With DJ Cassidy getting me all hyped up as I tackled the auction and buying inventory for our business. This was after I had a beautiful time with God in my morning appointment with Him. Let me tell ya, not one moment is wasted when we take time to spend with God, asking what He has to say to us. His wisdom has guided me wonderfully well! That’s why it’s my pleasure to share my life with you and how God’s direction has exceeded my expectations. (HUGE SMILE)

Like some months ago, I was having a hard time with someone. God kept telling me in my alone times with Him to take the high road and give them the benefit of the doubt (GET GOOD AT COVERING THE OFFENCES OF OTHERS!!!). That I should be still and allow Him to fight on my behalf. I said, “No problem, God, for You, anything!” Today I was amazed at how God took control of that situation that I just had the biggest laugh with Him! Like He was saying, “Don’t play around with my girl!!!” A big reminder for us all that we don’t fight our battles alone, God is at work in the spiritual realm on our behalf. It’s just for us to show up, doing everything to the best of our ability by having constant conversations with God on a moment-by-moment basis as to what to say (or not say!), where to go (or not go!) and what to do (or not do!). All with the ultimate goal of pleasing Him! God, may Your will be done, not ours! That’s how He guides us on the best paths for our lives.

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.” – Psalm 32:8

And that’s why I can come to work joyful and at peace today despite all the situations that are trying to overwhelm me, knowing that my help and support come from God. His wisdom and direction are ALWAYS best! I just take everything step by step, asking God what He would have me do by feeling His nudges and cues in my spirit. God is pretty talkative once you get to know His voice.

“Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation. Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” – Proverbs 3:3-6

Forget about it, Ember, I’m God’s favorite! Even though I insisted she go to no trouble, my sister-in-law, Aima, threw me the best get-together yesterday at her house. I’m talking about the best company, lots of food and an extra special surprise from God. I was at the Hard Rock Hotel in the parking lot a couple of weeks ago overlooking a day club (like a nightclub but in the day) that I stood watching the DJ talking and playing music. I was there dancing in the parking area, saying I wanted to go with my daughters. But my daughters aren’t old enough, and even though I planned to go with a friend (even bought new clothes to go!), in the end, though, I just had a good time laughing with God, “Nik, really? You know you’re not going to any day club!” and I gave the clothes to the girls.

Can you believe God brought the day club to me at Aima’s house? A family friend connected to DJ Cassidy on YouTube, and we all had a great time dancing and singing with all the stars of my favorite jams. It was like DJ Cassidy got a hold of my God’s girl’s playlist from my phone and brought all these people together just to sing my favorite songs personally to me for my birthday. It was incredible, and I felt so deeply loved by God. Like he was personally saying, “Nik, I brought the day party to you!’ I even enjoyed blended daiquiris (No alcohol!). My favorite song to play was “Nobody will love You better’ by Chaka Khan, which I played right before leaving home to go there. It was another one of my God winks (God alignments!) with Him saying, ‘Nobody will love you better than Me, Nik! (HUGE SMILE)

Then I’ve been thinking of treating myself to an iPad to kick my work for buying cars at the auction up a notch. That I can virtually buy cars anywhere without having to be plugged into my bulky laptop. The girls and my sister, Kelly, surprised me with a brand-new iPad for my birthday! I was again blown away by God! He knows every thought I think, and He was behind the scenes orchestrating that iPad for His girl here! (HUGE SMILE AGAIN)

Ember did a birthday run with me, and I insisted on completing a 5K, which is 3.11 miles. I tell you guys like a crazy lady how this number “311” is God’s way of telling me to be still and allow Him to fight my battles for me. That I should specifically stay on the high road being my best, most loving, patient self for Him. So, I got back to our house door, and I only had run/walked 3.06 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, that the run was completed. As Coach Bennet said, “This run is done,” I was unbelievably in front of house number “311 (Wink! Wink!)7.” No coincidence! My footsteps are ordered by God, baby! And this “311” and “117” showing up together was God’s way of saying, ‘Nik, I am always with you! Let’s keep going on the HIGH ROAD!!!!’ Hope you guys join us there, doing everything for the glory of God!!! Amen!

