“NEEKS, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING” That statement from my extremely generous brother, Kevin, led to a beautiful, unplanned vacation in the Bahamas. He paid for my airfare and treated our 90-year-old mom and me (in the pic) to an all-expenses paid trip to the exquisite SLS Baha Mar Resort. He personally …

“CAN I ASK YOU A PERSONAL QUESTION?” That was someone calling me on a business matter. “Feel free,” I replied. They were curious as I why the last time we spoke why I was in Nigeria. I explained that my husband was Nigerian, and he asked if my husband was Muslim. “He isn’t, but he …
WHATEVER IS A CONCERN FOR ME IS A CONCERN FOR GOD That’s my testimony! Like I just got off the phone with my daughter, Ember, and her boyfriend, Mo. Honestly, nerdy momma here sent Mo this message for Valentine’s Day: “Just wanted to say thanks for being a beautiful friend and support to my daughter. …
“EVERY DAY IS VALENTINE’S DAY WITH YOU, MY BOO” That was me to my hubby, calling him from under my God tree to pray with him.

“NIKKI, GOD IS SO GOOD”
Honestly, I can’t get over these words from my husband today. He was amazed at how God arranged for us to come to Nigeria for the Christmas holiday, and how we ended up making a completely surprising decision that we are both extremely happy with. I’m the God maniac here, but for my husband to …
“FEAR NO ONE!” That was me to my husband yesterday morning after he finished a call. Fast forward like twenty minutes later, God used that very statement from me to let us know that His invisible Presence was there with us. I was praying to Him in my spirit, asking which book I should read …
“TELL THEM WE’RE BLESSED!!!” That’s the Buju Banton song I sang on the way walking/dancing back home from my God tree today. Yes, I’m back from Nigeria, running around our gorgeous neighborhood in Florida, and God didn’t disappoint in welcoming His girl back to our sacred place where I meet Him. This wink started right …
