“FORGET WORST YEAR; THIS WILL BE MY BEST YEAR EVER!!!” (REPOST)
That was me to my fierce daughter, Ember, who called me a little while ago. She said to me a few months ago that 2020 was looking like my worst year, and that was just the reality check I needed to turn things around. I can’t let my daughters see their momma down! No way! I’ve switched the script, and I’m making this year my best ever as I get closer and closer to God!
I loved a Tumblr post:
“My dear friend, when grief presses you to the dust, worship there.” – Spurgeon
That’s me all the way! I’m worshiping and thanking God no matter where I am or what comes my way. I’ve made Him my Life Partner, and I know there is never a single moment that His invisible Presence is not with me. Like my God wink the other night when our manager called me from the US and said, “in the house” exactly the same time as a cartoon show my kids were watching showed in very big writing across the screen, “IN DA HOUSE.” It was another one of my God winks where out of the blue, everything lined up too perfectly to be some ordinary coincident. It was God revealing His invisible Presence with me. Nik, I’m with you always!
And that’s the sweetness I’m finding from God. That no matter where I am, US or Nigeria, He finds a way to show me His deep love and intimacy with everything going on with me. For that manager to say that precisely as those words appeared up on the screen was all God!
This gives me the CONFIDENCE TO TACKLE PROBLEMS BRAVELY. Late last night before sleeping, he said through my meditation book, Jesus Calling, “WATCH TO SEE WHAT I WILL DO.” So all the problems that I’m up against right now, this was His way to remind me that I don’t have to figure out the next ten steps alone. I could trust that as I show up as my best, excellent, most loving, forgiving, courageous self, doing what He would have me to do, He will handle the rest. I felt Him giving me a nudge through my spirit of how to tackle something, and once again, I know I’m not that smart. It’s all God! MY HELP COMES FROM THE LORD.
