That’s not only the song God sings to me; it’s how He makes me feel. Like this morning, right before running to my God tree, I looked at a brown Coach New York bag my brother, Jason, gave me. I thought back to another brown Coach New York bag given to me by a close friend in Nigeria. She went to visit London, and of all things there, she brought me back another brown Coach New York bag with a beautiful purse inside. That was years ago when Ember and I had our eyes on the prize of her attending university in New York despite my husband constantly telling us, “Ember is not going to university in New York!” Guys, I took that brown bag from my friend as more important than the bag inside, feeling this was a special glimmer from God that He was with us in this battle for Ember to go to New York. I said to Ember, “We’re going to do what I always write about in my posts, “Do the best of your abilities, then leave the rest with God.” Long story short, “God came through with hubby finally giving his blessings for her to go!

Fast forward thirty minutes or so later, after seeing Jason’s brown Coach bag and thinking of that story, I go for my run. Because I had an appointment, I didn’t make it to my God tree, so at 51 minutes past the hour, I stopped at another random tree and went to page 51 of our family’s website, and of all stories to show up, this one did:

“OUR EYES ARE ON THE PRIZE, BABY GIRL!”
I just sent this in a text to my daughter, Ember, along with a pic of a bag I now cherish with “New York” printed on it! I’m taking it as a special God wink at my daughters and me. They want to go to university there, and I want to meet with a book agent to help me spread this GREAT news that God is intimately involved in every aspect of our lives, it’s just for us to learn His voice and to be obedient to Him.”

No way that story showing up was some random coincidence minutes after I thought of that story! It was God Himself revealing a glimmer of His invisible Presence with me. He timed precisely when I needed to stop at that tree! See the love of God I don’t want you guys to miss out on. For Him to orchestrate for me to see that bag and minutes later that story out of 146 web pages was all Him showing me His deep, deep love for me and my family.

Both of our daughters are now attending university in New! I’m giving God all the glory and praise for working in the spiritual realm on our behalf to see that happen! We may not see a way and how everything will work out, but God does. It’s just for us to keep showing up in every moment, giving our utmost best, being obedient to God, and trusting God to do His part behind the scenes. Wink! Wink!

Everything is between us and God! Don’t mind what anyone else is doing! It’s just for us to say, God, what is your perspective on this circumstance? This relationship? This decision? And how can I enter into it to glorify you? I promise, you, this is the way to the best life with God. Yes, He does ask us to do some hard things, to sacrifice and suffer through some challenges, but they’re so worth it. People may disappoint us, but God doesn’t. So we must keep our eyes fixed on God in every moment and learn His voice through alone times seeking Him so we know what He would have us to do on a moment-by-moment basis.

“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us…” – Epesaians 3:20

We can do all things with God who strengthens us! Amen!

TAKE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD SERIOUSLY!!!

I have a new guy in my life! He is a Muslim pastor named Mufti Menk, and he is taking me to a new realm of closeness with God, baby! He said this in an Instagram reel, and it has changed me:

“Your five daily prayers; Work on them. Hold on to them. Become strong on them and see the miracles in your life.”

Let me tell ya, I’m back running to my God tree in the dark because of this message! I’m taking my relationship with God more seriously than ever. When the going gets tough, the tough (us!!!) get closer to God. I’m blown away by how God would figure out all these unique ways to reveal His Presence with me there. I run to the tree, excited to hear from God! Here’s what happened today:

Before getting to the bench close to the tree where I sit to read and hear from God, I saw a mile marker on the running path that said 1/6, so I said I would go to page 16 of our family’s We Roll With God website. But this God wink began last night when I forgot my keys in the office to get into my house, so I said let me go and have dinner at a close restaurant while I waited for my nephew to come and open up for me.

There, having alone time with God, reading a meditation book, the verse from the Bible, “Vengeance is mine, says the Lord showed up. I then thought about a customer, Richard, who taught me that. I then start thinking about all the other things Richard taught me and how he has had such a strong influence on my life in the little conversations we’ve had. It’s amazing the wisdom he has blessed me with! I then go to the page 16 of our website and look what showed up there:

“PLEASE DON’T MENTION THAT AGAIN!!!
That was me to my daughter, Julie, after she jumped to fight for her sister’s rights to transfer from the university she is currently attending. I explained to her it was the same situation when everyone in the family turned against me when I wanted her to leave high school early and begin college. I’m so happy a customer, Richard, explained to both what’s going on with me:

“You guys may not understand your mom’s decisions now, but stick with her. Support her. Love her. Your mom is in a heavenly realm where she makes decisions with God. Just trust her and listen to her.”

