I had an appointment with God, and it made me feel terrible that I had said I would have an hour alone with Him every day and I haven’t been consistent. I had said to God I would like a nice, quiet spot to have our times together, and VOILA, my husband buys us a new sofa set for our bedroom. And despite all this comfort, I would let life distract me from God. Right then and then, after that book reminded me of this, I committed again to my appointments with God. I thought, ‘Just how my exercise s a must every day, so will be my one hour with God!’
Maybe like 20-30 minutes later, I decided to read from the new book I’m working on of compiling these daily posts, and unbelievably look what showed up on the very page I randomly scrolled to:
“I’ve decided to make Him a BIGGER priority this year! Just how I wake up and say my exercise is a must, well, my time with God is a must! I will discipline myself to spend one hour with Him every morning reading my meditation books and asking what He has to say to me.”
No coincident! Like God took me DIRECTLY to that section of my book where I had written what I had JUST THOUGHT in my head less than 30 minutes prior! God couldnt have gotten more specific than that: ‘YES, NIKKI, I WANT TO SPEND TIME ALONE WITH YOU EVERY DAY!!!” What kind of a love is this? Who am I that God wants to spend time with little old me. I took it has Him saying, Nik, it would be My honour and privilege to spend time with you. On that note, the appointments went up to two hours a day!!!
Today, He spoke to me CLEARLY through David Goggins. He nailed on the head so many issues that I need to work on. Like this wanting to please people. David said he has gotten over that and now says, “If you don’t like me, pick a number and get to the back of the line.” I second that, David! I want my focus on God and whether people like me or understand me and what my life’s purpose is about, is not my business. God is my audience, and I want to be the unique, best and authentic version of the Nik He has created me to be. No more trying to play a character that people will accept and approve of. I gots to do me!
And that right there is what time alone with your Creator can do for ya! Do you have alone times with Him? His love is ENOUGH!! And His wisdom to guide our lives is always ASTONISHING!
“May no one surpass us in our desire for holiness.”
KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
