My dad is doing well now, and we continue to see how the testimony of my brother's life has helped turn many hearts to Christ. I interviewed Nikki in a caf where the big screen television behind me was showing the latest baseball highlights and people around us were talking, laughing and eating in the caf we were sitting in. Amid the low rumble of people on the run, Nikki embraced the opportunity of telling me about what God has been doing through her music and ministry. Being able to focus on what's important didn't merely show there in the caf , but even more so through her descriptions of what God is currently teaching and showing her. My time is either with God or with my family.
Time is so important.
I tell people that we have to live each and every day for God, and I think that it's the little things that are stupid that I used to do during my day that waste my time that I don't do anymore. I could instead be doing something active or reading my Bible or spending time with somebody. So He's been really teaching me how to use my time, and how to use it wisely. Her enthusiasm stretches far past the things that God is doing in her to the ways that He is working through her. Nikki spoke again and again about the people she has the opportunity to meet each day because of her concerts and events.
