“WHAT IS THE BALL IN THE AIR YOU KEEP REFERRING TO?”

 

Asked my sister, Juanita. I explained to her that I have a crucial matter I’m attending to in Nigeria. In this life you will have trouble! I consider myself the proud Vice-President of my hubby. “I’m at the service of the President,” I say to him. Meaning I’m here to support him in any way I can. So, when a situation came up, I had to leave the US and fly to Nigeria to help tackle it – this life is not for weaklings! But, I didn’t come alone; I brought Back-up: God.

 

That’s the message I hope you guys are getting: WE HAVE GOD TO HELP US FIGHT ALL OUR BATTLES!!! I’m the God maniac here, but He freaked me out yesterday when I investigated a matter that had your girl here all agitated. Unbelievably, it magically resolved, pretty much on it’s own! Like poof. Disappeared. It’s another testimony of how God is at work in the spiritual realm on our behalf. I can show up every day, do my best with whatever God would have me to do, then I can turn the hard and challenging parts over to Him. That goes for every aspect of my life: parenting, marriage, business, health, and other significant relationships.

 

I still have my anxious moments, like when that issue first came up. I remember stopping at a gas station to have an appointment with God. To remind myself that I wasn’t handling the problem alone. Within minutes (AGAIN, God working in the spiritual realm on my behalf!), I got a phone from the person who took the entire matter into hands and beautifully resolved it for us. This was after his boss told me that there was nothing he could do to help us. God is too much!  He used the boss’ assistant to help us. The only thing I honestly did from that point was to follow up on the status with a couple of emails and calls. Next thing I knew, poof! The problem was gone!

 

That’s why I stress to you guys that everything is between God and us, not between us and anyone else. I’ve decided to use all the disappointments, losses, and frustrations as fuel to motivate myself to be better: a better wife, a better mom, a better person for God, no matter what anyone else is doing. To step up my life in every area and, most importantly, make God, even more, a part of every moment. THEREBY TURNING THE LOSSES INTO HUGE WINS, BABY!!!

 

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” – John 14:27

 

 “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the LORD’s salvation (deliverance from harm), which He will accomplish for you today…The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” – Exodus 14: 13-14

 

I loved a recent alone time with God when He said to me, “Watch to see what I will do!” God, I’m watching with total confidence in You! He said it saddens Him when we doubt Him! Let’s kick our faith in Him up a notch! Shall we? Using all the past times when He has come through for us as our reminders that our God doesn’t disappoint! He is the same today, yesterday, and forever!
