My Journey With God, No. 80
When I tell you God KNOWS just what we need when we need it! I needed this message below to kick off today’s celebration.🎉
“Leave No Crumbs” by Sarah Jakes Roberts
Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts’ (SJR) words reminded me that I’m not who I used to be. I’m no longer the person I was ten years ago, not even a year ago (yeah…my life is transitioning fast). As she suggested in her message, the self-preservation method I was using before is no longer effective for where God is taking me. It’s time for me to let it go, stop resisting the change, and embrace the newest version of myself so I can move forward. I’ve been feeling this a lot lately. I just needed to hear it, and hear it clearly.
I’m listening, God! I’m ready for where you’re taking me!
Forever grateful and beyond blessed to experience and reside in God’s love.♥️

Lord, Guide Me
Good Morning☀️
Ten years ago, I ended my journal entry with, “Lord, please guide me.”
Ten years ago, my entire world changed. During the final days of March 2015, I experienced my greatest heartbreak but also my greatest relief. My ex-husband had finally moved out. That was the relief. However, the greatest heartbreak came from those I always thought would have my back but instead turned their backs on me.
Y’all, it’s been a very long ten years. Not only did I have to rebuild a life for me and my two (my hearts and rocks!), but I had to rebuild relationships. I’m not going to go into details, but just know that when I say I made it, believe me—I MADE IT!!!
I am forever indebted to God. I know I wouldn’t be here had it not been for Him. I am so grateful for His love, mercy, grace, kindness, patience and GUIDANCE. I asked for His guidance, and He answered.
Today, I’m celebrating.
Yes, I’m celebrating!
I made it!!🎉
Thank you so much for your love and continued support. I pray you have a beautifully, blessed day!♥️
I love you,
Shaun
Protect Your Peace
This weekend, I was told that nothing seems to bother me and that I’m always calm. Well, if you read my post from yesterday, “Look At God,” you’d know that’s not entirely true. Things do bother me, but I have learned not to dwell on them and to keep moving. It’s called moving and living in a space of peace.
Here’s what I have learned over the years. Peace is not something you can buy, nor can it be masked and displayed for others to see. True peace happens within. There’s this calmness you feel inside—even when chaos surrounds you and your mind begins to worry (yes, it still happens—you’re human)—this deep peace within never wavers. That’s the peace I’m referring to. It’s that peace only God can give! Listen, once you have it, you’ll do whatever you must to protect it.
Protect your peace.♥️
Love you much,
Shaun
Hang In There

Good Night (45)
Still singing Koryn Hawthorne’s “Look At God.”
Y’all, today was a wonderful day.
You want to know why?
Because God was definitely in it.
Forever grateful for God’s love and grace.
I am truly blessed.♥️

Look At God
Moment of transparency.
Here’s what I shared on social media this morning. All week I’ve been sharing photos leading up to the conference. Not only of myself, but photos from past conferences. So, of course, today I needed to share. Well, here’s what I shared this morning.
Today is a good day because God is in it. Amen.
Been singing Koryne Hawthorne’s “Look at God” all morning.
“Look at God, He’s making a way. Look at God, every day. Look at God, I can’t take no credit, He’s the one who did it.
Look at God, oh, look at God.”
Yeah… That’s what I shared. And I was singing and listening to “Look At God,” because God showed up this morning! You know that still small voice we often hear but ignore? Well, I heard the voice last night when I set my alarm, but I blew it off. And guess what?! I over slept!
I chose the alarm set for weekdays instead of daily. I heard to voice say, “It says, ‘weekdays.’” But did I listen? Noooo… I was like, that’s what it says but that’s not what it means. Well, I ended up paying for it this morning. Y’all, I only had 40 minutes to get ready. I had plans to curl my hair, eat breakfast, pack, and checkout before I went to the conference. Didn’t have time to do any of it. HOWEVER, I made it to the conference on time.
I’m writing all of this to say, even when we don’t listen, God still has our backs!!! And it’s raining anyway so my curls wouldn’t have lasted. I still got to eat breakfast because our board meeting ended early. Now, I’m back at the hotel writing this post before I pack to check out.
Look at God!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’m soooooo very grateful He loves me!
Now, let me hurry up and get back to this conference.
Hope your day’s going well!
Love you,
Shaun
