I was talking to my sister-in-law, Aima, yesterday about the kids coming to work with me. She said I should pay them, and I said I’m teaching them about relationships. That this mom and dad who have been so good to them, that they should just be asking, ‘What can I do to assist you?’ and not looking for any formal payment arrangement. We also spoke of someone who is very arrogant and has difficulty getting along with people. I said this is why I’m bringing the kids to work with me because it’s so important in life to get along with others. So, at 6 minutes past the hour later that night, I felt God nudging me to go to page 6 of our family’s website. Look what showed up there in an old post:

“Like after speaking with her (my sister) today, I had to have a tough meeting with my daughters. I explained that life is not just about always asking, ‘What’s in this for me?’ but, ‘What can I do to help you?’ Relationships are a two-way street. You give, and you get! Having humility and asking, ‘How may I serve you?’ with a helpful, grateful, and kind attitude and always giving your best is the way to go. Not just asking other people to do for you! It ain’t that kind of party! “If you’re a street cleaner, be the best street cleaner!” God loves the humble!!!”

God is intimately involved in our lives, guys! No way all this randomly showed up on page 6 at 6 minutes past the hour. I’m talking I got a strong feeling from Him in my spirit to stop what I was doing and read page 6! I sent it to my sister-in-law as a reminder that God is always with us. Every conversation. Every thought. Every move we make, He knows all about it. That includes every worry, every fear, and every challenge. God knows all about it!!! It is just for us to show up, do our utmost best as to what we feel He would have us to do, and leave the rest with Him! (Wink! Wink!)

I love a message from Him through Joel Osteen this morning from a sermon he did like 5 years ago. Joel said, “God will go ahead of you and level the mountain.” This was God letting me know that He was in the fires of my life with me. I can trust Him to go ahead of me and tackle battles on my behalf in the spiritual realm.

I’m feeling close to God and want the entire world here with me. GOD IS PERSONALLY INVOLVED IN OUR LIVES!! Don’t miss out on Him! Say this prayer, ‘God, I want a closer walk with You.’ Then start having alone times with Him and then feeling Him in Your spirit as to what He is saying to you directly regarding your specific life issues. His ways are always the best! Even when bad things happen, I trust that God knows the experiences I need to improve. Amen.
