That was my daughter, Ember, to me two evenings ago, but today my attitude is, even during my worst year, I’m gonna be killin’ it. Meaning, as defined by urban dictionary, “To do something with the best of your ability; to become a legend in the process.” Never let a good tragedy go to waste! I’m using all the negativity as fuel to motivate myself to be better, stronger and most importantly, LOTS closer to God. Heehaw! Are you with me? Let’s recommit our entire lives over to pleasing and honoring God in every moment, no matter the challenges that come our way. WE ARE RELYING ON GOD. Finish!
God has been showing up for me all over the place! Like right after Ember made that comment, I pushed her to have an appointment with God, reminded that her and my daughter, Julie, are like my audience right now. They’re watching and learning valuable life lessons from their mamma on doing life lovingly, kindly, bravely and courageously with God! I had just written this in my last post:
“MY GREATEST STRENGTH Is knowing that I CONSTANTLY need God!!!”
And unbelievably, Ember decided to reads her birthday for that alone time with Him, and it shockingly said (written as if God was speaking to us):
“I DESIGNED YOU TO NEED ME CONTINUALLY—and to delight in that neediness.” Wink! Wink!
So, for me to write MY GREATEST STRENGTH Is knowing that I CONSTANTLY need God!!! and a couple of hours later, He says back, “I designed you to need me continually,” was no coincident. It was God Himself revealing His invisible Presence with me and Ember. (SWEET!!!)
Then, after my husband sends an old picture of us together yesterday, I felt God saying I should respond with this specific message back to him:
“Forget the former things! God is doing a new thing! He is taking our family to new and greater heights! HE WILL MAKE A STREAM in the wastelands, a spring in the desert.”
Just feeling God Himself was the one dictating to me as to what to write (He is my help in every aspect of my life!). Long story short, the girls came out to run errands with me, and as we’re driving next to the highway, Ember shocking points out a LONG STREAM of water flowing that was not there before. Apparently some nearby lake overflowed from lots of rain and I immediately thought of that text to my husband: HE WILL MAKE A STREAM. God did!
THIS WAS NO COINCIDENT! That was God finding a NEW way of showing me His deep love and attention. I was at peace the entire day driving around with my daughters KNOWING GOD HIMSELF WAS THERE WITH US.
