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

Worth The Wait

Good Morning!☀️

Today’s post is short and sweet. It’s a question I ask myself from time to time.

“Is what you’re waiting for worth the wait?”

That’s it. That’s the question—just a little something to ponder.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 9

Here’s what I wrote two years ago—

“Today, I encourage you to stay focused on the bigger picture. The goal. The dream. The mission. The purpose.”

Shared on November 5, 2022 with the hashtag “Stay Focused.”

Over the years, I’ve noticed that some of my goals have slightly changed; however, my overall vision, purpose and dreams have remained the same. If you haven’t already guessed, my “bigger picture” is to spread love, hope, and peace to every corner of the earth.

It can be done.

Okay, maybe I’m a little delusional. Smile. However, it’s my lifelong mission to make it happen.♥️

The Truest Test

Good Morning!☀️

As I suggested four years ago, one of the truest test of our faith is our ability to stay focused on God (His guidance is best) when our current situation doesn’t match our dreams or vision. My advice is keep your blinders on at all times… ALL times. Blinders will keep you from becoming distracted by what’s happening around you, as well as prevent unnecessary delays. Listen, I don’t know about you but I’m tired of the delays, especially when they are very much preventable.

From here on, eyes forward and blinders on. God has so many wonderful things planned for you, but you must stay focused.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Trust Yourself To Make It Happen

I often share screenshots of previous posts instead of copying and pasting the captions so you can get the full effect of what was written. Sometimes, the hashtags I used are more meaningful than the text itself. Here’s what I shared two years ago (October 30, 2022).

Side note: Please feel free to let me know if you are not able to view any of my photos or links. I’ll never know unless I’m told.☺️

Trust yourself to make your dreams come true. I truly believe if God gave you the dream, then He gave you the ability to make it happen. First, you must stop trying to figure out how it will happen and start moving with what you have. Move, and God will guide you through the rest.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
