“GOD LOVES US MOSTEST”

That was me to my sweetie sister, Marilyn. We have these playful arguments about who loves who the most and this one statement we both agreed on. I think that’s my latest calling from Him. To share with you guys that He’s not this harsh, judgmental, and angry God who is mad at us. It’s the reverse, He is madly in LOVE with us.

Like on Saturday, I spent like an entire hour listening to Chris Brown’s song, ‘Go Crazy,’ feeling the lyrics were God singing to me:

‘Everything you do is amazing’

I then go and shoot one of my videos telling the world that I thought God was singing those words to me. Talk about going crazy! Right after that, we hop in the car to go to the mall, and of all radio stations and all songs, this same song plays with me saying to my kids, “See, this song was a message from God to me. He does think everything I do is amazing.”

The next day, though, I said maybe that sounds a little bit too conceited and arrogant for me to say that, but out on a five-mile run with the Nike Run Club, Coach Bennet brings it up saying something like you are amazing giving everything your body is doing right now – the entire act of running is amazing!

So, yesterday, again, I brought up this whole everything you do is amazing feeling in another video, like that was God’s message to all of us, not just to me – we’re all amazing when you think of all the things our bodies are capable of in one moment – breathe, see, hear, move, think…. That’s pretty freaking AMAZING!

I then go to my closet a few hours later, and noticed that the bag we brought home from the mall, astonishingly said:

“YOU ARE AMAZING. REMEMBER THAT'”

Thanks, Charlotte Russe, for this fantastic God wink where once again, out of the blue, everything lines up a little bit too perfect to be just some random coincident. From listening to that song getting dressed, to shooting that video telling the world about it, to the song playing on the radio minutes later, to Coach Bennet saying it on my run with him the next day, to me doing another video about it, to seeing those words appear  on that bag, was all the LOVE I’m feeling from Papa God that He wants you feeling too.

Forget the angry God and replace it with the MOST LOVING BEING EVER. In fact, He wipes our slates clean every moment, and holds our transgressions as far as the east is from the west away from us. That no matter how many times we fall and fail, His love is unconditional. Do you feel it? I know I do!

“I’M TEACHING YOU HOW TO BE A KING”

That was me to my nephew, Duro, when we drove an hour somewhere and an hour back for work reasons. I said, “Everyday we’re hustling and making things happen. Going the extra mile when we must.” I told him how I’m learning to have courage and to be brave because I’m in charge of our business here, away from my over protective husband. It’s been so good for me because I’m learning to dance lightheartedly with God, going to Him at every decision point asking what He would have me to do. The feelings of peace are what I look for before moving forward. No peace, no move. Like that long drive, I felt peaceful about going. Moment by moment decisions with God is where I want all of us.

And not that I get it right all the time, but God has a way of turning all my negatives, including what I may call losses, mistakes and failures, into huge wins. Go figure! Like God revealed Himself with me in a little book I found while cleaning yesterday morning. I knew He was talking directly to me when I read this:

“Isiah begins to tell the amazing story of God’s servant from His lowest humiliation to His highest exaltation. From it we learn of the price that has been paid to establish God’s kingdom in a rebellious world. How often we overlook the fact that though our salvation is free it is not without cost.” – Every Day With Jesus

This describes me perfectly. From all my embarrassments lately, God has brought me up higher and closer to Him. I feel I got to be a representative of His. That I didn’t always get it right, but I showed everyone watching that we’re called to go the extra mile in love, forgiveness, never giving up and not getting weary in doing good. Super tough, but we do it for God’s sake and His glory. Our families sticking together is important to God.

I came through it all God’s girl with a greater capacity to love and forgive. And for that I count everything rubbish compared to this knowledge of knowing God is with me, for me and on my side. A HUGE WIN in my books! All the times I fell and went running to Him, He would always figure out some way of letting me know His invisible Presence is always with me. You can’t beat that with a bat! As I teach Duro about being a king – brave, wise, fearless, resilent, hardworking, tough, and strong, also I hope to teach him about being kind, forgiving, loyal, gentle, disciplined and loving. Learning to keep His eyes fixed on God in every moment as to what God would have him to do. This is the way to the best life where God turns everything into a WIN even the awful stuff where we ask, “God, why me?” Its all a part of Him bringing us closer to His heart. Amen.

That was me to my daughter, Ember, a short while ago. I told her how her nerdy mom was watching her sleep and how much I love her and how proud I am of her. But I want her to most importantly to see herself as God’s girl. To not look to the world for love and approval, but to always see herself through God’s eyes of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE no matter her mistakes, faults, or failures. The world may reject us, but our Father in Heaven loves us!

This is where I am at this moment. KNOWING how loved I am by the Creator of the entire universe. I’m still far, far away from the person I strive to be, but God shows me such love and attention as if I’m the only person in the world.

Like last night, I went to sleep listening to David Goggins, who wrote one of my fav books, ‘Can’t Hurt Me,’ that I’m also currently rereading. I got up this morning, again listening to David Goggins, as my appointment with God this morning. I then drive with my other daughter, Julie, to her dentist appointment, again listening to, you guessed it, David Goggins.

So, coming home from the dentist, I was in a dull mood from not sleeping well and decided I needed to have an appointment with God. I asked Him what page from the werollwithgod.com website I should read to hear from Him. I got a feeling to read page 35. Look what incredibly showed up there:

“And with God holding my heart, NOBODY CAN HURT ME (WINK! WINK!). I shake off the frustrations, and I fix my eyes on God, asking what He would have me to do in every moment.”

With me currently rereading the book, ‘Can’t Hurt Me,’ this was God’s way of letting His girl here know that His sweet, invisible Presence was with her. God is familiar with all our ways, baby! We just have to learn to keep our eyes constantly fixed on Him and seeing ourselves as He sees us – His beloved child. Amen! Some more posts on that page were about David Goggins. I loved this one:

“And strangely enough, I did a video on the new mindset I’m learning from David Goggins. I had spent 2 hours with him on Tuesday for my appointment with God watching his appearance on the Rich Roll podcast to promote his book, ‘Can’t Hurt Me.’ And another 2 hours the following day with my daughters watching it AGAIN. I picked up that instead of getting angry when bad things happen to us, we can have a different mindset by turning that anger into fuel to motivate us to be better with a Can’t Hurt Me attitude.”
