The Best: God’s Best

Good Morning☀️

Even though it may be tempting, now is not the time to settle for anything less than God’s best.

Can’t you hear Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers singing “The Best Is Yet To Come”? Well, I surely can. Smile. The song says—

God’s gonna really blow your mind
He’s gonna make it worth your time
For all of the trouble you’ve been through
The blessings doubled just for you

Guess what?
The best
Is yet to come …

You ain’t seen nothin’
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet


Listen, you ain’t seen nothing yet! Hang in there. The best—God’s best for YOU—is worth the wait.♥️

I love you,

Shaun


**On another note, this was too cute not to share. It’s an excerpt from my journal entry written on May 2, 2015—

“I took one of those FB quizzes about “what is your gift?” I got music. It said that you can channel a song for any occasion. Lord knows that’s true! Every morning and all through the day, a song is playing in my head. I actually mean- ALL day long!”

Well… it’s true. My life.☺️

Phenomenal, Is Who I Am

Found this beautiful reminder by Dr. Maya Angelou in my in my saved photos (April 30, 2020). “I’m a woman. Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, that’s me.”

“Phenomenal Woman” by Dr. Maya Angelou

Such a beautiful find!💎

And timely!

I’m currently reading Dr. Angelou’s book, “A Song Flung Up To Heaven.” I read it ages ago and recently found it after my mom passed. It was packed away with her things. When I read it the first time, I read it without stopping to soak in her stories. Now that I’m older and in the process of finding my space in this over-50 community and the work that I’m finding myself drawn to, her stories are hitting differently. I see her.

Mother. Daughter. Sister. Friend.

Advocacy. Politics. Equality. Human Rights. Freedom.

Love. Life. Being.

Art.

Music.

Rhythm.

I feel this.

It’s who I am.

Yes…

A phenomenal woman.

That’s me.♥️

Chosen On Purpose

You were chosen on purpose for God’s purpose. Now trust the process and His plan.

And… trust yourself.

You got this!

Love you!♥️
