“WHY ARE YOU SMILING?”

My daughter, Ember, just caught me enjoying an appointment with God. I was thinking about my Thank You Run in the rain this morning and all the things I’m feeling so grateful for. And, of course, I’m giving all the glory to God for His help in EVERY ASPECT OF MY LIFE.

My hubby had just called from Nigeria, and he was a big part of my Thank You today. Having such a loyal and faithful husband for almost eighteen years, putting up with this “crazy” wife has been a HUGE blessing from God. His fidelity to the kids and me is something I cherish, and even when I’m tempted to get upset at him for ANYTHING, I just forgive and IMMEDIATELY let go – NOBODY’S PERFECT. Thanks for sticking with us, Pops! May I be an even better wife to you! Ride or die chick for life! Amen!

I also feel so grateful to Coach Bennet and the Nike Running Club app. I could leave out for a run feeling so depressed, burdened and overwhelmed, and I come back, like today, feeling super confident, grateful, and happy that I could take on whatever comes my way. Today, he reminded me that I’m capable of more. I’m still fighting with myself to leave my lazy, comfort zone where I continuously procrastinate and not give my best and that was just the reminder I needed to leave my new best friend – Netflix – and to be about important work for God. BTW, you’re capable of more too!

That work is to bring you this great news that God is intimately involved in every moment of our lives. This was the message from my meditation book today:

“My child, outside and inside, let everything about you speak of Me (God), give Me, make Me understood among the ignorant, the baffled, the hungry, the fearful, and the suffering ones. Tell them that I am there for every state of soul. Tell them to come to Me and I’ll never let them go. A God who loves… Just think of it.” – He and I

God is the foundation of my gratitude. I’ve gladly accepted His invitation. I feel so loved by Him. No matter the challenge, I know He’s with me, and I follow His guidance through my spirit as to what He would have me to do, step by step and one day at a time. Will you accept His invitation? This life is too difficult to do on our own. God, may we all enjoy an even CLOSER walk with You. Amen.
