God-winks

Are the little occurrences in my life random or is God orchestrating them?

my younger sister took this sick photo

I first heard about the term ‘God-winks’ while listening to a podcast, Whoa That’s Good. To simply explain it, it means those little things that happen that make you feel like God is smiling or in this case, winking at you. Example, you were just saying in your heart under the hot sun that “If only somebody could give me a ride to the junction” and then someone stops and asks you to hop in. (This rarely happens to me sha.) That’s what God-winks are all about. The term was coined by Squire D. Rushnell in his book about the subject. I personally haven't read it so I can't say anything about it being a great book.

Anyway, what prompted me to write this is yesterday, I was calculating the morsel of bread in my account while I was going to buy snacks in school because I was hungrier than usual and I truly couldn't endure it. I was quite bummed that I was spending more money than I wanted to because I am in rich man’s pikin school.

Anywho, I went to the snack bar and was about to ask the woman there to give me Fab biscuit because if i’m spending money I don't want to, it better be on something I actually love with my whole heart so that the pain over spending will be less. At least I'm eating Fab.

So a man, probably a lecturer or something, was also at the bar buying something. I greeted him and he smiled and asked me how I was doing. Then he asked me what I was getting and told the woman to add it to his bill. Mind you, I don't know this man from Adam. I just about melted with I heard him say that and I appreciated him. He then asked again, “Is that all you’re getting?” I told him it was and he said, “You are disappointing me o.” He was willing to spend more because of me, guys. I laughed and said thank you again and joyfully left with my Fab.

I was floating on the clouds for a while and kept saying, “Thank You, Jesus.” For me, that was God winking at me. I don't want to hear anything about it being a random occurrence. I don't care.

them: it's a random occurrence. me:

All this to say that I do believe God is in the little details of my life and I want to keep believing that because it makes life more joyful and a little less mundane.

Do you believe that too?

May we never lose our childlike wonder. Amen.

(I keep ending with prayers these days. Lol.)

That's all for today, folks.

Until next time, beautiful one.

Let me put you on some good music. This is one of my favourites of Brandon Lake ever and I don't know why it isn't one of his more popular songs.
