That’s the message I seem to be picking up from God. I told ya’ll, He is pretty talkative once you get to know Him! It started with my housekeeper and cook leaving us over the holidays. Let me tell ya, your girl over here was NOT HAPPY that I would have to spend the “holiday” cleaning. At one point, I asked God, ‘What did I do to deserve this?!?’ I told my hubby that if we weren’t traveling, let us at least check into a hotel. But he just wanted to be home.
But like every so-called “bad” experience, God had a reason behind my hard work! When a friend asked, “How was your holiday?” and I told him about having no house help, he amazingly said, “It was a good experience.” And honestly, those words from him hit the nail on the head. It was an excellent experience where me and my super daughters ROSE to the occasion.
Sometimes there were MOUNTAINS of dishes to wash, and we would put on some music and make it happen. And because of all the dust in Nigeria, that meant lots of mopping and dusting. But at the end of it all, we conquered it, and we were pretty proud of ourselves. Mission cleaning and cooking accomplished, baby!
Thank God my husband loves to cook, and every day the girls would take turns being his assistant. It was great bonding time. As we washed dishes, we chatted about some super important stuff. We truly bonded and are even CLOSER as a family. Thanks, God!
God, again, spoke to me through a meditation book about how we neglect the most important to less important things. I knew it was another message because I sincerely WASTE TOO MUCH TIME ON THE UNIMPORTANT.
Then, there was a comment about my website, “No new content?” I was pretty embarrassed that the last time I had updated it was like over a year ago. Shameful, Nik!
So, when Darin Olien said this on a Rich Roll podcast, I knew it was another message from God to me:
“Sorry audience. Quit f around. Quit dabbling in this stuff. You’ve been to these things. You’ve seen things. Take that knowledge and do something with it…”
He also said, “Underneath all of it, I do want people…to live a super life. Like I really do.” Like I really do, too. I want the world ROLLING WITH GOD and living a super life with Him as our Coach and Guide.
God, I got the message. I will stop being so lazy, unfocused, procrastinating, and spending too much time on the unimportant. Thanks for the wake-up call.
Are you paying attention to what God is saying to you? Don’t miss those alone times with Him. He just wants to make us better! Let’s give up ANYTHING that’s holding up back – including LAZINESS!
KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