Can you believe I have quoted that back so many times to my daughters? Even Ember wanting to leave her university in New York, and I would say remember what Richard said, “I’m having conversations with God that you may not understand, and I am not feeling God say you should leave that university.” Now Ember is the one telling me that not only does she NOT want to leave the university, but she herself wants to even kick it up a notch and move to the campus that’s in New York City where I’ve been trying to get her to go. The power of conversations with God!

That’s why what Menk said is on point:

“Your five daily prayers (alone times with God); Work on them. Hold on to them. Become strong on them and see the miracles in your life.”

We need to hear from God before making decisions! I stood firm with my daughter, saying I didn’t feel God was asking her to leave that university. Now she is happy she stayed, and she is enjoying working with Nike! I’m so proud of her guys! She is the one now motivating me to step up my game to make her proud of me the way I am so proud of her! That’s how we do my lil baddie! Appointments with God are a must for our lives! Let’s all learn His voice so we know the decisions He would have us to make!

GIVE YOUR HEART TO GOD

AND TO GOD ALONE!!! Let me tell ya, you don’t want to miss out on the most significant relationship ever with GOD HIMSELF!!! I’m in a new realm of closeness with Him now, baby. Like yesterday, a new friend keeps telling me he will buy a car from me. We have some pretty sacred conversations that God uses to reveal His Presence with me. The thing is pretty freaky!

Yesterday, he told me about a friend who was so brokenhearted over a lady he was having a long-distance relationship with and found out the lady had just given birth to a baby for another man. I held my hand to him as if I was holding a heart. I said, “Your heart should only belong to God. Don’t give it to anyone else! They are only going to break it! Once you know God is the complete owner of it, you handle everyone in their proper perspective.”

Fast forward a couple of hours later, I felt my spirit saying to go and read from my meditation book, ‘Jesus As Friend’ and look what incredibly showed up:

“Guarding the heart means KEEPING IT FOR GOD…Guarding the heart also means loving purely and passionately those whom we ought to love, while excluding the jealousy, envy and restlessness which are sure sources of disorder in love.”

That was no coincidence, guys!!! God wants to be the sole owner of our hearts!!! One day this friend asked me to hang out with him outside of work, and I said to him that I was infinitely percent faithful to my husband, that I am his ride or die and whatever we must go through, we’ll go through it together. I explained that I’m God’s prototype for a wife, mom, and person. The next day, I ran to God in a rough moment, and this showed up in an old post:

“Google defines a prototype (Wink! Wink!) as “someone or something that serves as a model or inspiration for those that come later.”

Again, no coincidence! I took that as an extra special wink from God to inspire you as the superhero wife, mom, and person on God’s behalf. No matter what anyone else is doing, I want God to hold full possession of our hearts, then share His love with the world – HOLDING EVERYONE IN THEIR PROPER PERSPECTIVE! Don’t give your heart to anyone!!! Just love everyone genuinely and purely with God’s love! Got that? This old post explains where God wants us:

“It was my brother, Kevin, who said to me under my God tree one day something like, “Neeks, you’re like a boxer right now. You eventually get numb to the pain after getting hit in your head like 10,000 times.” That’s what has happened. The figurative (not real, guys!) blows don’t affect me like they did in the past. The emotional, weak, and wreck of a person needed to go! This was all God’s LOVING way to help me become the Neeks He would have me to be: courageous, tough, brave, strong, confident in Him woman, but at the same time, loving, gentle, loyal, faithful, enduring, kind, and going the extra mile wife, mother and person HE WOULD HAVE ME TO BE. Thanks to the pain!

One Sunday, I was at brunch with Kevin when an elderly server said, “You have to have a shield on so that nothing gets through to bother and upset you.” I wake up now and put on my shield. The disappointments still come, but with my shield on, I don’t let them get to me anymore the way they used to. I now live from a space of having one foot on earth with the hurts, disappointments, messiness, clutter, challenges, and brokenness exist, and the other foot in heaven FOCUSED ON GOD.”

Can we all serve as God’s prototypes, bringing heaven to earth by being His representatives, especially in our homes? God’s ways are not our ordinary human ways. Like I told hubby with the boys today, “If we ask anything more of you, we would be greedy!” God has been teaching me to focus on the angels and innocence of others, not their demons and guilt. Me included! I’m still my own biggest enemy! We’re all a constant work in progress.

