I pray you have a wonderfully, blessed Self-Love Saturday. Remember to treat yourself kind and do something extra special for yourself. You deserve it!♥️
I have been 53 years old for exactly two weeks now. Woohoo!!🎉
So do I feel any differently?
Ummm… A little.
I feel a little more settled. A little more relaxed. Definitely breathing easier and taking things in stride. Not moving too fast and not going too slow. Everything is moving at the right pace.
Everything is good.
This is Year53…
I pray you have a lovely day. Be good to yourself.♥️
I have been singing “Trust in God” by Elevation Worship since I woke up this morning. The song says—
I trust in God, my Savior The one who will never fail He will never fail I trust in God, my Savior The one who will never fail He will never fail
As long as you’re alive, never ever give up on your dreams. Keep pursuing them because so many never got the chance to do so before they died.
But YOU—you’re still here!
You’ve been blessed with another opportunity to see your dreams come true. Keep going as if you will see them happen tomorrow. If you can’t quite figure out where to begin, ask God for guidance and trust Him to lead the way.
Beginning my day and this new month with gratitude. God, thank You for allowing me to see another blessed day. Thank You for giving me 30 days of a beautiful birthday month. I know that I am loved and truly blessed.
As I enter the month of July, I’m speaking life and blessings over everything I touch and every space I enter. God, may Your presence and glory always precede me and remain for others to remember long after I’ve left their presence. Amen
As YOU enter July, remember to leave your worries behind. Know that God has you covered and It All Works Out.
God has you covered. Trust Him.
Wishing you blessings on top of blessings this month. Enjoy your day!♥️
Woke up feeling grateful and blessed. So many didn’t wake up this morning, but I did, and I don’t take this lightly. I’m so grateful for another opportunity to be a display of God’s glory. Y’all, I’m truly blessed.🌺
Stopped to take a quick birthday selfie before I headed home. I had a great weekend with my baby girl! I got to love on her, and she loved on me. Again, I’m so blessed.🥰
Today, if you find yourself wondering about what the future holds for you, I encourage you to trust God’s Guidance, Timing, and Process. He knows what your future holds because He already has it planned.
Now, breathe…
Wishing you a wonderful day and beautiful week. You deserve both!♥️
Why does God put so many desires and dreams in our hearts only for us to have to choose which ones to fulfill in our lifetime?
Long, long, long sigh…
If you’ve been following me for at least three years or more, you may have noticed that I don’t mind pivoting to follow wherever my passions take me. I truly don’t.
As I look back over my life, I have always followed some passion of mine. From the military to culinary to dietetics to research to advocacy—haven’t even mentioned my creative side—I’m forever following a passion. It’s like I can’t stop. Ugh…
This morning, I’m sitting here trying to figure out how to connect all of my passions. And y’all, I have MANY! Every single passion I’ve ever had still lies within me. I mean everysingle one.
I must find a way to connect them all.
Yesterday, my daughter’s fiancé took me to tour his new workplace. The last company he worked for had a phenomenal space—it was so nice. I loved the warm and inviting atmosphere. However, this new company has the kind of environment I always longed to work in. From the outdoor spaces to the break areas to the artwork and creative spaces, I was on cloud nine. It wasn’t just the space, but the technology aspects of it all. Y’all, I’m a low-key techie and their setup made my day.
Side note: Since eighth grade, I’ve been in love with coding and technology. Even before then, I was designing flying cars and preparing to live in outer space. I was so ready for this era. At least I thought I was.😅
During the tour, I took a moment to sit in that space, to be in that atmosphere, to take it all in.
There has to be a way for me to do everything I desire to do. I just know there is! God wouldn’t have put all of this in me just for it to remain inside of me. Laughing because He knows I love a challenge, and I believe this one is going to be my biggest yet. I have to create something that will incorporate all of my passions, desires, and dreams.
Here are a few pictures from my tour. I just loved the art. And they had Scrabble games, books, puzzles, and creative spaces everywhere. Y’all, I was on cloud nine, for real.
My kind of world…
Anyhoo… here’s today’s inspiration— In God’s Strength— “God’s strength will take you much further than your own.”
Today, I’m tapping into God’s strength for real because ain’t no way I’m leaving this world without doing every single thing I desire to do!!
This journey of mine is an adventure indeed, and I’m loving every moment of it.
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.♥️
Above is the post I made not to long ago. It’s my answer to one of the Daily Prompts. I’ve been awake for a couple of hours. Nothing’s wrong, just preparing for the day/week. I’ve finally learned to work with my internal clock not against it. I’m my most productive during the wee hours of the morning, so why keep fighting it? Smile
I’ve been thinking a lot about a theme for my 53rd birthday year (Year53). I always set one right before or on my birthday. However, I believe I’m not going to set one this year. I’m just going to let Year53 be what it will be.
Anyhoo…
I’m about to rollover and go back to sleep before my real day gets started. But before I do, I just want to thank God for life—for my life. I am truly blessed. Amen
It’s Shaun’s World
