I’M FEELING OVERWHELMINGLY LOVED BY GOD

Sometimes things will happen in our lives that will completely knock the wind out of our sails, and that’s where a relationship with God comes sweetly in to help us recalibrate, refocus, and reset, baby. I can genuinely BRAG about the times I fall because that’s when God reveals MORE of His Presence with me. I have a calendar on my desk stuck on this message:

“God will not loosen His grip on us in our time of need. If anything, He will tighten it.”

That’s my testimony! God has tightened His grip on me! I was so low that I formed a support group with my brothers, Kevin and Jason, and our friend, Ceri. No shame! Your girl was down! I later on added my husband and a good friend because LIFE GETS HARD AND IT’S OK TO ASK FOR HELP. Today, I did a struggle run with Coach Bennet, who suggested that I thank the people who supported me when I’ve struggled. Thanks, my support group and the many other angels God sent my way (HUGE SMILE).

HOWEVER, THE MOST SUPPORT AWARD GOES TO GOD!!!! Oh my goodness, I feel like the most loved person in the world goes to such great lengths to let me know He is with me to comfort me. The hardest part of my days has been getting out of bed in the mornings, and yesterday I didn’t get up in time, and I missed that morning run before dropping the boys to school. But guess who came to me when I couldn’t make it to my God tree? God.

A friend sent me a message from Nigeria quoting this verse:

“Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.” Mark 4:39

Right after that, I opened my new meditation book that I asked my friend, Mabel that I could please have from her house. Out of 335 pages of Bible verses, I promised you, I opened directly to this one on the very first opening of it:

“Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.” Mark 4:39

And that right there was no coincidence! It was God’s words to me on that difficult morning of not wanting to get out of bed: ‘Nik, PEACE BE STILL, I AM RIGHT HERE WITH YOU.’

You see the love and comfort God gives me! At 6:27, I sent that friend back that message that her verse immediately appeared in this thick book. It’s God’s message to us all. HE IS WITH US!!! BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO MOURN BECAUSE HE IS THERE TO COMFORT US IN ALL OUR DISTRESS.

A special thanks to my hubby, though, for praying with me every day under my God tree. The prayers are working! Your ride-or-die wife is more committed to our family than ever. Right or wrong, I’m with you guys, and GOD IS DEFINITELY WITH US!!!
