Nik The Compassioneer 💕

“The more truth you know, the easier it is to discern a lie.” Thank you for the messages 💜 I’ve been recovering well. Just bogged with work. Grateful for God holding me to a new daily prayer journal… looking forward to when I can get back to bible reading spaces 🫶🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼

Ohhh the #WIP of “peaceful” mornings 😅😅😅 Day 3 & the bliss is officially being tested: - groggy irritability from all of us randomly having restless nights all of a sudden (despite going to bed earlier) 🤔 - lacking patience & compassion for little, growing minds (still learning to read smoothly, practicing out loud, & listeners losing their minds 😆🫠) - the mind-swirl of irrelevant frustrations & coping mechanisms of competitiveness to finish writing first 🙈 (obvi NOT ever the goal with this) 😅😮‍💨🙃 & YET.. everyone’s super pumped for the day 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ #AWinIsAWin #CountingOurBlessings #SpiritualWarfare the enemy can shove it 💪🏼🙏🏼👊🏼✌🏼🤪

Our family’s new daily practice: Writing a Key Verse of the day 3-5x - to make peace in our day - to remember what we read - to keep familiarizing our mind, body, & heart with God’s living word for when we’ll need reminding of God’s goodness, grace, mercy, & love 💜 #JoinUs

Since mornings will be filled w/these new fam routines #NiksRead_Share spaces will now be 8-9pm PST Monday-Thursday to help us wind down for bed. Recorded as always.. maybe background discussions with my hubs & kiddos will be included 🤷🏻‍♀️😋 We’ll see what God has in store🙏🏼🫶🏼🙌🏼

😊😊😊 really, reallyyy excited for these… makes sense how things have been leveling up lately… putting God first ALWAYS bears fruits that blows our minds 😄 why we forget sometimes 🤔🤦🏻‍♀️ is beyond me 😆😅 Starting & Ending our days with God as a familyyy 💃🏻🕺🏻 apparently the 5min sessions I used to do at the end of #NiksRead_Share spaces, being still & silent to listen to God… is now shifting to actively praying to converse & reflect with God on paper 😍🤩 This is going to be interesting. Read the intro of the couples’ Christ-Centered Marriage one &&& it looks AMAZING! It looks sustainable… like something we could actually stick to & the 3date-night ideas each week are such an adorable bonus 🥰 eek! I’m so excited ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

Oof.. the stretch of new blessings… new levels & responsibilities 😅✊🏼 Goodness, leveling up is UNCOMFORTABLEEeee but holy moly, I’m excited & anxious & so grateful 🥹🥲 #MaturityPending 🙃

🥰

😭😭😭 God is so Good 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 He is so worth trusting. So much wasted time stressing, planning, striving on my own to try & figure things out, make things happen, work/grind/sacrifice… (though I pride myself in always being willing to work & give everything my all…) - Seeking God - SURRENDERING everything in obedience… thoughts, words, decisions… to His guidance, His timing, His plans… (because He’s the ONLY ONE who knows me & everyone best & knows ALL things) - Speaking gratitude for what’s on & off my plate - Working with what I have - Stewarding the blessings I’ve already been given… has ALWAYS proven more fruitful & fulfilling than anything I’ve ever stressed myself out pushing for, wallowing in rejection & questioning my worth over 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 So, SO grateful to God for these answered-prayer connections in His UNREAL perfect timing. I deeply wish these divine alignment type of experiences for everyone 😭🙏🏼💜 May God Bless you for reading this random burst of gratitude & revelation.. I may not know much but this much I do… God is intentional & relational. “Randomness & Coincidence” almost always seems more like God working anonymously. Either way, I look forward to hearing/reading about your praise report for what prayers have been answered for you 🫶🏼🙌🏼

💜

Apologies fam… trying to push for these spaces amongst the schedule struggle with work & my kids’ activities right now, is looking too ambitious😮‍💨🙏🏼 Prayers would be much appreciated. Sadly, #NiksRead_Share spaces will need to be postponed another week to resume on Tuesday 8/18

#NiksRead_Share will resume on Tuesday 8/11 🫶🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼
