GOD EXCEEDS MY EXPECTATIONS

That’s my testimony FOR SURE! Today, I had to hug and kiss my daughters, Ember and Julie, goodbye as they left on a school trip out of the country. For months we’ve been on this roller coaster with their dad as to whether they would go or not. But I’ve used it as an opportunity …

“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 COMFORTS ME SO THAT I CAN COMFORT OTHERS”

Those were my exact words to someone yesterday afternoon. Fast forward to a couple of hours later, I’m lying in bed for a few minutes to relax my brain and have a few minutes with God before dinner with my family, and I continued reading from where I had last left off in my earlier …

DO I USE GOD AS A WAY OF COPING WITH MY TERRIBLE LIFE?

I share my ups, downs, disappointments, frustrations, joyful and happy times, problems and proud moments, stresses and anxieties, weak, strong, brave and courageous moments to hopefully portray the fact that I’m going through this human experience just like everyone else, where we don’t know what to expect from one moment to the next. But, I …

“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: …

ARE YOU ENJOYING GOD?

“SMILE IN YOUR SOUL WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME (GOD).”That was my little message from Him a few minutes ago reading my meditation book. It’s actually what I’m learning to do more often, smile whenever I remember that His unseen Presence is ALWAYS with me. He has become “MY LOVE.” And I’m learning to RELAX …

DON’T GET IT TWISTED, I’M BRAGGING ABOUT GOD, NOT MYSELF!

And how HE has beautifully led me to a VERY HAPPY LIFE!!! But, WE (me and God) want YOU along with us—Hey, I don’t want to be this joyful by myself! Like between God and my hubby, they have me spoilt! This morning, seeing some mangoes on our kitchen counter from yesterday, I didn’t want …

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” …
