“LET’S BE HAPPY”

That’s me encouraging a friend a few minutes ago and a message to ALL of us (including me!) today. We’ve both noticed how God has a way of revealing stuff to us. Like God, I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY didn’t need to know that!!! But I’m on to Him because He knows the situations we need …

“YOU ALWAYS MOTIVATE ME AND BRING ME ANOTHER STEP CLOSER TO GOD…

…I’m very blessed by your inspirational word. I hope and pray that you reach out to many people like me.” This Facebook message from a young man touched my heart yesterday. And it’s my prayer as well to reach many more people with this GREAT NEWS that God is intimately involved in every moment of …

“NIKKI, YOU LOOK LIKE A DIFFERENT PERSON”

That was from my friend, Mabel, yesterday. I told her that she has been a significant part of my transformation as she was the one to introduce me to smoothies, but she corrected me saying, “No. It’s the work of God.” HERE’S THE DEAL: God makes us BETTER! I’m amazed when I look back on …

GOD, I TAKE BACK THAT PRAYER FOR A CLOSER WALK WITH YOU!!!

That’s me having some fun and JOKING with God, lately! I’m so on to Him now, and I know that the way He brings us closer to Him is through tribulations, challenges, disappointments, pain, hurts, frustrations and LOTS OF SUFFERING. When we’re happy, and everything is going our way, we forget about God, but when …

‘GOD, I THINK I SHOULD TAKE DOWN THAT POST FROM LAST NIGHT’

I had quickly written something after finishing dinner with my family, telling my hubby that I was feeling guilty that I didn’t do my work for God WHO IS SO FAITHFUL TO US. But, this morning, I felt it wasn’t my best work and that I should remove it. However, I felt Him saying, ‘If …

GOD STICKS WITH HIS PROMISE TO HELP ME

In this life, you will have trouble, BUT WE HAVE GOD TO HELP US GET THROUGH ANYTHING THAT MAY COME OUR WAY. God is an expert in EVERYTHING, and His WISDOM, GUIDANCE, AND HELP have never failed me, no matter the problem area. He’s pretty cool like that! So, I’ve written recently how this particular …

“GOD DOESN’T WANT ME TO MISS OUT ON WHAT HE HAS PLANNED FOR ME”

That was me to my friend yesterday ENJOYING a piece of birthday cake at her house. As I sat down at the table to eat alone, I said let me see what God has to say to me through a kids’ devotional there. It was the perfect message, and I shared with my friend why: …

THE PRAYER THAT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE:

God, I want a CLOSER walk with You. Amen. I think I said it back in 2010 or so, and to see how God has changed me from a sad, anxious, bitter, unforgiving, fretful, overweight, starving for love, crazy lady into a happy, loving, forgiving, peaceful and fearless warrior, has been nothing short of a …

A TOAST TO GOD

Instead of throwing out some old smoothie, I asked my cook, Victoria, to place it in a glass for me. She, very surprisingly, put it in a champagne glass. It was the very one I would use to have a nightly drink with my hubby in my attempts to dumb all the UGLY thoughts I …

‘NIK, YOU’RE BECOMING QUITE LAZY THESE DAYS’

That’s the message I seem to be picking up from God. I told ya’ll, He is pretty talkative once you get to know Him! It started with my housekeeper and cook leaving us over the holidays. Let me tell ya, your girl over here was NOT HAPPY that I would have to spend the “holiday” …
