My Journey With God, No. 131

Came across a quote this morning that I had saved on February 18, 2021. It said—

“Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path.”

For most of my life, I’ve considered storms to be disruptive—I mean, let’s be real, THEY ARE—but when I look back at the beauty that resulted from many of those storms, they were worth going through. Not all the storms, but most.

Today, I still face storms; however, they’re not as disruptive as they used to be. Perhaps it’s because I’m older and things just don’t faze me as they used to, or my experience with past storms makes the new ones seem more like strong breezes (so I bundle up). Either way, I know that there’s beauty on the other side of the storms, so that’s what I focus on, the beauty.♥️

A Morning Smile & Affirmation

February 18, 2022

It’s always nice to start the day with a smile. In my opinion, it sets the tone for a beautiful day. When your day begins to feel a little bleak, remember your morning smile.

This morning’s smile is both a reminder and an affirmation—

“You are loved.”

Affirm—

“I am loved.”

“Yes… I am loved.”

And you are!

Have a wonderfully blessed day.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Jesse Jackson

So many of our childhood leaders are transitioning on to the next realm of life—the afterlife—leaving our generation to carry on their legacy. May we continue the work they inherited from the generations before them, moving with pride, intentionality, and purpose.

In the words of the now late Reverend Jesse Jackson, let’s “keep hope alive.”

Rest in peace and power.

We have work to do!♥️
