For God’s Glory, Part 2

While I was writing my previous post, “For God’s Glory,” I kept hearing Tasha Cobbs Leonard singing, “For Your Glory.” So, I added her song to my Instagram and YouTube posts. I guess you can say it’s my praise and worship song for today. Everything I do is all for God’s glory, not mine. He’s my reason. Amen.

Wishing you a wonderfully, blessed day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

What’s In A Theme?

Here’s what I shared last year.

Facebook Memory: June 26, 2024

“Present and At Peace,” is my theme for #Year50. For years I have missed out on some great experiences because I was always anticipating the next. Not anymore! From here on out, I am staying present so I can fully enjoy my blessings.♥️

Peace like no other.

Until today, I had forgotten “Present and at peace” was my theme for Year50. Now, I look back and smile. Even though I had forgotten, God had not. All year long He made sure I didn’t miss a thing. While I was present, He was providing the peace. Y’all, God’s love is unmatched.

This year’s theme for Year51 is “Beyond Blessed.” I know that I am blessed, and I will not accept anything less than blessed, nor should you. Smile

Praying you have a wonderfully, blessed day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Chosen For This: Part 3

Went back to read what I had written on my birthday and happened to read what I had written the day before, exactly one year ago. You see, when I shared my first post for today, both quotes were from my Facebook memories. I had decided not to share the captions because I wasn’t really feeling them. Well, little did I remember, I had already shared one of the captions before. Smiling. Here’s what I wrote last year.

Chosen For This: Part 2 – June 23, 2023

“Not going to wait until next year when the Facebook post I shared today pops up as a Facebook memory. Nah… it has to be shared NOW, before Year 50. 

My words of affirmation…

Listen
Listen
LISTEN

Out of BILLIONS, YOU were handpicked to fulfill a purpose that only YOU can fulfill. Do not for one minute think your life has no meaning or you are not worthy of the dreams God placed in your heart. You are different for a reason. You were chosen for this. Not them, but YOU!

Walk in your purpose with confidence! Own it!!!

#Year50 is TOMORROW!!! It’s not what’s happening on the outside. It’s ALL about what’s happening on the inside. Whew!!!

Y’all already know I was pretty emotional when I wrote this. I am so serious and intentional about this next leg of my journey. God has been too good to me for me to keep suppressing His gifts. He made me like I am for a reason. I am Shaun and there is absolutely no other like me. I am one of one, for real.

Blessed!”

In tears. I love me some ME. For real. I am absolutely, without a doubt, one of a kind. Year50 showed me this. There is no one like me. Not at all.

When I tell you I am loving this side of 50!!! I am beyond grateful for the experiences, lessons and blessings of this past year. Never knew I needed them. However, God did! Before this day ends, and I enter another year, I would like to thank God for loving me. For holding my life, heart, and soul in His hands. For His covering and protection. For His mercy and grace. For His gentleness. For showing me, Me. When I tell you I am truly blessed, I mean it.

What a Jubilee Year!!! I made it!!!🎉🎉🎉

Year51 is loading… The other side of 50 is officially here!♥️

Only One Week Away

Hey Y’all! I am only one week away from one of the greatest dates of my life… MY BIRTHDAY!!!🎉🎉🎉

Almost 51! God is soooo amazing! Never, ever imagined being 50. I’m in awe. Grateful and blessed.🌺

Year51 is right around the corner. Smiling because this year, Year50, my Jubilee year, has probably been one of my most interesting years yet—spiritually. Never knew I needed the spiritual awakening I received. This awakening has been the driving force behind so many life changing experiences—mentally, emotionally, financially, physically, etc. Y’all, I am not sure what Year51, or this side of 50, holds; however, I do know this past year was preparation for the rest.

Cheers to the final week of my Jubilee year. It’s been real… for real!

Praying you have a beautifully, blessed week as we celebrate this last week of my Jubilee year. Yes, we. I am inviting you along. Let’s celebrate!🎉

Love you always,

Shaun

If you haven’t noticed by now, I create my own excitement. Always have and always will. Smile♥️

Grateful, Blessed, and Loved

Didn’t know what I wanted to share this morning. Having a lot of mixed emotions. However, grateful, blessed, loved are what I am feeling most.

Last night I attended a birthday party celebrating my grandmother’s first cousin’s 70th birthday. It was such a beautiful celebration. I only wish my mom and grandma were still alive to celebrate it with us. I miss them both soooo much. However, spending time with family—some of which I hadn’t seen in ages—made me feel as if they were still with me, just couldn’t make it to the party.

My grandma had 11 children—7 boys and 4 girls. My mom was the oldest. My aunt, Jackie, is her last surviving sister on my grandmother’s side. She’s only four years older than me. One of my first babysitters and playmates.💗

Grateful, blessed, and loved.♥️
