Always Keep God First

Good Morning!☀️

That’s what I wrote in my journal on October 22, 2023. “Always keep God first.” Believe me, He will not lead you wrong.

Soooo…

Did anyone do anything different yesterday?

Well, I did! It wasn’t drastically different, but it was different.

Yesterday, I wrote about how I felt my spirit worshipping God while hearing Tamela Mann’s song, “Change Me,” repeatedly playing in my head. When I finally listened to it, I had it on repeat for well over an hour. Every time I went to stop playing it, I kept hearing, “One more time.” So I played it until another song popped into my head, which was John P. Kee’s “I Do Worship.” Y’all, my spirit was definitely in worship mode.

So, here’s where ‘different’ came in. After listening to my songs, I really felt the need to share what I was experiencing with the world. I had already written it here (see Mid-Afternoon Worship) but needed to get it out verbally without any interruptions. So, I made a short video and shared it on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. I also shared how I could feel a shift taking place. I’ve been feeling it for a while; however, now the feeling is becoming stronger. And it’s not a bad shift, but a good one.

When I tell you it must have been for me to share! Y’all, I had zero anxiety. None! That has never happened, before. Never! I know it may seem small to you, but it was huge for me.

So, that was my different.

Y’all, God is good. So good. There’s no way I could not keep Him first. As I said, I know it may not seem like a big deal, it was just a video. But it was big for me. What took me a few minutes to do yesterday, would have taken me hours to do before, and it was only a couple of minutes long.


Thank you for allowing me to share. I pray you have a beautifully blessed day.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

A New Day

Good Morning!☀️

Today is a new day! In other words, it’s an opportunity for a new beginning. An opportunity to do something different. To want something different. To expect something different.

Soooo…

What will you do differently?

What do you want to be different?

What are you expecting to be different?

Just a few questions to ponder. Smile


I pray you have an amazing week that’s different and more wonderful than you expected.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Your Purpose Is Too Great To Settle

Good Morning!☀️

Here’s my first message for today—

Your purpose is much too great for you to settle for what is, or where you are. As I said last year, “You’ve got purposes to fulfill and lives to touch. Get moving!”

Shared on October 19, 2023.

Yes, get moving and keep showing up. Someone somewhere is counting on you to continue walking in your purpose so that they can walk in theirs.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Keep Striving For Your Dreams

Here’s the Facebook memory that actually prompted my last post about Colin Powell (the hashtag).🥰

Don’t Lose Yourself

Shared as a Facebook story on October 17, 2021.

I know how it feels to lose yourself trying to hold on to others. Been there many times. And I’m not only talking about losing myself in love relationships. Of course, those are the ones most people noticeably lose themselves in. However, friendships, work relationships, and family relationships are others.

Check your relationships, all of them, and make sure you’re showing up fully as YOU, and not who others want you to be. You are too important to lose yourself to anyone other than yourself and God.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You Brighten The World

Good Morning!☀️

I’m pretty late today with my first post. Y’all, I actually slept the entire night. Something I seldom do. Believe me, I needed it. Feeling blessed and refreshed.😊


Here’s the post I was working on before I fell asleep.

You are a beautiful, radiant flower. Although one of many, your unique design makes you one of one. Keep showing up in your fullest glory. The world needs the light, love, joy, kindness, and peace you bring.🌸

Keep shining, and keep showing up!

I pray you have a wonderful day!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Present and Prayerful

Remain present and prayerful.

Remain Present—This very moment is all you really have.

Remain Prayerful—Stay connected with God. He’s your source for all things. Don’t ever let Him go.

Y’all, time never stops or slows down. Be sure to make the best of NOW. Also, keep that line of communication between you and God open. As I mentioned above, He’s your source for all things.

Correction… He is the Source.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You Will Make It

Facebook Memory: October 14, 2023

“Screaming—

YOU GOT THIS!!!

Don’t let anything or anyone stop you. You can do this. Push through the discomfort and uncertainty. You will make it to the other side of this.”

Continue pushing through discomforts, uncertainties, and distractions. You got this!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun
