I was searching through my photos for something to share with my afternoon post and came across the images below. I screenshot them so the date and times were included. I’m smiling because this is exactly how fast God confirms, affirms, or reassures His presence in my life. Most of the time, it doesn’t even take an hour—seconds, at most.
I’m pretty sure I was very confident in whatever I was doing when I used the avatar. I just knew I had everything covered. Then, not even two hours later, I was probably doubting myself, and that’s when I saw the second message. I just love the way God loves me!🥰
Listen, even when we think we can handle things on our own, or when God appears to be silent, believe me, He’s always near. He’s forever present, and His love for us never fails. We are truly blessed.♥️
Woke up hearing the words “healing waters.” Wasn’t quite sure what it meant so I asked AI. Here’s what AI had to say—
“Healing water generally refers to water, often in natural settings like springs or rivers, believed to possess therapeutic or restorative properties, both physically and spiritually.”
Spiritually it “represents spiritual cleansing, renewal, and the transformative power of faith.”
Healing waters…
I’m getting the feeling that it’s time for me to visit the water again. I haven’t been in a month or so. There’s just something about the water that seems to make time stand still. So calming. So peaceful.
On another note, I must have been exhausted last night because I fell asleep with not one, but two lights on in my bedroom, and I was still lying on top of the covers. Didn’t wake up until after 5:30 AM, which is late for me. And when I did, I heard the words “healing waters.”
Maybe this is my sign to disconnect for a few days.
Hmmm…
Healing waters.
Anyhoo… I pray you have a wonderful day! May it be filled with unconditional love, joy, peace, and happiness. You deserve it!🌺
**After reading what I wrote, I decided to leave it unedited. I don’t want to edit it. These are my current thoughts and feelings. This is how it all spilled out.**♥️
When I woke up this morning, I heard, “Remember your ‘Why’.” Then, as I was scrolling through my Facebook memories I saw this picture of myself from a few years ago, and I remembered my ‘Why.’
She is my why. Her purpose, passion, goals, and dreams are my Why. I told her that I’d always have her. In good times and bad. No matter what came or went. In high moments and lows. She could always count on me.
Yesterday, that “Big Beautiful” ugly, disgusting bill passed the senate and it hurt me to my core. Food security, nutritional wellness, and health equity, just a few things I’m passionate about, were all stripped away with a vote. I did my part. I contacted my U.S. senators and representative, even though I already knew how they’d vote. Yes, I contacted them anyway.
So, today, I must remember my ‘Why.’ I must continue trusting God to have even the smallest and most vulnerable of us—the ones who have a voice but don’t realize they have one. I must continue to believe for them, to work for them. They are also my ‘Why.’ My colleagues are also my ‘Why.’ Many of their positions have already been cut, and they are struggling to move forward.
Hurt.
Heart broken.
However, today is a new day, and I cannot lose hope. Today, the bill goes back to the House of Representatives for revisions and a final vote. No matter the outcome, I must remember my ‘Why’ and keep going.
At the moment, I’m hearing Louis Armstrong singing “What A Wonderful World.” I can see those skies of blue—for everyone. I see every baby, every child, every adult and elder with access to healthy foods and the best of health care. I can see it. No matter what, I must not lose sight of this.
Don’t get me wrong, my faith in God is still strong. It’s my faith in humanity that’s a bit faulty.
Which means… I must lean on God even more, not only for myself but for those who have lost faith or are losing faith.
That’s all I have for now. I pray your day is just as lovely as you are.
The song that’s currently on repeat in my head is William Becton’s song, “Be Encouraged.” The song says—
I know right now it’s impossible to see, but God is gonna work it out if you just believe. Remember this one thing while you’re going through, if God delivered Daniel, He’ll do the same for you.
Be encouraged no matter what’s going on, He’ll make it alright, but you gotta stay strong.
♥️
Y’all, we are in God’s hands. Stay encouraged. He’s got us!🙏🏽
It’s Shaun’s World
