Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
As we know, with new beginnings comes the chance to make a new name for yourself. A chance to start over with a clean slate. A chance to reinvent yourself! When you think of reinvention, you think of transformation. You know those plans everyone makes on December 31st of every year for the following year? A resolution or should I say a Re- Solution? A plan to start over and transform themselves to be different in some way, shape or form from the previous year.
Transform means to change in form, appearance or structure; metamorphose. Transformation begins from the inside. It begins with the mind. Once you begin thinking differently, you to see things differently. Once you see things differently, you begin to respond or behave differently. Once you begin to behave differently, you are seen by others differently. It is a domino effect.
With all that has occurred I my life within the pass few months, I find myself at a stage of transformation. I have been asking God to renew my mind when it comes to certain things in my life. It's a process in itself but I can recognize the process. For instance, a lot of us women deal with the issue of wanting to lose weight. By changing my mind about the issue, rather than trying to lose weight for an event or by a certain time, I have begun to notice a change in myself. I have made the decision to be healthy, as healthy as I can be. This is also a process. You take it one step at a time. I have begun to think about the things that I eat that contribute to the way I look and feel. I have begun to think about my future and how much more of a happy life I will have for myself and for my own future family by making healthier choices and being active. My focus is on something greater than just seeing the numbers on the scale go down or fitting into some new skinny jeans. God has opened my eyes to the bigger picture of it all.
That is just area in which I am being transformed. God is working so much in my mind and heart, reshaping me spiritually as well. This is the most important transformation of all. Every new level requires a new amount of strength, grace and wisdom. The enemy's attack gets greater and greater the closer you are to fulfilling the purpose God created you for. Transformation is never ending! It can also be very uncomfortable.
When you are transforming, your are changing the way you used to do things. You are thinking differently and working differently. Sometimes you have to force yourself not to go back to doing things the way you did them before or else your transformation will be stunted. Transformation can be painful at times, you might want to give up. Just as if you were trying to transform your physique. You have to do things differently and on purpose to get different results. Better results. And you know when you get the best results? When you have someone who has been there, made the transformation before you or has wisdom to guide you along in your process. We all need guidance. With that being said, the first step in the transformation process should be humility.
1 Peter 5:6 reads Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. When we are humble to God, were are moldable. He can begin to work on the inside of us to transform us into what He has called us to be and to take us to where He has destined for us to go. We have to be willing to start the process by humbling ourselves to Him first and foremost, secondly to a wise and experienced guide that will also help us along in our journey, whether that be a Pastor, a spiritual counselor, etc.
So that is where I am. I am in my transformation stage. I have gone through my troubled time and now God is beginning to refine me into beautiful gold. It's a process. Is that where you are in your journey right now? Have you begun the transformation process? Have you humbled yourself yet? It's good to stop, be quiet and still, and figure out where you are in your journey. It makes things a lot clearer and you will be much happier once you are aware of where you are and you accept where you are at this time. I know for a fact it can be easier said than done to accept it but you have to know, you are in a process! You are transforming! Look forward to your metamorphoses!
GREATER IS COMING!!!!

New Season, New Day, New Beginning
Here I am once again,
I have decided to make more of a purposeful effort to write everyday. God continues to work in my life and all glory belongs to Him for how far I have come. I would just like to share where I am at this point.
As you all know, a chapter of my life has ended and I have begun to open up a brand new chapter, with brand new feelings and brand new experiences. I recognize that God has brought me into a new season, a new day, a brand new beginning.
There is a lot on my mind at this time. I have found myself in a search mode once again. A place I have not been in since I was about 22 years old. I am realizing that the old has passed away and everything really has become new. It is almost as if I am starting all over from the beginning and I have been given a second chance to do things better than before. Now this is a great thing! Who doesn't want a second chance? My God is the God of second chance.
Well why aren't I absolutely ecstatic about this brand new blank page??? Why do I feel like it will take me forever to get where I want to be now? Before, I felt as though I was getting closer to the things I wanted such as being a wife, being a mother, having my own family, being the ultimate adult. Now it's like I have to start all over from scratch! How long will it take? I understand patience is virtue but just how long will I have to wait? How much work needs to be completed in me at this time? I see what I want and I am ready to be there now. I am not getting any younger. I feel like I am running out of time! My peers around me have been moving forward in their lives, getting married and starting their own families and I am being left behind. I feel like I have to play catch up!
Yes, I know everyone is in different seasons at different times. This season, I'm sure is a season where God wants to use me completely for His glory. I understand that. I have been catapulted to new levels in my worship and my gift is making way for me. But if I take the time to be honest, I long for these other things. Is that so bad? I am human.
As I sit here, thinking about all that I long for, how far away it seems to me. I open my bible and the verse that is revealed to me is, 1 Corinthians 2:9 which reads: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. I love Him! That means me! If you love Him, that means you!! Sometimes, we get so caught up in our own thoughts, and the enemy can run with those thoughts and we start to believe our own thoughts and forget that God has the final say so. Isaiah 55:8 reads: For My thoughts are not your thoughts nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My thoughts than your thoughts. And you know what he said about His thoughts in Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Now if that isn't good news, I don't know what is!! This post goes to show that the best way to put to rest your own, carnal thoughts and fears is to open up your bible and read the words of the Lord to bring you comfort and to calm all of the fears that the enemy has been trying to run rapid with. I know we all make plans for our lives. I for sure did and they did not work out the way I wanted them. I was supposed to have been married for 5 years by now and have at least 2 children according to my plan. But guess what?! God's plans are the best plans. We don't know them and that is the hard part of it all, but the best thing for me or anyone else can do is TRUST Him.
So there, this post just ministered to me if it didn't minister to anyone else. Greater is coming! It gets here and then God has more!!!! Hold on with me! We get a brand new chance, let's be grateful for it together!!!!

I'm In Love With A MAN!
I’m in love
with a MAN
A REAL MAN
Not the kind
that’s selfish and self-centered
Controlled
by his ego and still living with his mama
This MAN is Independent
Selfless
Loving
Caring
Sensitive
And puts me
before himself
I’m in love
with a MAN
A REAL MAN
Not the kind
that cares more about getting his bread up,
Making a
name for himself, and “turning up” every
weekend,
Than he does
about being there for his family
This MAN
chases God
Prays for
his future wife
Intercedes
for his child
Worships
through hardships
Meditates on
the Word
And surrounds
himself with wise, Godly counsel
I’m in love
with a MAN
A REAL MAN
He
understands what it means to be the head of the household, to provide for his
family and to love his wife as Christ loves the church. He exercises the
ability to make me number 1 in his life as well as ensure me of the security of
the spot that I hold.
I’m in love
with a MAN
A REAL MAN
The ONE God
created me for and him for me. We were purposed to be brought together at the
right time, allowing Jehovah to perfect
us for one another.
He is a MAN
of God, a leader in the Kingdom. A MAN I
am willing and anxious to follow.
I’m in love
with a MAN
He’s THE MAN
He’s MY MAN
And I am
ever so grateful!
So this is just some inspired writing that I wanted to share. As you can see, I have been slacking on my posts. None the less, I have thought about my readers and I can share that I a doing wonderful! God continues to work his loving grace and mercy throughout my life. I have had some days of missing physical companionship, having a main person to be my movie partner, arcade buddy or just plain roll dawg . The enemy would try to bring all sorts of negative things into my mind about me and the things I have experienced but then God reminds me of how good He is and how much of a good time He and I can have together! My dear brothers and sisters, remember that victory cannot be won if you do not have an opponent to overcome! Your Greater is Coming if it has not already gotten to you yet. No matter what you are feeling, going through or what it looks like, just know, YOUR BEST IS YET TO COME! HOLD ON! MY GREATER IS HERE!

Open Book: Transparent
Good morning,
Good night,
Good afternoon,
Whatever it may be to you, I pray it is a good one. Here I am again, opening myself up completely to you, my readers and also to myself.
As you all may know by now, I don't mind being transparent for all to see. In my opinion, I'm giving others a chance to learn, experience and derive hope through me. I have had a few of you testify to the latter; hope. It brings me great joy to know that through the sharing of my pain, my attacks and my victories, I am helping someone else. Like I always say and strongly believe, I never go through anything just for myself... It's always for someone else.
So where are you, Nikeya, with this process? How are you handling everything up until now? I'd say I have been doing exceptionally well. God has been doing an excellent job at showing me where I'm headed, reminding me of where He brought me from, what He protected me from and allowing me to love in spite of my hurts; it amazes me! I had no clue I would experience some of the wonderful feelings I am experiencing at the present time.
With that being said, the enemy is still at work. I must admit to you, just because it may feel like he's let up a little, doesn't mean you're in the clear. It only means he went back to the drawing board to come up with a different strategy; a different plan of attack. I find now, since he could not win by attempting to harden my heart and make me bitter, he has now moved on to my trust.
Realizing the person who attempted to marry me, not even three months ago, has moved on rather quickly and begun his new life with his new child's mother has caused me to wonder; was any of it ever real? Are the things anyone ever says to me real? Male or female. Are those people who tell me things or share information with me, are they really doing it because they care or are they purposely trying to hurt me also? I seem to can't help but question everyone's motives now. My trust has been completely betrayed and probably, just like many of you, when your trust is betrayed you begin to keep an eye on everyone around you no matter how close you are or how long you've known the person.
Proverbs 3:5-6 is the scripture that has to guide me right now. The scripture tells me to trust in the Lord with ALL my heart and lean not on my own understanding; in ALL my ways acknowledge Him and He will direct my paths. I place an emphasis on ALL because the word is said twice and it appears to stick out to me. It makes me feel like, right now, it is OK for me to feel the way I do towards human beings, the people around me because ALL of my trust needs to be in the Lord. He's the only One who is always constant. He will never leave me nor forsake me. He keeps His promises. His word never returns to Him void. I'm more than grateful for who He is and who He has been in my life. He continues to walk with me, moving me forward and opening countless doors!
So, I said all of that to say, not all feelings we feel during our process are bad. We just need to recognize them, know what the word says and know what to do with them. Don't freely hand them over to the enemy to manipulate and distort. EVERYONE IS NOT OUT TO GET YOU (I'm speaking to myself also). Give it ALL to God and let Him complete His perfect work. I am progressing wonderfully, better than I thought I would in the beginning, but I have to let Him complete the work. I cannot stop it prematurely just because I feel good. I'm still claiming that my Greater is here. I also need to be whole to experience my Greater to the fullest! Let the work continue! Don't lose hope. Your GREATER IS COMING!

