GOD LOVES ME TOO MUCH!!!
That’s my testimony, baby! The way He shows up for me in every aspect of my life just blows me away! Like He has been talking to me through an Infiniti QX60 SUV, Sounds crazy, right? But it was a customer in the Bahamas who asked me to purchase one for her. We ended up being great friends, and she shared exactly what hubby and I are going through now of being separated, that she and her husband went through the same thing for three years. She explained it was challenging on their marriage, but they survived. So, whenever I see a QX60 I’m reminded that hubby and I will get through this rough patch, and specifically that THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.
On Saturday, there was an ad for the new QX60 on TV. I texted her saying, “Just saw a QX commercial. THERE’S LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. This is hard.” The next day, the crazy lady came out in full force, but let me tell ya, God showed up to calm her down. I turned on my music, and like I always tell you, God talks to me through Apple Music. Of all the songs to randomly play, this one did:
“THERE’S A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL (Wink! Wink!)
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
But if you’re feelin’ lost in the night
It’s okay to cry (Me at that very moment!)
Just as long as you hold your head
‘Cause we’re on our way to better
Better’s ahead, better’s ahead” – Better Days by Ant Clemons
Instantaneously, God melted away all the negative emotions I was feeling and filled me up with His love. Who am I that God would have these specific lyrics to show up amid me having that awful moment? Of all the songs to randomly play, He had this specific one to remind me that I must hold my head high because better days are ahead. (HUGE SMILE)
God used this entire song to speak to me! Like right before this I had decided to add this to the end of my post written hours before:
“Even when He asks us to tackle hard things! We can do all things by His strength! Wink! Wink! He calls me to be the movie character Lucy, the superhuman, not allowing human emotions and frailties to get the best of me but being CALM AND STRONG. Amen!”
The song then says:
“You feel weak, JUST BE STRONG (ooh)
_ Deep breath, STAY CALM”_
Told ya, God is pretty talkative! This song was His way of comforting me in that difficult moment. His love melts away all my stresses and anxieties! “The presence of God will calm your heart in any situation (Rick Warren).” The reason I mentioned Lucy was because outside a few minutes prior to writing the post, I found a cup belonging to one of my kid’s friends with the name “Lucy” on it. I felt this was a message from God Himself for me to be the strong superhero for my family right now. Nik, forget these silly emotions, I need you to be CALM, STRONG, AND WISE. There is light at the end of the tunnel! (Wink! Wink!)
Today, your girl has risen higher, feeling great and grateful! In everything, give thanks, guys! I’m using all the disappointments as fuel and motivation to be better, not bitter! Amen! May we all take on hard things for God by going the extra, extra, extra mile in love, learning to get good at covering the offenses of others! Future generations will thank us! OBEY GOD AND LEAVE THE CONSEQUENCES WITH HIM!!!
