“I’M GOING TO LAY UNDER THE TREE AS YOU GUYS’ CHRISTMAS GIFT!” (REPOST)
That was my joke to my family that they didn’t find at all funny! Ember asked if I came with a receipt so that she could return me. Haha! But this year has taught me that it’s not what’s under the tree, it’s more important as to who surrounds the tree. And being here surrounded by my family has been a huge blessing. Everyone healthy, happy, and together. To God be the glory!
“Wealth Cannot Buy Happiness,” was the title of a Bible passage I just randomly selected and I’m taking it as a huge God wink at us all. Loving relationships, fulfillment, good health, peace of mind, joy, God’s protection, favor, guidance, and wisdom are what I want us shooting for, looking to God in every moment as to what He would have us to do.
I loved a conversation with my brother, Kevin, yesterday. He gave great advice, as usual, encouraging me to PAUSE before saying, or doing anything. He wants me working on being WISER and that means looking to God more asking what He would have me do seeking to be more loving, forgiving, peaceful, excellent, gentle, yet brave, courageous, and strong.
God gives me so much courage! I love a wink from Him today when I encouraged my daughter, Julie, in a pep talk saying we MUST learn to LEAN on God. I explained to her that people are weak, struggling with their own demons and if you lean too much on them, they can easily disappoint you. I said, “I want you working hard to stand strong on your own, LEANING ON GOD, holding others in their proper perspective. Fast forward to 20 minutes later, before beginning my run, I needed an appointment with God (life gets rough!) and this surprisingly showed up from where I had last continued reading from:
“LEARN TO LEAN ON ME (GOD) more and more.” Wink! Wink!
That again lined up too perfectly to be some ordinary coincidence; It was God revealing His invisible Presence with me and my daughter. ‘Nik, I’m always with you!’ He seems to lovingly say. And I want us all LEANING on God more than ever. Pausing and going to Him in every moment seeking His wisdom, love, and strength to get through any situation that comes our way. Heehaw!

“AIN’T WORRIED ABOUT NOTHING, MAN!” (REPOST)
God has this way of turning all my bad into such good! Like 2020 was looking like my worst year until I said I’m going to flip the script and turn it into my best year by using it as an opportunity to get closer to God. That plan was a huge success! I’m His girl now, first and foremost, and I’m going to Him more than ever, seeking His perspective on every situation, every circumstance, every conversation, every thought, and every action seeking to please and glorify Him (NOT ALWAYS EASY, BUT I KEEP AT IT!).
I refer to 2020 as the year of a million falls, but with every one of those falls, I went running to God like a little cry baby, and HE WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME. He would figure out some way for me to pick up some tiny glimmer of His invisible Presence with me. That meant lots of running to my meditation books and werollwithgod.com begging to hear from Him. He would always lovingly appear. It could just be one word, but I’ll know it was Him, like in this old post:
“I’m acquiring the beautiful habit of always being with God, and I’m enjoying Him. Yesterday, we had a situation with a vehicle that was “SWERVING” to the right when you drive it. After test driving it for myself, we called a shop to take it to for repairs. Right after talking to the shop, another issue came up with a customer who purchased a vehicle from us last week and the bank that’s financing her. I thought, ‘God, what is this?’ and I rushed to read my meditation book to hear from Him. This verse showed up:
“Let us hold UNSWERVINGLY (WINK! WINK!) to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.” – Hebrews 10:23
Did you catch that God wink? The vehicle was SWERVING, and the verse said let us hold UNSWERVINGLY (meaning not changing or becoming weaker; steady or constant) to the hope we profess. Call me crazy, but that was God’s way of having some fun with me and His way of letting me know everything would be fine with that customer and the bank. And it was. Our God is faithful!”
