When we’ve done all we can, there’s only one thing left to do, and that’s to trust God. This should’ve been the first thing we did, but we’re human, right? Smile
I’m so thankful for God’s love, mercy, and grace. For another opportunity to trust Him to do what only He can do.
Today is the last Sunday of my birthday month, and I’ve decided to relax a little more than usual. Not in a rush to do anything. Today, I’m taking it easy and going with the flow.
This morning, I took my time reading through my Facebook memories. Here are a few random memories that made me smile. I’ll start with June 29, 2019.
June of 2019 was a pivotal month for me. It was the month my divorce was finalized. It wasn’t until my birthday, maybe a couple of days afterwards, that I celebrated being FREE. That year’s theme was “46 and Free🦋.” I had waited so long for it to happen—years. And then, I was free.
This was a second chance at life. One that I didn’t take lightly. A decision I am still grateful I made.🦋This was me celebrating my newfound freedom. Enjoying the water and good food.This is a picture of my babies using my location to pull up on me. I was so surprised.😂 I just love them.🥰🥰
Maybe I’ll take a ride down to the coast. That’s if I can let this bed go.☺️
Here are a few more memories from June 29th.
The flowers, the pinks, the gold, the look, the quote—all made me smile. I’m forever a princess at heart. Even when I’m ninety, I’ll be a princess.🌸💗☺️Ralph T, Rizz, Rizzo! The New Edition king that’s often slept on. Johnny Gill is usually my go-to; however, for some reason, on that day, I decided to listen to Ralph. Yep… this memory made me smile. NE4Life✨Yes, I’m God’s vessel. His glory radiates through and from me.☺️✨
Great memories!
Favor, overflow, and grace. This is Year52.🎉
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love, peace, joy, and laughter.♥️
This is what a lifetime friendship and sisterhood looks like—Shaun & Shawn. We’re both aware that God placed us together. A divine relationship, indeed.
I almost forgot to save a screenshot of the Facebook story before it disappeared. The first picture was taken on my birthday in 2016, and the second was taken this past March.
We met through our grandparents. Her grandparents lived across the street from my great-great-grandparents. Her mom had brought her from Detroit to Mississippi for a visit and the rest is history. We have never lived in the same city for more than a year (4th/5th grade year); however, we have always kept in touch. I’m so grateful and blessed God placed us together.♥️
So far, I’m really enjoying 52. I know it sounds crazy, but it already seems different—in a great way.
After a week of being catered to, I finally realized that my babies are grown and have their own lives and their own money. My siblings also have their own lives. My dad and stepmom have each other and are making it the best they can together, which leaves me to do my own thing. I feel like I have this revelation often, but I uncover a newfound freedom with each revelation, and it’s beautiful.
This is Year52…
The year of favor, overflow, and grace.
I pray you had a wonderful day. May your evening be restful and your dreams be beautiful.♥️
I finally looked at my Facebook memories from past birthdays. Here are a few that made my heart smile.
Facebook Memories:
My brother was creating digital art 14 years ago. He created this for my birthday. I miss him.🕊️Even when it doesn’t seem beautiful, it’s beautiful.Forever grateful.🥰My beautiful momma. This morning, I had a hard time writing my first post because I was missing her so badly. I wish she could be here with me. I’m so glad I have memories like this. They’re my treasures.♥️Six years ago, I celebrated my birthday with kids at a summer camp. My heart was full.
Now, I’m getting ready to go make more memories with my son. Today is his day with me.☺️
“I just want to praise you forever and ever and ever. For all you’ve done, done for me. Blessings and glory and honor they all belong to you. Thank you Jesus for blessing me!”
That’s exactly what I feel—blessed. My theme for Year51 was “Beyond Blessed,” and this year has lived up to that theme. This is why I need to be mindful of the theme I set for Year52. Smile
Blessings and glory and honor all belong to God. I truly cannot express it enough, I am absolutely blessed—Beyond blessed!
FOUR more DAYS!!🎉
I’m enjoying my time with my baby girl. She always makes me feel so special. I just love being in her presence. You dote on your babies when they’re little ones, but I never imagined feeling the same about an adult child. Of course, it’s not exactly the same. I doubt if she even knows how I feel. She’s worried about making sure I enjoy my birthday weekend when all I want to do is spend time with her. I just love her.🥰
Anyhoo…
I pray that you have a fabulous day and beautiful weekend! May it be filled with lots of love, joy, peace, and laughter. You deserve it!♥️
