DO I USE GOD AS A WAY OF COPING WITH MY TERRIBLE LIFE? (REPOST) I share my ups, downs, disappointments, frustrations, joyful and happy times, problems and proud moments, stresses and anxieties, weak, strong, brave and courageous moments to hopefully portray the fact that I’m going through this human experience just like everyone else, where …

“WHAT WAS THE BEST PART OF YOUR DAY?” (REPOST) That was me questioning my Emmanuels (hubby and two sons) while we ate dinner last night. I told them how I was feeling so sick (a cold), discouraged, and overwhelmed by some big balls I have in the air, when my son, Joshie, came and asked …
“I’M GOING TO LAY UNDER THE TREE AS YOU GUYS’ CHRISTMAS GIFT!” 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 …
“NOT EVERYONE IS AS STRONG AS YOU, MS. NIKKI” That was from my sweetie daughter, Julie, yesterday. I used the conversation as an opportunity to share with her some of my weaknesses (mostly depressing and negative thinking) and how I’ve found that I must be a very regimented person to tackle them. I’m talking appointments …
“GOD LOVES ME TOO TOO MUCH!!!” That was me bragging to my husband this morning after a day where God showed His invisible Presence with me THE ENTIRE DAY yesterday! Here’s how those God winks went down: The day before yesterday, I entered our showroom, and there was a couple there buying a car. I …
NO SHAME IN MY GAME (REPOST) Every day I run to the end of those 47 trees God had lined up for me in celebration of my 47th birthday, and I give that last tree a high five and say, ‘GOD, WE’RE TOGETHER. WE’RE TOGETHER. WE’RE TOGETHER.’ Like yesterday, that meant parking somewhere before getting …
“FORGET SHINING BRIGHTLY” “You can’t shine any brighter. I want you to work on being wise.” Wow! Wow! Wow! That statement from my brother, Kevin, blew me away yesterday! And that’s what I want us all working on, by God’s grace, being the WISE mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, sons, daughters, friends, relatives, employers, employees, and …
GOD JUST MADE ME CRY I got a feeling from Him to read page 38 of our family’s website, werollwithgod.com, for an appointment with Him. I had written this eight months ago: ““WISH WE WERE THERE WITH YOU GUYS” That was me to my hubby today. He and the boys are in Nigeria, and me …
‘GOD, MAY I PLEASE STOP THE BLOG FOR NOW?’ I kept asking Him earlier this year when I felt stressed, overwhelmed, depressed, and like I was on the verge of losing my mind. No joke. It was a lot. But He kept saying, ‘No, Nik, the work for Me continues.’ Every day, I did my …
“WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME?” I questioned my daughters yesterday after they called, asking if they could go for a run in a nearby park. I wasn’t expecting this response (I paraphrase here): “Mom, you were the one who kept saying, “Let’s do hard things!” You’re so brave. You’re fearless! We see you running through …
