God continues to blow me away. He is so intimately involved in our lives that I ain’t worried about nothin. At exactly 10:53 am yesterday, I had the following conversation with a fellow Facebook blog writer/friend, Vincent:
Vincent: “You see, I have learned a great deal from you and your post. I see that you don’t complain about the way others treat you, but rather you live in such a way that it reflects on them how they ought to treat you. They see the light in you and just change on their own. wow!”
Nikki: “You’re giving me God winks today because I said to my friend Sal this morning: “Our lights must shine!” We have to be God’s representatives.”
Vincent: I realized that what God wants from us is to live in such a way that even in silence, someone can be inspired and serve God. Yeah…one day, I can remember now, but I was just thinking, and a thought like a voice came to me, and said, “look, this thing you want to do, this writing you are doing and teaching others how to live, you must live it yourself, because ppl are watching you, if you don’t live it, you are a fraud.” It startled me. And since then, I try to watch myself. I have to catch myself doing wrong.
Nikki: A lady said to me a few weeks ago, “I’ve been watching you.” I was at my children’s school fair picking up garbage and doing whatever I could to help and she was there watching me. Trust me-they are watching!
An hour later, my alarm for my 12 pm appointment with God sounded, and this is when He blew me away, as if HE had something HE wanted to add to Vincent and I’s conversation. I got the feeling to continue reading from where I last left off in Tim Storey’s book, ‘Comeback and Beyond:’
“The way you act and the choices you make influence everyone around you, even those you least expect to influence. You may not be aware of who is watching you, and only years later hear of the impact you had on their life. (The way how I shared recently how my sister Kelly has so influenced me!)
What will the next generation see in you? What do the people round you see in you?
If you want the next generation of believers not to cover or back down, to fight for their comebacks, to cover each other’s weaknesses and lift each other up, and to stand strong in the midst of crisis, then we need to show them how it’s done! We need to walk the talk. Is what we say we believe what the people in our lives see us living?”
… Ain’t Worried About Nothin
I told ya…
WE ROLL WITH GOD
