“THIS VOICE IN MY HEAD GUIDED ME TO THE SPOT WHERE I AM TODAY” (REPOST)
That’s from my guy, David Goggins, talking about God. Call us both crazy, but that same voice has led my life on a stunning path. So much so that I even questioned Him yesterday, ‘Why do you care so much about my family and me?’ This was after I KNOW without a doubt that He had me to go to a special bakery on Saturday to receive some important messages on the wall there:
Practice Patience – Peace – Forgiveness – Gratitude – Courage – Hope – Let your smile change the world – Love is an act – Joy – Inspire
He put me there to tell you a story. That I went into that bakery feeling broken down, depressed, disappointed, and hurt, but I came out God’s little superhero with an important message: FIGHT FOR YOUR FAMILY. DON’T GIVE UP.
Our families are extremely significant to God. On Sunday, that Voice (God) said I should run 10 miles. It took me three hours to finish, but I did. I asked Him where I should run, and He led me to a running path close to our home, right next to a church. The name of the church is Calvary, and that again was an important message to me from Him. Calvary was where they crucified Jesus, and that very morning, God had me to reshare an old post where I wrote:
“And let’s not forget the sufferings we have to endure, tolerate, and deal with on a daily (the thorns of our lives). We can joyously offer them to God as our gifts to Him as a sacrifice for all that He does for us. LET’S CONTINUE CARRYING THE CROSS FROM JESUS. God will be our joy and our strength as we seek to be the loving and forgiving people He would have us to be. Our reward is with Him!”
That Calvary church that I ran repeatedly pass in that three-hour run is to tell you guys that we’re to continue carrying Jesus’ cross, especially in our homes. I know it’s hard, but it’s our gift to God who does so much for us. When we are weak, He will be our strength.
Yesterday, it was such an honor and privilege to have our daughter, Ember, work with me. She’s such a faithful soul. We didn’t get home until almost 9 pm, but it was a great day seeing God’s FAVOR in action; He exceeds our expectations. THE LORD IS OUR SHEPHERD!
