WE HAVE A SWEET THING WITH GOD!

“THANK YOU FOR THE STRENGTH THAT IT TOOK TO GET US HERE”That was the beautiful prayer my daughter, Julie, said before we left her sister, Ember, to spend her first night at college. To God be the glory, guys! Let me tell you; it took superhuman strength to get her there. I think back to me planning all the study dates with her friends, my late nights being her study coach, not to mention the strength it took to leave my husband and sons in Nigeria as we went out on a limb with God for her to finish her high school in the US. Now, the ball is in Ember’s court. Before leaving, I encouraged her to make God her priority. To seek to please Him in every decision. To be wise in all her actions by asking God to be her Partner and Guide. Amen!I can’t get over the love of God! Like I wrote this in a recent post:“My other numbers from Him are 7 and 11, showing up together in either direction. This combination is God saying;- Nik, wherever you are, there I am- My invisible Presence is always with you- You have my help, support, love, approval, wisdom, strength, favor, protection, and guidance available to you on a moment-by-moment basis”Can you believe Ember’s university is located directly off of road 117? See the love of God and how He seems to delight in EVERY detail of our lives. Those signs with these huge 117 on them were all I needed to rest in His peace knowing that even though I wasn’t with Ember, His Presence is there. That lined up too perfectly to be considered some coincidence, even with the hotel we stay at working out to be 1107 miles from our home. Call me crazy, but I have no doubt that God’s invisible Presence is always with us, no matter where we are, He is there. Amen! We shall be known as the family who God loves!!!He just asks of us to go overboard in love, patience, forgiveness, gentleness, and kindness with each other. Not always easy, but when we write off the disappointments against everything God is doing for us, we must say, ‘God, anything to please You, let me learn.’ I promise you, He gives us more than we can ever ask or imagine. As for me:“I press toward the mark for the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Supermom, superwife, superperson, all for the glory of God!
