The day is finally here! KiSondrea is 30! My heart is full. There’s so much I could say. So much I want to say. So much I’ve already said to her (which is what matters most) and in past posts. She’s my heart. I love her to other galaxies and beyond. I am so grateful God chose me to be her mom.♥️

Good Night (38)
Around this time last night, I was at my daughter’s place watching “Bringing Down The House” and laughing like crazy. Now, I’m back home, showered, and in bed, and it’s barely 8:30 PM. Although our visit wasn’t even a good 18 hours, I believe it was one of our best times together. Seeing her smiles and hearing her laughter was worth the short trip.
Can’t wait to celebrate her 30th tomorrow!
I hope you had a great weekend. Wishing you a peaceful night and wonderful week ahead.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 54
Hearing God’s voice…
I originally wrote something different for my first post today than what I shared. After I had written what I wrote, I heard that still small, almost faint voice say, “Delete it.” And I obeyed. When I clicked on YouTube to watch something inspirational, this video was there—a message from the late Dr. Charles Stanely. The title says it all, “Listening To God.” Here’s the video and link:
I’m so grateful God loves me. I’m so grateful for the relationship I have with Him. I am truly blessed.🥰

Leave Your Worries With God
Good Morning☀️
Eight years ago, I was listening to The Winans and Anita Baker’s “Ain’t No Need To Worry.” The song says (Lyrics: LyricFind)—
Ain’t no need in worrying
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
There’s a fear of night fall,
when darkeness comes and covers all the day.
Sometimes we feel pain,
but there are things that we can change, just pray.
Ain’t no need to worry,
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
Troubles come, but they do past,
heartaches, hurts, oh but, they don’t last always.
Sometimes we feel pain,
but there are things that we can change, just pray.
Ain’t no need to worry,
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
In the morning, the morning,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
It’ll be all over in the morning.
Makes no different how dark the night,
if you trust in God, it’ll be alright;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).
It makes no difference how long the day,
trust in God, He’ll make a way;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).
Weeping will last, but only for awhile,
but when the sun shines, you’ll wear a smile;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).
And I say, thank you Jesus,
in the presence of all those who hear my voice;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).
In the morning, the morning,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
It’ll be all over in the morning.
I needed this reminder that trouble doesn’t always last and that God is with us even when we’re experiencing pain. He’s a good God.
I pray you have a lovely day.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Quietness Is Necessary
I believe we could all use a bit of quietness right now. There’s a lot of noise going on. I’m going to unplug for a minute…just a minute. I thought about scheduling my posts for a few days, but that ain’t gonna happen. I can barely schedule them hours in advance because sometimes I change my mind about what I want to share. So…yeah…only a minute. If it’s in the Lord’s will, I’ll talk to y’all tomorrow.
Love you!♥️
Shaun
P.S. Keep the prayers going.🙏🏽♥️
My Milestone, Too
Listen, the tears are flowing! I was just texting with my daughter about her plans for her birthday and she mentioned that it was a milestone for me as well. Y’all, the fact that she recognizes her 30th birthday as a milestone for me means a lot. It makes my heart smile. She doesn’t have to keep reminding me to celebrate myself as well, but she does.
I remember when I first felt her move. At that moment, I was committed to becoming the best mom that baby could possibly have. Now, don’t think I was a laid-back, “do whatever you want to do” kind of mom. No, I was, and always have been, a real momma. She had rules to follow, and I never allowed any disrespect. However, I allowed her to be who God created her to be. I gave her room to express herself (believe me, she has never been one not to express her opinions), and I tried my best to make sure she could do whatever she aspired to do. Of course, we didn’t always agree on everything and still don’t (smile), but that doesn’t make me love her any less. I actually believe I love her even more because she’s who she is and has never tried to be like anyone else. I love watching her move through life. It’s so beautiful to watch. Y’all, I can’t believe I am so blessed.🥰
Yes, I am truly blessed.☺️

I’m Old, Old
Soooo… many, many moons ago, I used to be somewhat of a gamer. I only liked the cutesy games—Pac Man, Frogger, everything Mario/Mario Bros., Sonic, etc. In the early 90s it was NBA Jam and Mortal Kombat, and then back to Mario when my daughter was born. In my 30s, it was Gameboy and DS games. Then, somewhere along the way, I became addicted to the Facebook games—Farmville and Cafe World. I used to play those at work. Y’all, it was serious! I’m not sure when I stopped playing video games. I used to play Words with Friends with my mom until she began having problems with her eyesight. Now, I only play Candy Crush and Mahjong every now and then.
Anyhoo, the reason for my post.
Someone posted on X—
“OG gamers ONLY. What’s the first game you remember playing?”
Y’all, how about I commented, “Space Invaders,” and everyone else in the comments had named Nintendo64 games. Lol
Then, I told my daughter and she said she had never heard of Space Invaders. Hilarious!
Y’all, I’m old.
Like, old, old.😂😂😂
Gotta love life…
Did you ever play video games, and if so, what was your favorite?
I believe my favorite was this Nintendo DS Sims Castaway game. I played it several times and could only achieve a 99% completion rate. There was this one rare fish I could never catch.
Anyway, that made me smile, so I had to share.☺️
I pray you’re having a peaceful evening. If I don’t write more tonight, rest well and “Good Night.”♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Drown Out The Noise
The song of the hour is Smokie Norful’s “I Need A Word.” The song says (Lyrics: Musixmatch)—
Life seems so loud
I’ve been too proud
So, Lord, what do I do?
I just need a word from You
Oh, I need a word
Tell me which way to turn
I need a word
Tell me which way I should go
I need a word
To tell me just what to do
Please, send a word
God, I need to hear from You
Drown out the noise
Let me hear Your voice
I need a word from You
Drown out the noise so you can hear God’s voice—which is what I’m finally doing because there’s absolutely nothing I can do at the moment.
Yes, drown out the noise. God is speaking.
Guess what He’s saying?
Trust Me.
I got you.
Smile.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Reminder
Stay present and let God handle everything else.♥️
Love you,
