GOD LOVES ME TOO MUCH!!!

That’s my testimony, baby! Like today at my prayer altar, I asked Him in my Spirit what page of our family’s website (werollwithgod.com) He would have me read. I felt Him saying page 2, and HE REVEALED HIMSELF STRONGLY THROUGH THIS ONE PAGE TODAY. Like this old post showed up:

“Like a little wink, I got from Him today was when my husband took a phone call this morning and had to speak to “Jeremiah.” He looked at me and smiled at the name “Jeremiah.” Fast forward less than an hour, and I randomly opened a Bible, asking God what He had to say to me, and I opened it directly to, of all chapters, “Jeremiah!” Wink! Wink! God’s little fun way of revealing His invisible Presence with me. And He is always with you, too!!!

Some important words I picked up from Jeremiah, though: “I THE LORD SEARCH THE HEART.” God knows everything about us, and His love for us is completely unconditional.

Fast forward a few hours, I’m at a store, and incredibly, there is a poster there, incredibly saying:

“I THE LORD SEARCH THE HEART” – Jeremiah 17:10

No coincidence! God Himself is making me aware of His Presence with me! Next, on the same page 2, I wrote:

“And knowing God’s Spirit is always with me and fighting battles in the spiritual realm on my behalf, and tweaking situations in my favor is what gives me the courage, joy, and peace to show up to my life and do everything for His glory. In fact, today, I felt like He was singing these words to me:

“Every morning you rise and open your eyes, I just want to be there with you (HUGE SMILE)” – You, by Jesse Powell.

As I sang back to Him:

“Every morning I rise and open my eyes, I just want to be with You… I wanna be yours from this day forth!”

Can you believe, as I’m typing this post, out of my God’s Girl’s playlist of over 1,000 songs, this very one is the second one to play? Forget about it, I AM GOD’S FAVORITE PERSON!!!! Heehaw!

But I have to warn you that God does ask us to do some HARD things, and He does put us through tough times, but I love this perspective from my brother, Ceri, today also on page 2:

“So, when your girl here wants to get all anxious and crazy, God says, ‘Nik, relax; I got you!’ By my strength, we will tackle all the difficulties in your life TOGETHER. And even if God doesn’t change the situations, as Ceri has wisely taught me, God will change your perspective! (Wink! Wink!)

Like today, this also showed up on page 2:

“A team player thinks of his teammates whenever he makes a move, and he makes decisions according to what is better for the team, not just himself.”

“Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also the interests of others.” – Philippians 2:4

Can you believe God went as far as having me read another poster at that food store saying:

“Think of the people counting on you (Nik, your team). DO NOT GIVE UP.”

Let’s go! Not giving up on being the people God Himself would have us be, even when it’s hard (crazy lady please go away!). I promise you, no better perspective on your life than knowing that the Creator of the entire universe is walking with you. Make sure you are waking up every day to your own personal God morning routine. Have your own prayer altar and ask Him what He has to say to you personally. See all the messages He used from one page to make me aware of His presence and to personally give me guidance and His wisdom on what’s going on in my life right now!! THIS LOVE FROM GOD IS SERIOUS!

“Jesus (God), what is Your perspective on every moment of my life? Every relationship. Every decision. Every circumstance. And how can I enter into it to glorify You?

BE GREAT EVERY DAY…WE ROLL WITH GOD

ANOTHER ‘WOW, GOD!’ MOMENT

Before starting my run today, I asked Google for the verse that asks, “What can mere mortals do to me?” and it responded:

“The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” – Psalm 118:6

Fast forward a few hours later, I go to my Breakfast and the Bible group, and IMMEDIATELY as I entered, Precious (the group’s moderator) incredibly says:

“The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”

I was totally and completely blown away by how God’s love and divine timing showed up—she was reading the precise Psalm 118:6 verse I Googled today. And this is not the first time for the week that God used Precious to speak to me. I wrote about it in this post:

“GOD IS REALLY TALKATIVE!!!! Just a random thought came to me in a frustrating moment: “Nik, don’t get weary in doing good, you will reap a harvest if you don’t give up.” Like 10 minutes later, I felt God nudging me to go to my calendar, where I feel He speaks to me, and it says on the flip side of the day:

“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” – Galatians 6:9

Then a few hours later, I go to my new influencer’s wall, iamjgoss, on TikTok, and he incredibly drops this verse in a random video:

“Listen, Galatians 6:9 tells us, ‘Let us not grow weary in doing good.’ For at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

And if that’s not enough for you, this morning I showed someone a picture of my daughter, Julie, with the caption of this verse from 2 years ago, and my YouTube video of yesterday with the same caption. Fast forward about two hours, and I’m in the Breakfast and Bible group, and of all the verses for Precious (the group’s moderator) to lead the group in reading, it was this very verse. NO COINCIDENCE!!!!”

