Just a friendly reminder—YOU are enough. Never doubt yourself. Never doubt what God has placed inside of you. Never doubt who He created you to be. At this very moment, with all that you lack or have, YOU are enough.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
You Are Enough

The Rebirth: Part 2
Below is a post I wrote last year about my Facebook memory from the year before (December 23, 2021). Guess I have been sharing my memories for a while now—smile. So, since the memory has already been shared, I will use the same quote (too good not to reshare) and piggyback off of what I shared yesterday about rebirth.
The rebirth…
The rebirth will require us to leave things behind. Things that have held us back and/or been haunting us for years, even decades. It’s time to release them so that we can move forward in our purpose.
When I started my journey on this side of 50, I had to release quite a few things (people too, some released themselves). At first, it didn’t feel good. Honestly, it felt like I was losing part of myself including my identity. If you have read any of my monthly “celebratory” blogs (one is coming tomorrow!), you know I went through a spiritual, emotional, and mental pruning phase. Baby, when I tell you it did not feel good! Had me grieving for real. But it helped me see what had to go and what needed to stay. Everything that is still with me today was meant to stay. Now, I still have some decluttering to do but it’s nothing like the pruning. Whew!
Tomorrow, I will be 50 1/2 (smile) and will share another celebratory update about my first six months on this side of 50 (woohoo!). So stay tuned…
Here is last year’s blog which contains Facebook memories from last year and the year before—December 23, 2022 & December 23, 2021. Enjoy!
By the way, I did put up my Christmas tree, played Christmas music and watched Christmas movies most of the day. It changed everyone’s mood. My babies have always fed off of my energy. It’s no different now that they are adults. I still have to set the tone for my little family despite what I may be feeling. I love seeing them smile.
I pray you have a wonderful day. Remember to love on someone today, and allow yourself to be loved on. There is no greater gift than love. Give it. Receive it. I love you!♥️

The Rebirth: Prepare For The New
I love my journal entries just as much as, if not more than, my Facebook memories. On December 22, 2014 I wrote:
God is getting ready to do something miraculous!! This revelation has got me praising God and really leaving it all alone. It doesn’t matter what the facts are, faith and trust are all I need. I have a story to tell.😊 God is awesome!!!
Twenty years later- the rebirth!! He said I’m restoring it all plus more because YOU ARE worth it!🙌
Perhaps the shift that is happening is so much more than I originally thought. It is a rebirth. It is the beginning of something new.♥️
This is my Year50…

Trust God’s Plan
Here’s another memory that I shared today on TikTok and Facebook. I posted it with the first song that came to mind—“I Understand,” by Smokie Norful. I believe it fits the quote perfectly. We must trust God’s plan.♥️ ~Shaun
God Is In Control
Our destiny is not controlled by man. It is controlled by God. Rest in Him while He guides you to where you are meant to be.♥️ ~Shaun
Only Two Weeks Left in 2023
Y’all, we are only two weeks away from the glorious 2024! Yes, I am referring to it as glorious because 6/24 is my birthday month as well as my 51st birthday. How cool is that! Looking forward to every wonderful thing God has planned for me. It’s going to be a great year!
Here’s a caption from one of last year’s Facebook memories along with the Hello Sunday post I shared with it.
Facebook Memory: December 18, 2022
Only 2 weeks left in 2022!🎉
Whatever happened or didn’t happen this year, was meant to be. If you’re human like me, I know you celebrated your wins, even the small ones. But your losses, disappointments and setbacks… How did you cope – or attempt to cope – when things didn’t quite go as planned?
Me– I leaned on God a little more. I’m so grateful for His love, mercy and grace.♥️
Y’all, self-love is everything, but God’s love will always, always, always reign supreme. I just love the way He loves me. If you do not already have a strong relationship with God, I suggest you build one. There is absolutely nothing like it—nothing like it! I cannot stress it enough, I am truly blessed.
Praying you have a peacefully, blessed week. Whatever goals you set for 2023 can still happen! Don’t let the countdown to the new year stop you from achieving as much as you can. You got this!
Love you!♥️

Trust God
Life is forever lifing. No matter what comes and what goes, God is always in control. Trust Him.♥️ ~Shaun
God is Undeniably Amazing
Never forget that God is absolutely, undeniably amazing. Period. Never doubt His love, goodness, grace, and greatness.♥️ ~Shaun
Sow Good Seeds
If you desire to reap good things, sow good seeds. It’s that simple.♥️ ~Shaun
**Updated
Decided to add this video, Leave It Alone, by Pastor Joel Osteen. Had bookmarked it to watch later. This was before I created the message for this post. Had no idea his message was about sowing good seeds. As Pastor Osteen says in the video, weeds are going to spring up along with your harvest, but don’t be discouraged, just know that the more weeds, the greater your harvest. Amen
Be Blessed!♥️
Chosen
Have you ever asked God, “Why me?”? If you have not, I most certainly have. I never asked disrespectfully, but I have asked. Y’all, I have questioned God so much at times that I know if He were human He would be sick of me.
Today’s Facebook memory is similar to the answers I typically receive after asking. Also, on that particular day (saw another post I shared), Pastor Steven Furtick had shared a snippet of his sermon about being chosen.
Facebook Memory: December 14, 2021
God chose YOU! Let that sink in. Feel it. Own it. Believe it.
Here’s a screenshot of Pastor Furtick’s post.
Whatever God has chosen you to do, you can do it. He will never choose you for something only to let you fail. Nope, not my God! So, trust Him. Continue allowing Him to lead and remain obedient. When you get tired, lean into Him and rest. Then, get back up and keep going. Believe me, He’s got you.
Wishing you a wonderfully, blessed day. Love you!♥️