When's The Wedding?
Greetings all!
Update: I'M DOING GREAT! So much has changed with regards to my emotional health. I am happier, more content, more fulfilled than I can ever remember! God continues to work and do wonders in my life. I'm so grateful for this entire process.
With all of that being said, I'm sure you can guess where I am in my process! The healing continues to take place and I feel closer and closer to my blessing everyday. If I'm getting closer to my Greater then that must mean I'm moving further and further away from that which the devil tried to use to stop me.
I have been making great strides. I titled this post, "When's The Wedding? " because since I have been back to work and into the groove of the real world, that is the question that has begun to get asked. Now, in the beginning of this process, to hear that question would have brought about pain, embarrassment, shame, and whatever else the enemy would have tried to beat me down with. The first time the question was asked was when I realized, God has done so much work in me! I didn't get choked up at all, I didn't feel any bad feelings. What I felt was relief and pure happiness! To know that I'm not a part of a life filled with drama and sin is the most wonderful blessing!
I have never felt so free, alive and like I can be myself without feeling like I need to hide some of who I am so not to offend the other person. I can love God, talk about my love for Him and be understood and accepted all while doing it! God has brought an amazing friend into my life who challenges me to grow more and more spiritually! I also still have the support of good Christian family and friends who love me. God has given me something to hold on to!
He is giving me a glimpse of that which He has in store and wants for me. I'm happy! I'm not sad at all. I'm so glad I went through what I did because it has formed a great appreciation for the real thing! The pure, true, honest things God has waiting for me and I'm so excited as I see myself having them more and more! My worship has intensified. I have been focusing on the gifts God has blessed me with and I have been getting blessed all the while!
My Greater is here and I'm so happy to share it with you! I'm excited to tell you that it doesn't have to take long. Trust Him! Follow Him! Obey Him! You will receive more than you ever could imagine! Keep hanging in there with me and I will do the same for you. My smile had returned and is here to stay!
I'm just as excited for you as I am for me! GREATER IS COMING!

