GOD, I’M STAYING ON THE HIGHEST ROAD WITH YOU!!!

That’s me to God yesterday after He found two unique ways for our number “311” to show up on a messy day. I’ve written so many times about this “311” as God communicating with me, saying that I should stay on the high road with Him. That I should BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD and that He is behind the scenes of my life fighting battles for me. So, when I want to stress, get frustrated, and anxious about anything, He sends this “311” to beautifully say, ‘Nik, I got you! Relax and enjoy your life!’

Yesterday turned about to be one of those frustrating days, but God was right there with me every step of the way. I told you how God picked a special white Audi Q5 for me that I love so much, but I had to sell it with the intention of getting it back by purchasing another vehicle for this customer. I did that, but the bank that approved him for the Audi didn’t like the new purchase. So, we forgot about it until he came by again and saw another vehicle that he liked, and I ended up getting my Q5 back. Yayy!!

But, here’s the part where God comes sweetly in. The customer had left the vehicle full of gas, and when I finally went to fill it up yesterday, the pump stopped all by itself to exactly 17.311 gallons, with God sweetly coming through to remind me that He was standing firm with me as I took on some difficulties for Him that day, asking me NOT to turn into the crazy lady, but stay on the high road with Him.

That was that morning, but by that afternoon, when the crazy lady wanted to return, God amazingly found another way for the “311” to incredibly show up. This one started with my son, Joshie, coming to work with my husband and insisting on posting ads on Offerup. I didn’t want to discourage him from getting involved in the family hustle, so I allowed him. The next thing I knew, in the middle of an appearance from the crazy lady within me telling me to spew out everything I was angry about, I got a call from Offerup saying Joshie asked them to call me. Honestly, guys, I was so blown away by God’s attention to my life because as I explained to the person calling me that we already had an account with them, I smiled with God as I remembered how much we pay them every month to post our vehicles there: $311!!! (Wink! Wink!) The crazy lady went away, and I stayed on the highest road with God, reminded that NOBODY WILL LOVE ME BETTER THAN HE CAN and that I shouldn’t expect too much from other humans but hold them in their proper perspective.

I’m sticking with God, and I want the entire world here! After making that decision, God even had a lady selling roses to give me some for free. I kept telling her that I didn’t have the cash to pay her, and she insisted that I should have them. The roses are God’s way of reminding me to enjoy the beautiful life I have, despite the thorns and weeds that show up regularly. Even as I type this, I have a shirt from my son, Emmie, filled with roses as my constant reminder to focus on the beauty in my life. AND THERE IS SO MUCH!!! I enjoy reading emails from Julie’s dream university in New York that accepted her and I’m reminded of how God exceeds my expectations when I stick with Him on the high road. WE NEVER LOSE WITH GOD!!! Everything is between God and us! Let’s make Papa God happy by seeking to be the loving, patient, calm, enduring (the glue holding our families together), faith-filled and faithful people He would have us to be. IGNORE the weeds and FOCUS on God!
