Annuit Coeptis

If you have ever met me once then you would know that my so called love language is touching. Whenever I enter a room I usually don’t just say HEY, and sit down. I walk around and give everyone I know a special hand shake and hug the ladies. Last week was no different when I entered ACF’s main student room and hugged a little cute Texan by the name of Andi, then I realized that I had lost my eagle from my necklace. My father gave me this eagle when I was in 4th grade and it’s never left my side since then and I plan on giving it to my son and I hope my son gives it to his son and so on. I could feel the tears come to my eyes as I looked in desperation to find it: upstairs, downstairs and through couches, it’s like I felt my father’s memory slipping away from me as I searched each painful second for it. Those feelings fled as I seen the shine of that eagle charm come from under the couch cushion I had laid on earlier. After this whole scramble I asked myself, if I would have lost that eagle forever, would I have seriously lost all of my memories of my father. Would I had lost the moment I first remember seeing him as my father, would I had lost the vision of him when he would stand in the window and watch me run from end to end pretending to score touchdowns or, the memory of him smiling as I opened Christmas presents. No, those memories aren’t attached to anything physical, those memories can’t rust or pass away as this earth does, those memories will never leave me. For the Lord says in Matthew 7: 24-27 what men build on the foundation of sand will be washed away as the rains descend and the winds burst, but if you build your foundation on the rock of God, on the hope of God, on the strength of God, our foundations shall never shake nor find rust or be destroyed. I remember when people swore the end of America was at hand when President Obama was elected, some even thought that President Bush was leading us to death of our nation. I preached it then and forever more will I continue say that no one person can destroy These United States, No one session of Congress can destroy this nation of immigrants, and nothing can destroy this foundation but US. The founding fathers built a nation among the foundation of God that survives war after war, cowardly attack after cowardly attack, depressions and recessions alike, and natural disasters in any shape or form. If you have a dollar on hand right now flip it over and read the Latin above the pyramid with the all Seeing Eye. It says, “Annuit Coepits.” which means He approves! He approves of what was done many years ago when we named Theses United States as one under him. We need to look deep into our souls as a Christians and ask ourselves what is our hope built in, what is our foundation made of? Is our faith sitting on the beautiful beaches of life that are great until the hurricane spins at the edge of our shores and brings a torrential downpour that leaves us with nothing and no foundation to restart our life. If we build our attention towards God and not towards the desires of this world,and avoid looking towards looks that will turn to wrinkles with time, don’t look towards money for it will rise and fall with interest rates and the crashing of markets, and don’t look at people for we fail each others “Great Expectations”, then we will find the foundation of God . Annuit Coepits, God has chosen and approved us, now let’s choose to make him our foundation and build a spirit that is not afraid and of him, not needing to be braced or supported by things that will rust, wilt to rushing waters, or be toppled by great winds. God Bless You, God Bless These United States of America, and God Bless our foundations made of him.
