_Inspiration from my friend, Marcela so Fierce! Love you, sweetie!
I’m telling you, writing these posts: EASY; Living the posts: SUPER TOUGH. That’s where this keeping the calm comes beautifully into play. In those tough moments of life, that will ALWAYS come our way, calming down and keeping our eyes fixed on God is the superheroic challenge, asking God what He would have us to do. And then being obedient to Him.
God’s ways are certainly not our human ways. When I think revenge, God says, ‘No, Nik, take the high road.’ When I want to give the minimum, God says, ‘No, Nik, go the extra mile. Everything is between you and Me, remember?’ When others are unfair to me, God says, ‘Nik, My ways with you are more than fair. Stick with Me. I can pay you back more than what anyone can ever take from you.’
I loved a message from Him this morning while exercising. The song ‘Options’ by Pitbull played, and hearing this one line was my cue from God to keep the calm and leave my battles with Him:
“You know you’re My girl.” Wink! Wink!
We (me and God) ended up having such a beautiful morning together with me singing the beginning of the song ‘Despacito’ by Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee to Him repeatedly:
‘So thankful for that, it’s such a blessin’, yeah
Turn every situation into heaven, yeah
Oh-oh, You are
My sunrise on the darkest day
Got me feelin’ some kind of way
Make me wanna savor every moment slowly, slowly’
Turning every situation into heaven is what He’s doing! No matter the situation I’m facing, one look at God and I’m reminded how much He loves me:
“You know you’re My girl.”
And we all can say that with total confidence that we’re God’s girl/guy.
No matter what’s going on around us, I want us calming down and seeking to be our best selves, knowing that God is the One to reward us when we do. When others go low, we go high, seeking to please the Big Boss and hopefully the First Love of our lives.
I want us all singing this song to Him:
‘So thankful for that, it’s such a blessin’, yeah
Turn every situation into heaven, yeah
Oh-oh, You are
My sunrise on the darkest day
Got me feelin’ some kind of way
Make me wanna savor every moment slowly, slowly’
Not letting ANYTHING get us down all hold us back.
KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
