“Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.” —Saint Augustine

From as early as I can remember as a child, I believed in a Creator. I didn’t know Him until I was in my late 20’s when I gave my life to Him after being married a few years. The idea of “seeing” what I believed about Him was just an idea until I started having what I call “divine appointments”.

One of the first divine appointments I had was when my wife and I were trying to get pregnant. We both had to have medical treatment to conceive and when we finally did, we had two miscarriages in a row. Our faith was greatly tested. We even tried adoption and that fell through in a very bizarre way. We just kept on praying for a child.

Then one day I received a box of supplies from my pharma company (I was a pharma rep for 13 years). Inside the box, besides my usual marketing materials, was a can of baby formula. Our company does NOT make or supply baby formula. In no way did our company have access to baby formula, nor did anyone in my company know we were trying to get pregnant.

Soon after receiving the baby formula, we found out we were pregnant again. This time we had a healthy baby boy. This was the first of many divine appointments in our lives. Many of them have occurred during my business career at times where we ran into brick walls to keep our business alive and through prayer, we were able to find solutions that came from divine appointments.

One that stands out was when we had a deadline to have a new version of our software cleared by the FDA or we would forfeit a milestone payout from our new owners. We received notice of clearance on December 31st, one day before our forfeit deadline. The FDA does NOT clear submittals on holidays like New Year’s Eve!

These are my examples of SEEING what you believe in.

Keep the faith my friends!
