Today has been a rather oddly good day. That’s about the only way I can explain it. So odd, yet good. I could see God’s hand in everything, even things I found strange, uncomfortable, and somewhat challenging. I could see God.
Feeling blessed. Yes, God’s hand is in everything, and everything is in God’s hands.

I’ve been singing “Worthy” by Elevation Worship all day. The song says, “Worthy is Your name, Jesus. You deserve all praise. Worthy is Your name.” Amen
I pray you had a wonderful day. You deserved it!♥️
“There is power in the name of Jesus. There is power in the name of Jesus. There is power in the name of Jesus. To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain. To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain.”
Then, the song goes on to say—
“There’s an army rising up. There’s an army rising up. There’s an army rising up. To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain. To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain.”
If you didn’t know, or in case you’ve forgotten, there is power in the name of Jesus. Yes, in his name, and his name alone. And it’s breaking strongholds and chains. If you haven’t used it in a while. Use it!♥️
Woke up with Whitney Houston’s song “Who Would Imagine a King” playing in my head. Here are the lyrics (courtesy of LyricFind).
Mommies and daddies always believe That their little angels are special indeed And you could grow up to be anything But who would imagine a king
A shepherd or teacher is what you could be Or maybe a fisherman out on the sea Or maybe a carpenter building things But who would imagine a king
It was so clear when the wise men arrived And the angels were singing your name That the world would be different ’cause you were alive That’s what heaven stood still to proclaim
One day an angel said quietly That soon he would bring something special to me And of all those wonderful gifts he could bring
Who would imagine, who could imagine Who would imagine a king
Who knew Jesus would be king? Just imagine how His childhood playmates must’ve felt when they found out He was the Messiah. We read and tell the “Christmas Story” as if it was a fairytale, but it was a real story. Growing up, Jesus had friends and siblings like everyone else. He was human. However, He was also God’s only son and would eventually become our savior.
Today, I am grateful that God chose to send a piece of Himself to the world. Someone who left a blueprint on how to love, show compassion, and hope for a better, brighter future. We are blessed.
**P.S. For those who received the email of the blog I posted then deleted, I’m good. Instead of hiding my grief from my daughter, I opened up. It was hard for me to do, but I did it.🙏🏽
“The greatest gift you can give is your love, presence, and undivided attention. YOU, my friend, are the perfect gift. Merry Christmas!♥️” –Shaun’s Daily Inspiration, December 25, 2023
I’m still awake. Trying to go to sleep but my spirit is singing…
“In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. We have the victory. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. Satan you have to flee. Tell me who can stand before us when we call on that great name. Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus. We have the victory.”
Victory is mine. Victory is yours. We must remember who we are and Whose we are—God’s children. He’s got us!♥️
“In Times Like These,” is once again stuck in my head. Not sure what it means. Trying not to read too much into it. Intentionally blocking the negative. However, I am human and this human side of me is wondering if my anchor is as secure as I believed it to be.
Hmmm…
Giving it to God, but also heeding the message.
That’s all. Praying you have a wonderful night!♥️
By the way, my show, Tyler Perry’s Sistas returns tonight! Can’t wait to see what factitious drama happens tonight. I believe we could all use a break from the real craziness that seems to be happening. Shaking my head.
The song, “In Times Like These,” is stuck in my head again so it must be significant for this moment in time. Please be sure, be very sure, your anchor is secured in Jesus. That is all.
There was a time when I was unsure if I could worship God more than a few times a week. Didn’t think it would be possible to give Him my all. Never wanted to be seen as someone who was “ too religious.” Had spent the majority of my teenage years being called a “church girl.” So, once I was grown and on my own, I wanted to distance myself from that image. Didn’t want to be seen as a “Holy Roller.” Well, the more I tried to distance myself, the more I was drawn back to who I was.
Now, here I am fully embracing that part of me. I am a child of God, and I am honored to worship Him.
I should be asleep right now but the song, “In Times Like These,” keeps playing over and over in my head. I can hear my mom singing—
In times like these you need a Savior In times like these you need an anchor Be very sure, be very sure Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock
This Rock is Jesus, Yes He’s the One This Rock is Jesus, the only One Be very sure, be very sure Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock Lyrics: MusixMatch
Jesus is my rock.
Okay… That’s all. Good night for real this time.♥️
Thank You, Lord Thank You, Lord Thank You, Lord I just want to thank You, Lord
I am so grateful and thankful for life. Thankful for another opportunity to get life right. Thankful for another chance to love and be loved. Thankful for my babies, family, and friends. Thankful that we are all still here and doing well.
My daughter is home so I plan on spending as much time as I can loving on her before she leaves. She got here yesterday and we have already had a few deep discussions, listened to Cowboy Carter, sung, danced, and laughed. Hadn’t realized how much I missed her. So blessed to have her home. God is good.
Y’all, because of Jesus, I am who I am today—undefeated and blessed. It’s a wonderful thing. Amen
Here’s the current song that’s playing in my head that I can’t seem to shake. Commissioned really need to do another tour. I missed the last one. I vaguely remember them doing something during the pandemic. Not sure if I watched it or not. Probably should have done a Verzuz with the Winans. Anyhoo… we need a Commissioned and Winans revival, soon!
Who Do Men Say I Am
Side Note: I’m taking a break from social media (my main ones—IG, Facebook and X) so y’all, YouTube and TikTok are it! I know…traded three for three. Lol.
Seriously, I am trying hard to wean myself off the others. Too many black holes, not rabbit holes, to get sucked into. We shall see how long I can stay away. Hopefully a while. Just needed to cleanse my mind. I promise not to post too many random thoughts here. Smile
