Once you step into certain spaces, you cannot return to where you were. The life you once knew no longer exists. You may try to return, but things will not be the same. Your new experiences will have changed you. Same scenery, different you. So, before you speak anything into existence, make certain you know what you are manifesting. Is it worth the change? If so, go for it! Just know that you can never return to what was.
Y’all, I woke up screaming! In my head, of course. In exactly ONE MONTH, I will be 50!!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!
Last night, I was kind of down. Was thinking about how Momma won’t be here to celebrate my 50th with me. Then, this morning I woke up excited. I’m actually going to be half a century. How cool is that!
Last year, my best friends/sister friends and I were trying to decide what we wanted to do for our 50th year. We thought about RVing across the states and flying to Alaska and Hawaii. Considered stopping in Los Angeles for the BET awards since it fell on my birthday weekend. Like we were really going to get in. Laughing. Cool fact– This year they are celebrating 50 years of Hip Hop!
Well, those were our plans until August happened. After August, the planning ceased.
I was talking to one of my sister friends after Momma died and she mentioned her plans during June and never once mentioned my birthday. That was the first time ever. She has always mentioned my birthday. I understood. I knew she probably thought that was the last thing I wanted to discuss, but I kind of felt forgotten. Anyhoo… that was last week and even yesterday.
Today, I am excited about my birthday again, and I’m so glad that I am. I love celebrating my birthdays and 50 is a big one. Y’all, I will be half a century old. Regal
I love my life and I love how God loves me. Y’all, He will not let me stay down. Yes, I’m blessed.♥️
Just call me Queen Shaun! Smile
Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week. Be Blessed
So… I was just scrolling through Twitter and saw this tweet. When I tell you it stopped me in my tracks. Felt like lightning had struck my soul and exposed my deepest secret! Well, it’s no longer a secret because I am about to share it here. Wanted to plaster it all over Twitter, Facebook and IG, but too many people would see it. There are certain things I just do not feel comfortable with sharing on those platforms which include anything personal about love or relationships. Anyway, I really wanted to share it so I decided to share it here. Sharing things in my blog makes me feel like I’m speaking to the universe and not necessarily to others. I know it sounds crazy so don’t even try to figure it out. My world. My life. Smile
Here’s what happened…
This guy, Stephan Labossiere, shared the following tweet–
“Don’t be afraid when someone loves you back.”
Okay.. so I’m a little dramatic. Laughing. I know it doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it’s a big deal to me. The possibility of someone actually loving me back is frightening. I don’t know why. Maybe, it’s because them loving me back would make the dream real. It’s what I have always wanted, right?
What’s crazy is I trust myself to give love; however, I have never trusted anyone enough to receive that love back. My thought has always been, is it really possible for someone to love me as much as I love them? Hmm…
God, I believe I finally get it, if I do not open up my heart and mind to the possibility of being loved, I will never receive it.
Y’all, I think I have entered another level of freedom. Escaping
No, I do not have some BIG revaluation to share related to God’s favor. Laughing. I just wanted to come back and share something small.
Listen, God’s favor does not have to be something elaborate. Most of the time His favor comes in forms that we often overlook or take for granted, like quiet times and peaceful moments. These are gifts. Enjoy them.
This means– GET OFF SOCIAL MEDIA, SHAUN!!
Yeah… as I have said many times before, the majority of these messages are for me; however, I tend to share them with you. Listen, I refuse to believe I am the only one who needs these messages. Smile
Here is a message that God gave me this morning. It was definitely for me; however, I am sharing it with you because I know I am not the only one with an ego problem. Smile. Do not allow pride to come between you and your blessing(s).
Message–
Be sure to check your ego at the door. It’s not charity. It’s God’s favor.♥️ ~ Shaun
Favor is the byproduct of being God’s child. Accept it.
You have put in the work as well as remained patient. Now it’s time to reap what you have sown. Yes, it’s Harvest Season. Go get your blessings!♥️ ~ Shaun
Yes, the hard work is done. It’s over. Now it’s time to reap your blessings!
Happy Sunday! Here’s a screenshot of a Facebook story I shared two years ago, May 21, 2021. It appears that trusting God, having patience and living in peace is my theme for life. It’s how I operate.
Praying you have a blessed and peaceful Sunday.♥️ ~ Shaun
On another note–It’s been exactly one year since my son graduated from high school. Two weeks ago he finished his freshman year of college. Y’all, I am so proud of him!Can’t believe I have two adults adulting.Smiling. God is good.
Singing– “When I think of the goodness of Jesus and all He’s done for me, my very soul cries out ‘Hallelujah!’ I thank God for saving me.”
I have so much to be thankful for. The fact that I am still alive, sane and living is worth a lifetime of praises. Amen
I am also thankful for the gift of motherhood. Many of you already know how much I love my two. They are my hearts and smiles. To love them and be loved by them is one of the greatest feelings in the world. It absolutely blows my mind that God chose me, Shaun, to be their mother. I am truly blessed.
