God’s Plan IS the Best

Have you ever found yourself ‘secretively’ devising an alternate plan just in case God’s plan isn’t the right fit or He’s moving much too slowly? Well, I have. Funny thing is it’s not a secret. He sees us! The best thing we can do is be still and wait because y’all, His plan IS the best plan. ~ Shaun

Hello Sunday

“God knows exactly what you need even before you know you need it.”

I wrote this two years ago. As always, my Facebook memories are so timely. As I shared in last week’s Wednesday Writings, something is changing. Something has changed. I can’t quite explain the feeling because I’m not exactly sure what it is that I’m feeling. I thought it was empty nester’s syndrome but it’s so much more. Honestly, I have never felt this way before. It is not a bad feeling just an uncomfortable one. It’s like I’m entering a different space, a different dimension. Kinda like when you go to a new school or move to a new city or state (or country) and nothing’s familiar. Physically I’m in the same place. However, mentally and spiritually (because it’s beyond mental) something has changed.

Today, I needed this reminder that God already knows what I need as well as where He’s taking me. I have to trust Him completely. My job is to keep showing up. Amen

Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts and feelings. Wishing you a wonderful week!

Keep Showing Up

Keep showing up. No matter how uncomfortable or out of place you may feel, continue to show up. You may not quite understand where God’s leading you, but trust Him, He has a plan. All you have to do is show up.♥️ ~ Shaun

Be Present

How often have you heard, “be present”? Easier said than done, right? For me, it’s not something that comes naturally. I’ve found I have to be intentional about being present. Today my goal is to be present and enjoy life as it happens. Who’s with me? ~ Shaun

Wednesday Writings

Seems as if the atmosphere is shifting and it’s shifting at an extremely fast pace. Maybe it’s only in my world. I do have a lot going on. Well, what seems like a lot at the moment. Most of it is related to transition. I’m transitioning from a full-time caregiver/parent to as needed. At the moment, I’m not really sure how to cope with this awkwardness. Of course I have plenty of things to work on and keep me busy, but socially there’s a void. There’s a void that I’m not exactly sure how to fill. It doesn’t make it any better that I no longer have coworkers or work in a public space. I’m a very social person but even being on social media is different. The connections don’t provide the same feelings as in person connections. They don’t fill the void.

Y’all, I’m just thinking as I write. I know in an hour or two I’ll feel differently. However, at this very moment, I feel alone. Crazy part is, I don’t want to text, call or video chat, I need physical, human interaction. I need to feel their energy (positive only). I’m tired of going to the store just to see and interact with people. Yes, I strike up conversations with random people. I know that I can always volunteer, but I want to be around people who don’t need me. I want to be around people who want to socialize. Even if we’re only watching a movie or in the same space. Guess I need to be more careful about what I put out into the universe because the last place I want to end up in is jail. Lol. I kinda scared myself with that last statement– watching movies or just in the same space with people. Whew! You never know how the universe will answer. Gotta be more careful. Anyhoo.. I really have to figure this one out.

Well, that’s as much as I feel like writing. Thank you so much for reading. Enjoy your day!
