When You Don’t Quite Fit In

January 2, 2025

When you don’t quite fit in—

Do you shrink?

Do you hide?

Do you change who you are to fit in?

Being different takes courage—often more courage than many of us are willing to muster.

God made each one of us different for a reason. We are like pieces of a puzzle; we weren’t designed to fit someone else’s space. Embrace being different so that you can fulfill your God-given purpose as well as see your dreams come to fruition. The world needs you to show up as you. You need you to show up as YOU!♥️

I love you,

My Journey With God, No. 126

Lying here thinking about how truly blessed I am. I know I mention it in almost every post. But I can’t help it. Y’all, I am blessed!

I may not have much materially or financially; however, the love, peace, and joy I have are priceless. Now, I’m not saying I don’t desire certain material things or financial wealth—I mean, who doesn’t—but it’s truly the simplest of things that make my life feel GRAND. It’s the hugs, smiles, love, laughter, conversations, and great memories that fill my heart and leave me feeling like I’m on cloud nine.

GOD, THANK YOU for blessing me!♥️

Forever grateful,

Shaun

Don’t Wait! You’re Already There

Good Morning☀️ and Happy Self Love Saturday!🥰

Here’s a Self Love Saturday video I made for TikTok a couple of years ago. I said I could feel myself living in my dreams.

Although we speak as if our dreams are destinations, I believe they’re ongoing stories. It’s our mindset—and let’s be real, our circumstances, too—that tells us our dreams are far off. However, it’s not the dream that we’re waiting for, but the part of the dream we envisioned.

As I said in the video, “I’m already there. I don’t have to wait.” Smiling as I think about how I started doing things I envisioned myself doing when I reached the dream. I stopped waiting for the dream to happen and started living it. Eventually, I’ll see what I envisioned—in God’s time.☺️


Listen, the dream is happening. It’s happening every day from the moment you open your eyes to the time you fall asleep. You are living in your dream(s). You just haven’t reached the part you envisioned.

I dare you to start living like you’re already there. Believe me, you’ll be amazed by how your life changes!


This is it for now. I pray you have a beautiful day! Remember to do something extra special for yourself.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 112

Sitting here thinking about how good God is. Y’all, He’s so good. Even on my worst day (not today—today’s been a good day☺️) He’s still good.

Whenever I want to quit, He nudges me to keep going.

Whenever the tears won’t stop flowing, He comforts me.

When chaos surrounds me, He gives me peace.

There’s absolutely none like my God.

Feeling grateful and blessed.🥰

Lord, thank You for loving me.♥️
