My Journey With God, No. 20

This morning when I heard, “This is bigger than you,” I thought it was meant for me to share as one of today’s posts. So I created a graphic for the message and shared it (see It’s Greater Than You).

Well, I just opened my journal and all I had written was “This is bigger than you.” When I tell you I got chills! Listen, I don’t know what God is doing, but whatever it is it’s bigger than me.

Whew! Chillz!!

Praise The Lord

Good Morning☀️

Since 2020, I have begun my day with reading Psalm 113. It all started when my friend Tara sent me a scripture from this chapter, which led me to read the entire chapter. I’ve been reading it every morning since.

Here is what I wrote—

“Before I forget, this morning’s scripture from Tara came from Psalm 113. I was led to read the entire chapter. This chapter matches what I am feeling at the moment. What I was feeling last night. It begins with “Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord…” Whew!”

Praise the Lord, y’all!

I pray you have a lovely day and beautiful week.♥️

Love you,

Shaun


Psalm 113 (NIV)

1. Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord, you his servants; praise the name of the Lord.

2. Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.

3. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

4. The Lord is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens.

5. Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high,

6. who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?

7. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap;

8. he seats them with princes, with the princes of his people.

9. He settles the childless [barren] woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord.

Peaceful Moments

Lately, I have been more intentional about creating peaceful moments. Surrendering to God and allowing Him to work freely has been the most effective. Also, setting boundaries has helped.

Y’all, we only have one life—one that’s so precious and short. We must take care of ourselves on all levels. Remember, our emotional, mental, and spiritual health is just as important as our physical health.

Wishing you peace, love, and great health. Take care of yourself.♥️

Love you,

Expect Amazing Things To Happen

Good Morning☀️

These past two weeks have taught me that even when my expectations are shattered, I still have to believe great things will happen.

Here’s what I shared two years ago.

The unexpected will be something wonderful.

Although life is unpredictable, I still expect amazing things to happen, and to happen for me. How about you? Do you expect them to happen for you?

I pray that you do.

Have a beautiful day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You Are Amazing!

Here’s a post I shared in 2021. The message about worth is great, but it’s the hashtags for me!

Walk in your worth.

Live in your worth.

You ARE amazing!

And you are. You are absolutely amazing!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Are you walking and living in your worth? I pray that you are.🙏🏽

God, Your Will Be Done

Good Morning☀️

How often have you heard or used the phrase, “Thy will be done”?

This morning I’m saying…

“Thy will be done.”

Not my will, God, but Yours.

“Thy will be done.”

Expecting more than I asked or imagined.

“Thy will be done.”

As Marvin L. Winans said, “I’ve seen You work in others, now I want You to work in me.” —“Draw Me Close/Thy Will Be Done

God’s child.


Wishing you a lovely day and a beautiful weekend.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Late Post

Just noticed I missed sharing an afternoon post!

Here’s something for you…

Love and be loved. You deserve to receive just as much love as you give.

Laugh often. Belly laughs are the best. I had a few today.

Live life to its fullest. Remember, you only have one life, make this one count.


Y’all, time passes so quickly. One day you’re in your 20s and the next you’re in your 50s.

Today, my best friend celebrated her 51st birthday. What a blessing.🙏🏽

I also discovered that today marks the 29th anniversary of the release of the “Waiting to Exhale” soundtrack (November 14, 1995). Boy, do I remember that soundtrack. “Sittin’ Up In My Room” by Brandy was my favorite song back then, followed by “Exhale” (the shoop song), by Whitney Houston.

Good music.

Good memories.


I pray you had a wonderful day, and that you’ll have a restful night.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
