Such a wonderful memory [referring to a post from 2021] that, for me, is more relevant today than ever before. The stage is set, it’s up to us to make it happen. Don’t miss this opportunity!♥️
Let me guess. You are waiting for the perfect moment to get started. Waiting until you have everything you need, or believe you need, before making your bigmove. I know. I know because I have been there, and in certain circumstances I am still there. Yes… I am still a work in progress.
Well, from what I have learned from past experiences, there will never be the perfect time to get started or make your next move(s). You just have to do it. You have to do it without seeing the entire picture. You have to do it without knowing the outcome. You have to do it because if you don’t, your life will never change.
Just take the first step and allow God to guide you through the rest. I promise you, you will not fail. Now, I am not saying everything will be smooth and easy. However, I do know God won’t let you fail. He won’t. Trust Him and move.♥️ ~Shaun
You are already equipped with everything you need. You don’t need anything else.
Just woke up from another disturbing dream. Not going to call it a nightmare this time; however, it was definitely disturbing.
I am a dreamer. Have always been one. Now, I will admit that most of my dreams are kind of weird and be all over the place, but they are rarely concerning. In my lifetime (since childhood), only a few dreams have been disturbing/concerning, and the majority of those dreams have already come to pass. Yes, I dreamt about things before they happened. Now, the dreams that used to come every so often are happening more frequently. When I tell you these dreams have had me praying more. Whew!!
Short story:
A few days ago, I witnessed a dream I had several years ago (2018) come to pass. The crazy part is, a few days before the dream came to pass, I shared it with my daughter. Had come across it while reading past journal entries. We laughed and joked about it thinking, ain’t no way that would ever happen. Well… it happened.
When I tell you that dream had my daughter and I shook! Had me feeling like I was in some crazy movie. Had I not written it down or shared it with her, I swear no one would’ve ever believed me.
I’m going to try to go back to sleep. Praying my dreams are more pleasant, or I don’t dream at all. Praying God covers and protects us against everything that is trying to destroy us. No weapon formed against us will prosper. Amen
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness isfrom Me,” Says the Lord.
The following is the caption I used when I reshared my Wednesday Writings (shared in its entirety below this caption).
Facebook Memory: March 9, 2022
What would your childhood self create if he/she had access to the technology and tools we have today? Me? Everything I’ve created to date and so much more. Ha! I’ve already created an entire world [It’s Shaun’s World]!😉🤷🏽♀️
Wednesday Writings(March 9, 2022)
“Facebook Memory: March 9, 2019
Happy Saturday! Here’s today’s social media find. Do you remember waking up on Saturday mornings looking forward to a day of nonstop play? Well, I do! Of course there was the dreaded routine of cleaning the whole house first, but the reward was endless play. During playtime, I remember being very creative. It was like, if your mind could imagine it, you could find a way to do it, even if the majority of the scenarios were make believe. Those were the days! I believe, as we get older, we become more skeptical and less creative because we’re constantly worried about what others will think or say. (I tell you, we give “others” a lot of control.) Today, I challenge you to let go and be creative. What would your childhood self create if he/she had access to the technology and tools we have today? I create accounts, pages, blogs and whatever else my mind can imagine at the given time. I know it seems like I’m all over the place at times, but it’s the way I have fun. Lol. Anyhoo – be creative!
Now I’m drawing! There’s no telling what I will be doing three years from now. Life is too short and too good not to enjoy everything it has to offer. Have fun!”
Now, it’s two years later (since 2022) and I am still creating as if I am that little girl with a great imagination and unlimited playtime. I still have a few more things in the works. Will provide another update in a couple of years. I never want to get to the point where I stop imagining and “playing.” Been there before. Never going back. I like it here.
I can still do it all. I don’t have to sacrifice anything… I won’t sacrifice anything.
I pray you are still imagining and playing as if you were a kid. Life just seems so much better/bearable when you are able to.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Be sure to have fun. Love you.♥️
You have come too far to give up now. Remain hopeful.
Sometimes when I share, I share my thoughts as I am processing them, or as they are revealed to me. Yesterday, I had one of my “aha” moments about what I truly desired to achieve, not physically but spiritually. It wasn’t until I shared my message about hope on YouTube that I was able to put into words what that actually meant. Here’s what I shared:
“I have decided to build my foundation on hope. Not only hope for myself, but hope for others. It’s my desire to see a more hopeful world. I pray that I inspire others to remain hopeful through everything I do. Whether that’s through my posts, random encounters, or nutrition sessions and cooking demos. I must do my part to keep hope alive. The light is dimming. We cannot afford to let it go out.”
When I tell you this message has hit on EVERYTHING I have been sharing lately! Listen, whatever you do, DO NOT GIVE UP!!! Stay the course. God’s got you!♥️ ~Shaun
Here’s today’s Facebook memory from my Nutrition with LaShaundreaB page:
Y’all, I needed to see this memory today. Earlier, I saw where Tabitha Brown had shared a couple of posts from years ago, years before she became well known. One of her messages was, “Never stop DREAMING!!” She shared it on March 1, 2011, thirteen years ago!
As I said, I needed to see this memory today. Y’all, I haven’t shared any food pictures or made any cooking videos in months. Honestly, I had decided to let that dream go. I felt like it was taking too much time and focus away from things that I should have been focusing on. Same with drawing. Whew. I have so many decisions to make. Do I follow my passions now, or put them off until later? I really wish I was superwoman and could do it all. Life…
Here’s the video that I had made showing me preparing the salad. I had shared it as a Facebook reel, but for some reason the link won’t work on here. And for some crazy reason I didn’t share it on Instagram. Anyhoo…here’s the YouTube short.
March 2, 2023
Yeah… I definitely needed to see this today. God is so good. As Tabitha said all those years ago, we should never stop dreaming. She didn’t and now she’s living in hers.
When I tell you Year50 is doing a number on me! But it is what I asked for, right? If I want the next 50+ to be different, I have to do something different. Which means I have to focus on what I desire the next 50 years to be like, and can’t continue doing what was comfortable the last 50.
Today’s message is, “Do not give up!” It’s a message I have shared on this date for the past few years. No matter what things look like or how badly you might want to quit (I know you’re tired), do not give up! God is working on your behalf. Soon everything will work in your favor.
Facebook Memory: February 25, 2019
Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. Believe me, God IS working. Every setback is preparing you for a bigger blessing. Just don’t give up. No matter what, keep believing, keep going.
You didn’t break. You were being built. Still standing!
Facebook Memory: February 25, 2022
Woke up with the word “steadfast” stuck in my head. It’s all I kept hearing. Now, my Facebook memories are showering me with confirmations. Listen, do not…I repeat…DO NOT give up!! God is working.
1 Corinthians 15:58 (NIV) Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Facebook Memory: February 25, 2023
Listen!! DO NOT give up! What may seem impossible to man is NEVER impossible with God. Keep the faith and continue doing your part. God will take care of the rest. Have a blessed day.♥️
Luke 18:27 (NIV) Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
Remember, with God, all things are possible. He will not let you fail. Trust Him!♥️
