“I’M HAPPY TO HAVE MY WIFE HERE WITH ME”

That was my hubby to me yesterday, and I’m so overwhelmingly thrilled and grateful to be here with him as well. But I can’t get over how God figures out these sweet ways to reveal glimmers of HIS PRESENCE HERE WITH US. Like the first night I arrived, I said let’s say a prayer together with hubby and our sons. I got on my knees next to our bed, but my son, Joshie said, “I don’t need to get on my knees because God doesn’t care what position I’m in.” I go to read an appointment with God in our Jesus Calling Devotional for Kids from where my son, Emmie, had left off, and this incredibly showed up (written as if God was speaking directly to us CONFIRMING EXACTLY WHAT JOSHIE HAD JUST SAID):

“I don’t care about the position of your body—I care about the position of your heart.”

Wow! That blew the God maniac here away! That lined up extremely too perfectly to be some ordinary coincidence for that book to so specifically confirm what Joshie had just said like 5 minutes before reading this. That’s the love of God I want you guys to know and experience for yourself! Our God is always with us!!!! Its just for us to have ears to hear Him and eyes to see Him!

Then, today, I got the feeling from Him to read post 86 in my book. Honestly, I didn’t get why He wanted me to go there, but after hanging up from a phone call about an hour later, an old post suddenly appeared on my phone from our family’s website, and I got the nudge from God to read it. It incredibly mentioned the book, The Happy Family, and can you believe this was the exact book I mentioned in that post number 86 in my book. Again, it was God’s sweet way of letting me know that His invisible Presence is always with me and that I handle nothing alone. God Himself is in the storms, fires, and struggles of our lives. Here’s what that old post said:

“GOD SHOWS UP AGAIN TO REVEAL HIS PRESENCE WITH US (HUGE SMILE)

This is another one of my God winks, where everything lines ENORMOUSLY TOO PERFECT to be considered an ordinary coincidence. This one started yesterday morning in a conversation with a friend about her marriage. I kept telling her that she had to set the tone for the house, being her most loving self, going the extra mile, and staying on the high road with God, no matter what her husband was doing. Then, by her showing up with that spirit, her husband would be motivated to change. She should do her best and leave the rest with God because nothing was too difficult for Him. No matter how terrible the situation may seem, she should keep giving her best for God.

Fast forward about an hour later, I randomly opened my meditation book of Bible verses, and God confirmed what I said when this was the very first verse that I opened DIRECTLY to:

“Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives. – 1 Peter 3:1

I immediately sent a pic to my friend and called her. But she freaked me out when she told me that she had just read the same thing five minutes before. I told her I didn’t believe her and that she should send me a picture of what she had read. She sent this:

“If matters of conscience come up, an unbelieving husband is more likely to respect his wife’s position if it is presented with a “mild temper and deep respect.” Some unbelieving husbands have been won through the conduct of their wives (Wink! Wink!), because of having been eyewitnesses of (their) chaste conduct together with deep respect.” — 1 Peter 3:1” – The Happy Family

Wow! The love of God in action! See how He is so deeply and personally involved in our lives! How could this be some mere coincidence? For me to open this book of over 300 pages of Bible verses and read THAT specific one first, then to call my friend back saying this is God’s marching orders to us, for her to tell me in an entirely different book this same message from 1 Peter 3:1 showed up only 5 minutes before, was completely and totally orchestrated by God to make us ALL aware of His invisible Presence with us. It brought such great comfort to my friend, letting her know that God was there with her, helping her to fight and stay strong for her family.”

Our families sticking together is important to God! Make sure you are having your alone times with Him! These glimmers of His Presence give me joy, courage, and strength to be the person, wife, and mom God Himself would have me be. This life is too hard to do on our own! God knows the beginning, middle, and end, and He is involved in every aspect of our lives, but we must take the time to seek His face and ask for His help and guidance. Don’t miss out on a life close to God!
