“…You don’ agree with many of my decisions, but yet I’m the most successful person you know?” That was me having some fun with my daughter, Julie, last night. We were having a special dinner at Chilli’s, and I was asking her and my other daughter, Ember, some conversation questions and this one I especially enjoyed:
“How should success be measured? And by that measurement, who is the most successful person you know?” – conversationstartersworld.com
Both of my daughters said that I’m the most successful person they know based on success being measured by characteristics such as peace, joy, following God’s will, and living a life of purpose. Woohoo!!! They especially love how despite people thinking I go a little bit overboard with my God stuff, I still follow my heart no matter what anyone else thinks of me. I told them I love being the crazy God lady because normal is boring. I do me, and doing me as led my life on an extraordinary path and a pretty great life.
Honestly, I was so thrilled hearing this from these daughters who are forever telling me that they don’t agree with my choices. Now they get to put it all in the proper perspective – these choices have been what have gotten me here to this life what they consider successful. And it’s because I have made God my Life Partner. He is my number one priority and focus. I go to Him in the 1,000 decisions I make every day asking what He would have me to do. I follow His will, seeking to be obedient to Him, and He truly gives me more than I can ever imagine or expect. I pretend that there is a wooden bar (a yoke) connecting me with God as I go through life with Him. I take on the lighter parts and I hand the difficult parts over to God. His ways are not our ordinary human ways, they’re so much better!!! Don’t miss out!