See the intimate love and attention I receive from God? For Him to have Precious show up twice in one week to confirm that verse: THE LORD IS WITH ME!!!!

Today, I asked them to pray for my brother, Jason, who had been fussing at me for not attending the group. “Nik, how could you be talking so much about the group and you don’t go and participate? That’s wrong!” Now your girl is such a big fan of attending the group because I realize that the people you surround yourself with are key to living your best life. Their Godly influence has been priceless!!!

I asked them to pray for Jason who I call Jah (God’s son) because he is always trying his best to advise me and always looking out for his little sister. He calls me stubborn because I don’t take all of his suggestions. I explain to him that we both lead such different lives – he’s single, I’m married to a husband I’m called by God to love and respect, and four kids counting on me to keep our family together. So, some things from J I run with and some things I don’t. That’s where my relationship with God comes in, as I tap into my discernment to see what God would have me do. Moment by moment, decision by decision, always making God the center of every move I make.

“Jesus (God), what is Your perspective on every moment of my life? Every relationship. Every decision. Every circumstance. And how can I enter into it to glorify You?

BE GREAT EVERY DAY…WE ROLL WITH GOD

GOD GOTTA BE THE ONE WE KNOW!!!!

This life is no joke, guys! No shame, I’m running to God all day, seeking His Presence and guidance, and let me tell ya, GOD DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! This wink from Him started yesterday when I spoke to the Breakfast and the Bible group, where I said specifically this:

“Indira, I’m going with your message of faithfulness. That’s my word of the year: FAITHFULNESS. No matter what anyone else is doing, I want to be faithful to this God who is so faithful to me.”

Fast forward a few hours, and again running to hear from God, I read a post from my book entitled, “Great is Thy Faithfulness.” Then, minutes later, I went to search for old blogs in my email, and the feeling was to search for “strategic,” and the first one to appear was me quoting these verses:

“The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; _
His mercies never come to an end; _
They are new every morning; _
Great is Your faithfulness.” – Lamentations 3:22-23_

Let me tell ya, I was there venting to God, “God, I’m going to tell the group tomorrow, I’m taking back this faithfulness. Forget this faithfulness!!!” But with one glance at God, I knew what He would have me do: “Nik, be faithful regardless of what anyone else is doing.” I said, “Ok Boss, anything to please You.”

Fast forward to this morning: when I got to work, I asked my sweetie, Naomi, what she read for her appointment with God. Incredibly, it was Day 70 out of 366 posts in my book saying this when I had an appointment with Him years ago at a friend’s house:

“The FAITHFULNESS was a big one that day. We’re called by God to be loyal, dependable, and trustworthy, no matter what anyone else is doing.”

How can my very words to the group yesterday appear in Naomi’s appointment today? When I replayed the message from the group for her yesterday, we both felt so elevated and elated. We both felt God’s Presence was right there with us. We gave each other a big hug.

I spoke to her very sternly, though, telling her not to play around with her relationship with God because this life is just too hard to do without Him. OUR GREATEST STRENGTH IS KNOWING WE NEED GOD. She must not lean too much on other people – hold everyone in their proper perspective. God must be our God and not people. We must keep our focus on Him, learning His wisdom and being the WISE people He would have us be BY BEING OBEDIENT TO HIM.

The reason why I’m making FAITHFULNESS my word of the year is because of God’s strong faithfulness to me – YOU CAN INDEED LOSE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE, BUT YOU CAN NEVER LOSE GOD. I’m betting my entire life on Him! The way He shows up for me with His deep love, help, and support, who am I not to be faithful to Him, constantly asking God, “How can I please You here?” No matter what anyone is doing. Vengeance is mine, says the Lord. He repays the good and bad, so let’s be His peeps in the world, overcoming lots of evil with God, so help us God.

BE GREAT EVERY DAY…WE ROLL WITH GOD

GOD IS REALLY TALKATIVE!!!!

