“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 …
‘GOD, I NEED YOU’ That was my prayer to Him yesterday when I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and overburdened. Can you believe He figured out a sweet way to let me know that His Presence is always with me. I was so thrilled that my daughter, Ember, joined me on my morning run. The …
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 …

“STILL FIGHTING MY DEMONS” That was my WhatsApp message to my siblings yesterday. To become better, we must address our weaknesses, and I know I have some evil demons within me that are always trying to get the best of me, but I’m fighting them. They go as far as waking me up in the …
ANOTHER RUN IN THE RAIN!!! (REPOST) Let me tell ya, these alone times with God are what keep your girl here at peace, calm, relaxed, and happy KNOWING I’M NOT GOING THROUGH LIFE ALONE. I go and touch the last of the 47 trees God had perfectly lined up for me after my 47th birthday, …
‘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 …
‘GOD THIS IS HARD!!!’ (REPOST) That has been me to God a lot lately. But God has such a great sense of humor because, in one of my appointments with Him, He took me back to this old post from January when I sent this text to my daughters after running for two and a …
