My Journey With God, No. 125

There is absolutely none like Him!

Y’all, last weekend was pretty hectic. Not only was I helping my sister with her little ones so she could rest, but I was also waiting for responses from board members regarding a last minute vote needed before 10:00 AM Monday morning. Y’all, this term as president is no joke! All while trying to act normal—eating and laughing with my sisters, binge watching “Stranger Things,” and helping with four little busy people (I just love my nieces and nephews)—my mind was on so many other things.

After the weekend was over and all votes were received (around 9:00 AM after several email discussions), I crashed! Y’all, I was mentally exhausted. However, when I woke up, I had this indescribable sense of peace. I heard in my spirit to release everything—my worries, the stress, and anticipated outcomes—to God and to rest in Him. That everything had already been decided on long before I was born.

On Tuesday, two of my meetings were rescheduled (that was God!), so I got to rest and relax most of the day. Yesterday, I could feel the stress creeping up before my first meeting, and I immediately shut it down. I reminded myself that the outcome was already written; all I needed to do was show up (prepared, of course) and God would guide me through the rest.

Y’all, God is my superpower! He’s the source of my strengths. As the image above says, “But GOD!”

Listen, when you find yourself stressed or mentally drained, lean into God. He has the relief you need. Also, don’t worry about outcomes; they were decided on long before you were born. Rest in God knowing that He’s got you!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

End of Year Food For Thought

Just a little end-of-the-year food for thought as you make plans to live your best life in 2026.

The quote above states—

“Your new life is going to cost you your old life.”

Hmmm…

Do you believe this to be true?

If so, are you ready, or even willing, to pay the price?

What sacrifices are you willing to make to live your best life?


This is all I have for you today. At least I think this is all.😊

Wishing you a wonderful rest of the day and a lovely weekend!♥️

Be Blessed,

Shaun

God, I See You

Job 42:5
“My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.”


Oh, to see God!

To actually see Him.

Not physically, but through His creations and works.

I feel so honored to be able to see Him.

Sadly, not everyone can.

I pray that you see God, and that those who cannot see Him will see Him through you and me.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

There Is Still Time To Make New Memories For 2025

Good Morning!☀️

I pray that you had a restful night. I surely did! I woke up early from having a crazy dream; however, my body feels rested.

I wanted to share this Facebook memory before the day started. It’s a reminder that the year isn’t over yet. There’s still time to make new memories—memories we can claim for this year, 2025. If you haven’t thought about it, not only is this the end of the year, but it is also the end of the first quarter of the century. Y’all, soooo much has happened during this quarter! Listen, despite all the craziness going on in the world, let’s end it on a high note!

I encourage you to do something different starting today. Do something that will add to your treasure of memories for this quarter of the century.

I pray you have a wonderful day filled with nothing but goodness and blessings. You deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Words Of Advice…

Saved to my photos on December 17, 2018

Hmmm…

How many things have you said “Maybe” to, when you really wanted to say “No”?

If you’re like me, too many times to count. Just said yes to something a few hours ago that I probably should’ve said no to. And I keep wondering why I’m drained. Ugh! I’m not as bad as I used to be, but I’m far from where I need to be. As I have said a few times before, I need to be more intentional about finding balance.


Listen, if no one else needed this advice, I sure did!

Hope you’re having a beautiful day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