Just a random thought came to me in a frustrating moment: “Nik, don’t get weary in doing good, you will reap a harvest if you don’t give up.” Like 10 minutes later, I felt God nudging me to go to my calendar I feel He speaks to me through, and it says on the flip side of the day:

“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” – Galatians 6:9

Then a few hours later, I go to my new influencer’s wall, iamjgoss, on TikTok and he incredibly drops this verse in a random video:

“Listen, Galatians 6:9 tells us, ‘Let us not grow weary in doing good.’ For at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

And if that’s not enough for you, this morning I showed someone a picture of my daughter, Julie, with the caption of this verse from 2 years ago, and my YouTube video of yesterday with the same caption. Fast forward about two hours, and I’m in the Breakfast and Bible group, and, of all the verses for Precious (the group’s moderator) to lead the group in reading, it was this very verse. NO COINCIDENCE!!!!

As I said, God is pretty talkative and His gentle whispers and nudges throughout the day give me such courage and comfort! Are you picking up on all God’s communications throughout the day? Honestly, when I watched that iamjgoss video, I was having the worst day, feeling so overwhelmed and frustrated, like nothing was going right. It’s like God personally snuck that verse in that video to surprise me! But the next morning, I woke up with renewed strength, feeling God Himself was telling me to stay strong and keep fighting. My hope and optimism bounced back up as I was reminded that my help comes from the LORD and nothing is too difficult for Him.

Julie taught me to forget logic because everything is possible with God! No matter the situation, God can turn it around! God’s timing is perfect and He is the One to reward our efforts (God is our real Boss!!!). Heads high, my peeps! Our God is with us, for us, and on our side! Stay prayed up, and make sure you have your daily appointments with God. We can do all things with God’s strength behind us! Let’s go!

BE GREAT EVERY DAY… WE ROLL WITH GOD

NO MORE PAIN IN MY HEART

I’ve handed over the hurts, betrayals, doubts, disappointments, aggravations, irritations, worries, problems, discomforts, hassles, trials, insults, anxieties, burdens, troubles, tribulations, bitterness, unforgiveness, offenses, and afflictions to God! God, here, I’m giving it all to You! Do with them as You wish! I trust that with You, nothing is wasted, and even the challenges You allow in my life are all being used for my good. As You take away the negatives, You’re replacing them with Your joy, peace, love, strength, greatness, hope, kindness, favor, faithfulness, grace, approval, tenderness, blessings, generosity, compassion, guidance, and mercy. Heehaw! NOTHING IS BETTER THAN A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!!!

I’m continually amazed by how God reveals His presence in my everyday life, bringing me comfort and trust. Just last night, as my husband and I drove home, we talked about a former staff member, Abdul, who still keeps in touch. This morning, at my prayer altar, I realized that since I finished my run at 25 minutes past the hour, I checked page 5 of our family’s website. To my surprise, an old post appeared with Abdul’s words to me:

“… someone called me from Nigeria saying, “Don’t worry, Aunty, God will send an angel to calm your mind.”

What are the odds that the person we discussed just last night would pop up on page 5? This is no coincidence; God was showing me another glimpse of His presence, making me aware that He is part of every conversation and every moment of my life. I remember that discussion with Abdul well; I was in the U.S. at the time, and my mind was chaotic, THINKING THE WRONG THINGS!!! But Abdul wisely advised me, “Just forget about all the foolishness you are hearing. Get closer to God!”

I desperately needed to hear that, but the most incredible part of this story is that God truly did send me an angel (angels!!!) to calm my mind. I’ve shared before about my brother, Ceri, whom I would lock in our restroom just to relisten to his messages. I would record him from our Breakfast and Bible group—I have over 1,000 recordings! Ceri has genuinely been an angel in my life! He taught me that even when you lose everything and everyone, you can never lose God. I feel so close to God, and I’ll always be grateful to Ceri for showing up, for being God’s voice in my life, and for teaching me to have faith and make decisions guided by Biblical and Godly principles.

Our lives are shaped by the decisions we make; there’s no greater wisdom than following God’s guidance. I’m loving my morning routine with God, running up and down our stairs while listening to my prayer on YouTube via Daily Prayer With God, sitting at my altar, and meditating on what He wants to tell me. DON’T MISS OUT ON THE BEST LIFE WITH GOD!!!!

Take Abdul’s advice—pray for a closer walk with God and continually ask:

“Jesus (God), what is Your perspective on every moment of my life? Every relationship. Every decision. Every circumstance. And how can I enter into it to glorify You?”

BE GREAT EVERY DAY… WE ROLL WITH GOD!

IN THIS LIFE YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE!!!


