Respect God’s Timing

How often have you tried to rush things or make something happen and it didn’t work? Could it possibly be because the timing wasn’t right? Some things take time. Yep.. sometimes YEARS! Did you just cringe, too?! (Laughing) Good news is, everything always works out better when we respect God’s timing.

Last night, I witnessed someone’s wait finally come to fruition. Sheryl Lee Ralph has been a performer and actress for decades and this year she was finally nominated for an Emmy award… and she WON!!!! Y’all, I was so excited for her and her babies. Her son and daughter – kinda like mine – have always been her biggest supporters and fans and they were there to witness this magnificent occasion. It was so beautiful!

On another note– I would like to see the same for Tyler Perry. He’s also been in the game for decades and it’s time for him to receive the writer/producer/director and film credit he deserves. Yep.. It’s time for him to receive an Oscar for his work. His latest film is called A Jazzman’s Blues. According to Tyler, it’s been in the works for 27 years. Now, that’s a long time! From what I can tell from the trailer, it’s Oscar worthy. Okay.. maybe I’m a little biased. Y’all know I love me some Tyler Perry. But honestly, it really is his time.

A Jazzman’s Blues comes out on September 23, 2022 on Netflix. Check it out!

Remember, God’s timing is always best. The look on Sheryl’s face last night proved it was so worth the wait. God is so amazing!♥️

Grateful

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday and last night, things were really rough. My mom was in so much pain and nothing helped. Around 4:00 AM the pain medicine finally kicked in and she was finally able to fall asleep. When she woke up around 8:00 AM, she was all smiles– the pain had subsided. By mid-afternoon, she had regained some of her hearing in her right ear. Not sure if I even mentioned this in previous blogs, but my mom had lost her hearing in both ears between waking up in ICU and making it to her hospital room. Y’all, when I tell you God is sooo good!

Sitting here eating and happened to look out the window. I know it’s God’s way of letting me know everything is going to be alright. Amen

Just For Me

Waves

Life happens in waves. Ups and downs. Ins and Outs. Joys and sorrows. Breathe.

No matter where the waves take you, know that God has you in His arms. He will never abandon or leave you. Again.. Breathe.

The Power of Discernment

Discernmentthe ability to judge well: the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend what is obscure.

God has given each of us the ability to discern whether or not something is in our best interest. If it’s not, let it go. If it is, embrace it. Discernment is one of our superpowers. Be sure to use it.♥️ ~ Shaun

Hello Sunday

Today’s a brand new day. So grateful for life. So blessed that Momma is still with us. Although the progression process has been very slow, she’s still progressing. Taking things one day at a time. Prayers for continued peace, patience and guidance. Amen

The Flow

Life happens, right? And some things are just completely beyond our control. I would say this past week has taught me the meaning of, “Just go with the flow.” However, it’s one lesson I’ve been learning over the past year and a half.

Last night I finally stop resisting it, even the slightest bit. Last night I changed my prayer from, “Lord, I’m tired. Please help me make it.” to “Lord, I know you will not put more on me than I can bear. Please help me handle things from a place of peace.”

Today, I’m going with the flow from a place of peace. Projects that need to get done will be done when I get to them. Deadlines will have to be pushed back, and I’m okay with that. I know that where I am at this moment is where I need to be. God’s got me. Everything will always work out according to God’s plan, which will always be in my favor. ♥️
