That was my daughter, Ember, to me the other day. Honestly, it was just the wakeup call I needed, ‘Yes, Ms. Nikki, why are you still in bed?’ I immediately jumped up, threw on my exercise clothes, and went for a run with God to hash out what was on my mind. He is my psychiatrist! The world’s best one, by the way! And He loves it when we come to Him!
I jogged over to my 47 trees and high fived the last one saying to God, “WE’RE TOGETHER.” Every day that message is sinking in more and more. That I can go through my entire life KNOWING God and I are TOGETHER no matter what comes my way. The hurts will come, but I can shake them off and keep my eyes fixed on God, who gives me more than I can ever ask or imagine. The challenges will come, but His wisdom, direction, and strength are available to get me through anything. I can, therefore, go through life at peace and full f joy KNOWING I have the Creator of the entire universe ALWAYS with me. Heehaw!
Yesterday, He sang to me through Ja Rule’s song:
“Girl, it feel like You and I been mourning together Inseparable, we chose pain over pleasure For that you’ll forever be a, part of Me Mind, body and soul ain’t no I in We (baby) When you cry who wipes your tears When you scared, who’s telling you there’s nothin’ to fear Girl, I’ll always be there When you need a shoulder to lean on Never hesitate knowing you can call on, your soul-mate”
God, enough mourning together! It’s the world against You and I as I take my place on Your heart, responding to every moment of my life from that perspective, giving you the front row seat as my audience. I will strive to be the wife, mother, and person you are calling me to be in every quarter-second, as I enjoy my life with You, sucking up Your love and approval. Ain’t no I in WE! Wink! Wink!
