.., I work for food, shelter, and clothing!” I said to my hubby last night! Many years ago, I felt God saying to me if my marriage was to last, I needed to end all arguments about money. So, whatever, my hubby decides, I pretty much go along with him for peace sake. And believe …

WHAT’S THE BIGGEST LESSON YOU’VE LEARNED FROM AN ENEMY?
I asked my family at our Christmas Day Brunch recently. Julie said she had learned from a girl at school who’s always very insulting to her friends to be NICE. I said I had learned that what others think and say about me is really NONE of my business. And our eleven-year-old son, Emmie, surprised …

“I’M JUST TRYING TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE”
That was me to my daughters yesterday! I turned into crazy mom to get them to clean their rooms and study. “It’s about having discipline!” is what I told them. And you don’t go far in life without discipline! The hardest thing we have to do is to conquer ourselves and be the people we …
“HE’S BEEN OUR GOD WINK”
I said to my hubby, talking about a customer he had to visit early this morning. This person showed up in our life years ago and I’ve never met anyone like him – extremely humble, loyal, faithful, wise and close to God. We had a little get together at our house to celebrate Joshie’s birthday …
“LET US USE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRUST GOD MORE”
I said to my friend, Danny, last night. She lives in the Bahamas and I’m in Nigeria, but God figured out a way to connect us over a year ago and looking back from where I was when I first connected with her, to the person she has helped me to become, all I can …

“SOMETIMES YOU TAKE TWO OR THREE STEPS BACKWARDS”
Was my very surprising God wink yesterday! I tried downloading the latest RobCast by Rob Bell on iTunes, when for some reason it refused to download and the last episode I started listening to maybe a week or so ago kept playing instead. When these glitches happen now, I pay attention because they usually mean …

CAN I BOAST ON THE LORD TODAY?
I attended a parent/teacher coffee morning at the kids’ school and I bragged to everyone on our well my daughters, Ember and Julie, are doing. I said, “They’re not my daughters anymore, they’re my Harvard girls!” This story began back in October of last year, when their former Principal decided to recognize the top performers …
DOES LIFE HAVE YOU DEPRESSED?
Talking to a friend yesterday, I realized how much I’ve grown up over the past year or so. I was having a terrible day and I went crying to her. I said, “That sad, weak, insecure, emotional, Nikki, is gone!” I’ve replaced her with a confident, strong, stable, full of joy, steady and calm Nikki. …
“BUT THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!”
I loved this from my friend, Lisa, who I wrote about yesterday. Honestly, I’m in Nigeria, but God had me to contact her in Florida to remind her about her appointments with Him. The first day I contacted her I wrote in an email, “Don’t know why you came to mind today!” but after reading …
“THINGS ARE CRAZY, BUT I CAN’T COMPLAIN”
This was a message from a friend, Lisa, yesterday. I met her in Starbucks years ago when they strangely told me I had to wait to get my coffee. Then the next thing I knew, Lisa showed up waiting in line behind me. This was definitely one of those God planned meetings. She wanted the …
