I am calling you out…

Someone shared a story recently, her friend overhead her househelp coughing and quickly went to get her drugs for the cough, while she was bringing the drugs, the Holy Spirit told her, you are not buying this drugs because you love her, but because you don’t want her to transfer the cough to your children. She felt she was showing love but God exposed it for what it was.

It reminded me of my own call out recently…The online school has not been funny, adding three children’s varied curriculum to my own has not been a walk in the park. Since I am not too good with math, I told my husband to help out, he did it once and went MIA, all my “sermons” fell at my feet. Anyways, I moved on and called my younger brother to come over and assist.

Last week, the school announced its C.A test. We did it, and I divided the portion (since oga did not do anything, he will go through the work, wise of me right?😁, I too get sense😏)

We finished the test, I told him his duty and he agreed, not forgetting to remind him once, maybe twice🙈 and he kept promising.

I was praying on Saturday and asking God for deeper and more of Him… Such a deep prayer and the next thing I hear is, “stand up, and go through those C.A.” but that’s oga’s duty now, I was like, let me finish the prayer, as I opened my mouth to say, “more Lord, ” I heard it again, “go, now!” 

I didn’t need to be told again. The thing is, I had convinced myself I was being fair, giving him an opportunity to be involved in his children ‘s lives, but it actually was a trap, an excuse to be self-righteous and look good, to show how I was the long-suffering wife and mother who has to do it all and he does nothing (it’s only C.A, I know, you can judge me🤦‍♀️). 

It was embarrassing, I know it’s only God and I, here I was being a “good girl” by asking for more but God went to the root and exposed me. I apologized to God and went to do the work like I should have done from the beginning and swallowed the sermon aka nagging I had prepared in my head. 

We all have “good intentions,” but we have to be careful they are really that… Not good intention wearing a mask. 

What are your”good intentions?” 

Have you ever been called out for a “good intention?”
