My Journey With God, No. 75

Earlier, when I shared my first post, “I’m Blessed,” I had no idea I had written the following post on March 13, 2023, until I read my journal entry from that date.

This morning, I wrote—

“Thanking God for blessing me with hope and the gift of dreaming new dreams. I am beyond blessed.”

I had no idea I had actually written about my hopes and dreams on this date two years ago. Here’s what I shared then—

I’m Already Living In My Dreams,” March 13, 2023

Much too often we limit ourselves to what is familiar… to what we know and see.

When I was in my twenties, God gave me a taste of what I said wanted but I was too naive to recognize it. For decades, I saw myself in international spaces. Wrote in my Senior book (high school journal) that I wanted to work for an international company. God gave me the Air Force. Said I wanted to travel to different countries. I lived in Germany and Turkey. Shoot, even said I wanted to live in the city I’m living in now, eight years before I actually moved here; and the move was not intentional, it just happened.

So, here I am actually living in all I have spoken… in all I have dreamed. No, nothing is or has happened the way I envisioned, but everything has happened and is happening.

For years, I have seen myself standing in front of the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland admiring the flags of different countries. I have seen myself walking its halls and interacting with people from all nations. Well… I am already doing it through my blogs and social media platforms. No, I am not physically at the U.N.; however, everything I saw myself doing, I’m doing from the comfort of my home. Now, this does not mean I don’t want to go to Geneva, Switzerland because that’s still a dream of mine. What it does mean is I now recognize the gift I have been given and I am eternally grateful that I am living in my dreams.

I am truly blessed.

I would like to thank all of you for reading my blogs and helping me fulfill my dreams. I so appreciate you!♥️

If you don’t mind, please leave a comment and let me know where you are reading from.


I thank God for reminding me that dreams rarely resemble what we envisioned; however, the core of our dreams never changes. I am not just dreaming new dreams but expanding and reimagining the dreams God placed within me as a child. I also recognize that my reality is interconnected with my dreams. Talk about being blessed!

Y’all, God is so amazing!♥️

Breathe… You Got This!

Many days will come with challenges—some big and some small. When you find yourself facing one, remember to take a moment to breathe.

Breathe…

You got this!♥️

I love you always,

My Journey With God, No. 74

Y’all, the struggle is real!

Do I choose what I want now?

Or…

Do I choose what I want most?

Will my choice make my 100-year-old self proud or look back with regrets?

Again, the struggle is real.

Life is real.

Only time will tell which I chose.

Humbleness

Good Morning☀️

Humbleness: the quality or state of being modest and lacking in pride or arrogance.

“Humbleness is where ego ends and God begins.” Moi☺️

Be humble.

Umm… I know I can’t be the only one hearing “My left stroke just went viral.” IYKYK Smile

Stay humble.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Allowing God To Lead

That’s how I ended my journal entry on March 10, 2020—“Allowing God to lead.”

Whenever I feel the urge to take control, He gently reminds me to allow Him lead.

Remember to allow God to lead. He knows where He’s taking you, and believe me, it’s somewhere AMAZING!

I love you much!♥️

Shaun

God’s light shines through me.
