I can’t get over Him! The way He figures out these sweet ways to let me know that His invisible Presence is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS with me. Like yesterday, I was doing some work and thought to take a break and have an appointment with God. I saw the number 53 and decided to go to page 53 of our family’s website, and there were two posts there that God used to let me know He is intimately involved in every moment of my life.
The first wink began with me having the best time that morning, singing my heart out to God while playing Justin Bieber’s song ‘One Time.’ Look what amazingly showed up on page 53:
“I LOVE MY LIFE WITH HIM as I’m learning to enjoy His company in every moment. Yesterday, that meant singing my heart out to Him in Justin Bieber’s song, One Time:
“So we keep climbing to the mountain top. Your world is my world. And my fight is Your fight. You by my side, them troubles them not trouble me. I LOVE YOU!””
Like God was saying, ‘Nik, I saw you this morning singing this song to Me!’ No coincidence that out of 129 pages, I went specifically to THAT page to see THOSE lyrics that I sang to God THAT morning.
Next, my sweetie pie daughter, Julie, came and asked where I wanted my Minnie Mouse stool that they steal from me sometimes. I pointed somewhere, saying that stool is where I go when I’m having stressful moments and need to talk to God. Again, look what incredibly showed up on page 53 hours after that conversation with Julie:
“Like as I type this, I have my computer on top of a Minnie Mouse stool in a little, quiet corner of our home, which is extremely full at the moment. But this stool has been my go-to spot to meet with God whenever I’m having a rough moment, and believe it or not, He comes to comfort me.”
Again, this was God’s way of letting me know that He is with me in every moment, every conversation, every thought I think, every song I sing, He is always with me. I get to wake up every day saying I’m His Rockstar wife, mom and person! This is where I find true joy, peace, and fulfillment, knowing I handle nothing alone and that God is with me at every moment, helping me, guiding me, loving me (He makes me feel as if I’m His favorite girl!) and giving my life such purpose and meaning.
“Sorry, I’m not the fun mom,” I said last night to my daughter, Ember. But I’m in love with my quiet and simple life with God. This is the life I’ve designed with Him, and I wouldn’t trade for anybody else’s. Yes, I have some stuff where I definitely know I can improve in and some crosses He asks me to carry, but that’s all a part of my journey and evolution with God. He is the greatest friend ever because He helps me be better by lovingly having situations come up that force me to really look deep inside myself to figure out where I’m going wrong without looking for drugs, alcohol, or anything else of coping with my life. I go to God.
Make sure you are having your alone times with Him! Take some time every day reading or listening to something that brings you closer to Him. God is quite talkative, but you have to take time to hear what He has to say specifically to you and only to you. See how He found those ways to remind me that His Presence is with me reading page 53 because I took a few minutes to say, ‘God, I want to hear from You.’ Don’t miss out, the best life is close to God!!! We need Him!
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” – John 14:27
