This morning I have two Facebook memories to share. Not going to add much more to what was said in the original posts. I will only add this—
Allow God to continue to lead you where you need to be. He knows where He’s taking you. You don’t have to see the entire plan. Just be obedient and surrender your all to Him. He’s got you!
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day! May it be filled with an abundance of love, joy, blessings, and peace.♥️
Too often, we spend countless hours—sometimes years—waiting for a greater experience, when that experience is already happening NOW. Stay present, and experience God’s greatness in real time. Believe me, it’s an experience like no other.♥️
“I just want to praise you forever and ever and ever. For all you’ve done, done for me. Blessings and glory and honor they all belong to you. Thank you Jesus for blessing me!”
That’s exactly what I feel—blessed. My theme for Year51 was “Beyond Blessed,” and this year has lived up to that theme. This is why I need to be mindful of the theme I set for Year52. Smile
Blessings and glory and honor all belong to God. I truly cannot express it enough, I am absolutely blessed—Beyond blessed!
FOUR more DAYS!!🎉
I’m enjoying my time with my baby girl. She always makes me feel so special. I just love being in her presence. You dote on your babies when they’re little ones, but I never imagined feeling the same about an adult child. Of course, it’s not exactly the same. I doubt if she even knows how I feel. She’s worried about making sure I enjoy my birthday weekend when all I want to do is spend time with her. I just love her.🥰
Anyhoo…
I pray that you have a fabulous day and beautiful weekend! May it be filled with lots of love, joy, peace, and laughter. You deserve it!♥️
As I said in 2019, God is always moving, and I’m moving with Him. Sometimes I wish I knew where He was taking me or what was ahead. Wouldn’t life flow smoother if I did? But then, sometimes I say, “God, surprise me!”
Today, I’m at the point where I am sitting back and watching Him work. Wherever He takes me, He takes me. Whatever lies ahead will be. No matter what, I am certain that wherever I land, He will be with me, He’ll never leave me, and everything will work out in my favor because He loves me.
Sitting here reflecting on when my life took a major shift around 10-11 years ago. I was entering my fourth decade of life, and was in the process of getting a divorce. Looking back, I can’t believe I went through and overcame as much as I did. God is so good!
On June 13, 2015, I wrote in my journal that my house was about to be foreclosed on, and I didn’t know where I’d get the money to save it. Well, I never got the money, and it went into foreclosure. That was a difficult year—probably one of my most difficult ones—but I made it.
I started that entry with—
“Thank you Lord for all you’ve done and continue to do. Lord I thank you for grace. I thank you for loving me. So many times I don’t see a way, but you make a way.”
Well, God didn’t make a way in the way I wanted Him to. I lost the house. However, I’ve gained so much more since that loss. The knowledge and experience I’ve gained from multiple setbacks and restarts over the years have only made me stronger.
I ended the entry with a self-discovery that has shaped who I am today. I wrote—
“I’ve tried to be like others, but it didn’t make me happy. Now I’m embracing the true me, the forever evolving me, and I love it, but some don’t. They liked the fake Shaun. Well, I’m me!”
I love how I picked up on and embraced the “forever evolving me.” Because that’s who and what I am. I am forever evolving. Who I am today will not be who I am next week, next year, or ten years from now, and I’m okay with that, because I love being me!
Here’s one of my Facebook memories from three years ago (June 13, 2022).
“Nothing that is truly for you will require you to betray yourself in order to achieve it.”
I believe this quote to be true. You will never have to betray yourself for whatever is meant for you. What’s meant for you will align with your purpose, which can only be fulfilled by being authentically you. So, stay true to who you are. Everything will come at the right time and fall in line. Believe me, God’s got you!
I pray you have a wonderful day and beautiful weekend. May both be filled with love, joy, peace, and laughter.♥️
I slept in again! Maybe my body is trying to tell me something. Hmmm… I guess it’s time to practice what I preach and focus more on self-care. Even though I still feel like I’m in my 20s mentally, the reality is I’m getting older. And if I want to see a healthy 100, I need to start making changes now. Which means, I must figure out how to manage my first post. I love writing when I wake up. I always want my “Good Morning” to be an actual first of the day greeting. Anyhoo… we shall see what I decide to do.
On another note, I woke up singing Kirk Franklin and the Family’s song, “Let Me Touch You.” The song says—
When I’m down Let me touch You When I’m lonely Let me touch You When I’m discouraged Let me touch You Like I never have before Lord, I need You more and more, Jesus Let me touch You and see if You are real
Such a powerful song! I don’t have to touch Jesus to know that He’s real. I know He’s real. However, lately, I’ve been asking God to show me Himself. I see him in the tiniest of things, but I want to see Him in bigger things where I can say, “Baby, THAT WAS GOD!!!!” And I don’t want it to come in the “I was about to get hit by a car and God saved me” or “I was on my deathbed and God brought me back to life” way. In other words, I don’t want to experience a tragedy for me to say, “That was God!”. No, I want to see Him while I enjoy life.
I thought today’s Facebook memory from three years ago (June 6, 2022) went well with the rest of the post, so I decided to share it here instead of posting it later. Y’all, that rose was perfect. I received it at an event I attended several years ago. The theme of the event was “Beauty for Ashes.”
Now, don’t get me wrong. I am extremely grateful for everything I have and for the way God continuously blesses and loves me. But I desire to see more of Him. And I don’t believe there’s anything wrong with me asking that of Him. I am His child, right?
Okay… I believe I have written enough. I don’t want to publish this any later than I already am. I pray you have a beautiful day and weekend. May they be filled with love, joy, peace, and laughter.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
**I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t mention that my fav has another new movie streaming on Netflix! It’s called Tyler Perry’s STRAW, starring Taraji P. Henson, Teyana Taylor, and Sherri Shepherd. I can’t wait to watch it. Check it out!
“Consistent & Sustainable“ were my focus words for 2020.
Today, the word “consistent” has been on my mind, hence the reason for the image above. I had to see if I had shared anything about it lately and happened to find that screenshot in my photos. Now that I see that the word “sustainable” was added, the message is clear.
It’s Shaun’s World
