“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!”
