My Journey With God, No. 76

Good Morning☀️

Slowly but surely, everything is coming together. Last week, someone contacted me about doing a nutrition presentation for their church. Without hesitation, I said “Yes,” and yesterday evening, I did it.

It may not seem like a big deal, but to me, it is. You see, I did it under my nonprofit, which took me over three years to launch. I kept trying to wait until everything was perfect and in place. Then, several months ago, I introduced it to the public. Right now, my main focus is on promoting it whenever I can. As I’ve said before, it’s my baby.

Y’all, God is so good. I can’t stress it enough—I’m truly blessed.♥️

One Step At A Time

Good Morning☀️

You only need to take one step at a time. As I said five years ago, relax and trust God. You’ll eventually get to where you are destined to be.♥️

Love you,

Surrender, Trust, and Obedience

Good Morning☀️

Whatever I need, God will provide. (Reread this until it sinks in.)

Here’s the secret—

Totally surrender every worry to God.

And…

Trust Him completely.

Matthew 6: 25-34 (NIV) says—

25. “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

26. Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

27. Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life ?

28. “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.

29. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

30. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?

31. So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32. For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

34. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

In addition to the other two, I’m adding this last one because many of us struggle with it, but it is so key—Be obedient—obedience matters. When God instructs you to do something, whether to be still or to move, do it without delay.

This is all I have at the moment. I pray that you have a great day and a wonderful weekend. The South is expecting some pretty bad weather this weekend, so please keep us in your prayers.🙏🏽

Hmmm…🤔 How should I end this one? Been playing around with my “I love you” endings.


I love you to heaven and back!♥️

Breathe… You Got This!

Many days will come with challenges—some big and some small. When you find yourself facing one, remember to take a moment to breathe.

Breathe…

You got this!♥️

I love you always,

My Journey With God, No. 74

Y’all, the struggle is real!

Do I choose what I want now?

Or…

Do I choose what I want most?

Will my choice make my 100-year-old self proud or look back with regrets?

Again, the struggle is real.

Life is real.

Only time will tell which I chose.

Allowing God To Lead

That’s how I ended my journal entry on March 10, 2020—“Allowing God to lead.”

Whenever I feel the urge to take control, He gently reminds me to allow Him lead.

Remember to allow God to lead. He knows where He’s taking you, and believe me, it’s somewhere AMAZING!

I love you much!♥️

Shaun

God’s light shines through me.
