NIKKI, ARE YOU CALLING TO TELL ME ABOUT A GOD WINK?!?
That was from my beautiful friend, Kira. I called to ask her permission to use this picture of her. She’s been my friend since 5th grade and I was thrilled to see her looking so young, healthy and happy – I’m inspired! You rock, my love!!!
Am I really that bad with the God winks?!? They’re when, out of the blue, things line up just too perfect to be considered a regular coincident. I believe they are arranged by God Himself to remind us that His invisible Presence is always with us.
Like I’ve had this poster on my bathroom door for months
in hopes of improving on some weak areas. One of them was to spend two hours with God every day reading my meditation books and learning more about Him (total God geek here!). Every time I would look at it, though, I would cringe because with everything I have going on, two minutes is difficult, much less two hours.
So, Saturday, I finally took a different spin on it, and instead of feeling guilty, I changed that 2 to 24, meaning I would spend 24 hours with God, making Him the center of every move I make. I was thrilled with this change- no more feeling guilty about not having alone times with Him, my entire life will now be ALL about Him in every moment TRYING to be the Nik He is calling me to be. And just for the pleasure of knowing He is always with me as my GREATEST FRIEND EVER. Through the difficult and happy times! Yayy! And even when I mess up, He always seems to just say, ‘Mistakes are OK. Improve next time!’
So, a couple of hours later, I go to get a 15-minute pedicure on my way to the airport to catch a flight, believe it or not. And in that short time, a song that I feel God sings to me through, played on the radio:
“24 hours… I need more hours with you.”
So, after changing that poster to 24 hours with God, He sings and says, ‘Nik, I need more hours with you!!!’ No coincident that that song played, it was God showing me His love.
And that’s the God I’ve come to know. He has the sweetest and coolest personality and He’s intimately involved in every moment of our lives. See how that song lined up too perfectly for me to tell that lady I have 15 minutes for that pedicure and of all songs in the entire world, for that specific one to play while I was there was all orchestrated by Him.
And not only does He sing to me, but I feel Him working behind the scenes in every aspect of my life. He gives me more than what I can expect from Him, from the right people showing up to help me, to ideas and solutions and what specific steps to take and solve problems seem to magically pop to mind, and even when I’m sad, He ALWAYS figures out some way to comfort me. He fills my life with such love.
Are you getting to know His personality and love for yourself? Don’t miss out on the best life with Him as your Guide, Counselor, Teacher, Advisor, Father and Friend. Repeat this prayer with me, ‘God, I want a closer walk with You. Amen.’
