Today’s a new day! Time to get up and get moving. So grateful I am still hereand blessed. Amen
Here’s a quote from last year’s journal entry. Y’all, God’s word is always on time. Always! Trust where He’s guiding you.
Shaun’s Journal Entry: September 5, 2022
“Trust that the One who created us knows us best because He’s the one who created us. When we surrender and be obedient, God is lining us up for so much greater. The walk of obedience leads to a life unimaginable. Even though it seems hard at the moment it will be worth it.” Alex Seeley (TBN’s Better Together Series)
Surrender and be obedient. God has something greater planned. Love you!♥️
Here’s a gem from four years ago, September 4, 2019. Sometimes when I reread what I’ve written, I ask myself why did it take so long for that particular message to sink in. I mean, God would reveal things to me; however, it would take me years to fully grasp the message or assignment and follow through. Gotta love life…
Facebook Memory: September 4, 2019
Open to receive all that God has for me. I now understand this brings Him joy.
Good Morning! Today’s social media find is personal. Yep… A.K.A. long post.☺️
Last week I posted, “God’s revelations are mind blowing.” Then I took a short social media break to reflect on what He was showing me. My last blog, “More Than Life To Me,” was about God revealing even more to me about myself. It was like the most insecure part of me had been exposed, not to others, but to me. Yeah, I believe there are things about ourselves that we try to keep hidden from ourselves. Just pitiful!🤦🏽♀️ Unfortunately, they’re typically the ones that keep us from leaving our comfort zones. They’re not bad, but they keep us from growing.
So, for as long as I can remember, I have never felt worthy of good things. I have always believed others deserved them more than me. That’s why it’s always been so easy for me to celebrate others. When I post things like, “If God can do it for Tyler Perry, he can do it for us, too!” I’m actually speaking to everyone besides myself. RARELY do I include myself. One reason is, I really do like watching God work and seeing people prosper. The other is I’ve never felt worthy enough to receive those kinds of blessings.
Well, God has been working – ON ME! A few days ago, I experienced something that I had never experienced before, true love. Love like no other. (You’ll have to read my blog to find out 😉More Than Life To Me). Then yesterday another revelation came as I was interviewing someone for a position. I witnessed myself become who I am. I’M A BOSS!
It was like a light switch went on inside of me. I’ve always been in charge of things. I mean, I’m the person who’s always chosen to lead or manage something. Not because I want to, it just happens. So I have never owned the role. I’ve only gone with the flow. But yesterday, something changed. I realized I’ve been placed in this position because I earned it. I’M WORTHY of it.
I shared my story because I know I can’t be the only one who’s experienced this or is experiencing it. Know your worth. Be open to receive all God has for you. Don’t take any of it for granted. In one of my previous posts I said I believe God blesses us even more when He sees us happy. Well, I believe He blesses us even more when WE humbly realize we deserve to be happy. God is good!
I keep telling y’all God is working.😉
Well, I really wish I could report that my life skyrocketed after that inspiring post. But nope, it actually took a plunge. When I tell you the months that followed my newfound awareness were mentally and emotionally challenging. Whew!! Part of me wishes I could turn back time to redo a few things. However, I have lived long enough to know that everything that happens is somehow meant to happen. It’s called life. I’m not going to lie, I don’t fully understand why we experience certain things; however, I do know and believe that every experience is meant to prepare us for something greater in life.
Just reread my blog from September 1, 2019, More Than Life To Me. When I tell you I am in tears. I absolutely love the way God loves me. Surrendering all to Him and trusting Him completely. Also trusting myself to love me better and FIRST (after God, of course). Yes, self love is a must, not an option.♥️
I pray you have a glorious day and fabulous week. I love you!
Not sure if it’s only happening in my life, but there is a shift happening. A huge shift in the atmosphere. Y’all, something big is taking place. I feel it with my entire being.
When I said I feel differently since turning 50, y’all, I actually feel differently. It’s exciting, but also a little unsettling. Mainly because I have absolutely no idea of what’s coming. All I know is I must continue trusting God while allowing Him to lead.
I do not have much to say this morning. Believe I said it all yesterday. Smile. At the end of the day, I really do trust God. Yes, I get frustrated at times. But who doesn’t? It’s called life.
Here’s the song that is currently on repeat in my mind–Mary J. Blige’s song, My Life. Here are a few of the lyrics.
If you look at my life and see what I’ve seen…
Life can be only what you make it When you’re feelin down You should never fake it Say what’s on your mind And you’ll find in time That all the negative energy It would all cease
And you’ll be at peace with yourself You won’t really need no one else Except for the man up above Because He’ll give you love … Source: LyricFind
Thanks for reading and have a wonderfully, blessed day!♥️
