Being Obedient

I know this may seem weird but I keep hearing that I need to do this. Not sure if anything is wrong. Don’t even know this person. But please help me uplift Keith Sweat in prayer. I mean everyone can use prayer, right?

Be Blessed!♥️

Also, I lift you up in prayer. May God cover you and keep you in His care. Amen

Purpose Part 3

Decided to continue my Purpose series (didn’t know it would become one). For years, I have known what my purpose was/is; however, I have never known how to fully embrace it. My purpose is connected to my dreams and part of my DNA, and there are people attached to them.

Here is another Facebook memory (had so many gems today, some I shared elsewhere):

Facebook Memory: June 8, 2019

Happy Saturday! Here’s today’s social media find. Progress IS progress. Encourage others, but also encourage yourself. It’s true, we’re usually our own worst critic. Just because you’re not where you thought you’d be by now, doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.

This is where journals come in handy. Journals allow us to look back and see how far we’ve actually come. Believe me, if you’re better off than you were a year ago (like me 🙋🏽‍♀️), then you’re making progress. So cut yourself some slack. You’re doing great! Remember, God is working!!

It’s definitely been slow, but continuous. Had a few setbacks but I kept going, and will keep going. Photo Credit: Unknown

This was my first time serving as President-Elect. Beyond grateful for second chances. I had so much more to give, so much more to do. Listen, even when you have given up on your dreams, God has not given up on you. Your purpose is much too great for you not to keep going.

Love you,

Shaun

Maturing, Growing, Evolving, and Becoming

Here’s another gem from my Facebook memories. Y’all, when I wrote it, I had no idea I would ask God to make this side of 50 different. Thought I only needed to tweak a few things. Yeah, that was before the Year50 purge. (Now I can laugh.) But God knew!

As Bishop T. D. Jakes said—please read the blog below for the full impact—“You cannot be who you’re going to be and who you used to be, at the same time.”

Facebook Memory: June 8, 2022

I cannot become who I’m meant to be and be the same person I used to be, at the same time. Wouldn’t be honoring God if I did.

Maturing
Growing
Evolving
Becoming Me

Y’all, if I wanted this side of 50 to be different, I had to intentionally make it different. And that last sentence in my caption. Whew! I would not have been honoring God had I remained the same. Loving this space I am in.♥️

Side note: I am torn between sticking to my schedule of sharing my second post ~ 10:30 AM and posting right after I write. What do you think? Should I stick to my schedule or ditch it and post freely? Today, I’m ditching the schedule because it’s my birthday month!☺️🎉

Purpose Part 2

Listen, I am on a roll today!! Usually, I try to suppress and/or contain my energy because sometimes it can be a little too much. But today I am on a 10, maybe 20! A short while ago, after I shared my last post, I saw a reel by motivational speaker, Trent Shelton (sharing it below). Here’s what I wrote when I reshared it:

One of the REALIST posts ever!🥺 This is what it looks like when you’re fulfilling your purpose. Encouragement is in Trent Shelton’s DNA. It’s who he is.

Side note: No matter how much you try to separate who you are from your God-given purpose/calling, it won’t happen. Believe me, it will keep showing up. So you might as well embrace it. Just like with Trent, it’s in your DNA.

Listen, when you KNOW what your purpose is, when you KNOW who you are, embrace it! Forget trying to fit someone else’s narrative. That’s not you. You are who you are—it’s in your DNA. You (we, including myself) will only be able to live life fully when you embrace and walk in your God-given purpose.

Boo, it’s time to live!♥️

Don’t Mind Me

Listen, don’t mind me. It’s Friday. I’m well rested. And I feel like pouring into others as I am being poured into. Saw this message from Pastor Steven Furtick and wanted to share it with you.

You got this!!

Listen, everything you have been going through and are currently experiencing is just preparation. Think of it as a boot camp. You see, God is preparing you for your upcoming assignment. You know, that assignment you keep trying to avoid but it just won’t go away? Yes…that one.

My advice– Stop running and stand in it! I keep telling you, God’s got you!!♥️ ~Shaun

*This may or may not be my last post for today. We shall see.☺️

The Divine Plan

Last year on this date, I shared two posts—one was about purpose, which I basically reshared this morning, and other was the reblog below. The reblog was based on a message written on a butterfly display —“Your life is unfolding according to The Divine plan.

Stay focused on God, not what’s going on around you. Believe me, He’s got you!

And life is doing just that, unfolding according to God’s plan. Although we have some control over how it unfolds, it’s probably not as much as we would like, and that’s a good thing. Keeps us humble. What I have learned over this past year is to allow life to do what it’s going to do. Of course I must continue to do my part which is to keep striving towards my goals and dreams. However, I cannot get caught up in the whirlwind of things happening around me, nor allow the tactics of the enemy (because they are real) throw me off course. I must remember at all times, and you should too, life is unfolding according to God’s plan, and He is in control.

Praying you have a lovely day and wonderful weekend.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun
