“I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE YOU WHEN I GROW UP”

That was surprisingly my ten-year-old son, Siah, to me yesterday! “Are you being serious? Or are you messing with me like your dad does when he says that?” He said he meant it. And when I asked him what about my life that he likes, I was utterly blown away when he replied, “Your closeness to God… Like how God arranged the Justin Bieber concert for you.”

And if my son and I are the only ones who believe that God loves me that much to have Justin Bieber perform live, minutes away from my house, on my birthday, all the songs I felt God spoke to me through him, to comfort me during a very rough year last year, I’m OK with that. I want my kids knowing that they are not going through life alone, “God DEY!” as they say in Nigeria, to help them go through any rugged and rough terrain. Heehaw!

That was my message to my daughter, Ember, around 3 am this morning. She is in the US, while I’m in Nigeria, and when I woke up, I remembered that we hadn’t spoken the day before. I sent her a text asking if she was OK and when she responded, “no,” I quickly called her. She’s struggling with an advanced level class, and I told her about my last YouTube video where I told the world about how God said to me through Justin Bieber’s song, “I’M AVAILABLE,” and how I run to Him in all my challenges and low moments. That He is also available to her 24/7 to pray and ask for His guidance on what to do.

Right after our talk, I hung up and felt a nudge from God to have an appointment with Him. I opened up, The Purpose Driven Life for Kids, and it asked if I wanted to go to a page in the book that it was opened to on another device. I clicked yes, and it astonishingly took me to Day 117 entitled, ‘ALWAYS AVAILABLE (Wink! Wink!).’ This lined up too perfectly to be some ordinary coincidence. Less than a minute after I said to my daughter that God’s available to help, He confirmed it! That was His sweet way of letting us know that His invisible Presence is always with us. My fairytale love affair with God continues (HUGE SMILE)!

Ember is on a streak with God, reading this kid’s devotional, and today will be her day 117 of it, which made the wink even sweeter because whenever I see the numbers 11 and 7 together, it’s my little cue from God to remind me that His Presence is right there with me. That I can go through life knowing He goes before me, stands with me, and goes ahead of me to level the mountains I’m facing. He is pretty awesome like that! He is available for you too! Just start seeking Him like my Ember is doing in her daily appointments with Him and then going to Him all day long for His guidance, support, strength, and love.
