IT’S A NO BRAINER; WE NEED GOD!!!
This life is too hard to do without Him!!! Like I’m so happy that someone complained to my husband that I talk too much about Ceri (hubby is low-key jealous!). Whoever that person is, “THANK YOU!!!” Honestly, I got back to thinking to when I first was introduced to Ceri and the extremely low state I was in – sad, depressed, frustrated, overwhelmed, anxious, and overburdened by everything I had going on. Just to get out of bed was a serious struggle. I was so low that I formed a support group with Ceri and my brothers, Jason and Kevin. No shame! I needed support! Almost a year later, though, a new Nikki has emerged – happy, joyful, peaceful, more loving, and Godfident! Here’s some of what happened:
Ceri faithfully does some recordings in a group called Breakfast and the Bible. I would go there, screenshot those recordings and upload them to our YouTube channel: WE ROLL WITH GOD. Ceri takes Bible verses and breaks them down so that we can apply Biblical principles to our daily lives today. So, no shame again, I would be so low that I would listen to the same messages from him repeatedly until my mind was calm and I had the courage to keep going.
I was replacing all the sad and anxious thoughts with thoughts of faith, hope, and love. Ceri would say things like, “Most importantly, obey God. God has asked her to do things: LOVE HIM AND LOVE OTHERS. AND THAT LOVE FOR OTHERS GOES UNCONDITIONALLY. Even when my crazy self wanted to react to situations, with one look at God, I knew what He would have me to do, and I was obedient. I said for this God who is doing so much for me, God, anything to please You!
Long story short, the Biblical principles taught by Ceri are seriously working for me. Ceri explains that this is our spiritual food. Just as we need regular food, we need spiritual nourishment, and the Bible is a great place to learn the wisdom we need to tackle our lives – NO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL, BABY! I have an entire playlist of these recordings of Ceri (over 200 of them!). LISTEN TO THEM! I don’t want to be this joyful, at peace, and close to God by myself. Ceri has taken me to a new realm of closeness with God, and I’m more excited than ever to share his messages with the world. Today, I told our family group that I’m more committed to them than ever. And to my jealous husband – this wife is so in love with you and our family! Thank you for being our gift from God! I love my life with you guys!
