Celebrate In Advance

Acknowledge where you are, but celebrate where you are going. Where you are is only temporary. Brighter days are ahead.♥️ ~Shaun

Celebrate in advance.

Side Note: Don’t let social media fool you. You are not the only one going through something. Everyone is struggling with something, whether it’s visible or not. Where you are is only temporary.

Keep Climbing

You are so very close. Keep going!

Distractions will come.
Setbacks will happen.
Never stop climbing.

Rest when needed.
Crawl if you must.
But never stop climbing.

You are so close to your dreams. Keep climbing.♥️

Beyond Blessed

Whew!!! My God!! Thank you!!!

“Beyond blessed,” is what I shared on this date last year, and it is exactly what I am feeling today. Feeling blessed, thankful, and grateful. Words can’t even begin to describe how thankful I am for the love, kindness, and support we received from thousands to help us get Marley back home. Y’all, please don’t let the negativity fool you, there is more good in the world than evil. Let’s embrace the good. Love you!♥️

Overthinking

I needed this reminder today because that is exactly what I have been doing lately—overthinking. Last night I told my daughter that I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t turn my mind off. Seems like I have been trying to solve everyone’s problems lately, and none are directly mine. Yesterday, I could feel my body changing. I had become so stressed and tense. Had to force myself to do something other than work or think. Decided to put down my phone and watch “Annie,” the Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhané Wallis one. I needed that bit of relief. I’m promising myself to do better today.♥️ ~Shaun

Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. I’m always thinking… often overthinking. Always trying to figure things out or solve a problem. Life is a mystery. We cannot predict what will happen next. We can only assume what will happen. Very few things in my life, have happened as expected. Honestly, I don’t believe anything has ever gone exactly as planned or imagined. So, today, I plan to stop overthinking and just let go. Totally trusting God.

Praying and trusting God to do His job because it’s not on me to do. I must remember my place. God’s got everyone I am concerned about. Trusting Him.🙏🏽

It’s Not Over

I can hear Maurette Brown Clark singing, “It Ain’t Over.”

The song says:

“It ain’t over until God says it’s over. Keep fighting until your victory is won.”

Keep fighting until your victory is won.

Love you!♥️

Humility

Humility is defined as freedom from pride or arrogance: the quality or state of being humble. (Merriam-Webster)

Humility is the key to happiness and success. It allows God to move freely. Remember, humbleness is where ego ends and God begins. Stay humble.💙

Please keep the prayers going.

Thank you!♥️

Trust the process.

Wishing you a lovely day and an amazing week!♥️

Hello Sunday

Amen 🙏🏽

Hello Sunday…

Yesterday I said I would fill you in on what prompted my post, Thankful for God’s Mercy and Grace. Well, without going into too much detail, my sister had to be hospitalized after developing postpartum preeclampsia. By yesterday afternoon, all of her vitals and labs were back to normal and she was able to go back home to her babies. It was a very long and scary week.

Now, I am waking up to news that a friend’s 17 year old daughter is missing. Whew!! I don’t even know how to process this one. This is her only child.

Also, now that I am finally awake and alert, I remember my son waking me up last night saying he had gotten a ticket on his way home from work. I looked to see if I had missed his call, but hadn’t. Y’all, I was exhausted by the time I got home. Once I hit the bed, I was out.

When I tell you I am so grateful he made it home safely. He’s been pulled over before for no real reason. They made him get out the car and everything. Ended up telling him he was stopped because his tag was hanging (it wasn’t). From then on, I told him to let me know when he left work or to call me on his way home. He didn’t do either.

Please keep my friend in your prayers. She’s very reserved and conservative and stays to herself. Her daughter and husband are her life. I can’t even begin to imagine what she’s going through.

Life… It does what it does. Believing God for another miracle. Amen

Always remember, God has the final say. Be blessed.♥️ ~Shaun

Hang in there. God is working.
