My desire is to please God. Period.
Today/yesterday was long and exhausting. So exhausting that I fell asleep before 7:00 PM and missed the VERZUZ battle between singers Donell Jones and Joe. UGH… This was one I was looking forward to. Don’t plan to watch the replay. To me, the battles are only good when watched live.
Now, I’m wide awake!
Been reading past journal entries from this day and began writing a new one before I decided to share my thoughts here. Overall, the main theme from all the entries I’ve read—and not just from this date, but from my life’s journey—has been to please God. To make sure He received the glory in everything I did.
And today, it’s still the same. Nothing has changed.
Before I attempt to go back to sleep (hopefully it won’t take long😊), I just want to thank God for loving me. Many praises to Him just for being God. It’s funny how that “holy-roller” image I tried so hard to get away from in my late 20s seems to be in full effect now, and I truly love it. I’m laughing because the person, or “holy-roller,” I was in my teenage years lived her life based on perfection. I wanted to be the perfect example of Christ. What I didn’t realize, and it took me years to discover, is that God never asked me to be perfect. He just asked me to be myself, to love Him, and to love those around me. And that’s exactly what I intend to continue doing.
Y’all, God is so good. I am truly, truly blessed.♥️
