Good Night (35)

I pray you had a wonderful day. Mine was pretty good. I had to force myself to stop following the updates on the fires. Not because I no longer cared but because it was affecting me a little too much. I felt like I should’ve been there helping but couldn’t. This morning, my eyes were hurting so badly from scrolling through news feeds and crying all night. It’s all so heartbreaking.

Tonight, when I put down my phone, it’s staying down until I get ready to write my “Hello Sunday.” I’m still praying—won’t stop—but leaving everything in God’s hands. Amen

I pray you have a restful night.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 49

It’s time.

Been feeling Trent Shelton’s message more and more lately. I guess you could say that’s what these past 30 years (since the knowledge of my firstborn’s conception) have been—me living in survival mode. Now, it’s time to thrive.♥️ ~Shaun

Sending Prayers Up: Trusting God

Good Morning☀️

As difficult as it may be at the moment, we must trust God and believe He has something greater planned. To lose this belief is to lose all hope.

Honestly, I can’t even see it at the moment—can’t even imagine greater than what has been lost. However, I must believe something better is coming. As we know, God sees and plans for years into the future while we only experience the moment.

Praying for everyone suffering from any devastation, not only the fires. Lord, please console their hearts and give them peace, comfort, and relief. Let them know that they are not forgotten, but loved. Send signs of hope their way to let them know better is on the way. Amen

Never doubt that God is working everything out on your behalf. Trust Him.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Protect Your Peace

Good Morning, again!😊

Y’all, stress kills.

I repeat, stress kills!

My previous post was about making wise choices. Listen, choose to protect your peace. Everyone won’t like your decisions but they’ll be okay. You have a life to live and protect, and you deserve for it to be long, healthy, and prosperous.

Protect your peace.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Inspiration, Part 2

President Jimmy Carter’s funeral was earlier today. I watched most of it live and snippets of what I missed. It was so beautiful. They honored him well.

A few days ago, I left a message in his virtual condolence book. I wrote about how he’d been my inspiration since elementary school and how I plan to continue his legacy of making this world a kinder and better place for everyone. Maybe one day I’ll share what I wrote.

Below is a video of his grandson Jason’s eulogy. It basically summed up how I saw and felt about President Carter. He was the epitome of love, hope, and overall goodness. He will so be missed.🙏🏽♥️🕊️

James Earl Carter, Jr. was God’s child.♥️
