SUP, BABY! TAKE ME TO NEW YORK CITY!!!I was back crying happy tears this morning having breakfast with my daughter, Julie, at this hotel I wrote about yesterday:“Even God surprised me when I did a check on my phone to see exactly how many miles I was away from my home today, and it was incredibly 1107 miles. It was God’s sweet way of letting me know that He is intimately involved in every detail of my life. Of all the hotels we picked to stay at while dropping our daughter off to university, God had us to stay at this one, so that I could calculate the distance for Him to reveal His invisible Presence with us here.”I asked Julie, “Do you think God had them to build this hotel exactly here so that I could calculate the miles yesterday just so that we can feel His Presence here with us?” “Probably!” she answered! That’s the love of God I want everyone to experience. To know that we don’t have to handle life on our own, that He is there to guide and lovingly direct us:“The Lord says, “I will make you wise and show you where to go. I will guide you and watch over you.” – Psalm 32:8I told the girls about some great advice God gave me maybe 10 years ago. I was having a fight with my husband about something and when I finally went to God about it, I felt Him saying that even though my way was good, it would profit me more to follow the will of another. In other words, ‘Nik, if you go along with your husband, following his lead, it would be better for you in the long run.’ Taking that advice from God is what got us here at this hotel right now, where we are about to leave our eldest child at one of the top universities in the world. Julie even got an email yesterday saying she got a $72,000 scholarship from another university in New York in their honors program. That’s the excellent path God’s wisdom has led us to, not conforming with the world, but listening to God. I’ll repeat what I said yesterday:See why I stay on the highest road with Him now? To walk through life knowing God has your back and is with you in every moment, gives life a whole new perspective and meaning. May we all win together as we wisely involve God in every decision we make, always seeking to please and be obedient to Him, even when it is difficult. I promise you, God always knows the utmost best decision. God, increase our faith in You!!! Amen!”Off to New York with my fierce daughters!!!
