Thank You, Lord
Thank You, Lord
Thank You, Lord
I just want to thank
You, Lord
You’ve been so good
You’ve been so good
You’ve been so good
I just want to thank
You, Lord
Flashback to when the rain was gone and the sun was shining. Grateful for both, the sun and the rain. Both are necessary for growth. However, I really prefer the sunshine. Don’t we all?☺️
Blessed!♥️

Today is the day the world lost a basketball phenomenon, Kobe Bryant. Kobe was king on and off the court. His love for the game, his family, and life was top tier. Not too many could live life like Kobe lived his. Excellence in all areas of life was his real game. He is truly missed.♥️
Facebook Memory: January 26, 2021 (a year afterwards)
When I heard Kobe had passed, I thought it was fake news. I just knew he had more time with us. He was so young. And baby Gianna.😢 As my dad said when my brother died, God doesn’t make mistakes. I just wish my heart understood.💔 Kobe was notorious for living every moment of his life to its fullest. I admired his love for the game AND his family. So many can’t balance both, or don’t make an effort to, but he did.❤️❤️❤️
Listen, we never know if today will be our last (I pray not) so I believe we should live it as if it were. Y’all, we can’t keep saying, “I’ll do it tomorrow,” “I’ll take that opportunity the next time it comes around,” “I’ll do what I love doing after XYZ.” Honestly, you may not get a second chance. So make things happen, TODAY! You don’t have to have it all figured out, just put an effort towards doing it. Doing something is better than doing nothing. I love y’all.🙏🏽❤️
Here are a few of the photos I shared. Back in the 90s I was a huge basketball fan and collected basketball cards. As you can see I still have some of the card collectors magazines. I loved my cards.
The song I’m currently hearing is Tim McGraw’s, “Live Like You Were Dying.” Believe me, it’s not as sad as it sounds. It just makes you think about how you’re living or not living. You know, what’s truly important and what’s not as important as you believe. It puts so many things into perspective. Makes you want to live life to its fullest.
That’s all for now. Please take care of yourselves. Love you!♥️

Earlier, someone liked a tweet I posted nearly eight years ago. Not sure how old tweets pop up because I never seem to see them, but evidently someone does. Here’s the tweet.
X (formerly known as Twitter): June 21, 2016
Looking back over the past eight years, so many things happened that could have destroyed my spirit, made me give up, made me settle, made me lose faith, yet here I am. I am still standing and moving forward. As people say, I am so glad I don’t look like what I have been through. God is so good and merciful.
Not sure what prompted me to make that post. Sometimes I just post what I feel or hear. Either way, I see that someone needed that message today.
Here’s what I will add today. God already knows the outcome of our situations. He knew before we even knew there would be one. Our job is to rest in Him while He takes us through whatever we need to go through to get to the other side. As I mentioned before, there were plenty of things that could have taken me out, but I am still here. I am so grateful I didn’t give up or give in. Y’all, God is so good!
Listen, don’t give up. God’s got you! You will get through this. Right now I am hearing this song we used to sing in church (there are different variations) — “How I got over. How I got over. My soul looks back and wonder, how I got over.” Amen
Have a blessed day! Love you!♥️

Who can relate?
In difficult times, it seems easier to put God first. You know, that’s when we are deep in prayer so we are usually communicating with Him often. But, how about when times are good and everything is going well? Is He still first, or is He second, third, or even last to everything else?
A few years ago, I created a daily routine to ensure I put God first because I noticed when things were going well I did not spend as much time with Him as I did before. Now, don’t get me wrong I still said a quick prayer in the morning and acknowledged Him throughout my day; however, I stopped dedicating time to only Him. I would say I would get to it later, and sadly, later never came. Now, I intentionally set aside time. Y’all, so much is revealed during these times. It’s during these times that I actually feel closer to God. It’s when my faith is strengthened.
If you find yourself forgetting to prioritize God, maybe you should do as I did and create a plan where He is always first. Just a thought.
Wishing you a wonderful day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Life is so worth living so LIVE!♥️
Love you always,

Happy 50 years 7 months to me!! Yay!! Still can’t believe I am 50! What a blessing.
As you know, today is the day my daughter is moving to another state. In fact, she and her fiancé just left. No tears, only smiles. They are in God’s hands.
Just thinking about how around 29 years ago my baby girl was preparing to make her debut. I guess you can say I am feeling what I felt the day she entered the world. It was the day my life changed and I began my new journey as a mother. Now, another journey is beginning. Smiling
At this moment I can hear Mariah Carey singing, “Butterfly.”
When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It’s easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imagined I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open up my hands
And watch you rise …
So flutter through the sky
Butterfly
Fly
Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
Well, that’s all I have for this month’s birthday celebration. Only five months left! All I have to say is, “God’s will be done.” Amen
Enjoy your day!♥️
