Like clockwork. As soon as I opened my eyes I heard, “This is the air I breathe…” Smile
So you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to let the song (“Breathe” by Byron Cage—details in past posts) be. I’m not going to wish it away. Instead, I’m going to embrace it and allow God’s holy presence to surround me and flow through me.
Today, I encourage you to do the same. Breathe in God’s presence. Allow it to surround and flow through you. Believe me, there’s absolutely nothing like it.
Breathe…
Wishing you a wonderful day. May it be filled with lots of love, laughter, joy, and peace.♥️
I really didn’t know what to title this post because I didn’t want to do a third part of “Air I Breathe.” But here I am still writing about the song I’ve been waking up to, hearing throughout the day, and falling asleep to for a week now. Today’ I’m sharing the lyrics to the entire song. Maybe once I get it out, I won’t hear it anymore. Don’t get me wrong, the song isn’t a bad song or annoying. Honestly, it’s actually quite soothing. But I would really like to hear something else.
Here are the lyrics—
Breathe by Byron Cage
This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe Your Holy presence Living in me
This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe Your Holy presence Living in me
This is my daily bread This is my daily bread Your very Word Spoken to me
And I, I’m desperate for you And I, I’m lost without you
This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe Your Holy presence Living in me
This is my daily bread This is my daily bread Your very Word Spoken to me
And I, I’m desperate for you And I, I’m lost without you And I, I’m desperate for you And I, I’m lost without you And I, I’m desperate for you And I, I’m lost without you
This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe
So the song title is actually “Breathe.”🤷🏽♀️ As I mentioned before, the song is really soothing. It’s a nice, slow-paced worship song. However, I would really like to hear something else if it’s God’s will. I had to add this caveat because I don’t want to speak against God’s will. Amen
Anyhoo…
This is all I have for now. Remember, it’s Self-Love Saturday. Be sure to do something extra nice for yourself.♥️
***I wanted to add this. Just thinking about how I wrote, “I don’t want to speak anything against God’s will.” Y’all, I truly respect God’s will. I truly honor Him. He’s too good to me for me not to. Amen
I believe the only way any of us manage to press on after devastation and adversity without losing every single ounce of hope is by finding something good to hold on to. We focus on the good.
As we remember those who lost their lives on this day 25 years ago and those who continue to lose their lives daily due to hate and fear, let’s remember that there’s still good in the world. Sometimes it’s hard to see, but goodness is still here. The day that we stop believing in the goodness of humankind is the day hope dies.
We must keep hope alive.
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day and beautiful weekend.♥️
When you take that leap of faith… that giant leap of faith where there’s no going back, know that God is with you. Every step you take, He takes, unless you leave Him behind. And please, whatever you do, don’t leave God behind. You cannot afford to move without Him.
I pray your weekend is going well. I forgot that it’s Labor Day weekend and most people are off work tomorrow. So, please enjoy your extended weekend!
This morning, I’ve been scrolling through the photos on my phone, looking at what I saved or captured on this date over the past ten years. Life is so interesting. I have had so many different looks and experiences. Time has really flown by. Grateful to still be here.🙏🏽
Not sure what I’ll do today—what memories I’ll make. Think I’ll just go with the flow…
Here’s a short video of the quotes I shared on September 6, 2022:
Singing “Air I Breathe” by Byron Cage. Feel free to sing and worship along. The song says—
“This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe Your holy presence Living in me…”
Y’all, God is so good. I am so thankful His presence surrounds and lives in me. Amen
Not only is today Self-Love Saturday, but it’s the International Day of Charity. While you’re showing yourself a little love, please consider supporting one of your local charities. So many people are in need, and anything you can give—even if all you can afford to give is your time—will go a long way. Believe me, your little is someone’s blessing.🙏🏽
This is all for the moment. Wishing you a wonderfully blessed day.♥️
Since I’m wide awake, I thought I’d go ahead and share a post. The song of the hour is Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s “For Your Glory.” The song says—
Lord if I Find favor in Your sight Lord please Hear my hearts cry…
For Your glory I will do anything Just to see You To behold You as my King
Several posts ago, I posed the question “What do you want most from life?” Well, my answer is for God’s glory to shine through me. I’m not asking to be perfect, nor do I ever want to be, but I do want God’s glory to shine through me and everything I do. I want others to feel what I feel when I think of my experiences with God. Sometimes I stop and think, “I know people think I’m crazy or losing it.” Laughing. But y’all, my experiences with God are truly indescribable. I’m forever in awe of Him! This doesn’t mean I don’t ever feel down, get hurt, experience pain, or cry, because all of this happens. However, it’s how God shows up not only in bad times but also in the most wonderful times that amazes me. I want everyone to have these God experiences.
I can’t express it enough how good God is, and how truly blessed I am.
I pray you have a wonderful day and weekend. May you experience the presence of God’s glory. May it rest upon you and shine through you.♥️
Why am I just finding out about this dude Daejon Love? If he was so rich, why were they sending him money?
I’m just joking… I know him?
Where can I sign up for that lawsuit?!😜🤣
Y’all, I really be missing out on all the good stuff. I’m laughing because my baby girl kept asking me if I had heard about the scammer. I was like, the scammers they’ve been putting on credit card machines?!
I’m crying laughing!! Where have I been?!😅😂😂😂
People are so interesting. Never a dull moment in this world.
Something beautiful is happening in the atmosphere. This week alone, I’ve witnessed people step up, walk in their callings, and receive blessing after blessing. Y’all, it’s been so beautiful to watch. The testimonies alone have left me smiling and sometimes weeping happy tears. God is so good! Be careful not to miss the good things happening around you and in your life as well. Believe me, the blessings are there. You just have to be open to recognizing and receiving them.
Again, God is so good!
This is all I have for you today. Have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love, laughter, peace, and happiness.♥️
Earlier, I came across a post from a renowned author and photographer (we’ll call her Lis) whom I met years ago after she spoke at an event I attended. I know I caught her off guard with my enthusiastic claim that our meeting was somehow a divine encounter. I said something to the effect that I knew God orchestrated our meeting and that we’d work together someday. Well, that day never came. Laughing. However, we became Facebook friends, and she did meet my mom. Lis interviewed my mom for a book she was writing and took photos of her—which made my mom feel so special. So, although we never worked together, the time she spent with my mom was so worth our meeting. Smiling.
The reason today’s quote and Lis’ post are so significant is because they were both divinely timed. Lis shared her post three days ago, but I didn’t see it until this morning, after today’s quote was posted. You see, Lis and I both began our doctoral journeys (in different fields) at the same time (Summer of 2018). She finished and became a professor, and I quit and started pursuing other ventures/adventures. Seeing Lis’ post reminded me of the journey I sometimes question whether I allowed fear to stop me from pursuing. I know that my heart wasn’t truly in it; however, deep down it was still a goal I wanted to achieve. It was a space that challenged me, and I caved under the pressure—just being honest and transparent.
Again, I needed to see the quote and post because I have so much work to do that will require me to operate at a different level. A few months ago, I became the southern region representative for our state’s Public Health Association. Public health, advocacy, policy making, and program development were the focus of my DrPH (Doctor of Public Health) degree.
I have a lot to think about and some decisions to make. This time I need to let hope guide my decisions and choices, not my fears.
