Y’all, let me tell you how MY God works! Listen! I am forever in awe of Him!!! When I tell y’all He loves me!
Okay… so I was just about to share an entirely different Hello Sunday. Had written about a few things that were on my mind. Nothing deep but some self-reflections I was having at the moment. Then, as I was finishing up, I was reminded of one of the gems I found in my Facebook memories this morning. Baby, when I tell you I immediately stopped writing! Here’s the gem I found. Didn’t know I would need this message so soon.
Facebook Memory: October 15, 2018
Good Morning! A friend shared this with me, so I’m sharing it with you. Everyone’s not in your corner. Some people can’t wait to see you fail. But God’s got you!
Discernment is so important, as well as listening to that still small voice.
Listen, I was definitely about to share a few of my weaknesses. As the song says, “God blocked it!” Whew!
Y’all, we really have to be careful about what we share and with whom. For years, I have freely shared my stories. I have had one crazily, adventurous life and I love sharing it. With this being said, there are certain parts that I only share with people I feel I can trust, or with those I believe would benefit from those experiences. I mean, other people’s experiences have helped me so why wouldn’t I use mine to help others. Well, I am finally learning to listen to that still small voice. When it says be quiet, I hush.
It wasn’t until recently that I finally realized that people will actually use your weaknesses against you. I know I sound naive but I honestly did not believe this to be true. I thought because I would never use someone’s weaknesses against them, they wouldn’t use mine against me. Again, I am learning.
That’s all for today. So glad God stopped me before I shared my other blog. Again, it wasn’t anything deep but something that did not need to be shared. At least, not at this moment. Wishing you a wonderful, peaceful day.
Ain't no need in worrying what the night is gonna bring, it'll be all over in the morning.
There's a fear of night fall, when darkeness comes and covers all the day.
Sometimes we feel pain, but there are things that we can change, just pray.
Ain't no need to worry, what the night is gonna bring, it'll be all over in the morning.
Troubles come, but they do past, heartaches, hurts, oh but, they don't last always.
Sometimes we feel pain, but there are things that we can change, just pray.
Ain't no need to worry, what the night is gonna bring, it'll be all over in the morning.
In the morning, the morning, it'll be all over in the morning. It'll be all over in the morning.
Makes no different how dark the night, if you trust in God, it'll be alright; (it'll be all over in the morning).
It makes no difference how long the day, trust in God, He'll make a way; (it'll be all over in the morning).
Weeping will last, but only for awhile, but when the sun shines, you'll wear a smile; (it'll be all over in the morning).
And I say, thank you Jesus, in the presence of all those who hear my voice; (it'll be all over in the morning).
In the morning, the morning, it'll be all over in the morning.
It'll be all over in the morning. Lyrics by LyricFind
Whatever is troubling your mind, your heart, and/or your soul, let it go. Release it. Know that God has taken care of it all. It’s done. Now, get some rest.♥️
On October 12, 2022, I began dedicating the first 30-45 minutes of my day to God. As soon as I opened my eyes, I would express my gratitude for life, love, peace and grace. Then, I would recite a few personal prayers I had written down. Lastly, I would listen to or read something inspirational. This had/has been my daily routine for a year. At least, that was my intention.
Well, over time I noticed that the time I spent with God slowly decreased. I found myself making compromises by spreading parts of my morning routine throughout my day. However, I was already doing this—watching inspirational videos and praying throughout the day—so it wasn’t like I was adding more to it. You see how I tried to justify my actions for taking away that first 30-45 minutes? Funny, but definitely not funny. That time I had dedicated to God was and is so important.
It wasn’t until a couple of hour ago that I realized that I had skipped that time all together. I said a few words of gratitude when I woke up, but that was it. I felt terrible when I finally realized what I had done. This didn’t happen all of a sudden. As I mentioned earlier, it happened over time. Every time I decided something was a little more important or I could just do it another time, the less time I actually spent with God.
After realizing what I had done this morning, I immediately stopped what I was doing and acknowledged Him.
Question: Have you ever found yourself too busy to spend quality time with God? Be honest.
Y’all, I just had an “Aha” moment. Quality time… Not just any old time, but quality time. Yesterday, I wrote that quality time was my primary love language, yet I have not been spending quality time with God. What was supposed to be quality had become a true routine, almost task like.
It’s time that I get back on track. I cannot afford to lose this relationship I have built with God. It’s too important. If you have found yourself putting your relationship with God second, third or last, I encourage and challenge you to change that immediately. Your relationship with God is vital!
