Prayers For You

Over the past few months, I’ve been doing so well with sleeping most of the night. I’ve only had a few days where I’ve fallen asleep so early that I wake up in the wee hours of the morning. And when I would, I made sure not to click on any social media apps. Well, today was different. I clicked. And the first thing that greeted me was the news of Hayden Panettiere’s passing.

Y’all, life is so fragile—so delicate.

On this day a year ago, I wrote “Sending Up Prayers.”

Today, I shared “Prayers” under Shaun’s Daily Inspiration. Here’s what I wrote:

“Sending up prayers for all in need. For those suffering in silence. For those on the verge of a breakdown. For those who feel like they can’t make it another second and are hanging on by a thread.

Father God, place them in your loving arms, hold them close, and never let them go. Give them peace and comfort. Let them know that they are loved and they are not alone. Amen

Scripture: Psalm 61:1-2

“Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to You, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than l.”

Song of the Hour:Savior More Than Life” by Kirk Franklin & The Family


Allow God in. Allow Him to comfort you. Allow Him to bring you peace. Let Him hold you and love you. You are not alone.🙏🏽

I’m going to attempt to go back to sleep. Please give whatever’s burdening you to God.

Wishing you a blessed day and week.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

God’s Timing, gratitude

Happy Friday!

It’s Friday! Seems like this week flew by. Honestly, this year is flying by. Don’t blink too fast because it’ll be over and you’ll find yourself in the middle of 2027 asking where the time went.

Time…

It’s a tricky little thing.

So complex and should be respected.

Today, my goal is to be intentional about moving in the present. I want to feel the space I’m in right now. This afternoon, tomorrow, next week, and next year will have a space of their own. This time in space is what I’ve been blessed with and I’m going to handle it with care.

I pray you have an amazing Friday and an even better weekend.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

I pray your day has started off as beautiful as mine. Wishing you a wonderful day and a blessed week. May it be filled with love, joy, and peace.♥️

I love you,

Grateful, Grateful, Grateful

This morning I’m singing Hezekiah Walker’s song “Grateful.” The song says—

I am grateful for the things that You have done. Yes, I’m grateful for the victories we’ve won. I could go on and on and on about Your works. Because I’m grateful, grateful, so grateful just to praise You, Lord. Flowing from my heart are the issues of my heart, it’s gratefulness.

Grateful by Hezekiah Walker

Flowing from my heart is gratefulness.

Y’all, I’m here!

I’m here!!

Just being alive is a blessing. God has given me yet another chance to experience His love, glory, kindness, and grace. For this, I’m truly grateful.


I pray you have a lovely day. It’s sprinkling where I am—mild tropical storm weather. Think I’ll take it easy today. Treat it like a lazy, rain day.☺️

Enjoy your day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Morning Praise and Worship

Kirk Franklin’s “Lookin’ Out For Me” has been playing over and over in my head since I woke up. The song says—

Every time I look back
And everytime I think back
On all the stuff I been through
I prayed through
I cried through
And then I tried you
And just when I was about to fall
Your love caught me when your name I called
Jesus you keep on looking out for me

Y’all, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit—the Trinity—are forever looking out for me. It’s truly a blessing to be loved and completely covered. It’s something I don’t take lightly or for granted.

Now, I’m hearing John P. Kee’s “I Do Worship.”

As you can see, my spirit is having its own praise and worship service this morning, and I’m here for it! Smile

I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

It’s A GOD Thing

Good Morning!

This message seems to be etched in my mind this morning—It’s a GOD thing.

Yep!

That’s the message.

It’s above your pay grade, so give it back to GOD. Give it ALL to Him.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Rejoice, Pray, and Give Thanks

Good Morning!☀️

I pray all is well with you.🌸

Here’s an encouraging reminder from a year ago—

“Get up. God has conquered your storm.”

On the same day, I shared the following video on YouTube: “Get Up! Your storm is over now.”

Listen. Never underestimate the power of God, nor the power of prayer and praise. Keep praying. Keep praising. In good times, as well as bad. It’s easy to slack off when things are good, but those are the prayers and praises that keep you strong during the storms. They keep you going!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)

16. Rejoice always,

17. Pray continually,

18. Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Rejoice, pray, and give thanks. (Repeat)


Today’s the final day of my birthday month. I truly enjoyed my celebrations. Smiling as I think about my time with my babies. Just thinking about our conversations and their smiles makes my heart sing. I love them so much.🥰🥰

I pray you have a wonderful day and fabulous week! May both be filled with love, joy, peace, and unexpected favor (claiming this for myself too☺️).

God is good.♥️

I love you much,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Happy Sunday!

Rather, Happy Self-Care Sunday!

Today is the last Sunday of my birthday month, and I’ve decided to relax a little more than usual. Not in a rush to do anything. Today, I’m taking it easy and going with the flow.


This morning, I took my time reading through my Facebook memories. Here are a few random memories that made me smile. I’ll start with June 29, 2019.

June of 2019 was a pivotal month for me. It was the month my divorce was finalized. It wasn’t until my birthday, maybe a couple of days afterwards, that I celebrated being FREE. That year’s theme was “46 and Free🦋.” I had waited so long for it to happen—years. And then, I was free.

This was a second chance at life. One that I didn’t take lightly. A decision I am still grateful I made.🦋
This was me celebrating my newfound freedom. Enjoying the water and good food.
This is a picture of my babies using my location to pull up on me. I was so surprised.😂 I just love them.🥰🥰

Maybe I’ll take a ride down to the coast. That’s if I can let this bed go.☺️

Here are a few more memories from June 29th.

The flowers, the pinks, the gold, the look, the quote—all made me smile. I’m forever a princess at heart. Even when I’m ninety, I’ll be a princess.🌸💗☺️

Ralph T, Rizz, Rizzo! The New Edition king that’s often slept on. Johnny Gill is usually my go-to; however, for some reason, on that day, I decided to listen to Ralph. Yep… this memory made me smile. NE4Life✨

Yes, I’m God’s vessel. His glory radiates through and from me.☺️✨

Great memories!

Favor, overflow, and grace. This is Year52.🎉


I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love, peace, joy, and laughter.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Being Present And At Peace

One of my themes for my fiftieth birthday year was, “Present and At Peace.” I shared the following on this day in 2023—

That was two years ago. Here’s what I’ve discovered since—

Yes, this is peace.♥️

Love you,
