“WE’RE DEFINITELY IN SYNC!”

That was me to my brother/angel from God, Kevin, a few minutes ago. Something happened this morning, and he was amazed at how his spirit gave him the heads up before it happened. I told him a recent experience with me and how my spirit was also giving me the nudge that there was a problem, but I didn’t listen. Just yesterday, I told my husband that the lesson was for me to pay attention MORE to what my gut/spirit/instinct was saying and not ignore it. Kevin was calling to tell me the exact same thing I told my husband! So, I’m taking it as a reminder for all of us to LISTEN FOR GOD’S VOICE IN EVERYTHING WE DO!!! The more you pay attention, the clearer His voice gets to the point that you will know precisely what God is saying to you on a moment-by-moment basis.

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” – John 10:27

GOD IS PRETTY TALKATIVE!!! I want us to listen to God all day, every day. I love the appointments with Him that I have with my sons every morning on the way to school. I shared these verses with them yesterday and how they are the foundation of their mom’s life, and God has not led me wrong:

“Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track.” – Proverbs 3:5-6

God is an expert in everything, and I’m learning to go to Him for advice in every aspect of my life! Like I told hubby that we should celebrate tonight. He asked what for, and I told him we should celebrate Julie’s award she received last night. The college she attends awarded her for being a part of the Distinction Society and her academic achievement. Again, I can’t get over God, who nudged me in my spirit in Nigeria to send an email to Julie’s high school in the US asking if Julie could attend this college for her last year of school. The entire family was upset at me for pushing Julie out of school early, but I insisted that it was not me, it was God. Now everyone is convinced that it was all planned out by God Himself!

And so many other things we must celebrate, like Emmie getting his third honor roll certificate for the year, Joshie being the most improved version of himself, Duro going hard with his internship with Amazon, Ember is about to finish her first semester of university and hubs and I are celebrating twenty years of marriage, and we’re even more committed to each other than ever before. We may go through our dark nights, but we always come through them stronger. Go figure! A LIFE GUIDED BY GOD CANNOT FAIL!!! God has been the center of our family, and He hasn’t disappointed us.

Make sure you are listening and being obedient to God (even when he asks us to do hard things), as this is the way He guides us on the path to the best life with Him! We still have our share of troubles, just like every other family, but we know who walks with us: GOD!!! Our motto is simply to do our best with whatever He asks of us, and leave the rest with Him! (Wink! Wink!)
