“NOTHING’S GOING TO MAKE ME SAD TODAY!”

That was from my son, Siah, a short while ago. He has a mini-vacation break from school, and as I heard him say yesterday, he’s going to savor every moment of it! Seeing him so happy made me happy, and I feel that’s where God wants us all. Making up our minds like Siah to let nothing get us down:

“I am not telling you this because I need anything. I have learned to be satisfied with the things I have and with everything that happens. I know how to live when I am poor, and I know how to live when I have plenty. I HAVE LEARNED THE SECRET OF BEING HAPPY AT ANY TIME IN EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS, when I have enough to eat and when I go hungry, when I have more than I need and when I do not have enough.” – Philippians 4:11-12

God has been lovingly teaching me this beautiful lesson, THAT I CAN TURN ANY SITUATION INTO HEAVEN! Yeah, baby! Like yesterday, I decided to move a big project I’m working on into my daughter Julie’s bedroom. I told my husband, “I need to connect with Julie’s energy of hard work, focus, and discipline. You know your wife doesn’t like working hard!” Fast forward to me getting settled there to begin working; I read a 50 day of discipline poster Julie constructed and posted on her closet that said, “Wake up at 6:30 daily.” Thirty seconds later, I turn on my computer to start working, and IMMEDIATELY upon opening it, the time was EXACTLY 6:30 (Wink! Wink!) am in the US. Of course, I took this as another one of my God winks where everything lined up EXTREMELY too perfect to be some ordinary coincidence. It was God reminding me that where ever I am, there He is (including my daughter’s bedroom!):

“Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.” – Psalm 139:8-10

He changes my perspective on everything. From being stressed out about this challenge, He said that I should look at it lightheartedly as something me and Him can handle TOGETHER – have fun with it, Nik! And He has been helping me, nudging me in my spirit the way I should go about it.

Even my computer was so slow because it’s almost completely full, and God even provided me with a new one, already preloaded with everything I need to get my work done. It was my nephew Duro’s old computer that he emptied of all its content before giving it to us that made it super fast for what I need to get done. Then my assistant in Nigeria got it and loaded it with all the programs we needed. When I had the issue with my computer, I asked her for it, and it turns out that my other nephew, Gbenga, had already brought it home, not knowing it was meant to stay at the office. So all of this was God going before me and making sure I have everything I need exactly when I need it. SUCH LOVE HE SHOWS ME!!! God’s spoilt girl here!

I’ve been asking Him if I can take a break from the postings until I got this project over with and look what showed up at 50 minutes past the hour for my appointment with Him today when I went to page 50 of our family’s website, werollwithgod.com:

“Even when I’ve been asking God to give up the posts and videos while I catch myself, He took me to a direct post that said THE WORK FOR HIM WAS TO CONTINUE (Wink! Wink!). ‘No problem, You’re the Boss!!’ But seeing such a specific response to my question made me feel so close to Him.”

TO THE POINT THAT I WANT US DOING EVERYTHING FOR AND WITH GOD. The offenses, challenges, disappointments, frustrations WILL COME!!! But we can present everything to God, get His perspective, SHAKE OFF WHATEVER IS WEIGHING US DOWN AND HOLDING US BACK and keep moving confidently forward, KNOWING HE HAS OUR BACK! LET’S DO GREAT THINGS FOR GOD THIS YEAR! Heehaw!!!
