was the beautiful blessing I received on Facebook yesterday and I feel God is behind the scenes of my life granting me these heart desires. Today is a holiday in Nigeria, as the newly elected President takes control of the country, and I decided to give my daughters and myself hot oil treatments and as I took my time doing Ember’s hair, I’ve realized how God has helped me, even with my relationship with her, that seemed to be going way off track a few months ago. I’ll never get over God, only the Creator of the universe, how He is so intimately involved in our lives. He’s on our side guiding us with His counsel and when we stick with Him, little by little He will help us get things on the right track again, no matter the challenge area, He’s an expert in everything, including parenting.
I have a feeling God was behind us going with this natural hair, without using chemicals to straighten it for about a year now, which is lots more work, but it has brought my daughters and I closer together. We just decided one day to give it a try and it forces us to spend time with each other with mommy being the official hairdresser! Thanks, God, I’m loving my daughters on a completely different level!
The lessons from God with Ember, who’s 12 by the way, has been to calm down as a Tiger mom, focus on her positives, to be her biggest encourager and inspire her to be her best self, to be patient with her when she messes up and most importantly to show and tell her how much I love her and how proud I am of her.
But this post is to remind you how if we stay in touch with God, I’m talking constant conversations with Him, he can help fix any problem area in our life, little by little, and in this case He has helped me get closer to my daughter. My appointments with Him have made me a better parent as I’m filling myself with God’s wisdom each time I have an alone time with Him. “Prayer is when you talk to God. Meditation is when God talks to you.” Sometimes only for 2 minutes, I open my meditation books in the mornings and at 12 pm and 5 pm and I’m amazed how God seems to speak directly to what is going on in my head at the moment, or I’ll pick up some other piece of excellent wisdom to use in a future decision. He’s too much! These appointments are the bomb!
“May God bless u and grant u ur heart desire.”
WE ROLL WITH GOD
