YOU GUYS ALREADY THINK I’M CRAZY!
So here goes another one of my God stories! I needed to talk to my husband about something important yesterday, but God told me in my spirit to call him later. When I did speak to him, he started asking me for the price of a new iPhone 15. I said, “Roughly $1,000.” He questioned me repeatedly, and I kept saying, “Hon, like $1,000.” But let me tell you how God showed up.
God has a way of taking our attention where He wants it, and He brought my attention to a paper with a big “$1000” written on it. And because I’ve learned God’s voice so well, I knew this was no coincidence, but God Himself made me aware that He was with me as I discussed that crucial matter with my husband. It was another one of my God winks where things lined too perfectly to be considered an ordinary coincidence. Of all the places for me to be standing to have that conversation with hubby while he kept questioning the price of that phone, for God to take my attention to that paper directly in front of me was God’s way of showing me, such deep love. Not only me but my family.
That was an exceptional conversation with hubby, who gave me such great advice. Thanks, boo! And because God made His Presence known, that meant your girl here had to be on the highest road )no turning into crazy lady) but be the wise, calm, supportive, and loving wife God would have me to be.
Believe it or not, God went as far as to confirm that this was Him because I got to my God tree at 6:43 today, and this showed up on page 43 of our family’s website where something similar happened some years ago:
“To have a healthy and happy family is a HUGE blessing from Him that I’m not taking for granted! His wisdom in every aspect of my life is seriously working. So much so that when He asks me to do difficult things for Him, I just have to say, ‘God, anything for You!’ Like yesterday at the dentist’s office. I used the time waiting for the boys to talk to my husband in Nigeria. Trust me, I had a lot that I wanted to say in that conversation, but God figured out a way to tell me, ‘Nik, SHHHHHH. Be quiet.’ Exactly where I was on the phone, outside in the parking lot, my husband said, “I spoke to your MOM for over one hour. Did she tell you?” Immediately as my husband said “MOM,” God took my eyes to the license plate of a parked car that incredibly had the word “MOM” inside. This was one of my God winks where, once again, everything lined up too perfectly to be some ordinary coincidence. It was God revealing His invisible Presence with me there.
And with one glance at God, I knew what He would have me to do: “MUMS THE WORD, NIK. BE SILENT! To hold back all the words I wanted to say and stay on the high road with Him. ‘Yes, Boss!’ God exceeds my expectations when I stay on the path that He has for my life. Not easy, but when I look back, I can see that God’s ways are always best. He is making your girl stronger, more mature, loving, forgiving, and much more patient. ‘God, how may I honor and glorify you in every moment of my life?’ is my constant prayer.”
As Ceri explains, God is constantly speaking to us and giving us updates throughout the day. Our job is to develop a relationship with Him so we know when He is talking, and we can be obedient to Him and what He would have us do. This is how He guides us to the best lives with Him! Amen! And no matter how far you feel you are off track, God will help you find your way back. No situation is too difficult for Him! Wink! Wink!
