First thing I know, God is love The next thing would be, He loves me Sometimes I’m tired of waiting for a thing or someone Then I stop and see what He’s done and I know everything will come Maybe today, anything can change, nothing stays the same Maybe today, what’s tomorrow for, no one knows for sure Through it all, come what may Little miracles happen everyday…
What is a miracle? Love is a miracle Every time that you care, a miracle, it happens somewhere So many miracles, even small little miracles Just take one look about, it’s not hard to figure out ‘Cause it might be today, anything can change nothing stays the same And maybe today, what’s tomorrow for, no one know for sure Through it all, come what may Little miracles happen everyday
You CAN and WILL achieve everything you set out to do. Please do not allow where you currently are to discourage from even trying. God believes in you so why not believe in yourself.
Maybe your current situation doesn’t reflect what you envisioned so you feel a need to give up. Please don’t. Work through the uncomfortable moments. God would not have given you the dream if it couldn’t be achieved. You are already equipped to make it happen.♥️ ~ Shaun
Funny how I can write when I’m writing for fun but get writer’s block when I’m writing for class. Ugh! Just submitted an assignment that took much longer than expected. Was stuck on one paragraph for hours. This school thing is more mental than anything else. Trying not to think of how much longer I have left in the program. Taking things one day at a time.
I noticed that it was already after midnight so I went scrolling through my Facebook memories. Came across one of my blogs from my other (basically neglected) page – theresearchdivard.wordpress.com. I really need to start blogging over there at least a few times per year. Here’s the caption that I posted along with the blog.—
Earlier this year, I decided to venture out and pursue some of my lifelong dreams. One thing the pandemic has taught me is that I cannot keep delaying my dreams hoping to pursue them in the future. The future is now. Check out my blog and see where I am headed!
I had written that particular blog for my digital marketing class. Had decided I wanted to go into marketing. Honestly, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I was free from working a 9-5 job and everything that sparked my interest I wanted to pursue. Fast forward to today, I am back where I started, nutrition and public health.
It was cool to venture out and try something different. I still love aspects of marketing but I don’t think I will ever make a career of it.
Didn’t know if I should make this post my Hello Sunday or not, but I guess the title does not matter as much as the message or being obedient. I was about to roll over and go back to sleep when this message kept blaring in my head as if to say this message needs to go out NOW, not later. So I am being obedient.
I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Psalm 34:1
Not sure who needed this message but there it is. Always, always, always praise God.
I owe it to my five year old self to become who I imagined I would and could be, plus more. I must keep going.♥️
Short story…
I was so proud of my afro! I wanted an afro so badly, but my hair was too long and too fine to stand up. So, I cried and cried until my mom gave in. Y’all, against everything she wanted to do knowing she would be scolded by older adults, she cut my hair. She cut my hair so I could have a fro. It was perfect… until I messed it up. Shaking my head
As every kid does on picture day, I played with my hair before picture time. I don’t know why they don’t take pictures first thing in the mornings. If you look very closely to the right of the picture, buried in my fro is a red flower that my mom had placed in my hair. It was hidden by the time I took my picture. Listen, you couldn’t tell me I wasn’t cute and picture ready. Baby, I was clean! Laughing. That meant looking good back in the 70s. Good memories.
Thanks for reading. I pray that you are or have become everything your five year old self imagined you could and would be. Have a blessed day!
The quote I used for my previous blog was the caption that I used when I shared my Wednesday Writings blog on Facebook a year ago. While searching for content for today’s second blog, I decided to actually read Wednesday Writings. Y’all, it was too good not to share.
Although I am providing the link to the blog, I am also sharing it in its entirety.
I’m slowly learning that setbacks, or plot twists – as I call them because I definitely feel like I’m in a movie, a Tyler Perry movie – are designed to make me stronger. I know they are preparing me for something greater.
Yesterday, I experienced one of those “plot twists.” Not going to go into details. However, I will let you know I was on an all-time high where things just seemed to be falling in place, then.. BAM!, everything began to unravel as fast as they had happened. Although I was somewhat disappointed, I didn’t become upset. Instead, I remained calm as everything played out.
Y’all, I’m so thankful for my daughter (one of my gifts from God). I texted her while celebrating and she responded with, “Whatever you desire happens!” Because she’s witnessed God’s goodness over my life. Then, I texted her as things began to crumble. Her response, “It will work out how it needs to.” Y’all, it was the response I needed. Smiling. Proud mom moment.
So, yesterday, I decided not to be the problem solver that I always tend to be, and I allowed God to lead. I’m not going to lie, I wanted to make sense of everything that had happened and find a solution. But God asked me to release the reins and allow Him to lead. And I did.
My birthday theme for this year (Year 49) was Smooth Sailing. I said that I was going to sit back, relax and let the waves take me wherever they pleased. Guess what? I didn’t account for storms. As the storms roll in – and boy do they seem to be coming – out of habit, I want to sit up and take control of the ship. However, every time I get the urge do so, God reassures me that He’s got it all under control. All I have to do is sit back, relax and trust Him. As Bishop T. D. Jakes preached Sunday, I have to remain Steady in The Storm.
Thank you for reading today’s blog. I pray you’re also trusting God to guide you through your storms – because I know I can’t be the only one going through them. Smile.
Be Blessed♥️
Y’all, storms don’t last always. I know they seem to last forever while we are in them, but they don’t last. Sending prayers up for everyone going through storms at the moment. May God grant you peace, patience, and endurance. Just hold on. Your breakthrough is coming.
It’s Shaun’s World