So, I want you here with me, coming closer and closer to God. It’s a prayer I said over thirteen years ago, asking God for a closer walk with Him, and He hasn’t disappointed me. He gives me so much more than I can ever ask or expect. Challenges come up, and He is right there to stand with me as if asking, ‘Who is messing with my Nik!’ I know without a doubt that He is the one fighting for me and MAKING MY DREAMS COME TRUE! Can’t beat that! MY HOPE REMAINS IN GOD!
Will you say this prayer with me, ‘God, I want a closer walk with You?’ and then start paying attention to glimmers of His Presence that can show up virtually anywhere and His nudges and cues in your spirit as to what He would have you to do. It’s a practical experience of learning His voice. Please check out our family’s website werollwithgod.com to learn all about rolling with God on the daily!

WOW! WOW! WOW!
‘Before you call your husband, have an appointment with God first!’ was what I thought to myself. The last time we spoke, it didn’t end too well, and I wanted to call him from a much gentler and softer place. It was 18 minutes past the hour, and so I went to page 18 of our family’s website, and the perfect reminder showed up in this old post:
“DON’T TRY TO BE GOD, BE GOD’S ANGEL”
Are the words from my brother, Kevin, that I can’t seem to get out of my head this beautiful Sunday. This is where I believe God is calling us all – to be His angels in the world. God, I’m in! That means not being so hard on myself or on others. To see the good, their innocence, and what people are capable of becoming. Not on the past failures, fallings, and mistakes. To forgive endlessly with the hope that better days are ahead, by God’s grace. To be kinder and gentler with our words (holding some back when necessary) and focused on building others up, not tearing them down.”
Right after reading that first paragraph, my husband surprisingly calls me from Nigeria, and a much softer Nik showed up asking him, “How’s our Big Daddy doin’?” He was bragging about some car parts our daughter, Ember, had ordered for him from the US and were shipped there to him. I then told him about a conversation I had with her late the night before. I said there was a verse that showed up in an appointment with God saying that we should strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back.
Hubby then got a phone call that he had to rush and take. So, I continued with my appointment with God reading that same post from page 18. Look what incredibly showed up there:
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.” Wink! Wink!
I’m talking about the very verse (Hebrew 12:1) that showed up the night before for Ember and me! And just like that, God revealed His invisible Presence that is always with us. It was another God wink where, out of the blue, everything lined up extremely toooooo perfect to be considered some ordinary coincidence.
Ember actually came into my bedroom extremely late to discuss a decision she made. I asked her if she got God involved before making that choice. She said she had, and I then said, “Let’s see what God has to say to us reading my book.” It was 11:22 pm so I thought to read page 22. She said, however, that we should see what day November 22 is, and let’s read that day instead. That turned out to be the 326th day of the year, so we read Day 326. When this verse showed up, she felt it was God confirming she needed to strip away something that she felt was holding her back. That’s my very wise daughter, guys!
So, for Ember and I to go through all of that trouble for our appointment with God late last night and for this verse to show up, to me to tell my husband about this very verse first thing this morning, and for it to show up less than a minute after our conversation, was all God showing us His deep love and involvement in our lives. No coincidence!
It doesn’t get better than this, guys! Knowing God Himself is walking through life with you and that He is intimately involved in every single moment. From essential discussions with your children, to how to deal with a sometimes difficult spouse (SMILE), God is there to help.
In fact, yesterday, Coach Andy asked me on my run, “What is your song of the day?” I thought, ‘Leave The Door Open’ by Bruno Mars as I imagine God singing it to me, saying that He is leaving His door open, meaning His love, wisdom, approval, help, and guidance is always. I then hop in the car to take my sons to work with me, and amazingly my son, Joshie, of all songs on the world, is singing this very one to himself. No doubt, another God wink! Then all day long, I kept hearing it play on my fav radio station, 96.5, Miami’s Party Station. God’s love! By the way, He is leaving the door open for you, too! Wink! Wink!
