“NIKKI, GO AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH GOD!!!”__

That was advice the other day from my friend, Danny, when I called her extremely angry. We’re each others’ sounding boards when it comes to this marriage thing – it aint easy! She suggested I go and randomly pick a number from my book and see what God had to say to me about the situation. But at the time, I was so upset, I didn’t want to hear any of God’s positive advice!

Fast forward to that night, right before sleeping, I said, ‘OK, God, what do You have to say to me?’ I used the scroll button at the bottom of my phone to randomly select where to read from an electronic version. I couldn’t believe it when this incredibly showed up:

“THE BEST MARRIAGE ADVICE EVER…

… Focus on God! Respond to difficulties from a calmer, kinder, respectful, patient and more loving space, allowing God to direct you with His wisdom. Rest with God while He fights on your behalf!”

I’m talking DIRECTLY to that very page and title!!! No coincident! I felt like God Himself showed up to be with me and comfort me. Out of a book of 366 blog posts, I knew this was Him, again showing me His intimate involvement in every aspect of my life. You can’t beat God’s love!!!

So, what I’ve learned is that God has to be our first love. And all of our actions should be from a place of ‘God, what would YOU have me to do here?’ Not what crazy, angry lady wants to do. What would You have me to do?

Others will continually disappoint us. That’s life! But going to God and asking for His guidance and direction has really led my life on an amazing path. Not always easy, but when I look at the BIG picture, THIS IS THE GOOD LIFE WITH GOD. Don’t miss out! Start involving Him in EVERY decision you make always seeking to do the right, excellent and most loving thing. This is how He guides us on the best paths. Wink! Wink!

Dear Lord, grant us grace to stay faithful, loyal and committed to our families no matter the challenges we face. You wipe our slates clean every day. May we do the same for our loved ones. Amen.
