“BE ON CHILL FOR LIFE”

That’s the FANTASTIC message from my brother, Kevin, that I will be RUNNING with from now on!!! “On chill” is used to describe a relaxed state of mind where there isn’t anything serious to worry about (urbandictionary.com). Not only was this a message from Kevin, but God confirming that this is where HE ALSO WANTS ME TO BE (and you too!). I wrote a post a couple of days ago about how God speaks to me through this song:

“Maybe we can be ON CHILL tonight…I’m trying to hear all your problems so I can lighten the load. Know you’re not fighting alone because I’m protecting you from them (SO CHILL)” – On Chill, Wale

Fast forward that afternoon, extremely jetlagged after flying from Nigeria, I go to bed early and decide to catch up on weeks of The Housewives of Atlanta episodes. I continued watching from precisely where I had last left off weeks ago. Amazingly, five minutes in, Cynthia brags about receiving a necklace from Eva with one word: “CHILL.”

God, I get the message! See how He has such a funny sense of humor! This just lined up TOO perfectly to be an ordinary coincident. It was all orchestrated by Him to let me know that He is with me, and He doesn’t want His girl stressing about ANYTHING.

So, I’m officially on chill. Relaxed mode. The challenges are still there, but I’m trusting God is behind the scenes helping me, giving me the solutions, people, courage, stamina, and Himself tweaking situations on my behalf in the spiritual realm (Wink! Wink!). I DO MY BEST AND LET GOD DO THE REST. The disappointments are also there, but I immediately SHAKE THEM OFF and return to counting my blessings.

Like one of my fav cars I’ve EVER driven was a black Honda Odyssey. I loved it! I was so sad when we sold it (life of a car dealer!). Coming back from Nigeria, though, what was the first car I see at our gate: an even nicer, newer, black Honda Odyssey. It was like God Himself saying, ‘Nik, I got this for you!’ It’s perfect for taking my mom and four kids around, starting hopefully to church tomorrow. The strange thing is my husband didn’t like me driving it because he thought it suited a nerdy mom. Hello, that’s me, a SUPER nerdy mom! No shame in my game! “Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Wink! Wink! On chill for life, baby, with my eyes fixed on God!!! Ain’t worried bout nothing! Are you with me?
