THIS A WHOLE LOTTA LOVE; AIN’T TRYING TO WASTE IT

That’s how I’m feeling about God right now! I went out on an extra long run with Him today, and He didn’t disappoint. He showed up. As I played the song, ‘RACKS in the Middle,’ I turned a bend, there was a truck with the word “RACK” directly in front of me. And that right there was one of my God winks where everything lines up a little bit too perfectly to be some ordinary occurrence (coincident), it was God’s sweet way of saying, ‘Nik, my invisible Presence is always with you.’ There was no way that out of all the songs in the world, I just happened to be listening to this specific one while jogging pass that truck – all God orchestrated for His girl over here to show me His deep love.

This love is too good for me to keep it to myself, y’all! Are you feeling it? My son, Joshie, has been calling me a lot from Nigeria and I’ve been taking advantage of these sacred times to have appointments with God with him. And the one we had yesterday asked, “What do you have that you haven’t received from God?” Nothing. This son who I get to love up is a gift from Him, as well as the rest of my family. To be able to go out and run today was another gift. Many people didn’t make it to see this day. I’m not taking anything for granted! I’m sucking up God’s love!

I read an email from Joel Osteen about being content in any and every circumstance. Not just enduring, but enjoying. I took it as another wink from God that He wants me ENJOYING my life with Him. Ok, Boss! That goes for us all! Let’s be content, rejoicing always in whatever situations we find ourselves with our eyes ever towards the Lord, sucking up His love and seeking His guidance for our lives. Amen.

I’VE DECIDED NOT TO DWELL ON UNPLEASANT THINGS

That’s after a great morning run with my daughter, Julie, yesterday. She was not in the running mood after not sleeping well but INSISTED on going with me. That’s my boo! So, we ended up doing a “Don’t Wanna Run” run through the Nike Run Club app, and turns out, Coach Bennet had that run designed especially for ME, not Julie. He said he wanted us to get rid of negativity and gave us two minutes to vent out all our frustrations and things we were unhappy about, and to dump them in the garbage. I started out strong, throwing all my junk that was making me unhappy. But, after like 20 to 30 seconds, I was done. I said to myself, “Really, Nik, that’s all you have to complain about? Wow, sounds like you have a pretty wonderful life to me.What a reality check! I spent the rest of those two minutes thanking God for all my blessings. Nik, you have nothing to complain about! Me and my Jewls had the best time sharing her phone listening to the same music. I returned home a new person, FILLED WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE FOR MY LIFE.

Ain’t gots no time to dwell on the unpleasant things! God has been good to me!And this is why I want to share with you all my secrets that I’ve been learning from God. Like this morning, I’m having some fun with Him saying, “Make up Your mind here!” One moment I feel through my spirit (His voice) saying that I should be deaf, dumb, and blind, then the next He says I shouldn’t, then the next I should! LOL! Now wow, God!

That’s the HOLY SPIRIT I feel always directing me, and I don’t want you missing out.From one moment to the next, the Holy Spirit within each of us gives specific instructions. What God says to you could be completely different as to what He says to me. This is why we must learn His voice for ourselves. Like yesterday, I woke up feeling very agitated, and I asked God what he had to say to me, and this showed up in one of my meditation books:“But the Spirit produces the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. There is no law that says these things are wrong.”I felt this was God saying to me in that precise moment, “Nik, Chill. Be your most loving, gentle, and patient self.” I said, “OK, Boss.” Get to know the Holy Spirit for yourself. I promise you, He will guide your life on a gorgeous path, that even when the world is going crazy all around you, you can have peace and joy knowing God got us. Amen.

DAY 9 OF MY 50 DAYS OF DISCIPLINEAgain, it was the Holy Spirit I felt nudging me, “Nik start your 50 days of discipline again.” And let me tell ya, that little nudge has been keeping me happy. Having positive things to focus on is my way of keeping the negativity out. Not that the negativity doesn’t have its place, it does. It’s just about using the negativty as fuel to be better. Which is exactly what I’ve done with my 50 days of discipline. Using the negativty life throws my way as motivation to be BETTER. Like my run everyday with God to vent my frustratios to Him is on everyday whether I feel like it or not. And I come back a new and happier version of myself! And you can do the same! Wink! Wink!“Let food be thy medicine!”

“AIN’T WORRIED ‘BOUT NOTHING, MAN”

“AIN’T WORRIED ‘BOUT NOTHING, MAN”Ain’t worried ‘bout nothing! That’s because God sees me. He figures out the most astonishing ways to show me such DEEP love and concern. He comes and sits with me. Talks to me intimately about situations that are bothering me.Like the other day, I called a friend to say thank you. I had reread an old post about a Saturday, years ago, where I just felt so hurt that I just wanted to hide under the covers and hide from the world. But I pushed myself to go out with the kids to her house and ended up opening Joel Osteen’s book and the very chapter I opened to said this:

“Don’t let bitterness take root. We all have unfair and unjust things happen to us; that’s a part of life. When we are hurt, we can choose to hold on to that pain and become bitter, or we can choose to let it go and trust God to make it up to us.”

Fast forward to this week, I needed this crucial reminder AGAIN, and I was so grateful to God for connecting me with such a positive friend. I left her house that day so happy, trusting God to make up that disappointment. Minutes after calling to thank her, I ended up reading Joel Osteen’s emailed message for the day, and unbelievably it was about this same thing:

“Life is too short to go through it with bitterness poisoning your life. If you’ll let go of the hurt they inflicted and live out of a place of forgiveness, out of a place of wholeness, you’ll not only feel better, but that’s what allows the Creator of the universe to go to work and take you higher.”

There was also a prayer there that meant so much to me:

“Help me to do good and bless those who have done me wrong. I am leaving them in Your hands and believing that You are taking me to new levels.”

Do you see how God stoops down to our level to let us know He is with us. This email was no coincident, it was a direct communication from God to me. Nikki, I see you and what you’ve been going through. Leave this matter with me and go on with your life being the happy, joyful, and at peace Nikki I created you to be. Yes, Boss! And let me tell ya, God gives me more than I can ever imagine or expect from Him that my constant prayer is simple: “God, may Your will be done.”

DAY 8 OF MY 50 DAYS OF DISCIPLINEWoohoo! So happy I got the nudge from God to get back on track with this. This time at home being quarantined is the perfect opportunity for me to work on my discipline game-physically, mentally and spiritually! I’ve set some goals for myself and though I havent stuck with all of them, I keep striving to be the Nik that God Himself would have me to be. Fall seven times, get up eight!“Let food be thy medicine!”

GOD SHOWS ME SUCH LOVE AND ATTENTION

The other day I posted one of my videos on Instagram using a filter. But, in my spirit, I didn’t feel like God wanted me using one, and I went back to remove it, and I posted and an unfiltered original. Right after that, a live feed with Justin Bieber suddenly popped up on my screen, and I freaked out like I was a teenage girl, all excited. I’m so in love with his new album, Changes, which I have been bragging to everyone that it’s my love note from God. So, during one of the conversations Justin had with one of his fans, she told him how much she liked the Acoustic version of his song Intentions. When the live feed was over, I rushed to listen, and the song incredibly begins:“Picture perfect you don’t need no filter (Wink! Wink!)
Gorgeous, make them drop dead, you’re a killer”To hear these lyrics minutes after I felt God saying to remove that filtered video was God showering me His love and attention. I played that song repeatedly, feeling like God was singing it directly to me. Woke up in the middle of the night playing it. Woke up the next morning, and played it repeatedly again for my morning’s appointment with God. Totally feeling so special.Shortly after that, I go for my run, and because my mom asked to use my phone, I grabbed my daughter Ember’s. I picked a workout from my Nike Run Club app, and the song that was first to play was incredibly this very song, Intentions. Of all the songs on the world, for this song to show up on my daughter’s phone (not even my phone!), after I felt it was God singing it to me, was no coincident. It was God revealing His invisible, sweet Presence that is ALWAYS with me.And He’s with you, too!!! I’m just the crazy God nerd who pays attention to these glimmers from Him. Notice how I paid attention to my spirit that said to take down that filtered video. God is always speaking to us, and I want us knowing His voice. Especially now more than ever. Let’s have constant conversations with God as to every move we make trusting Him to guide us safely through this storm.“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
_ will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
_ my God, in whom I trust.” – Psalm 91:1-2WEROLLWITHGOD.COM

DAY 6 OF MY 50 DAYS OF DISCIPLINEThis is really helping me, y’all! Getting my happy back from all the negative thinking. Let’s not let bitterness take root. I’ve decided to hand everything over to God allowing Him to make it up to me (which He always does!).“Let food be thy medicine!”

“WE’RE GOING TO GO THROUGH A VERY ROUGH TWO WEEKS

”That was from President Trump yesterday. Pretty scary what’s going on right now, but I’m taking this verse as my message from God to us all today when this showed up two different places for me in my appointment with Him this morning:“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]” – John 16:33 (AMP)I don’t know about you, but I’m holding on to God’s hands super tight right now. It feels like we’re on an airplane going through lots of turbulence, but I’m trusting our Captain (God) to get us safely through. That means we can be of good cheer, positive, and joyful knowing that God is GREATER than ANYTHING that can come against us.Even going into the food store is such a risk that I ask, “God, is it OK for me to go?” And then I listen. Feelings of peace are what I look for. If I feel anxious, doubt, or stressed out about going in a certain direction, that’s God saying, “No, don’t do that.” Which was me on Sunday, when I tossed around the idea of my daughters picking up some medication for my mom. I was very uneasy about it, and I felt God saying that I should go. This was after my daughters accused me of trying to kill them by sending them out! LOL!Let’s not miss out on this opportunity to make our relationship stronger with God, though. I’m back to being God’s girl, resting on His heart and making decisions from that perspective – God, what would You have me to do here? Where would You have me to go? What would You have me to say? “Every relationship. Every decision. Every circumstance.” Everything is between God and us, not between us and anyone else, and I want us living a life pleasing to Him where we honour Him in all our actions and TRUSTING that He can help us navigate through any turbulence. Amen.WEROLLWITHGOD.COM

ENJOYING THE DISCIPLINE“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”‘Nik, get back to your 50 days of discipline.’ I felt God say this to me some days ago in my spirit and I’m so grateful for this litle nudge from Him. I’m enjoying working on some goals I have included, especially in working on stopping NEGATIVE thinking. The spirit of discouragement wants to take over and I just keep reminding myself that all things are possible with God. My confidence is in Him. I think of an old appointment with Him when I was feeling good for nothing and He said that I should give my nothingness to Him. Didn’t He create the world from nothing? So I’m trusting God to take my nothing into something great, but first I have to shake off discouragement and UP my discipline game – NEGATIVE THINKING MUST GO. Constantly practicing replacing them with GREAT THOUGHTS OF GOD.“Let food be thy medicine!”
