My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
You better live! Life isn’t slowing down or waiting for you to catch up. Stop putting everyone else first like they’re more important than you. Listen… and hear me good… No one is more important or more valuable than you are. No one! You’re not being selfish, self-centered or inconsiderate. Nah… You’re just recognizing your worth. Now it’s time you start living in it. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun
Hello Year50!
You do not have to understand the process to trust it. God’s got you covered.♥️ ~ Shaun
As I mentioned a few days ago, Zhané’s, “For A Reason,” used to be one of those songs I couldn’t shake for a while. Four years ago, it seemed like that particular song and the message, “Everything happens for a reason,” was showing up everywhere.
October 5th…
October 5, 2019 was my brother’s 46th and final birthday. They say time heals, but the pain of his death still stings. It doesn’t hurt as bad as it used to but it still hurts. A few days after his birthday my mom told me that my uncle, who is now running for a state office, had been rushed to the hospital. All I kept thinking was he couldn’t die. We were the same age and basically grew up like siblings. I said I couldn’t imagine life without him. Little did I know my brother was also sick and was about to pass away. Life…
Here’s a Facebook memory from October 5, 2019. Talk about eerie.
Second message this week about everything happens for a reason. So I must make it today’s social media find. Rest assured God’s got you. He already has everything worked out. Just trust Him. Believe me, I know it’s easier said than done, but it’s something we must learn to do. Y’all have a blessed day.🙏🏽♥️
Today would have been my brother’s 50th birthday. Life without him just isn’t the same. I miss him.
Today has been somewhat of a long day. A long, good day. Today I witnessed God in action. I could see him working. Y’all know I love watching Him work. Smile. Listen, He really is amazing.
Before I say good night, allow me to leave you with this—remember who you are and whose you are. No matter where you go, who you’re with, what you’re doing—remember who you are and whose you are.
Life is changing. Atmospheres are shifting. Spaces no longer look or feel familiar. Stay grounded. Stay centered. Stay prayed up. Continue allowing God to lead. If it doesn’t feel right, listen to your gut because it’s not right. Wishing you a peaceful night.
Good Night♥️

There is power in the wait. Don’t believe me? Keep waiting. God is going to blow your mind.♥️ ~ Shaun
As soon as I published my last blog I could hear God speaking, calming my frustration. Yes, I was a little frustrated. Here is the message He gave me. Hopefully you can use it too. It’s for all of us who have become frustrated with this growth process.
The message…
Do not be discouraged. You are exactly where you are suppose to be. You may think that you should be further along but you are not. Timing is everything.
Then I was reminded of what a speaker had said about timing. They said everything happens at an appointed time—meaning everything connects when it is meant to. I’m not sure who said it but they said what if the person you were meant to connect with wasn’t even born when you expected things to happen. What if God is still preparing that person or thing you are supposed to connect with? Do you jump the gun because you are too impatient to wait? Do you ditch the process all together because you do not see anything happening? Or do you wait, and continue waiting, until the time is right?
God has reassured me that everything will happen at its appointed time. Frustration will also happen. Unfortunately, it is part of the process. However, we do not have to give in to our frustrations or make rash decisions. No, what we must do is lean into God even more, and allow Him to guide us to where we are meant to be. We will get there. Love you!♥️

Facebook Memory: October 4, 2022
Where you begin rarely looks like what you envisioned. Give yourself space, time and grace to grow. Don’t give up. You’ll get there!♥️
On another note, “Savior More Than Life,” by Kirk Franklin and The Family is still on repeat in my head. It’s been like this for days now. I can listen to music all day but once I turn it off, this song pops back up. Is my spirit on auto-worship mode and this is its worship song? Right now I am hearing that I just need to lean into God a little more as if a protection mode has been activated. Whew, Lord. I’m listening.
Well, this is how my day has started. As I stated above, growth is a process and I am still growing. Some days I have no idea if I am still in seed form or if my leaves are finally growing. When will my flowers begin budding? Sighing. Only time and life will tell. Until then, I guess I will lean into God a little more—get all comfy—and allow Him to love on me. Y’all have a wonderful day.
Love you!♥️

Simple question. Do you trust God? Completely trust Him?
Then take your hands off the wheel. He’s got this. Trust Him like you keep saying you do.
Love you!♥️

Life is going to happen regardless. Staying centered means blocking outside and internal noises, and only focusing on yourself and God.
Yes, life is going to do what it does. Do not let it drag you with it.♥️ ~ Shaun
I’m not a TikTok person. Have never been able to spend more than a few minutes on it. However, tonight I have already spent over an hour watching videos. How did I get sucked in?! Guess it’s one more app I’m going to have to be intentional about staying off of.
Anyhoo… life is good. And according to TikTok, I am doing better than a lot of people. Tonight I have seen so many videos about betrayals, breakups, gossip and everything in between. Y’all, I watched things I wouldn’t normally spend my time on. Shaking my head… Yeah, I gotta stay away from TikTok. Listen, that “For You,” isn’t for me. Sticking with my little group of friends and the people I actually follow. That “For You” will have you all depressed and distrusting everybody. Kind of like those Lifetime movies. Let me go back to YouTube.
Before I end, I want to pray for those who are hurting, those who are heartbroken, those who have been betrayed, those who are broken but pretending to be well, praying for those who are trying to make it from day to day. May God hold them a little closer. Praying He wipes away their tears and heals their hearts.
People are really hurting…
Good Night♥️
Shaun
