That was me to my hubby a short while ago! Honestly, it’s my honor and privilege to show up for him as my best self because this hubby goes the extra mile for us. No joke! Even though I told our son, Joshie, not to bother him about making burgers for them today, my hubby insisted on jumping up from resting to go to two different food stores to track down this burger meat to make our sons happy. Honestly, hubs has earned the name Joshie has given him: Better than best hubby and dad!
And in all that, let me tell ya how God showed up for me! So, I was in our bedroom searching for a hair product to try a different style I saw on YouTube that I felt God nudge me in my spirit to give it a try – I’m His influencer, so I gotta be looking cute, right? As I’m looking, hubby walks in and says he’s going to the store, and I said I wanted to come too. The first store didn’t have the desired product, but I got another one. The next thing I knew, we were off to another store. Get to the store, and their telephone number included my famous 7 and 11, and of course I took it as another wink from God that His invisible presence was there with us. As soon as we got inside, I went to the hair products section, and can you believe they had one more jar of the exact product I wanted. Call me crazy, but that’s the love I receive from God. Anything that is a concern for me is a concern for God. God even got hubby up from resting to take me to this new store to find what I was looking for! (I don’t drive in Nigeria!)
That’s why Julie said if you look up spoilt in the dictionary, you will find a picture of my daughter Ember and I holding hands. Between God and hubby, we are pretty spoilt, I’ll admit, and that is why I was being tough on her to get a job and why I’m even tougher on myself to push myself harder.
Joshie just asked if I wanted some of the burger and fries, but I told him no, that I’m back on my Tom Brady mode (The greatest of all time mode, doing everything for the glory of God!). I felt God pushing me in my spirit to start back up after I’ve had too many cupcakes and sodas lately. I really want to up my game as a wife, mom, and person for God in the world.
I began a new 50 days of running the 5K (3.11 miles) every day at the request of hubby this time. It is God’s way of challenging me to be better, and training me as an athlete to be stronger (mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally). God, let’s do this! I’m a soldier in God’s army, baby, to make the world a happier, more loving and most crucially bring humanity CLOSER TO GOD! That includes you!!!
“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31).
