And how HE has beautifully led me to a VERY HAPPY LIFE!!! But, WE (me and God) want YOU along with us—Hey, I don’t want to be this joyful by myself! Like between God and my hubby, they have me spoilt! This morning, seeing some mangoes on our kitchen counter from yesterday, I didn’t want them; I requested fresh ones from our tree outside! Spoilt, I say! Not that I have a perfect life, either, but God has been teaching me such valuable lessons like GRATITUDE, PATIENCE, CONTENTMENT AND KEEPING MY HOPE IN HIM, that I think I can spend my entire life saying, “Thank You, God!”

So, here’s an example of how God guides me. After yesterday feeling like He was saying not to wash my hair, today it felt like He said yes I should. I thought I could quickly get it done, and get right out to work, but I ended up doing some other stuff. I then called my hubby/boss and asked if he still wanted me to come in. He then asked me if I wanted to, and I quickly responded, “Whatever MY KING wants!” He said I should come, and I came.

HERE’S THE DEAL:

RELATIONSHIPS ARE TOUGH! But with God’s and a good friend’s guidance, I’m enjoying a pretty successful marriage, if I do say so myself! The wisdom that I want you to obtain from this little story is how God has taught me HUMILITY, not arrogance and self-interest.

It was years ago, and I was having an argument with hubby that was lasting for a few days when I finally went to God and asked what HE would have me to do. It was no coincident that I opened my meditation book directly to a page saying something like even though my way is good, it would PROFIT ME MORE to FOLLOW the will of another. And I’ve ran with that advice. Years later, it’s still PROFITING ME MORE to follow my wise husband.

I consider myself hub’s Vice-President. One day I told him that I completed a task for him, he immediately corrected me and said, “You’ve completed it for yourself!” Meaning this is how he makes money to take care of us, so technically I did the work for myself.

I’m so loving our dinner every night together with our sons. Again, this was wisdom from God. I said to hubby one day, “I’m not eating until you get home.” This was after a God wink from someone who told me a story about fasting and a wife waiting until her husband came home to eat. As if God was saying, “Wink! Wink! Nik!” I PAID ATTENTION! And since then it has become our nightly routine. I wait until he’s home so that I can enjoy my one cooked meal of the day with him. When someone called last night asking him why he was home, he said, “I’m here enjoying looking at my wife’s beautiful face.” And in today’s time, I don’t take it for granted that I have a hubby who wants to spend evenings with his family. Thank You, God!

God is still talking, folks! This is only one aspect of my life where He has successfully guided me. Through my meditation books, advice from others, thoughts and impressions that come to mind, can all be ways in which He communicates. It’s up to us to learn His voice and to be OBEDIENT to what HE would have us to do in every moment! Wink! Wink! What are you waiting for? Pray and invite Him into your life! He loves getting involved!

KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
