My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Every experience, every lesson, every tear, heartbreak, setback, and disappointment were all for a purpose. Everything we’ve gone through will be, or is currently being, used to help us along our journey, or to help someone else along theirs. So, none of it is being wasted. Be Blessed.♥️ ~Shaun
For those who saw the original post, I thought of something better—same message, new title and image.☺️
Y’all, today was the first day in months that I didn’t wake up and go straight to my Facebook memories. Hadn’t even thought about them until now (it’s almost 9 AM). No, today was different. Today, I woke up thinking about my future, not my past. I didn’t even read past journal entries. Hmm… think I can get used to this. Anyhoo… I needed content for my second blog so of course I finally checked my memories. Here’s one from 2022. Smile.♥️ ~Shaun

God is working! You may not see it or feel it, but He is. So hang in there. Don’t give up hope. Your time is coming.
Push through feelings of awkwardness, anxiety, fear, and uncertainty. Push through insecurities, thoughts of inferiority, and feelings of shame. Push through the setbacks, disappointments, feelings of abandonment, and heartaches. Push through the anger, sadness, and loneliness. Push through until you make it to the other side. I can attest that it will not be easy, but it will be so worth it.
Oh… While you are pushing, make sure you are also praying. Prayer and continuous communication with God will sustain you once you get there.
Praying you have a beautifully, blessed day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
“When You Praise,” by Fred Hammond is the current song that’s playing in my head. I love how my spirit has its own little praise and worship service while I’m doing other things. It’s my intercessor, for sure. Y’all, God will always make His presence known. Grateful and blessed.♥️ ~Shaun
“When You Praise” by Fred Hammond
Lyrics: LyricFind
When you praise, when you praise,
There should be a fire in your heart.
Hands up raised, when you praise,
Consuming every part because you know
The GOD we serve will make
His presence known, when you praise,
When you praise.
Belief is more than a thought. It has action behind it. As I asked last year (was really asking myself this question)—Do you believe what you are believing for?
Facebook Memory: June 10, 2023
“Just believe!” We say it all the time in passing. However, most of us never put too much thought into it, we just say it. As we all know, the action of believing is so much more than a thought.
Question–Do you believe what you are believing for?
Just believe! Believe until you know it will happen.
Wishing you a wonderful week!♥️
Love you,
Shaun

Your purpose is unique and connected to something you do effortlessly. It’s authentic, never forced.
Advice–if you desire to live a happy, fulfilled life, follow your purpose.♥️
Your life’s purpose fits perfectly with God’s plan. Never take it lightly.♥️
Be Blessed,
Shaun
A few years ago, I shared the following image with the caption, “What are you writing? Hope it’s something beautiful.”
None of us knows what the future holds. Most of the time we look at it through the lens of our past. If we are not careful, we will continue to write and create the same stories.
This year (Year50), and my mom’s death, forced me to stop and reflect on the limiting patterns and stories I kept repeating and creating. Some I had been doing my entire life. I couldn’t seem to let certain parts of my past go. Not so much physically, but mentally. However, once I decided this side of 50 would be different, I intentionally began to make it different. And I am still doing so. It’s an ongoing process that I am committed to continuing. Not sure where my story will take me, but I do know—not believe—it will be beautiful.
I pray your future is just as beautiful. My advice is to release control and allow God to do the rest.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Side note: I used to be terrified of giving God complete control. Didn’t fully trust Him with my future. (Being transparent.) I believed He would bypass my dreams and aspirations to only fulfill His purpose and plan. Now I realize my dreams and aspirations were always part of His purpose and plan. He’s the one who gave them to me. So I have to trust Him to do the rest.
This is Year50…

Here’s a much needed reminder that God will give you beauty for your ashes.🌹
You have been through a lot. More than anyone knows. More than you’ll ever share. Exhale and rejoice! God is giving you beauty for your ashes.♥️
On a personal note. When I wrote this two years ago, I was trying so hard to believe what I was hearing—“God will give you beauty for your ashes.” Even though I wrote it down and shared it, deep down I didn’t completely believe it. Just being honest. I didn’t believe it because I was too distracted with trying to figure out the how and when instead of leaving things in God’s hands. Again, being honest. Y’all, I am not even sure what changed or when it changed. All I know is one day I went from trying to convince myself to believe it could happen to actually knowing it was happening. I knew without a doubt God was restoring and replacing my ashes with beauty. I will say this, it started on the inside, first.
Loving this space I’m in.♥️
This is Year50…
Shaun
Today’s a beautiful day because you’re in it. Love and be loved.
Love you!♥️
Shaun
Singing—
Praise is what I doooooo ouuuu ou ou… it’s what I do
Never imagined I would be here, at this point in life, where I don’t feel weird or crazy for having multiple praise breaks during a day. Ha! But God did!
Again, singing—
Praise is what I doooooo ouuuu ou ou… it’s what I do
Have a blessed night.♥️
