My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
While reading one of my fellow bloggers’ posts—Wynne Leon (Surprised by Joy)—I saw this quote and it spoke to my soul. If you know me, just about everything speaks to my heart, soul, and/or spirit. Smile. Well, I felt this one. For me, it captures the way I feel about peace, joy, love, and freedom. Once you’ve tasted them, you’ll forever want more. It’s where I am in life, today; and I am so loving this space.♥️

When I tell you God just checked me! Laughing. I heard to do something, something that made me somewhat uncomfortable. Basically, it was out of the norm. Well, as I often do when God asks me to do something that shakes my comfort level, I started second guessing if I heard correctly. Then, I wanted to know the outcome. “What would happen if I did it?” “What would happen if I didn’t?” Also, “Why?” Why did I need to do it? That’s when I was hit with the, “Because I said so.” HA!!
Me: “Okay, I hear You, God.” DONE!
Listen, if you consider yourself a vessel of God and claim He can use you as He pleases, get ready to have uncomfortable moments. From my experience, the moments are never detrimental, they’re just uncomfortable. You can do it. My advice, release control—yes, it’s a control thing—and be obedient. God knows the outcome, and He’s the only one who needs to know.♥️
Love you,

Good Morning! God is working. He’s moving. Make sure you’re working and moving with Him. Keep going until you see what He said. Then, await further instructions.
That’s the message!♥️
Love you,

Good Morning! Today’s post is a copy of the “Hello Sunday” post I shared three years ago. When I tell you it’s such a timely and reassuring reminder that God chose us before we even knew we existed. He chose and crafted us to fit perfectly into His plan to fulfill His, not necessarily our own, purpose. The reason I say “not necessarily” is because we will always feel out of place or like we don’t quite fit when our purposes don’t align with God’s. Our hearts, minds, and souls will never be at peace or truly content until they begin flowing in the direction they were created to. I’m learning more and more not to resist the flow, but to resist the urge to change who I am to fit in, to stand in who I am. And I must say, the experience has been wonderful! No more anxiety. No more second guessing my worth. I’m just here being who God created me to be. Smiling
So, here’s what I shared in 2021. I hope it blesses you as much as it has blessed me. Always remember who you are (handcrafted and chosen by God) and Whose you are (God’s child, royalty). Love you!♥️ ~Shaun
Hello Sunday: September 19, 2021
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”Jeremiah 1:5
That scripture came from my morning reading. This next part was amongst my Facebook memories from September 19, 2018.
Quote – “God is calling you, equipping you, [and] preparing you according to His purpose.”
And this was my caption in response to the quote:
“I’m so thankful God chose me to fulfill His purpose. Despite my quirkiness, He chose me to carry out this part of His mission. So grateful He loves me as I am. There’s NO love like God’s love!”
Based on everything written above, sounds like God has a lot of work for me to do. The humbling part is, I do not have to change who I am to fulfill His purpose. As the scripture above suggests, God already knew what kind of person I would be even before I was conceived. He knew I would see and do things slightly different from others. He knew that no matter how hard I would try, I would never fit anyone’s mold. “. . . before you were born I set you apart.” Whew!
Y’all, I needed this reassurance. Sometimes I do not feel like I belong in certain spaces, but for some odd reason God keeps placing me in them. From here on, whenever I feel unqualified I must remember – God chose ME!
Same for you. If you ever find yourself in spaces that you feel unqualified to be in, just remember – God chose YOU! You are the ONLY one qualified to fulfill that specific part of His purpose. Yessss, YOU!!!
Listen, always remember who you are and Whose you are, and everything will work out just fine. Enjoy your week!
Facebook Memory: September 17, 2022
Keep moving. You’ve come too far to give up on your dreams, goals and purpose. Just because you can’t see or feel God working, doesn’t mean He isn’t. Imagine if you were to quit today and tomorrow everything was set to fall in place. Again– Keep moving!♥️
Honestly, most of the time I feel like the “Little Engine That Could”. Like I’m living on this steep hill, and although I’m moving forward, it’s a struggle and barely noticeable. One stall and I might slip. Then, I’ll have to start all over. So, I never truly stop. Nope, I keep moving. An inch here and several there, but I never stop moving. It’s little reminders like this (the gems I’ve left myself over the years) that have kept me going.
I’m not going to quit. God’s brought me too far to stop now.
I pray you’re moving in the direction of your goals and dreams, even if you’re not moving fast. Remember, God’s timing is everything. Just keep moving! Things will happen right on time.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
This particular Facebook memory from a year ago marked the beginning of something new. I was finally fully releasing the old—everything on the other side of 50—and welcoming the new. It was my Jubilee year and I was adamant about things on this side of 50 being different, being new.
Facebook Memory: September 17, 2023
I believe! Do you?!🌟
I love watching God work. He’s so amazing!♥️
As I mentioned, it was my Jubilee (50th) year. Not only did I want things to be different and new, I needed them to be. I had lost my mom a little over a month before my birthday (she passed that May, a few days before Mother’s Day), and life was kind of weird. That’s the only way I can explain it. Not only was I celebrating my 50th birthday year, but I was also mourning the loss of my mom while attempting to celebrate life. What a time that was! I tried to make it as exciting as I could. However, as I said throughout that year, it wasn’t the year I had imagined or expected, but it was definitely the year I needed. Yeah… I needed it. I can’t say it enough, I’m beyond blessed.🙏🏽
Well, that’s all I have for now. Wishing you an amazing day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Happy Sunday! I pray your weekend has been great and today is just as wonderful.
So, here’s today’s Facebook memory. I screenshot it to capture the hashtags. The one that stood out most was “It’s Soul Deep.”
“Genuine happiness is when your soul is at peace—it’s soul deep.” I felt that.
As you can see, I was heavy with the hashtags. Smile. Which one resonated with you?
Well, that’s all for now. Again, have a wonderful day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Smile. God is writing you a new beginning. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun
It’s hot, humid, and rain’s in the forecast, but I’m here. It’s after 10:00 AM on a Thursday morning and I’m living my dream—doing things on my term. No one to answer to but myself. Don’t know what took me so long.
Forever grateful.🙏🏽
Beyond Blessed♥️

It’s Shaun’s World
