“NIK, LET’S HAVE THAT FISH FOR DINNER THAT EMMIE LIKES”

That was my hubby this morning, making me so happy! Such love he shows us! I’m honestly enjoying the Emmanuels (husband and sons) here in Nigeria, despite feeling sick for the past few days. It’s like God knew I needed this little downtime to wake me up to all the beauty in my life. He has guided me on a very gorgeous path thanks to me continually asking this one question: ‘GOD, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ME TO DO HERE?’

It wasn’t always easy, especially when the crazy lady wanted to come out, but with one glance at Him, I knew what He would have for me to say, where to go, what to think, and what to do. And because of the great love I receive from Him, I respond, ‘Anything for You!’ Staying on the high road with Him, going the extra mile in love and forgiveness has paid off. God’s ways are nothing like our human ways, they’re so much better!

I want us all continually going to Him in the 1,000 decisions we make every day, asking God to be our Partner. No area is off-limits for Him, He is an expert in everything! And He loves getting involved in our lives!

Last year, I wrote how I would always call my brother, Kevin, for advice, but this year, I feel God saying, ‘I want you coming to Me, Nik.’ Kevin has been my crutch to lean on, and in my spirit, AGAIN I feel God saying I should lean on Him. He’s my strength!

I know that it sounds hard to believe that the Creator of the entire universe wants to be a part of our lives, but He does. This love I’m experiencing from Him is nothing like you will ever get in this world. He has to be our first love and priority, and we should make our decisions from there, going through life resting on His heart (this life is rough!) and seeking to please Him.

This is the way He guides us on the best paths for our lives. He knows the future, and He knows the ultimate best direction we should take for every aspect of our lives. It’s just up to us to invite Him in and start seeking His help. ‘GOD, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ME TO DO HERE’ Then start listening to Him in your thoughts. You’ll begin to know His thoughts and impressions versus your own. Also, through our feelings, He communicates with us. Like if you think about going in a certain direction and you don’t feel peace, excited or happy and instead feel doubtful, nervous or paranoid, that’s God saying to rethink that decision. You’ll begin following that KNOWING that isn’t explainable, you just know this is the way to go. Call it gut or instincts, but you’ll just KNOW this is what God would have you to do.

That KNOWING has helped me to make some pretty major decisions, and I don’t regret any of them. Like marrying this husband after knowing him for only 5 months. That was 19 years ago! Even when I didn’t know it was God, I can now look back and connect all the dots and know it was His loving hands guiding me all along. Don’t miss out! Make God your life Partner!!!
