God’s Will Be Done

Had to share this message twice!

Whatever it is, release control and surrender it to God. He will not let you fail. You were not designed to fail. Believe me when I say He’s got you. Trust Him.♥️ ~Shaun

God’s Will Be Done

“Draw Me Close to You/Thy Will Be Done” by Marvin L. Winans

Hello Sunday

Happy Sunday, y’all! Was debating whether to write about what’s currently going on in my life (things are finally settling down—will share later) or share a Facebook memory. Well…I chose the memory. Smile. Its message could not be any clearer—God’s will be done.

Whatever it is, release control and surrender to God’s will. Believe me, He will not let you fail. He’s got you.

Of course I heard Marvin L. Winans singing, “Draw Me Close To You/Thy Will Be Done.” Smile. He ends the song with, “I seen You work in others and I want You to work in me.”

This morning’s prayer is:

Lord, I am surrendering it all to you. I have seen Your work with others and know You will do the same with me. Lord, I completely trust You with my all. Thy will be done. Amen

Praying you have a wonderful week! Stay in prayer. Stay connected to God. Love you!♥️

Keep Climbing

You are so very close. Keep going!

Distractions will come.
Setbacks will happen.
Never stop climbing.

Rest when needed.
Crawl if you must.
But never stop climbing.

You are so close to your dreams. Keep climbing.♥️

It’s Time to Stop Hiding

Below is a quote by motivational speaker, Dr. Cheryl Wood. I shared it on this date five years ago (March 13, 2019). Back then, I was definitely hiding. Didn’t want to be noticed. Little did I realize I wasn’t just hiding myself from the world, but I was hiding my gifts. I was downplaying my purpose and calling. Well…no more!

I AM HERE!

Are you hiding your brilliance or downplaying your gifts? If so, today is the day to stop! Today is your day to come out of hiding and SHINE!

Love you!♥️

Overthinking

I needed this reminder today because that is exactly what I have been doing lately—overthinking. Last night I told my daughter that I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t turn my mind off. Seems like I have been trying to solve everyone’s problems lately, and none are directly mine. Yesterday, I could feel my body changing. I had become so stressed and tense. Had to force myself to do something other than work or think. Decided to put down my phone and watch “Annie,” the Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhané Wallis one. I needed that bit of relief. I’m promising myself to do better today.♥️ ~Shaun

Facebook Memory: March 12, 2019

Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. I’m always thinking… often overthinking. Always trying to figure things out or solve a problem. Life is a mystery. We cannot predict what will happen next. We can only assume what will happen. Very few things in my life, have happened as expected. Honestly, I don’t believe anything has ever gone exactly as planned or imagined. So, today, I plan to stop overthinking and just let go. Totally trusting God.

Praying and trusting God to do His job because it’s not on me to do. I must remember my place. God’s got everyone I am concerned about. Trusting Him.🙏🏽

Stop Running

Here’s one of my Facebook Memories from a year ago.

Facebook Memory: March 8, 2023

It’s not even mid-morning and I have a message:

Stop running from what you’re called to do and where you are called to be. God will equip you with everything you need when you need it. Trust Him.♥️

Well…

It’s time to stop running. You already know what you are called to do. Time to do it!

Don’t worry. God’s got you.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Hope, Part 2

You have come too far to give up now. Remain hopeful.

Sometimes when I share, I share my thoughts as I am processing them, or as they are revealed to me. Yesterday, I had one of my “aha” moments about what I truly desired to achieve, not physically but spiritually. It wasn’t until I shared my message about hope on YouTube that I was able to put into words what that actually meant. Here’s what I shared:

“I have decided to build my foundation on hope. Not only hope for myself, but hope for others. It’s my desire to see a more hopeful world. I pray that I inspire others to remain hopeful through everything I do. Whether that’s through my posts, random encounters, or nutrition sessions and cooking demos. I must do my part to keep hope alive. The light is dimming. We cannot afford to let it go out.”

Please join me in keeping hope alive. Love you!♥️

Small Blessings

Facebook Memory: March 5, 2023

I have discovered it’s not the big, glorious things that make life so interesting. It’s the small things leading to the big ones that are so remarkable and rewarding!

Be mindful of the small blessings.♥️

Take nothing for granted.

That was the caption I used when I shared that date’s Hello Sunday.

Praying you enjoy your day, and remember the small blessings.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Never Give Up

Here’s today’s Facebook memory from my Nutrition with LaShaundreaB page:

Y’all, I needed to see this memory today. Earlier, I saw where Tabitha Brown had shared a couple of posts from years ago, years before she became well known. One of her messages was, “Never stop DREAMING!!” She shared it on March 1, 2011, thirteen years ago!

As I said, I needed to see this memory today. Y’all, I haven’t shared any food pictures or made any cooking videos in months. Honestly, I had decided to let that dream go. I felt like it was taking too much time and focus away from things that I should have been focusing on. Same with drawing. Whew. I have so many decisions to make. Do I follow my passions now, or put them off until later? I really wish I was superwoman and could do it all. Life…

Here’s the video that I had made showing me preparing the salad. I had shared it as a Facebook reel, but for some reason the link won’t work on here. And for some crazy reason I didn’t share it on Instagram. Anyhoo…here’s the YouTube short.

March 2, 2023

Yeah… I definitely needed to see this today. God is so good. As Tabitha said all those years ago, we should never stop dreaming. She didn’t and now she’s living in hers.

When I tell you Year50 is doing a number on me! But it is what I asked for, right? If I want the next 50+ to be different, I have to do something different. Which means I have to focus on what I desire the next 50 years to be like, and can’t continue doing what was comfortable the last 50.

Okay, that’s all. Just felt like sharing.

Keep going! It will happen!!♥️
