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. Many times I’ve said to Him, ‘God, I don’t want to hear from you!’ I want to turn into the …

“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 …
“YOU PRESENTED HIM AS A HORRIBLE PERSON…”
“…You don’t even seem to realize you did this. Nobody is going to admire a man who insults his wife at a party. If you want people to admire your husband, you need to tell a different story about him.” I LOVE THIS COMMENT because I’m going to use it to be very REAL with …

“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?”
That was the crucial question one of these beautiful daughters asked me years ago after I had an emotional breakdown in front of them when my husband fussed me out about my weight one Sunday I will never forget. That was my wake up call. Nik, are you going to let your daughters see you …
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 …
DO YOU MIND IF I TALK TO YOU?
Just to tell you about this incredible love I’ve found in having a relationship with God. He is intimately involved in every aspect of our lives, and if you want the BEST life possible, you MUST get to know Him better. Take for example my family’s recent summer trip to London. Honestly, we wanted to …
GOD FREAKS ME OUT, AGAIN! So today, I’m thinking about how God changes all my BAD stuff to such GOOD. Like, I would RUN to Him complaining about my little life drama’s, ‘God, why me?!?’ He must laugh at me a lot because afterward, I’m then THANKING Him for the experiences! Go figure! Even with …
“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 …
