That was me to my nephew, Duro, yesterday. My sister, Marilyn, and I kept missing each other’s phone calls the entire day, and when we finally connected she said, “We’ve been playing BO PEEP,” at the exact moment Duro and I were driving past a store, ‘BO PEEP (Wink! Wink!) & HATTIE’S GROCERY.’ I’m talking extraordinarily timed and orchestrated by God to reveal His invisible Presence with us. Another one of my God winks where, out of the blue, everything lines up a little bit too perfect to be some ordinary and random occurrence. It was God reminding us of His love and deep involvement in every moment of our lives.
Are you feeling His sweet Presence with you? I’m telling you, this is the sweet life with God where I can wake up every day KNOWING He is on my side helping me with all my struggles and challenges. Helping me to fight battles in the spiritual realm while giving me the wisdom and strategies to take care of situations on my end. He is pretty amazing like that! Solutions will magically pop in my head, and I would know right away its from Him because I’m not that smart. LOL!
I feel so confident in God’s direction and His help with me that I sent my hubby a text message that I want to take over an essential aspect: “What I’m doing with this business is not for you and me. It’s for our grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will be eating from there by God’s grace. I feel God’s Presence strongly with us. Let me show you what I can do with God’s help.” Your girl is Godfident – Confident in God!
This is a business we’ve had for 27 years by God’s grace. We’ve been through our ups and downs but with God, we’re still standing. When we’re weak, fall, or make mistakes, He always shows up to help. Even when it feels like we’re back at ground zero, He says, ‘No problem, little by little and one step at a time, we’ll get things back on track.” We do our best and leave the rest for Him. In God we trust.
“Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good,” is where I want us knowing that God will be our reward when we stay on the high road with Him, doing what He would have us to do. I’m training Duro that in every moment, every example and every experience, that we’re to do the right thing and excellent thing because God is our Boss. I’m so proud to see him up his game in working with us. I’m proud of you, Duro. This business is for you too!!! I told him soon we can open another location for him to run. We’re putting our complete hope in God, KNOWING He doesn’t disappoint when we live lives honoring and pleasing to Him. Amen!
