All We Have Is The Present

I cannot believe we are almost one full week into 2024! Time is doing what it does—moving forward without a care in the world. It does not care about feelings, life, peace or chaos. Nope. It just moves right along. Which brings me to today’s Facebook memory—staying present. I believe when we stop fighting time life seems to flow so much more effortlessly.

Facebook Memory: January 5, 2023

Let’s not be so consumed with the past or the future that we miss out on today’s blessings. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not promised. All we have is now.♥️

Staying present represents our respect for time.

Today, I challenge you (doing the same for myself) to stay present and enjoy the gift of now. Have a wonderful day and beautiful weekend!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Drown Out the Noise

In the words of Smokie Norful—

The noise of my day
The depression that steals my voice
The confusion that arrests my life
So I can’t even make a choice

Life seems so loud
I’ve been too proud
So Lord, what do I do?
I just need a word from You

Drown out the noise
Let me hear Your voice
Oh Lord, I know need a word from You

Song: I Need a Word

Breathe. God’s got you.♥️

Get Some Rest– It’s Handled

Here’s the song that is currently playing over and over in my head:

Ain’t No Need to Worry by The Winans (featuring Anita Baker)

Ain't no need in worrying
what the night is gonna bring,
it'll be all over in the morning.

There's a fear of night fall,
when darkeness comes and covers all the day.

Sometimes we feel pain,
but there are things that we can change, just pray.

Ain't no need to worry,
what the night is gonna bring,
it'll be all over in the morning.

Troubles come, but they do past,
heartaches, hurts, oh but, they don't last always.

Sometimes we feel pain,
but there are things that we can change, just pray.

Ain't no need to worry,
what the night is gonna bring,
it'll be all over in the morning.

In the morning, the morning,
it'll be all over in the morning.
It'll be all over in the morning.

Makes no different how dark the night,
if you trust in God, it'll be alright;
(it'll be all over in the morning).

It makes no difference how long the day,
trust in God, He'll make a way;
(it'll be all over in the morning).

Weeping will last, but only for awhile,
but when the sun shines, you'll wear a smile;
(it'll be all over in the morning).

And I say, thank you Jesus,
in the presence of all those who hear my voice;
(it'll be all over in the morning).

In the morning, the morning,
it'll be all over in the morning.

It'll be all over in the morning.
Lyrics by LyricFind

Whatever is troubling your mind, your heart, and/or your soul, let it go. Release it. Know that God has taken care of it all. It’s done. Now, get some rest.♥️

Stress Be Gone

You got this!

I know it may not feel like it at times but you are equipped to handle whatever comes your way. God would not have allowed it if He did not believe you could handle it. I am not telling you what I have heard but what I know to be true. So, stop stressing over whether you can do this or not, and know that you can. Under God’s covering, you can handle anything that’s thrown your way! Again, stop stressing and stay covered.

Love you!♥️
