“I NEED YOUR ADVICE ON SOMETHING PLEASE”
That was me calling for a friend for help deciding whether or not to cancel Netflix for my daughters. I couldn’t make up my mind because they’re such great girls, but at the same time, I’ve noticed how it’s becoming such a distraction. She gave me the perfect advice, “Allow them to watch during holiday times only.” Thanks, my girl!
Fast forward to that evening, God had something to say about it through our Office Manager, Martha. We were driving together, and I don’t even remember why, but out of the blue she remarkably said, “I’ve canceled my Netflix.” Wink! Wink! I couldn’t believe it. I told her how I called my friend all the way in Nigeria because this Netflix subscription was really bothering me. I took that as God Himself confirming, ‘Nik, Cancel Netflix.’ Mr. Netflix, we love you, but we’ll see you again soon, during the holidays!
That was another one of my God winks where everything lines up strangely too perfectly to be an ordinary coincident. God is pretty talkative once you get to know Him – START PAYING ATTENTION!!! That was no coincident! It was His loving way of helping me make a significant decision as well as remind me that He is always with me. How great is that? God’s Presence never leaves us. The school has moved the girls up to Honour level classes (proud momma here!), and I don’t want the TV to get them off track. Tough love! God is intimately involved in every aspect of our lives, just waiting for us to include Him. My phone screensaver still has this crucial message from Him:
“May your life be Mine-uninterruptedly Mine.”
God, a big YES! Will you also accept that invitation from Him? To invite Him to be with us through the good, bad and ugly as we hold His hand tightly, and resting on His heart?
“Have you discovered what hinders you from coming? Discover and destroy.” – He and I
