GOD’S GOT OUR BACK That’s how He makes me feel with His constant love and attention, SPECIFICALLY towards me. Point in case: “Nikki, what’s going on?” was my hubby calling me from Nigeria yesterday. I had just gotten off a very upsetting call and I was very surprised to see him calling me minutes later. So, I’m …

“DON’T GET DISTRACTED” That was some excellent advice to me and the girls yesterday from our neighbor who invited us to church with her. On the drive there, I asked her about a little disagreement the girls and I were having about a football game that I said no to them going. She said the US is a …
“I’M REALLY FEELING LIKE A LOSER THESE DAYS”
That was me to my daughter, Julie, before sleeping last night. Everything I said I was going to do, I haven’t done. I just laze out watching TV! I’m so pitiful! Five minutes after feeling like a total bum, God spoke to me through my meditation book: “Even when you feel good for nothing, give …

“YOU CLAIM TO BE A PERSON OF GOD, BUT YOU DON’T ACT LIKE IT.” That was the harsh criticism I got yesterday! But luckily, I had just read this in an appointment with God: “Who is anything beside the infinitely great God? And you… you are nothing but wretchedness.” That’s me, all day long – …
IN MY WEAKEST TIMES, GOD IS ALWAYS THERE
He makes me feel like the most loved person in the world with all the attention I receive from Him. Yesterday I felt extremely weak and fatigued and I pretty much dragged through the entire day like that. Even the large café con leche (coffee with milk) with extra coffee didn’t do anything for me. …
PERSPECTIVE IS EVERYTHING! And I’m importantly living from the perspective of KNOWING God is with me. I can relax and trust He’s working behind the scenes of my life on everything that is concerning me. This God factor changes everything. I no longer have to figure out how to resolve situations on my own, I …
“ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT ME DRIVING?” That was my daughter, Ember, yesterday as she drove us somewhere. I said, “No, I remember what God said to us when we were debating whether or not to leave Nigeria in our kids’ devotional: “No matter where you go, God will be with you.” That right there, KNOWING …
“THE GOD FACTOR IS YOUR GUARANTEE OF SUCCESS!” That’s the message from the calendar (Mottos for Success) that God speaks to me through all the time! I so believe this! In every aspect of my life, He has been there for me, helping and guiding me through anything that may come my way with His INFINITE wisdom. …
WHAT’S STOPPING YOU FROM BEING HAPPY? That’s the important question I have for us today! I know this transition from Nigeria to Florida has had me on a roller coaster of happy and sad (happy to be here for the girls, but seriously missing the boys and my hubby), but like I always write about …
THE UNITED STATES IS WORKING ME TOO HARD
I’m seriously missing my very comfortable life in Nigeria right now! But like my daughter told me, “Mom, you’re on a mission!” And I’ve happily accepted my assignment from God, realizing this is a sacrifice for Him – Everything is between God and us not between us and anyone else – FOR REAL, FOR REAL!!! …
