My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Good Morning!☀️
“My Journey With God” is the title I have decided on for one of my extra posts for the day. I may or may not post one daily, but when I do, it will be authentic, not forced.
Trust.
Trust God.
Trust His plan.
That’s the message! Have a wonderfully blessed day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
When you decide to commit yourself to God, you become His vessel. Meaning, you don’t always know how or when He will use you. All you know is that you were created and chosen for His divine purpose. Knowing this, must be enough. Trust Him. He’s got you, He loves you, and He will never leave you.
That’s all I have for now. Praying your day is just as amazing as you are!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
“Everything you are going thru is preparing you for what you asked for.”
Whew! Sometimes, I wonder what I asked for because I didn’t think it was much. You would think I asked God for the world. Laughing
Honestly though, what did I ask for that requires so much preparation?
Up until Year50, I thought I knew; however, at this point, I am at a complete loss. If you have been following me for a while, you know that I did ask God to make this side of 50 different from the last. Well, I guess I had one thing in mind, and He had another. This side is different, but not as different as I would have liked. Baby… I was looking for all things to be new (I mean, He is God😉), not just my mindset. But, I guess that’s where different starts.
Anyhoo…
I have absolutely no idea where God is taking me. I asked for different than what was, and I guess that’s what He’s preparing me for. However, it had to start with my mindset, first.
Right now, I’m just going with the flow. I’m not going to lie, it’s pretty nerve wracking at times because I was so used to anticipating what came next. Now, I’m out here blindly following God’s lead, with absolutely no idea of what’s to come—like, none—completely clueless. Yep, I’m just out here trusting His lead, and trusting His love for me. I know He will not lead me wrong, and whatever different is, will be greater and better than I imagined.🙏🏽
Well, that’s all for now. Thanks for reading! I pray you have a wonderfully, blessed weekend.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
The question of the day is–
“Did you ask God?”
Last year I wrote–
“Be sure to consult with God before making your next big move. Moving without His permission could be detrimental. Maybe not physically, but spiritually, emotionally, mentally and/or financially.”
Again… Did you ask God? Believe me, you don’t want to move without Him.
Praying you have a beautiful day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
I have always believed in creating something solid. Something that would outlast even me. Something sustainable.
Sustainability was always one of my first thoughts when asked to work on community-based research projects, especially those that had the potential of making or breaking communities—leaving them healthier or leaving them worse.
I always asked—and I’m pretty sure many were annoyed—What’s the plan for after?
After the funding ends.
After the results aren’t found favorable, or publishable.
After a bigger and better opportunity comes along.
What’s the plan for the community?
I have found that commitment, longevity, and endurance are key to sustainability. You have to be committed to the plan (the vision), and in it for the long haul. You have to push through the hard times. Now, I am not going to lie, there were times when I wanted to give up. Times when my heart was so broken that I did give up. Y’all, people be peopling. However, I am now realizing that when God has a purpose for your life, even you can’t stop it!
So, here I am.
What I am building will last. I know this to be true because God didn’t give me a vision for something temporary. For a quick fix. He gave me a vision for something sustainable, where communities will thrive.
Here’s another great share from Bruce Van Horn. When I tell you his posts kept me encouraged! He is missed.
One crawl, one step, and one leap at a time. It will happen… It is happening.♥️

Just a friendly reminder. You are not behind. No, you’re right where you should be at this moment in time. Remember, everything happens according to God’s timing, not ours.
While waiting, your/our (yes, myself included☺️) job is to continue following God’s instructions and guidance until whatever we dreamed comes to fruition. And you know those instructions I’m referring to. Yeah…the ones you keep putting off like God doesn’t see you. Smile. Well, follow those instructions first, and everything else will fall into place. Before you know it, you’ll be standing in your dream.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
Whatever you desire, it’s up to YOU to make it happen. Please do not wait for your circumstances to change. Start with what you have. Yes…that little bit. And God will do the rest. I’m telling you what I know to be true, not what I’ve heard.
Last year I shared, “Make it happen.” Two years before, I did just that. Smile. And I continue to do so today.

Believe me, God has placed everything you need to get started within your reach. The outcome doesn’t have to be perfect. God will perfect things along the way. All you have to do is initiate the process and He’ll do the rest. No more wasting years waiting—like the man in the Bible sitting by the pool waiting for someone to put him in so he could be healed. No, no more waiting! You need to make it happen, TODAY!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Happy Sunday! I pray your weekend is going well. Mine has been pretty great so far. I can’t complain.☺️
Today’s Hello Sunday is a reminder that the person people see you as today has been years in the making, even decades. Meaning, you did not become who you are overnight. It’s also a reminder to be gentle, kind, and patient with yourself as God continues—because the process is never ending—to shape and mold you into the person you know you’re meant to be. Remember, who you are today is only a glimpse of who you’re becoming. Smile♥️
Love you,
Shaun
I know life has been somewhat rough at times, and you have felt like giving up more times than you care to admit, but hang in there. Please don’t give up. I promise you, you are going to make it. Speaking from a wealth of experiences. Y’all, I made it!!!
Always remember, God has the final say. You were never meant to fail, but to prosper.
Now…
Breathe and keep going!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning! Couldn’t decide which Facebook memory to share, so I decided to share both. The message—
Persevere and create the life you desire and deserve. Don’t stop going or creating until you’ve achieved both. Then… KEEP GOING!♥️
Love you,
