Like clockwork. As soon as I opened my eyes I heard, “This is the air I breathe…” Smile
So you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to let the song (“Breathe” by Byron Cage—details in past posts) be. I’m not going to wish it away. Instead, I’m going to embrace it and allow God’s holy presence to surround me and flow through me.
Today, I encourage you to do the same. Breathe in God’s presence. Allow it to surround and flow through you. Believe me, there’s absolutely nothing like it.
Breathe…
Wishing you a wonderful day. May it be filled with lots of love, laughter, joy, and peace.♥️
I really didn’t know what to title this post because I didn’t want to do a third part of “Air I Breathe.” But here I am still writing about the song I’ve been waking up to, hearing throughout the day, and falling asleep to for a week now. Today’ I’m sharing the lyrics to the entire song. Maybe once I get it out, I won’t hear it anymore. Don’t get me wrong, the song isn’t a bad song or annoying. Honestly, it’s actually quite soothing. But I would really like to hear something else.
Here are the lyrics—
Breathe by Byron Cage
This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe Your Holy presence Living in me
This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe Your Holy presence Living in me
This is my daily bread This is my daily bread Your very Word Spoken to me
And I, I’m desperate for you And I, I’m lost without you
This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe Your Holy presence Living in me
This is my daily bread This is my daily bread Your very Word Spoken to me
And I, I’m desperate for you And I, I’m lost without you And I, I’m desperate for you And I, I’m lost without you And I, I’m desperate for you And I, I’m lost without you
This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe
So the song title is actually “Breathe.”🤷🏽♀️ As I mentioned before, the song is really soothing. It’s a nice, slow-paced worship song. However, I would really like to hear something else if it’s God’s will. I had to add this caveat because I don’t want to speak against God’s will. Amen
Anyhoo…
This is all I have for now. Remember, it’s Self-Love Saturday. Be sure to do something extra nice for yourself.♥️
***I wanted to add this. Just thinking about how I wrote, “I don’t want to speak anything against God’s will.” Y’all, I truly respect God’s will. I truly honor Him. He’s too good to me for me not to. Amen
I believe the only way any of us manage to press on after devastation and adversity without losing every single ounce of hope is by finding something good to hold on to. We focus on the good.
As we remember those who lost their lives on this day 25 years ago and those who continue to lose their lives daily due to hate and fear, let’s remember that there’s still good in the world. Sometimes it’s hard to see, but goodness is still here. The day that we stop believing in the goodness of humankind is the day hope dies.
We must keep hope alive.
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day and beautiful weekend.♥️
This morning, I spent a little time traveling down memory lane (scrolling through photos on my phone😊). It’s incredible how quickly time passes when so many experiences fit into certain timeframes. What I once considered “passing time” was anything but passive. Even though I couldn’t see it then, life was always moving. I was always moving. Now I see how different events and experiences shaped who I am today. It’s truly amazing. God was definitely working in my life.
Here’s a post I shared five years ago. Looking back, I can truly say my best days have far outweighed the bad. Feeling blessed.
I know sometimes you may feel as if you’re standing still and life just isn’t moving. But it is definitely moving, and in your favor (I truly believe this). Just take a scroll down memory lane and intentionally look for the good, only the good. I promise you, you’ll see how life, in some shape, form, or fashion, is so much better than before.
Remember—only look for the good.
This is all I have for now. I pray you have a wonderful day! May it be filled with lots of love, peace, and laughter.♥️
I shared the message above on this day two years ago. I wrote about how my life changed after I forgave someone who had really hurt me. Even though I said I had forgiven them, part of me hadn’t. For years I held on to the pain, but it wasn’t until I forgave them in my heart that my life began to change. Y’all, it was the release I didn’t know I needed.
Today, I encourage you to forgive those who have hurt you. Release the pain and them to God. Once you do, great things will begin to happen. Listen, true forgiveness does set great things in motion.
As I said in 2024, “Try it!”
On a lighter note…
Who’s tried WordPress’ new podcast feature?! It popped up after I made a post for Nutrition with LaShaundreaB. After trying it there, I decided to try it with my posts under Shaun’s Daily Inspiration (links below). Although you can edit conversations, I’m not brave enough to try it with the posts I share here because I don’t know what that conversation would look like.🥴🤭
Here are the mini podcast episodes. Both are under four minutes. I really like this feature!
Before I end, I would like to invite you to watch Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Again? on Netflix. We have been waiting for the final movie for years. Side note: I’m not sure why the movie was released on a Wednesday, but hey, that’s above my pay grade. I’m just glad we got one more movie. Can’t wait to watch it!😊
I’m going to end here. Wishing you a wonderfully blessed day.♥️
Don’t act surprised. You already know who you are. You’ve known it forever. What began as a tiny spark as a child has now grown into a full-blown flame that’s ready to be unleashed. So stop resisting the flow. Instead, embrace it and allow it to carry you where you need to go.
When you take that leap of faith… that giant leap of faith where there’s no going back, know that God is with you. Every step you take, He takes, unless you leave Him behind. And please, whatever you do, don’t leave God behind. You cannot afford to move without Him.
Something beautiful is happening in the atmosphere. This week alone, I’ve witnessed people step up, walk in their callings, and receive blessing after blessing. Y’all, it’s been so beautiful to watch. The testimonies alone have left me smiling and sometimes weeping happy tears. God is so good! Be careful not to miss the good things happening around you and in your life as well. Believe me, the blessings are there. You just have to be open to recognizing and receiving them.
Again, God is so good!
This is all I have for you today. Have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love, laughter, peace, and happiness.♥️
Yesterday evening, I had the pleasure of celebrating my friend Ms. Raylawni’s 85th birthday with her. Y’all, she had so much fun! I am so grateful and blessed that God brought us together. I’m so thankful for divine connections. I love my friend.
This past Sunday, we spent the day together laughing and reminiscing about the “good old days,” which was actually me listening to her tell stories about her amazing life. We also watched the Roberta Flack documentary. Y’all, Roberta was a fascinating human being! I was so in awe of her story. Did you know she produced music under the name Rubina Flake? They described Rubina as her alter ego, saying she became a bolder person as Rubina.
I can’t express enough how grateful I am for life. I’m so grateful and blessed that God’s allowed me to live it as I have. To have witnessed and experienced all I have through the eyes of others.
Y’all, life is meant to be lived!
Sitting here thinking about one of Ms. Raylawni’s friends, Ms. Cee, who I spent an evening with last week. Now, her story is one for the books. She was a professional dancer in her younger years, and later a studio owner. The way she described her life was like that of a Hallmark and Lifetime movie. A little love and lots of drama.
Please allow me a moment of gratitude:
God, thank You for loving me! For allowing me to witness Your greatness in real time. I do not take Your love, goodness, or kindness for granted. I know that I am blessed—truly blessed🙏🏽
This is all I have for now. Listen, if you want to truly live, sit and stay in God’s presence. He will give you experiences that will satisfy your soul. Yeah…His experiences are soul deep!
