CAN I TELL YOU GUYS ABOUT MY FAV APPOINTMENT WITH GOD EVER EVER?!?
I was lying on my bed, feeling so terrible about myself. Like, ‘Nik, you keep saying you’re going to do this, you’re going to do that, but you end up doing nothing but eating junk foods and watching TV. You’re a complete mess! What’s wrong with you.’ I was so frustrated with myself, feeling like a total loser. A few minutes later, after my pity party, but still in my terrible feeling good for nothing state, I said, let me have an appointment with God. Look what incredibly showed up on the very page and book I opened to, written as if God was speaking directly to me at that moment:
“Even when you feel good for nothing, give Me this nothing. Didn’t I create with nothing? All I ask of you is the will to give yourself to Me at all times, in cloud or sunshine. And I’ll take you into the happy Upper Room of My servants and My friends.” – He and I
Tell me! What kind of love is this? That at my awful moment of feeling good for nothing and beating myself up, God found a way to come and wrap His arms around me and comfort me. Nik, give Me your nothing!!! Didn’t I create the entire world from nothing! That’s the love I want you to KNOW and experience for yourself. He comes to us at our lowest and picks us up WITH HIS LOVE. He is not like other humans who cut you off when you do something they don’t like, His love is unconditional, and He stands ready to help you bounce back, even from nothing!

He went as far as sending me my own personal coach last year when I needed help. My brother, Kevin, almost always took my calls, listened to me, and gave me the best advice. One of the last things he said to me last year, though, is finally getting through, ‘Forget shining bright! I want you to be wise.’
For me, that means going to God in every decision asking what He would have me to do. Not being tossed to and fro by every little event taking place, getting all emotional, sad, angry, crazy, and depressed. That was last year, not this year! To be the wife, mother and person He would like me to be. Like my sons are a little upset with me, but I told them I’m not their friend right now, but in the future, they will thank me. The wiser Nik is learning to stand firm with God, being who I feel He would have me to be by going the extra mile in love. The unconditional love we receive from Him is the love He wants us to share with others. As we do that, He is behind the scenes fighting battles on our behalf! My daughter, Julie, had me in tears today speaking of a college Professor who truly brought out the best in her. I’m amazed as to how God coordinated all of this! For Julie to attend college while still a high school student. His love is too much!!!! He exceeds our expectations!!!
