“EVERY DAY IS MOTHER’S DAY FOR ME!”

That was me to my superb daughter, Julie, a few minutes ago! She responded, “You say that about every holiday! Every day is Christmas. Every day is Valentine’s Day.” I told her that’s why I call it the sweet life with God, where I’m learning to suck up every moment and enjoy my life with Him. Like yesterday, she called, and I asked her where she was. She said, “Oh, I’m just out enjoying nature.” And honestly, I was just the happiest mom ever because my daughter is at a great place in her life, getting closer to God and maturing so beautifully! “You’re flourishing (“developing rapidly and successfully; thriving”), I said to her. She is my go-to person for peace and calmness. I still can’t get over her words recently:

“She said something like, “IT’S JUST ABOUT LIVING LIFE KNOWING YOU HAVE GOD’S PRESENCE CONTINUALLY WITH YOU PROTECTING YOU, GUIDING YOU, AND HELPING YOU. THAT YOU’RE NEVER ALONE.”

And that was my advice to my other fabulous daughter, Ember, when she asked for some advice yesterday. I pointed her to God. “He has the best plans for our lives, sweetie, and He knows the best choices you should make. Ask Him what He would have you to do here!” I told her how the Holy Spirit (God’s voice within us) directed me to marry her dad after only 5 months of knowing him, and that was almost 20 years ago. That same voice continues to guide us through good times and bad times no matter the troubles that come our way. Even through our darkest days, God lovingly and faithfully directs us to the other side, where we come through with even more love, respect, and commitment to each other. 

On the other hand, I was engaged to someone else, and I ended doing the hardest thing ever – leaving him – because I felt doubtful and not at peace when I thought about our future together. He was such a great guy to me, and that’s what made the breakup so hard, but he just wasn’t the person I felt I was meant to spend the rest of my life with. I’ve now learned from God that doubt means don’t! And that enthusiasm I felt about my husband was God’s way of saying, ‘Yes, Nik! He is the one I planned out for you!’

So, in every decision, I want us to go to God because He truly knows what’s best. He sees what we don’t see, including the future. I’m telling you, the Holy Spirit is our best friend! So grateful that He joined in with my brother, Kevin, to tell me to be patient. I’m so grateful! Get to know God’s voice by getting Him involved in every circumstance, every relationship, and every decision! We don’t go wrong with God! Don’t forget your alone times with Him reading or listening to anything spiritual that you feel connects you to Him.

Happy Mother’s Day to the World’s Best Mom, my mother, Mabel! Next to God, she has wisely guided my life on a beautiful path with her advice and strong influence. I’m forever grateful, Mama!
