Praise And Worship Break
I tried to save this for my mid–morning post (between 10:00 and 10:30 AM), but I couldn’t hold it. Listen, God has been too good to me for me to hold back my praise. Y’all, He’s so good.
This morning, Fred Hammond’s song, “When You Praise,” has been playing over and over in my head. The song says—
When you praise, when you praise,
There should be a fire in your heart.
Hands up raised, when you praise,
Consuming every part because you know
The GOD we serve will make
His presence known, when you praise,
When you praise
God’s presence is here!
I’m so very thankful for His presence in my life. There is none like it. None like Him. Whew!
That’s all. Thought I’d share just in case you wanted to praise Him too. Don’t hold it in. Praise Him now!
Hallelujah!!
Love you!♥️

My Journey With God, No. 93
I’m built to stand on my own ten. So, I’m good. –Shedeur Sanders
I saw a snippet of an interview with Shedeur Sanders expressing how all his drafted teammates were drafted in pairs or more and had each other to lean on, but he didn’t. He’s in it alone. The clip ended with his quote above—basically, he’s saying he’s built to hold his own.
When I tell you I felt what he said to my core! I’ve spent my entire life feeling like I have had to do things alone—to hold my own. Not because I wanted to, but because I was raised to feel like it was expected of me. When you are the oldest and in charge of everything and everyone younger than you, there is no one else to depend on. You are it! So, you learn to stand alone. I believe this is one of the reasons I have a difficult time expressing emotions like sadness, grief, and even pain. Expressing them makes me feel vulnerable and as if I can’t handle them on my own. BUT… I’m working on it. Little by little, I am beginning to open up and express those feelings, not only in writing but verbally. I am slowly realizing and accepting that it’s okay to let others know when I am not feeling strong. I don’t have to hold my own if I don’t have to.
Y’all, I am so grateful that God continues to reveal areas where I still need healing and pruning. I look forward to meeting the woman I will be a year from now and even ten years from now. (Just another nugget of encouragement I’m leaving myself. Girl, you’re growing!☺️.)
God, thank You for loving me.♥️

Here Is A Nugget Of Encouragement
Good Morning☀️
Be intentional about encouraging others and yourself. Leave little messages for yourself here and there so you will see them when needed. I found the following in one of my posts from 2023.
“It always amazes me how God has me leave nuggets of wisdom and encouragement for my future self. Nuggets that are always relevant for when they are needed. Forever grateful. I’m blessed.”
In the same post, I wrote about finally becoming comfortable with sharing my works and ventures on all my platforms. That I was no longer intimidated or worried about being judged. I used to feel the same way when sharing my writings here. My heart would drop whenever I found an error after publishing my post. No lie. I would literally become sick and dwell on it for hours. Today, I don’t have that problem. If I see an error, I correct it and keep pushing. The anxiety I used to feel is gone.
So, I said all that to say that this reminder was a nugget of encouragement I needed today. Where I was a few years ago compared to where I am now is like night and day. I’m so grateful for how far I’ve come. Even where I was a year ago is nothing compared to where I am today. I’m growing, evolving, and becoming, and I love how it feels. God is so good.
Today, I would like to encourage you to reflect on your growth over the years. Look at how far you’ve come!
I’m proud of you. Now, keep going!♥️
I love you,
Shaun
Memories From May 12, 2017
I was scrolling through my photos and came across pictures from my daughter’s graduation from undergrad school. She was just a baby. Now she’s grown, grown. I am so proud of the woman she’s become.🥰
I didn’t get any good pictures with her, but I’m glad everyone else did.
Great memories.
God is good!
Proud mom.♥️
