God, Show Me You
Good Morning!☀️
How are you?
I pray that you’re well.🌸
I slept in again! Maybe my body is trying to tell me something. Hmmm… I guess it’s time to practice what I preach and focus more on self-care. Even though I still feel like I’m in my 20s mentally, the reality is I’m getting older. And if I want to see a healthy 100, I need to start making changes now. Which means, I must figure out how to manage my first post. I love writing when I wake up. I always want my “Good Morning” to be an actual first of the day greeting. Anyhoo… we shall see what I decide to do.
On another note, I woke up singing Kirk Franklin and the Family’s song, “Let Me Touch You.” The song says—
When I’m down
Let me touch You
When I’m lonely
Let me touch You
When I’m discouraged
Let me touch You
Like I never have before
Lord, I need You more and more, Jesus
Let me touch You and see if You are real
Such a powerful song! I don’t have to touch Jesus to know that He’s real. I know He’s real. However, lately, I’ve been asking God to show me Himself. I see him in the tiniest of things, but I want to see Him in bigger things where I can say, “Baby, THAT WAS GOD!!!!” And I don’t want it to come in the “I was about to get hit by a car and God saved me” or “I was on my deathbed and God brought me back to life” way. In other words, I don’t want to experience a tragedy for me to say, “That was God!”. No, I want to see Him while I enjoy life.
I thought today’s Facebook memory from three years ago (June 6, 2022) went well with the rest of the post, so I decided to share it here instead of posting it later. Y’all, that rose was perfect. I received it at an event I attended several years ago. The theme of the event was “Beauty for Ashes.”
Now, don’t get me wrong. I am extremely grateful for everything I have and for the way God continuously blesses and loves me. But I desire to see more of Him. And I don’t believe there’s anything wrong with me asking that of Him. I am His child, right?
Okay… I believe I have written enough. I don’t want to publish this any later than I already am. I pray you have a beautiful day and weekend. May they be filled with love, joy, peace, and laughter.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
**I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t mention that my fav has another new movie streaming on Netflix! It’s called Tyler Perry’s STRAW, starring Taraji P. Henson, Teyana Taylor, and Sherri Shepherd. I can’t wait to watch it. Check it out!
Keep Smiling, Life Is so Worth Living
No matter what the day brings, life is so worth living.
Keep smiling!♥️
I love you,

My Strength vs God’s Strength
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I hope and pray you’re doing well.🌸
Philippians 4:12–13
12. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
13. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
The song I’m hearing as I write is Whitney Houston’s “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.” The song says—
I thought I’d never make it through
I had no hope to hold on to, I
I thought I would break
I didn’t know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn’t know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn’t know my own strength
I thought I’d never find my way
I thought I’d never lift that weight
I thought I would break
I didn’t know my own strength…
Lyrics: LyricFind
You know how sometimes you need a release and don’t know you need one. Well, I guess that time is now because the tears are flowing. I have no idea where they’re coming from. At this moment, I’m exhaling and leaning on God’s strength. I’ve been leaning on my strength for much too long and I’m tired. It’s funny because I hadn’t realized that I was doing it. I thought I was relying on God’s strength, but for a while it’s been mine. Today, I’m letting go. I’m releasing everything into God’s hands. Amen
Whose strength are you relying on? Yours or God’s?
I pray it’s God’s. Rest in Him and let Him be your strength.
I pray you have an exceptionally blessed day. May God grant you peace, love, and joy.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
Grace
The quote is true. Grace will take you places hustling can’t. I’m so grateful to be covered by God’s grace. So grateful for the doors God’s grace has opened and is opening.
May God’s grace continue to cover us.
Amen🙏🏽♥️

Sitting In God’s Presence
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I hope and pray you’re well.🌸
This morning, I spent some extra time sitting in God’s presence before writing. Most days, as soon as I open my eyes, I thank God for waking me up, say my daily prayers, and then begin writing. Afterwards, is when I usually spend more time with Him, and of course, I continue throughout the day. Today, God led me to move differently. After saying my prayers, I reflected on the many things God’s done and is doing in my life. I needed the extra time with Him. He’s moving, and I need to stay present so that I can move with Him.
This is all I have for now. I pray that you have a fabulous day. May it be filled with love, joy, and peace.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
June 2, 2019
Since I began the day with a memory from June 2nd, I thought I’d end with one.
Here is what I shared on June 2, 2019.
You will probably see the second picture every year because meeting Marcus Samuelsson and Leah Chase was like God’s hand touching my heart and soul. I had never experienced anything like it before. I simply said I wanted to meet them, and maybe a month or less later, I was with them. After thinking about what I shared in my first post of the day, “June 2, 2014,” I believe that trip set everything into motion. (See my previous post, “June 2, 2014.”)
Anyhoo…
I wish I could have sat down with Chef Leah Chase just one more time, but it never happened. Today, I spent the day with my 83-year-old retired Air Force friend (she’ll be 84 in September). I just love being in her presence. Listening to her reminisce about her earlier years and recent adventures (she loves to travel) makes me smile.
My heart is full.🥰
I hope you had a lovely day, and pray you have a restful night.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Stay Present & Alert
Stay present and alert. Blessings are headed your way!♥️
