I have had this as my cover/header on several of my social media platforms for three years now. Three years! Three years and I still find myself placing limits on God. Shaking my head.
Don’t limit God
Do Not Limit God!
A couple of days ago, I went on a 24 hour adventure with a feisty, fearless 82 year old. When I tell you she’s not afraid to live! She kept saying, “Aww LaShaundra (not LaShaundrea), you’re a scaredy cat.” When I tell you she’s so spontaneous. Everything I once was. Probably everything I could still be if I would have stayed out of my head.
Now I am sitting here asking myself what would happen if I completely let go… like completely. What limits am I blocking? Hmmm…
In the words of one of my all time favorite people in the world, “Higher is waiting.” Y’all, I believe that’s my answer. That’s what I am blocking. I’m blocking something higher. Guess it’s time to take those limits off and soar! I can do this!!!
Wishing you a wonderful Thursday. Love you!♥️

Gotta love Year50. When I tell you I was not expecting my year to be anything like this. When I say God is pruning me for real. Y’all, it’s scary, uncomfortable, and somewhat painful; however, I am trusting God to take me somewhere wonderfully, unimaginable. Somewhere where my heart will sing again, the butterflies will flutter, and I will experience an overflow of joy, blessings and unconditional love, forever…
Talked about, lied on and criticized Many tears fell from my eyes I wondered how much can one man take I wanted to retaliate but god said
Hold your peace vengence is mine Enemies will bow down in due time Hold your peace, I’ll fight your battles Victory, victory shall be mine Victory, victory shall be mine Victory, victory shall be mine
Hold your peace and let God fight your battles. Believe me, He’s got this. You must remember that you are God’s child.
Here’s a Facebook memory from this date four years ago, August 30, 2019:
“Good Morning! God is just so good!! I’m up and feel like sharing. Lol.
Yesterday I shared Tyler Perry’s testimony about his accomplishments. Y’all already know how excited I get when I see God working, especially in Tyler’s life. It allows the world to see just how magnificent our God is. Whew!! If he didn’t acknowledge God, I wouldn’t be sharing his posts. For real!
Now, Tyler has his own dreams, and God’s in Atlanta SHOWING OUT!!💃🏽 So, what are your dreams? Your dream may not be like everyone else’s. Believe me, I struggled with this for the longest, and still do from time to time, especially when everyone’s promoting entrepreneurship. For a while I felt like if I wasn’t trying to own my own business, I wasn’t on the right track. Recently God showed me I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. I’m on track. (I’m telling y’all, journaling is awesome. Last night I found a few entries from 1992. God is so amazing!)
Anyhoo… here’s my dream. My dream is to help others see their potential and live their best lives. That’s it. So simple. And guess what- God has allowed me to see it happen. Words can’t even describe how I feel when I see y’all accomplishing your goals. It’s like God has given me access to something so wonderful and beautiful. When I see you struggle, I pray for you. When I see you achieve your goals, I celebrate with you and pray for you even more.
I said all of this to say, don’t try to live someone else’s dream. Live your own, even if it’s not profitable financially. When you start living your truth, you’ll start receiving blessings like crazy! I truly believe it’s because God wants us to be happy, and when He sees us happy, it makes Him want to love on us even more. I just love Him!!! When I tell you He knows how to make me smile.. WHEW!!!
Okay, that’s all. Keep believing. God IS working. You may not see it, but the more effort you put into your dream, the more He works. I love y’all! Don’t give up!”
Here is what I was referring to – Tyler Perry Studio receiving its highway sign, a sign I got to see in person a couple of years ago. Talk about soooo cool!
God is so good!
Great memory, right?! Has me feeling grateful this morning. Back then I wrote: “My dream is to help others see their potential and live their best lives. That’s it.” Well, that hasn’t necessarily changed. I do want to see others reach their fullest potential and live their best lives. However, I finally realize it’s okay for me to do the same and live my best life also. So here I am four years later, doing just that – finally an entrepreneur, living on my own terms, not obligated to do anything I do not want to do, and pursuing my dreams. I’m not going to lie, it’s been one of the hardest things to do, but I am finally doing it. Again, I’m grateful. Grateful and blessed.♥️
As we know, people deal with pain differently. Some are very transparent about theirs, while others mask theirs well. No matter which one is true, everyone could use a few prayers. Sending prayers and love into the atmosphere. May God send peace and comfort and restore joy. Amen 🙏🏽♥️