Anticipating: A Poem to My Greater.
Hello all!
I realize I am going to have to set time on the weekends for my posts. For some reason my weekdays tend to fill too much or go too quickly and I don't seem to be able to write like I wish. Today, I have decided to write a poem. Somewhat of a prophetic, looking ahead at what I believe God has waiting for me. The man of God He has so skillfully prepared for my arrival. Sometimes, you have to get excited for yourself. The word says God will give us the desires of our hearts as long as we keep His commandments. Walking with Him leads us directly to what He knows we have so longed for. My excitement has been building and continues to build, I am now anticipating the manifestation. Here goes...
To my husband, my best friend, my lover, my protector...
I want to start off by telling you that I love you
From the first day of my existence my heart was created for you
Ever since I was a little girl I would imagine our future together
How exited I'd be for the day you'd come to love me forever.
Reading stories of Prince Charming, dreaming of this type of fella
Who would not cease looking to find me, like I was his Cinderella
Having hopes of a fairy tale, just like the ones I read in books
As long as he sees me as his princess, I wouldn't care how he looked
Growing and experiencing all sorts of different pains
From heartbreak to heartbreak, I felt I would go insane
Then I looked to Jesus, who has been mending every wound
Providing me with hope that your love would find me soon.
Preparing me for my destiny, each experience was a lesson
Training me to differentiate the evil from the blessing
I am finally free with divine insight, no longer am I chasing,
Instead I stand still with patience, waiting, anticipating...
So many frauds and counterfeits crossed my path before you
Faking, fronting, pretending but they could never be you
Your genuine love and heart for God has captivated my spirit
You've always had the key to my heart, you just hadn't been near it
Well now it's time you unlock and set free all that has been trapped inside
The love, compassion and joy I have for you is becoming hard to hide
I know the journey has been long and the different pain excruciating
"The reward is great" is what I think, while I'm waiting, anticipating...
The day you come to get me and take me into your arms
I know I will be instantly in love and it won't be because of your charm
It's because I prayed for you, I asked God to keep you and me
Until that special day in His timing that we meet our destiny
My heart beats crazy inside my chest as I think of when that day will come
It's hard for me to maintain my composure when I think of you being the one
Patience is virtue and love is patient, these verses I continue stating
As I hold on to hope and my love for you, waiting, anticipating...
Well, that's the end of my poem. I hope you enjoyed it. Please don't go plagiarizing. LOL..I'm serious though. I just wanted to share this so that it can be evident to my readers, the people who have gone through or are currently going through the type of hurt, heartache, battle, etc. that I have or maybe even worse; that God can change your perspective. He can be you strength, He can encourage you, He can give you hope again. The devil likes to attack the heart. Especially the heart of those God created to provide the body of Christ with a supernatural kind of love for Him. Don't let your heart be hardened. Continue to look to the Lord and He will grant you far beyond what you thought you desired! I am still here for you. Still praying for you and still believing with you that GREATER IS COMING! It's here, just take a hold of it!

My Greater Is Here!
Hi!!
It has been a little while since I last wrote. I do apologize. Good news is, God is still working! He knows exactly what we need and when we need it. I'm still going through the process of healing and restoration. Things have gotten much easier. My mind has other things to think on and imagine. Good things. I'm so blessed.
With getting back to work and back into the groove of reality, my time really hasn't been managed well. That is my fault and I promise to doa better job. So many new, unexpected things have occurred sincei last wrote. Exciting things. God is really moving on my behalf. My greater is here! My smile has completely returned.
My joy has been fulfilled, my heart is still in the Lord's hands and it has so much to hold on and look forward to. It's amazing how God will work in and through things and/or people to help with your healing and restoration! We just have to allow Him to work.
I'm sure you have noticed that in the beginning of my process, when the pain was fresh and strong, my posts seemed to be much longer. As the days went on, as I spent more time in the presence of the Lord, as I lived out my purpose to be a worshipper and worshipped my way through this thing, my posts looked to get shorter and shorter. It's not because I didn't want to write, at times I would be at so much peace, so full of joy that I would draw a blank and just go through my previous posts reading my words, your comments and smile.
The scriptures that I have share with you, they are being or have been made real in my experience. God has begun to move me into a new place. He has kept my heart soft and my mind free in order that I may be able to recognised that which is truly of Him and not shun it away. I truly have a peace that passes all understanding! Do I at times still think of how wrongly I was treated and how devalued I was and how could a person be so cruel? Not often but the thought has arisen. Then I think of the wonderful things God has waiting for me that will restore and supersede all that the enemy thought he took from me. God is giving me more than I deserve! I'm more than grateful. My trust in Him has never swayed. My ability to be honest with Him, cry out to Him and express my feelings has allowed me to draw nearer to Him and establish an even more intimate relationship than before. God has been answering my prayers and letting me know He hears me. I have been having the most amazing experience ever!
Friends, I know things can be tough, the pain may be fresh and strong. It may even feel like it will never go away but I garuntee and am a living witness that if you hold on to Him for dear life, get His word down into your heart and trust it to come to pass, it will! I'm still saying it and I'm still believing it.. GREATER IS COMING! And I am now beginning to see that it's already here! Hold on, you're closer than you think!

Do I at times still think of how wrongly I was treated and how devalued I was and how could a person be so cruel? Not often but the thought has arisen. Then I think of the wonderful things God has waiting for me that will restore and supersede all that the enemy thought he took from me. God is giving me more than I deserve! I'm more than grateful. My trust in Him has never swayed. My ability to be honest with Him, cry out to Him and express my feelings has allowed me to draw nearer to Him and establish an even more intimate relationship than before. God has been answering my prayers and letting me know He hears me. I have been having the most amazing experience ever!
Friends, I know things can be tough, the pain may be fresh and strong. It may even feel like it will never go away but I garuntee and am a living witness that if you hold on to Him for dear life, get His word down into your heart and trust it to come to pass, it will! I'm still saying it and I'm still believing it.. GREATER IS COMING! And I am now beginning to see that it's already here! Hold on, you're closer than you think!