That was me to Ceri today, who agreed to me sharing all the powerful messages I’m learning from him. I had to thank him today for helping me stay strong for my family after he explained that I should replace the word “crush” with “disappointed.” When a situation came up for my sons, I was happy to share the lesson. That life is filled with disappointments, but we must learn to quickly shake them off and rise above them by using them as fuel to motivate us to be better, not bitter. We keep our eyes on God, knowing He can repay us more than what anyone can ever take from us. I can throw all the disappointments against everything God does for my family and me. I loved my appointment with Him today when He said this to me:
“So trust Me wholeheartedly, for I am taking care of you wonderfully well!” (HUGE SMILE)

He is! He is! But back to Ceri. I low-key stalk him (don’t tell my husband!), but he is making me a better wife, mom, and person. I even asked hubby today what I can do to assist him in Nigeria despite everything I have going on in the US with getting our business on track here. “You fight evil in the world by loving harder!” Wink! Wink! My kids and I had the best day at the office, where I was all day crying happy tears. Julie said she’s not worried about me anymore as she is about to fly off to university in New York and follow in her sister Ember’s footsteps. Today Ceri shared this important message in our Clubhouse app group called ‘Breakfast and the Bible.’ It happens at 6 am (Eastern time) for anyone who wants to join, and this message from Ceri today didn’t disappoint:

“Solomon asked for something that required God’s help. When we have wisdom or we have an understanding about certain things, when we have to think about it or put some sort of thought behind it, it still requires God’s help. If God had given Solomon money, or if He had given him all the riches and all these things or killed all his enemies, what would have been the chances that Solomon would have ever run to God for help? Most of the time, we run to God for help during periods of struggle, or we run to God for help if it’s something that is a bit more than we can bear. But in this particular instance, Solomon really wanted that wisdom.

Wisdom is the most powerful thing God possesses because he knows all, understands all and sees all. All that falls under that same category. It’s the knowledge that makes Him all Powerful. The knowledge is what’s more powerful than anything. The ability to make good decisions. Right decisions. To think fast and be able to know exactly what to do. God doesn’t just make rash decisions. Think about it. If He didn’t have the wisdom, He would just end things so fast. When people do things wrong, they’ll automatically, boom, drop down dead. If this did happen it would be like a quick decision behind it. Because God is all-powerful and all knowledge and all wisdom, He sees the bigger picture. He sees things later down the line. He sees the ripple effect. He sees how you need to go through this to get to that. This needs to happen so that this person can be helped.

I just had a lot of thought behind that particular verse and how it’s so important for us to always rely on God’s help. And always revert back to Him when we need it. And that’s where we get our wisdom from. That’s where we have the ability to use our wisdom. When we go to God for help, that’s the smartest thing we can do. I don’t care if you know everything in this world and understand everything. When you run into any situation, if its good or bad, the smartest thing you can do is turn to God and say, ‘Hey, God, am I making the right decision? God, is this the right thing to do?’ And sooner or later or whatever way He chooses, He will open up a way and find a way that this is the answer. This is the direction.”

Like God using my “311” as a reminder to be still and allow Him to fight my battles for me, staying on the high road with Him! That “311” has beautifully guided me as God exceeds my expectations the way He comes through for us. No joke!

Under the God tree today, I stole Ceri’s prayer that he unbelievably said when he was only a child asking God for wisdom. I called hubby to pray, saying that’s my prayer for us, that God will give us the wisdom to make the best decisions in tackling everything we’re currently facing. That’s my prayer for us all! Thanks, Ceri! Keep all the wonderful messages coming. As you inspire me, I hope to inspire the world! Amen!

I loved this message from another messenger from God I have, Richard. I was telling him how much he helped me when he purchased a car from us for his daughter. I bragged about companies in New York now fighting for my daughter to come and work with them and he said (I paraphrase here!), “God is God. No door that God can’t open when you have His favor in your life. Remember how Jesus fed the 5,000 with the five loaves and two fish? That’s how you will experience God in your life when you walk with Him! His special favor that no one can explain.” And honestly, these people are asking Ember to work for them without meeting her! She wants to stick with the Wall Street firm because they are also paying her a commission! All I’m saying to her is, “Don’t call me any more for money!!!” LOL!!! FAITH AND HARD WORK GO TOGETHER! Do the best of your abilities and leave the rest for God! (HUGE SMILE)

Richard also said something else that was very significant: “The only way to conquer evil in the world is through loving harder.” Wow! That blew me even the God maniac here away! I loved a special God wink through Richard that I wrote about in this old post:

“I loved the verse our customer, Richard, told me one day under my God tree:

“Vengeance is mines, says the Lord.”

