My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Today marks the first day of the final month of my Jubilee year, #Year50. When I tell you it’s been some year! A lot of ups and downs, twists and turns, PRUNING (there was a lot) and growing; and I made it! BEYOND grateful for God’s love, mercy, and grace. Loving this side of 50.🌺

I am surrounded by blessings and favor, and it feels absolutely amazing.♥️ ~Shaun
Smiling from ear to ear! Y’all, it’s the final month of my jubilee year! YAY!!!
Today, I can happily report that I am not the same person I was last year. Not the same at all! I asked God to make this side of 50 different, and He is doing just that. Not much has changed physically or outwardly since last year; however, so much has changed internally. Y’all, my mindset is different. If you know anything about the process of change, you know that it has to happen in the mind first. When I tell you I am soooo very proud of me!
In last year’s journal entry, I listed 50 things I wanted to achieve over the next 10 years. The list was very random. I even wrote to write the first things that came to mind, not to overthink it. Well, after revisiting the list, I believe everything I wrote is actually achievable. I can see and feel myself achieving them.
I also wrote, and will end with this:
“God, thank You for being patient with me.”
Y’all, I’m blessed.♥️
This is Year50

As you can see, the screenshot above is from last year, May 23, 2023. When I tell you that caption is a word, for real!
“Be sure to check your ego at the door. It’s not charity. It’s God’s favor.♥️”
And the hashtag!
“Don’t miss your blessing”
Whew!! Y’all already know I’m shouting!! Listen, timing is everything! It is not charity. It’s favor!!!
Okay… I believe I am done for the day. However, if God keep on moving and revealing like He’s been, I’ll definitely write more.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
That’s the word. Complete the assignment!
Y’all, this decade has been one wild ride! Whew!! What I am slowly learning is you have to complete your God given assignments before you can move forward. I don’t care how much you try to dodge them, if there is something that you are meant to do, be ready to encounter the same or similar situations until you complete the assignment or choose to stop moving forward (you settle).
Well, as I am fully entering this next decade (tomorrow will be exactly one month before Year51), I am committed to doing whatever God instructs me to do. A couple of days ago I was reading a past journal entry from several years ago where God had instructed me to do something very specific and I would not do it. Y’all, I allowed fear and my insecurities to get the best of me. Basically, I came up with all kinds of excuses about how others were more qualified and/or equipped for the assignment. Well, a few weeks ago, I encountered that same assignment. The exact same assignment. Y’all, after not moving forward as God instructed, I watched others attempt to do what I was instructed to do. Yes, God will allow you to watch things play out. As I watched, I would always hear, “that’s where you are supposed to be.” However, I allowed my insecurities to make me believe I wasn’t the right person for the job. I didn’t have the resources others did. But, oh how I forgot about the Ultimate Resource—God.
Now, that’s not the only incomplete assignment I have had the pleasure of reencountering. When I tell you this year has been the year of circling back. Every assignment I didn’t fully complete, I have encountered again. The only difference is this time I am not dodging them or trying to hand them off to others. Also, I am no longer spending tons of money on enhancing my skills or obtaining more certifications or degrees. I already have everything I need. What’s blown my mind is the people who really want to work with me, want to work with ME. They have seen the authentic version of me and they still want me. Y’all, people have been reaching out to me for the longest, for years, and I have been turning down opportunities or suggesting others for the jobs. Listen, I am good at recommending others and helping them shine. However, I have not done the same for myself. As I have written before, you have to see and feel yourself there, and I couldn’t. Well… now I can.
I’ll leave you with this, when God has a plan for your life, He won’t even let you mess it up. Now, He will allow you time to get your act together. However, no matter how many times you try to dodge your assignments, they will just keep showing up until you show up!
Side note: I might be writing a little more than usual during this time. It seems to be a pattern of mine. I have noticed that I tend to write more around the end of May and the beginning of June. Maybe it has something to do with my birthday—you know, while one chapter/year is ending and another is beginning. Anyhoo… Ain’t God magnificent! I just love watching Him work.
Thanks for reading! I pray you have the loveliest of days.♥️
Blessings,
Shaun
Wishing you a beautifully, blessed day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