That’s been the message of my last two YouTube videos that I didn’t get to write about recently. I’m feeling like God’s little superhero and anything that I can do to please Him, I’m with Jesus saying, ‘Not my will God, let Your will be done in my life.’ When I’m weak, God’s strength comes lovingly through. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Amen!
God EXCEEDS my expectations in every aspect of my life, and it’s my honor to live my life pleasing to Him. The last few days have just been Him and me, with Him constantly revealing glimpses of His Presence with me, and I’ve been asking myself:
“Can there be anything more wonderful than going through life with God as your Companion? …No greater happiness than to be in a continual reunion with the Diety (God).” – Yes, Father
I’ve made God my life Partner, and I want you to do the same. Know that He is with you in every quarter of a second, guiding you with His love and wisdom. His invisible Presence is always with us. I loved an appointment with Him yesterday:
“Hide all your ugliness in My heart. It’s a hospital, you know, and doesn’t one sometimes come out of a hospital cured? Trust in Me with all your heart since I am your great friend. You remember the keynote for the year, ‘Hope in Me.’ My help never comes to an end, and I never cease to watch over you. I am infinite and I am love. So lose yourself in Me, trusting Me to guide you. Be the little blind child who skips joyously because he is holding someone’s hand. Oh learn to be joyous since you are Mine and open your heart to everything you lack. You don’t ask. Above all, don’t be afraid of wearying or annoying Me. What could you lack when you live in His friendship?” – He and I
“YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY MADE IT THROUGH THESE CHALLENGES…
…into this beautiful new person, and now you can finally breathe. This is going to be the time of reaping rewards.” That was the message from Stargirl, a YouTuber who gives me clear messages from God. Last year was the hardest year of my life (no joke!), but I’ve successfully made it to the other side with some important lessons to share with you that Stargirl wonderfully brought to my attention:
▪ “You did not let those challenges turn you bitter.”_ Thank God for Joel Osteen, who sent me an email saying I should not let bitterness take root. This was great advice! Instead of becoming bitter, your girl worked on becoming better, focusing on upping my discipline game. And instead of running to food for comfort, I ran to God! Coming through as God’s fav girl, LIVING CLOSE TO HIS HEART.
▪ “You don’t let your emotions take over your action. You are learning to control your emotions. You are more calculative as opposed to reactive. And this is paying off greatly for you… You are learning how to have a poker face.”_ My brother, Kevin, said to me, “Neeks, I want you to work on being wise.” For me, that meant that instead of reacting when I’m angry and turning into the crazy lady, I instead pause, go to God, and get His perspective on whatever is bothering me, asking what He would have me to do. I’ve had to calm down a lot, and even when I’m boiling angry on the inside, I put on that smiling poker face. God said to vent all my frustrations to Him, but to others, I should be silent. That’s wisdom!
▪ “You can get through anything. You were given bravery, courage, and leadership.” Wow! Last year took a lot of courage to get through it, but God was with me every little step of the way. In every difficult moment that I would go running to Him, He would always figure out some way to let me know that His Presence was there. We even had a little code word “HUG” as my reminder that I’m going through life wrapped in His arms. God Himself blesses and keeps me!!!
Have you given your heart to God? He finds the sweetest ways to let me know He is with me, like this video from Stargirl was no coincidence, it was all Him. That’s why it’s such an honor to share with you this relationship I’ve developed with God. He is with us in our lowest and challenging moments as well as our happy, top-of-the-mountain moments. I want the whole world to feel this closeness that I experience with Him. Will you give your heart to Him? I promise, He won’t let you go, and He makes us better in the process!!! Wink! Wink!
Oh my goodness! I’ve told you guys about YouTuber Stargirl, who God speaks clearly to me through her psychic readings. Like she just confirms specific things I feel God is trying to say to me. As I sat down today to write notes of her latest videos, though, I got extremely distracted by so many things going on in my life at the moment. I stopped to make some crucial calls, and before getting back to writing the notes, I thought to have an appointment with God on our family’s website. I saw the number three on my phone and decided to go to page 3, and look what incredibly showed up at the very top:
“I CAN’T GET OVER GOD!
