“WHO WAKES UP 6:30 TO CLEAN THE BATHROOM, NIKKI?”

 

That was from my funny daughter, Julie, who has fun calling me “Nikki.” Guys, God has truly led my life on such a beautiful path, that it’s my pleasure to wake up and HAPPILY clean our bathrooms, all for His glory. He said that wherever I am, He is there; therefore everything should be clean and beautiful for Him. 

 

I woke to an appointment with Him listening to Devon Franklin’s sermon on YouTube, ‘The Mamba Mentality,’ and as always, Devon inspired me when he talked about His purpose in life and how everything is tied to one thing. In my case, however, I couldn’t wrap myself around just one thing because I wear so many hats, and my focus has to be all over the place. But, God, again, knowing every thought I think, just had me to read this:

 

“’Question: What is the chief End of Man?

Answer: Man’s chief End is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.’” – Pursuit of God, A.W. Tozer

 

Woohoo! That just simplified my life’s purpose: To glorify God in being the mother, wife and person He has called me to be, and enjoy Him. “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31

 

Or like my mom taught me, “If you’re a street cleaner, be the best street cleaner there is!” God is our ULTIMATE BOSS, and I’ve found when I show up as my best self, He is the One to reward me. Not only does God reward me, I say, between Him and my hubby, they spoil me. This is definitely the sweet life with God, baby! Don’t miss out!

 

To the point, though, that I know I’ve become quite lazy, too comfortable and half-hearted. Devon asked something like is laziness stealing your destiny. I know it is for me. The green that we’re all wearing is to signify new growth and a new beginning. I’m challenging myself to leave the old Nik behind and step up to be all God has called me to be, and I’m challenging you to join me. What do you need to shake off to become your best and shiniest version of yourself, all for the glory of God? LAZINESS, NEGATIVE THINKING, AND PROCRASTINATION, FOR ME, MUST GO!!!
