Today, we celebrated my youngest nephew’s first birthday. He’s our leap year baby! His parents decided they would celebrate his birthday on February 28th each year until the 29th rolls around again.
Last year was a roller coaster ride for him and my sister. My sister had to be induced a week early due to preeclampsia. A few days after giving birth, she began experiencing shortness of breath, so she went to the emergency room. Well, without consulting with OB/GYN, the ER doctor diagnosed her with acute heart failure, released her (said there was nothing he could do), and referred her to a heart specialist. The next day, she called her doctor and was readmitted for preeclampsia. It wasn’t heart failure. Talk about a frightening and emotional time! After receiving the proper care, she was released a few days later. A couple of days after that, the baby was diagnosed with jaundice.
The first few weeks of his life were very eventful. Now, here we are a year later, and everyone’s healthy. God is good.♥️
I kept him while my sister was in the hospital. He was only a few days old. Before then, I hadn’t kept a newborn since my son was born. What an interesting time.Today!! He’s one!
Can’t you hear Shalamar singing “Second Time Around”? Well, I surely can. Smile
Well, this isn’t about a relationship, at least not the kind they were singing about. This one is about my second term as my association’s president-elect/president. Y’all, everything is finally making sense. I now understand why I’ve been given a second opportunity to serve.☺️
Although today’s the last day of Love Month, it’s not the last day to love and be loved. Love is an everyday occurrence. We wake up and fall asleep to love. It’s in our hearts and souls. Its warmth and joy radiate from us daily. It’s who we are.
We are LOVE.♥️
I love you to the moon, stars, and other galaxies and back!
Below is one of the posts I shared on February 27, 2019. As mentioned in the caption, others don’t have to see or know what you’re doing. What’s important is that you’re doing something—that you are giving back. Always give back.🙏🏽
Here’s a screenshot of a post Lewis Howes shared on this day a year ago. The message—It gets better. Life gets better. One day you’ll find the joy and peace you’ve always longed for.♥️
In 2023, I shared, “Your obedience to God unlocks doors.” Although this is true, I believe our obedience should be more important than any blessing we may receive. It’s our obedience that strengthens our relationship with God. It shows Him that we not only love Him, but we trust Him despite what He can do or give.
Today, my advice is to focus on building a relationship with God. It’s more important than the blessings and unlocked doors. Both will come in due time.
