“WE’RE SO GHETTO!!!” (REPOST)
That was me to my daughters yesterday! They wanted to play tennis, and the one tennis ball we had was at my office. So, instead of going to buy some more balls, we politely collected the ones that were left around by other players, and we had ourselves an excellent tennis tournament with me beating them both. Heehaw!
I actually wanted to go for a run, but Ember wanted to play tennis. With one glance at God, though, I knew what He would have me to do – work on a closer relationship with your daughter by showing her your love and attention. Yes, Father! And that’s where I want us in EVERY moment, seeking God’s guidance for our lives.
The tennis turned out to be a good thing as we got some other stuff done at our home association’s office. When I told the lady we’ve lived there for 15 years, she was amazed, and I was reminded of how God has really guided our lives beautifully. When hubby and I found this house, we knew this was the one for us after looking at so many other homes that we couldn’t agree on. But with this one, we felt excited, at peace and knew without a doubt that this was the one.
Every morning as I go for my run with God in this beautiful neighborhood, I thank Him for His guidance. Fifteen years later, we’re still in love with this home and area. Now, even the college the girls want to attend is only minutes away, and I just can’t get over how God has every aspect of our lives so perfectly planned out, even FAR ahead into the future. A life guided by God cannot fail! He knows what’s best for us. PERIOD.
Are you seeking God in every decision? That peaceful and happy feeling, knowing without a doubt that this was the home for us, is how God astonishingly guided us. I remember hubs and I loving this house so much that we would ask for the key while we waited for the closing just to hang out like little kids. Super excited! However, all the other ones we weren’t so enthusiastic about, that was God saying, ‘No, not this one, guys.’
All day and every day, start paying attention to your feelings as God becomes the main Guide of your life. No peace, feelings of doubt, stress, worry are God’s way of saying hold up, this may not be a good move for you. Joy, excitement peace, however, are usually Him saying, Yes! This may be a good move, but still, proceed cautiously listening to Me one step at a time. Don’t make a move without Him!!!
