Our “Yes”

Good Morning!☀️

Just saw this quote by Pastor Mike Todd on Instagram— “God saw all of this before you said yes.”

Y’all, this quote hit my soul! I instantly thought about the yeses I’ve given God over the years and how where I am currently—physically, mentally, spiritually, etc.—is where God saw me before I even said “Yes.” He already knew what my “yes” would cost me. He already knew what my “yes” would bring me. He already knows where my “yes” is taking me.

If you didn’t know, your “yes” is just as powerful as, if not more powerful than, taking a leap of faith.

Our leaps of faith are usually dramatic—something others can see or follow. However, our yeses are very subtle and intimate. They are given with our hearts, and only God hears them. Sometimes, we say yes before we have a clear vision of what’s asked. The good part is, whenever we say “Yes” to God, we can rest assured that He will always be with us throughout our journey—He’s got us! And He will never ask us for more than He knows we are capable of achieving. If He asks, He already knows we can do it. (Let that sink in.)

Question—What have you said “yes” to lately?


Well, this is all I have for you at the moment. It’s raining, and I slept in. I’m really thinking about turning over and going back to sleep. Smile. I pray you have a fabulous day!♥️

Love you,

Be Still and Watch God Work

Good Morning!☀️

Be still and watch God work.

Shared on this day last year with the caption— “Be still and let God be God.”


Praying you had a wonderful Christmas, and that the rest of your holiday season be filled with love, laughter, peace, blessings, and joy.♥️

Prep Time is Up

Trust God. He’s got you!🙏🏽

“I guess my prep time is up,” is what I wrote in my notes on December 24, 2020. I’m smiling because this message will forever be relevant, whether it’s next year or five to ten years from now. When you think about it, we are always preparing for something because God is always moving. He’s not a stagnant God. So, today, this message is for whatever God believes we are prepared to receive.


Smile, your preparation time is up. You’re ready!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Absolute Peace

Good Morning!☀️

1 Kings 5:4 – But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side, and there is no adversary or disaster.

Only God can give absolute peace. Not only does He have the power to calm our hearts and minds, but he also has the power to calm everything around us. Rest in Him, knowing that He has everything under control.

Everything…♥️

Love you,

Shaun

God’s child. Covered.

Believe In The Promise

Here’s what I shared six years ago. Don’t pay too much attention to the caption because I have absolutely no idea why I wrote, “All the time.” Smile. However, the messages are in the hashtags and Pastor Joel Osteen’s post.

Believe in the promise, and allow God to do the rest. The promise is coming.♥️

Love you,

Woke Up Like This

Originally shared on March 15, 2021

I decided to go check out what I was doing the day I shared the quote above (March 15, 2021), and now I’m bawling. I began my journal entry with this—

“Today’s Monday. I turned in my letter of resignation on Friday.”

Y’all, I had just taken one of the biggest leaps of my life, and that was to bet on me!!!

I am so proud of myself for taking that leap. I had no idea what life would be like afterwards. I just heard God say it was time, and I moved. Whew!!

I didn’t expect to find all this when I searched my photos for the image above. I just kept hearing, “I woke up like this.” Who knew one image could hold so much meaning. That entire journal entry has me in tears. I did that!! Now, here I am, almost four years later, still doing what I love. Y’all, that was one of the best decisions I ever made, and I did it unafraid. I had absolutely no clue what was to come, and I was completely at peace when I did it, not one ounce of fear or anxiety. That’s how I knew God was in it.

When I tell you God is sooooooo amazing!! So amazing!

Yes, I woke up like this…BLESSED!


Thank you for reading. I pray you woke up feeling the same—Blessed.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Loves

Good Morning!☀️

Today, I am dedicating my first post to my two loves, my hearts—my daughter and son. Never in a million years did I think two wonderful beings could come from me. By no means are they perfect, but they’re perfect for me. Watching them grow from infancy to adulthood has been the honor of my life. I love the people they’ve become. And a bonus is they love me. They actually love me. Y’all, their love is a gift I will always treasure. I am blessed, so very blessed.♥️

Shaun

They’re mine.♥️♥️

Be Obedient

Good Morning!☀️

A few months ago, I was given a specific date to take another leap into the unknown. As time crept closer to me taking that leap, I kept playing around with the date until one day when I heard loud and clear, “That’s the date.” I was like, “Okay, I hear You, God,” and did what was asked. I was told that delaying what was asked of me would delay what He was trying to do for me. I took the leap even though I didn’t know and still don’t know how things will work out. I’m not sure what He has in store, but the atmosphere did change as soon as I leaped. Honestly, it changed when I decided to be obedient, which was before I actually leaped.

Be obedient and take the leap! As Pastor Joel Osteen said nine years ago, God will not ask you to give up something without giving you something better in return.♥️

Love you,

Shaun


I’m laughing at myself because I could’ve cropped this more. I just like seeing the “9 years ago.”☺️
