Acknowledging God’s Glory
Sometimes we miss God’s glory because we’re looking for something grand. Be sure to keep your eyes open for the small, even tiniest, of His glory. It’s all around you. Be sure not to miss it!♥️
Love you,

Good Night (32)
As we wind down for the night and prepare for the upcoming holiday week, be sure to surround yourself with love. Love and be loved.
My daughter arrived home this morning. I’m looking forward to loving on her and my son this week and allowing them to love on me. Yes, I’m going to sit back and take it all in. We’ve already had a lot of laughs today. Y’all, they crack me up. I just love them!🥰🥰
I pray you have a restful night and a wonderfully blessed week.
Love you,
Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 40
This morning, I’m singing Hezekiah Walker’s song “Grateful.” The song says—
“I am grateful for the things that You have done. Yes, I’m grateful for the victories we’ve won. I could go on and on and on about Your works because I’m grateful, grateful, so grateful just to praise You Lord. Flowing from my heart are the issues of my heart, it’s gratefulness.”
God is so good. So very good. I’m so grateful to be in His presence. I am so grateful for His love. I am truly blessed.♥️ ~Shaun
Hello Sunday
Good Morning!☀️
Lately, I have been a little more emotional than usual. It took me a minute to figure out why, and I finally have. A rebirth is happening. At least, that’s what it feels like.
Some may think what I’m about to say is weird, and it’s perfectly fine, but the timing of “The Six Triple Eight” movie and my daughter’s upcoming 30th birthday are so intertwined. The 30 years hit me while I was visiting her a week ago. Then, seeing the movie this weekend brought back memories of my experiences in the military around the time of her birth (almost 30 years ago) and the first few years of her life. Y’all, I’ve been crying nonstop this weekend. It feels like I am finally releasing everything I have held in for decades—the stress, uncertainties, and pressure I placed on myself to be a great mother to a child who did not ask to be here. I chose to bring her into this world, which meant I was responsible for making sure she always felt loved, protected, supported, and never like a burden. Those were the things I needed as a child, and I was determined to make sure she had them. And then the song “The Journey” by H.E.R. gets me every time I hear it. Y’all, these past 30 years have definitely been a journey.
Here’s what AI had to say about 30 years—
“It can be a turning point in a person’s life or a time when a historical event’s long-term effects can be seen. … It can be a time when someone realizes who they are, gains self-awareness.”
Whewwww… y’all, this is a lot.
I now realize that 30 years ago, I shut down part of my life to become the best mom I could be, and I know exactly when it happened. That’s a story for another time. Last week, I finally saw the woman my baby girl has become and know that my mission has been achieved. Now it’s time for me to live.
My life definitely changed 30 years ago, and I have absolutely no regrets—I never have. I just adjusted. Seeing my baby girl’s smile today lets me know all my sacrifices were worth it.
Here are two pictures… A lot can change in a year.
What a journey…
Thanks for allowing me space to exhale and release. I pray you have a glorious Sunday!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Be Kind To Yourself
A little bit of kindness goes a long way. Have you been kind to yourself lately?
Remember to be kind and gentle with yourself. Nothing in life ever remains the same. You are growing and evolving like everyone else and deserve just as much grace. So please, be kind to yourself.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Love Is…
Good Morning!☀️
1 Corinthians 13:4–8 (NIV)
4. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8. Love never fails. …
Love always wins.
I keep hearing, “Love always wins when we let love in.” So, I guess that’s also a message. Smile
Well, that’s all for now. I pray you have a wonderful day and blessed week.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Hello Sunday

Always remember who you are and Whose you are.
Never forget YOU are God’s child—hand crafted and uniquely made—royalty. There’s no other like you. Remember who He created you to be and boldly walk in it.
I pray you have a beautiful Sunday. Again, boldly walk in who you are!
Love you!♥️

Smile, You Are Loved
In case no one has told you today, you are loved. Never, ever doubt that you are. God loves you, and I love you, too.♥️
So… Smile,

Self Love Saturday
Sitting here reflecting on the past couple of days. Y’all, God is so very amazing.
Revelations 21:5 (NIV) says, “… I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
I wish you could feel what I am feeling right now. I’ve been hanging out with my daughter the past couple of days, and this is the first time—very first time—since I was around six years old that I haven’t had to worry about anyone else besides myself. Even when I joined the Air Force and left home, my siblings were always at the forefront of my mind. I’ve always been their second mom, so it was natural for me to be concerned about them. Afterwards, my babies became the center of my life, and then my parents.
Y’all, this is the first time ever that I am my only concern. This is the most liberating feeling I have had in my entire adult life. Like I said, I wish you could feel what I am feeling. Honestly, I never knew it was possible to feel this way. I am so, so, soooo very blessed.
I pray you’re having a wonderful weekend. Don’t forget to do something extra special for yourself today.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
