So, I went out on a long run with Him today to discuss whether or not to continue my postings with my videos and blogs, given everything I have going on right now. Almost at the end of the run, feeling all hyped up and strong, I said to Him, ‘I’m telling everyone that I’m the definition of a BAD BITCH, so what the heck, the videos, and blog continue. AT THAT VERY MOMENT (no lie!), I was listening to the song Ballin, and the lyrics unbelievably says, “Got a BAD BITCH.” Wink! Wink! And I took it, of course, as one of my God winks where everything lines up a little bit too perfect to be a regular coincident, it was God Himself confirming, ‘Yes, Nik, you are My bad bitch!’
That goes for us all! I know it’s a scary time, but we have to see ourselves as unafraid, bold, heroic, brave, courageous, tough, strong, unflinching, confident, fierce, handling our business kind of people KNOWING GOD HIMSELF IS BACKING US UP. No time for playing weak, poor old me, victims, no, we’re soldiers for God doing our thing for our families, communities, and our world. Amen!
But at the same time, we’re also soft:
“God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.” – 1 John 4:16
Which is sometimes the hardest part, let me tell ya. That’s when the real badness comes out when we can let go of the hurts, disappointments, distresses, failures, mistakes, and pain and be the heroic, staying on the high road, loving, forgiving, nonjudgmental, gentle, faithful, and humble bad people God asks us to be. Not conforming to the world or what anyone else expects of us but simply keeping our lives intertwined with God constantly asking Him, “What would You have me to do here?”
“Don’t lose your grip on Love and Loyalty.
Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart.
Earn a reputation for living well
in God’s eyes and the eyes of the people.
Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he’s the one who will keep you on track.” – Proverbs 3:3-6
