God Is Always Near

I was searching through my photos for something to share with my afternoon post and came across the images below. I screenshot them so the date and times were included. I’m smiling because this is exactly how fast God confirms, affirms, or reassures His presence in my life. Most of the time, it doesn’t even take an hour—seconds, at most.

I’m pretty sure I was very confident in whatever I was doing when I used the avatar. I just knew I had everything covered. Then, not even two hours later, I was probably doubting myself, and that’s when I saw the second message. I just love the way God loves me!🥰

Listen, even when we think we can handle things on our own, or when God appears to be silent, believe me, He’s always near. He’s forever present, and His love for us never fails. We are truly blessed.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Rest Assured…

I don’t know about you, but it feels good to be anchored in God. So reassuring to know I’m covered, favored, and blessed.

Remember, as long as you are anchored in God, you’re covered!♥️

Favor.

Overflow.

Grace.

This is Year52.🥰

Love you much,

Healing Waters

Good Morning☀️

I’m hoping all is well.🌸


Woke up hearing the words “healing waters.” Wasn’t quite sure what it meant so I asked AI. Here’s what AI had to say—

“Healing water generally refers to water, often in natural settings like springs or rivers, believed to possess therapeutic or restorative properties, both physically and spiritually.”

Spiritually it “represents spiritual cleansing, renewal, and the transformative power of faith.”

Healing waters…

I’m getting the feeling that it’s time for me to visit the water again. I haven’t been in a month or so. There’s just something about the water that seems to make time stand still. So calming. So peaceful.

On another note, I must have been exhausted last night because I fell asleep with not one, but two lights on in my bedroom, and I was still lying on top of the covers. Didn’t wake up until after 5:30 AM, which is late for me. And when I did, I heard the words “healing waters.”

Maybe this is my sign to disconnect for a few days.

Hmmm…

Healing waters.


Anyhoo… I pray you have a wonderful day! May it be filled with unconditional love, joy, peace, and happiness. You deserve it!🌺

I love you always,

Shaun

Hope This Makes You Smile

I love you always,

Life Lessons Have A Purpose

The saying is true, “You live and you learn.” Although it may sound a bit harsh, life lessons serve a purpose. They are not meant to break you, but to shape and mold the person you are becoming—that bolder, wiser, more resilient person you are meant to be. Life lessons also prepare you for future blessings. Embrace them. Learn from them. And grow!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Question…

Are you doing what God asked you to do?

Or…

Are you doing everything except what He asked?

OR…

Are you doing what God asked, but worried about others’ opinions, so you’re not following through as you should?

Hmmm…

In other words, are you being completely obedient?

Just asking!♥️

When we move, He moves.

I love you always,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Happy Sunday!☀️

I pray you’ve had a lovely weekend.🌺 I had the pleasure of spending time with my daughter, so mine was quite lovely.🥰


Here’s a friendly reminder from last year—Stay in the fight. Keep fighting for what you believe in. Keep fighting for your dreams. Things may appear to be going any which way but up; however, I promise you—because God’s promised me, as well as shown me through past experiences—that if you just hold on a little while longer, things will work out in your favor.

Stay in the ring.

You will win!

That’s all I have for you this morning. I pray you have a ridiculously blessed day! May it be filled with love, joy, peace and laughter.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Full-Circle Moments: Trust God, His Process, And His Plan

Since turning 50, I have experienced quite a few full-circle moments, many of which I didn’t see coming. Today, I had another one of those moments. The Facebook post I shared three years ago is still true—what you’ve gone through or are currently going through is preparing you for where you’re headed. Hang in there. Trust God, His process, and His plan. Stay open to opportunities that resurface. They are not all negative. I’m finding most are opportunities to do things better or move us towards our goals and dreams.

Remember, as long as God’s in the opportunities—and you’ll know if it’s Him—you won’t fail. He’s got you!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun
