Today’s post is a simple prayer/request:
“Lord, please give me patience.”
Today, I’m choosing to let go and let God. Have a blessed day.♥️

Patience

Life happens. Go with the flow.
Hello Sunday
I actually slept all night! Believe I fell asleep around 11 PM and didn’t wake up until 5 AM. I needed the sleep.
Yesterday, one of my friends drove down to have lunch with me and we talked for hours. Y’all, I needed the company. I needed to feel like an individual again. I needed to feel like Shaun again. It felt so good to be able to freely express myself without judgement or tiptoeing around feelings. Grateful for true friendships.
I’m going to leave you with a few gems from August 6th (wish I could share them all):

I pray that you have a joyful day. Love you!♥️

This Just Blessed My Soul
Just watched a beautiful video that blessed my soul! Y’all, I immediately felt a sense of calmness and peace when Theo de Plessis began sharing his story. I have decided to bookmark it and make part of my morning routine.
The world needs more love, kindness, compassion and peace. I believe this can and will happen when we place more value on people and relationships than things and self-serving ambitions.
If you have 10 minutes to spare, and need to a little inspiration, please watch the following video: Being Beautiful.
Be Blessed♥️

Present and At Peace
Had forgotten about the theme I had chosen for this year, “Present and at peace.” Life started happening and my focus shifted from drawing from my inner peace to focusing on things happening around me. And about a good 90 percent of those things were someone else’s problems. My daughter says I internalize other people’s problems. She says it’s okay to empathize with them but their problems are theirs. And she’s absolutely right. I’m listening.
So today, I am once again choosing to stay present – only focusing on what’s in front of me – and at peace. Praying you do likewise. Have a wonderful day!♥️ ~Shaun
I Received My Answer
I’m not sure what’s going on with me waking up around 3:00/3:30 AM nowadays. Like, I’m wide awake. Then around 5:30/6:00 AM, I find myself falling back to sleep. At first it was annoying, but now I just start everything two hours earlier, then take a nap before officially getting up. Anyhoo…
After waking up with Marvin Winans’ song, Draw Me Close to You/Thy Will Be Done, playing over and over in my head, and much needed prayer time with God, I received my answers. I know what’s wrong. Not going to go into details because those revelations were just for me. Now that I understand what the problems are, I can deal with them. Now, how I choose to do it is totally up to me.
Here’s what I’ll call one of the “solutions” to the revelations. Listen, it had me shaking my head and smiling at the same time. Y’all God is so good. It’s an excerpt from one of my journal entries from this date. Debating whether or not to share the entire entry. Will let you know what I actually decided before I hit publish.
Shaun’s Journal Entry: August 4, 2014
So I’ve decided not to fight it any longer. I may as well give in and just let things be. No, I’m not happy, but as I’ve told others many times before, make yourself happy. So life has given me a barrel of lemons & grapefruit. Time to make sour punch (sounds gross huh?). Oh well…
God will work it out. Turn it over to Jesus, he will work it out! He can, he can, work it out. You won’t even have to touch it. Hallelujah!!
Although that entry was about something completely unrelated to what I am currently going through, I believe it was written for this very moment. Nine years ago, God already knew exactly what I would need to get through this time. So yes, I’m smiling and now tearing up. I needed those words of encouragement. I’m turning everything over to God. I won’t have to lift a finger or touch a thing. He will work it out. Amen
By the way, I shared the entire entry. All of it was relevant. I keep telling y’all God loves me. Smiling
Praying you have a blessed weekend. Thanks for reading. Love you!♥️

Hmmm… What’s Going On With Me?
Y’all, something is happening to me and I’m not sure what it is. I try to stay in tune with my emotions/feelings so that I know when things are off. Well, lately I’ve noticed that things have been a little off. For one, I am not as understanding as I used to be. I’m also easily agitated. Like I told someone a couple of weeks ago, I feel like I’m at a stage in my life where I don’t have time for foolishness. I don’t feel like accepting any and everything with a smile. I used to try to be understanding and give grace, now it’s like my patience is almost nonexistent. I haven’t snapped at anyone… yet (cause I do feel it coming on) but I have been short with a few people. I have even caught myself frowning and making faces while listening to nonsense. I used be able to hide it, now whatever I think or feel is clearly written all over my face. When did I become a grumpy old woman? Sighing
Perhaps I’m sleep deprived, or I’m sad or depressed and don’t realize it (my daughter’s thoughts). I don’t know what it is but I don’t like it and have to find a way to change it.
Anyhoo… I know this was another random post. Just needed to release that negative energy. Now let me go find something positive to do.
Good Night♥️
