For the last hour or so, I have been singing Commissioned’s song “Victory.”
The song says—
“But God said. Hold your peace. Vengeance is mine. Enemies will bow down in due time. Hold your peace. I’ll fight your battles. Victory, victory shall be mine. Victory, victory shall be mine. Victory, victory shall be mine. …
Victory’s mine I know. The Bible tells me so. And if I hold my peace, it is mine, indeed. Oh, victory!” Amen
I don’t know about you, but I’m allowing God to fight the battles I can’t. Some things are just above my pay grade.
I pray your day has been great so far. Keep God first, and continue to allow Him to lead and handle those things and situations you cannot. He’s got you!♥️
If you don’t remember anything else, remember this—nothing is ever wasted. Not one thing. Not a single tear. Not a single heartbreak. Not a single setback. Nothing is wasted.
Singing, “Anointing fall on me. Anointing fall on me. Let the power of the Holy Ghost fall on me. Anointing fall on me.” Amen
I mentioned that I was about to rewatch Sarah Jakes Roberts’ message “Unfinished Business ” from that Pentecost Sunday. I had been on the phone with my mom and had missed most of the message.
I also wrote about Leah Chase being laid to rest the day before, and how my conversation with her was connected with the nutrition sessions I was providing for children attending a summer camp. During our meeting in 2014, Chef Leah encouraged me to teach children about where food came from—that it didn’t come from the grocery store but from gardens and farms. So, on the day of her funeral, I was doing just that.
I wrote so much more on that day (I usually write several times a day); however, I ended the day with this—
“Whew! God just blows my mind. For real.”
And He does. Every day He blows my mind. He’s so wonderful. Just to know Him and be in His presence is indescribable.
God, thank You for loving me. Thank You for showing me YOU!
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.♥️
