“WEIRDEST”
That’s the word from my coffee mug that perfectly describes me! I’m pretty weird, I know, and I love it! I get to do me, being as strange as I want to be in telling you guys about this amazing love and attention I’m receiving from God.
Like on Saturday, I had the difficult job of trying to convince someone God has placed in my life to help out that they needed to go to the hospital’s emergency room. After the entire day of them refusing to go, I sat next to them on their sofa. As someone went out the door, I noticed the apartment number, “407” was my wedding anniversary, April 7. I said this to them as I sat reading articles on Google in regards to their condition and the urgency of the hospital visit. Within 10 minutes, a report on Google that I just happened to read was astonishingly also dated April 7, and I immediately knew it was a God wink, with Him revealing His invisible Presence with us there. I then felt Him saying to me to leave her for that night, and that His Spirit would be there to take care of her. I told her I’d be back to get her in the morning so that we could go then, and she amazingly agreed.
Fast forward the next day, we get to the emergency room, and I kept saying, “I get good vibes here, this feels good. They’re going to figure out what’s going wrong.” I kept saying, “I’m getting good vibes.” Then after they were settled in, I snuck out to go home for a little bit. I met my daughter in the driveway, and she complained of an issue in her car, so I took it for a quick spin. Getting back home, to turn off the car, I noticed her key for the house with the words “Good Vibes” printed on it. Again, that was God letting me know that His invisible Presence was with us.
And I know this seems weird that God would go through all this trouble to have me drive my daughter’s car (BTW, I found nothing wrong with it) just for me to see that key saying, “Good Vibes” after I kept saying it at the hospital, but that’s the love and attention I’m getting from Him. He constantly gives me signs that He’s with me and that I’m on the right track. This gives me such peace and joy knowing I’m not going through life alone, and He is with me. Are you feeling His invisible Presence with you?

TURNING ROLLING WITH GOD INTO A LIFESTYLE
That’s me, baby! In every aspect of my life, I’m continuously looking to Him for His exceptional guidance, favor, wisdom, help, and love.
Your girl is in work mode now, getting our car sales business here on track again and I’m feeling God’s Presence so intimately. Like the other day, I harassed the person embroidering our uniform shirts to please add a smiley face because whenever I see one, it’s my reminder that God’s invisible Presence is always with me. He told me he would see what he could do and get back to me. But after not hearing back from him, I go to the store (I’m annoyingly persistent!) and met with another lady and apologized for disturbing her, but that I really would like this smiley face added. She probably thought, ‘Weirdo!’ but I didn’t care, I wanted my smiley face!!!
Right after leaving her, I picked up some relatives to help take them somewhere. As I waited in the car for them, I had an appointment with God on Tumblr.com, and He clearly spoke to me there through a post. It was a conversation that morning with a friend where I said to her that my mission from God was to learn these messy love lessons and teach you guys, and a post on Tumblr confirmed it.
When my relatives got back into the car, I enthusiastically asked, “You guys want to go on an adventure with me to pick up my new phone so that I can get back to my video vlogging for God?” They said, “Sure, why not!” So, I immediately asked the GPS on my phone to direct us to the nearest Apple Store. I usually check the routes it suggests first because I don’t like too many traffic lights, preferring highways. But in the excitement of it, I didn’t, and I ended up going through lots of lights and no highway. But can you believe, after all the conversations that day about adding the smiley face to our car sales uniform shirts, we drove by this other car dealership surrounded by a bunch of smiley face flags flying super high in the air? Believe it or not, this was no coincidence. Us driving by this place was all orchestrated by God to reveal His intimate Presence with me. He picked that route from where I had to take my relatives to the Apple Store just so I could get another glimpse of His invisible Presence. No way this lined up so perfectly on it’s own. It was God saying, ‘Nik, I am with You ALWAYS.’ Wink! Wink!
I then get to the Apple store, and exactly where they sat me to transfer my info from my old phone to the new phone was a big block of letters outside incredible reading “LOVE.” Another confirmation of my mission from God-to learn about HIS love and teach you. The videos are back on, baby! TURNING ROLLING WITH GOD INTO A LIFESTYLE. Our hope is in Him!

“WHAT DO YOU SAY TO YOURSELF WHEN YOU GO NEGATIVE?
| ”Wow! What an excellent question from my Nike Running Club’s Coach Bennet on my morning run with God. Perfect question for the crazy lady over here! In fact, I’m taking this as a question from God Himself because we all can be our own worst enemies when we let these negative thoughts bring us down. Let me tell ya, God has been my GREATEST FRIEND in helping me tackle them. Here’s how:I felt a nudge from Him in one of my low, depressed, thinking too much negative thoughts period to begin again my 50 days of discipline.It’s my way of challenging myself to be BETTER in some weak areas, but I never stick completely with it. I have an important date coming up, and I thought this was precisely what I needed to gear up for it. I grabbed my phone and calculated how many days from that starting point to my big date and unbelievably it was exactly 50 days. I gave God a smile because He already knew that the 50 days would take me directly to that date. I felt it was His Spirit putting that thought in my head – Nik, start your 50 days of discipline again! No doubt whatsoever. And because I KNOW it was Him, where everything lined up too perfectly, that I’ve pretty much stuck with the discipline goals this time. Not entirely, but MOSTLY and some amazing things have happened, y’all.One of the goals was instead of spending 2 hours reading meditation books, I would spend 24 hours with God. And oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness. As I’ve seeked Him in the good and bad times, I’ve found Him.Like the other day when I was so determined to buy those dealer supplies. A complete stranger told me to meet him somewhere and the very next day another stranger showed up to buy a vehicle from us with a trade-in purchased from the EXACT place where I met the supply guy from the day before. That lined up EXTREMELY too perfect to be some random happening. It was all orchrestrated by God, revealing His invisible Presence with me – Nik, I’m with you, I’m with you, I’m with you! As I’ve seeked Him, I’ve sweetly found Him.So, when the negative thoughts want to come up, I simply remind myself that I’m rolling with the King of Kings, and He is taking excellent care of me and my family. I think back of all the times God has shown up for us, and I immediately dismiss the negative thoughts saying, “God’s taking care of this for us!’ I then do my best with whatever I feel He would have me to do on my end, and I politely, confidently, and happily turn the heavier parts over to Him. I’m going through my life lightheartedly, having fun with Him in every moment, 24/7, baby! Anything comes up, I know with Him on my side I can tackle ANYTHING. Ain’t worried ’bout nothing!WEROLLWITHGOD.COM |

| EATING GOOD AND FEELING GOODI’m loving this 50 days of discipline where I’m trying to also stay on track with my eating! I’m really feeling strong, healthy and happy! I was on that run today dancing like it was nobody’s business! However, when I cheated and had some take out food the other day, it made me sick the entire night. Lesson learnt! I’m sticking to home cooked food with lots of veggies!“Let food be thy medicine!” |
GOD IS MY WONDERFUL HELPER!
OFF FOR A RUN WITH GOD!
“NIK, YOU NEED A NEW WARDROBE”
Hehehe! That was the comment I got from a sweetie after she watched one of my videos. But as I explained to her, ‘tis the season for hard work! My new attire will be some uniform shirts with our company’s name and logo embroidered on them. Your girl here is in hustle mode, baby, and it ain’t always pretty. Yesterday that meant going between a tire and mechanic shop to prepare a vehicle for sale. And, let me tell ya, I was totally thrilled and full of joy doing so, feeling God’s Presence with me the entire time.
I’m beginning to love this challenge of getting our business back on track because it’s pushing me closer to God for His moment by moment guidance that I’m getting better at feeling through my spirit. And He lovingly finds ways to reveal glimpses of His Presence with me. Like on Friday, after being disappointed so many times by our usual supply guy, I made it a point to get what I needed, randomly calling companies through a Google search. I got in touch with a gentleman who said he couldn’t come to me, but I can meet him over by a specific place to purchase what I needed from his mobile truck. I go there, met up with him, and purchased exactly what I’ve been wanting to buy for weeks. Phew!
Fast forward to yesterday, and can you believe this customer showed up to trade in a car purchased exactly from this very specific location where I met the dealer supply guy that very day before. Off all the places this stranger had me to meet him, for this to be the dealership where this gentleman had purchased his last car from that he now wanted to trade in to us was a HUGE GOD WINK. No coincident! This was entirely orchestrated by God to let me know that His Presence is ALWAYS with me, as if saying, ‘Nik, I’m with you! I’m with You, I’m with you!’
