Leave Your Worries With God

Good Morning☀️

Eight years ago, I was listening to The Winans and Anita Baker’s “Ain’t No Need To Worry.” The song says (Lyrics: LyricFind)—

Ain’t no need in worrying
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.

There’s a fear of night fall,
when darkeness comes and covers all the day.
Sometimes we feel pain, 
but there are things that we can change, just pray.

Ain’t no need to worry,
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.

Troubles come, but they do past,
heartaches, hurts, oh but, they don’t last always.
Sometimes we feel pain, 
but there are things that we can change, just pray.

Ain’t no need to worry,
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.

In the morning, the morning,
it’ll be all over in the morning.

It’ll be all over in the morning.

Makes no different how dark the night,
if you trust in God, it’ll be alright;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).

It makes no difference how long the day,
trust in God, He’ll make a way;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).

Weeping will last, but only for awhile,
but when the sun shines, you’ll wear a smile;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).

And I say, thank you Jesus,
in the presence of all those who hear my voice;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).

In the morning, the morning,
it’ll be all over in the morning.

It’ll be all over in the morning.

Ain’t No Need To Worry” by The Winans & Anita Baker

I needed this reminder that trouble doesn’t always last and that God is with us even when we’re experiencing pain. He’s a good God.


I pray you have a lovely day.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Drown Out The Noise

The song of the hour is Smokie Norful’s “I Need A Word.” The song says (Lyrics: Musixmatch)—

Life seems so loud
I’ve been too proud
So, Lord, what do I do?
I just need a word from You

Oh, I need a word
Tell me which way to turn
I need a word
Tell me which way I should go
I need a word

To tell me just what to do
Please, send a word
God, I need to hear from You
Drown out the noise
Let me hear Your voice
I need a word from You

Drown out the noise so you can hear God’s voice—which is what I’m finally doing because there’s absolutely nothing I can do at the moment.

Yes, drown out the noise. God is speaking.

Guess what He’s saying?

Trust Me.

I got you.

Smile.♥️


Love you always,

Shaun

Be Grateful

Singing Walter Hawkins’ “Be Grateful.” The song says (Lyrics: MusixMatch)—

God has not promised me sunshine
That’s not the way it’s supposed to be
But a little rain mixed with God’s sunshine
A little pain, makes me appreciate the good times

Be grateful, be grateful

God desires to feel your longings
Every pain that you feel, He feels them
Just like you, but He can’t afford to make you feel only good
Then you can’t appreciate the good times

Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful
Because there’s someone else who’s worser than you, be grateful
Because there’s someone else who’d love to be in your shoes
Be grateful, God said it would never, never forsake you
Be grateful


The rain definitely makes me appreciate the sunshine.

Grateful and blessed.♥️

Happy Feelings

On this date eight years ago, I was listening to “Happy Feelin’s” by Frankie Beverly and MAZE—

Happy feelin’s in the air
Touching people everywhere
Plenty love and everything
Listen to the people sing, ooh

Singing—“Feel that happy feelin’”

God is good.

Praying your day has been good thus far. Enjoy the rest!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Funny Memory

When I tell you my kids, especially my son, know me so well. A few days ago, my daughter was watching the Luther Vandross documentary (if you haven’t seen it yet, you need too, it’s so good!) and was texting me every few minutes because she was so in awe of his talent. I just laughed because I thought she knew. I thought everyone knew how talented and gifted he was. Lol. Anyhoo… seeing this memory makes me smile. Luther Vandross was the man! And whenever I get in a funk, I usually listen to a Luther of JG (Johnny Gill) song.🥰

Yeah… funny memory.

Right now “Never Too Much” is playing in my head; however, it’s not my favorite Luther song.

Enjoying Life

Last night I shared how the song, “Shower Me With Your Love,” randomly started playing in my head. I hadn’t heard it in years, probably decades. That’s not a song that people just play everyday. Well, after that song ended, the next was “I Do” by my favs, Bell Biv Devoe (BBD), which was followed by “Smile Again,” and then Jodeci’s “Forever My Lady” and “Stay.” When I tell you I felt like a teenager/young adult in love. Those were the days! Then, just a little while ago, I saw that Whitney Houston’s “How Will I know” was released on this day in 1985.

Listen, I just love my life!! Despite the craziness, love is beautiful and music is life. I’m sooooo loving this space I’m in.

God is good.

Beyond Blessed♥️
