“God, move as You choose. It’s not about me, but about You. I am Your child and Your vessel. I know that You have great things in store for me. Please, let me not run away from situations when they become too uncomfortable, or take things into my own hands. You are in control and I trust You. More of You, less of me. Amen”
Here’s today’s Facebook memory from two years ago.
Facebook Memory: May 3, 2022
How often have you become so distracted by the hows and whens that you lose sight of the promise? Even though you can’t clearly see the outcome, keep believing. Eventually, the promise will come to fruition.♥️
This was two years ago and I still have to remind myself to stay focused on the promise. Unlike then, when I was focused on the how and when, I am now faced with my hesitancy to become uncomfortable. On this side of fifty, I have found myself asking if the promise—my goals, dreams and aspirations—is worth giving up this nice, comfortable space I have created. Believe me, it has been a struggle because the how and when are actually happening now.
I am slowly but surely letting this comfortable space go because I want the promise more than my comfort. Y’all, there is no way God has brought me to the door of the promise and I not walk through it. Nope! Not this time.♥️
Never give up on your goals or dreams. They may not happen when or the way you envisioned them to, but they will happen.
This has been my prayer, lately:
Lord, please let me be able to recognize and receive what I dreamed. Please let my ego and stubbornness die so that I can enjoy every blessing You have for me.More of You, less of me.
I know my purpose is too great for me to keep getting in my own way. Yes, sometimes I get in the way of my own blessings, dreams, and goals. Not anymore. It’s time for me to see my goals and dreams fulfilled. There’s so much for me to do!♥️
Just dropping in to say “Hello!” I have scrolled through my Facebook memories several times and I am not really feeling what I shared on this day; so, there won’t be a Facebook memory for my first post. Maybe for my second post. I also read through a few journal entries from today, and still nothing. I have to feel somewhat connected to what I share, and today nothing stands out.
By the way, nothing is wrong. I’m not sad or depressed. Just don’t feel like being on “10” this morning. Today is more like a “5,” pretty mellow. I am allowed a moment like this, right? Laughing
Think I will turn over and go back to sleep for a few more minutes.
Wishing you a beautiful day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Thought I’d create something to go with the mood. (Giggles)
Life is definitely one interesting ride. If you really want to live, buckle up!♥️ ~Shaun

Welcome to this ride called, Life! Life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, highs and lows. Just when you think you have things figured out, you discover you don’t. My advice– Buckle up and go with the flow. TRUST GOD. He’s ALWAYS in control!
Set yourself free! Release past hurts, guilt, disappointments and shame. Harboring even the smallest resentment can make it difficult to receive and enjoy blessings. Release opens doors for receiving love, joy, opportunities, and success. Let go and be free!
It’s true, if you want your life to change for the better, you have to let things go. Holding on to past hurts, grudges, disappointments, and even shame, only hurts you. It also stops you from fully growing and receiving all of God’s wonderful blessings. Listen, I don’t know about you, but I don’t only want some of my blessings. No… l want all of my blessings. Every last single one. Smile. Let it go!
On another note— My daughter came home yesterday for her friends’ wedding and is leaving this afternoon. So, I am going to spend as much time as I can loving on her before she leaves. Smiling
In last year’s blog post I wrote— “You do not have to know where God is taking you; just trust Him to lead.”
Listen, God is the Master of plot twists. For years, you can think your life is headed in one direction only to have it shift in another. I have finally learned to stop trying to guess where He’s taking me—which I now realize was a form of control on my end—and just allow Him to move as He sees fit. All I do now is say, “I see You, God,” and keep on moving. I know He has me in His hands; and wherever He’s taking me is somewhere wonderfully beautiful because He loves me and I trust Him.
My advice. Trust God to lead. Release control and let Him take you wherever He’s taking you—because He’s going to do it anyway. Smile. Resisting only causes unnecessary stress and anxiety. As they say, “Let go and let God.” He knows what’s best and He’s got you! Love you!♥️
Never give up on your dreams. Endure the process.♥️
Trust God!
Yesterday, or the day before, it was, “Trust the process.” Today’s Facebook memory is, “Endure the process.” Listen, whatever that process is, you have to go through it. There’s no way around it.
Don’t you dare give up! Your purpose is too great!!♥️
Around this time last year, I was trying to spend as much time as I could with my mom. We knew, and she knew, she wasn’t going to be around much longer.
I miss her…
Two more months left in this jubilee year! God is good. Thankful for peace and contentment. Thankful for life. I believe I will celebrate this day by doing something my mom would have liked, or eating one of her favorite dishes. Yeah… that’s what I will do. This one is for you, Dorothy Ree. I love you.♥️
Her firstborn. Almost 50 years together. My momma.💗
