My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
This morning, I’m singing Hezekiah Walker’s song “Grateful.” The song says—
“I am grateful for the things that You have done. Yes, I’m grateful for the victories we’ve won. I could go on and on and on about Your works because I’m grateful, grateful, so grateful just to praise You Lord. Flowing from my heart are the issues of my heart, it’s gratefulness.”
God is so good. So very good. I’m so grateful to be in His presence. I am so grateful for His love. I am truly blessed.♥️ ~Shaun
You are in God’s hands. You’re covered. Right now, I can hear Marvin Sapp singing, “He Has His Hands On You.”
Marvin begins his song with these words—
“A lot of us in this house tonight, we are on the potter’s wheel right now and it’s not comfortable. It doesn’t feel good. But we need to just take solace in the fact that even though it may not feel good right now, as long as I’m in His hands I know that everything is going to be alright.” –Marvin Sapp
In God’s hands is such a wonderful place to be. After I shared my last post, “My Journey With God, No. 38,” God led me to read my journal entry written two years after I made the Facebook post (see previous post for reference—the journal entry date was December 18, 2020). After reading that entry, I heard, “There’s life after heartbreak.” He went on to show me a few other things. Things that gave me a sense of peace and hope.
This is what happens when we’re in God’s hands, when we’re covered. He will always send comfort, we just have to be open to receive it. And what I love about God—because He’s had to do this with me many of times—is that He doesn’t force us to receive the comfort when it’s offered. Instead, He holds it until we are ready to receive it. Today, I needed comforting after I saw that Facebook memory. God knew I was open to receive it, so He gave it to me. Beyond Blessed
Despite how crazily unpredictable life can become, I know that God has me covered. I am in His hands.
And so are you!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Very quick update—
I received my answer. Just had to be quiet enough to hear God’s voice. The grace I needed had nothing to do with me slacking or being on social media. I needed to give myself grace to be human, to be me.♥️
Grace…
Right now, I am struggling between giving myself grace and chastising myself for not dedicating at least 75% of my time to work today. I have been working but slacking a lot. Been on social media a lot more than usual today. I should have made yesterday a rest day because, baby, I definitely feel the weight of my trip today. Now, I am trying to figure out if I should attempt to do more than I already have scheduled (my last client is at 7:00 PM) or just take it easy during my breaks.
Should I feel guilty for not feeling motivated to do more, or should I give myself grace?
I’m really struggling with this…😩

A little bit of kindness goes a long way. Have you been kind to yourself lately?
Remember to be kind and gentle with yourself. Nothing in life ever remains the same. You are growing and evolving like everyone else and deserve just as much grace. So please, be kind to yourself.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
“The joy of the Lord is my strength.”
That phrase seems to be on repeat in my mind at the moment.
“The joy of the Lord is my strength.”
Y’all, I am so grateful for God’s love, mercy, and grace.
“The joy of the Lord is my strength.”
Beyond Blessed♥️
Psalm 34:1 – I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Praising God for His love, mercy, and grace. Thankful for His covering and protection. Where would I (we) be without them? All praises to God. Amen
God is good!
That’s the post. Nothing more to add.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
Since 2020, I have begun my day with reading Psalm 113. It all started when my friend Tara sent me a scripture from this chapter, which led me to read the entire chapter. I’ve been reading it every morning since.
Here is what I wrote—
“Before I forget, this morning’s scripture from Tara came from Psalm 113. I was led to read the entire chapter. This chapter matches what I am feeling at the moment. What I was feeling last night. It begins with “Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord…” Whew!”
Praise the Lord, y’all!
I pray you have a lovely day and beautiful week.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Psalm 113 (NIV)
1. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, you his servants; praise the name of the Lord.
2. Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.
3. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.
4. The Lord is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens.
5. Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high,
6. who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?
7. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
8. he seats them with princes, with the princes of his people.
9. He settles the childless [barren] woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord.
Growth is a process. Nothing happens overnight. Be patient with yourself, and be patient and kind to those you see growing.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
