Supersized Dreams

Just like I keep all kinds of memorabilia, I also screenshot inspirational quotes and captions to refer to when I need a little encouragement. In continuing with the theme, “Dream BIG,” here’s a message I saved from Joel Osteen. As you can see, it’s from 2016.

Smile…

“You cannot out-dream God. God thinks big.”

Isn’t it wonderful to know God has so much more in store for us than we’ve ever imagined?! Y’all, God is so good.

We are blessed.

We are beyond blessed!♥️

Chosen Vessel, Part 2

Y’all, I am still singing Marvin Sapp’s “Chosen Vessel.” Maybe this is the song of the month or the year. I’m not sure.


Hmmm…

I’m chosen.

You’re chosen.

We’re chosen for this season in time—definitely something we should not take lightly.

The message I’m getting is…

We have work to do!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Blessings Flow When We Pour

Good Morning!☀️

Our gifts were never meant for us to keep to ourselves. They were always meant to be shared with others.

Blessings flow our way and to others when we pour into others. Keep pouring.♥️

Love you,

My Journey With God, No. 50

Me at my “man’s” (he was 21—barely a man😂) dorm room. We had no idea what we were doing. Lol. Life…

Thought I’d be asleep by now but I am wide awake. The Facebook memory above has me smiling because in 10 days I will have a 30 year old!🎉

When I took that picture, I had no idea my life would be totally different two years later. You couldn’t have told me I would be pregnant, single, and broken, and I’d believe it. There was no way!

I’m smiling because I remember that young girl who was pretending to be a grown woman. She had so much to learn about people and life, but she thought she knew it all. Couldn’t convince her otherwise.

I smile at her innocence.

I smile at her perception of life and people. She believed in everything good.

I smile because she was once me.

I was once her.

I’m still her.

Just older, wiser…and a little lot heavier.☺️

What a journey this life has been. I am forever grateful for the experiences, good and bad, because both made me who I am today. I’m not going to lie, I do miss her.🥰

Good Night (36)

I’m still singing Marvin Sapp’s “Chosen Vessel.” I recently watched a video of Priscilla Shirer explaining how God intentionally chose every part of our lineage, placing us where we are today. It isn’t by chance that we are here at this moment in time. We were purposefully chosen to be here.

Let that sink in…

We were chosen to experience this AI era. We were chosen to go through the next phase of world challenges and changes. We were chosen.

Yes, let that sink in…

So, if God chose us for this specific time and we were not created to fail, we are strong enough to get through anything—but not without God. No, God has to be at the forefront of everything we do and at all times.

We can do this!

Yes, we can do this because We Are Chosen. Smile


I pray you have a restful night.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Chosen Vessel

Covered.

Marvin Sapp’s song “Chosen Vessel” says—

I’ve made mistakes I thought
I’d never recover from
Some said I fell from grace
I just knew I was done
I felt discarded, abandoned and thrown away
But then God’s love stepped in
Restored me to my place
He said

You are my chosen vessel
You are anointed for this season in time
What people rejected
I have accepted
I am with you, you are mine
You are mine


You are God’s chosen vessel. You were specifically chosen for this season in time. How wonderful is that! Listen, allow God to use and work through you. Believe me, He won’t let you fail.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Find Wonders In Every Moment

I shared the image above on this day six years ago. It’s true. Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful. Be sure to pause and discover wonders in every moment.♥️

It Will Happen: Never Stop Believing

Good Morning!☀️

Wrote the following on January 16, 2023 — “Never stop believing. In spite of the struggles, heartaches and setbacks, never stop believing that the dream God placed in your heart will happen. It may take days, months, years or even decades, but IT WILL HAPPEN. Just keep believing and leave the timing to God.”

Habakkuk 2:2 (NIV). Then the Lord replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.”

A few years ago, I shared Matthew A. Cherry’s story about his desire to be nominated for an Oscar award. Eight years after he tweeted about it, he was nominated for one and won! Here’s what I shared:

Never stop believing. It will happen!♥️

Love you,

Greatness

Since 2022, I have shared this same message and am sharing it again today. You are destined for greatness! God wouldn’t have it any other way. He created you to be great. As I recently did, take the limits off God and yourself, and allow Him to work freely. Allow Him to manifest the greatness He’s placed inside of you.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You are God’s child!
