Last night, I watched the BET Awards. I’m not sure how others felt while watching it, but this year’s ceremony seemed different—not necessarily different in a bad way, but in an eerily good way. Maybe it was because they were celebrating BET’s 45th Anniversary and I’m old enough to remember what I was doing 45 years ago, or because they celebrated a few 90s music icons who are all around my age. Hmm…
When I think about it, it felt more like a family reunion where one generation was passing the torch to another—and I happen to be in that generation of torch passers. Overall, the entire event was very emotional and felt more significant than past awards shows. If I could sum it up, I would say the mood was, “We are all we’ve got.”
There was one quote that stood out last night that I am still feeling the importance of this morning—
“Don’t let your worry be greater than your faith.” – Tyler Perry
Let that sink in…
Our faith must be stronger than our worries. It’s the only way we are going to make it. It’s the only way we have made it.
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love, peace, joy, and laughter.
On another note …
I will be 52 in two weeks!🎉
Yesterday, it dawned on me that I could have been counting down the weeks from the day I turned 51. My theme could have been “52 in 52 Weeks!”
By the way, besides dropping gems of wisdom, my fav just dropped another hit series on us, “Divorced Sistas”! It’s streaming on BET+. Check it out!
Okay… I’m done. Please take care of yourself and live life to the fullest. Don’t take a second for granted. Not one.♥️
Here’s a much-needed reminder for those of us who sometimes have to sit on our hands to refrain from taking control back from God.
Obedience matters.
Leave everything in God’s hands. Even that email you want to write, or that text you’ve been thinking about responding to. Everything! God’s got this, and He’s got you. He will let you know when your assistance is needed. And when He says move, you better be ready to move! Smile♥️
It truly is a blessing to be spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically well. Not everyone can say this. Not even those who appear to have it all.
I’m blessed.
And…
So are YOU!
Amen
I pray you have a fabulous day and the most wonderful week. May it be filled with lots of love, joy, peace, and laughter.♥️
Listen!! Let me brag on my fav, Mr. Tyler Perry!! Gotta give him his roses!🌹
I have watched every movie, show, and play he’s created (yes…I’m a fan—Lol), but this last movie, STRAW, has to be one of my favorite movies yet! I love his other movies, but this one pulled at my heartstrings. Whew! Y’all know I love my babies, and this one was about a mother’s love for her daughter. Didn’t know I would cry as much as I did. I felt Janiyah’s (Taraji P. Henson—the mother and main character) pain. It was the pain of a mother not being able to properly provide for her baby. It’s a pain I know all too well. Not only personally, but also from watching my mom struggle when we were kids.
And, that ending!
Whew!!!
Y’all, I lost it at the end!
Phenomenal acting by Taraji P. Henson, Sherri Shepherd, and Teyana Taylor. They did their thing!! Queens!
And while watching Straw, I was also watching clips from the red carpet premiere of his new BET+ series that’s coming out next week, “Divorced Sistas.” Y’all already know I’m watching it!!
Listen, besides watching God work, I absolutely love watching Tyler Perry work. Y’all, he’s making dreams come true. To me, it’s his way of giving back, and I’m here for it!
I guess I’ll go to sleep now, but honestly, I’m too hyped to go to sleep.
