“HOW WAS JULIE’S INTERVIEW?”Was the question asked of me from halfway across the world today regarding my daughter’s application to one of the top universities in the world. I was excited to report that Julie answered some of the questions from the mighty God perspective (that’s the mama’s daughter, baby!). In the end, the interviewer shared a God quote with her and how they both share the exact value of trying to make the most impact on making the world a better place while they are alive. Sweet!Let me tell you, God’s perspective changes everything! I just had a conversation with our manager about our business, and we both have faith in God that no situation is too difficult for Him. Even if we’re at nothing, we give God our nothing, reminded that He created the entire world from nothing! Our hope is in Him!!! Julie got a chance to tell the interviewer what I always quote, “If you’re a street cleaner, be the best street cleaner.” We’re doing everything for the glory of God, knowing our reward is with Him! Knowing this top university took time to speak to my daughter was a HUGE win. When she told me a year or so ago that a website said to her that her chances of getting in were extremely low, I said to her, “Don’t forget the God factor!” God has this sweet way of tweaking situations on our behalf, working in the spiritual realm on our behalf.Julie doesn’t like when I take credit for stuff, but it’s not me, it’s God I’m giving the praise. Like the idea that He put in my mind from Nigeria that Julie should become a full-time college student in the US, while still being in high school. She told me how these colleges level classes have pushed her GPA up and now she is in the top 10%, not anymore 20%, of her graduating class. I’ll never forget that day when God told me in my spirit to send that email to Julie’s guidance counselor asking if Julie could start early admissions into college. God is pretty talkative once we get to know Him!!!I say all that to say God is personally involved in our lives. It’s just for us to tap into His voice so we know what He would have us to say, what to do, and where to go, on a moment-by-moment basis. Right now, He has me in silent mode, telling me to vent all my frustrations to Him (His heart is my hospital) and to others, I should learn to be quiet. Super tough for your talkative girl here, but anything to please God, I will learn. (HUGE SMILE)
