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.♥️
I shared the following image and quote six years ago (June 8, 2019).
Here’s what I shared last year when I reposted it:
Progress has definitely been slow, but continuous. Had a few setbacks but I kept going, and will keep going.
That was last year. I’ve learned that as long as I know I’m moving forward, other people’s opinions and thoughts don’t matter. I’m moving and operating in God’s timing, according to His plan, and within His purpose.
Know that progress is progress. Stay focused on what God is doing in YOUR life and keep moving forward. You got this!♥️
12. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
13. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
The song I’m hearing as I write is Whitney Houston’s “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.” The song says—
I thought I’d never make it through I had no hope to hold on to, I I thought I would break
I didn’t know my own strength And I crashed down, and I tumbled But I did not crumble I got through all the pain I didn’t know my own strength Survived my darkest hour My faith kept me alive I picked myself back up Hold my head up high I was not built to break I didn’t know my own strength
I thought I’d never find my way I thought I’d never lift that weight I thought I would break
You know how sometimes you need a release and don’t know you need one. Well, I guess that time is now because the tears are flowing. I have no idea where they’re coming from. At this moment, I’m exhaling and leaning on God’s strength. I’ve been leaning on my strength for much too long and I’m tired. It’s funny because I hadn’t realized that I was doing it. I thought I was relying on God’s strength, but for a while it’s been mine. Today, I’m letting go. I’m releasing everything into God’s hands. Amen
Whose strength are you relying on? Yours or God’s?
I pray it’s God’s. Rest in Him and let Him be your strength.
I pray you have an exceptionally blessed day. May God grant you peace, love, and joy.♥️

The quote is true. Grace will take you places hustling can’t. I’m so grateful to be covered by God’s grace. So grateful for the doors God’s grace has opened and is opening.
I wish I knew what I was thinking at that very moment. I wonder if I had caught a glimpse of my future. I was in New Orleans getting ready for Day Two of my culinary experience. Actually, it was a culinary media training where I was being trained to speak in front of a camera while preparing food. Even though I still haven’t done much with the training, it was a great experience, and I met some wonderful people.
I really do love my life.
I didn’t write anything in my journal on that day; however, when I returned home, I wrote:
“New Orleans was definitely a great professional experience. I came back with a sense of worth. I felt like I could actually accomplish my goals. I now have a different outlook on life & my role in this universe. I am destined for greatness & there’s nothing wrong with it. Thank you God for helping me realize my potential.”
Wow! So many gems in that statement. What an interesting, roller coaster ride of an eleven years it has been, and now I’m here. Here in this time and space. What will I do with it?
Well, that’s all for now. I pray you have a great day and wonderfully blessed week.
Last year I wrote, “God’s guidance is strategic. Trust Him and trust His plan.”
God has a purpose and plan for our lives that even we aren’t privileged to know. He only asks that we be obedient and trust Him.
So, that thing He’s been telling you to do—yeah.. you know, that thing—do it! I don’t care how small or insignificant it may seem or how big and challenging it appears—do it. It’s part of God’s plan.
Follow God’s guidance. He knows where He’s taking you. Trust Him.
I pray you have the loveliest of days and a beautiful weekend.♥️