“Learn to get good at covering the offenses of others,” is what Victoria Osteen taught me. We do that for God and ourselves so that we don’t waste precious time and energy getting bitter, angry, upset, and constantly frustrated, replacing those emotions with love, forgiveness, gentleness, kindness, and patience. I leave everyone on their journey with God while focusing on running my race the best I can. I had such a beautiful evening picking up and hanging out with my super sons! Super wife, momma, and person, all for God’s glory! I get to show up every day knowing He has my back! My help comes from the Lord! Wink! Wink!

I’M IN A NEW REALM OF CLOSENESS WITH GOD, BABY!

The way He is showing up for me! Like last night, I was making up my bed thinking that I wanted to buy a perfume named “Alien” because I wanted to be reminded of my daughter, Julie, who is so hard-working, disciplined, and focused. She came to work with us and completely changed the culture of our business! ‘I need to be more like Julie!’ I thought to myself. Fast forward to this morning, the Nike Running Club announced that I had run 23 minutes for my first mile, so I went to page 23 of our family’s website, and look what incredibly showed up out of 146 pages:

“I gave her (Julie) a big hug because she has gone the extra mile for me as a daughter. I noticed that she smelled nice, so I asked her what perfume she was wearing. Guess the name, guys? “ALIEN””

Then, I was out running an errand for my brother, Jason, and I called him, telling him that the zip code where he sent me ended in “311,” which means that I should stay on the highest road with God and BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD (He is in control of everything and everyone). The following day at the God tree, this old post showed up:

“So, on Monday, your girl woke up stressing (hey, I’m only human!). But here is how God showed up. First, it was a customer who I offered to pick up. She sent me the address from where she had to return a rental vehicle, and the building number ended in “311.” Next, I’m filling out her application to apply for the loan, and her zip code astonishingly ends in “311.” I submitted her application, and the first bank that approved her, the payment turned out to be exactly “$311.11.” No way these were all random coincidences; they were all orchestrated by God to remind me of His deep love for me and that He is by my side as I bravely, courageously, and lovingly take on my life. HEEHAW!!!”

I can honestly go on and on forever with how close I’m feeling to God right now, but the critical message I want to get across to you today is what my brother, Kevin, has been teaching me, “Neeks, I want you to be wise. For me, that means making God the center of every move you make, your top priority and focus. Notice how I don’t play around with my daily runs to my God tree, where I sit down and ask what He has to say. I also don’t play with my ‘Words of Wisdom’ from Ceri, my other brother, on our “We Roll With God” YouTube channel. Ceri gives me the God mindset to take on my days lovingly, joyfully, and bravely, knowing there is never a moment when God’s Presence isn’t with me, helping and supporting me.

Don’t conform to the world that tells us things like not being weak or humble, setting boundaries, and not taking or putting up with stuff from other people. LISTEN TO GOD! Let me tell ya, God loves the humble and rewards humility. What the world may consider weak, like overlooking and covering offenses, is Godly wisdom. God rewards us when we have patience and seek peace, forgiveness, and love. Sometimes, He does ask us to go a little crazy, though, and not take some stuff, but it’s a constant conversation with God as to what He would have us to do or not do. Once you learn God’s voice, this is how He directs us on the best individual path for us that exceeds anything we can ask for or imagine. Trust me, you don’t want to miss out on this life with God! Wink! WinK! Wake up daily to some alone time with Him by listening or reading something you feel connects you with God, seeking His perspective for your life.

“I’M TRYING TO LOVE YOU LIKE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE LOVED”

That’s God singing to me through DJ Khaled, Future, and Lil Baby! Heehaw! That’s honestly how He makes me feel, like the most loved person in the universe with all the love and attention I receive from Him! Like my brother Kevin sent me a voice note, sounding upset that I didn’t come to him for help. I said, “It was all a test from God to let me know that I AM SECURE IN HIM.” Less than an hour later, I had an appointment with God, and this showed up:

“…Victoria continued: “I believe that God wants us to understand that WE ARE SECURE IN HIM (Wink! Wink!).”

Fast forward to me waking up in the middle of the night feeling extremely overwhelmed and anxious, I asked God to pick a TikTok video for me to watch. I closed my eyes and scrolled, letting my finger land on the video God wanted me to watch, and the very one I picked was captioned:

“GOD WANTS US TO KNOW THAT WE ARE SECURE IN HIM”

NO ONE CAN TELL ME THAT WAS A RANDOM COINCIDENCE!!! You guys see the love of God to first give me this gift of a brother who gets upset if I don’t call him to ask for help! He is like 10,000 brothers in one! I don’t know where I would be without him. Told him today that I would have probably been addicted to drugs or alcohol by now if I didn’t have him and God to run to for advice. Second, to have that message from Victoria line up less than an hour later, and of the hundreds of videos I have on TikTok, for me to close my eyes and pick that specific one was all God revealing His love and intimate presence with us.

