Reader Beware

OK, so you have some how found your way to my blog... all I can say is I DO NOT APOLOGIZE for any of the content of this blog. This is the TRUE account and thought of what I have been through and what I am thinking and how GOD is changing who I am today to make me a NEW NICHOLE in the future. I must WARN you now, that I am not a writer, I am simply putting my words on something to read and reflect on. This may get personal, but it IS ME!

God's Timing!

So I realize that I have 3 friends right now that I can rely on NO MATTER WHAT! I have one who I have known since grade school... she is the one that introduced me to church outside of the catholic church. She took me outside the box, and we have journeyed together since. She has been the one that God has had do HIS pursuing! She was my SEEKER! When I was lost in allllll meaning of the word, she is the one that God sent to find me and bring me home. She NEVER gave up on me and still, to this day has proven to be there for me even tho I have not been so much a friend to her. I thank God for the bonds that we made so young in life and in spirit. GREAT timing...HIS timing. Then I have the friend that I met thru the first a few years later. She is my ENCOURAGER. She has been there for me as well, altho she may not have been the one seeking, she was always there with prayer and a great word of encouragement. Not to say that the first was not, but she sought after me like I was her own child. The second still to this day is my encouragement. She and I were not AS close then as we are becoming but that does not mean that she has not encouraged me any less. She motivates me in her walk with Him. I thank God for the words that he has given to her JUST FOR ME!  Then there is the most recent find. She is a beautiful woman of God and she is my CONFIDANT. I feel like God has placed her here in her hardship to help me in mine but just as much for me to help her through hers. We both have the same mutual friends and they are more than anyone could ask for, but this friend and I are going thru some of the same situations. She is my post to lean on when those thoughts and memories of the past significant others start to creep in, or when I get frustrated with being a single parent. She knows and understands things a little differently than the first two and God knows that. I think that her and I are more alike than we are different in a lot of ways. I thank God for His understanding and His gift of someone to walk thru this with for both support and mentoring! I will lean on her but I hope that she does the same...lean on me! So I thank God for who each of these girls are in Him and I thank Him for what each of these girls offer to me, but to the world as well. This world is a better place because of these 3 girls and God is most definitely at work in each one of us and our relationships with each other!
 Heavenly Father~
   I thank you for your timing.Each of these girls was presented to me at different times in my life and the timing could not have been more perfect! I thank you for each one and I pray blessings pour out over them in their lives. I pray that you rain down on them the greatness that each has given me. I fell truly blessed to know them and to have them so close to me in my walk and on my side in my battles! Thank you LORD for blessing me with each of them! AMEN

  1. :') I just got teary eyed at my computer. I AM SO GLAD I READ THIS BEFORE WALK OF LIFE. :) I love you Nic. I am sooooo thankful for you!!!!!! ((hug))

    John 15:13
    Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. (NIV)


    'If we choose our friends based only on what they have to offer, we'll rarely discover the blessings of a genuine friendship. Philippians 2:3 says, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves." By valuing your friend's needs above your own, you'll be on your way to loving like Jesus. In the process, you'll likely gain a true friend."

    Proverbs 17:17
    A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. (NIV)

    "We discover the best of friendships with brothers and sisters who know and accept our weaknesses and imperfections."

    so thankful for you, MY SISTERS! love you.

  2. Amen! You trying to make me cry Nic? I love you so very much and I'm thankful for you too! Like I've told you before, don't ever doubt that God is using you in my life as well because your testimony in the words (all of ours are in the works as we walk out our lives), but your testimony has sparked a confidence in HIM and His passion for us and it daily encourages me. I'm glad that you see me in a way I don't see myself, I don't "feel" like much of an encourager to you but I'm thankful that GOd could use me to bring encouragement. I feel like I've been so scatter brained and distracted lately and that bugs me. In the midst of it, it's amazing how God can still use us. Love you girl!
