“YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED”I just texted a friend and remembered I needed to update you guys as well. Let me tell ya, God loves my family too much!!! Yesterday we had a beautiful send-off brunch for my daughter, Ember, who is leaving this week to attend Pace University in New York. Also, my nephew, Duro, who is beginning an internship with an Amazon-affiliated company, away from our family business. Whoop! Whoop! “Where do you want to go?” my brother Kevin asked when I told him that we had arrived at the Hard Rock Hotel to meet up with him. Long story short, we ended up eating at the gorgeous Rise Kitchen and Deli. As I got up to give Kevin a farewell hug, Ember pointed to the lady sitting at the table directly across from us. Can you believe she was wearing a shirt with Pace University (where Ember is leaving to attend) printed on it? It was another one of my God winks where everything lines up a little too perfectly to be some ordinary coincidence. This was all orchestrated by God Himself to let us know that His invisible Presence was with our family (HUGE SMILE).“Don’t mess up!” was the stern conversation my husband and I had with Ember. This has been a massive sacrifice for our family to get her to this point, where we split our family in half with hubs staying in Nigeria with the boys while I journeyed to the US with the girls. But God has been lovingly guiding us every little step of the way:“Don’t lose your grip on Love and Loyalty. Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart. Earn a reputation for living well in God’s eyes and the eyes of the people. Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track.” – Proverbs 3:3-6That’s our family’s testimony, baby! As we listen for God’s voice in everything we do, He lovingly directs us. It’s just up to us to follow God’s leading and be obedient to Him in every move we make. Not that we get it right all the time, but we try! I just asked Duro if he was sure God was directing him for his new internship, entirely out of his comfort zone. He said he’s excited and enthusiastic about it, and I said that’s how you know God is directing you. Do you feel any doubt that this is the next right move for your life? I asked him. Doubt, stress, and anxiety are God saying, “Hold up, let’s rethink this move.”I told him about the beautiful message I got from God today. My husband completely went into me yesterday about our business here that I’ve been working to get on track. I said, “Hon, how many car dealerships do you see being run by women? It’s a male-dominated business that I’ve courageously with God’s assistance jumped into trying my best with my little knowledge. I might have made lots of mistakes in the process, but I tried my best.” Can you believe this showed up in my appointment with God this morning after hubby’s brutal comments:“I AM PLEASED WITH YOU, MY CHILD…You don’t have to perform well in order to receive My love.” – Jesus CallingAnd this is the love I want you to know and feel for yourself. It’s not like love from other humans that’s based on your performance, it’s a love where no matter the mistakes you make, He loves you unconditionally. He holds our sins and past failures as far from us as the east is from the west. Don’t miss out on this love and direction for your life!!! Make 2022 your year to be closer with God!WEROLLWITHGOD.COM
