“SURE IT’S REALLY BORING TO ROLL WITHOUT GOD”

Was a comment I read this morning!
EXACTLY!!! God has totally gotten a bad rep with people thinking life with Him would be unexciting, but my experience has been nothing short of a GRAND adventure. I wake up every day not knowing what to expect from one moment to the next. I just got back from an excellent run with Him in beautiful South Florida, and I came back a new person.
‘Wow, God, I get to live this life?’ is how I’m feeling! I’m on a bleisure trip – business and leisure – away from Nigeria! My mom came to join me yesterday from the Bahamas, and I’m enjoying every moment with her. We had dinner at our fav Cheesecake Factory (the leisure part of the trip), and today it’s back to business.
The run was spot on for me where Coach Bennet and Andy Putticombe gave me the perfect advice on the Nike Run Club app. I don’t know why I’ve been so anxious, lately, when I think about the future and they said that instead of being insecure and nervous about the future, we can be excited and inspired by it. That we can replace the negative, scary thinking with positive thoughts of unlimited possibilities with an increased appreciation of every moment. And when I add in the God factor, being there with me in the present holding my hand, AND in the future waiting to help me accomplish all these potentials, I’m talking the BEST LIFE – FORGET BORING!
Then they talked about how to change of thinking about the past as well. We can look at it as lessons and learnings, and let everything that has happened in the past change us to be better. No more beating ourselves up and dragging the past around with us, let’s hand over the mistakes and failures to God (who will use it for our good!) and BEGIN AGAIN to be a brighter, more sparkling version of ourselves. Ain’t NOBODY PERFECT!
The background music, with God as my DJ, got me even more excited when ‘The Secret Garden’ played with God reminding me that HE IS TAKING CARE OF ME, which was just another reason why I need not worry about the future – He’s got me! I have FULL CONFIDENCE IN HIM that He will help me get through ANYTHING that may come up in the future. This was confirmation of what I had read in my hour with Him through one of my meditation books early this morning: “As for you, I’m taking care of you.”
Life with God is so NOT boring! I pick up on His Presence with me almost everywhere. Like this other song He played for me today:
“Arms around youTe amo (I love you) mami, let Me hold youWrap Me arms right around you, girl, oh yeahGood lovin’ got all around youTo make sure no one could harm youDale (Let’s go), mami, let Me have you, ooyy” – Arms Around You
God, I’m ALL Yours!
KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
