Mary has been my friend since High School. Every time I got to my hometown, Redondo Beach, California, I make a point to connect with her and we walk on the beach. Mary has an awesome son named, Tyler. Although he is a 22 year old man, Tyler’s mind functions like that of a young child. Tyler is Mary’s world and because she wants to have a handle on Tyler’s future she is part of a wonderful 501c3 called the Golden Heart Ranch. The organization takes care of young adults with special needs.
For a few years Mary kept talking about this land the Golden Heart wanted to buy in Agoura Canyon to build a productive community for the kids. One day, while on our walk, we went to the shoreline and then looking towards the horizon, we told God that we wanted the land. We know God can do anything so we gave thanks in advance.
"Why are we thanking God now?" Mary asked.
“What is it God cannot do?” I asked her. "God loves you like you love Tyler. Expect the land or something better.”
It was a struggle. Months and months went by and then about a year and a half ago Golden Heart had their ranch in Agoura Canyon. THANK YOU GOD!!

A few weeks ago I was in Redondo and like always, Mary picked me up for a walk on the beach. This day I could tell Mary was a woman on a mission.
“C’mon we’ve got to go to the beach and do that thing.”
“You mean talk to God?”
“Yes! We are up for a $100,000 grant for the ranch! Let’s go do that thing you do!”
We stood on the shoreline and looked out into the horizon. It was a gorgeous day. The ocean and the sky were both bright blue. “Hey God, it’s Mary and I again. The Golden Heart is asking for that $100,000 grant. We know you will give the Golden HeartRanch the grant or something better. Thank you in advance.”
Then I jumped into a childlike game of pretend. “Look Mary!! The answer is YES! Can you see it? Look at the big giant letters in the sky! They spell YES. Can you see it?”
Mary smiled. “Yes!”
As soon as she said "yes" I absolutely knew it was real. We both could feel it. The ranch was getting the money or something better. The rest of the walk we were like little kids. We kept saying, “The answer is YES! It really is” The words rang true like a giant bell ringing a universal song of victory, joy and abundance.
A jet had made a huge curvy line in the sky. Mary pointed and exclaimed, "Look Cindy, God is smiling!"

A few days ago I got a text from Mary. It read: Not sure we will be getting that $100,000 but we just got a gift of $250,000. God is good.
Learn what they are doing at the Golden Heart Ranch. It is awesome!!
