I found the quote above in my photos. Not sure who wrote it or if I ever shared it. However, that’s not the point. The message is the point. Stop stressing by trying to do and make everything happen yourself. Give it all to God. I’m talking about everything! I mean, He is the one in control, right? Let Him have it.🥰
Many changes and anticipated changes are happening at the moment, causing fear, anxiety, and conflict. My advice is that, no matter what happens, we must first stay rooted and grounded in God, and secondly, remain committed to protecting the sanctity and integrity of humanity. We must remain loving, kind, caring, compassionate, empathetic, and respectful. Y’all, the well-being—not only physical but psychological—of our future and future generations is dependent on it.🙏🏽
Yes, life as we once knew is slowly changing. Please, stay rooted and grounded in God.♥️
Listen, DO NOT give up! I know it seems like you’ve been working towards your dreams for ages, and the closer you get to them, the farther you have to go. Believe me, I get it. I am right there with you. But guess what we’re not going to do? We are not going to give up or settle for less than God’s best for our lives. Instead, we are going to keep going. Yes, we are going to keep going until we see our dreams come true.
Here are two posts that just gave me the boost I needed this morning. I hope they inspire and motivate you.
Facebook Memory: January 6, 2019
The “social media find” that accompanied the Facebook memory.
A Facebook post that randomly showed up on my feed this morning.☺️
THIS!!! I may be 51, but my life is far from over, and my dreams are still possible. I must keep going!
When I tell you God’s messages are always on time. This is why I allow Him to lead.
My Facebook memory reminded me of how far I’ve come in ten years. Y’all, 2015 was a beast! My entire life fell apart that year, and I nearly lost everything (I still had my babies) however, I made it! I’m still here and much further along than before things fell apart. Yes, life is so much better. Also, randomly seeing Mel Robbins’ post on my feed was all God—ALL God.
Y’all, I am so grateful God loves me enough to keep me motivated and encouraged. That He won’t let me give up on my dreams or settle where I am, even when I want to.🥰
By the way, I’m going to go back and follow Mel. I have been listening to her podcasts for over a year or so now but haven’t followed her on social media.
Well, this is all I have at the moment. Thank you for reading. I really do appreciate you. Sending prayers your way for a wonderful day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
** Saw this in my journal entry (January 6, 2023) and thought I’d share it too:
“What you say to yourself dictates the course of your life.” –Bishop T. D. Jakes
Finally saw examples of the new AI profiles Meta has created. Talk about the futuristic becoming a reality! Not sure if I should be excited or afraid. I’m not going to lie, I have always been drawn to the whole space-age, futuristic stuff. As a kid, I imagined the possibility of life on other planets, people living in outer space, and androids living among us. Shoot, I already believe Elon is a cyborg from the future or alternate universe. Yes, I believe in it all. Smile. Let’s just say Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (I always though it was the 21st century😅), Star Trek, The Jetsons, and The Twilight Zone were my favorite shows as a kid. Now, it’s happening. However, what I fear could happen reminds me more of Fahrenheit 451 (I believe everyone should read the book at least once). Or… the animated movie, WALL-E.—another favorite ☺️—not as scary of a future, but still a future I hope we avoid.
Yes, life is becoming very interesting and I’m not sure what to make of it. Are y’all ready? What are your thoughts and feelings about the new AI profiles?
This is the image Facebook created from my profile picture. I only added the prompt “futuristic.” I’m so cute!🥰 I look like a young scientist.😁
So, my new year started off on a high note. However, it went downhill soon after—like the next day—when I began thinking about my personal life. I thought about how I chose to be a mom first and built my life around my two—no disrespect to my babies because I would do it all again if I had to. It’s true.
Side note: If you don’t already know, I love being a mom. Y’all, I love everything about motherhood—the good and bad. Believe me, my adult children were regular kids like every other kid. They tested their boundaries and my patience, but I never once regretted having them. They were and truly are my blessings.
Anyhoo… Reality hit me hard a couple of days ago. I’m talking hard! For a minute, I felt completely lost and alone. Y’all, I am single—like, single, single—grown kids, no man single—and I’m 51.
That’s when I knew I needed a change of scenery to clear my mind, so I hit the road. I wasn’t about to sit and wallow in my thoughts of what I didn’t or don’t have. Yes, I am 51, but I refuse to believe my best days are behind me. That I missed out on God’s plans for my personal life because I chose to make my babies a priority.
This morning I came across a Facebook memory from a few years ago and was reminded that everything that happened in my life, happened the way and in the order that God planned. I may not understand it, but I accept it. I accept it, and I’m letting it go. I must let it go. I know God’s got me.
Well, that’s how I’ve been feeling lately. How about you?😅
Don’t forget, today is Self-Love Saturday! Remember to treat yourself a little extra special today.♥️
Sharing the same message I shared a few days ago—Allow God to lead. You don’t have to understand the task or have all the details. Just be ready to move when God says move.♥️
