There is a song that’s always playing on the radio, ‘Easy On Me,’ by Adele. And I always tell God I don’t want Him to go easy on me because I want to be His top soldier, learning all the difficult lessons He would have me to know so that I can come here as …

“DON’T FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT.” THAT’S GARBAGE ADVICE”
I disagreed with this Facebook post yesterday because let me tell ya, it’s wisdom sometimes to put on a fake smile and keep it moving. I told them how I could be boiling angry inside, but I’ve learned to put on a poker face and keep my emotions in check. Even yesterday, I had my …

“I ASSURE YOU, I WILL HELP YOU!!!”
That’s God’s promise to me in this verse that has carried me through so many challenges: “Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, BE ASSURED I WILL HELP YOU; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right …
“I’M VERY HUMILIATED OVER THIS”
That was me to my daughter, Julie, this morning, as we started working on a project together. I’m embarrassed that my daughters are seeing a not too pretty side of their mom, but I explained to Julie that despite all my weaknesses, failures, and mistakes, God continually tells me that He is pleased with me …
A GREAT WEEKEND WITH MY BROTHER, JASON
Like God wanted us to spend some time together and I thoroughly enjoyed it! So funny that Jason is trying to convince me to be more like him (business-minded) and I’m trying to convince him to be more like me (God and family-focused). But in trying to explain my values to him, I realize how …
PLEASE DON’T MENTION THAT AGAIN!!!
That was me to my daughter, Julie, after she jumped to fight for her sister’s rights to transfer from the university she is currently attending. I explained to her it was the same situation when everyone in the family turned against me when I wanted her to leave high school early and begin college. I’m …
THIS IS THE CLOSEST I’VE EVER FELT TO GOD
(HUGE SMILE) He has been showing up, showing up and showing up for me! Like today, I woke up late after having to go and pick up my son, Emmie, at 4 am from school. Still needing to go to work, I asked my daughter, Ember, to ask Siri on her Apple phone whether or …

“THE AWARENESS OF GOD’S PRESENCE IS WHAT GIVES YOU THE COURAGE TO KEEP GOING”
This statement from Dr. Charles Stanley yesterday blew me away when I was very low on courage. As usual, God has been sweetly revealing His invisible Presence so strongly with me. What you may call a coincidence, I call a God wink with Him saying, ‘Nik, have no fear, I am here!’ (HUGE SMILE) Like …

BACK TO CRYING HAPPY TEARS
That was me this morning returning home from my God tree and meeting my two beautiful daughters sitting at our dining room table working together to help me with some vital family hustle work. I was blown away by God’s kindness to my family and me. I told you guys that God has this verse …
GOD SHOWERS ME WITH ALL HIS ATTENTION
That’s my testimony, baby! Yesterday this was the header of my blog (a quote from Dr. Charles Stanley that I love): “THE AWARENESS OF GOD’S PRESENCE IS WHAT GIVES YOU THE COURAGE TO KEEP GOING” Can you believe God went to the trouble to confirm that His Presence is truly with me? I sat in …
