“CAN I CARRY YOU AROUND WITH ME EVERYWHERE I GO, PLEASE?”

That was me to my daughter, Julie, this morning. My mouth is STILL getting me into trouble, and she kept hinting at me that I needed to be quiet. At one point she asked, “Mom, I thought you were going on a fast from talking? Another time, she gave me a look and started tapping me on my knee as if saying, “MOM, STOP. PLEASE, BE QUIET!” Terrible that my daughter has to teach me this! LOL! Another blessing: wise kids.

So, this morning, I addressed this very issue with God in my one hour of focused time with Him. And I love God so much because the very meditation book I randomly opened to said that He would prefer me to fail twenty times in a day and learn the lessons He would have me to learn, than for me to play it too safe where my life becomes mechanical and I gain nothing. Then, in another book, He lovingly pointed out the lesson He would have me to work on:

“Don’t speak when you should be silent. And don’t keep silence when you should speak.” – He and I by Gabrielle Bossis

He said He would help me with this, but I have to keep battling with myself to conform to His will and not my own. He promised that with His help, there is nothing He and I couldn’t accomplish together. (SMILE) He said He would give me the necessary tact (diplomacy) to handle every situation. I call this using style, knowing how to flow smoothly through tough and sticky situations with God’s help, of course. Wink! Wink!

Like yesterday, hubby seemed to be getting a little bit irritated with me and with one glance at God I knew what He would have me to do. I calmly said to hubs, “I promised God not to argue with you about this, so whatever you decide is fine with me.” God has been teaching me about the JOY of having NOTHING of this world, but yet possessing EVERYTHING in Him. By the way, I ended up getting what I wanted from hubby (AKA my GIFT from God.) See the style I’m talking about; No fussing necessary, only using God’s wisdom.

Yesterday the appointment was about spending alone time with Him, and I MUST make it a priority. See the gems I got today in sitting quietly and listening to Him. These alone times are where He reveals the secrets to living the best life. Don’t miss out! I would love to send you a free electronic copy of my book, Keep Calm, You’re Rolling With God, to start having appointments with Him for yourself. It was God and I who lovingly wrote it. He wants me to bring you to Him (another thing He told me today!) Just hit me up with your email address or WhatsApp number. Happy Sunday!

KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
