My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I hope and pray you’re well?🌸
I was searching for something to share this morning and came across this image. It made me smile. So, why not share it?
I hope it made you smile, as well.☺️
I’m still singing Elevation Worship’s song “Worthy.” God is so worthy to be praised. So worthy!🙏🏽
I pray you have a great day. May it be filled with lots of love, peace, and joy.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
Today has been a rather oddly good day. That’s about the only way I can explain it. So odd, yet good. I could see God’s hand in everything, even things I found strange, uncomfortable, and somewhat challenging. I could see God.
Feeling blessed. Yes, God’s hand is in everything, and everything is in God’s hands.
I’ve been singing “Worthy” by Elevation Worship all day. The song says, “Worthy is Your name, Jesus. You deserve all praise. Worthy is Your name.” Amen
I pray you had a wonderful day. You deserved it!♥️
Love you much,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I pray you’re doing well.🌸
“The Encourager”
That was the name of my mom’s monthly newsletter. She used to send them to friends and family in the early 2000s. After she died, that was one of the things her friends remembered about her. Here’s a copy. She would’ve been a great blogger.💗
The Encourager (April 2003) written by Dorothy Bradford
“No matter what we suffer or have lack of, when we learn to put God first, to love Him, and to recognize His voice and obey, we have assurance that all things are working to our good.”
What a word! A word that she lived by.
This is a short week! I pray you have a beautiful day. May God make you feel extra special today. You deserve it!♥️
I love you,
Shaun
The waves and woes of life will toss you here and there. Sometimes, you may not know if you’re coming or going. But you have nothing to fear as long as you remain rooted and grounded in God. His covering is solid, unwavering. Trust Him. He’s got you!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I sincerely hope you are well.🌸
Today, I’m doing the same as I did on this day three years ago. I’m keeping the message simple. No frills or extra words needed.
Remain hopeful.🙏🏽
I pray you have a beautiful day and wonderful week. May it be filled with love, joy, and peace.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
On this day six years ago (May 26, 2019), I wrote the following—
“Goodbye comfort zone. It’s time to create the life I’ve always dreamed of.”
Then, when I shared it, I added the caption—
“Leaving my comfort zone,” and used the hashtags—Refocusing and Rebuilding.”
I wish I could say everything happened instantaneously, but it took me a while to leave my comfort zone—actually, it took a few years. Believe me, it wasn’t easy. I had become so comfortable where I was.
I’m so glad I made that decision. If I hadn’t, there is no telling what my life would be like today. I needed a change so I could grow. I needed my babies to see me evolving. I owed it to God to use the gifts He’d given me. And I owed it to myself to keep pursuing my dreams and purpose. I needed to become ME.
I am so very grateful for God’s love, grace, and patience with me. He did not give up on me or let me give up on myself. There were so many times when I wanted to quit and settle, but He wouldn’t let me. Y’all, He’s such a good God.
Sitting here in awe.
I’m no longer where I used to be.
I did it! ✨♥️

Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I hope you’re well.🌸
“Be still and have faith” is how I ended last year’s journal entry (May 26, 2024). I was becoming antsy and impatient because life wasn’t moving at the pace I wanted. I felt like I needed to do something. I needed to make things happen on my own because God wasn’t moving fast enough for me. I had thought of so many things I could’ve been doing, yet I heard to “be still and have faith.” Looking back over the past year, I am so grateful I was obedient. Had I not been, I would have missed out on so many opportunities as well as the connections and relationships I’ve built. What God has done in one year was taking me years to build.
Here’s my takeaway, or what I’ve learned—
Whenever you want to take control because God doesn’t seem to be moving, or He’s moving much too slowly—BE STILL! I even wrote in that entry, “Shaun, sit on your hands if you must.” And I almost needed to. BUT GOD!
Be still and have faith that God is going to do what He said He would do PLUS more! No lie, He will blow your mind!
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. Today is Memorial Day here in the United States. Please remember those who sacrificed their lives for us to have the freedoms we still have today.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
This is how God works in my life! When I tell you He loves me!🥰
Short story…
Last night, in my post, “Service Before Self,” I wrote—
“I miss that life [Air Force life]. I miss the camaraderie. We were more than coworkers and colleagues. We were family.”
I ended it with—
“I believe I need to visit an Air Force base soon. I need to see my people.”
Fast forward to God hearing and delivering!
Below is a reply from my friend, who happens to be a retired Air Force Lt. Colonel. Notice the time stamp: Friday, 8:55 PM. That was the time she replied to one of my Facebook stories. Well, I didn’t see it until after 8:00 AM this morning.
After seeing her message, I called her several times, but the calls kept failing. Then, I texted and messaged her, but she never responded. By 8:30, I was heading to her house. When I tell you all kinds of thoughts were going on in my head. “What if she was on the road and her car broke down?” “What if she was hurt or needed me to drive her somewhere?” “What if she had fallen and couldn’t get up?!” She is 84, so it’s possible (plus she’s always joking about it😅). So, what was I supposed to think?
By the time I got to her house, I was in tears and preparing myself for the worst. Her car was in her driveway, so she wasn’t stranded somewhere. I rang the doorbell, and guess who came to the door smiling? It was her, all happy to see me. All I could do was hug her. Y’all, she had forgotten that she had replied to my story. And her message was supposed to say, “Call me” instead of “Car.” Ugh… That crazy autocorrect! And when she said she needed “some help,” she meant she needed help finding something.
Anyhoo… I ended up spending the day with her and having a lovely time. It wasn’t until this afternoon that I realized God had given me what I wanted and needed—time with my Air Force family, and I didn’t have to wait.🥰
I am forever in awe of my God! I cannot express enough how truly grateful and blessed I am.♥️

** By the way… THE COUNTDOWN IS ON!!! In exactly ONE MONTH, I will be 52!!!🎉🎉🎉
Never patch what you can repair. Instead, take your time and fix it. Fix it or it will continue to fall apart.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I hope you’re well.🌺
All day yesterday and now, this morning, the song that’s been on repeat in my head is Kirk Franklin & the Family’s song, “Conquerors.” The song says—
We ran the race, we kept the fight. We shed our blood for what was right. We carried our cross through storm and rain. Because of Christ now we can say—We are conquerors, conquerors. We are conquerors, conquerors.
. . . More than conquerors. More than conquerors. More than conquerors.
Whatever you may be up against, know that God’s given you the strength to endure and overcome it. You are more than a conqueror.
I pray you have the loveliest of days. Remember, God’s got you.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
