Maybe you don’t realize you are sleepwalking through what could be the BEST and MOST fruitful time in your life???!!!!! It aint over! It aint over! Your work, your life, is incomplete! You are not finished being a mother, a father, a sister, a brother, a friend, a spouse, you are not finished!!! You’ve got more life left in you! You’ve got more to give! Wake up!
You can’t stay mad too long. You can’t stay sad too long. You can’t stay nonchalant too long. You’ve got to grow. You’ve got to move on. I know it’s difficult. I know it’s scary. I know it’s not fair but, you must, we must wake up and see what’s going on. We must open our eyes and deal with the reality and tragedies that are going on. God is asking you to care about the church. God is asking you to care about yourself! God is asking you to care about other people!
Believe it or not, God really does care about you. God cares about your success, progress, your hopes and dreams. God cares about your disappointments, heart breaks, and let downs. God cares. And I am mighty glad that he cares, and he is working things out for you! But you’ve got to get back in the game of life! You can’t win sitting on the bench!
~Nikki, from my message last Sunday, Strengthening What Remains
Nikki's Confetti Life 
There is a joke about a guy who goes to church each day and says the same thing. Lord, let me win the lottery. This happens for days on end. Lord, Let me win the lottery. LORD LET ME WIN THE LOTTERY !!!!
After several days he is yelling LORD LET ME WIN THE LOTTERY !!!
As he turns to walk out, a big booming voice yells back,,
Eddie, Its the LORD YOUR GOD. BUY A TICKET!!!
I often wonder, what is it that the Lord is reminding me to do today? Help me buy a ticket.
I really needed this message today, thank you!
