Today, I am soaking up every ounce of God’s goodness. I am taking in every smile, positive interaction, fond memory, and ounce of love I receive and holding them closely. I’m living in this moment, the here and now.
Thank You, God, for all Your blessings. Thank You for giving me life and surrounding me with Your love. Thank You for covering me with Your peace, protection, mercy, and grace. All honor, praise, and glory belongs to You. Amen
Above beyond blessed.🌺
I pray that you have one of the most amazing self-love Saturdays yet. Be sure to disconnect from the negative and surround yourself with positive thoughts and energy, only. Your mind, heart, soul, and spirit will thank you.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
**This may or may not be my only post for today. Today, I’m just vibing with the flow of life. Take care.🌸
I slept in again! Maybe my body is trying to tell me something. Hmmm… I guess it’s time to practice what I preach and focus more on self-care. Even though I still feel like I’m in my 20s mentally, the reality is I’m getting older. And if I want to see a healthy 100, I need to start making changes now. Which means, I must figure out how to manage my first post. I love writing when I wake up. I always want my “Good Morning” to be an actual first of the day greeting. Anyhoo… we shall see what I decide to do.
On another note, I woke up singing Kirk Franklin and the Family’s song, “Let Me Touch You.” The song says—
When I’m down Let me touch You When I’m lonely Let me touch You When I’m discouraged Let me touch You Like I never have before Lord, I need You more and more, Jesus Let me touch You and see if You are real
Such a powerful song! I don’t have to touch Jesus to know that He’s real. I know He’s real. However, lately, I’ve been asking God to show me Himself. I see him in the tiniest of things, but I want to see Him in bigger things where I can say, “Baby, THAT WAS GOD!!!!” And I don’t want it to come in the “I was about to get hit by a car and God saved me” or “I was on my deathbed and God brought me back to life” way. In other words, I don’t want to experience a tragedy for me to say, “That was God!”. No, I want to see Him while I enjoy life.
I thought today’s Facebook memory from three years ago (June 6, 2022) went well with the rest of the post, so I decided to share it here instead of posting it later. Y’all, that rose was perfect. I received it at an event I attended several years ago. The theme of the event was “Beauty for Ashes.”
Now, don’t get me wrong. I am extremely grateful for everything I have and for the way God continuously blesses and loves me. But I desire to see more of Him. And I don’t believe there’s anything wrong with me asking that of Him. I am His child, right?
Okay… I believe I have written enough. I don’t want to publish this any later than I already am. I pray you have a beautiful day and weekend. May they be filled with love, joy, peace, and laughter.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
**I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t mention that my fav has another new movie streaming on Netflix! It’s called Tyler Perry’s STRAW, starring Taraji P. Henson, Teyana Taylor, and Sherri Shepherd. I can’t wait to watch it. Check it out!
I didn’t know it at the time, but the Pause I took not too long ago, was necessary. I needed to be still and calm (that’s where the breathing helped—see my last post “Pause and Breathe) so I could hear God’s voice.
Several days ago, God gave me a message. I wrote it down because it was pretty good. However, I never considered He was giving me instructions to follow. Today, He sent the same message but in a different way. This time, I received it, but it was only after I was still enough to understand that His words were instructional.
Sometimes, God gives us instructions that seem so minute that we barely recognize their significance. I am so grateful that He loves us enough to send the message(s) multiple times and in multiple ways.
I’m listening God. I am forever grateful for you patience, love, and grace. I am truly blessed.♥️
For those who don’t know, I LOVE celebrating my birthdays, and I usually celebrate the entire month of June. So, if you don’t like people being extra, you may need to mute me because I tend to celebrate any and everything. Lol. Listen, if a butterfly happens to cross my path and I smile (all it takes is a smile), baby, that’s God’s gift to me and ONLY me.☺️ Yeah… prepare to be sick of me.
I love life.
I love my birthdays.
And I absolutely love my God.
Now that I’m getting older, every day and every year I’m alive feels more and more special. Just knowing that I am still here, and that I am surrounded by love, makes my heart sing praises to my God. Father, I thank You.🙏🏽
The theme I chose for Year51 was “Beyond Blessed,” and I am blessed. I am truly, truly blessed. I’m not sure what this coming year’s theme will be. I still have a few weeks to come up with something. Until then, I hope you’ll stick around and celebrate my month with me. And to everyone celebrating a birthday in June—Happy Birthday Month to YOU! Let’s celebrate!!🎉
I pray you have the most amazing day! May it be filled with pure, unconditional love, indescribable peace, and an abundance of joy. YOU deserve it!♥️
