“YOU KNOW YOUR MOMMA IS A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH!”
That was me to my fierce daughter, Ember, yesterday. I wanted to call her, but I said I know my personality gets a bit overbearing, so I resisted. Within five minutes, she was the one calling me. That’s my boo! I told her about my lonely life of feeling rejected by other people and thinking I have to be less of myself to be accepted. But how God told me recently in an appointment with Him that I’m never too much for Him, and that I should never dim my light just because others think I’m too bright. He tells me, ‘NIK, SHINE EVEN BRIGHTER!’ Yes, Boss!!!
I told her what an inspiration she is to me. She has already gotten accepted at a top university in New York along with almost $30,000 per year in scholarship monies. Her dream is to intern at one of the leading firms on Wall Street while still attending college full time. Talk about being too much, that’s her! My daughter for sure! “I’m coming with you!” I tell her. I want to meet with New York publishers to take my message from God to the next level. Whoop! Whoop!
I can’t stop thanking her for telling me about Justin Bieber’s concert that’s going to be held minutes away from our home in Florida ON MY BIRTHDAY. No coincidence! It was God arranging this for His fav girl here (maybe this is why I don’t have too many friends – referring to myself as God’s fav girl! LOL!) But I play Justin Bieber’s song ‘Favorite Girl,’ and I imagine Him singing these lyrics to me:
“My favorite, My favorite, My favorite
My favorite girl, My favorite girl
You’re used to going out your way to impress these Mr. Wrongs
BUT YOU CAN BE YOURSELF FOR ME, I’LL TAKE YOU AS YOU ARE (That goes for all of us!!!)
I know they said, “Believe in love, ” is a dream that can’t be real
So, girl, let’s write a fairy tale
And show ’em how We feel
You’re who I’m thinking of
Girl, you ain’t My runner-up
And no matter what you’re always number one”
My daughters got so sick of me playing Justin Bieber so loud that they begged me to stop. So, for him to come and have a concert on my birthday, minutes away from us, is God and I continuing to write this fairy tale of His deep love for me. Not only for me, though, but that’s also how much He loves each of us. I’m just the God nerd who pays attention. (SMILE)
I want us all to have this close relationship with God! I ask my daughters all the time, “Aren’t you God’s fav girl?’ Looking at everything God has done for them, they truly believe they are. I’m thinking for the concert we will EVEN wear t-shirts saying, “GOD’S FAVORITE GIRL.”
Don’t miss out! Start seeking a closer relationship with God. Just say this prayer with me, ‘God, I want a closer walk with You.’ He doesn’t require perfection, and He doesn’t judge us the way other humans do. We’re never too much for Him! He loves us unconditionally, and no matter how many times we fall and fail, He stands strong with us to help us get back on track. We can leave the past in the past and move confidently forward with God as our GREATEST FRIEND EVER!!! Amen!!!
