There’s freedom in both giving without expectation and saying “no” without explanation.♥️
Love you,

My Journey With God, No. 48
Good Morning☀️
On this day eight years ago, I was listening to one of my favorite praise and worship songs, “Alabaster Box.”
The songs says—
You weren’t there the night Jesus found me. You did not feel what I felt when He wrapped his loving arms around me. And you don’t know the cost of the oil. Oh, you don’t know the cost of my praise. You don’t know the cost of the oil in my alabaster box.
Only God knows the cost of my oil and praise. Forever grateful. I’m truly blessed.
In 20 days, I’ll have a 30 year old.♥️
I made it!

Relax & Release
As the day comes to an end, relax and release all your worries. Rest in God. He has everything covered, including you.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Whatcha Doing?

Just wanted to drop in and speak.♥️

In Case You Forgot
Remember who you are and Whose you are. You’re God’s child—divinely and wonderfully made.♥️

Don’t Give Up – Keep Going!
Good Morning!☀️
Listen, DO NOT give up! I know it seems like you’ve been working towards your dreams for ages, and the closer you get to them, the farther you have to go. Believe me, I get it. I am right there with you. But guess what we’re not going to do? We are not going to give up or settle for less than God’s best for our lives. Instead, we are going to keep going. Yes, we are going to keep going until we see our dreams come true.
Here are two posts that just gave me the boost I needed this morning. I hope they inspire and motivate you.
Facebook Memory: January 6, 2019
A Facebook post that randomly showed up on my feed this morning.☺️
When I tell you God’s messages are always on time. This is why I allow Him to lead.
My Facebook memory reminded me of how far I’ve come in ten years. Y’all, 2015 was a beast! My entire life fell apart that year, and I nearly lost everything (I still had my babies) however, I made it! I’m still here and much further along than before things fell apart. Yes, life is so much better. Also, randomly seeing Mel Robbins’ post on my feed was all God—ALL God.
Y’all, I am so grateful God loves me enough to keep me motivated and encouraged. That He won’t let me give up on my dreams or settle where I am, even when I want to.🥰
By the way, I’m going to go back and follow Mel. I have been listening to her podcasts for over a year or so now but haven’t followed her on social media.
Well, this is all I have at the moment. Thank you for reading. I really do appreciate you. Sending prayers your way for a wonderful day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
** Saw this in my journal entry (January 6, 2023) and thought I’d share it too:
“What you say to yourself dictates the course of your life.” –Bishop T. D. Jakes
Be mindful of what you speak.♥️
Staying Present
Matthew 6:34 (NIV) –“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Staying present.♥️
Bonus share—
Hello Sunday
Good Morning!☀️
I pray you are doing well.
Saw this quote and thought I’d share it with my natural nurturers—those who can’t help but love on others and put them first.
“This year, your assignment is you. Water you.” – femalempire.co
As the quote says, we are the assignment this year and must water ourselves. Whatever we’ve poured into others in the past, we must now pour into ourselves. This doesn’t mean we’re being selfish or will love others any less. It just means we are making our purposes, dreams, and aspirations a priority so they can finally grow. It’s our time to flourish.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
In God’s Hands
God has everything in His hands, including YOU.♥️

My Journey With God, No. 47
Good Morning!☀️
God is moving. He’s moving in a way I don’t always understand, but He’s moving.
I was reading a journal entry from this date a few years ago and found an excerpt attached from January 3, 2015. This basically sums up what I struggle with at times—both needing encouragement and motivation and people not thinking I do.
It just baffles me how people think I don’t have the same needs as everyone else. Like I’m some kind of superhuman or something. As I mentioned back then, I do and handle things like I do because I have to, not always out of choice. But they were both right, it’s made me who I am today. Not sure if that’s always a good thing though.
Anyhoo…
As I said, God is moving. It’s so ironic that I am seeing this today. Yesterday, I revived something (yeah…learning not to over share) I began in 2022. Seeing the snippet of those two conversations confirms I’m moving in the right direction.
Y’all, I’m so grateful and thankful for God’s love. I am truly blessed.🥰
This is all for now. I’m looking forward to spending time with my bonus mom today. She already has a lot planned (tasks) for us to do.🤦🏽♀️☺️ I pray you have a wonderful day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