I know I am like a broken record, but please prioritize God! I DON’T WANT TO FEEL THIS LOVED BY MYSELF! Every day, I run to my God tree, and I don’t leave until I have some glimmer of His Presence to start my day on a strong and courageous note, knowing God Himself is with me. TAKE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD SERIOUSLY!!! Wake up every day asking Him what He has to say to you so you learn His voice when you’re back in the world! TRUST ME, THIS LIFE IS TOO HARD TO DO ON OUR OWN!!!

GOD SPEAKS TO ME FACE TO FACE, BABY!

Yesterday was a pretty rough day for your girl! After the crazy lady showed up dealing with some messy love stuff, I went for a run this morning and as Burna Boy says the number 21 in the song I was listening to, I looked down at my phone and saw the number 21 and because that lined up a little bit too perfectly, I went to page 21 of our family website and incredibly read this:

“… AND ALL THAT SURROUNDS YOU ARE SECRETS AND LIES (Wink! Wink!)”

Wow! God is all up in my business! For that 21 to show up in that song AND on my phone precisely together was a wink from God saying, ‘Nik, you need to read this old post AGAIN!’ Here’s the complete post with God precisely telling me how to handle my life at the moment:

““… AND ALL THAT SURROUNDS YOU ARE SECRETS AND LIES”

Those are the lyrics of a song I said describe exactly my life at the moment. It is what it is, folks! We have to take the joy with the pain, the sunshine with the rain (that’s life!), and continually ask God for the grace and strength to deal with whatever comes. So, in asking God how to wrap my mind around the secrets and lies, I went for a talk with Him under my God tree. No shame in my game! I need God! Can you believe I saw the number 23, and I went to page 23 of our family’s website and this message from years ago showed up at the very top of that page:

“… but more in the sense of what we mean by “trust.” THIS GOES BEYOND SIMPLY PRESUMING THAT THE OTHER IS NOT LYING OR CHEATING (Wink! Wink!). Such basic trust recognizes GOD’S LIGHT SHINING BEYOND THE DARKNESS… This trust enables a relationship to be free. It means we do not have to control the other person, to follow their every step lest they escape our grip. Love trusts, it sets free, it does not try to control…

…This means that love bears every trial with a positive attitude. It stands firm in hostile surroundings. This “endurance” involves not only the ability to tolerate certain aggravations (or like I put it, putting up with some things we may not like), but something greater: A CONSTANT READINESS TO CONFRONT ANY CHALLENGE. IT’S A LOVE THAT NEVER GIVES UP, EVEN IN THE DARKEST HOUR. It shows a certain dogged heroism, a power to resist every negative current, AN IRREPRESSIBLE COMMITMENT TO GOODNESS.” – The Joy of Love by Pope Francis

Is that amazing or what? I’m asking God how to deal with the secrets and lies, and He gave me specific instructions to see His light shining beyond the darkness and confront this challenge from a loving and positive space of never giving up and having an even stronger and passionate commitment to goodness. God is the best therapist! I stopped everything I was doing to go and have that run so I could have some alone time to chat, and He had the perfect post there waiting for me. We love because God first loved us. (HUGE SMILE)

That’s why I say, ‘Don’t mess around with your relationship with God!’ We need His help! See the loving way He showed up to help me with my struggles today. He is in the fires of life with us! I ran back from that tree super happy and ready to stand firm and confront any challenge that comes my way, knowing God is intimately involved in every moment. He is with you, too! Nothing we face is too complicated for Him. It’s just for us to seek Him and ask for His perspective on whatever challenge we’re facing. And then start paying attention to His answers. He is pretty talkative!

These posts I hope help us all to get stronger: tougher, more confident in God, brave and courageous, but I want us to also work on getting softer: more loving, gentler, patient, kinder, humble, compassionate, supportive, understanding, lighthearted, joyful, merciful, faithful, enduring and putting up with stuff we may not like, devoted, generous, and thinking less of ourselves and more of others. So help us, God! Amen!

“ONLY GOD GOT US OUT OF THIS!!!”

