This morning’s message from God to me was Joel Osteen’s “Unconditional Trust,” originally shared on March 26, 2017. Before watching the video, I was led to look and see what I had written in my journal or saved in my photos on that date. I discovered that on that date, I was preparing for our annual state dietetics meeting. I was the president of our association that year. Also on that date, I referenced the date March 26, 2015—the day I learned I would be the president-elect for 2015-2016.
Whew! Talk about a full-circle moment.
Now, here I am again, president–elect of the same state association. Didn’t know it was even possible. I had written off this path of my journey as lessons learned. Thought that was how God would use it. Yet, here I am again.
I needed Pastor Osteen’s word. I don’t always understand… correction… I never understand what God is doing until after it’s done. However, I am learning to trust Him unconditionally. Who knew I’d be in this position again? What’s great about this time around is that I am not starting from scratch. I’m starting with more knowledge and experience.
Side Note: I just want to give you a glimpse of what’s so mind-boggling to me, what I have been trying to grasp. In 2016 (the year of my presidency), Donald Trump won his first presidential election. Now here are again, at the beginning of his second term. You see what I mean about a full-circle moment. Definitely not a coincidence. And y’all know I live in Mississippi, right? Times were interesting then. Not sure how interesting they’ll be this time. Again, not starting from scratch but with more experience and knowledge. I’m forever asking, “God, what are You doing?” Lol! When I say God has a sense of humor, this is what I’m speaking of. Gotta laugh.
This journey is definitely not for the weak.♥️ ~Shaun
P.S. There’s a little lagniappe at the end of Joel Osteen’s video. Fast forward about 20 minutes and you’ll see it. When I tell you God is sooooo good! So very good. I just love the way He loves me. Beyond Blessed.🥰
