“GET TO KNOW GOD BETTER EVERY DAY”

That was the title I felt God saying to give my vlog message today. Can you believe He went as far as to confirm it? There is a calendar that I always write about that God speaks to me through, and look at the message that showed up on the opposite side of where it was turned to:

“Take the time to GET TO KNOW GOD (Wink! Wink!), so you don’t miss the meaning of the whole journey of life.”

That’s honestly the best advice I can give you guys, and the message of that vlog was how I felt God communicating with me that I should begin running my 3.11 miles (my 5K) run every day. I felt Him challenging me through my spirit out on my run yesterday, so I stopped, sat on the sidewalk (no, I didn’t look at all crazy), and sent this message to our family group (specifically to my son Emmie!):

“I’m going back to the 3.11 miles a day! Want to leave my comfort zone! You are my accountability coach!”

So, under the God tree today, look at what showed up in an old post from the first time I started doing the 3.11 miles:

“…I had to go back and complete it to the 3.11 mark so that I could report back to my accountability coach/son, Emmie (Wink! Wink!), that the run was completed.”

See how God is so intimately involved in my life, guys to have me go back to THAT post today from the first time I began doing those runs as a challenge to myself with Emmie as my coach! God is aware of everything we do!!!! Like He was saying, ‘Nik, I saw you sending that text to Emmie yesterday! (HUGE SMILE)

Then, last night, Ember put her friend, Samira, on the phone with me, who is an athlete, and I asked her which race she ran. Can you believe she runs the 5K (3.11 mile) of all races? Another God wink!

The run was hard, though. I’m not going to lie to you, but I stuck with it, and when the Nike Running Club app announced that I had made it to my goal of 3.11, I was precisely across the street from the house number “3101!” See how much God loves me? Told ya, I am His fav! That was another glimmer of His presence with me! No coincidence!

This 3.11 has been my beautiful reminder from God for years now that I should “Be still and know that He is God!” Meaning I am not tackling my life alone! Just as He whispered in my spirit to start back up on my 3.11 runs, all day, I am hearing from Him as to what He would have me do in every aspect of my life!

GET TO KNOW GOD BETTER EVERY DAY!!!!
