“GOD’S GRACE IN ACTION!” was my reply to a friend after she sent me a beautiful reminder about God’s grace/help in our lives! And this week was a week filled with lots of grace! It’s been a pretty rough one for me, but as I sit here, I believe it has been one of the best weeks of my life, as I was constantly reminded over and over and over again that I’m never alone and God is my incredible Helper in every area of my life! I feel overwhelmingly loved by God! Emmie, my seven year old, started racking up lots of “dots” for misbehaving in his class and just a little while ago he asked me to accompany him to his class and see all of his stars, no dots! Joshie, my four year old, who used to give me such a hard time in the mornings to get dressed for school, is now the first one going to the car in the mornings, as he too is excited about stars and wanting to become student of the month – at four years old! Ember, my 12 year old, and Duro, my 17 year old, also got the highest number of stars in their respective classes and Julie, my super responsible 10 year old, is now aiming as well to be student of the month in her class. Totally God’s grace in action! A friend called me this week when I was having a bad moment and I didn’t want to talk to her because I didn’t want any of her stinking positive advice, but she kept calling. I started crying because it was as if she knew something. She said, “Nikki, what’s wrong? You’re going to make me cry too.” And it turns out her stinking positive advice was exactly what I needed. She said, “Keep your focus on God. He can turn any situation around, just keep praying.” I told her some silly thoughts I was thinking and she said, “You’re joking right?” and those words were the reality check I needed to get back to my senses again! Another friend insisted on seeing me and she reminded me that I have so much to be thankful for because things could be so much worse. God’s grace in action, as I’m in Nigeria away from all my family, but He has placed some beautiful people in my life! Then it was the person who showed up to assist me with another issue I have going on, they gave me the perfect advice and once again I was reminded that God is indeed my incredible Helper in every aspect of my life. I just have to calm down, do my best in what I have to do and trust Him to deal with the rest! Worried about nothing, praying about everything! God, I’m grateful! WE ROLL WITH GOD!
