| ”Wow! What an excellent question from my Nike Running Club’s Coach Bennet on my morning run with God. Perfect question for the crazy lady over here! In fact, I’m taking this as a question from God Himself because we all can be our own worst enemies when we let these negative thoughts bring us down. Let me tell ya, God has been my GREATEST FRIEND in helping me tackle them. Here’s how:I felt a nudge from Him in one of my low, depressed, thinking too much negative thoughts period to begin again my 50 days of discipline.It’s my way of challenging myself to be BETTER in some weak areas, but I never stick completely with it. I have an important date coming up, and I thought this was precisely what I needed to gear up for it. I grabbed my phone and calculated how many days from that starting point to my big date and unbelievably it was exactly 50 days. I gave God a smile because He already knew that the 50 days would take me directly to that date. I felt it was His Spirit putting that thought in my head – Nik, start your 50 days of discipline again! No doubt whatsoever. And because I KNOW it was Him, where everything lined up too perfectly, that I’ve pretty much stuck with the discipline goals this time. Not entirely, but MOSTLY and some amazing things have happened, y’all.One of the goals was instead of spending 2 hours reading meditation books, I would spend 24 hours with God. And oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness. As I’ve seeked Him in the good and bad times, I’ve found Him.Like the other day when I was so determined to buy those dealer supplies. A complete stranger told me to meet him somewhere and the very next day another stranger showed up to buy a vehicle from us with a trade-in purchased from the EXACT place where I met the supply guy from the day before. That lined up EXTREMELY too perfect to be some random happening. It was all orchrestrated by God, revealing His invisible Presence with me – Nik, I’m with you, I’m with you, I’m with you! As I’ve seeked Him, I’ve sweetly found Him.So, when the negative thoughts want to come up, I simply remind myself that I’m rolling with the King of Kings, and He is taking excellent care of me and my family. I think back of all the times God has shown up for us, and I immediately dismiss the negative thoughts saying, “God’s taking care of this for us!’ I then do my best with whatever I feel He would have me to do on my end, and I politely, confidently, and happily turn the heavier parts over to Him. I’m going through my life lightheartedly, having fun with Him in every moment, 24/7, baby! Anything comes up, I know with Him on my side I can tackle ANYTHING. Ain’t worried ’bout nothing!WEROLLWITHGOD.COM |
