“WRITE ABOUT HOW TO STOP BEING A PEST!!!”

That’s from my sweet, fantastic, funny, lovable, and huggable son, Joshie! He and his brother, Emmie, are unhappy with me today because I’ve banned them from TV, and the video games have been locked away until after some upcoming tests. But about me not being a pest, NEVER!!! I have this great news to share with the world about God’s deep love and intimate involvement in every moment of our lives. HEEHAW!!!

Like this week, I shared in Ceri’s Breakfast and the Bible Clubhouse group about how this verse has been my experience with God:

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” – Ephesians 3:20

I was bragging, as usual, about how God always gives me more than I can imagine, think, or expect! A few hours later, Pastor Joel Osteen shared this message in his email devotional:

“You can’t ask in faith for your daily bread, your protection, and your guidance if you don’t know you’re His child. Because of who you are, you can stay in peace, KNOWING THAT YOUR FATHER WILL DO FOR YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN ASK, THINK, OR IMAGINE (Wink! Wink!).

God confirmed my bragging, baby!!!! And He didn’t stop there! After sharing a clip of the video I recorded about God exceeding my expectations on my Facebook story, this morning I opened our huge over 700-page devotional, Jesus Calling, and the message I randomly opened to said (written as if God was speaking to me):

“THINK BIG WHEN YOU PRAY, but remember that I always think bigger! I look at the big picture—all the moments of your life—AND I AM DOING MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE (another Wink! Wink!).”

I was bragging to Ceri’s group members about how Ceri showing up in my life at a pretty low time (LIFE WILL KNOCK YOU DOWN SOMETIMES!!!) was an example of how God exceeds my expectations! Ceri taught me that God is strategic about the people He places in our lives. Jason, my brother, said I talk a lot about God, but I didn’t have confidence in God. Viola! God sends Jason’s friend Ceri, who has increased my faith in God more than ever with his faithful recordings on the Club House platform from over a year ago. I’ve reached new levels of joy, peace, courage, and, most importantly, CLOSENESS TO GOD!

Ceri joined in with my brother, Kevin, who said one day, “My job from God, Neeks, is to keep you happy!” Kevin has been my personal adviser from God for about four years now, keeping me on God’s path for my life!!!! Thanks, guys!!! See how God exceeds what I could ask or imagine! He sends personal angels to support, inspire, uplift, and encourage me when I’m low! Now we want to pass this message of faith, hope, and love on to you!!!! So help us, God!
