Do You Realize Who You Are?

You may not yet realize who you are; however, others already know. As they say, “They been knew.” Now, it’s time that you know and move forward accordingly. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

Shaun’s Daily Inspiration: March 23, 2023

Two things to always remember –

  1. WHO you are.
  2. WHOSE you are.

You were not created to blend in. You were created to stand out and make a difference.♥️

You are God’s child.

Never Give Up On Yourself

Okay… I promise this is the last post for today. Smile

This social media break is going somewhat well. I do not miss mindlessly scrolling; however, I do miss seeing all of the great things happening in everyone’s lives. Y’all, God is truly doing some amazing things. With that being said, it’s now time for me to focus on what God is doing in my life, as well as where He is taking me. Yes, it’s my time.

Here’s a TED talk Sheryl Lee Ralph gave almost a year ago, “A 3-Step Guide to Believing in Yourself.” It’s short, but powerful. It was a much needed reminder for me that I should never give up on myself or my dreams. I must keep going!

Hope it inspires you as much as it has me. Love you!♥️

Dimensions

I know many of you may question some of the things I post about my interactions with God. How He reveals and confirms things. But y’all, it’s so real. He gives me exactly what I need when I need it. Now, Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts preached this message months ago. I watched it live. However, the message didn’t hit the same then as it is hitting today. Today, it’s right on time. And yes, it just happened to be the first video on my feed so I clicked it. Needed it!

So, I’m just going to sit it right here. It may or may not be something you need to hear.

Wishing you a blessed day!♥️

Dreams

Just woke up from another disturbing dream. Not going to call it a nightmare this time; however, it was definitely disturbing.

I am a dreamer. Have always been one. Now, I will admit that most of my dreams are kind of weird and be all over the place, but they are rarely concerning. In my lifetime (since childhood), only a few dreams have been disturbing/concerning, and the majority of those dreams have already come to pass. Yes, I dreamt about things before they happened. Now, the dreams that used to come every so often are happening more frequently. When I tell you these dreams have had me praying more. Whew!!

Short story:

A few days ago, I witnessed a dream I had several years ago (2018) come to pass. The crazy part is, a few days before the dream came to pass, I shared it with my daughter. Had come across it while reading past journal entries. We laughed and joked about it thinking, ain’t no way that would ever happen. Well… it happened.

When I tell you that dream had my daughter and I shook! Had me feeling like I was in some crazy movie. Had I not written it down or shared it with her, I swear no one would’ve ever believed me.

I’m going to try to go back to sleep. Praying my dreams are more pleasant, or I don’t dream at all. Praying God covers and protects us against everything that is trying to destroy us. No weapon formed against us will prosper. Amen

No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness isfrom Me,”
Says the Lord.

Isaiah 54:17 NKJV

Stay safe, covered, and prayed up. Love you!♥️

The Last Three Weeks

The last three weeks have been mentally and physically exhausting. Like, for real. On most days, I know I was on autopilot—operating without even thinking, doing what I have been programmed to do since childhood (take charge). At least, that’s how it felt. Here’s an overview of what happened:

My sister had a healthy baby boy. Both left the hospital healthy (so we thought). Two days later, she was in the ER diagnosed with postpartum heart failure, then sent home to follow up with a cardiologist. Two days after that, the baby had jaundice.

Before my sister could follow up with the cardiologist, she was back in the ER. This time they consulted with her OB doctor and was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia. Which was more accurate. She stayed in the hospital a few days and was released after her vitals and bloodwork were back to normal.

That was my first hospital stay since my mom passed.

While all of this was happening with my sister, my stepmom was having health issues, which were getting worse. She was sick while my sister was in the hospital, but I couldn’t be with both. Had to decide which needed me the most. It was a lot.

Well, last week…last Wednesday to be exact, my stepmom had to have emergency surgery. I stayed with her from Wednesday until Sunday. She was discharged yesterday, but she still isn’t well. It will probably be several weeks before she’s moving around again.

So, that was my last two to three weeks. Oh… and I was still working during all of this. So very thankful for remote work and the ability to make my own schedule. These are truly luxuries that are often taken for granted. Even being single with grown children is a privilege; however, it is also taxing at times. As my daughter advised me, before I jump up and do anything else, I need to be still and take care of myself, first. And I am doing exactly that.

That’s all I have for you today. Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday.

Be Blessed♥️
