I’m seriously missing my very comfortable life in Nigeria right now! But like my daughter told me, “Mom, you’re on a mission!” And I’ve happily accepted my assignment from God, realizing this is a sacrifice for Him – Everything is between God and us not between us and anyone else – FOR REAL, FOR REAL!!!
And waking up every day, striving to be the wife, mother, daughter (my mom is here with us!) and person God would have me to be has led my life on a lovely path – despite the hard work at the moment. I see my entire life as a gift from Him:
| ▪ | The extraordinary husband who I have such love and respect for |
| ▪ | These hardworking and responsible daughters who are going the extra mile in making us super proud |
| ▪ | My wonderful sons who have given up their mom for a bit as a sacrifice for their sisters |
| ▪ | My 87-year-old mom who came from the Bahamas to keep our company (who I get to vent all my frustrations to for some excellent advice on how to handle them) |
| ▪ | Our staff here who make going to work enjoyable and a fun challenge we’ve taken on together as a team |
| ▪ | Our staff in Nigeria stepping up, even more, to help hubby while I’m away |
| ▪ | The people who keep my neighborhood so beautiful that I get to go running in every day to recharge and have some alone time with God |
And I can go on and on seeing everything from the perspective of – God, You did all this for me?
Even the challenges are gifts – they’re helping me to become ALL God has created me to be. The comfortable life in Nigeria has made me very lazy, if I’m sincere. I need to step up my game in spreading this GREAT news that God is intimately involved in every aspect of our lives and how much He unconditionally loves all of us! The next book is on the way! God, gracious (thank You in Spanish!)
