight.

Now, it is super important to note: The entire world was in Covid lock downs at the time. Very few restaurants were open and there no concerts or shows at the stadiums. Everyone was staying home and sheltering in place.

Almost 7 months later in August of 2021, I was offered a position working as The Seattle Branch Manager of the Seattle Hire Quest. We supplied staffing personnel for Event Security at Concerts and Shows. The stadiums were opening back they needed security staff to have the shows. At the time I started at that job Climate Pledge Arena hadn’t even been finished yet.

On October 30th, 2021, I went over to Climate Pledge Arena to check on my personnel to ensure they were there or on their way to work the concert that night. When I got there one of the Managers for the Security staff said to me, we had someone call in sick. you want to fill in and work the barricade tonight? I said sure what show is it? He said Eric Church. I said cool! You bet! He said I have just the spot for you. So we went out to the stage and were placed where they wanted us. Another supervisor came over and said Andy I want you over on the pass gate. The entire stage is shaped like a Giant Cross. The sound man is over here and to get under the stage there is port hole. I want you to stand right Infront of that and let only the band or anyone who has an access badge through that doorway. I said Ok, Sound good to me. This should be fun. The gates opened up and after a little while the show started. It was a great show. Eric Church is all about the fans. Now I want you to know, I had forgot all about that Cd Case and Halloween coupon booklet I had found on 01/30/2021.

The rule on the barricade is, you are not supposed to take pictures while working the concert. No phones out during the show. You are there protect the client and ensure safety of the guests. I had phone in my pocket and set to vibrate. At close to midnight one of my other employees also working the show called me to let me know she was done on the gates and was leaving. She kept calling me over and over. I eventually pulled my phone out to turn it off and accidently took one picture at the show.

I didn’t realize I had taken one picture until after I got home after the show. After the concert, I stopped by my office at 2 am and paid everyone for working, When I got home, while getting out of my car, i dropped my keys under the front seat. I went to get my keys under my seat, I found that Eric Church CD Case laying under it I thought oh yeah! I had forgot all about that. I went up to my bedroom and laid there a minute on my bed. An employee called me and asked if they had been paid or not from the show. I went into my pictures on my phone to send her a picture I had took of the computer screen paying everyone for the show and I realized at that moment I had taken one picture at the show.

The one picture I had taken on accident at the show while turning my phone off is an exact matching image as the one CD Case I found 10 months prior, to the minute!

When I found that Eric Church CD Case, Climate Pledge Arena hadn’t even been being built yet. Eric Church hadn’t even billed his tour yet. The whole world was in a state of fear about the pandemic. The United States Government wouldn’t even allow live concerts. At the time I found it, I knew nothing about the job I would take 8 months later. I had no plans of working shows or anything like it. Every single person, From The construction workers finishing Climate Pledge Arena, To the Heads of Governments around the world, To the Heads of the CDC and The WHO, to Eric Church and His Tour Manager, to negotiators who signed the contracts to do that show at that stadium on that night, to my friend who thought to call me and offer me a job in August of 2021, to the person that night who called in sick, to security manager who asked me if I wanted to work the show, to the supervisor who moved me into a different position on the barricade, to my employee calling me over and over and my decision to turn off my phone all worked in concert for me to take the exact image found inside the Eric Church CD case 10 months prior to the minute! Which is nothing short of a Miracle!

You see, one day you start looking for love in the world around you. Then you find God. You start doing what you see God do. Then God enters into you, and you enter to God. Then that leads you into a life abundance and prosperity. Sometime later you discover there is two different Kingdoms or Empires in this world. Then you start experiencing miracles and start participating in them as well. Then because you a citizen in The One Kingdom, you see that every mistake you make and every right choice you make and every good day and every bad day, every victory and defeat and not only you! The Entire world! From the Richest to the Poorest. From the Heads of international Organizations to The Governments of all the Countries and their choices and mistakes, good days and bad days, victories and defeats are all working and conspiring to place you where God is taking you. Nothing, not any power in this world can outsmart or outthink God. May you find Him Now and enter into His Kingdom. The Realm of Miracles.

This is what Jesus said, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.  You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’  The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So, it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

It All starts with looking for Love in the world in the world around you.