Minutes after speaking to Him, it was 59 minutes past the hour, and I went to page 59 of our family’s website, and look what incredibly showed up there:

“Vengeance is Mine (Wink! Wink!); I will repay, says the Lord.” But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink.” – Romans 12:19-20

God went to the trouble of confirming that this is where He wants us all. So all day, I want us to have precious conversations with God about the battles we’re to fight and the ones to ignore and keep silent about. Everything is between God and us, not between us and anyone else. And let me tell ya, when I ask God to be the Guide and priority of my life, the blessings chase me down.”

Honestly, God has guided my life beautifully, and why it’s my pleasure to share with you guys the love I experience from Him. Our job is to love God first and then be about going the extra mile in love, reflecting God’s loving character to a watching world. Richard prayed for my lot to be filled with cars, so I called to tell him how I had purchased five vehicles this week! I’m expecting God’s favor in every aspect of my life! And I want you here with me knowing that we roll with the God who can feed 5,000 people with only fives loaves of bread and two fish! NOTHING IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR HIM! It’s just for us to walk with Him, following His lead (OBEY GOD AND LEAVE THE CONSEQUENCES WITH HIM!!!). Amen!

So my job is to hear from Him, then share my experiences with you so that you, too, will start paying attention to what He is saying to you. On a moment-by-moment basis, we can learn God’s voice and what He would say to us to help us make the best decisions for our lives. HEEHAW!!!

I had the sweetest God wink (a glimmer of His invisible Presence with us when everything lines up a little bit too perfect to be considered an ordinary coincidence). Yesterday I had a beautiful day talking back and forth with my brother, Kevin. One conversation was about my mom’s 90th birthday celebration in the Bahamas. I asked him for a venue to host the event, and he suggested the GREEN PARROT Restaurant.

Fast forward a few hours later, I’m sitting watching TV with my sister, Kelly, and of all the shows and episodes we are watching on live TV, there is a scene with a GREEN PARROT on the shoulder of a background actor. The thing completely freaked me out! Like how could Kevin come up with the GREEN PARROT Restaurant for my mom’s party and on live TV (not my usual Netflix) for the show to highlight this actual GREEN PARROT be a normal coincidence? It was completely and totally orchestrated by God to let me (and you!) know that His invisible Presence is always with us.

Then, last night I went to chat with Ember about her new internship on Wall Street. I started telling her how we must be so grateful to her dad for all his sacrifices to put our family in such a great position. I said whatever my hubby and I have to go through, the good, bad and ugly, I WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON HIM.

Fast forward to this morning, I’m listening to my new messenger from God, Ceri, in our Breakfast and Bible chat group, and he amazingly says, “GOD WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON US.” I knew immediately that this was another God wink for Ceri to say those very words I said to my daughter so late last night. God has been teaching me to love others the way He loves us. He holds our sins and transgressions as far as the east is from the west from us. He loves us unconditionally no matter what we’ve done in the past. He wipes our slate clean every moment, and this is where He would have us to be with others, especially in our homes.

Ceri has also importantly been teaching me to let go of trying to control people and situations, and I should let God be God by allowing Him to take control. That GREEN PARROT showing up and Ceri repeating my words “WILL NEVER GIVE UP” were both God making me aware that His invisible Presence stands strong with me and I’m not going by the ordinary rules. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD!!! He’s with you, too!!!

That’s me to my daughter, Ember! She interviewed for an internship with a firm on Wall Street in New York (only the world’s financial capital!), and she got it! YAYYY!!!! Let me tell you, it took massive strength to get her there (HARD THINGS ARE HARD!!!), but I’m giving all the glory to God. He has been the FAITHFUL Partner and Guide of our family! That’s why it’s my pleasure to share my life – the good, bad, and ugly, and how God comes through for me in every aspect of it. HEEHAW!!!

