That’s the message I’ve been sensing from God lately, with Pop Smoke’s song, ‘Enjoy Yourself’ playing in my head. Last year, the message from Him was about doing hard things. This year seems to also be about doing hard things, but with one added twist: Nik, you should enjoy yourself! Wink! Wink!
That was the message to my daughter, Julie, studying for a crucial examination she took today. ‘Have fun with it! Turn it into a lighthearted challenge that you enjoy doing!’ was my motivational speech to her. Shortly after that, God had something He wanted to add in when a Rich Roll podcast that I continued listening to said, “Finding the joy… Be your own biggest fan of your life…If you embark on something, doing something that feels like is connecting to your soul, what you’re meant to be doing here, it’s humbling…you feel so at one with the cosmos that you feel like a speck. Wow. That’s how beautiful the world is, and I’m playing my part.”
I told her that it was her and God who came up with these grand goals she’s set out for herself and that she should take the experience as an adventure with Him, finding the joy in being a speck in this massive universe, yet playing her part in the world that God has called her to do.
Then, Pastor Rick Warren had this to say to me today:
“Worship is far more than praising, singing, and praying to God. WORSHIP IS A LIFESTYLE OF ENJOYING GOD (Wink! Wink!), loving Him and giving ourselves to be used for his purposes. When you use your life for God’s glory, everything you do can become an act of worship. The Bible says, ‘Use your whole body as a tool to do what is right for the glory of God.” – The Purpose Driven Life
Let’s do it all for God’s glory, my peeps! Today I had the boys with me (trying to up my game with them after Ember harshly criticized me that I’ve abandoned them! The horror!)) while picking up Julie from school. We ended up stopping at three parking lots so that the boys and I could do some work to help out my husband. I was so proud to show them that life is about always giving our best in everything we do. All for the glory of God! Joshie made me laugh. He said that anytime I ask a question, the answer is always God! (SMILE) Let’s be the rocking people, enjoying God, doing our best, and leaving the rest with Him! IN GOD WE TRUST, BABY! (Wink! Wink!)
