Move With God

Continuously move with God; always allowing Him to lead.

His flow is constant—NEVER stagnant.

Don’t be fooled. Even in His silence and stillness, He’s still present and moving.

Move with Him.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Be Patient, God Is Working

Good Morning☀️

I believe the message I shared on October 20, 2022 (see Facebook memory below), was written specifically for me for this particular moment in time. All I can do is smile. God knows me oh so well. I can feel my life changing, and it’s changing pretty quickly. However, unlike times before—due to my impatience—I’m pacing myself to make sure I’m moving with God and not ahead of Him. Believe me, I’ve learned my lesson many times over—God moves FIRST! He has to lead.

But I’m still excited!

It’s true, God is working even when we can’t see or feel anything happening. Today, I wouldn’t necessarily say wait unless you’re about to make moves without God. Instead I would say, “Slow down, breathe, and move with God.” At least that’s the advice I’m taking today because I’m not going to stop moving—not this time. Smile

This is all for now. I pray your Monday and the rest of your week is peaceful and flows smoothly. May each day be filled with love, joy, and laughter.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

What A Memory!

Here’s a snapshot of a post I saved on October 19, 2017.

Sadly, Evangelist Joyce L. Rodgers passed away in 2021. Her presence in this world is greatly missed.🕊️

Side note: Y’all see the “Joy” in her name! I can’t make this stuff up! Today is about joy—all about joy. No tears, today. This is the first October since my brother passed on October 19, 2019, that I haven’t cried. Maybe I released it all last year.🙏🏽


On a more joyous note, I’m taking heed of Evangelist Rodgers’ message—

I am about to walk through a new door AND I won’t panic (notice the hashtag #DontPanic😉).

Y’all, God is so good! He keeps me smiling.☺️

Listen, you’d better claim the message for yourself, too! I don’t want to be the only one walking through a new door.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Good Morning☀️

The word of the day is “Joy.”

Not sure why, but that’s the word that I keep hearing. I wanted to add a scripture or quote for context, but I wasn’t feeling anything I found. All I kept hearing was “Joy.” So, “Joy” it is!

However… now I’m hearing the song “Joy” by Blackstreet. Smile

I love how I already had an image created.☺️ (January 30, 2023)

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday. May it be filled with lots of love, laughter, peace, and JOY!♥️

I love you,

The Hashtag Made Me Smile

When I saw the Facebook memory below, the first thing that caught my eye was the hashtag, #RememberingColinPowell. Colin Powell passed away on this date four years ago.


When I joined the Air Force, General Colin Powell was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest-ranking officer in the United States military (over all branches of service). He was someone I admired and wanted to meet. He was number nine on my list of ten people to meet in this lifetime. Next to his name, I wrote—“That much power is amazing!!” All I wanted to do was shake his hand. I wanted him to know how much he inspired me as an airman, and that it was an honor to have served under his leadership. Y’all, seeing his picture everywhere while I was in basic training gave me that extra nudge I needed to make it through. If he could achieve the highest level of service, I could definitely make it through basic training.


Today, I’m remembering General Powell.🕊️

I got this!!♥️

For God’s Glory

May everything I do and touch honor God’s glory. May it shine through me.🙏🏽

I can hear Tasha Cobbs Leonard singing “For Your Glory.”

For Your glory
I will do anything
Just to see You
To behold You as my King

Y’all, God is so good. Soooo worthy of our praises. Amen


Be intentional about magnifying God’s glory. Let His glory shine through you and everything you touch and do.♥️

Love you,

I’m Changing

Good Morning☀️

I have absolutely no idea why I’ve been waking up before 3:00 AM lately—I mean WIDE AWAKE—only to fall asleep around 4:00 AM. My life/world definitely has a mind of its own. I’m just here for the ride.

Anyhoo… When I saw today’s Facebook memory, I immediately heard Jennifer Hudson singing “I Am Changing.”

“I am changing, trying every way I can. I am changing, I’ll be better than I am…”

I am definitely changing. I’m not the same person I was ten years ago or the person I was four years ago when I wrote this. When I think about it, I’m not even the same person I was a week ago. My life since turning 50 has been pretty interesting. I really like this over-50 version of me.☺️


This is all for now. I think I’ll draw a little or read something until I fall asleep. I pray you have a beautiful Self-Love Saturday. May it be filled with joy, laughter, and peace.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Never Make A Move Without God’s Blessings

Same question as two years ago—

“Did you ask God?”

Did you ask Him first?

If so…

What did He say?

Word of advice—and I’m speaking from experience—NEVER move without God’s blessings. He sees and knows things you don’t. Be obedient and trust Him. Allow Him to guide your way. Know that He’s got YOU!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun
