My Journey With God, No. 134

The dome inside the MS State Capitol Building
Facebook’s gentle reminder of where I was eight years ago—the State Capitol, and it’s where I was again a few days ago.

I’m not entirely sure where God is leading me. Most of my life I thought I knew. All I had and still have is the vision He gave me.

For years, I tried to follow different paths to reach the vision, only to realize I wasn’t in control—God was (and is). I now know I can only reach the vision by allowing Him to lead.


I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me!♥️

So Close

March 14, 2024

Two years ago, I wrote the following:

Distractions will come.
Setbacks will happen.
Never stop climbing.

Rest when needed.
Crawl if you must.
But never stop climbing.

You are so close to your dreams. Keep climbing.


It’s true. You’re closer to seeing more of your dreams come true than ever before. Be careful not to get caught up in things that aren’t going as planned, those are distractions. Instead, focus on what’s going right and moving you in the right direction. Those are the things that are moving you closer to everything you dreamed.

Keep climbing!

You’ve got this!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Don’t Do It Without Me

Up singing Bishop Paul S. Morton’s song, “Don’t Do It Without Me.”

Once again, I’m wide awake and feel like talking. Nothing’s wrong, I just feel like talking. I’m talking about wanting to have a full-blown conversation about nothingness, talking.😂

Anyhoo… The song of the hour is above. Whatever God’s doing in this season, I don’t want to be left out of the mix. I want to stay as close to Him as I possibly can. So close that He’d probably get tired of me.☺️

About to try to go back to sleep. I bet if I try to read something good, I’ll be asleep in less than five minutes. Lol.

Talk to you later!♥️

In God’s Hands

In God’s hands is the best place to be. It doesn’t mean we won’t experience difficult times because, unfortunately, difficult times are a part of life. However, it does mean that God will be with us during those difficult times. The key is recognizing that He’s with us and, instead of depending on ourselves, we depend on Him.


Trust God. He’s got you.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Praise God Always

“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34:1

Father God, thank You for loving me. Thank You for covering me and my family. Thank You for Your mercy and grace. I am beyond blessed. Amen


Never stop praising God. Never. May His praise always be in your mouth.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Put Your Phone Down

Just waking up from a much needed nap—a long nap. I put my phone on Do Not Disturb, turned on the show Bones, and fell asleep while working on a project. When I tell you it was the best sleep! I just knew it was already tomorrow. Lol.

Listen to your body and that still small voice that says, “Put your phone DOWN!” Think I’ll do it more often because I definitely didn’t miss anything. Same old stuff, just a different hour. Shaking my head.

By the way, the song of the hour is Erykah Badu’s “Phone Down.” At least that’s what’s playing over and over in my head.☺️

Y’all have a good night! Hopefully, I can fall back asleep before midnight.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
