This time I remembered it was Sunday. I don’t know what I was thinking last Sunday. Laughing
I didn’t really know what to write for today’s Hello Sunday so I went searching for inspiration. Well, I didn’t have to search long. When I opened X (I really wish he wouldn’t have rebranded Twitter), I had a notification that someone had retweeted one of my tweets from months ago. It was a comment I had made during former First Lady Michelle Obama’s book tour for The Light We Carry. It was a quote from her father—“You fall. You get up. You keep moving.”
Your faith will sustain you.
That’s today’s message–
You fall.It happens. Life happens.
You get up.Brush yourself off. Your story isn’t over.
You keep moving.That was only a small part of your story. God has so much more in store. Soooo much more.
Praying you have a wonderful Sunday. I love you!♥️
God’s Favor by Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers Lyrics: Genius.com
I know that you don’t feel your best Hold on, Be strong God’s not forgotten you Broken dreams got you feeling blue Hold on, be strong God’s looking out for you Just remember at the end of the day The favor of God can open the way God’s favor, is more precious than life (God’s favor, more precious, than life, to me) I know that you don’t feel up to the fight Hold on, be strong The battle is not up to you Oh I hear you say, it just ain’t no way Hold on, be strong God’s got the final say Just remember in the midst of your down The favor of God can turn things around God’s favor more precious than life (God’s favor, more precious, than life, to me) So what if doors are closed God’s favor can bring high places down I know that you’ve been faithful And when God get’s ready to bless you There is nothing no man can do God’s favor, more precious than life
God’s favor is surrounding you. Embrace it. It’s already yours.♥️
Giving thanks for my two hearts!♥️♥️ Y’all, they really know how to brighten my day. We just watched Good Burger 2 together (not as good as the original but still good), and we are planning to play video and/or board games later. Loving this time with them.
I hope you are enjoying your Friday as well. Stay safe and be blessed!♥️
Yes…I am speaking life and blessings over everything.
Happy 50 years–5 months to me!! Thought Year50, my jubilee year, was going to be a cakewalk. Laughing. This was not the celebration I imagined, but it’s all good. God is shaping and molding me into the woman I am destined to be. Smiling.
Going into this next month of life speaking life and blessings over everything and everyone I touch, reach, and encounter. Everything and everyone in my path will be blessed. Amen
I can hear Donald Lawrence singing, “I Speak Life,” can’t you? Smile.
About to get up and finish cooking. Was still laying here thinking about this past year. Seems like I have lost much more than I have gained. I know every season isn’t going to be a harvest season, a cheerful season, a winning season. That’s life, right?
With that being said, there are things that have remained constant like my babies and their unconditional love, those strong, SOLID friendships I spoke of in my last post, and God’s love, mercy and grace. Those have never changed, and I am so thankful and blessed that they haven’t. No more questioning God. No more asking “why” or “why me.” Leaning into what’s constant, what has remained, while releasing the other.
Today is my first Thanksgiving without my momma. I started feeling it yesterday. Whew… Life… I am so very thankful for the 49 years (almost 50) we had together. She was definitely one of a kind and will forever be missed. Thankful she’s no longer in pain (she was in soooo much pain) and finally at peace. This Thanksgiving she is finally free.
What are you most thankful for?
I am the most thankful for life. Thankful that I am still here to experience God’s goodness. Thankful I am still here to love on my babies and them love on me. Y’all, they are my hearts, my smiles and my joys. I love them so much.♥️♥️
I am also thankful for my dad and bonus mom, my siblings, other family members, friendships (the strong, SOLID ones), and YOU. I am so very thankful for YOU!♥️
To everyone celebrating Thanksgiving, “Happy Thanksgiving!”
Seasons do not define you, God does. You are who He says you are– loving, caring, worthy, creative, capable, prosperous…the list goes on. You were wonderfully made and YOU ARE LOVED. Listen, seasons change. Remember who YOU are and adjust accordingly.♥️
