Put God First and Keep Him First
On October 12, 2022, I began dedicating the first 30-45 minutes of my day to God. As soon as I opened my eyes, I would express my gratitude for life, love, peace and grace. Then, I would recite a few personal prayers I had written down. Lastly, I would listen to or read something inspirational. This had/has been my daily routine for a year. At least, that was my intention.
Well, over time I noticed that the time I spent with God slowly decreased. I found myself making compromises by spreading parts of my morning routine throughout my day. However, I was already doing this—watching inspirational videos and praying throughout the day—so it wasn’t like I was adding more to it. You see how I tried to justify my actions for taking away that first 30-45 minutes? Funny, but definitely not funny. That time I had dedicated to God was and is so important.
It wasn’t until a couple of hour ago that I realized that I had skipped that time all together. I said a few words of gratitude when I woke up, but that was it. I felt terrible when I finally realized what I had done. This didn’t happen all of a sudden. As I mentioned earlier, it happened over time. Every time I decided something was a little more important or I could just do it another time, the less time I actually spent with God.
After realizing what I had done this morning, I immediately stopped what I was doing and acknowledged Him.
Question: Have you ever found yourself too busy to spend quality time with God? Be honest.
Y’all, I just had an “Aha” moment. Quality time… Not just any old time, but quality time. Yesterday, I wrote that quality time was my primary love language, yet I have not been spending quality time with God. What was supposed to be quality had become a true routine, almost task like.
It’s time that I get back on track. I cannot afford to lose this relationship I have built with God. It’s too important. If you have found yourself putting your relationship with God second, third or last, I encourage and challenge you to change that immediately. Your relationship with God is vital!
Love you!♥️

Praying
There’s so much going on right now. So much chaos. Sadly, so many are facing situations where they are surrounded by chaos and distress, and they feel like there is no escape. I’m praying that God gives them a sense of peace. Praying for their protection. And above all, praying that God intervenes soon.
Here’s my Facebook memory from last year. I realize that it may be difficult not to let what’s happening around you affect you; however, do all you can to stay afloat.
Facebook Memory: October 13, 2022
They say it’s not the water around the boat that sinks it, but the water that gets inside. My prayer for you today is that the water – drama, chaos, dysfunction, bad vibes – remains outside your boat.
Praying you have a blessed day and weekend. May God comfort you and surround you with peace, even in the midst of chaos. I know that He’s able.
Love you!♥️

Be Encouraged: God is Working
William Becton’s song, “Be Encouraged,” says:
I know right now it's impossible to see,
But God is gonna work it out if you just believe.
Remember this one thing while you're going through,
If God delivered Daniel, He'll do the same for you.
Be encouraged no matter what's going on,
He'll make it alright,
But you gotta stay strong.

Year50…
Renewed
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31

Keep God First
Keep God first. Not second. Not third. Not as a last resort. First!
Keep Him first in both good and bad times. Most importantly, honor Him just as strongly when you get what you prayed for as you did while you were praying. First!♥️ ~ Shaun

Life is Lifing and I’m Kinda in My Feelings
Many of my colleagues are in Denver right now at our national conference, and me… I’m here at home. That used to be my thing. I loved going to our conferences and meeting and interacting with so many people. Now, I’m at home alone watching the excitement via social media. It’s times like these that make me want throw in the towel and go back to life as it was. When I didn’t have to work so hard. Where everything was predictable and the money was steady. But nooo! In Shaun true fashion, I had to choose the adventure, the challenge! Ugh!! Why am I like this?!!? Now look at me! While everyone is having fun, I’m sitting here in this life I created with this crazy notion that I am destined for so much more. Even got my babies believing it.
I know… this too shall pass.
On another note, when I reached around 830 days of continuous posting, I decided to challenge myself to post two posts daily. Sometimes I post more but two is my goal. Not sure if I will challenge myself to post more when I hit 1000 days. Honestly, I’m excited to see what I’ll do after 1000. I’m pretty sure I’ll come up with something special.
Anyhoo… that’s all I had. Just felt like venting. I really do miss being around my colleagues. I know that the season I am in is only temporary but sometimes it feels like it’s going to last forever. Learning to be patient while God continues to work on me, for me, and through me. I’m so glad He loves me.
Wishing you a blessed night.
Take Care!♥️
