A New Life

In a few hours, I will have another nephew! A leap year baby!! He will be the newest member of our family since my mom passed. I’m excited. Can’t wait to see his little face.

It’s funny how the mind works. Two things came to mind when I wrote the title, a scripture and a song.

The scripture: Revelation 21:5 (NIV)

He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

The song: Boyz II Men’s “On Bended Knees” (the part where they sing about a new life)

I want a new life
And I want it with you
If you feel the same
Don’t ever let it go
You gotta believe in the spirit of love
It’ll heal all things
It won’t hurt anymore

Welcome to my world! I just love how my mind works. Keeps me entertained, for sure.

The message – God is making everything new.

Wish my mom was here to celebrate our newest member. It’s funny that about a month or so before she passed she told us my sister was pregnant, and my sister denied it. My mom only smiled. Well, a few months after she passed we found out my sister was pregnant. She knew. Smiling

Wishing you wonderfully, blessed day.♥️

Love you,

The Rebirth: Prepare For The New

I love my journal entries just as much as, if not more than, my Facebook memories. On December 22, 2014 I wrote:

God is getting ready to do something miraculous!! This revelation has got me praising God and really leaving it all alone. It doesn’t matter what the facts are, faith and trust are all I need. I have a story to tell.😊 God is awesome!!!

Twenty years later- the rebirth!! He said I’m restoring it all plus more because YOU ARE worth it!
🙌

Perhaps the shift that is happening is so much more than I originally thought. It is a rebirth. It is the beginning of something new.♥️

Be prepared. God is birthing something new.

This is my Year50…

Hello October! (Hello Sunday)

Hello October!

October means fall is officially here and the holiday season is just around the corner. It also means the end of the year is near. I pray that you have accomplished most of what you set out to accomplish this year or you are a least working on it. Honestly, I am not even sure what I said I would work towards this year. Let me check and see….

I checked. Smiling. Not even sure how it’s happened—this has been one crazy year—but I am doing exactly what I set out to do. The only answer I have is “It’s ALL God!”. When God leads, even when we are not completely focused, He’s focused. He always gets us where we need to be. If you didn’t already know that’s called love, and I am soooo glad He loves me.

I pray everything is working out as you planned. Maybe it doesn’t look exactly like you envisioned; however, when you really look at how things are going, you know it’s actually going as planned. Remember to look beyond the superficial. Yeah… I bet you are right on track.

Wishing you a glorious day! Love you.♥️ ~ Shaun

New day. New week. New month. New beginnings. New blessings.

All Things New… Again

Hello. Hello. Hello!!!

Praying you had an amazing week. As you know, mine was pretty awesome! Anyhoo… it’s back to reality and the rest of these assignments that are due this weekend. Ugh!! Gotta love life.

Here’s a Facebook memory from last year, September 29, 2022:

God will make ALL things new.♥️

Loving and living in all things new. Loving this space I’m in. Smiling.

That’s it! Wishing you a fabulous weekend. Love you!♥️

Hello Sunday

Today’s a new day and the first day of a new week. Whatever goals we failed to accomplish last week can be accomplished this week. Don’t sweat it!

This week let’s remember to:
– consult God first
– follow His guidance
– give ourselves grace if we falter
keep going

I am a living witness that everything will work out according to God’s plan.

Transparent moment…

I really wanted to end my encouraging words with – “We may not always understand His plans, but know that they will always work out in our favor.” But every time I wrote that or something similar like – “whatever His plans might be” – I would erase it. Didn’t want to taint the encouragement with any notion of unpleasantries. Well… life and God’s plans are not always pleasant. Honestly, sometimes they are downright hard to comprehend and they hurt.

Exactly one year ago, my mom was admitted to the ICU and was in a coma for almost a week. Nothing was the same afterwards. She suffered for months before she passed. Honestly, it’s so hard to see the good in any of it other than our bond became stronger. But why couldn’t it have happened differently? Why couldn’t the same thing have happened while she was better? We could have done so many more things together. UGH!!!

Even though part of me wants to encourage others and myself, the other part of me is sad and hurting at the moment. Y’all, I miss my momma! All I want to do is scream!!!!

Yeah… this is how I’m really feeling today. I do pray that you have a blessed day and an awesome week. Be blessed.♥️

P.S. I am going to be okay. I know God’s got me.

I love you, Momma.
