This year, I’m dead set on making overthinking a thing of the past. It’s either a go or no go for me. Time is too precious and much too short to continue wasting thinking of a million scenarios of how things could go wrong when I could be making moves towards things going right.
It’s Self-Love Saturday, y’all! What do you have planned? Me… I’m about to be a little extra… just a little.🤭
My daughter surprised me with a birthday sash!! Now why did she do that when she knows she’s easily embarrassed by my shenanigans?😅😂 But I’m going to be good.
Wishing you a wonderful Saturday! Remember to do something extra special for yourself.♥️
Listen. Never underestimate the power of God, nor the power of prayer and praise. Keep praying. Keep praising. In good times, as well as bad. It’s easy to slack off when things are good, but those are the prayers and praises that keep you strong during the storms. They keep you going!
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)
16. Rejoice always,
17. Pray continually,
18. Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Rejoice, pray, and give thanks. (Repeat)
Today’s the final day of my birthday month. I truly enjoyed my celebrations. Smiling as I think about my time with my babies. Just thinking about our conversations and their smiles makes my heart sing. I love them so much.🥰🥰
I pray you have a wonderful day and fabulous week! May both be filled with love, joy, peace, and unexpected favor (claiming this for myself too☺️).
When we’ve done all we can, there’s only one thing left to do, and that’s to trust God. This should’ve been the first thing we did, but we’re human, right? Smile
I’m so thankful for God’s love, mercy, and grace. For another opportunity to trust Him to do what only He can do.
Today is the last Sunday of my birthday month, and I’ve decided to relax a little more than usual. Not in a rush to do anything. Today, I’m taking it easy and going with the flow.
This morning, I took my time reading through my Facebook memories. Here are a few random memories that made me smile. I’ll start with June 29, 2019.
June of 2019 was a pivotal month for me. It was the month my divorce was finalized. It wasn’t until my birthday, maybe a couple of days afterwards, that I celebrated being FREE. That year’s theme was “46 and Free🦋.” I had waited so long for it to happen—years. And then, I was free.
This was a second chance at life. One that I didn’t take lightly. A decision I am still grateful I made.🦋This was me celebrating my newfound freedom. Enjoying the water and good food.This is a picture of my babies using my location to pull up on me. I was so surprised.😂 I just love them.🥰🥰
Maybe I’ll take a ride down to the coast. That’s if I can let this bed go.☺️
Here are a few more memories from June 29th.
The flowers, the pinks, the gold, the look, the quote—all made me smile. I’m forever a princess at heart. Even when I’m ninety, I’ll be a princess.🌸💗☺️Ralph T, Rizz, Rizzo! The New Edition king that’s often slept on. Johnny Gill is usually my go-to; however, for some reason, on that day, I decided to listen to Ralph. Yep… this memory made me smile. NE4Life✨Yes, I’m God’s vessel. His glory radiates through and from me.☺️✨
Great memories!
Favor, overflow, and grace. This is Year52.🎉
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love, peace, joy, and laughter.♥️
This is what a lifetime friendship and sisterhood looks like—Shaun & Shawn. We’re both aware that God placed us together. A divine relationship, indeed.
I almost forgot to save a screenshot of the Facebook story before it disappeared. The first picture was taken on my birthday in 2016, and the second was taken this past March.
We met through our grandparents. Her grandparents lived across the street from my great-great-grandparents. Her mom had brought her from Detroit to Mississippi for a visit and the rest is history. We have never lived in the same city for more than a year (4th/5th grade year); however, we have always kept in touch. I’m so grateful and blessed God placed us together.♥️
I slept in this morning. Then, just as I was about to reprimand myself for slacking, God reminded me of His gift—His peace and blessings. This is the life He’s blessed me with. He’s given me this time and space to move as I please—time to shamelessly focus on me and only me.
And you are. YOU, my friend, are blessed.
As I mentioned last year, God’s blessings are like His hugs and kisses reminding us that we are His children. And I am taking it all in. I’m surrounding myself with His love, peace, and blessings.
I needed the extra sleep. I needed to wake up to the sunlight, not before it appeared. Usually, I would apologize for the late post, but not anymore. No more apologies. No more over explaining. I’m finally living in the space God’s graced me to be in, and I’m loving it.
This is Year52.🥰
I pray that you’ve allowed God’s hugs and kisses to find you. There’s nothing like being graced with His blessings.
This is all for now. Wishing you a magnificent day!♥️
So far, I’m really enjoying 52. I know it sounds crazy, but it already seems different—in a great way.
After a week of being catered to, I finally realized that my babies are grown and have their own lives and their own money. My siblings also have their own lives. My dad and stepmom have each other and are making it the best they can together, which leaves me to do my own thing. I feel like I have this revelation often, but I uncover a newfound freedom with each revelation, and it’s beautiful.
This is Year52…
The year of favor, overflow, and grace.
I pray you had a wonderful day. May your evening be restful and your dreams be beautiful.♥️
Seriously, as I mentioned in my previous post, I feel rejuvenated. Like I woke up as a different, lighter person. The past week with my babies was the best. No complaints at all.
Favor, overflow, and grace in full effect!🥰 God is good.
Here are a few pictures from yesterday. My sisters will be here for a few hours this afternoon. Can’t wait to see them!💗
My daughter sent me a flower cake. It’s so pretty!🌺🌸🌼
It’s Shaun’s World
