This Morning’s Praise & Worship Song

Good Morning! Woke up singing Maurette Brown Clark’s song, “Just Want To Praise You.” Y’all, I don’t know about you but I never want to lose my praise. God’s been too good to me not to praise Him daily. The song says—

I just want to praise you
Forever and ever and ever
For all you’ve done, done for me
Blessings and glory and honor
They all belong to you
Thank you Jesus for blessing me!

Listen, I can’t say it enough, I am truly blessed. Even being able to write and connect with you is a blessing. As I have said many times before, I try not to take anything for granted. God really has been good to me.

That’s all I have for now. Wishing you a wonderful day. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

Greatness Has Your Name On It

Good Morning! Here’s today’s Facebook memory.

Facebook Memory: August 5, 2022

You may have to endure a few twists and turns, ups, downs and failures before you experience true success. The key is to continue pressing forward. Believe me, NOTHING can stop God’s plan for your life. You are destined for greatness!

Keep going!

Praying this is one of your best weeks ever. Love you!♥️

Hello Sunday

Hello! Happy Sunday!

“Stay open for change. Be willing to accept the new thing God is doing.” Joel Osteen

That quote was the first post in my Facebook memories under August 4th.

God is doing a new thing. At times it may feel uncomfortable, but it’s necessary. When I woke up, the first thought I had was how did I end up here? Followed by, why me? Of all the people God could have chosen, He chose me to experience everything I have experienced. Why?

Have you ever asked yourself the same questions or similar? Why didn’t he choose someone else?

Then, I opened my memories and that’s the first message—be open for change and willing to accept the new thing God is doing.

Now, my question is, “God, what are you about to do now?”

Well, here’s what I am going to do. I am going to do what I have been doing for a while now and trust God. Trust Him wholeheartedly. Here’s a screenshot of the second post from last year. Smiling because it’s the answer to my questions, all of my questions—all of our questions. It’s not about our will but God’s.

“Draw Me Close To You/Thy Will Be Done” by Marvin L. Winans was the song I was singing.

I want to end with this, whatever it is you’re going through, give it to God, including your heart. I don’t know about you, but it’s easier for me to let go of things my heart isn’t attached to. But it’s something that’s so necessary for us to grow and move forward. We trust God with everything else, why not trust Him with our hearts? Haven’t we figured it out yet that God is Thee Heart Mender. Allow Him to do what only He can do. Then… Stay open and be willing to receive and accept the new thing He is doing. Talking to myself, too. Smile.

Well, that’s all I have right now. I woke up a little after 2:30 AM and decided to write. So, I’m going to go ahead and share, then roll over and go back to sleep. I pray you have an exceptionally blessed day.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Blessed

On July 26, 2022, I wrote the following:

“I pray that I never get to a point where I forget to acknowledge God’s mercy, love and grace. Y’all, every time I think about how wonderful He’s been to me throughout my lifetime, I become emotional. If you only knew!🙌🏽 EVERYTHING I have, I owe to Him. I’m blessed.”

Y’all, I am so very blessed. I never want to lose sight of how truly blessed I am. Everything I have and am is because of God.

Blessed … Beyond Blessed

Over the years, I have changed my graphics numerous times. I believe this particular one is from 2018. Now, I’m on a simplistic, clean kick. Not sure what’s next.

Currently—No image, only the message and my name, making it more personal.

Bold statement with my artwork as the background. It was mostly about the art.

I was on a gold kick for a while. Still love it but it was a bit much.

The gold, again.☺️

And… again. This is me!🥰

That’s all for now. I pray that you have a wonderful weekend.♥️

Smile, God’s Got You

Simple, yet so true and comforting. God’s got you. I don’t know about you, but for me, Him having me in His hands is enough. More than enough.♥️

Decided to check my FB memory on one of my other pages. This made me smile and I hope it makes you smile too.🥰

Feeling…

Humbled

Blessed

Loved

The Adventure Ahead

This particular Facebook memory basically sums up what I began feeling a few days ago—I am on the brink of another adventure. These past several years have been somewhat calm but confusing at times. Well, the confusion is slowly starting to fade and everything is beginning to make sense. I’m not going to lie, I am both excited and anxious. Not sure what lies ahead; however, as I said four years ago, I have God on my side. Everything will be fine.

Facebook Memory: July 22, 2020

I used to tell people how much I LOVED adventures. Then I went on a ride that was way too adventurous for me. Whew!! But God!

This post reminded me that life IS an adventure, and some are way more challenging than others. However, by keeping our focus on GOD, we’re guaranteed to make it through. I’m a witness! I made it!!🙌🏽

Sooo… am I ready for my next adventure? How can I not be? God is on my side.

I’m ready!

That’s all for now. Praying you have a wonderful week. Love you!♥️

Hello Sunday

“Beyond Blessed“ was the theme I chose for Year51. At the time, I had looked back over the previous 50 years and realized how blessed I was and still am. I stated that I was, “Speaking life, love, peace, joy, optimal health, success, prosperity, and blessings over this next year and beyond.” So, today’s Facebook memory goes perfectly with my theme and statement.

Everything I touch is and will be blessed. Everything! Because I am speaking life and blessings over them. Amen

Facebook Memory: July 21, 2023

Everything YOU touch is blessed. Everything… ♥️

It’s still true today!

Please remember this, especially when it doesn’t feel like it. Everything you’re currently touching and everything you will touch in the future is and will be blessed. Everything! Amen

Praying you have a wonderfully, blessed day!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Good Night (16)

I am truly blessed.

Winding down early tonight. I have had a long day. Long, but wonderful day.

Thanking God for tailor-made blessings. Blessings that only I can receive.

Beyond Blessed.

Beyond Grateful.

Praying you have a peaceful night. Love you.♥️

THE Source

While we are so focused on what this or that leader will or will not do, God is trying to get our attention. Y’all, He’s our Source, not them. We must stay focused on Him. Whatever comes or goes, it’s God’s presence, love, peace, and provisions that will sustain us. He is the ultimate provider and miracle worker.♥️ ~ Shaun

Remember, God is love. Complete love. Not selective or conditional love.

Old Habits | New Spaces

I was reading a journal entry from July 2017 where I had written, “Old habits do not belong in new spaces.” I was preparing for something new, and I heard God say I needed to change a few habits before I could move forward. Well, I did just that. I changed what I was doing at the time and God did the rest.

Be careful not to take old habits into new spaces. They don’t belong where God’s taking you. Love you!♥️ ~ Shaun

Move, so He can move.