Can you believe she called me about three years ago in Nigeria from the US saying that she wanted to attend the same universe I attended and work on Wall Street because I always talked about my time there. I said let’s go for it! She got accepted to that university with a pretty nice scholarship package! This is the daughter who argues with me over who is God’s favorite, me or her! FAITH AND HARD WORK. baby! They definitely went together.

Even when the momma was going through her little sad/down time, God stood strong with me. Ember and I fought. A lot!!! But she knows it was all from a space of wanting what was best for her. One time I got a report card reflecting too many B’s, and I called her immediately, going crazy, “What is this?” She said some parents would be happy if their kids got this report card. I responded, ‘Those parents don’t have you for a daughter!’ God has exceeded my expectations by sending me the bestest kids!!! (HUGE SMILE)

And when you follow and trust in God (obeying Him and leaving the consequences with Him), He will exceed your expectations, too. Like I can’t get over all I’m learning from a new friend/client, Ceri. When I told him about Ember’s interview with a Wall Street firm, he immediately said, ‘You mean Wall Street has an interview with her.’ I told Ember you go into that interview interviewing them if they will be a good fit for your time and energies!!! You rock, my daughter! Go with that type of confidence!”

Ceri, most importantly is teaching me Godfidence on a whole new level! To know that He is our Life Partner and is at work in the spiritual realm, I should dream big and let God be God. Amen! When I told Ceri about a certain daily profit level that my brother, Jason, inspired me to shoot for at our business, he said double that! And I’m seriously working towards that goal! Today on a breakfast chat group he spoke about not being distracted. When I told him about how I was crushed by a situation that is a huge distraction for me, he told me to rephrase that with “I was disappointed.” He said our words are so important. So, now instead of being crushed, your girl here takes the disappointments and uses them as fuel and motivation to step up her game in all areas. Even my 50 days of discipline are back on!

I suggest you do the same! Everything is between God and us, not between us and anyone else. Let’s ask God to give us the wisdom to use our time and energies well, all for His glory! Amen! No time for getting distracted by useless and unimportant issues. Stay focused on God!!!

That was me to my daughter, Ember, today. She is a first-hand witness of everything going on with the momma – the good, bad and ugly – and how I try to handle everything from the Almighty God’s perspective. Like yesterday after she mentioned that I don’t like confrontations, I explained to her how God has been teaching me about silence. That I should hand Him any of my unsaid words like a bouquet of flowers to Him. That I could say anything to Him, but to others, I should practice being silent as an act of love towards them. And for God, who forever exceeds my expectations, I say, “Ok, I got You!’ What Ember considers a weakness, I call being obedient to God and staying on the high road with Him. But don’t get it twisted; when it’s time for the crazy lady to appear, she does, but not very often. It’s all about constant conversations with God moment-by-moment about what He would have me do.

And when we’re obedient to God, this is how He beautifully guides our lives on the paths that He would have us go. Ain’t always pretty, folks, but God has this way of turning the bad into such good when we learn all the sometimes challenging lessons He would have us to learn. Like me taking my kids to work with me. They hate it! But I know at the end, I’m raising some tough, rugged, fearless, responsible, excellent, persevering, wise and hardworking kids. That’s the plan! Same situation when I ask God, “What is this?” But I now know that it’s ALL from the hands of an incredibly loving God who always wants what’s best for us.

Are you getting to know God? Not a moment of spending time alone with Him is wasted. I find when I don’t go to my God tree and just spend just a few minutes with Him, my days are different than the times I go. Like yesterday was a beautiful time with Him there. Running up, I was playing a song, ‘I Got You,’ and the page I read on our family’s website was a post where I felt God saying, ‘Nik, I got you!’ This was extra special because yesterday was an important day for me regarding something I was handling, and God did have me; I got some excellent news. Thanks, My Love!!! (HUGE SMILE)

My new friend, Ceri, taught me to give God a chance to be God and stop trying to figure out everything for myself. God took control of the situation and exceeded my expectations. The God maniac here was blown away by how God is so intimately involved in our lives. It was months ago that our assistant answered the phone on speaker, and I heard the person calling asking to speak to my husband, and I took the call. That very day I was about to make a terrible decision, and this person was God’s way of saying, ‘Don’t do that, Nik!’ The love of God in action, baby! That phone call was perfectly timed by God Himself!!! And this person didn’t disappoint us, either! Things worked out better than I had imagined!

