But God sent me a special message through Devon Franklin, who said that the righteous WILL FALL seven times, but they will get back up eight. That’s your girl right now! I fell, but I’m getting back up! No shame in my game! I can’t seem to get feeling my strong self again, but tomorrow I told my daughters will be a day to take care of me. The first stop will be the BJ’s Wholesale Club, where I stock up on my fruits and veggies to make an extra nutritious batch of smoothies and up the quality of our family meals. Take care of your body, and it will take care of you!
But this time of feeling weak has been so good for me. It has forced me to slow my roll and get God involved with every decision I make. It’s been such a beautiful thing! I’m sweetly leaning on God, knowing that whatever He wants for me is ultimately good for me. Like on Friday, we had a situation with a car we needed to quickly handle. My manager suggested a solution, but I didn’t feel at peace about it. Repeatedly I told him no, and instead, in talking to God, I went with the decision that brought me peace. As I debated the several options in my head, I went with the choice that brought me no stress when I thought about it. We ended up having the car towed to a mechanic, who quickly figured out that the problem was coming from a plug that was not connected properly. He didn’t even charge us!
And that’s what I find with God. His solutions are always there to guide me no matter the troubles I face. Even with feeling a little sick, this has been the perfect opportunity to teach my kids the importance of a healthy lifestyle. My daughter, Julie, cooked us some healthy Nigerian food today. Seeing my kids eat and enjoy made the momma here super happy.
Are you seeking God in your decisions? Talking to someone today, I reminded them how they rushed and decided something without involving God some months ago, and things haven’t gone too well. I hope they learn the lesson to have a relationship with God because we need His wisdom. He knows the future, and He knows the utmost best decision we need to make. But if we don’t involve Him, we miss out on His guidance.
My song of the summer is ‘Leave the Door Open’ by Bruno Mars because it’s God reminding me that His door is always open for you, and for me too. His love, approval, strength, wisdom, and guidance. Don’t miss out! Follow those feelings of peace before making any move. Doubt, stress, anxiety when thinking of going a certain direction is God saying, ‘Don’t do that!!!’ DON’T MAKE A MOVE WITHOUT INVOLVING GOD!!!
