THIS IS VERY HARD Being obedient to God is not easy, let me tell ya!!! He takes us on some complicated paths full of hurts, dilemmas, disappointments, frustrations, challenges, sadness, pain, and lots of suffering.

“I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOUR AGENDA IS”
Was a comment I got today! My response was, “Very simple: to be the best wife, mom, and person possible, all for God’s glory. Nothing more, nothing less.” And let me tell ya, that right there is the secret to living a successful life. With every decision seeking to please God, He loving guides us …
“NIKKI, WHAT ARE YOU EATING???”
This was my hubby SCREAMING at his FAT wife from across the room at a party some years ago. Can you believe this was one of those life-changing moments when I decided to work on myself seriously? The then overweight, insecure, overly emotional, unhappy, and unhealthy Nik, used this HUMILIATION as fuel to become BETTER. …
“MOMMY, WHY DID DADDY MAKE YOU CRY?”

Honestly, we wanted to …
“I’M NOT COMING WITH YOU!!!” (REPOST)
That was me to a very persistent person a short while ago. And I thought I was the persistent one! LOL! We had a great time hanging out on my bleisure (business/leisure) time here in Florida away from hubby and the kids. And even though I’m far from them, I feel so amazing that God …
“I WANT TO JOIN YOU!!!”
I excitedly told a friend concerning fasting for Ramadan. That ONE decision has changed my life DRAMATICALLY, and I astonishingly see God’s hands ALL over it! As I was running out to an event at my kids’ school, the zipper on my dress popped open. Aye Carumba! I had to rush and quickly put together …
MARRY HIM! MARRY HIM! MARRY HIM!
That was the Holy Spirit (God’s voice within me) giving me some pretty awesome advice. I had only known my then to be husband for one week when I gave him a book with this written inside:“I know and I know and I know we were meant to be together and we’ll be the world’s …
I’VE SPENT TWO DAYS COMPLETELY AGITATED I’VE SPENT TWO DAYS COMPLETELY AGITATED That’s how it be sometimes, my peeps! Not every day is all jolly jolly, but I’ve come through those days a new person: KNOWING my God is with me. It’s no more ”as if” God is real; It’s GOD IS REAL and His …
