It’s Shaun’s World

Taking a break. Been at the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum for quite a while now. It’s a lot to take in. So much history. I’ve been here a few times before, but this time is different. Touring the museum with Ms. Raylawni (see Cherishing This Special Moment) and seeing everything through her eyes is quite special. There were so many pictures and stories she couldn’t bring herself to talk about. However, there was one highlight of the tour—when she found a picture of her grandfather. Y’all, she was so excited! I wish I could’ve captured the exact moment she saw him. Absolutely beautiful! Here’s a video of her sharing the news with a couple from New York.

Feeling grateful and blessed. Only God could have placed us together. I love the way He loves me.♥️

This memory is so timely! Today I’m hanging with my elder bestie and one of her friends. We’re headed to visit the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum.

I feel so honored and blessed to tour the museum with someone who lived through and was actively involved in the Civil Rights movement. My friend, Raylawni Branch, was one of the first two African Americans to integrate the University of Southern Mississippi. She’s a beautiful living legend and very active veteran (retired Air Force Lt. Colonel) who keeps me laughing. Never a dull moment with her!

Y’all, I’m so blessed.

Cherishing this moment.♥️

Today’s a new day! Embrace the goodness God sends your way.♥️

Trusting God is like free falling off the highest cliff, knowing you’ll land on your feet.

Trusting God is like going down a pitch-black road without lights, knowing you’ll make it through without incident.

Trusting God is like being in a tiny boat in the middle of the ocean without a paddle or sail—without any land in sight—knowing you’ll make it to shore safely.

Trusting God—blindly trusting God—is one of the most frightening and unnerving things you’ll ever do, yet it will always be the most rewarding. I’m so sure of this.

I dare you to trust God totally, completely, blindly.

Yes, you’ll feel crazy.

Yes, you’ll feel vulnerable.

Yes, you’ll feel alone.

But the gift you’ll receive on the other end will be worth it.

Trust GOD.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

**This was written for YOU.

Wayne Gretzky is right. You’ll always miss 100% of shots never taken.

My advice (which is how I’ve been living lately)—Take the shot! You may miss. Then again, you may score. But you’ll never know unless you take the shot.

I’m rooting for you!!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
