My Journey With God, No. 22
Singing— “Praise is what I do, ’cause I owe it all to You.”
I’m praising God on this beautiful Thursday morning. I’m so grateful to be alive, healthy, and blessed. And guess what?! I’m still here! Yessss, I’m still here! Not only am I still here physically, but I’m still here mentally and spiritually. What a blessing!
Here are a few verses from William Murphy’s song, “Praise Is What I Do.” Source: Musixmatch
Praise is what I do
When I wanna be close to You
I lift my hands in praise
Praise is who I am
I will praise Him while I can
I’ll bless You at all times
I vow to praise You
Through the good and the bad
I’ll praise You
Whether happy or sad
I’ll praise You
In all that I go through
Because praise is what I do
‘Cause I owe it all to You
Praise is what I do
Even when I’m going through
I’ve learned to worship You
No my circumstance
Doesn’t even stand a chance
My praise outweighs the bad
I vow to praise You
Through the good and the bad
I’ll praise You
Whether happy or sad
I’ll praise You
In all that I go through
Because praise is what I do
‘Cause I owe it all to You
God is so good.♥️ ~Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 21
Several years ago, I asked.
Today, God is filling in the details.
Forever grateful for His love and guidance. Y’all, I am forever in awe of Him.
Also, I must give myself some credit. I am really proud of myself for being obedient and following through. For taking leaps into the unknown. For fully trusting God. Honestly, I’m a bit amazed at myself. I did it. I’m doing it!
Yes, I asked. Now, God’s doing the rest.
Beyond Blessed♥️
Shhh…
I had to laugh when this thought came to mind because I do tend to over share. However, I don’t share everything. Laughing
Here’s what I learned while growing up, a lesson that was reinforced while I was in the military. We make our best moves when we’re silent. Silence and strategy matters. Now, this doesn’t mean I got something cooking.😏😄 I’m just saying everything doesn’t need to be shared.
On a serious note, though—which is something I learned from being too open—not every friendly person is your friend, and not everyone interested in what you’re doing has your best interests at heart. So it’s best to keep some things to yourself. Especially, the things that are dear and close to your heart.♥️
Love you,

It’s Greater Than You
The work God is doing through you is much greater than you. It’s not only about you.♥️
Love you,

Praise The Lord
Good Morning☀️
Since 2020, I have begun my day with reading Psalm 113. It all started when my friend Tara sent me a scripture from this chapter, which led me to read the entire chapter. I’ve been reading it every morning since.
Here is what I wrote—
“Before I forget, this morning’s scripture from Tara came from Psalm 113. I was led to read the entire chapter. This chapter matches what I am feeling at the moment. What I was feeling last night. It begins with “Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord…” Whew!”
Praise the Lord, y’all!
I pray you have a lovely day and beautiful week.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Psalm 113 (NIV)
1. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, you his servants; praise the name of the Lord.
2. Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.
3. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.
4. The Lord is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens.
5. Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high,
6. who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?
7. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
8. he seats them with princes, with the princes of his people.
9. He settles the childless [barren] woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord.
Hello Sunday
Good Morning☀️
On November 17, 2022, I wrote the following in my journal—
“This morning while taking a shower, I could see myself standing before leaders at the UN, an image I’ve seen before. I have no idea what I’m briefing them on or who I’m representing, but I’m there. Now it’s time to be intentional about utilizing what I have and God will add more. I don’t need to know how I’ll get there, I just know that I will.”
When I write about my desire to go to the United Nations, it’s not only because it has been a dream of mine since childhood but because I often see myself there. Y’all, I actually see myself there (at least, that’s where I appear to be). It’s a vision I have had for well over 35 years or more. Over the years, there were times—sometimes years at a time—when I stopped believing in the vision because it seemed too unrealistic. However, there have been other times when the vision has seemed so real that I have taken on opportunities hoping they’d help me reach the vision faster. Well, those opportunities never worked. I wasted a lot of time and money; however, all was not lost. I did gain knowledge, experience, and a few skills I didn’t have before.
Today, I’m more mindful about the oppotunities I pursue and accept—been using more discernment and following God’s guidance. As I wrote two years ago, I don’t need to know how I’ll get there, I only need to know that I will. Right now, my job is to focus on the tasks/assignments at hand, and allow God to do the rest.
Are there dreams/visions God has given you that seem unrealistic or unattainable? If so, how are you handling them? Asking because I really want to know. Smile
I guess I’ll end here. I pray you have a wonderfully, relaxing day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Peaceful Moments
Lately, I have been more intentional about creating peaceful moments. Surrendering to God and allowing Him to work freely has been the most effective. Also, setting boundaries has helped.
Y’all, we only have one life—one that’s so precious and short. We must take care of ourselves on all levels. Remember, our emotional, mental, and spiritual health is just as important as our physical health.
Wishing you peace, love, and great health. Take care of yourself.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
You Are Amazing!
Here’s a post I shared in 2021. The message about worth is great, but it’s the hashtags for me!
Walk in your worth.
Live in your worth.
You ARE amazing!
And you are. You are absolutely amazing!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 17
When I tell you this message right here—“HEAL OUT LOUD. Because you nearly died in silence.”—touched me to my core!
No one but me and God knows the real journey—the struggles, the hurts, the disappointments, the heartaches, and the breaks. Whew!! The things I have endured in silence.
My blog, “It’s Shaun’s World”, is me healing out loud. Sometimes I might overshare (getting better at not doing so), but it’s part of my healing. It’s part of my journey to becoming the woman God’s created me to be.♥️
