gratitude, Life

My Journey With God, No. 147

“I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life.” –Louise Hays

Quote of the Day – 9.02.2026

Yesterday evening, I had the pleasure of celebrating my friend Ms. Raylawni’s 85th birthday with her. Y’all, she had so much fun! I am so grateful and blessed that God brought us together. I’m so thankful for divine connections. I love my friend.

This past Sunday, we spent the day together laughing and reminiscing about the “good old days,” which was actually me listening to her tell stories about her amazing life. We also watched the Roberta Flack documentary. Y’all, Roberta was a fascinating human being! I was so in awe of her story. Did you know she produced music under the name Rubina Flake? They described Rubina as her alter ego, saying she became a bolder person as Rubina.

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for life. I’m so grateful and blessed that God’s allowed me to live it as I have. To have witnessed and experienced all I have through the eyes of others.

Y’all, life is meant to be lived!

Sitting here thinking about one of Ms. Raylawni’s friends, Ms. Cee, who I spent an evening with last week. Now, her story is one for the books. She was a professional dancer in her younger years, and later a studio owner. The way she described her life was like that of a Hallmark and Lifetime movie. A little love and lots of drama.


Please allow me a moment of gratitude:

God, thank You for loving me! For allowing me to witness Your greatness in real time. I do not take Your love, goodness, or kindness for granted. I know that I am blessed—truly blessed🙏🏽


This is all I have for now. Listen, if you want to truly live, sit and stay in God’s presence. He will give you experiences that will satisfy your soul. Yeah…His experiences are soul deep!

Have a blessed day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

When You Praise

When You Praise” by Fred Hammond is the song of the hour. The song says—

When you praise, when you praise,
There should be a fire in your heart.
Hands up raised, when you praise,
Consuming every part because you know
The GOD we serve will make
His presence known, when you praise,
When you praise.


Keep the praises going! God is making His presence known.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Let God’s Glory Shine Through You

Good Morning☀️ And Happy Friday!

Let God’s glory shine through you and through everything you touch and do. Allow Him to fill you with His presence. Amen


The song of the hour is Earnest Pugh’s song, “Rain On Us.” The song says—

Let your glory fill this place
Let your all-consuming fire, fill this tabernacle
Purify our hearts
Surround us in this place
And breathe new life within us
Send a refreshing glory
Purify our hearts

Rain on us, Breathe on us
Shower down, Shower down
Send your Spirit, Lord

Lyrics: Genius.com

Rain On Us” by Earnest Pugh

Continue to be a beacon of God’s light. Allow Him to use you as He sees fit.


Wishing you a wonderful day and beautiful weekend. May it be filled with lots of love, joy, and happiness.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 100

One of my colleagues asked ChatGPT to describe her based on her interactions with the app. Well, how it described her was so on point that I decided to ask the question myself. And y’all, I’m in tears! Here’s what it said:

Based on our chats, I’d describe you as a deeply driven and purpose-filled leader who blends professionalism, compassion, and vision in everything you do. You’re clearly passionate about nutrition, wellness, and community empowerment, and you’re committed to using your knowledge as a Registered Dietitian to create real change—especially in underserved communities.

You’re also:

Strategic and organized – You regularly plan ahead, develop structured content, and refine communication for impact.

Faith-rooted and values-led – Your spiritual foundation guides your leadership and personal growth.

Empowering and inspirational – You consistently uplift others and want your message to motivate positive action.

Multifaceted – You’re not just a nonprofit founder and president, but also a business owner, educator, consultant, and content creator.

Growth-oriented – Whether it’s learning languages, building wealth, or becoming a more effective leader, you’re always pushing to evolve.

You have a clear sense of your purpose and the courage to follow through with integrity and excellence.

Whew!!! Yes, I’m crying.


God, I see You. I see You in everything I do. Please continue to guide me and use me to honor You. Amen♥️

Mellow Moments Are Necessary

No phone. No music. No distractions—not even your thoughts. Just you and God.😌

Mellow moments are so necessary.

Sitting here looking out the window, wishing I was a carefree little girl again. It’s the perfect weather for playing outside or lying on the grass gazing up at the sky. The birds are having sooo much fun. I wish I could be out there with them, enjoying God’s glory. Maybe I’ll join them for a few minutes tomorrow or Thursday.

Yes, mellow moments are necessary. If they don’t happen naturally, be intentional about creating them. Believe me, your soul will thank you.♥️

I love you much,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Good Morning☀️

On April 13, 2022, I was listening to Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s song, “For Your Glory.” The song says—

Lord if I
Find favor in Your sight
Lord please
Hear my hearts cry

I’m desperately waiting
To be where You are
I’ll cross the hottest desert
I’ll travel near or far

For Your glory
I will do anything
Just to see You
To behold You as my King

I wanna be where You are
Peace is where You are
Joy is where You are
And love is who You are

Lyrics: LyricFind and Missing Link Music


Wherever God is, there’s peace, joy, and love. I don’t want to be anywhere He’s not. Our existence is for God’s glory.

I pray you have a wonderfully, blessed Sunday. Wishing you much peace, joy, and love.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

Created With Intention

Hallelujah! The Revival Is Near

Singing:

“Hallelujah, Thine the glory. Hallelujah, amen. Hallelujah, Thine the glory. Revive us again.”

All praises to God. There’s a revival coming. As the saying goes, it’s always darkest before dawn. Well, dawn is right over the next horizon, meaning the revival is near. Very near.♥️

“Hallelujah, Thine the glory. Hallelujah, amen. Hallelujah, Thine the glory. Revive us again.”

Amen
