Apparently, there is a channel called life over sixty. The elderly lady reminices on lessons she’s picked up through the years. It’s quite refreshing actually
The little voice "Can I Just say Hi" has watered my eyes and I have replayed like 5 times😭, and im like "Hi baby!🥲 Hi very muuch! love!.. You are so grown up! I would love to see you too but you are quite safer on the blind side of the internet baby,☺ not everyone is so nice as you are, on this side so hang in there🥲❤❤
You said, "I'm not at the mercy of what's happening," I had to pause because I thought the same thing today. I woke up feeling lethargic and just couldn't work out, so I skipped it. Throughout the morning, I was mopping around, feeling like a failure because of it, but by 12 pm, I thought, "wait, I didn't work out, but that doesn't mean I'm out for the day. get up, sis." picked myself right up
I always enjoy your sit down moments/chats. They make me take a step back, review and correct myself at times. You're such a gem ❤️ Please greet the Little Lady for us 💞 Happy belated birthday to your Dad! I'm sure your mom would have been a vlogger if it was something that happened in her time. She's definitely not shy of the camera❤️
So timely..... i love watching your videos especially when I'm doing my self-care cause your conversations with yourself inspire me a lot and it's encouraging to hear your perspective on various lessons you've learnt along your journey. As a person who also struggles a lot with finding that balance between being too hard on myself and being accountable, I relate a lot. It really does help to hear from someone else that I need to allow myself some grace throughout life. Thank you so much for sharing with us these vulnerable moments. I appreciate you, Sharon!
I really appreciate how you’re okay being vulnerable in your videos. I get encouraged knowing that am not alone. That many of us are trying to figure out this thing called life and the need for us to be kinder to ourselves even us we go through the many phases of life. This morning I was raving about you to a friend and she was like I have to go watch her videos to see why you’re always going on and on about her. I really admire you and I get so much inspiration from you Sharon. Thank you for what you do I wish I could like this video multiple times coz it’s exactly where am at in life. To all of us going through this journey I send lots of ❤❤❤ your way. We’re on the right track
Hi Sharon 👋🏽.. gosh I relate with so many things you've shared on this video, like the sleeping habits of watching TH-cam to fall asleep 😅.. and the feeling like you're not in control 😩.. and also the constant negative self talk 😔.. I'm 33 going 34, and I totally get it. The expectations for myself of all the things I feel I "should" have done by now .... shifting those perspectives is not easy, and I'm also unlearning and relearning to be kinder to myself... All the same, thanks for sharing and being so vulnerable, it was beautiful to watch.. and also to know that I'm normal too 😅.. love & light
I feel so seen! I literally threw my hands in the air when you began speaking on what you've been going through. Sigh...finally someone has put into words what I've been feeling. These past few months have felt like a constant battle; negative self-talk, overthinking/worrying, no routine etc. I'm now committed to getting back or better yet forging a new way to the best me I am capable of being. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers 🌻 My favourite video yet.
As I listened to Sharon, my heart felt so much compassion especially since negative self talk can be so heavy. But also because it felt like sb beating her down with words and that broke my heart. Also broke my heart because in a way I could see myself struggle differently and how hard that can be. _ It also opened up my eyes to how Good and gracious God is. To how His grace has been so abundant to me that (for now) I would say I no longer talk to myself like that. It’s really interesting how just believing I am the handiwork of God and He has more grace as my sin increases has transformed even my talk to see myself how He sees me. To try see others as He sees them. A lot of time I think guys are exposed to negative, joyless and grey religious folks and how that can hurt them or make them feel Christianity is mambo jambo😅and I get it honestly. Yet I think true believers (believed Christ for forgiveness and salvation from their sin + shortcomings, accepted His grace and love and adoption and love His back by believing in Him showcased in their acts of obedience and faith in His grace when they fall short) are genuinely the most joyful folks in the planet. _ I listened to Sharon and in as much as I felt compassion, I also realised how much peace and joy I have found in trading the truth of God for lies that live within. _ I have realised I truly have no control. The grace of God is abundant to us that in stead of giving Him glory, we take that to think how much control we have. But truthfully, if an earthquake happens, my entire belongings would be destroyed. If I had control, my loved ones wouldn’t get sick, wouldn’t die, I’d have power to raise them back, accidents wouldn’t happen, breakups wouldn’t happen or wouldn’t hurt. We wouldn’t lose jobs or lack them. Some people wouldn’t lack food/clothes. Seeking control is denying our human nature of limitation and what that brings is anxiety, sickness of the body, depression even, sometimes even death. It’s the same lie in Genesis 3 when the devil told Eve you shall surely be like God, knowing good from evil and not affected by it. Chapter 4 Cain kills his brother. We know good and evil because it affects us (like if we suffered from a disease and Jesus knows it like a doctor) More than we know, it’s treatment yet not affected by it.
