Whatever you bury will resurface at the oddest times.
That’s my personal message for today.
Y’all, God’s timing is quite interesting. When you open yourself up to be worked on, God will confront you with issues you thought you had defeated, only to discover they were buried.
All I can say is what I seem to be saying a lot of lately—
You are exactly where you are supposed to be at this moment in time… EXACTLY where you’re supposed to be. Stay present, patient, and grateful. Everything will happen at the right time.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Here’s what I shared several years ago—
It’s always best to trust God’s timing and His plan.
If you are experiencing difficulties and challenges right now, remember they are only temporary. Where you are today is not where you are meant to stay. Keep your head up. Things will get better.
The song I’m currently hearing is “Optimistic” by Sounds Of Blackness (Lyrics: LyricFind). The song says—
When in the midst of sorrow You can’ t see up when looking down A brighter day tomorrow will bring, oh
You hear the voice of reason Telling you this can’t never be done No matter how hard reality seems Just hold on to your dreams, yeah
Don’t give up and don’t give in Although it seems you never win You will always pass the test As long as you keep your head to the sky You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky Face toward the sky Be optimistic
Listen, you will always win because God’s got you!♥️
We may not always understand what God is doing or why He has us go through certain things. However, I have learned that, at times, He gives us glimpses of possible answers. Yesterday, I received one of those glimpses. It was a glimpse of a promise, of a dream God had given me ages ago. All He ever asked of me was to trust Him completely, be obedient, and follow His lead; and I did—not always perfectly, but did (and I’m still doing).
Yes, yesterday, I received a much-needed glimpse at what God is doing and where He’s taking me. Of course, I’m not privy to the entire picture (I’ve learned to accept this), but what I see is enough to let me know I am heading in the right direction and that my dream is still intact.
Today, I am thankful for connections I made decades ago that have somehow come full circle (one of the speakers from yesterday’s event was someone I met during undergrad over 20 years ago). Thankful for recent connections (made within the past few months) that have encouraged and inspired me to push beyond my limits. Everything that has happened has been done in a way only God knew I would undoubtedly receive—from the people He placed in my path to the opportunities I have been given. I am forever amazed at how well He knows me! I know…He’s God. Smile
Y’all, I can’t stress it enough how I really did need for yesterday to happen, and to happen the way that it did. Even what I considered hiccups, needed to happen.
I just love the way God loves me.🥰
Thank you so much for reading and following my journey to becoming the person God’s created me to be. I pray you have a wonderful Sunday and extraordinary week!♥️
Earlier, I was somewhat in panic mode because things weren’t happening as I envisioned. They actually started to fall apart last night, so this morning the pressure felt even worse. That’s when I heard, “Breathe. You’ve got this, and God’s got you.” Hence, the reason for my previous post. I knew if I needed a little encouragement today, someone else probably did too. Well, after posting the message on all my platforms, things began to fall in place!!! No lie..cap or whatever you want to call it! Yes, I’m emotional right now. Y’all…
When I tell you God is soooooo good! So good! I am truly blessed. Will share the rest of my testimony later. Today is We Are Thriving’s (my nonprofit) formal debut. It’s live and active!
Beyond Blessed♥️
This is only the beginning. I took the first step—left perfectionism behind—and I’m trusting God to do the rest. 🙏🏽
Here’s a motivational message I listened to this morning. When I tell you God’s word is always on time. It was exactly what I needed, and I didn’t even have to search for it, it just happened to pop up on YouTube.☺️
“Winning Against Yourself”, words by Maya Angelou (not sure of the authenticity (with AI and all), but it’s very motivating.
“We are all connected” is the hashtag I used with my caption about purpose on November 1, 2022. Here’s that caption—
Facebook Memory: November 1, 2022
“Purpose is not self-centered or self-serving. Purpose is so much greater than us.
I believe our true purpose in life is to fulfill another’s need. There’s something that we provide – different things for different people – that allows them to fulfill their purpose.”
Embrace your purpose. It’s so much bigger than you!♥️
