“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.♥️
Remember to stay in control of the pen. Your life is your story, and you control the narrative. While you may not be able to control everything around you, you do have control over how you react or respond in different situations. This, in turn, lends to the outcome of your story. So, write your story, and make it good. Oh… and start over as many times as you please. Remember, it’s your story. Also, be sure to write the truth because lies will only limit the impact of wonderful experiences.❤️
Love you,
Shaun

Who knows you better than yourself? No one. You are the only one, besides God, who truly knows what you desire from life. So write your story. Feel free to revise as you evolve. Remember, it’s YOUR story.
I shared the message below a couple of years ago. What I have since learned is that “Knowing” isthe secret.♥️ ~Shaun
At this present moment in time, I already have everything I need. Whatever I need for next, God will provide that too. I’m not guessing or hoping He will. I know He will.
Not sure who wrote the message on the image above. I shared it on this day last year, and thought it would be good to share it again.
Message: Ask for what you want. As I have often heard, the answer will either be— “Yes,” “No,” or “Not now.”
What I have learned is all of the answers have a purpose. “Yes” means it will happen. “No” means God has something better planned. We may not understand or accept the “No,” but it’s often for our protection—physically, mentally, emotionally, and/or spiritually. “Not now” usually means God is still working on a few things, and sometimes that thing is us. Smile. Remember, delayed is not denied.
So go ahead and ask. Then, learn to be content with the answer if it’s not what you want to hear. Believe me, it only means God has a bigger and better plan.♥️
If you can imagine it, I wholeheartedly believe you can create it. It may not look exactly like what you’ve imagined, but create it anyway. Silence that voice that says it’s not good enough because God will step in and perfect it. So create!
This image was shared with the caption above. What a difference two years make. Smiling because I know it’s only going to get better with time.
A few years ago, I posed this question—“What do you want?”. Smiling as I think about it. Of course, all kinds of things popped into my head when I thought of the things I wanted. However, what I really, truly wanted weren’t things at all, it was peace. Peace within.
Well, I’m so happy to report that I found the peace I was searching for. Listen, all kinds of craziness can be happening around me and I always find myself at peace. Now, it doesn’t always happen instantaneously. Sometimes I find myself wanting to join the chaos or allow things to linger; however, God has a way of easing the peace in. Y’all, He is so smooth. I just love the way He loves me. Favored & Blessed
Here’s today’s Facebook memory.
Facebook Memory: June 12, 2021
What do you want? Simple question, yet not always easy to answer. Most of the time when we’re asked this question we respond based on our desires at that particular moment or where we are in life. Quick and easy answers will suffice in the moment; however, deep down we know there’s so much more. When was the last time you asked yourself what is it that truly want out of life?
I planned for peace. I sought it out, and God gave it to me.
Of course, I want more than peace. However, what I am beginning to see is the peace I asked for is opening doors and making room for other things I desire. Honestly, I am just letting God do His thing and bless me as He sees fit. He knows best, and His blessings are above anything I could have ever imagined or dreamed.
Last night, my son asked if this is where I pictured myself at 50. And my response was, I never even imagined 50 (from an adolescent/young adult standpoint). I had no idea I would experience life the way I have. Yesterday, I attended an event for women veterans. At even 18, I never imagined I would join the military. Had no clue I would have my first child a few years later. Didn’t know I would live in Germany or Turkey. I mean, soooo much has happened since then. So, making it to age 50 is such a wonderful blessing and feeling. I have a home. I’m healthy. My kids are healthy, and they are thriving adults. And…I am finally living in the peace I asked for.
Side note: I keep stressing the peace part because I used to let things bother me. Like really bother me. I was what people referred to as a “worrier.” Felt like if I wasn’t worried about something then I wasn’t living or I didn’t care. Oh, how life has changed. I am so loving this space I’m in, and loving life over 50.
Well, I think this is it for today unless I decide to add something later. Also, I don’t believe I sent you well wishes today. So I am doing it now. I pray your day is exceptionally beautiful.♥️
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.
It’s Shaun’s World
