Keep Going!

Good Morning! Couldn’t decide which Facebook memory to share, so I decided to share both. The message—

Persevere and create the life you desire and deserve. Don’t stop going or creating until you’ve achieved both. Then… KEEP GOING!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

A Shift In The Atmosphere

Covered!

For several days now, B. Slade’s (formerly known as Tonex) song, “Make Me Over,” has been playing in my head off and on. But today, it’s been on repeat. I fell asleep hearing it and woke up hearing it. Even believe I was hearing it while asleep. Which means it must need to be shared. Here are the lyrics.

Make Me Overby B. Slade
Lyrics: Musixmatch

You know my other side
I can no longer hide
Let you down so many times
Sin freshly crucifies

Thought that I had a plan
I had it all figured out
But the more that you tried to be by my side
The more I pushed you out

Lord make me over
Lord make me over
Lord make me over

Make me over again (Is that anybody’s prayer out there tonight)
Make me over again (Somebody out there sing it come on)
Make me over again
Make me over again

Time after the time I failed you
Pierced your side when they already nailed you
Jesus heal my open wounds
I just want to be more like you

Father I let you down
What’s not like you just take it out
Reconcile me Jesus, I just want to please you
Wash me and make me whole

Lord make me over
Lord make me over
Lord make me over

Make me over again
Make me over again
Make me over again
Make me over again


Y’all, there’s another shift happening in the atmosphere. I can feel it, and I’m here for it! God is making everything new again. Whatever was meant for evil or to destroy will not prevail. Keep your eyes, hearts, and minds open. Great things are headed your way!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Expect The Unexpected

When you wake up to a text from your daughter saying, “BTW, I meant to tell you I’m going [out of the country] today. Headed to the airport now. Here’s my flight information. I’ll be gone for a few days.”

What do you do?

I mean what else can you do but say, “Safe travels”, “Have fun!”, and “I love you!”

She is almost 30.

Of course, my mind went into military mode, and I sent her the government’s travel info about the country she’s traveling to and the Embassy’s information.

Then, I said a prayer to cover her.🙏🏽

She is grown and free to explore. I just wish she would’ve chosen somewhere I was somewhat familiar with. She dances to the beat of her own drums, and I love that about her. Also, she gets it honestly, so I can’t be mad at her. It’s not like I told my mom everything beforehand. However, unlike her, the military made me a little more wiser and a bit more cautious.

As I alluded to in my earlier post, I’m letting go of things I cannot control. She’s God’s child. He’s got her.

But y’all, I wasn’t ready for that. I wasn’t going to talk her out of going, but I would’ve asked a lot of questions.🤷🏽‍♀️

I can see my life as a mom with adult children is about to take me to a whole new level of motherhood. I can already see my son is ready to test being 21. He hasn’t done anything but I can feel it. This is definitely going to be interesting!

Now, I’m smiling because we’re all grown!! Wow!! I know I started off sounding a bit weary. However, the more I write the more I feel another level of freedom coming on. Again, we’re all grown!

Okay… I’m going to end here.

I guess you can say this is my first “random rambling” on this side of 50!

Y’all, why am I so excited?!!!

Okay… Bye!✌🏽

According To God’s Plans

Good Morning! Have you ever been frustrated, disappointed, down, or even hurt because things in life just haven’t gone as planned? Well, according to your plans.

If so…

Let It Go!

Release every expectation you had for your plan because God has something better in store.

Here’s a quote from the late Bruce Van Horn along with the post I shared six years ago.

I shared this a couple of weeks after I had basically given up on my plans of finding a new home. After losing my house (due to divorce), I had promised my kids that the place we had moved into was only temporary. Well, eventually our “temporary” home began to look more like a long term stay.

After three years of searching for a place and things not working out, one day everything just fell into place. I found a house, secured the lease, and moved in the day before my son’s birthday.

You see, the year before, I had promised my son we’d be in a new place before his next birthday (no lie). So, I was really trying to make good on my promise. Well, by the time September of the following year rolled around, I still hadn’t found a place. Talk about being frustrated and disappointed. Then, one day I just let it go. I was tired. And that’s when it all happened. What I hadn’t been able to do in three years, God did in less than three weeks. To this day, it still amazes me how things happened. As I mentioned, we moved in the day before my son’s birthday.

Y’all, that’s only one of many examples of things happening according to God’s plan. As Bruce Van Horn put in his message from God, trust God’s love for you. Never doubt that He’s got you, completely!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Praise

Good Morning! Woke up this morning with this scripture playing over and over in my head.

Psalm 34:1—I will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Continually…

Never ceasing…

Always…

God’s praise shall continually be in my mouth. Amen


I pray you have a wonderful day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
