My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Several years ago, I asked.
Today, God is filling in the details.
Forever grateful for His love and guidance. Y’all, I am forever in awe of Him.
Also, I must give myself some credit. I am really proud of myself for being obedient and following through. For taking leaps into the unknown. For fully trusting God. Honestly, I’m a bit amazed at myself. I did it. I’m doing it!
Yes, I asked. Now, God’s doing the rest.
Beyond Blessed♥️
I had to laugh when this thought came to mind because I do tend to over share. However, I don’t share everything. Laughing
Here’s what I learned while growing up, a lesson that was reinforced while I was in the military. We make our best moves when we’re silent. Silence and strategy matters. Now, this doesn’t mean I got something cooking.😏😄 I’m just saying everything doesn’t need to be shared.
On a serious note, though—which is something I learned from being too open—not every friendly person is your friend, and not everyone interested in what you’re doing has your best interests at heart. So it’s best to keep some things to yourself. Especially, the things that are dear and close to your heart.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
Yesterday, I came to the conclusion that although I ask and believe, not everything is meant to be received or received when asked. It’s either not the right time or simply not meant to happen. That was my thought yesterday.
My confirmation…
This morning, my Facebook memories were filled with posts about a time when I asked for something, and the following week, I received what I had asked for. Happened just that quick! And this wasn’t anything small. This one was pretty big. Honestly, I am still in awe of how it just happened. It was like God handed me my request on a platter. And the most beautiful part is that I knew He did it for me because of how things happened. Y’all, He’s so smooth. Smiling
Today’s memory only confirms my conclusion from yesterday—it is either about timing or not meant to happen. I accept both. Whatever happens will happen, and whatever doesn’t won’t. Either way, I am at peace. I have seen God work before, so I honor His decisions.
Y’all, I’m so thankful for God’s love. He’s so amazing. I am beyond blessed.🥰
I pray you have a wonderful day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
This morning when I heard, “This is bigger than you,” I thought it was meant for me to share as one of today’s posts. So I created a graphic for the message and shared it (see It’s Greater Than You).
Well, I just opened my journal and all I had written was “This is bigger than you.” When I tell you I got chills! Listen, I don’t know what God is doing, but whatever it is it’s bigger than me.
Whew! Chillz!!
Believe me, a few words of inspiration can go a long way. Here’s what I shared two years ago.
Listen, don’t wait! Create, build, do, or try something new, today!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
The work God is doing through you is much greater than you. It’s not only about you.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
Since 2020, I have begun my day with reading Psalm 113. It all started when my friend Tara sent me a scripture from this chapter, which led me to read the entire chapter. I’ve been reading it every morning since.
Here is what I wrote—
“Before I forget, this morning’s scripture from Tara came from Psalm 113. I was led to read the entire chapter. This chapter matches what I am feeling at the moment. What I was feeling last night. It begins with “Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord…” Whew!”
Praise the Lord, y’all!
I pray you have a lovely day and beautiful week.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Psalm 113 (NIV)
1. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, you his servants; praise the name of the Lord.
2. Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.
3. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.
4. The Lord is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens.
5. Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high,
6. who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?
7. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
8. he seats them with princes, with the princes of his people.
9. He settles the childless [barren] woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord.
In case you needed reminding…

“God has smiled on me. He has set me free. Oh, God has smiled on me. He’s been good to me.”
Amen
Good Morning☀️
On November 17, 2022, I wrote the following in my journal—
“This morning while taking a shower, I could see myself standing before leaders at the UN, an image I’ve seen before. I have no idea what I’m briefing them on or who I’m representing, but I’m there. Now it’s time to be intentional about utilizing what I have and God will add more. I don’t need to know how I’ll get there, I just know that I will.”
When I write about my desire to go to the United Nations, it’s not only because it has been a dream of mine since childhood but because I often see myself there. Y’all, I actually see myself there (at least, that’s where I appear to be). It’s a vision I have had for well over 35 years or more. Over the years, there were times—sometimes years at a time—when I stopped believing in the vision because it seemed too unrealistic. However, there have been other times when the vision has seemed so real that I have taken on opportunities hoping they’d help me reach the vision faster. Well, those opportunities never worked. I wasted a lot of time and money; however, all was not lost. I did gain knowledge, experience, and a few skills I didn’t have before.
Today, I’m more mindful about the oppotunities I pursue and accept—been using more discernment and following God’s guidance. As I wrote two years ago, I don’t need to know how I’ll get there, I only need to know that I will. Right now, my job is to focus on the tasks/assignments at hand, and allow God to do the rest.
Are there dreams/visions God has given you that seem unrealistic or unattainable? If so, how are you handling them? Asking because I really want to know. Smile
I guess I’ll end here. I pray you have a wonderfully, relaxing day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