The way He finds ways to speak DIRECTLY to me. I was reading to a friend yesterday SOME OF THE NOTES THAT I WROTE DOWN FROM THE YOUTUBER, STARGIRL, who perfectly articulated precisely what God has been putting me through lately to teach me some crucial life lessons that I can pass on to you guys.”
Wow! For this to show up was just God again revealing His invisible Presence with me as if saying, ‘Nik, I’m always with you.’ No coincidence! That’s the love I’m experiencing from Him, y’all, that He will find these sweet ways to let me know that I am never alone and that I can go through life filled with peace and joy knowing there is never a moment that God is not with me. For me to just look at that phone and just see the number three and say let me go to page 3 and see I wrote about notes from Stargirl as I sit next to notes again from her was God reminding me that He is familiar with all my ways. ‘Nik, I see you, and I’m right here with you.’
I’m forever praying for a closer walk with God, and God is seriously delivering on that prayer. This is the closest I’ve ever felt to Him. In fact, someone teased me that Jesus will soon pop in and make a personal appearance with them, too, feeling God’s Presence so strongly with us. Nothing better than this, guys! Knowing that you have the Creator of the universe by your side in every moment. Don’t miss out! Ask Him for a closer walk with you!
Off to clean my house after Stargirl said that immediately God told her to tell me that my home needs some cleaning and organizing. God knows everything!!! Oh my goodness, AGAIN, she is spot on! My life is a mess now, but God is my strength as I keep my eyes fixed on Him as I calmly work with Him to get everything back on track. Amen!

GOD IS FREAKING ME OUT!!!
Wow! He is just showing up, showing up, and showing up for me. All I can say is, “WOW!!!” Like yesterday, my manager called me to say that he has started putting all our potential customers he had lined up on a board we have in the office. I told him that I had learned this from someone who worked with us who talked about a particular book all the time, but my mind went completely blank, and I couldn’t remember the name. Five minutes later, I’m talking to a friend, and I wanted a quiet place to chat, so I went into my daughter’s room. Can you believe the same book I couldn’t remember the name of was on the floor there? It’s called The Secret, and it’s about the LAW OF ATTRACTION. No doubt whatsoever that the book was planted there for me by God as another glimmer of His invisible Presence that is always with me.
But the God wink didn’t stop there. There was a customer that wanted to buy a car, and we arranged for it to go to a mechanic shop. I needed to rush out, but my sweetie daughter wasn’t feeling well. I quickly got her some medicine and took it back home to her, and quickly went to the office to get the car to take to the repair shop, but by the time I got there, he said it was too late. I then took it to another mechanic. After dropping off the car and walking back to our office, on the very next property was someone wearing a shirt with New York City on it. I asked him if I could take a picture of it to show my daughter who wants to go to university there. He then amazingly starts raving on and on about the very book the Secret and the LAW OF ATTRACTION. I pulled the book out of my bag to show him. I told him how I had it to give my manager to read because us putting our intention to sell specific vehicles on that board is really working. He is a total fan of the book, and he excitedly told me how that book was what helped him to understand the Bible. Sweet!
So, tell me, how could all of this be considered some coincidence? From my manager calling me and saying he started back putting the customers on the board, to me not being able to remember the name of the book but to find it on the floor minutes later. To me going to one mechanic shop and having to go to another one, only to walk into this man who starts excitedly telling me about this book that I had a copy of in my purse. It was all orchestrated by God to let me and you know that He is intimately involved in our lives. We are never alone, not even for a nanosecond.
I believe He is showing up so strongly for me because He wants to remove fear. His perfect love replaces fear in us when we learn to trust Him with all our hearts. A tiny spark of God can keep growing and growing until we become full of Him knowing, He is always with us, for us, and on our side. God, may 2021 bring us all closer to You. Amen.
