Good Morning!☀️
Today’s post is short and sweet. It’s a question I ask myself from time to time.
“Is what you’re waiting for worth the wait?”
That’s it. That’s the question—just a little something to ponder.♥️
Love you,
Shaun

It’s Time!!
NOW is the time to take that leap you’ve been dreaming of taking but have been too afraid to take. Yes, it’s time!
Here are a few hashtags I used when I shared this message on social media—

It’s time! As I said in my previous post, You will win! You were born to do so.♥️
Love you,

You Are A Winner
Good Morning☀️
Guess what?! You were born to win! What may seem like a loss at the moment is a win for the future. God sees and knows things we are not privileged to. So, do not be too discouraged by what appears to be a loss. You will win!
As the song says, “Don’t wait ‘til the battle is over, shout now. You know in the end, you’re gonna win.” — “When The Battle Is Over” by Walter Hawkins (This used to be the song! IYKYK 😁)
And this isn’t about the election, it’s about life in general. YOU will win.
That’s all for now! Wishing you a winning day!🙌🏽♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Service
Good morning, and Happy Veterans Day to all who have served in any branch of the military. Thank you for your service!🫡
Thirty-two years ago, when I enlisted in the Air Force, I was clueless about the path my life would take. It was a journey I was definitely not prepared for, but one I’m glad I took. Until today, although I always hear “Thank you for your service,” I never considered “service” to be service.
Since childhood, I always wanted to be of service to others. However, I thought I would do this through the Peace Corps, volunteering, or later working for the United Nations in some capacity. I never considered the military as service, mostly because it was not what I had imagined as service. Hmmm… I guess taking an oath to sacrifice our comforts and possibly lives for the freedoms of others and our country is an act of service. The ultimate act of service.
Here are a couple of photos from the beginning of my official service career.
Y’all, I still can’t believe I was in the Air Force. Forever an airman—always aiming high.🇺🇸

A thought…
Thinking about my life and my lifelong mission to serve, does anything ever look like what we imagined? Or happen the way we imagined? When I really think about it, I have been serving in some capacity since childhood. As the oldest child, I served my siblings. As a teenager, I served as our church’s historian. In high school, my sister and I started the first recycling club (this was in the late 80s—we were going to save the planet 😊). I have been doing the work, but never considered it service.
What were/are some of your lifelong dreams and aspirations? When you think about it, have you already been doing them in some capacity? Have you already been living out your dreams?
My Journey With God, No. 14
I will always believe in a world capable of unity, love, peace, kindness, compassion, empathy, equity, and joy. To not believe opens the doors to hopelessness and despair.
Keeping hope and optimism alive.♥️
Mid-Afternoon Check In
It’s Self-love Saturday!
How y’all feeling?
Me… Fabulous!
Loving on myself, today!🥰
I got Shaun!😘
Stronger, Wiser, and Blessed
Every experience brings strength, wisdom, and blessings.
Today’s song is “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength,” by the late and great songstress, Whitney Houston. The song says—
“I crashed down, and I tumbled, but I did not crumble. I got through all the pain. I didn’t know my own strength.”
Dedicating this song to everyone who’s been through some really dark times, and to those who may be currently experiencing some. You are so much stronger than you know. God’s got you!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 12
Today, I am feeling so much better. Yesterday, I allowed myself to feel, which I needed to do. I also allowed myself to be comforted my the ultimate comforter in the world, God. Yesterday, I leaned into God and allowed Him to dry my tears and soothe my heart and soul.
Today, I am doing the same. I’m curling up in His arms and allowing His love, peace, and comfort to surround me.
I am loved.
I am protected.
I am covered.
I’m God’s child.♥️
Patience and Capacity
Good Morning!☀️
My affirmation for today is—
I have the patience and capacity to wait for God’s promises. Everything will happen at its appointed time. Trusting God.
I pray you have a blessed day and wonderful Veterans Day weekend!🇺🇸
Love you,
Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 11
God is quick! I’m so very grateful and blessed that He loves me. After I made my previous post, “The Best…Is Yet To Come?”, I heard to read Matthew 13. Here are the first 23 verses, Matthew 13:1-23 NIV—
Matthew 13:1. That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake.
2. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore.
3. Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed.
4. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
5. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.
6. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.
8. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
9. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
10. The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”
11. He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
12. Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
13. This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
14. In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: “‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15. For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’
16. But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
17. For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
18. “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means:
19. When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
20. The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
21. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
22. The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.
23. But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”
As God reminded me yesterday, I have my assignment and purpose. My job is to stay focused on them and He will handle the rest.♥️
Y’all be blessed.🙏🏽