“You seem very happy in the video,” another friend commented. I told her thanks and that I’m feeling like God’s girl – loved and approved by Him. No other love required. My alone times with God reading my meditation books, along with my morning runs, have brought me such joy and peace like no other in knowing that God is on my side, and He is my Helper in every aspect of my life. Today on that run, He whispered to me to make a crucial phone call, and I PAID ATTENTION. His sheep know His voice! Don’t mess around with your relationship with God. He is the ULTIMATE LIFE COACH, GUIDE, and HELPER! Wink! Wink! Say this prayer with me: ‘God, I want a closer walk with You! Amen!’ then make space in your life to hear from Him. As you seek Him, you will find Him.
HAVE FUN WITH IT!
That’s the message from God I felt in my spirit yesterday. Your girl here has lots on her plate right now with trying to get our business here on the right track again, but I’m not going to get overwhelmed or frustrated by it all, I’m going to ENJOY the challenge, take it one day at a time, and most importantly, TRUST GOD TO HELP ME. My hope is in Him, baby! This pic is of me and the two future CEO’s, my handsome and smart sons, Emmie and Joshie, by God’s grace! Heehaw! Momma working hard for you guys!
I loved it when my nephew, Duro, asked me something like, ‘How will you do it (get our business going), Aunty? You don’t have much you’re working with.” I told him about an appointment with God where I felt like a total loser and God said to me:
“Even when you feel good for nothing, give Me this nothing. Didn’t I create with nothing? All I ask of you is the will to give yourself to Me at all times, in cloud or sunshine.” – He and I
God, I’m ALL YOURS!!! If God can create this beautiful universe from nothing, I’m giving Him my nothing to work with – no problem! That means every day, asking, ‘God, what would You have me to do?’ and be about doing that! As I do my best in the physical realm, I’m trusting God to do what I can’t do in the spiritual realm, not going by the ordinary rules – I’m under God’s laws! I’m taking to heart what He said to me the other day in another appointment with Him:
“Discuss everything with Me. Take a lighthearted view of trouble (Nik, have fun with it!), seeing it as a challenge that you and I together can handle. Remember that I am on your side, and I have overcome the world.” Jesus Calling
Notice how these two books, Jesus Calling and He and I, are my go-to meditation books for hearing from God. What are yours? They’ve helped me significantly on my journey to a closer walk with Him. I encourage you to find any spiritual literature that resonates with you and continuously make space in your life to hear what God has to say specifically to you. I LOVE MY LIFE WITH HIM as I’m learning to enjoy His company in every moment. Yesterday, that meant singing my heart out to Him in Justin Beiber’s song, One Time:
“So We keep climbing to the mountain top. Your world is my world. And my fight is Your fight. You by my side, them troubles them not trouble me. I LOVE YOU!”
I LOVE THIS FAMILY!!!
Was a comment I got the other day referring to a post I wrote. I LOVE MY FAMILY, TOO! I always say that I want us to be a testimony to the world of a family rolling with God. But there were certain things that I questioned myself about, though. Like you guys are so messed up, how could you tell the world that you’re rolling with God. Can you believe He answered me?
I felt Him say, “That’s the testimony! You are all so imperfect, which makes it all so perfect to share with the world that I LOVE YOU DESPITE ALL THE IMPERFECTIONS. And I love how your family loves, support and encourage each other too DESPITE ALL your weaknesses and failures YOU STICK TOGETHER. Ain’t nothing perfect, Nik! Keep shining!
I call us His A-Team! I’m here with the girls in the US, and hubs is in Nigeria with the boys, and it’s a big sacrifice for our daughters. We’re in this together-one for all and all for one!
We STILL have our challenges and struggles just like everyone else, but we trust God to GUIDE and HELP US no matter what comes our way. And, honestly, He hasn’t let us down yet. The BIGGER the problems, the stronger He shows up as if saying, “Who’s messing with my people.” Those challenges have increased our faith in Him!
The other day I was feeling terrible about not being the person I felt He is calling me to be and He sweetly says, “Ask my forgiveness if you accuse yourself of any omission-not at My feet but on My heart.” It’s like He just had that message lined up waiting to tell me when I was there beating up myself to remind me of His deep love for me when I was feeling SOOOO terrible that I keep saying this is the person I want to be and I keep failing. So, for Him to reach me in that awful moment made me feel so LOVED and accepted by Him. It gave me new motivation to keep trying to become the best version of myself (slip-ups and all), all for His glory. Heaven is my audience!
In all our ways, let’s acknowledge God asking Him what He would have us to do being the loving, forgiving, going extra mile kind of people HE HIMSELF would have us to be. This is the way to the BLESSED LIFE.
