Forty-Nine Years Of Friendship And Love

💗Shaun and Shawn💗

My first besties (besides my sister).

My sister-friend.

My family.


Shawn and I have been friends since we were toddlers, almost five decades! She exemplifies the unconditional love and harmony I desire to see in the world. Y’all, Shawn is love.

Last night, we spent a few hours together. We hadn’t seen each other in almost two years, but it felt like we’d never been apart. I am so grateful and blessed that God placed us together.

Forever Shaun and Shawn.♥️♥️


**Here’s a small glimpse of God’s awesomeness in our relationship.

As you can see, we share the same first name. I was born in Mississippi. She was born in Chicago. Our mothers were never friends. We met through our grandparents. Here’s where the awesomeness comes in. Shawn was born between my sister and me—four months after me and almost a year before my sister. Well…guess what?! They share the same middle name. Shawn’s is Evette and my sister’s is Yvette. Again, our moms weren’t friends and didn’t even live in the same city. Y’all, we were destined to be together—a divine connection.☺️

I can’t say it enough, I love the way God loves me. I am truly blessed!🥰

Struggle–Free Blessings

Last year I wrote—

“Walking into blessings without the struggles. I refuse to accept that struggles are a prerequisite for blessings. Nope. Not today!”

As last year, I refuse to accept that I will always struggle before receiving blessings. Not buying it! NOT AT ALL!♥️

Side Note: Be obedient! If you’re hearing that still small voice saying “be obedient”—Do it! You don’t have to know why. Just be obedient.

We Are LOVE

Good Morning☀️

Although today’s the last day of Love Month, it’s not the last day to love and be loved. Love is an everyday occurrence. We wake up and fall asleep to love. It’s in our hearts and souls. Its warmth and joy radiate from us daily. It’s who we are.

We are LOVE.♥️

I love you to the moon, stars, and other galaxies and back!

Shaun

Always love and give unconditionally.

It Gets Better

Here’s a screenshot of a post Lewis Howes shared on this day a year ago. The message—It gets better. Life gets better. One day you’ll find the joy and peace you’ve always longed for.♥️

I love you much,

Shaun

Our Obedience To God Matters

Good Morning☀️

In 2023, I shared, “Your obedience to God unlocks doors.” Although this is true, I believe our obedience should be more important than any blessing we may receive. It’s our obedience that strengthens our relationship with God. It shows Him that we not only love Him, but we trust Him despite what He can do or give.

Today, my advice is to focus on building a relationship with God. It’s more important than the blessings and unlocked doors. Both will come in due time.

Wishing you a beautifully, blessed day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Let God Lead

As I was scrolling through my Facebook memories, I saw a post from ten years ago that prompted me to see what I had written in my journal on February 26, 2015. Here’s how my entry began—

February 26, 2015, Shaun’s Journal Entry

“Lord please help me allow you to lead. Help me let you have total control over my life. I must admit giving up control is scary, but at this moment- tired, broke, and confused, I have no other choice.

Letting go and letting God! Lord please guide my footsteps today.”

I also wrote that I was listening to “Something About the Name Jesus.” Smiling. Smiling because I’m not where I used to be. Smiling because I made it through, and I definitely couldn’t have done it without reverencing Jesus. I’m truly blessed.

Allow God to guide your footsteps. He won’t lead you wrong.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

Never Give Up On Your Dreams

Good Morning☀️

Never give up on your dreams!

One good thing about social media is being able to witness God’s greatness through testimonies of growth, success, and manifested dreams. It’s the testimonies of others overcoming obstacles and hardships to finally succeeding and excelling that keep me believing. If God can do it for them, He most certainly can do it for me because I know He loves me. So, I cannot and will not give up on my dreams.

And YOU cannot afford to give up on yours, either. No matter how long it takes, never, ever give up on your dreams!♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

With God ALL things are possible.

Cherish Your Time With Loved Ones

This memory is so fitting for how I have been feeling the last few days—from what would’ve been my mom’s 67th birthday this past Friday to my daughter leaving today—I must be intentional about cherishing the time I spend with those I love.

Be sure to do the same.

Love you!♥️

Shaun