It’s the same lie that finite beings can control the infinite like the future and not have anxiety. _ Yet genuinely one of the primary needs of a human being is to feel safe. It’s not a crazy or sth to feel shame about. I think our genuine and good need to feel safe is what in the leads us to want control. But control in itself is unattainable really. So easily that I can’t control if on a day I feel good I can stop a bad experience from happening. _ So how does Jesus redeems this? He reveals His power and goodness to us. Reveals His power in creation, so much so that science testifies of a theory many worlds and that should or ought to make you awe at how Big God is. He doesn’t sleep or slumber. He has no needs yet blesses us with physical needs to testify of how greatly He can bless and satisfy our internal needs. Like need for protection, purpose. Need for relationship. Need for abundance of grace when we fall. Need for light along the way. Need for healing. Need for wholeness. Even genuine need for provision. Who can if not the infinite God who has kept us out of His own goodness? - He is big and sovereign yet He is concerned with mere men like us. He takes pleasure in knowing us, in blessing us, in keeping us. The Bible continuously reminds us “Do not be afraid, for I am with you”. “I will never leave nor forsake you” “If He dresses the lilies of the land and feeds the birds of the air, how much more precious are you?” _ He is revealed as Infinite, Keeper, Defender, Protector, Provider, Saviour, Lord of the Universe and most importantly; Good(for He has no sin in Him and is unable to sin against us) thus His ways are perfect and refreshing to the soul. His statutes are trustworthy, making wise the simple. His commands are right, bringing joy, peace and righteousness to the soul. _ So it’s not about being in control eventually. It is trusting that He who genuinely is, is good to me. He cares for me and purposes all things for good.
The Bible also testifies “He opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble” Why? Because proud folks have no need for God. Can’t testify to the validity of their neediness. Can’t open their eyes to say, “wow, nothing really satisfies me long term as I thought”. Can’t admit that in as much as there is so much to be grateful, there’s also a lot of pain. To take time and acknowledge “Wow, I’ve also contributed to that through the different ways I have hurt people in doing and not doing.” And instead of running or distracting oneself from that awareness that genuinely does bring guilt, acknowledging it. Acknowledging God’s response to that wasn’t the cancelling/ punishment we deserved but the abundance of grace our souls needed. He has shown us love when we don’t deserve to be loved. The only difference is humility will help us receive it and allow ourselves to be sustained by it. _ Pride will not only reject it, but will be a piper’s tune to not only death in this life. Death in friendships, jobs, purpose paths, relationships that didn’t need to die, death of health in all aspects. Pride makes us feel we’re the all in all, have no need for other people thus can treat them how we want. A testimony to the Genesis 3 lie, we can harness power and control like God and rule over it in stead of it ruling over us.Then, death eternally because we didn’t “need” the safety boat. Yet if we humble ourselves, we are able to receive His grace. We are able to see the abundance of His love and enter relationship with Him. We are able to trust Him and His grace for our frustrations, shortcomings, pains, trauma, provision, protection, sustenance. We are genuinely and literally able to sleep and rest for He is control. Psalm 3 “I sleep and rise again for the Lord sustains me” _ It’s not saying we won’t have troubles or lack or suffering. It’s that when it happens, It has His sovereign purpose and biggest of all, He will sustain and keep us even in our doubts and anger and frustrations with Him. He is not moved but a Good Father. A good Friend closer than a brother and a Compassionate Lord. I also think in light of pride, I think in as much as imposter syndrome bears legitimacy. I think it also has some roots of pride in stead of gratitude. I think it’s saying “I should be at a certain level to be invited to events in stead of “wow! I get to experience being in a room with great folks where I can talk and learn” And that pride hinders us from experiencing the abundance of such moments. _ Wow. I can write. I got inspired to share this because of how the grace of God has changed me. And how faith in God has been light and truth to cancel out lies. And that genuinely has given me soo much peace it’s unexplainable. I wrote this because I was once here and God saved me. He has filled my life with His goodness and genuinely from loving and believing in Him showcased in simple acts of obedience and I can surely say, “my cup overflows”. I have had deep moments of suffering yet He has been with me. He has comforted me with His peace in my heart and rest of mind. He has blessed me in ways I didn’t expect or deserve genuinely. That fills me with hope for tomorrow and for heaven. I pray each of us experiences peace that surpasses understanding.
