A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE FOR LIFE

That’s what God gives me! I’m talking in every aspect, He has changed me.

In trying to get our business here on track here in Florida, my hope is in God, baby. That little by little, we’ll do our best in the physical realm, and He’ll do His best for us working in the spiritual realm (Wink! Wink!). Even if we’re at nothing, God can turn our nothing into something. My attitude is, ‘Didn’t God create the entire universe from nothing? Is anything too dificult for Him.’

I feel His Presence strongly in my sprit, giving us His direction in what He would have us to do, solutions to challenges that pop up, and strategies to improve, and even sending people to assist us. I’m also, importantly, learning to be brave. My husband is in Nigeria, and I’m here having to make decisions without him, but I’m continually looking to God. So, knowing I’m not tackling this alone, and that God is standing with me, gives me the strength, courage, patience, and endurance to keep going. Even with our losses and mistakes, God uses them to teach us valuable lessons to move forward better than ever.

In the parenting department, I just spoke to my Emmanuels (hubby and two sons). They’re all hanging together today. Every moment my sons are around their dad, I know they’re learning from him essential values for living their best lives – discipline, a strong work ethic, and our family’s way of conducting business in a way that honors God. Not that we get it right all the time, but that’s our aim, and to treat customers how we would like to be treated. I’m seriously missing them, but I’m entrusting them to God. I’m not there, but He is.

As far as our marriage, God has also changed my perspective. It was a conversation with hubs recently when I said to him that my brother Kevin has been keeping me cool during this quarantine period, and he asked, “Why is it that Kevin has to keep you cool?” I told him that I wasn’t finding it funny knowing he was all the way in Nigeria without me. But, when I thought about it, hubs was right. I shouldn’t need my brother to remind me of how blessed I am to have this amazing husband who has stood with me for the last almost 19 years. He has truly earned my love, trust and respect. We go through our ups and downs, but our commitment to stick it out for better or for worse stands intact more than ever. I show up as the best wife, and I leave the rest with God (Wink! Wink!). Sometimes that may mean pretending to be deaf, dumb and blind because no one is perfect, but yesterday God reminded me: “Love to be blind, since it is I (God) who am leading you if you really want to put your hand in Mine. Don’t you think fathers are happy when their little girls leave everything to them in simple tenderness?” – He and I
