My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
No matter what you are going through or what things may look like, remember God has the final say. Keep your head up and keep going because it is not over until God says it’s over. Can’t you hear Maurette Brown Clark singing, “It ain’t over, til God says it’s over. … Keep fighting until the victory is won.” Well, I surely can. Smile (It Ain’t Over)
Wishing you a fabulous week.
Be blessed!♥️

Love today’s memory. It’s a reminder that waiting is so necessary. Most of the time we do not understand why we have to wait. However, if we are not careful, and make moves before we receive God’s approval, things will not go as smoothly as they would have if we would have waited, or they will not work out at all.
From my experience, waiting is part of the growing season. Looking back over my life, I can see how things played out when I was impatient and did not wait on God versus when I waited (not always patiently, smile) on God. Boy is there a big difference! I can see where my impatience caused me to have quite a few unfavorable experiences—unfavorable but not always terrible. Some were actually fun! Just saying. Yeah, they were fun but they costed me time, resources, and emotional distress—things I cannot recover—and delayed blessings. However, with that being said, those experiences were not wasted. They were lessons that taught me the importance and benefits of patience and waiting.
Today, I can say the lessons are paying off. Y’all, my patience has help me persevere through some crazy times. Times when I have wanted to step out of God’s will and do things on my own. The waiting period has allowed me time to grow, to get to know myself better, to become more focused, and to make better decisions. So thankful for both.

If your answer is WAIT, do not lift a finger before God tells you to move. He does not need your help with making things move along faster. Everything that is meant to happen WILL happen according to His plan and timing. So, wait.. with patience.♥️
Wishing you a wonderful weekend! Remember to show yourself some love.
Love you,

I shared this message of Pastor Joel Osteen’s 12 years ago. Twelve years ago! Y’all, sooo much has happened since then. Since me saying, “God, I’m going to let You take me where You want me to go.” Honestly, I do not believe anything could have prepared me for what would come. Listen, sometimes our plans and God’s plans are completely different.
Took many years to finally appreciate the freedom of allowing Him to lead/drive. Now, it’s almost like second nature…almost! Smile. There are still times when I take the wheel because I believe I know what’s best. Then when things don’t quite work out, I let Him drive again. As Pastor Osteen said, God sees the detours, dead ends, and shortcuts. He sees all. Thankfully, I am finally at a point in life where it doesn’t take me as long to realize who’s in the driver’s seat.
Twelve years later, and I am beyond blessed. I am so glad I allowed God to drive.♥️
This is Year50…

Times up for being afraid. Fear has held you back for way too long. It’s time for you to be who God created you to be. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

It’s time to be fearless.♥️
Happy Saturday!
Aren’t you tired of trying to do God’s job?
If you are not, I know I am. Laughing.
Listen, I am giving this job back to Him. He can have it. From now on—which is what I have been claiming to have been doing—I am being still and staying out of His way. No more interference from me. Not moving unless He instructs me to do so. His will be done. Period! I’m tired, but listening…and being obedient.

When God tells us to be still, He means, “Be Still!” This means to stop thinking about it. Leave it alone!
He’s shown me again and again that He works best when I stop interfering. When I stop trying to figure things out.
Allow Him to work.♥️
Love you!♥️

You know that thing—
That thing you keep pursuing but just cannot seem to achieve.
That thing that has been nagging you for years, even decades, that your soul can’t seem to let be.
You know, that thing you were so close to achieving then something happened that threw everything off track…
Yeah… that thing.
Well, today, we are celebrating our (gotta include myself) wins in advance.
From here on, see yourself walking in everything you set out to achieve. Feel yourself in it! Yes, you had a few setbacks, but now you are finally there and pursuing other dreams. Pat yourself on the back because you did not give up. Nope. You were resilient. You hung in there and kept going. Now, you are there. YOU DID IT!♥️
Celebrate
Love you,
Shaun
If God said it, believe it!♥️ ~Shaun

Do not let the size of a mustard seed fool you. Although tiny in size, it’s big, bold, and strong; and it carries a faith and confidence that can move mountains. Big dreams require big faith, which can be as small as a mustard seed.
Wanted to add—
Do not let your current situation stop you from believing that you are already living the life you dreamed. It may not look like what you imagined; and that’s only because you have not arrived at that chapter yet. Keep going. Keep believing. Enjoy the journey. Before you know it you will see what you imagined. Hang in there!♥️

God is still in control. Trust Him to lead, even when you know think you can do things faster or better. Believe me you can’t. What I have learned from experience, and I am still learning, my interference never helps the situation. It just prolongs it. My advice (and you best believe this is a word for me too) step back, stand still, and watch God work.
Praying you have a wonderfully, blessed day. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun
Today, in the United States, we are celebrating the life and legacy of the late, great civil rights activist, leader, and minister, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. When I think of Dr. King, I think of timing and purpose. He was placed in the right place at the right time to fulfill a purpose that only he could fulfill.
Let that soak in…
Dr. King was placed in the right place at the right time to fulfill a purpose that only HE could fulfill. Talk about the true definition of one of one.
Y’all, God is so strategic about His purpose and plan. Everything that happens is designed to perfectly align with God’s purpose and plan; and our role in it all is so strategic. Listen, we matter. Yes…we matter! YOU matter! We are not just here to take up space. No…WE are here to fulfill a specific purpose during this time.
Please hear me! WE are alive during this particular time to fulfill a purpose that only we can fulfill. WE are the Dr. Kings of our time.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
