“In Times Like These,” is once again stuck in my head. Not sure what it means. Trying not to read too much into it. Intentionally blocking the negative. However, I am human and this human side of me is wondering if my anchor is as secure as I believed it to be.
Hmmm…
Giving it to God, but also heeding the message.
That’s all. Praying you have a wonderful night!♥️
By the way, my show, Tyler Perry’s Sistas returns tonight! Can’t wait to see what factitious drama happens tonight. I believe we could all use a break from the real craziness that seems to be happening. Shaking my head.
I actually slept in this morning! Yes, that’s what I did! I went to bed early and woke up much later than usual. I guess I needed the rest. Had a busy weekend and yesterday was exhausting.
I don’t have any Facebook memories or journal entries to share today. Just stay safe, keep trusting God, and have a blessed day. Talk to you again soon.♥️
Here’s an excerpt from my journal entry written on May 28, 2017:
“God’s not dead. Jesus is not dead. Remember this. He’s all powerful! God is about to open windows. You NEED to be ready! READY! PREPARED!”
Not quite sure what all happened after that, but I do know later that year I launched my first consulting business, The ResearchDiva–RD. Y’all, I was ready. Couldn’t tell me nothing. I was The Research Diva–RD, ready to save the world! Global health equity was my mission and I was on it. When I tell you I just knew I was about to be working with international entities. Looking back, maybe I was a little too confident. Doors were opening and I was making moves and connections. However, what I had not accounted for were the hiccups and setbacks that came with my quest. Y’all, why did I think everything was going to flow as smoothly as I had planned in my head and on paper? All it took was one blow and I was out. Just being transparent. I was done. Physically I was still there doing the work; however, mentally I was gone.
So, here I am seven years later seeing and hearing that same message everywhere—“Be Ready! Windows are opening.” And I see it happening. Over the past few months some of the same opportunities I had 7-8 years ago have re-presented themselves and of course I am taking them. I know everyone doesn’t get second chances so I refuse to let them slip away. However, unlike seven years ago, I am not oblivious to the fact that all good things and successes come with challenges. This time I’m prepared. Yes, this time, no matter what happens, I will keep going.
Listen, please do not think this message is only for me. No, YOU should also be ready and prepared. Windows are opening. Setbacks and disappointments will happen as you move forward, but keep going!
I pray you are having a wonderful day thus far. Be blessed and again, keep going!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Rebranded, but still the same goal—health equity.♥️
Today, I am thanking God for just being God. For loving me unconditionally. For being patient with me time and time again. For giving me life when so many my age have already taken their final breath. For allowing me to restart multiple times without judgement. For continuously nudging me forward and not allowing me to give up. For His revelations, affirmations, and confirmations. For His protection. For peace.
Before you send that text or email, or make that call or post, or act or react—
Stop…
Breathe…
and
Ask yourself…
“Is it worth it?”
“What will I gain?”
“What will I lose?”
“Is it worth it?”
A moment of stillness can save you a lifetime of regrets—speaking from experience. Also, momentary satisfaction doesn’t always end well—experienced in this area as well. As the saying goes, the chickens will eventually come home to roost. Again…
It’s Shaun’s World
