My Journey With God, No. 16

Today has been a very busy day. I have been multitasking nonstop since early this morning. I just paused for a moment to catch my breath and share my afternoon post.

The following is an excerpt from last year’s journal entry. It references another journal entry I made in 2017 when I thought about the advice I would give to my five-year-old self. Here’s what I wrote—

“You’re going to have some good days and some bad days. Sometimes you’re going to feel like giving up, but you won’t. You’re a survivor. See every moment as an adventure. It will help you through the tough times. Don’t be afraid to take chances. Don’t settle for less than what you want and what you’re worth.”

Whew… ALL of that has been the story of my life—not giving up, viewing difficulties as adventures, taking leaps, being a survivor/superhuman, and not settling. Yeah…that’s been the story of my life, but now I’m tired. Now, it’s time to advise little Shaun on how to thrive without being that survivor/superhuman. On how to take better care of herself while taking leaps. And still, never settling for less than what she wants and what she’s worth—this part is nonnegotiable.

On another note…

During a meeting today, someone referred to me as middle–aged. I was like, “Who? Me?” Then I thought about it, I am over half a century old soooo… I must be middle–aged. Smile

Life…gotta love it.♥️

Praying For You

Shared last year, November 13, 2023, with the following caption: “Sending up prayers for every single soul on this planet. Yes… Every. Single. Soul. Including YOU!

Guess what?! If you’re reading this, I just prayed for you. Well… I am praying for you as I write. Smile

Remember this, YOU are loved, and someone is praying for you.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Worth The Wait

Good Morning!☀️

Today’s post is short and sweet. It’s a question I ask myself from time to time.

“Is what you’re waiting for worth the wait?”

That’s it. That’s the question—just a little something to ponder.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

It’s Time!!

NOW is the time to take that leap you’ve been dreaming of taking but have been too afraid to take. Yes, it’s time!

Here are a few hashtags I used when I shared this message on social media—

It’s time! As I said in my previous post, You will win! You were born to do so.♥️

Love you,

You Are A Winner

Good Morning☀️

Guess what?! You were born to win! What may seem like a loss at the moment is a win for the future. God sees and knows things we are not privileged to. So, do not be too discouraged by what appears to be a loss. You will win!

As the song says, “Don’t wait ‘til the battle is over, shout now. You know in the end, you’re gonna win.” — “When The Battle Is Over” by Walter Hawkins (This used to be the song! IYKYK 😁)

And this isn’t about the election, it’s about life in general. YOU will win.

Shared on November 12, 2022 with the caption: “YOU were born to WIN! I love you and God loves you too. Have a blessed day!”

That’s all for now! Wishing you a winning day!🙌🏽♥️

Love you always,

Shaun
