WELCOME BACK TO THE KEVIN, CERI, AND NIKKI SHOW! (HUGE SMILE)
God has put the three of us together to share this up to this very moment information about living our best lives with Him, baby! Kevin has all these real-life experiences and this extraordinary gift of wisdom from God. Ceri is the same, but he brings his God and Bible expertise. It blows my mind how deep he is with this knowledge of God. My strength is my closeness to God and how I experience His intimate and deep Presence. Ceri explained that God strategically places people in our lives out of His deep and unconditional love for us all. I do not doubt that now that God Himself has put us three together to hopefully inspire you not to miss out on a life close to Him.
Exactly August 10, 2022, your girl here was not in a good place, and I was weak and struggling, and I shamelessly formed a WhatsApp group with Kevin, Ceri, and my other brother, Jason thinking I needed to tap into their strength. Thank God I did that (never be embarrassed to ask for help!) The group is now up to 12 of us! All angels that God again has strategically and loving placed in my life! Thanks, my support team!
I honestly cried happy tears this morning thinking about Kevin and how he has lovingly held my hand and supported me for about four years now (God’s love in action!). Yesterday we had another one of our sacred conversations, and I was thanking him that I was exactly where I was supposed to be at that moment – at work with my husband, loving and supporting him. I told hubby yesterday, “Right or wrong, I’m sticking with you all the way, my boo!” Kevin’s advice got me here:
“Neeks, you’re like a boxer right now. You will take 10,000 punches, but eventually, you will become numb.” I told him today that I am as numb as steel! Nothing can hurt me at this point!
“Neeks, you’re going to have to be patient right now.” While being patient, God has lovingly changed my perspective as Ceri correctly explained that God does. He may not change our situations, but He would change our perspective on the situations so that we can still be happy despite what may be happening around us. I’m thanking and praising God now! Things may not be how I want them, but I’m thanking God because they could also be so much worse!!!
“Neeks, every day you can reinvent yourself!” I’ve changed that to every moment we can reinvent ourselves! Yesterday I wanted to do something silly, but God corrected me in my spirit – You will do no such thing, Ms. Nikki! God had one sticker on a car deliver a message to me: LET LOVE LEAD. I instantly reinvented myself in that moment, deciding not to let the devil and the crazy lady direct me but to always look to God and what would make Him happy.
Neeks, you focus too much on this husband to the point you neglect your kids (Ouch!). I needed the correction!
Neeks, make God your top priority! Honestly, the closeness I feel with God is off the charts. After telling a staff that he should name his son Emmanuel because it meant “God with us,” Fast forward about two hours later or so, I’m sitting having dinner with my husband and sons (all three of them are named Emmanuel), and I ran to get my phone so we could have an appointment with God. I asked Joshie for a date to read, but I ended up accidentally clicking on the wrong date next to it, and look what showed up in this 365-day devotional:
“They will call him Immanuel” – which means “God with us (Wink! Wink!).” – Matthew 1:23
That was another of my God winks with God Himself revealing His Presence with us at that table. No ordinary coincidence! Again, His deep love for me and my family! (ANOTHER SMILE)
I say all that to say don’t miss out on the best life with God! He is with us and for us and by our side. We can tap into His love, perspective, strength, wisdom, tact, approval, charisma, joy, and courage at every moment. Say the prayer I said about 15 years ago, ‘God, I want a closer walk with You!’