No if, ands, or buts about it, but this is the Bible verse I go with:

“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. IN THE WORLD YOU HAVE TRIBULATION AND DISTRESS AND SUFFERING, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]” – John 16:33

That’s why I am so grateful to my brother, Ceri, who has Ceri’d (carried) through some of my toughest days! No shame guys, I would lock up in our restroom at work and relisten to his messages. Even some days just to get out of bed, I would relisten to his messages just to remind myself that I’m not going through life alone and that God Himself was with me. THIS LIFE GETS HARD AND OVERWHELMING, BUT THAT’S WHERE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD COMES SWEETLY IN. Here is one of my fav Ceri messages:

“Habakkuk 3:17-19 says:

“Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign LORD is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights.”
Today, I am just grateful for the opportunity that God gives us every morning to be here and live as righteous kingdom citizens. This particular verse stood out to me, and I bookmarked it in my Bible app and wanted to say it to you guys because the end part of it where it says, “The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights.”

So, growing up in Cat Island, one of the things that if you know about like goats and those kind of animals is that like you’ll be coming on the boat along like a tough cliff or edge right. When you look up, you will see hundreds of goats standing like on these tiny rocks. I mean, their forefoot would look like you have clasped your hand and just stood on the rock. It always fascinated me because I wondered what these goats were doing out there. It’s almost as though they were so confident that they wouldn’t fall and would climb these rocks. That’s what it means to be surefooted, to be confident in knowing that God will provide. God is going to fulfill his promises.

In this particular verse it reminds us that even when nothing seems to be going right, like you may wake up this morning and you may have no money today, you may not even have food today, but your faith can provide and let you know that before the end of the day, you will eat; before the end of the day, you can have money; before the end of the day, whatever it is that is promised to you, will come to pass. You can’t miss it even if you wanted to because it was written in the bells and courses of history before you came around. It was a part of a big, huge plan you just happened to be a part of. From the time you were put on this planet, you were a part of God’s plan. You can’t change that, and whether or not there’s something bad, or if you may think that it’s bad, but whether or not something good, it’s still a part of a greater plan.

Sometimes, the slight misery that you may be going through might be a lesson that could save somebody’s life. Sometimes, the fact that you may have to swallow your pride and ask somebody for something may uplift somebody to know that they could help you. Sometimes, the littlest things that God puts us through give us just gives a little more strength to know that we could make it to see another day because we often look at life and say to ourselves, I don’t know how I can make it. But you know who knows how? God knows how.

But the righteous shall live by their faith. Once we know that God will be faithful to his promises, he will do what he said He’s going to do. And through any adversity. Through any famine. Through any crop fails. If the fields lie empty and barren, you will continue to rejoice in the Lord. And you heard what he said in this particular verse? He said, “I will be joyful in the God of my salvation.” That means that no matter what you go through, be happy because at least you are here on this planet to go through it. Dead people don’t go through anything. I thank you again for the opportunity to speak. God is good y’all, and I’m just so happy to be here. Let the righteous continue to live by their faith.”

THIS IS THE GREATEST NEWS EVER!!!

That we do not handle our lives alone; GOD HIMSELF IS WITH US!!! I’ve been sharing with you guys for a few days now about me and hubby’s big fight (our love language!), but how God spoke to me by our prayer altar the next morning:

“Let me tell ya, no greater wisdom than wisdom from God. He teaches us through everyday struggles, like a big fight with my husband last night. I have a picture of my son, Emmie, by the prayer altar, reminding me to be the mom he needs on the high road with God, EVEN WHEN OTHERS ARE UNFAIR WITH ME, I REMIND MYSELF THAT GOD’S WAYS ARE MORE THAN FAIR and that I want to do my utmost best to please Him.”

After writing about it yesterday, my alarm for my 5 pm appointment with God went off. I again opened my 700-page Jesus Calling devotional and look what God had to say as I opened directly to this message written as God Himself is speaking to us:

“When others treat you unfairly, remember that My ways with you are much better than fair (Wink! Wink!).”

I couldn’t believe it! How could I be preaching this message for the last two days and God have me open directly to that page to confirm it? See the love, comfort, peace, joy, assurance, wisdom, guidance, clarity, companionship, and security you get from developing a relationship with God. That’s why I’m here to say that this is really the greatest news ever, walking in God’s Presence all day, every day!

