A GOD WINK WITH MY MOMMA

I hung out with her for a little bit last night, and God LOVINGLY showed up to reveal His invisible Presence. I had just shared my YouTube video of the day, entitled, ‘God Exceeds My Expectations,’ about how He gives far more than what we can ever expect or imagine. I asked her to pick a number from my book to read to her between 1 to 366. She picked number 300, and it amazingly said this:

“God can do anything, you know-far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!” Wink! Wink!

That’s certainly my testimony! God blows me away with His love. MY ENTIRE LIFE IS A MAGNIFICENT GIFT FROM HIM, including this momma! Her advice and the way she lived have tremendously influenced me.

She dragged us so often to work with her, where she taught us about going the extra mile. We would always hear, “If you’re a street cleaner, be the best street cleaner there is.” And that advice worked!

When it was my time to work, I did the same. I always wanted to impress my supervisors. I worked through lunch breaks, and I stayed late, even going in on weekends. That paid off when my boss came to my desk one day and said he wanted me to attend the same university his son attended in New York. This was after my mom said she couldn’t afford for me to finish college, and I had to get a job.

But here is how God EXCEEDS and gives us far more than we can ask or imagine. I ended up leaving the Bahamas, graduated from that university in New York, and then came back to the Bahamas. I soon after that, though, got married to my husband and ended up working with him as his business’ finance manager. Hubby was the buyer of cars, and I would help customers get loans to pay for them. That education that I got in New York, along with all my previous work experiences, fit in EXTREMELY perfectly with my husband’s already existing business.

A little bit too perfectly, that I KNOW, it was all God HIMSELF aligning everything for us, including our meeting. That’s why I can confidently say, “God’s plans for us are REAL good!” Even my sister in law, being a witness to our lives together, said to me the other day, “You have been my brother’s gift from God.” But her brother has been God’s gift to me. We make a great team! When one is weak, the other is the strong one and vice versa and we’ve been keeping each other up for almost 19 years now. I love our life with our four beautiful, wonderful, and smart kids. If you’re a street cleaner, be the best street cleaner there is – GOD IS OUR BOSS!!!

God, YOU HAVE EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!!! May we all live full lives honoring You in everything we do. Thank You for being my Guide and Partner. Amen!
