I'm Niki. I love reading, the beach, good food (especially cheese), travelling, and time with my friends. But more importantly, I love Jesus, God's Word, and my precious little family.
Here's the truth: I don't always know what that looks like. You know, "leaning on His arms". But under God's blanket of grace, I am TRYING.
It's not easy for me to lean on anyone for anything. When I was younger, it drove my mom crazy that I rarely needed her for anything. In relationships, I have always been the care "giver," not the care "taker". I'm an engineer, so I like to research, analyze (OK over-analyze), and solve problems. To. A. Fault. I have never left a lot of room for someone to help me.
In these last few years, the Lord has been trying to show me that I can't do this, all of this, and do it WELL, on my own. I don't want to get burnt out and suffocated by the challenges that I face. I want to thrive in this life I've been given and rest in the arms of the One who gave it to me, for His glory.
Please join me as I figure out what it looks like to lean on His arms through motherhood, being in a spiritually unequal marriage, trying to stay fit and healthy, cultivating godly friendships, working full time, and battling secondary infertility.
Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is a dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms; And He drove out the enemy from before you, And said, 'Destroy!'