I loved the message from God through my meditation book that repeated the message from my brother, Kevin, that God wants me to know that I’m secure in Him:

“Remind yourself that I am the One who makes you secure—in all circumstances.” – Jesus Always

Don’t play around with your relationship with God! May this year bring us all closer to Him! Amen!

“Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.” – 1 Chronicles 16:11

Last Sunday, I had the best business brunch with my brother, Jason, to discuss how I can better move our car dealership forward. He made one crucial statement: “You are always talking about God, Nik, but you don’t have confidence in Him.” Wow! That blew the God maniac here away! That was the brutal truth I needed to hear. I was seriously lacking in faith, not only in myself but, more importantly, faith in God. I’m here writing about how God’s wisdom, strategies, favor, solutions, help, and support are available to us on a moment-by-moment basis, yet I was the very one doubting His help. Thanks, J!

Then, the next day, Jason’s friend Ceri asked me to help him call someone to negotiate a vehicle price for him. I told him that it was best for him to call, not me, because I wasn’t good at negotiating deals. He responded, ‘Nah, be confident!” When I thought about it, I asked myself, ‘Nik, why are you so low in confidence?’ Wow! Jason and Ceri highlighted a serious weakness with your girl here.

The next day I bought cars at the auction, and I ran with that confidence lesson! I confidently purchased, even going against some top dealers and beating them! Say what?!? When I told Ceri about it, he said, “You didn’t compete with the big dealers; you are the big dealer!” I’m claiming it in faith, baby! I’m rolling with God, and with Him by my side, I am the big dealer!!! Amen! (HUGE SMILE) God said I should take this business as a lighthearted challenge that He and I are doing together!!! To have fun with it! Yes, Boss!!!

Today, God got in on this confidence talk when this old post showed up at 13 minutes past the hour on page 13 of our family’s website:

‘GOD, YOU KNOW EVERY THOUGHT I THINK’

That was me freaking out over God, as usual. I was NOT having the usual doubts about everything that was going on with me at the moment and NOT worried and anxious about the future. Suddenly, a thought came out of nowhere, spooking me out even more: Maybe you’re too confident! I thought of how I’m always fussing my daughter, Julie, for being overconfident about her school work and refusing to study. Then 15 minutes later or so, I needed to use the restroom, but it was occupied, so I had to wait. I opened my meditation book, Jesus Calling, on my phone and unbelievably read:

“You have every reason to be confident (Wink! Wink!), because My Presence accompanies you all the days of your life—and onward into eternity.” Wow! God is so intimately involved in all our lives. I opened to the perfect sentence for me at that very moment. Here’s what else He had to say about all those worry and anxious thoughts:

“Do not give into fear or worry, those robbers of abundant living. Trust Me enough to face problems as they come, rather than trying to anticipate them. Fix your eyes on Me, the Author and Perfector of your faith, and many difficulties on the road ahead will vanish before you reach them. Whenever you start to feel afraid, remember that I am holding you by your right hand. Nothing can separate you from my Presence! For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”

And this message was confirmed in my other meditation book that I opened for a brief minute when I needed to grab something from my handbag: God: “I will go before you and level the mountains” (Isaiah 45:2). Our Father, thank You for Your intimate Presence in every aspect of our lives. May we always trust You and follow Your guidance. Amen.

Thank you, Jason, Ceri, and God! The confidence level is super high now!!! I know that there is never a moment when God Himself is not with me. It’s just for me to tap into His voice (The Holy Spirit), having constant conversations with God every step of the way. Forget confidence, though; I’m replacing it with Godfidence!!! (Wink! Wink!)