Today, at our prayer altar, God showed up again. Just before we left work yesterday, we were talking to one of our very loyal customers and his wife. Can you believe this story about this very customer incredibly showed up after I felt God saying to read page 2 of our family’s website, werollwithgod.com:

“God also gives me the wisdom to help me endure. I had two videos uploaded to TikTok. One of them got 22 views. Out of those 22 views, one viewer showed up at my office to check on the status of a vehicle we are repairing for him. Before leaving, he said, “I saw you on TikTok talking about mercy.” This was the day after I turned into a crazy lady! There was no doubt in my mind that this was a total and complete setup by God to let me know where He wanted me to be with this situation that had me so upset, because “Mercy” is another one of those words Kevin and I talked about that no one uses anymore. I took it as God personally asking me to be merciful! Of my only two videos on TikTok, for that customer to be one of only 22 viewers of that one, and for that customer to show up at my office and mention it to me, was all orchestrated by God! Again, His deep love for my family and me! Nik, have mercy, please! The same mercy God shows us every day, He asks us to share it with others.

See how intimately God is involved in our lives? How could the very person I saw yesterday show up in my appointment with God today? His deep love stoops down and makes us aware of His invisible Presence!

Then, check out the wisdom we get from developing a relationship with God! Hubby and I are enjoying a joyful Sunday together. I made some delicious coleslaw to go with food hubs cooked outside at the office yesterday, and it was better than any restaurant food. Your girl ate twice! This is truly the best life with God, even through tough times, because there is always so much to be grateful for. GOD, I PRAISE YOU IN THE GOOD AND BAD TIMES!!!!

BE GREAT EVERY DAY…WE ROLL WITH GOD

GOD, YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL MY WAYS!!!

I can’t get over all this love and attention I receive from Him – WE ARE NEVER ALONE!!! Like I wrote this yesterday:

“Let me tell ya, no greater wisdom than wisdom from God. He teaches us through everyday struggles, like a big fight with my husband last night. I have a picture of my son, Emmie, by the prayer altar, reminding me to be the mom he needs ON THE HIGH ROAD WITH GOD even when others are unfair with me, I remind myself that God’s ways are more than fair and that I want to do my utmost best to please Him.”

Fast forward some hours later, my brother, Ceri, shared a post, and I commented:

“Wow! That’s precisely what I feel God telling me today, ‘Nik, STAY ON THE HIGH ROAD WITH ME. When others are unfair with you, remember My ways with you are more than fair!'”

Fast forward a few hours, I go to have an appointment with God, reading my over 700 page devotional, Jesus Calling, and after the first page I read didn’t feel like my high five from God, look what showed up on the very next page I randomly opened to, written as if God is speaking directly to us:

“STAY ON THE HIGH ROAD WITH ME (Wink! Wink!)”

Wow! Wow! Wow! God is pretty talkative, and what I can never get over is how intimately He is involved in every aspect of our lives. For Him to go to the trouble of having me go to Ceri’s post and the Jesus Calling to say, ‘Yes, My Nik, this is where I want you, on the high road with Me, forgiving plenty and loving extravagantly!’

And God confirmed another important message from Ceri yesterday! I sent him a video about how we forgive others, not for them, but FORGIVENESS IS FOR US. I thanked him for teaching me this crucial lesson. Can you believe this very message showed up by my prayer altar today:

“As Ceri says, this FORGIVENESS IS FOR US (Wink! Wink!). So we can have a clean slate with God. God, I did the right thing! And it gives us peace!”

So there you have it folks, wisdom direct from God! Let’s continue to be His representatives by staying on the high road with Him and by continuing to forgive ourselves and others. FORGIVENESS IS REALLY FOR US TO BE FREE AND NOT BOUGED DOWN WITH BITTERNESS AND RESENTMENTS.

In the conversation with Kevin a few minutes ago, I thanked him for teaching me to stay in the ring and not give up. We discussed how my bro, Jason, told me one day that he wished he had a wife like me and Kevin’s wife, who forgave them for everything. I asked Kevin, “Doesn’t God forgive us for everything we do?” So that’s the challenge from God: to extend the same unconditional love he gives us with others. So help us God!

I shared with Kevin how I felt God was singing this song to me today, and I was singing them back to the hubby on the ride to work today:

“I’m here for you, I’m here forever
I will be your fortress, tall and strong
I’ll keep you safe, I’ll stand beside you right or wrong
I will cross the ocean for you _
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength, anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time, promise you
For you I will” – For You I Will, Monica_

Let’s bring back love and loyalty, extending God’s grace, mercy, patience, kindness, and gentleness to others, starting in our homes and branching out from there.

