GOD, WHATEVER YOU WANT ME TO DO!

He seems to be asking something difficult, and I’ve answered, ‘God, anything for You. I have options, but You’re my top one!’ In every situation, in every aspect of my life, when I follow His leading (seriously sometimes going against what I want to do), everything somehow works out way better than I expect.

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…” – Ephesians 3:20

I have a confession. I’ve made some big mistakes recently because I’ve been trying to run our business here in Florida without going to my husband for his advice and guidance, and it has NOT turned out well. I had to call him yesterday in Nigeria and say, ‘Hon, I need you. I’ve messed up because I didn’t want to seem like baby wife calling you for advice, but that has not worked out. Anything I’m doing, I will get you involved.”

And it’s the same way with God. We can do life without Him, but I don’t recommend it. Even talking to someone today who is being divorced by his wife and unable to see his daughter, I had to give him a little pep talk. I said look where you’ve gotten trying to make decisions on your own – things are not going well. Slow down and learn to go to God, and He can help you get everything on track again little by little. I showed him my new screensaver (a message from God):

“May your life be Mine—uninterruptedly Mine” – He and I

Amen! So that means slowing down and listening to Him in every moment in every decision asking what He would have me to do and taking time to read my meditation books to learn His voice and His wisdom. When He says get hubby involved, NOW I listen. I accept the fact that when it comes to business, hubby has much more wisdom and experience than I do. And when it comes to living our best lives, God is the best Advisor there is. He is an expert in EVERYTHING!

Are you seeking input from God? Yesterday was such a great day with Ember officially getting her drivers’ license. Even with that, I see God’s hands. It’s been extremely stressful having to leave my office to rush and pick them up like 40 minutes away at school, but from last summer Ember asked, ‘Can I get my learners’ license.’ After a conversation with God, I said, “Sure, go ahead.” If not for that, I would be stuck driving them for an entire year!

It was the advice of a parenting book from nine years ago that also taught me, ‘Teach your children to be independent of you as soon as possible.’ That advice is paying off big time. I am so proud of these independent daughters I have. I see God’s hands in connecting me with the lady who loaned me that crucial book. That advice resonated with me in my spirit (God’s voice!), and before doing anything for my kids, I always think, ‘Can they do this for themselves?’ That direction from God in regards to parenting has seriously paid off! The girls are now both bragging about their all A’s so far! Keep it up, my fierce daughters and sons! ALL THE GLORY GOES TO OUR LOVING GOD!