This was such a nice vlog to watch. I'm in my early 40's, at 35 or 36 yrs old, I had doubts..coming from a Congolese culture (it feels like the whole town watches kids grow and the judgements 🤦🏽♀️). But in my late 30's I started saying "life is not a competition, I'm not racing against anybody..I'll go with what makes me happy, me). You're doing a great job 👍🏽😊
I've been using InsightTimer for two years now and girl...you're right about something: it is sooooo good. I started using it for free and paid for it later. The meditations on it truly help me stay grounded in the present moment.
Hugs Sharon ♥️🫂 I hope things become better🥺♥️. I pray your life is filled or awakened to God’s love for you and I hope that fills you with grace for your journey. _ I pray He turns your frustrations to gladness in a way only Jesus can. Hugs sweetie 🫂♥️
I am abit surprised youre having emotional challenges because from your last vlog you were seeming beyond emotionally fine! Infact you were even motivating me to improve my daily routine by adding workout sessions! Stay strong maybe what youre lacking is spiritual coaching! Try finding a good church community! It should benefit you greatly😊
I can totally relate with not maintaining washing my face during the night. I am not a Make up girl hence there is usually no incentive pushing me to wash my face during the night but then Covid happened and I had an awful breakout that left scars on my face. I had to really become serious with AM and PM skin care routine and now I’m an addict of skincare😁the ordinary products do it for me. You are lovely by the way and I like your ranting . And I just discovered this video by the way but I even went to follow you on IG asap
Hey Sharon. Could you please talk more about your new training routine, if you don't mind? What made you leave CrossFit? Do you have a personal trainer? What routine are you following? Etc... 😅😅
Oooh wow now I get why you don't share your family, it's a guarded place and I totally get you. And I will always stick around for your insights on other topics, nice treat to hear your daughter speak. I can swear on Laroche posey products esp on the little kids.
Shaz, whoa...that was deep! There seems to be a revolution for us self doubters and self negative talkers. just this Monday, my colleague told me everyday she wakes up she asks herself "do I still love me?". Whenever the answer is "yes", then she's good. I was like "how does that even look?" Mm...let's just say, I'm on a serious journey to self love. Just to share some solidarity 💕
Apparently, there is a channel called life over sixty. The elderly lady reminices on lessons she’s picked up through the years. It’s quite refreshing actually
I follow it coincidentally. I randomly stumbled on it this month
Hi Naila baby girl❤🎉 Sharon we love and respect ya but that hello from the little lady was a sweet treat!
The little voice "Can I Just say Hi" has watered my eyes and I have replayed like 5 times😭, and im like "Hi baby!🥲 Hi very muuch! love!.. You are so grown up! I would love to see you too but you are quite safer on the blind side of the internet baby,☺ not everyone is so nice as you are, on this side so hang in there🥲❤❤
Aawwwww
20:19 hit so hard. You’re not alone Sharon. I think life is a perpetual battle to win against self
😮 Baby Sharon is totally your daughter’s twin. Wow.
You said, "I'm not at the mercy of what's happening," I had to pause because I thought the same thing today. I woke up feeling lethargic and just couldn't work out, so I skipped it.
