That’s the question I had to ask myself AGAIN after just making another video telling one of my God stories. If I’m trying to please human beings, I can nitpick all the flaws and think it’s not good enough, and not release it. But if I’m trying to win the approval of God, I will say, “God, let Your will be done.” Which I know would be to share the imperfect video (Ain’t nothing perfect, girl!) and not worry who will like it or not. I’m following Jesus, making my entire life a close walk with God, and having the COURAGE to do what He asks of me.
And let me tell ya, it’s NOT always easy following His will. God takes me on some very treacherous paths at times. But that’s where WARRIOR NIKKI has to come out and say, “God, let’s do this!” and tackle whatever situation that comes up. That was the conversation I had with someone yesterday on a matter: “We got to man up and be brave about this KNOWING God is on our side, and He’s going to help us. He’s an expert in everything!”
“As for me, my hope is in God!”
I’m back fasting, seeking an even closer walk with God, and yesterday that included spending some extra time alone with him hanging out on our rooftop. I had a talk with Him about the video I wanted to shoot today and the story I wanted to tell about the time he spoke to me through a song playing in the background of a London store. I felt STRONGLY that He agreed that this would be the story to share.
But before leaving, I didn’t feel that appointment was complete. I felt in my spirit to read an old post, and I searched my email for “KEEP CALM” to read an old write up there. Rereading my past experiences with God GREATLY increases my faith and confidence in Him in a terrifying world. And out of ALL the posts, the one I selected, was one entitled, “Can I talk to you?” Can you believe it was me retelling the exact story I felt STRONGLY God wanted me to share in the video today? Talk about confirmation! God, high five!
KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
