My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Good Morning☀️
You may not be able to control how people feel about you or everything they say. However, you can control what you do and how you would like to be remembered by others. Always remember that your life is your story. As I said in my post three years ago, it’s okay to edit and rewrite a few things as you go along. We all change over time, so don’t be afraid for your life to reflect those changes.
Again, it’s YOUR story. You’re in control. Write it your way.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Remember:
With God, ALL things are possible.
Believe.♥️
Love you,

Good Morning☀️
Eight years ago, I was listening to The Winans and Anita Baker’s “Ain’t No Need To Worry.” The song says (Lyrics: LyricFind)—
Ain’t no need in worrying
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
There’s a fear of night fall,
when darkeness comes and covers all the day.
Sometimes we feel pain,
but there are things that we can change, just pray.
Ain’t no need to worry,
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
Troubles come, but they do past,
heartaches, hurts, oh but, they don’t last always.
Sometimes we feel pain,
but there are things that we can change, just pray.
Ain’t no need to worry,
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
In the morning, the morning,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
It’ll be all over in the morning.
Makes no different how dark the night,
if you trust in God, it’ll be alright;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).
It makes no difference how long the day,
trust in God, He’ll make a way;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).
Weeping will last, but only for awhile,
but when the sun shines, you’ll wear a smile;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).
And I say, thank you Jesus,
in the presence of all those who hear my voice;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).
In the morning, the morning,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
It’ll be all over in the morning.
I needed this reminder that trouble doesn’t always last and that God is with us even when we’re experiencing pain. He’s a good God.
I pray you have a lovely day.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Good Morning.☀️
This memory made me smile. It’s so timely. So many can use a little encouragement at the moment, including myself.
Over the past few days, I have watched my lifelong dream of a kinder, healthier, and safer world crumble before my eyes. First, the president withdrew us from the Paris Climate Agreement, and then the World Health Organization (this one hurt!). Now, there is uncertainty regarding the future of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health. If another outbreak, of any kind, were to occur, no one would know about it. This means we will be unable to prevent avoidable deaths. And then there’s everything else that moved us forward as a nation that’s now setting us back. So, yeah… this has been one tough week.
Soooo….
Seeing the words “Be Encouraged” made me smile and momentarily gave me a sense of hope.
I know God is with us. I know God is in control. I also know that certain things have to happen for better to come. Since the beginning of time, there hasn’t been an era without conflict, a great disaster, or some form of devastation. Well, now it’s our time.
I’m staying in prayer and trusting God. I won’t say too much, but God had already prepared me for this right before my 50th birthday. At the time, I didn’t understand what He was saying, but now I do.
Y’all, I know God’s got us. I don’t doubt that at all. However, I am still human, and my heart hurts.
This is all I have at the moment. I pray you have an amazing day!
Stay encouraged.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
Woke up this morning singing Kirk Franklin’s “Conquerors”. Then, I came across these two messages in my Facebook memories.
I needed both messages this morning. Thank You, God.♥️
Good Morning☀️
A few years ago, I made a video documenting a moment when I dreamed BIG and the dream came true. Here’s what I wrote when I shared the TikTok video on Instagram/Facebook.
Facebook Memory: January 18, 2022
“Manifest it! Wrote it down on 09/29/2014. On 10/24/2014 it happened. Y’all, it really doesn’t take long for God to work. He’s quite amazing!☺️
Never stop dreaming!”
And here’s a Facebook story I shared last year (January 18, 2024)—
As I shared last year, you are already living in your dreams. Please be careful not to miss the beautiful moments in front of you because this isn’t the dream you envisioned. Enjoy every minute of now. Believe me, so many treasures can be found in this present moment. In time, you will see what you envisioned.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
Habakkuk 2:2 (NIV). Then the Lord replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.”
A few years ago, I shared Matthew A. Cherry’s story about his desire to be nominated for an Oscar award. Eight years after he tweeted about it, he was nominated for one and won! Here’s what I shared:
Never stop believing. It will happen!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Peace is—
Trusting God.
Allowing God to lead.
Knowing God always keeps His promises.
Resting in God’s love.
Yes… This is peace.♥️

Good Morning☀️
As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Faith is taking the first step when you don’t see the whole staircase.”
Have faith and take the first step.
Nearly four years ago, I took the first step to fully pursue my dreams. At that time, I couldn’t even see the next step ahead. However, as I moved forward, God revealed more steps.
Y’all… I’m so glad I took that first step. Soooo glad! Although I still can’t see the entire staircase, I can see more steps ahead. Today, I’m not as hesitant to make faith moves and I’ve become more confident with each move. I believe it’s because I’ve learned to trust God’s guidance. When He says wait, I wait—I’m not as impatient as I used to be to make things happen (timing is everything and others’ perceptions don’t matter)—and when He says move, you best believe, I move!
Again, have faith and take the first step. God’s got you!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
“Conquerors” by Kirk Franklin is the song that’s currently playing in my head. Y’all, we are conquerors! God did not create us to live defeated.
The song says—
“We ran the race. We kept the fight. We shed our blood for what was right. We carried our cross through storm and rain. Because of Christ now we can say—We are conquerors, conquerors.”
Listen, hold your head up and keep pushing forward. YOU are a conqueror!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
