What Makes You Smile?
What started as a simple social media post is now a blog.
Smile: a pleased, kind, or amused facial expression.
I believe genuine smiles come from the heart. They are not just facial expressions. They are expressions of pure joy and happiness. You must admit, although brief, when you smile you are completely content. Not a single worry in sight.
Me, I tend to smile a lot. I guess you could say I experience a lot of smileable moments. Earlier, while scrolling through social media, I noticed that I kept smiling. So I stopped scrolling and asked myself why. Why so many smiles? That’s when it hit me, I really do love watching God work. I know I say it all the time, but sometimes it does not fully register that I really love watching Him work. Y’all, God is so fascinating! I am forever amazed by the things He does. How He transforms lives. How everything falls into place exactly at the right moment in time. It’s like watching a movie with so many storylines and characters. They are all interconnected but don’t realize it. What I find most interesting, and humbling, is God allowing me to witness it all in real time. Unlike the movies, I actually get to cheer people on as I watch them grow and use their gifts to help others. Y’all, this is what makes me smile.
Honestly, when I think about it, I truly believe this is how God expresses His love for me. His desire is for all of us to live happy, fulfilled lives and this is what does it for me. Not money. Not success. But watching Him work. Y’all, this kind of joy and happiness is pure. So I smile. Grateful
Question- What makes you smile?

Hello Sunday
This morning I woke up with what I consider one of the ultimate worship songs playing over and over in my head– You are God Alone. When I tell you Marvin Sapp sang this song! Whew! Before I cancelled my Apple Music subscription, I used to have it on repeat for at least 30-40 minutes. Sometimes longer. As Marvin sings, “No one compares to Youuu!” Amen. For He is God alone.
You are God Alone by Marvin Sapp
There’s no question of Your greatness
No searching of Your power
All the wonder of Your glory
To You forty years is but one hour
Your knowledge is all encompassing
To Your wisdom there is no end
For You alone are God
You are God alone
Your mercy is everlasting
Your truth is here always
You are He who was and is, and is to come
Who is He that can number you day
You’ve flung the sun to burn in space
And the night’s moon powers light from day
You are God alone
Now unto the King
Eternal, immortal, invisible
The only wise God
The only wise God
You alone are God
For You are God alone
Now unto the King
Eternal, immortal, invisible
The only wise God
The only wise God
You alone are God
For You are God alone
For You are alone are God
For You are God alone . . .
Be all glory
And honor
Dominion and power
Forever and ever, amen
(Repeat 5 times)
For You alone are God
You are God alone
You’re my Jehova Jireh
You’re my Jehova Nisi
You’re my Jehovah Elion
You alone are God
You are God alone
For you alone are God
For you are God alone
For you alone are God
For you are God alone

Hello Sunday
The wait…
Word of advice– you probably should keep breathing while waiting. Hold your breath and you might not make it. Just kidding. God is full of surprises. You never know what He’s up to.
Y’all, the wait can be long and tedious. Been reading past journal entries and scrolling through Facebook memories. There were so many instances where I believed I was prepared to receive one thing or another, only to find I was not prepared at all. There was always a waiting period. Sometimes I waited three or four years. Sometimes longer. I noticed that during those periods of waiting, God was pruning and prepping me to receive. During those periods, I became stronger– things that intimidated me before no longer intimidated me. I became wiser– I began making better choices. I was more appreciative– I appreciated every little blessing I received and still do. My relationship with God also became stronger– I prayed and praised more.
The wait…
Be patient during the wait. Be patient with God and be patient with yourself. If you have not received what you believe you are ready for, you are not prepared to receive it. Believe me, when it’s the right time, God won’t keep you waiting– You will receive it!
Lesson– Waiting was and is necessary. I can wait. You can wait. We can wait. God is working.

Wednesday Writing
Happy Wednesday! Today’s the final day of my birthday celebration. Today, I have a movie and UNO date planned for this afternoon. Last night my son asked if we could watch “Colombiana”- I know, very random choice of movie- and play UNO. I was like, “Sure, why not!” Y’all, I just love him!
I’m hoping your day is just as random and interesting as mine! Remember to relish every moment. God is good.
