My Journey With God, No. 75

Earlier, when I shared my first post, “I’m Blessed,” I had no idea I had written the following post on March 13, 2023, until I read my journal entry from that date.

This morning, I wrote—

“Thanking God for blessing me with hope and the gift of dreaming new dreams. I am beyond blessed.”

I had no idea I had actually written about my hopes and dreams on this date two years ago. Here’s what I shared then—

I’m Already Living In My Dreams,” March 13, 2023

Much too often we limit ourselves to what is familiar… to what we know and see.

When I was in my twenties, God gave me a taste of what I said wanted but I was too naive to recognize it. For decades, I saw myself in international spaces. Wrote in my Senior book (high school journal) that I wanted to work for an international company. God gave me the Air Force. Said I wanted to travel to different countries. I lived in Germany and Turkey. Shoot, even said I wanted to live in the city I’m living in now, eight years before I actually moved here; and the move was not intentional, it just happened.

So, here I am actually living in all I have spoken… in all I have dreamed. No, nothing is or has happened the way I envisioned, but everything has happened and is happening.

For years, I have seen myself standing in front of the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland admiring the flags of different countries. I have seen myself walking its halls and interacting with people from all nations. Well… I am already doing it through my blogs and social media platforms. No, I am not physically at the U.N.; however, everything I saw myself doing, I’m doing from the comfort of my home. Now, this does not mean I don’t want to go to Geneva, Switzerland because that’s still a dream of mine. What it does mean is I now recognize the gift I have been given and I am eternally grateful that I am living in my dreams.

I am truly blessed.

I would like to thank all of you for reading my blogs and helping me fulfill my dreams. I so appreciate you!♥️

If you don’t mind, please leave a comment and let me know where you are reading from.


I thank God for reminding me that dreams rarely resemble what we envisioned; however, the core of our dreams never changes. I am not just dreaming new dreams but expanding and reimagining the dreams God placed within me as a child. I also recognize that my reality is interconnected with my dreams. Talk about being blessed!

Y’all, God is so amazing!♥️

Just A Thought

Every truth is being exposed.

I was just discussing this with my daughter after seeing so many businesses and people cave under the tiniest bit of pressure. Or, is there no pressure at all? Perhaps this is who they’ve always been, and now their truths are being exposed.

Hmmm….

It seems to me their intentions were never to benefit humanity. They’ve always been about self-interest. At first, I believed some changes were being made strategically as if the greater good of humanity was in mind. Not anymore.

We needed to see the truth.

Yep…

The question is, what will we do with this knowledge?🤔

Hello Sunday

Perceptions…

Facebook Memory: July 14, 2022

Perceptions can be very deceptive and lead to unwarranted mistrust. We must be mindful not to confuse what we perceive to be true with the actual truth.

Trust God.

This was written two years ago and is so relevant today. Perceptions can be deceptive.

Praying you have a blessed day.♥️

Love you,

True Happiness

True happiness comes from within.

You can’t find true happiness in things or people, and you surely cannot buy it. Believe me, I have tried before only to end up in the same state—feeling sad, depressed, unloved—after the excitement was over. No, true happiness is God-given and comes from within.♥️

True happiness comes from within. Wishing you much happiness and peace.♥️

Wishing you true happiness.


On another note, earlier this morning I watched Jay Shetty’s podcast with philanthropist, Melinda French Gates. It was a conversation I was already interested in hearing. However, I did not know it would end up being one I needed to hear. Yes, needed to hear. I can’t say it enough, I just love how God loves me. He always sends the right messages at the absolute right time. Always.

Here’s the link, if you are interested: Jay Shetty with Melinda French Gates.

Praying you’re having a wonderful day this far.♥️

Take Care,

Transparency

I used to believe people who only shared their successes instead of their failures were frauds. I now realize that is not necessarily the case. There’s a time, place and audience for everything. Knowing when, where and what to share is vital, even when it comes to sharing successes. Yes, I am finally realizing that good news isn’t always acceptable for some.

Everyone can’t handle your truth.♥️