BE GREAT EVERY DAY…WE ROLL WITH GOD

THIS LOVE FROM GOD IS A SURE THING!!!!

I’m so in love with Him! He has asked me to bring you to Him with joy. God, I’m at Your service! The joy of the Lord is our strength, KNOWING that we have the Almighty God, Creator of the entire universe, walking with us – that’s faith, baby! I loved a conversation yesterday:

THEM: “I lost everything, my life has been so difficult, prayers have become silent. My faith is so down. With that great faith you have, have you ever been down in your life?”

ME: Yes, it’s what made my faith so strong. You can lose everything and everyone, but you will never lose God.

THEM: I do seek the same. I even question a lot concerning His existence. Ok, how did you rise?

ME: That prayer has helped me a lot (YouTube via Daily Prayer With God). I have a God morning routine. I run for 45 minutes listening to that prayer every day. Then I sit and have appointments with God at our prayer altar, reading from our family’s website, werollwithgod.com.

THEM: Please pray for me to have a good connection with God.

ME: You must pray that for yourself, please, then seek Him.

That’s the key, guys, we must seek Him! I love this verse:

‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ – Jeremiah 33:3

Let me tell ya, no greater wisdom than wisdom from God. He teaches us through everyday struggles, like a big fight with my husband last night. I have a picture of my son, Emmie, by the prayer altar, reminding me to be the mom he needs on the high road with God even when others are unfair with me, I remind myself that God’s ways are more than fair and that I want to do my utmost best to please Him.

After that time with God, I went to pray with my husband and forced him to kiss me. He was telling me that I didn’t need to come to work today because he was still upset at me, and I responded, “I’m coming! I don’t work for you. I work for God!” I joke that the hubby and I’s love language is fighting! We have the biggest fights, but after we both hash out our feelings, we’re back more committed to each other than ever. Go figure! Love you, my boo! I remain your ride-or-die wife; no matter what we must go through, we will go through it together! I just shared these verses with my Breakfast and Bible group:

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” – Lamentations 3:22-23

Reminded that we’re to extend God’s faithfulness to the world. To be the loving, forgiving, loyal, dependable people on his behalf, no matter what anyone else is doing. Starting in our homes and spreading out from there.

BE GREAT EVERY DAY…WE ROLL WITH GOD

ARE YOU LEARNING GOD’S FUN PERSONALITY?

I am! I am! One morning, before chatting with a customer, I turned on the radio for some background music. Minutes later, as the he is saying to me, “One monkey don’t stop no show!” unbelievably, the radio station is playing a song with the precise lyrics, “One monkey don’t stop no show!” I jumped up with such enthusiasm and joy, knowing it was God revealing His invisible Presence there with us, when once again, and out of the blue, everything lined up too perfectly! That’s the fun and sweet side of God. I’m hoping you guys are getting to know it personally! God Himself orchestrated this entire meeting!

He is an older, retired gentleman, and he gave me a new perspective on my personal life and my work for God. We were on the test drive when I opened up the challenge of being in the US and my husband in Nigeria. “It hasn’t been pretty,” I confessed. I explained that I truly must keep my focus on God, closing my eyes and pretending I don’t see what I see, and closing my ears, pretending I don’t hear what I hear. He said, “You must do that! Otherwise, you will just be distracted by FOOLISHNESS. You must keep your focus on your kids and keep being the wise woman they need you to be and ignore the silliness that’s looking to distract you.” I promised him that I would share this message with the world – let’s keep fighting for our families, ignoring the FOOLISHNESS that’s trying to destroy our homes – stay strong!!! GOD IS OUR STRENGTH as we try to be His people in the world- loving hard and forgiving plenty! It is what it is, folks!

Then he shared that, even though he is retired, he was buying the van from me because he is supporting his granddaughter as she finishes her studies to become a doctor. He assured me that I did the right thing by dividing our family by bringing our daughters to finish their education in the US. It was a hard and huge sacrifice, but God has been with us every step of the way, even sending us great customers like him who pulled out his checkbook and paid me cash – those who look to the LORD will not starve!

This customer inspired me to keep going with God, and I’m reminded of these verses from the Apostle Paul:

“As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.” -2 Timothy 4:7

May we all make God proud by running hard the race God has called us to finish, accepting both the good and hard times, with God’s strength and grace! Amen!

BE GREAT EVERY DAY… WE ROLL WITH GOD
