THE GOD PERSPECTIVE CHANGES EVERYTHING This morning, I went out for my run with tears in my eyes but came back feeling like the most BLESSED person in the world. Here’s what happened under my God tree, when at 27 minutes past the hour, I picked page 27 to read on our family’s website, werollwithgod.com: …
“LIFE’S GOOD SO I’M LIVIN’ GREAT” Those were the lyrics from Juice WRLD & benny that got me all excited on my God run today! That’s my time to hash out with Him what He would have me write about, and I was just thinking of the words “LIVE GREATNESS” printed on the shirts of …
“ONEKA, ARE YOU ALRIGHT? I DIDN’T HEAR FROM YOU TODAY” That was the WhatsApp voice message my “Sama” sister/mama, Kelly, left me yesterday. I called her to say that the baboon is working hard these days because I AM KNOWN TO BE VERY LAZY AND PROCRSAITNATE TOO MUCH. So, even though, I had lots on …
“SHOULD I TAKE MY SONS TO WORK WITH ME EVERY SATURDAY?” That’s the question I’ve been asking everyone like a crazy lady. I don’t want to be too hard nor too soft. Like Mike, our customer/friend, told me, “Nik, you’re raising men.” Even my husband is against me taking them EVERY week, but I look …

“WERE YOU THINKING HE WAS WITH HIS OTHER FAMILY IN NIGERIA? THAT’S WHY HE WASN’T CHECKING ON YOU?” I just read this comment on Facebook after sharing that I was a little hurt when I didn’t hear from my hubby one evening. He is in Nigeria, and I’m in the US, and of course, the …
HUBBY DIDN’T CALL TO CHECK IN ON ME!!! And it turned out to be such a beautiful thing! So yes, I was a bit disappointed not hearing from him now that he is back in Nigeria and I’m in the US. But God showed up! After feeling sad about it all the following morning, I …
GOD HAD ME CRYING ALL MORNING My daughter, Ember, was supposed to pick up some stuff at a nearby Audi dealership yesterday. However, we both forgot! This morning, I felt God in my spirit saying, ‘Nik, you go!’ Immediately I saw the building, the happy tears started coming. I didn’t remember that this was the …