And I’m really enjoying it (HUGE SMILE)! It’s another testimony of the greatness of God when we involve Him in every aspect of our lives. Wow! The way God shows up for me is incredible! About two months ago, I was feeling so stressed and overwhelmed by everything I had on my plate to handle. I was out by the field where I run when my husband called asking for some important info. I’m usually able to easily access that information from my phone, but that morning, I couldn’t access it. And because I try to be this rockstar wife to this rockstar husband, I left that field and went to a little home office I have set up in my husband’s closet to use my laptop. Next to the computer was a book about faithfulness, and it talked about God’s faithfulness. It was exactly what I needed to read on that stressful day, not even imagining how I would tackle the massive assignments I was up against. It quoted this verse:

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10

Two months later, everything that was a concern for me that morning, I am proud and happy to report that they are all under control. Phew!!! How I got from there to here is a complete and total miracle! My help comes from the Lord, baby! I have to give a big thank you to our rockstar daughters, Ember and Julie. They went hard for me to get lots of the work completed. They stayed up late into the mornings, we went in on Sundays, and we did what we had to do. Thanks, my sweeties! You guys have a ride or die, momma for life!!!

I just got off the phone with my husband, and I asked, “How much does this wife love her husband?” He first said 80%! I jokingly cussed him saying, “This wife loves you infinity percent! I’m your gift from God, and you are my gift from Him. We ain’t perfect, but we’re close!!!” I can’t stop thanking him for the sacrifice he made by giving his blessings for me and the girls to leave him in Nigeria so they could pursue their dream of attending universities in New York. It has been extremely difficult on our marriage, but we felt strongly that God Himself was guiding our family.

Ember said she had dreams of working on Wall Street, the world’s financial capital, with one of the top companies there. Can you believe my daughter interviewed with one of those firms this week and is scheduled for the second round of interviews next week? Again, that’s the help and favor of God in our lives. We kept our eyes on the prize when all the silly distractions came up, staying on the high road with God.

That’s my advice to you today: STAY FOCUSED ON GOD WITH YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE. The devil is doing his best to distract us by having us fight useless and nonsense battles (especially in our homes! Stay strong!). But when we keep our eyes on God, He lovingly guides us on the battles He would have us to fight. Joshie gave me the brochure from his church last night saying we should support each other. Time and energies are limited, let’s stay focused on being the going the extra mile, supportive, loving and forgiving people God would have us to be. Let me tell you, God gives us more than we can ever ask for or imagine! (WINK! WINK!)

We’ve been married for 20 years now, and most of the time, I go along with him on decisions, and sometimes when I don’t go along with him, I say to him, “Hon, I had to make an executive decision.” Very few times I’ve used this card, and he mostly goes along with me when I do, but yesterday he did not have it, and HE WAS FURIOUS. “Who gave you permission to do that?” he asked. In my mind, I wanted to say God, but I stuck with my line, “Hon, I had to make an executive decision.”

But honestly, it was God who told me to go ahead with that decision. God had this number “411” to show up starting from right before I called the person who helped me to move forward with this decision, then His telephone number incredibly ended in 411, then, throughout the whole entire process, God had the number “411” to show up. We made the deal final on 4/11. I go to write a check to complete the process, and the next check number was “4117.” Then little conversations with this rep, 411 just kept appearing. Even lately, going to a meeting with him and saying how I’m following this “411” lead from God, I’m leaving the meeting five minutes later, and “411” appears on a bus bench outside his building. Like every single step of the way, God appeared with this “411” saying, ‘Nik, I’m with you on this decision.’

So, I waited until hubby cooled down to explain myself to him again. Even though he fussed me out yesterday, God put it in my heart to stay on the high road with hubby (he has earned my love and respect). Can you believe God found a sweet way to let me know He was present at the end of that conversation? I’ve written so many times about how whenever I see 711 or 117 together, I know it’s God’s way of saying, ‘Nik, I’m with you.’ That His invisible Presence is always with me! The conversation with hubs came to exactly 11:17.

God even went as far as to confirm that this was Him when a conversation with our manager today ended in 1:17, with him feeling that it was God again revealing His invisible Presence with us. Amen! And this awareness of God’s Presence gives me the peace and the confidence to move forward (even without hubby’s approval sometimes). God is our ultimate Boss (Wink! Wink!) Hubby, in the end wished us the best with my decision.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” – Proverbs 3:5-6
