BOUNCE BACK!!!

That was the message from Big Sean on my morning run with God AND incredibly from Joel Osteen in a sermon that was at the top of my YouTube feed. So, of course, I took it as a WINK WINK from God that was what He wanted me to talk about today. I’m the queen of falling, lately, so I’m the perfect person to preach this message about bouncing back! No shame in my game, especially after this beautiful message showed up from God:

“Don’t you understand that I prefer someone who has FALLEN many times but who despises himself at My feet, to the self-righteous person who thinks he is without fault. My little girl, tell Me every day how sorry you are for any way you have pained Me. Take a steady look at your failures and stains, and offer them to Me so that I may wash them away. Tell Me how weak you are and how often you fail. Say: “My great friend, help me. You know only too well how helpless I am, but with You I can do anything.’ – He and I

This message was extra special after I felt like I had kept falling! Now I just cry out to God, ‘Help me!’ And with once glance and smile with Him, I catch myself, tell Him about my failure, pick myself back up, dust myself off, make amends if I need to, and I keep going and striving to be the Nik I know God has called me to be. I may fall a million times, but I will pick myself back up a million and one. Didn’t Jesus fall many times to Calvary? I’m therefore in good company!

I love how God changes my perspective on things. Nothing to feel bad about when we fall, we’re human! But with God we can do anything! Including getting up and getting back on track, no matter how many times we’ve failed. And honestly, I see myself getting stronger, wiser, better, more loving, more peaceful, more braver after every fall because I used them to seek God’s face. God, what’s going on here? And with all the love I receive from Him during these times, I rise even higher than ever before. Win! Win!

I loved the Nik who showed up early for a run with her daughter, Ember. Happy, joyful, at peace with strong faith and hope in God. The fasting with the Muslims is working! Most importantly, its bringing me closer to God where I feel so close to Him that He is going through life with me, and I handle nothing alone. Care to join us this last week? I’m going from 10 am to 5 pm, but you can pick the time that’s best and healthiest for you. If you can’t fast, try to make more space for God in your life, seeking Him and Hs wisdom. Cry out to Him, ‘God, help me!’ with anything you’re struggling with!
