My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
“Focus on your purpose and God will do the rest.”
That’s been God’s message to me for years now, to stay focused. No need to try to figure everything out on my own or worry about time. My job is, and has always been, to stay focused on my purpose. As many of us know, that’s often easier said than done. However, I’m getting there.
How about you? How are you doing with staying focused? Just thought I’d ask. Smile
Listen, have a blessed day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!
On this date last year, I was singing The Winans song, “Everything You Touch Is A Song.” The song says:
“I think that a song should be something more than a beautiful melody. To tell the story of truth and reality.
I think that a song should be sung by a man who knows the meaning of sorrow and the meaning of true love.
I think that a song should be shared among friends. Then when friends are gone, the melody and meaning still lingers on.”
The song finally ends with, “Everything You [God] touch is a song.”
What a great way to start the day knowing that God’s touch results in a beautiful song; and YOU, my friend, are one of His songs. How wonderful is that!
Praying you enjoy your day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good night/morning! Before drifting off to sleep I wanted to share this gem.
God’s grace is enough. It’s priceless.
Praying you have a restful night.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
On September 3rd, I wrote (see “No More Hiding God’s Greatness”):
When was the last time you publicly celebrated your achievements? Is it something you find easy to do? Asking because I have always found it difficult, until recently. Now, I celebrate even the smallest of successes. … I mean, how can I fully represent God if I continue to downplay the magnitude of His greatness in my life? Y’all, He’s been too good to me. As I have said many times before, I am beyond blessed.
Y’all, I’m staying true to what I wrote. No more hiding what God’s doing. I also wrote in that post that back in 2016-2017 barely anyone knew I was the president of our state’s dietetics’ association. The only ones who knew were the dietitians who belonged to the organization, and some of them probably didn’t even know if they weren’t active. Don’t get me wrong, I was honored to hold the position; however, I was too humble for my own good to walk in it. Today, I realize that when you downplay your role, not only do you limit your effectiveness, but you limit your reach. You limit what God can do. Lesson learned.
Here I am today…
Listen, when God places a dream in your heart—it will be. When I first held the position nine years ago, I felt as if I was finally walking in my purpose. I just knew that I was where I belonged, and it was only up from there. Then, life happened, and things didn’t go as expected. So, after I had served my three years (president-elect, president, and past president), I assumed that part of my life was over.
But it wasn’t…
Never in a million years did I expect to do it again. Even up until the moment I was asked if I’d consider running, the thought had never crossed my mind. However, once it was out there, I was reminded that I had said on this side of 50 I would not say “No” to things and opportunities that aligned with my purpose. And this still aligns with my purpose. So, instead of saying “No,” I said “Yes.”
Ha!! And to think I thought that part of my life was over.
Listen… DO NOT give up!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Facebook Memory: September 17, 2022
Keep moving. You’ve come too far to give up on your dreams, goals and purpose. Just because you can’t see or feel God working, doesn’t mean He isn’t. Imagine if you were to quit today and tomorrow everything was set to fall in place. Again– Keep moving!♥️
Honestly, most of the time I feel like the “Little Engine That Could”. Like I’m living on this steep hill, and although I’m moving forward, it’s a struggle and barely noticeable. One stall and I might slip. Then, I’ll have to start all over. So, I never truly stop. Nope, I keep moving. An inch here and several there, but I never stop moving. It’s little reminders like this (the gems I’ve left myself over the years) that have kept me going.
I’m not going to quit. God’s brought me too far to stop now.
I pray you’re moving in the direction of your goals and dreams, even if you’re not moving fast. Remember, God’s timing is everything. Just keep moving! Things will happen right on time.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
This particular Facebook memory from a year ago marked the beginning of something new. I was finally fully releasing the old—everything on the other side of 50—and welcoming the new. It was my Jubilee year and I was adamant about things on this side of 50 being different, being new.
Facebook Memory: September 17, 2023
I believe! Do you?!🌟
I love watching God work. He’s so amazing!♥️
As I mentioned, it was my Jubilee (50th) year. Not only did I want things to be different and new, I needed them to be. I had lost my mom a little over a month before my birthday (she passed that May, a few days before Mother’s Day), and life was kind of weird. That’s the only way I can explain it. Not only was I celebrating my 50th birthday year, but I was also mourning the loss of my mom while attempting to celebrate life. What a time that was! I tried to make it as exciting as I could. However, as I said throughout that year, it wasn’t the year I had imagined or expected, but it was definitely the year I needed. Yeah… I needed it. I can’t say it enough, I’m beyond blessed.🙏🏽
Well, that’s all I have for now. Wishing you an amazing day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
