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 …
“WE’RE ALL IN THIS HUMAN THING TOGETHER”
I’ve been feeling a little guilty about my last post about the lady who twisted around some stuff I shared with her to cause trouble for me. Who am I to judge anyone? We’re all sinners, which means we constantly miss the mark and mess up. Today I want to encourage us to pray for …
“THE BATTLE IS NOT OURS, IT’S GOD’S”
Was a comment I loved yesterday. I hope you’re getting this important message that God is our Partner in every aspect of our lives. I got a chance on Saturday to have some time with a 22-year-old young lady who reads my blog posts and she made me so happy. As she fought to hold …
“THE WORLD ABOUNDS WITH NEGATIVE THINGS”
Ain’t that the truth! From one to the next, it seems as if negativity can come at us from every direction. Here’s the trick: WE MUST KEEP OUR EYES FIXED ON GOD That’s the super big challenge of our lives. No matter the negativity that comes our way, we have to pause and ask God, …
“FORGET CONFIDENCE, I’M TALKING GODFIDENCE”
I said to someone yesterday. It was a challenge that came up where once again God proved He’s my faithful Helper and Partner. I did what I always write about. I paid attention to my feelings/gut/spirit/intuition as to what God would have me to do. Ideas came to mind and I followed the ones I …

“I WANT TO REMEMBER GOD EVERY MOMENT”
I said to a friend yesterday. We joked how we can have an appointment with God one minute and feel so strong and motivated, then the moment it’s over, the negativity of the world can come at us and pull us right back down again. I truly can understand why depression rates are increasing, because …
“GET YOUR FIGHT ON”
Was my advice to a friend who called me early this morning to check up on me. I know she’s been missing my calls fussing her out to not be so laid back about a situation she’s dealing with. In this life you will have trouble! Don’t expect everything to be all rosy and wonderful …
