NOBODY LIKES A WHINER (COMPLAINER) That’s me having some fun with my son, Siah, for the last 24 hours. First, it was about his finger hurting. Then he went to tell his dad about it. Then his tummy had a slight pain. Then his sandwich was not heated enough. With me just having some fun …
“SOMETIMES I DON’T MIND YOU HAVING THE WORST DAY” Were the lyrics from Justin Bieber’s song ‘Take It Out on Me,’ that I totally took as a message from God recently after I spent a day upset. The very next day in my appointment with God, these lyrics sweetly showed up from Him: “Sometimes I …

“I’M BACK TO BEING ON CHILL FOR LIFE!” That’s what I just wrote to my brother, Kevin. Months ago, he suggested that I take on this mindset, but your girl here still loses it and turns into the crazy lady. But as of this moment, I’m going in complete CHILL mode, not taking anything too …
CALL ME NIKKI SO DUMB, BUT I SAY I’M NIKKI SO SMART!!! I know a lot of what I write and talk about may seem as if I’m the silliest person in the world, but honestly, this God stuff has led my life on a very beautiful path. Let me tell ya, God’s ways are …
BE GREAT AT WHAT YOU DO; GOD IS OUR BOSS (REPOST) Yesterday I was headed out for a little get together with the kids when I went to my husband’s office to say goodbye to him before leaving. While there, he had some challenges with something important we’re working on and I had to have …
