This Week's Spotlight~Nykee "Bunny" Parker: "Its Not About Me"

For a long time, Nykee Parker knew that her gift was to encourage people and speak life to darkness. Specifically she has a passion for women who struggle with low self-esteem. Nykee has written a book called “The Reflection In The Mirror” that shows women how to build confidence by understanding who God says they are and what their purpose is. She believes that a smile and a kind word can go a long way and she makes it her business to compliment someone every day. “I love that God uses me to bless others this way” says Nykee.

My Greatest Accomplishment to Date Has Been:

Graduating from CCBC with a 4.0 and being able to self publish 2 books, with 2 other books in progress.

Most Challenging Thing I Ever Experienced is:

The loss of my father, Eugene Allen Sr. I wanted to just give up. I no longer wanted to live, but through prayer and faith in God, I was able to reach a point where I was at peace with God’s decision to take him from me.

Most Valuable Lesson: 
My life is not about me. Every gift, every talent that has been given to me is really a gift and talent for someone else. Every decision that I make will either directly or indirectly affect someone’s life and therefore I take full responsibility in living life to the full potential that God has called me to.

Final Remarks: 

I am also a poet, spoken word artist, motivational speaker, and songwriter. Through everything I do, I always have a positive message, hoping that, whoever my audience is, will know that even though storms come, they always pass, and as long as they are in the master’s hands, they will be alright. Speak life.

Stronger by Nykee Parker/Artist & Poet

Beaten with the hardest whip

For no other reason than they could do it

You can’t believe how many time they hit him

To the point beyond recognition

After being arrested and tried

And with no friends at his side

He took his cross and made his way

To the place where he’d meet his fate

How heavy must his heart have been

To know he was about to meet his end

Being taunted by his enemies

The same ones He came to set free

They placed a crown upon his head

“King of Jews”, they laughed and said

Right before they nailed his hands

And laughed again

Up He went upon that cross

It seemed to all that he had lost

And later on He died that day

And there was nothing else to say

But wait, after three days past

Could it be a miracle at last?

The stone rolled away, no body

There was no trace, where is he

Not among the dead, but the living

Walking and talking, can you believe it

After tying up some loose ends with his disciples

He informed everyone it was time to go

But not before leaving words of comfort

That He was leaving behind the Holy Spirit

He’s going to prepare a place

And one day again we would see his face

And up He ascended to the heavens

Where He could sit on high and bestow blessings

It is because of His sweet sacrifice

That we love our Lord Jesus Christ

There is no one who loves us more

And it is because of this we are stronger
