My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Good Morning! Here’s today’s Facebook memory.
Facebook Memory: August 5, 2022
You may have to endure a few twists and turns, ups, downs and failures before you experience true success. The key is to continue pressing forward. Believe me, NOTHING can stop God’s plan for your life. You are destined for greatness!
Praying this is one of your best weeks ever. Love you!♥️

Hello! Happy Sunday!
“Stay open for change. Be willing to accept the new thing God is doing.” Joel Osteen
That quote was the first post in my Facebook memories under August 4th.
God is doing a new thing. At times it may feel uncomfortable, but it’s necessary. When I woke up, the first thought I had was how did I end up here? Followed by, why me? Of all the people God could have chosen, He chose me to experience everything I have experienced. Why?
Have you ever asked yourself the same questions or similar? Why didn’t he choose someone else?
Then, I opened my memories and that’s the first message—be open for change and willing to accept the new thing God is doing.
Now, my question is, “God, what are you about to do now?”
Well, here’s what I am going to do. I am going to do what I have been doing for a while now and trust God. Trust Him wholeheartedly. Here’s a screenshot of the second post from last year. Smiling because it’s the answer to my questions, all of my questions—all of our questions. It’s not about our will but God’s.
I want to end with this, whatever it is you’re going through, give it to God, including your heart. I don’t know about you, but it’s easier for me to let go of things my heart isn’t attached to. But it’s something that’s so necessary for us to grow and move forward. We trust God with everything else, why not trust Him with our hearts? Haven’t we figured it out yet that God is Thee Heart Mender. Allow Him to do what only He can do. Then… Stay open and be willing to receive and accept the new thing He is doing. Talking to myself, too. Smile.
Well, that’s all I have right now. I woke up a little after 2:30 AM and decided to write. So, I’m going to go ahead and share, then roll over and go back to sleep. I pray you have an exceptionally blessed day.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
I am so much stronger and better equipped because I listened and obeyed. –Shaun
Hey y’all! So, I had written several paragraphs—several long paragraphs—and when I finished, I heard not to share any of it. And I obeyed.
Obedience.
Growth.
I’m listening God.
Praying you have another beautiful day.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Hello! Praying you had a wonderful weekend. Today’s message is, “Obedience leads to peace.”
Lately, I have noticed how much more peaceful life has become since I decided to obey God the first time. Not the third or fourth time, or after I have asked for several confirmations, but the first time.
If peace is what you seek, be obedient. Love you.♥️ ~Shaun
Hello! I’m hoping you’re doing well. I realize I haven’t greeted you in ages, which is pretty rude of me. It’s like me walking into a room and not speaking, or waking up and not saying “Good Morning.” Please forgive me for not acknowledging you before sharing my thoughts. I promise to do better and not only let you know you are loved at the end, but that your presence is appreciated at the beginning.
So, while looking for inspiration for this post, I found this prayer in one of my “Wednesday Writings” (July 21, 2021). It is one I haven’t said in a while or been mindful of. Here it is —
“I pray that I recognize and accept the opportunities He [God] sends my way. I pray fear does not stop me from moving forward. I pray God gives me the strength– mentally, spiritually and physically– to endure this task.”
I ended it with —
“I know God’s got me, but do I have myself?”
Hmmm…
That was a great question. Did I have myself? Well, I thought I did, and to some extent I did. However, I was still working through a lot of stuff. One of which was learning to put myself first. To stop overlooking my needs, desires, and feelings to appease others. That was in 2021. Today, I can’t say I am 100% there; however, I am pretty close (95-98%). Had to get over the guilt of feeling selfish. The interesting part is the ones who mattered the most, my two hearts, were the ones urging me to take care of myself, first. Maybe they are actually the reason for my growth. I just love them and the way they love me. I guess I said all of that to say, “Yes, I got me!”
I also found another gem in the post (besides the prayer). I was celebrating my continual days of writing. Here’s what I wrote —
“I’m on my 67th day of continuous blogging and refuse to stop until I reach 100 days.”
100 days…
100 days was my goal…
Y’all, I’m in tears! Today makes 1170 days of continuous blogging. And to think I was only trying to make it to 100. Back then I was struggling to post once a day. Now, I’m posting at least twice a day, and not only on this platform but others. Yep… I’m crying. I had no idea of what I was capable of. It may not seem significant to you but it’s huge to me. These are my 1170 blue hearts.💙
I’m going to go ahead and end here because I’m crying (tears of praise and gratitude) too much to keep writing. Praying you have a wonderful Sunday. ♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Simple, yet so true and comforting. God’s got you. I don’t know about you, but for me, Him having me in His hands is enough. More than enough.♥️
Feeling…
Humbled
Blessed
and
Loved
