The first time I heard you pray ode to my Daddy

Hey fam! I thank God for giving me various ways to express myself. Poetry is one of those ways. I like to think of my poems as modern day psalms. Words are so beautiful!!!!

So as I was about to go to sleep, I was listening to Lexi's He's Here Right Now (OK so I am starting to say right now with a Southern accent and it makes me giggle...I am so goofy :>..I digress :>) and God dropped this poem in my Spirit.

It is about the first time I EVER heard my Daddy pray. Yes, that was THREE days ago, March 31, 2009. I called and he was about to eat lunch. He said excuse me Nik (that is what my parents call me...giggle...giggle) I need to bless my food. No it was not one of those good food good meat let's eat prayers. I heard his heart and I just cried. I heard how he and God have a relationship.

See ever since my father had a stroke last year, he has been in and out of the hospital and in a nursing home. I always felt I needed to be home to protect him. I wanted to be his God. But God confirmed what He already told me...I got this I am with him. Focus on what I told you to do and I will take care of your life.

I pray you enjoy and in the words of my PRAYING Daddy...let go and let God!!!!!


First time I heard you pray

The first time I heard you pray it was on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 to give thanks for your food. It blessed my heart yes indeed. I continue to see how God is meeting every need.

Because I knew the conversion was true and I thank God for his faithfulness in saving you.

Tears just streamed down my face as I thought about God’s amazing grace.

In the past you would have just thanked yourself, yes you were that bold to declare yourself God. Humbling circumstances has determined you were a fraud.

But I cannot help but remember that day when I cried out to God. I stood in the gap for eight years holding on to the promise of God.

On June 29,2007 the manifestation came the first time I formally preached. Only God knew through me it was your heart He would reach.

For two years we have shared this heavenly bond. As I look back I would have it no other way. All the memories that were triggered the first time I heard you pray!!!

I love you Daddy! Nikki
