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.♥️

Praise And Worship: April 30, 2025

I’ve been singing worship songs a lot lately. Sometimes I feel as though I’m singing and worshipping for others, not only for myself. So if you need this, I’m singing the following for you—

There’s nothing God can’t do, hallelujah. There’s nothing God, can’t do.

He’ll wipe the tears from your eyes. He’ll make a way out of no way—out of no way—out of no way. He’s the answer, hallelujah. There’s nothing God can’t do.

Now, I don’t know if that’s how the song actually goes, but that’s how I’m singing it this morning. Know that God’s got you! Whatever you’re going through, turn it over to Him. Place everything in His hands and at His feet. You may not see it, but He’s working behind the scenes making every crooked road straight. He’s got YOU!!

Love you!♥️

Thankful for God’s smile—God’s favor. I am truly blessed.

I pray that you have a wonderful day!♥️

I love you,

God’s Patience

I am so very grateful for God’s patience with me. This journey has been long, tedious, and exhausting. I can’t even begin to count the number of times I have wanted to give up—BUT GOD!

God, thank You for being patient with me.🙏🏽

My Journey With God, No. 87

These last few weeks, I have been sitting in God’s presence and watching Him work—not through social media, but in my life and through the lives of those around me. Y’all, I am forever in awe of His goodness, kindness, grace, and love. I am blessed. We are blessed.♥️

I Believe, Part 2

Yesterday, I wrote—

“Always believe something wonderful will happen. Even when everything around you says it’s impossible, remember that all things are possible with God. He has the final say.

Believe!♥️”


After seeing today’s Facebook memory, I had to come back and add a second part. Listen—Believe. It is already done.

Done!

I don’t know about you but this message makes me want to shout—a Holy Ghost filled, fire–baptized shout. IYKYK.

It’s done!!!

Hallelujah!!!

It is DONE!!


Okay… Carry on.💃🏽🙌🏽

Love you!♥️

Shaun

**Singing, “I get joy when I think about… what He’s done for me.” Yessss!

God’s Hands

Rest, you are covered.

Good Morning☀️

Place everything—your fears, worries, needs, wants, and dreams—in God’s hands and leave them there. He has already worked everything out in your favor, from your current needs to your future dreams. Yes, leave them in God’s hands and rest.

I pray that your day is just as amazing as you are. You deserve it!♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

Grateful

Good Morning☀️

Singing—

I am grateful for the things that you have done. Yes, I’m grateful for the victories we’ve won. I could go on and on and on about your works because I’m grateful, grateful, so grateful just to praise you Lord. Flowing from my heart are the issues of my heart, it’s gratefulness. (Hezekiah Walker, “Grateful”)


Today, I am grateful for life. So grateful God’s blessed me to see another day. So grateful for the opportunity to work towards my goals and dreams and to fulfill His purpose for my life.

Yes, I’m grateful.

I pray your week has started off well. Wishing you a wonderfully blessed day. Take it easy.♥️

I love you,

Shaun
