Hello Sunday

Good Morning.☀️

Y’all, I am finally starting to socialize more, and lately it’s been with my fellow veterans. This year, I have attended at least four events, including a small social I attended last night in honor of Veterans Day. Typically, I attend one every other year. However, this year is different—maybe my age has something to do with it (Giggles). This year, I am finally fully embracing my veteran status. I realize I belong to a very special community, and it’s a community I look forward to serving, as well as serving with.

Here’s a picture of me with one of my favorite veterans and friends, Mrs. Raylawni Branch. She’s a retired Air Force nurse and a pillar in our community. I always have a great time when we’re together.

Mrs. Raylawni is a fascinating person. Fun facts, she loves to travel and she taught herself the Korean language by watching Korean movies. Beautiful being.🥰

So far, my Veterans Day weekend has been pretty good. Not sure what I’ll do today. However, tomorrow, which is Veterans Day, is when the real fun begins. People treat us so well on Veterans Day. Smiling

Are you a veteran? If so, what are your plans for tomorrow?

Mine—Breakfast at IHOP, lunch at Olive Garden or Chili’s, and I’m not sure about dinner yet.☺️

Well, that’s all for now. It’s raining good (which is why I’m posting a little late) and I am about to turn over and go back to sleep.

Love you!♥️

My Journey With God, No. 13

It’s Saturday, and I’m up early, starting my day with worship. The song I’m listening to at the moment is The Soul Seekers’ “It’s All God.”

The song says—

“I’ve got a bed for my head; shoes for my feet. I’ve got breath in my body, and if I was just anybody I’d say it’s all good; but I know better, its all God. Yeah, but I know better, it’s all God.”

Y’all, it’s all God.

Forever grateful and beyond blessed.🙏🏽

God’s child.♥️

Stronger, Wiser, and Blessed

I was not built to break. Graphic originally created and shared on November 8, 2023.

Every experience brings strength, wisdom, and blessings.

Today’s song is “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength,” by the late and great songstress, Whitney Houston. The song says—

“I crashed down, and I tumbled, but I did not crumble. I got through all the pain. I didn’t know my own strength.”

Dedicating this song to everyone who’s been through some really dark times, and to those who may be currently experiencing some. You are so much stronger than you know. God’s got you!♥️

Love you,

My Journey With God, No. 12

Today, I am feeling so much better. Yesterday, I allowed myself to feel, which I needed to do. I also allowed myself to be comforted my the ultimate comforter in the world, God. Yesterday, I leaned into God and allowed Him to dry my tears and soothe my heart and soul.

Today, I am doing the same. I’m curling up in His arms and allowing His love, peace, and comfort to surround me.

I am loved.

I am protected.

I am covered.

I’m God’s child.♥️

My affirmation for today is—

I have the patience and capacity to wait for God’s promises. Everything will happen at its appointed time. Trusting God.

I pray you have a blessed day and wonderful Veterans Day weekend!🇺🇸

Love you,

Shaun
