I’M FEELING LIKE GOD’S SPECIAL GIRL

Oh my goodness! He finds these sweet ways to let me know that He is ALWAYS with me. Like yesterday, I made up my mind to run 5 miles, thinking I want to PUSH myself to do HARD THINGS. The plan was to run 2.5 miles from my house to a nearby Starbucks, and 2.5 miles back. Getting there, feeling so proud, I sent my super daughters a text, “Made it. Let’s do hard things this year for God.” I was listening to a guided Nike Run Club app, and like less than a minute after sending that text, Coach Bennet amazing said something like, “This is not about being a better runner or doing harder runs, it’s about training yourself to do hard things in your life.” Wink! Wink!

You may say that’s coincident that Coach Bennet said that, but again this was another one of my God winks, totally orchestrated and arranged by God to let me know that His Presence is always with me. It was too perfectly timed and said to be some ordinary occurrence. There were so many other runs I could have decided on and so many different paths I could have chosen, but I picked the ones where God could remind me of His love and constant Presence in my life. THERE WAS NO WAY THIS ALL LINED UP SO PERFECTLY ON ITS OWN!

I came back so happy! Feeling like I touched base with God – Yes, Nik, I want you doing hard things this year, all for My glory. Yes, Boss, I’m in! I enjoyed coming back home to the girls and having some meaningful conversations with them about honing their personalities. I used an example of me talking too much and getting myself into trouble as an example of how I want us going to God and asking Him what He would have us to say in every moment. I’m talking constant and never-ending conversations with Him about everything. Like we’re talking to a best friend.

As I cooked and cleaned up, I listened to one of my messengers from God, Justin Beiber. I played his song ‘Company’ repeatedly imaging God asking this of me (AND NOW OF YOU):

“Can WE…keep each other company? Maybe WE can be… be each other’s company.”

God, YES!!! Gladly! I’ve started my 50 days of discipline again, and instead of two hours with God, my challenge is to spend 24 hours with Him knowing that there is never a moment that I don’t have access to His wisdom, charm, tact, protection, love, joy, peace, strength, encouragement, and guidance. Will you keep His company, too?
