Did I Proclaim To Be God’s Vessel?

Today I second guessed myself. Something I am not proud of because I know what I heard God say to do. Don’t worry, I’m not going to speak in code. I’m going to tell you exactly what happened.

You know how I said I was going to start sharing an afternoon post, and that post would probably be a Facebook memory? Well, that’s what I did. I shared a Facebook post. The thing is, all while I was writing, I kept hearing to wait. But I wanted to get something out around the same time I had posted the days before, and since that memory was there, that’s what I shared. Y’all, not even 30 minutes later, I kept hearing Donald Lawrence’s song, “I Speak Life.” That’s when I heard to share it. Well, I was hesitant to share it because I had made the post already. What would I look like posting back to back?

Ha! As you can see, I went on and shared what I heard about speaking life into yourself as well as those around you. Then, I searched my photos for an image because I knew I had shared a similar message before. Once it was shared, and on all of my platforms, I felt a little disappointed because I thought I was doing so well with being obedient. A little while later, I received a message from someone telling me they needed what I had shared. I needed that confirmation. I needed to know I was on the right path.

Y’all, God is doing something different in me. I can feel it. When I decided I was going to allow Him to use me as He saw fit, I had no idea what I was saying. I’m not backing out, but… Whew!

As I’ve been saying this week, I’ll keep you posted on how things are going. Let’s just call this “My Journey with God In Real Time.” I might shorten it. Hmmm… Maybe that will be the title of this series of posts. We shall see!

As always, thanks for allowing me to share. Love you!♥️

Speak Life

I keep hearing, “Speak Life.” Not sure who needs this message but please make sure you’re speaking life over YOUR life and over everything and everyone connected to your life.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Also, be mindful of the words others speak in your space.

Adding Donald Lawrence’s song, “I Speak Life.”

Three Of My Top Ten

Good Morning!☀️

Smiling because three of my all time faves—my top ten of people to meet—were in today’s Facebook memories. Gotta love it!

I’ll start with numbers 1 and 2, chefs Leah Chase and Marcus Samuelsson.

I wish I could’ve spent one more day with her, but that one left a mark on me that can’t be erased. God is good. Forever grateful.☺️

During the summer of 2014, I made a Top Ten list of people I just had to meet in this lifetime, my faves. Well, on October 24, 2014, I met numbers one and two. Y’all, I was on cloud nine!!! The crazy part is, I could’ve met Marcus Samuelsson earlier that week. He was a guest at our national dietetics conference and had stayed at the same hotel as me (had no clue!). The morning I left, I remember looking up just in time to see this guy run across the parking lot and hop into a black SUV. All I saw were his socks and I knew. I just knew it was him. A few hours later, I received a text from one of my friends telling me ‘that chef’ I liked was doing a food demo. It was him!!! Had I known he was going to be there, I would’ve stayed for that day of the conference. But it was okay because I got to meet him, along with my other fave, Leah Chase, the end of that week. See my past posts for more details—probably posts around this date. Very interesting story.


Now, my other fave! Y’all already know him—Mr. Tyler Perry! Lol. He was also on that list of people to meet. He rounded off the top five—Chef Rick Bayless was number three and Michelle Obama, number four. Well, my number five, my all time fav, also showed up on my timeline this morning, and it’s so timely, almost like it was made for this moment. Here’s the post.

Always excited to see him win.

What makes this post even more special than it showing up on my timeline today is that one of the shows under that Netflix deal, premieres today!!!! Y’all, “Beauty in Black” is streaming today! Yayyyy!!! It’s his first series produced exclusively for Netflix. Can’t wait to check it out!!

Well, that’s it for now. I pray you have the best day ever.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Shaun’s Afternoon Message, No. 1

Hey y’all! Been trying to figure out what to call my afternoon posts, as if they need a separate title. Smile. As I mentioned last night, I think I’ll start sharing my Facebook memories in the afternoons. We shall see how that goes.☺️

Anyhoo… Here’s a much needed message that I shared on this date last year. When I tell you it is so important to stay under God’s covering and protection. So important. Especially when things are going well. Listen, never move without them.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Listen, keep your discernment on 10! If it doesn’t feel right, it’s not right. Period.
