When You Praise

“When You Praise” by Fred Hammond is the song of the hour. The song says—

When you praise, when you praise,
There should be a fire in your heart.
Hands up raised, when you praise,
Consuming every part because you know
The GOD we serve will make
His presence known, when you praise,
When you praise.


Keep the praises going! God is making His presence known.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Change Begins With YOU

Change requires change, and that change begins with you. Whatever change you desire to see, start making moves toward that change. Do not stop until …

Change

On this day a year ago, I wrote another blog post titled “Change.” Here’s what I shared then—

“Change requires change.” [Originally shared on August 25, 2023]

This morning, I was torn between sharing this Facebook memory and one from 2018 that said, “Don’t limit God.” Then it dawned on me that both were actually connected. We limit God when we choose not to change. As we know, change isn’t always easy, and most of the time it requires more work than many of us are willing to put in unless we want it badly enough. However, if we truly want to see God do the impossible, we must be willing to release the limits off Him and be ready to change to align with where He’s taking us.

Question: Are you willing to put in the work to change?


Change is what I’ve been experiencing lately. Not in a bad way, but an empowering way. What I wrote last year is exactly what I’m experiencing today—

“We limit God when we choose not to change… if we truly want to see God do the impossible, we must be willing to release the limits off Him and be ready to change to align with where He’s taking us.”

Y’all, God is so good. It always amazes me how He subtly takes us from point A to point B, and we have no clue it’s happening. We may feel something happening, but it doesn’t actually resonate until we see reminders like past posts or journal entries.

I’m so grateful for the change I see in me. I’m embracing it—all of it. I’m so thankful and blessed that God loves me.

Have you experienced anything lately that you asked for or just thought about?

I pray life is treating you kind. Side note: Why am I hearing Whitney singing “I hope life treats you kind…”? I just love my life. It’s so random.

Anyhoo…

Have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with peace, joy, and love.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Happy 53 Years & 2 Months To Me🎉

Today, I’m taking a moment to celebrate two months of being 53 years old. Y’all, it’s a blessing that I do not take lightly.

Over the past few weeks, I have witnessed so much suffering, pain, loss, grief, and sadness. So many young lives lost. So many people losing hope. Honestly, seeing it all made me want to retreat into my bubble and disconnect from everything outside my small circle. No matter how much light I tried to fill my timelines with, the more heart-wrenching stories seeped in. It was too much—so overwhelming. I know I can’t disconnect as I did before. I have too much work to do, and my purpose won’t allow it—Not this time!

As I prayed last night, God gave me this message—

You were never meant to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. It’s far too heavy a burden to bear. If you really must help, here’s what …

Release It To God

Today, I’m giving every burden and every care to God and celebrating life.🌺

I pray that you do the same. I know it’s much easier said than done, and I’m pretty sure I’ll have to remind myself to do so throughout the day. Smile, I’m human. But we’ve got this because God’s got us!

Wishing you a wonderful day filled with peace, love, and joy. You deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Good Night (71)

Ending the night with Colin Powell’s quote—

“Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.”

We must remain optimistic no matter how dismal things may appear. I know on some days it’s easier said than done because right now so many people are hurting. However, we must continue to believe things will get better soon. Y’all, we cannot afford to lose hope. We must remain optimistic.

Wishing you a peaceful night. Please get some rest.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Happy Self-Love Saturday! August 22, 2026

Today, receive the love that you so freely give to others.

Receive The Love

Happy Self-Love Saturday!

As you go about your day, remain open to receiving the love you give. Too often, we focus so much on making sure others feel loved that we don’t allow anyone to fully show us love.

Today, I encourage you to embrace every ounce of love that comes your way. You deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Let God’s Glory Shine Through You

Good Morning☀️ And Happy Friday!

Let God’s glory shine through you and through everything you touch and do. Allow Him to fill you with His presence. Amen


The song of the hour is Earnest Pugh’s song, “Rain On Us.” The song says—

Let your glory fill this place
Let your all-consuming fire, fill this tabernacle
Purify our hearts
Surround us in this place
And breathe new life within us
Send a refreshing glory
Purify our hearts

Rain on us, Breathe on us
Shower down, Shower down
Send your Spirit, Lord

Lyrics: Genius.com

“Rain On Us” by Earnest Pugh

Continue to be a beacon of God’s light. Allow Him to use you as He sees fit.


Wishing you a wonderful day and beautiful weekend. May it be filled with lots of love, joy, and happiness.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Always Choose Kindness And Love

Good Morning☀️

Today’s post is a gentle reminder to always choose kindness and love—always.

These are not your weaknesses, but your strengths.

Kindness And Love

Y’all, this week has flown by! I can’t believe it’s almost the end of the year. Seems like 2026 just began. I say it all the time, all you have to do is blink and it’s 10-20 years later. Smile…or Sigh

Listen, stay present, but also keep moving. Don’t let time get away from you. As I wrote a few days ago about life, time is also precious and should be respected and held dear.

I pray you have a beautifully blessed day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Optimism

Good Morning☀️ And happy Wellness Wednesday!

Optimism…

Cambridge Dictionary defines optimism as: “the quality of being full of hope and emphasizing the good parts of a situation, or a belief that something good will happen.”

Optimism isn’t a lost cause.

The Best

Optimism is most definitely not a lost cause, and as the late General Colin Powell put it— “perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.”

Listen, your optimism could be the difference between a plain old good day and a FANTABULOUS day!✨

Remain optimistic!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Happy Tuesday!

I believe this is my first post having a Tuesday title. Will have to check and see. Poor Tuesday… I need to be more intentional about showing this day some love. Smile🥰

Anyhoo… I hope your week has started off well and continues to go well. Here’s the post I shared today on Shaun’s Daily Inspiration—

God knows what lies ahead. He knows the uncertainty you will face, the hills you will climb, and peaks of mountains you will see. Allow God to guide.…

Allow God To Guide

Allow God to guide you to where you need to be. You can trust Him—always trust Him.


Wishing you a wonderful day! Remember to be kind to yourself and give yourself grace.♥️

I love you,

Shaun