That was me to my son, Joshie, when we had our daily appointment with God today! It was a mistake where my husband accidentally placed a bid on a costly vehicle (the price of a very nice house!), and the buyer accepted his offer. We asked them to withdraw as a “goodwill” because of our mistake, but they refused. So, there began our mission to figure out this situation.

After another company refused to help us pay for it, because it was too much of a risk for them. I immediately called my husband in Nigeria to let him know this bad news. Still, before calling, I wanted to tell him we should speak to this gentleman in Orlando who had helped us out before. Before I could mention it, hubby immediately said, “Call the guy in Orlando.” My body became filled with goosebumps!” Goosebumps are a significant communication from God, saying this time, ‘Yes, My peeps, this is the way to go!’

I was not able to speak to him, though. They put me in touch with another employee, Sharon, who was happy to assist me with a solution, allowing us three weeks to sort out the issue. She gave me her contact number because she said I would call her often. Calling her often I certainly did! In one of those calls, I told her we went to pick up the vehicle from the pick-up location, and it was not there. She said, “Oh, that’s a reason you can arbitrate and back out of this sale because the sellers were supposed to have it there within 72 hours of the sale. We immediately contacted the arbitration department and said we no longer wanted the vehicle.

I called hubby from under the God tree today, saying, “Today is the day they will move that vehicle out of our account!” A few minutes later, I looked up the status on my computer, and it said $0.00 owed because the buyer (that’s us!) withdrew! We won the arbitration case, thanks to Sharon! So those goosebumps from God led me directly to her! I called her today and thanked her for being patient and understanding in helping us sort the situation out. GOD IS GREAT!!!

When I saw the email saying we purchased that vehicle, it was a constant conversation with God! The following day, I ran in the dark, asking God for His direction, and He didn’t disappoint!

Even down to the tow truck company, God told me to stick with my guy, Jason, who cold-called me one day, asking if I had any long-distance towing needs. He then helped me deliver two vehicles safely, and because of that, he earned my trust and loyalty. The feeling from God was to stick with Jason on this super expensive vehicle, too.

But here’s what happened. Jason and his team kept promising me for days to pick up the vehicle, and every day, they disappointed me. Finally, we got the tow to arrive, only to find out the car wasn’t there, exceeding the 72 hours the seller was allowed to deliver! And swoosh, just like that, we got out of that trouble! Phew!

The thing has taken my confidence in God super high, though! The time I spend running every day and seeking God has not been wasted! I’ve learned God’s voice pretty well – Nik, stick with Jason and be patient with them. Nik, call the guy in Orlando. Nik, call Sharon and tell her the vehicle was not at the pick-up location.

Also, the values I learned in these times with God, like having PATIENCE with Jason and being LOYAL to him. Also, this particular auction, we’ve stayed loyal to them, which was a big part of why Sharon went overboard in assisting us. LOYALTY PAYS!!!! When other people suggest that we purchase vehicles from other auctions for our family business, hubby and I always stick with this one. Like that’s the order from God Himself!!! Loyalty and patience also got me this better than best husband that it’s my privilege to stick with him and fight whatever battles come our way! LOYALTY AND PATIENCE, MY PEEPS, ARE REWARDED BY GOD. Don’t worry what anyone else is doing, you be the person God has called you to be!

MAKE SURE YOU ARE TAKING YOUR ALONE TIME WITH GOD SERIOUSLY! He is truly our best friend! Learn His voice and follow His guidance one moment and step at a time. Problems are a part of life, but we can relax (not in a lazy way!) knowing God Himself stands with us and is ready to help us tackle anything that comes our way. We’re not going by the ordinary rules. Our help comes from the Lord! Wink! Wink! Are you getting to know His voice and ways better?

And the way He shows up for me!!! Like this morning, before going for my run, I listened to this lady advising someone who had been in a marriage for a long time, with kids, to break up because staying together was not worth their freedom, sanity, and soul. They should consider the price of self for the pain, hurt, manipulation, and betrayal they would have to endure by staying. I commented:

“When you have kids, the rules change. You must make decisions based on what is best for the team, not just yourself.”

Maybe an hour later, I was sitting down for my appointment with God by my God tree. Out of 146 web pages, God took me to page 4, where I wrote this in an old post:

“Also, I feel Ceri’s message about God resonates with me as to the person God would have me to be. That’s why I stalk him because His Godly influence about loving God and loving others is helping me make SOME CRUCIAL DECISIONS ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY. I love how my beloved calendar (Mottos for Success) puts it:

“A team player thinks of his teammates whenever he makes a move, and he makes decisions according to what is better for the team, not just himself.” (Wink! Wink!)

“Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also the interests of others.” – Philippians 2:4″

God Himself orchestrated that message because OUR FAMILIES ARE IMPORTANT TO HIM!!! And God didn’t stop there, either! When I needed an appointment with Him when I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and under pressure, of all the verses in the Bible, look what incredibly showed up in my Tumblr feed with God saying, ‘YES!!!! THIS IS WHAT I AM EXPECTING FROM YOU GUYS!!!’:

“Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves, each looking out not for his own interests, but [also] everyone for those of others.” – Philippians 2:3-4

No one can tell me all of this happening in a few hours was a coincidence! It was all God! I tell my kids that if I have to swallow a bomb for them, I will – I’m that momma! However, Ember, my daughter, feels she is too young to pay that price for her mental health and soul, so she just broke off a relationship.

It’s a constant conversation with God. He tells me to stay in the ring and take the punches through my brother, Kevin. He tells Ember, that’s not the one for you, my sweetie, run! I’m so proud of her! She said, “Mom, I’m improving myself!” I told her to make sure she’s waking up to appointments with God every day! I said stay with the One who brought you to the dance-God! God undoubtedly picked her university for her, arranged an excellent scholarship package, and a job at Nike, which is like one straight road from her campus. That’s the deep love God shows my family, y’all!! Our motto is to do our best and leave the rest with Him! MAKE SURE YOU ARE HAVING DAILY APPOINTMENTS WITH HIM TO LEARN HIS VOICE AND VALUES TO HELP US MAKE THE WISEST AND BEST DECISIONS FOR OUR INDIVIDUAL LIVES!!!

“ALL I NEED IN THIS LIFE OF SIN IS GOD!!!”

I loved this message from yrmanda.a via Instagram! Let me tell ya, I be enjoying my Instagram a lil too much (their algorithm has completely figured me out!), but I pick up on so many crucial messages from God there. Like this one yesterday, I particularly loved:

“One of the biggest traps of the devil is, ‘You’re doing the sin; how can you go and pray?” Brothers and sisters, let me make this very clear: I don’t care if you are the biggest drug dealer sitting here. I said this so many times. I don’t care, my sister, if you are involved in a very serious filthy haram (forbidden) relationship… Don’t let that be the reason why you are held back from praying (spending alone time with God). Biggest trap from the devil is to stop you from doing that which is most important to you…” – Message to Mankind

Wow! Wow! Wow! That one blew the God maniac here away because that feeling that we have to get all cleaned up for God is the biggest lie ever!!!! We’re so used to being judged by other humans that we feel God is the same way, but He is entirely the opposite. He loves us all unconditionally, and we can know that even if we’re head high in sin! Even if we’re at the letter Z (the lowest), He invites us to a relationship with Him, where He helps us work on our weaknesses, struggles, and challenges. HIS LOVE IS TOO MUCH, and it is for us all to enjoy!

So many times I would fall what would feel like a million times in one day, and He sweetly says through this Justin Bieber song:

“Sometimes I DON’T MIND YOU HAVIN’ THE WORST DAY (Wink! Wink)…
Let your frustrations out right here
I’m Your Psychiatrist, let’s talk about it…
I see the weight weighin’ on your shoulders
It’s so heavy
Let Me be the meaning of your composure”

And that was honestly me running to my God tree today feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and burdened. Still, He found a way to let me know He was indeed the meaning of my composure when I continued reading from exactly where I had last left off with an appointment with hubby after 3 am this morning from our Jesus Calling Devotional, and it was entitled:

‘A Child of the King’

I immediately looked down at the bracelet I’ve been wearing for months now that says “Child of the King’ in the exact colors from the book of red font with white. No coincidence! But what freaked me out was my conversation with my brother, Kevin, yesterday and telling him that I finally know who I am and whose I am, and this incredibly showed up at the end of that very day’s devotional:

“Never forget who you are and Whose you are!” (Wink! Wink!)

Don’t let the devil cause you to miss out on this deep and intimate love from God! How could the words from my bracelet and my conversation with Kevin appear there? God again revealed a glimmer of His invisible presence that is always with us. Wake up every day to your appointments with God and take them seriously, NO MATTER HOW OFF TRACK YOU FEEL!!!,

I love my messages from Ceri and how he says he is extremely far from perfect (me too!), but every day he gets up and works on himself (me too!). On one, he critically asks, ‘Do you want to be better?’

God is love!!!! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! Don’t miss out on the most crucial relationship -your relationship with Papa God! Flee Devil, flee!!!
