You better live! Life isn’t slowing down or waiting for you to catch up. Stop putting everyone else first like they’re more important than you. Listen… and hear me good…No one is more important or more valuable than you are. No one! You’re not being selfish, self-centered or inconsiderate. Nah… You’re just recognizing your worth. Now it’s time you start living in it. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun
Just reached another level of freedom. Talk about priceless…
As I mentioned a few days ago, Zhané’s, “For A Reason,” used to be one of those songs I couldn’t shake for a while. Four years ago, it seemed like that particular song and the message, “Everything happens for a reason,” was showing up everywhere.
October 5th…
October 5, 2019 was my brother’s 46th and final birthday. They say time heals, but the pain of his death still stings. It doesn’t hurt as bad as it used to but it still hurts. A few days after his birthday my mom told me that my uncle, who is now running for a state office, had been rushed to the hospital. All I kept thinking was he couldn’t die. We were the same age and basically grew up like siblings. I said I couldn’t imagine life without him. Little did I know my brother was also sick and was about to pass away. Life…
Here’s a Facebook memory from October 5, 2019. Talk about eerie.
Second message this week about everything happens for a reason. So I must make it today’s social media find. Rest assured God’s got you. He already has everything worked out. Just trust Him. Believe me, I know it’s easier said than done, but it’s something we must learn to do. Y’all have a blessed day.🙏🏽♥️
Wow… No words. Didn’t even know what was coming. I did not smile through the tears. I screamed. I hurt. I felt like my life was falling apart. What a time…
Today would have been my brother’s 50th birthday. Life without him just isn’t the same. I miss him.
Where you begin rarely looks like what you envisioned. Give yourself space, time and grace to grow. Don’t give up. You’ll get there!♥️
I’ll get there, eventually. Growing…
On another note, “Savior More Than Life,” by Kirk Franklin and The Family is still on repeat in my head. It’s been like this for days now. I can listen to music all day but once I turn it off, this song pops back up. Is my spirit on auto-worship mode and this is its worship song? Right now I am hearing that I just need to lean into God a little more as if a protection mode has been activated. Whew, Lord. I’m listening.
Well, this is how my day has started. As I stated above, growth is a process and I am still growing. Some days I have no idea if I am still in seed form or if my leaves are finally growing. When will my flowers begin budding? Sighing. Only time and life will tell. Until then, I guess I will lean into God a little more—get all comfy—and allow Him to love on me. Y’all have a wonderful day.
I’m not a TikTok person. Have never been able to spend more than a few minutes on it. However, tonight I have already spent over an hour watching videos. How did I get sucked in?! Guess it’s one more app I’m going to have to be intentional about staying off of.
Anyhoo… life is good. And according to TikTok, I am doing better than a lot of people. Tonight I have seen so many videos about betrayals, breakups, gossip and everything in between. Y’all, I watched things I wouldn’t normally spend my time on. Shaking my head… Yeah, I gotta stay away from TikTok. Listen, that “For You,” isn’t for me. Sticking with my little group of friends and the people I actually follow. That “For You” will have you all depressed and distrusting everybody. Kind of like those Lifetime movies. Let me go back to YouTube.
Before I end, I want to pray for those who are hurting, those who are heartbroken, those who have been betrayed, those who are broken but pretending to be well, praying for those who are trying to make it from day to day. May God hold them a little closer. Praying He wipes away their tears and heals their hearts.
