A few weeks ago, I took my usual jog around our neighborhood. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw an elderly woman riding her bike. Just a few seconds later, I heard a scream and as I looked over, I saw that the old woman had fallen off her bike onto the side of the road. Her bike, along with the items in her front basket had landed on top of her. I quickly crossed the street and as I got closer to the scene, granny was crying and visibly shaken. ...

Peace Is Possible
After searching for months for a new home in Chicago, Rob told me he found a house with a lot of potential. He explained it was in a beautiful neighborhood, across the street from a park, and very close to Elly’s school. At the time, Elly was about to turn four and I was very pregnant with Serena. When Rob showed me the house, I was shocked and disappointed as I exclaimed, “It’s so ugly!” The house had a nice, red brick exterior, but the ...

I Have A Confession To Make…
I have a confession to make…I am a killer of plants. One reason might be because most plants come with the instructions, “water daily.” In the midst of trying to raise my three kids, I can’t seem to keep my herbs alive by watering them consistently.

What Do You Need?
A few weeks ago, I was rushing around our house, carrying out my usual mom tasks. I was getting the laundry going, but was also tripping on toys while trying to pick up toys.

New Year, New Ministry
Happy 2023 friends! As we begin a new year, I wanted to share with you a new ministry opportunity God has given me here in South Florida. A few weeks ago, I began teaching a Bible study at a local women’s jail. While prison ministry was not something that was in my plans for this season, God made it very clear to me that I should say “yes” to this assignment.

Christmas Greeting from Nicole
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
During this Christmas season, I have been thinking about all of the changes our family has experienced over the last year. As many of you know, we moved from Chicago to South Florida in June. We bought a new house, Rob started a new job, and the kids started attending a new school.
Despite all of the changes, what has not changed this year is God’s faithfulness. He has walked with us during ...
