Listen

Be still and listen.
Be quiet and listen.
The answer’s there.
Just listen.

Once you’ve received your answer, it’s on you to accept it or not.♥️

Learning and growth is lifelong. It seems like every day I’m either learning something new or accepting what I have already known (growth).

I tend to talk to God a lot; however, I don’t always take time to listen. Or, I hear Him, don’t like the answer, and keep talking. Either way, He always provides answers.

Here’s what I’m learning:

  • If I listen the first, second or third time (yep.. I’m stubborn at times), I won’t have to keep repeating the same things.
  • Sometimes the answers will take me outside my comfort zone. I have to move while afraid, uncertain and uncomfortable.
  • God’s answers can contradict reason and logic. Yes, I’m learning to stop trying to make sense of things.
  • God will confirm His answers. I will say that nowadays He confirms them much faster than before, or not. Maybe the confirmation has always been there but I was not open to receiving the answer(s).

Going forward, my goal is to be intentional about listening, accepting and acting on God’s answers.

Still Standing

Smile. You’re still standing!

Yes.. After all you’ve been through, you are still standing. You survived!♥️

This year has taught me that I cannot keep running from the storms, the pain, the disappointments, the heartaches. No, I have to stand in them and through through them. Sometimes I feel like I’m getting too old for this. I’m too tired. Then, God reminds me that He’s strong when I’m weak. All I have to do is lean on Him. He’s brought me through before and He’ll do it again. BUT.. I have to go through it. Running from it only delays the breakthrough. It delays progress, which delays the dream.

Standing!

Ask and Believe

Doubt is very LOUD! Sometimes it’s so loud that before we even ask, we’re doubting. If this is the case, why ask? Why waste time asking if we don’t believe?

If you truly want what you’re asking for – BELIEVE! Yes, doubt is loud but belief is more POWERFUL! Can’t you hear CeCe Winans singing, Believe For It? Smile. I can.♥️ ~ Shaun

Keep Striving

Things will happen in life that will make you question whether pursuing your dreams, goals and purpose is even worth it. Guess what? It is! As long as you’re breathing, keep striving for the desires of your heart. DON’T GIVE UP!

Today, a few Facebook memories popped up that reminded me of my dreams, goals and purpose. I can’t give up. Yes, I’m tired. Like.. really tired. But I can’t give up. I have to see these things through.

One of the memories was of General Colin Powell’s passing. Oh how I wanted to meet him. I just knew I would. Same with Kofi Annan. I keep thinking that maybe if I was intentional about it, it could’ve happened. Life. Remembering Colin Powell🕊♥️ ~ Shaun

Wednesday Writings

This morning I’m singing —

Hold on – just a little while longer
Hold on – just a little while longer
Hold on – just a little while longer
Everything will be alright

Pray on – just a little while longer
Pray on – just a little while longer
Pray on – just a little while longer
Everything will be alright

God is working and I’m holding on. I know better days are ahead. This time I’m going to cherish them a little bit more. Smiling

By the way, the premiere of Tyler Perry’s Sistas Season 5 is tonight! Y’all know I get excited about Sistas. It would be so awesome if I could watch and chat from the comfort of my home. Remaining hopeful.

Well, that’s all I have for you today. Please enjoy your Wednesday!
