RUN TO GOD!!!

That’s the best advice I can give you guys! No shame in my game; I use all the so-called “bad” stuff in my life as opportunities to seek God! I look for His perspective, His guidance, and His wisdom on what He would have me to do. And let me tell ya, His ways are not our ordinary human ways; they’re so much better!

Like yesterday, I woke up for an appointment with Him reading my book, a compilation of 366 blog posts that I felt He wrote with me as the Co-Author! I turned directly to one entitled, ‘The Best Marriage Advice Ever (For all significant relationships too, by the way),’ with the first point being:

“PATIENCE AND PRAYER – In areas that I’m not 100% happy with in my marriage, I practice patience, and I pray asking God for help. Sometimes, believe it or not, it’s me who God has to change, not my hubby. God gives me the wisdom to look at things from another perspective. Other times it’s my hubby, but I don’t nag him about it. I worry about nothing and pray about everything. PATIENCE AND PRAYER!”

I ended up having such a good laugh with God thinking about how long ago I wrote this post to be STILL struggling with this lesson from Him of patience. So, fast forward to that afternoon, I went running to Him again in a difficult moment, and there was a post on Tumblr.com that I loved:

“Be much in secret prayer. Converse less with man, and more with God.” – Tumblr.com via thesovereignword

I loved it so much I went to this person’s feed to see what else they had to say to me, and there were so many posts that I loved (God is pretty talkative!). But what really blew me away was this one:

“Prayer and Patience go hand in hand (Wink! Wink!).”

That was no coincidence! After God and I had that laugh together in my big book about this prayer and patience thing, for this to show up on that feed that I just happen to go to was God’s fun, cool, and sweet way of revealing a tiny glimmer of His invisible Presence that is ALWAYS with me. He knows more than anyone that I struggle with patience (God, I’m trying!) and that He sees me. That I can be patient with my eyes on the prize knowing my best days are still out ahead of me! Sometimes we have to patiently go through tough paths to get to the best ones! Wink! Wink!

See how He turns my bad into such good? Me running to Him in that awful moment, He revealed His Presence with me. That’s what gives my life such peace knowing that He is with me in my struggles and challenges. HE IS IN THE FIRES OF LIFE WITH US! Are you running to God? Like that other post said, “Be much in secret prayer. Converse less with man, and more with God.” God’s ways are higher than any human’s ways. Start looking to Him for guidance! I love Tumblr and my other meditation books I go running to hear from Him. Then all day, I TRY to pause and listen to what He would have me to do, where He would have me to go, and what He would have me to say OR NOT SAY. Lol! I get it wrong LOTS but I don’t give up! I pick myself up, dust myself off after my slip-ups, and I keep rolling with God, baby! Patient with myself, too!
