“NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE VALUE OF THE PEOPLE YOU SURROUND YOURSELF WITH”
That was me to my siblings in the Bahamas a few minutes ago. My sister formed this WhatsApp group that we call ‘A God Alliance,’ and it truly has been God bringing us together. NO DOUBT! Every day I faithfully post a pic of my completed Nike Running Club run with them. Being the big sister of the group, I thought this was my way of inspiring everyone to be better, NOT KNOWING this was God’s way of HELPING ME. I love you guys!!! Love being the big sister of the group!
Whether I felt like running or not, I did it because, initially, I promised them 30 minutes a day. When the 30 minutes became too challenging to keep up, I still kept running, even if only 5 minutes. I didn’t realize it at the time, but now I can see clearly that this was God making your girl here STRONGER – mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. His love is too much!!! Loving the results of my 50 days of discipline so much, I upped it to an entire year of discipline, constantly working to tackle my weaknesses.
“For the time being, no discipline brings joy, but seems sad and painful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness [right standing with God and a lifestyle and attitude that seeks conformity to God’s will and purpose].” – Hebrews 12:11
Another alliance, my fierce babes (daughters), has inspired and motivated me on another level. They showed up to work on Saturday, all dressed in our company’s shirt, ready to rock. The manager said they didn’t stop working the entire day. They kept calling asking me what I needed help with. A video of them pressure cleaning and scrubbing the outside ground, made the super momma so happy.
They’ve inspired me to up my game! I had my son, Emmie, walk around with my husband for two hours yesterday, and by the time we got in the car, he was exhausted. But this is the way to the best life: hard work and excellence, baby! You do well, and people notice, most importantly, God notices (Wink! Wink!). Like I’ve taught my daughters, no one gives you respect; you earn it. God is our ultimate Boss, and He sees everything we do! So, give Him your all, and I promise you, He will give you more than you can ever imagine or expect from Him.
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31
