The two messages below were not shared together before; however, it seems so fitting to share them together today. They actually compliment each other. The first one completes the second’s message.

Remain hopeful. Good things are headed your way.♥️
Shared on December 11, 2015 without a caption. None was needed.
The message: Remain hopeful. God will never ask you to give up something without having a better plan and/or replacement in place. Be patient. Everything will happen at the right time—God’s time. Until then, continue being obedient and following God’s lead. Before you know it, everything will be replaced with more than you could have ever imagined. Hang in there!
No matter what—Keep showing up! Even if you have to take multiple breaks to reflect, recharge and refocus, keep showing up. Also, remember to place your faith in God, not people. People may not understand your situation, but God does. He sees all and knows all. As I said in my previous blog, the only approval you need is God’s.♥️ ~Shaun
I cannot say it enough, I love my Facebook memories. I love how God sends just what I need when I need it. He continuously feeds my soul. Here is another Facebook memory from another one of my accounts (I have quite a few).

After reading Will Smith’s memoir, I truly believe anything’s possible. Much too often we allow others to define what our success should look like. But success is personal and should only be defined by us. In chapter 20, Will’s therapist asks him a few questions –
“Who are you?” “What do you truly want?” “What are your deepest values and authentic goals?”
Deep, right?!
Listen, align your sacrifices and discipline with what you TRULY want and it will happen.✨
Sacrifice and Discipline
I noticed that I used the term, “align.” Been seeing “alignment” everywhere lately. Whatever I do from here on out has to be aligned with my purpose, aspirations, and dreams.
I hear You, God. I hear You.
I know I cannot be the only one who needs these messages. Listen, as He speaks to me and advises me to share, I will continue to do so.
The saying goes, “When praises go up, blessings come down.” Yessss!
I know you felt that because I sure did. Listen, I’m sending up praises as I write, not only for myself, but for everyone connected to me, including YOU. Yes, praises are going up for you!♥️
I got you covered.
Keep those praises going! You never know who you are blessing.
Here are two more Facebook memories I wanted to share before this day ended. They are my annual reminders that where I am today is not where I am meant to stay. As long as I am breathing, there will always be more to my story.

Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. I’m in tears, y’all. This was three years ago during one of my lowest moments, and a few days before my car accident. Whew! It was posts like this that kept me going. When I couldn’t see my way, I would always find words of encouragement through social media. I’m so grateful I made it through those tough times. I’m here. I’m still standing. What was meant to break me, didn’t work.💃🏽

Blessed. Humbled. Grateful.
I entered 2020 without any expectations. I was tired of expecting things to happen only to be disappointed at the end of the year. This year I decided to allow God to lead. What I discovered is when He leads, AMAZING things happen!
I’m so grateful to be a contributing author in the Finally Free anthology. I’m so thankful for my Finally Free family. I have always believed in divine connections. I know God has placed me where I am at this specific moment in time, with this group of authors, for a specific purpose. For His purpose. He’s so intentional, y’all! It didn’t happen two or three years ago when I thought I was ready. It happened now, in the midst of a pandemic! HOW AWESOME!! He just amazes me! Y’all, I’m so thankful I allowed God to lead.
What a difference a year makes. My brother had just passed away in October 2019, and I was in a funk. I was disappointed, heartbroken, and felt hopeless. I really didn’t want to see or hear anything about expecting great things in the new year. Then, 2020 came and flipped everyone’s life upside down. By the time I was asked to do the anthology, I was just happy to feel normal again. Y’all, God is so good.He knew exactly what I needed to keep me going.
As I mentioned in my previous post, life never really happens as we envision it to; however, it always happens according to God’s plan and in our favor. This year I am without my mom. To be honest, everything feels like déjà vu. However, unlike four years ago, I am going into 2024 expecting great things to happen.
It’s Shaun’s World
