Ask God First

Be sure to consult with God before making your next big move. Moving without His permission could be detrimental. Maybe not physically, but spiritually, emotionally, mentally and/or financially.♥️ ~ Shaun

God has to be in it or it will never work.

Remember the Good Times

Remember how life used to be before it became so complexed and complicated.

When your smiles and laughter were purely genuine.

When your dreams and aspirations were just pieces of your imagination.

When sitting on the front porch people watching was your favorite pastime.

When the smell of fresh rain made you smile and thunderstorms put you to sleep.

Remember…

When love was free.

When no one had hidden agendas.

When a person’s word was their bond.

When sharing your life on social media was nonexistent.

Remember…

When life was so simple.

You know…

When you were free to BE.

Remember those times, places and spaces. They are reminders that life is so worth living.♥️

Keep those memories near and revisit them often.

Love you!

Keep God First

Keep God first. Not second. Not third. Not as a last resort. First!

Keep Him first in both good and bad times. Most importantly, honor Him just as strongly when you get what you prayed for as you did while you were praying. First!♥️ ~ Shaun

Keep God first and everything else will fall into place.

Time to Face Your Fears

Facebook Memory: October 6, 2022

The only way to overcome a fear is to face it head on. Avoiding it will not make it disappear.

Are there fears you’ve been reluctant to face?

It’s time!

Master your fears. Don’t let them master you. You’ve got this!♥️

Girl… This Message is For You!

You better live! Life isn’t slowing down or waiting for you to catch up. Stop putting everyone else first like they’re more important than you. Listen… and hear me good… No one is more important or more valuable than you are. No one! You’re not being selfish, self-centered or inconsiderate. Nah… You’re just recognizing your worth. Now it’s time you start living in it. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

Just reached another level of freedom. Talk about priceless…

Hello Year50!

This Process is Processing

Facebook Memory: October 4, 2022

Where you begin rarely looks like what you envisioned. Give yourself space, time and grace to grow. Don’t give up. You’ll get there!♥️

I’ll get there, eventually. Growing…

On another note, “Savior More Than Life,” by Kirk Franklin and The Family is still on repeat in my head. It’s been like this for days now. I can listen to music all day but once I turn it off, this song pops back up. Is my spirit on auto-worship mode and this is its worship song? Right now I am hearing that I just need to lean into God a little more as if a protection mode has been activated. Whew, Lord. I’m listening.

Well, this is how my day has started. As I stated above, growth is a process and I am still growing. Some days I have no idea if I am still in seed form or if my leaves are finally growing. When will my flowers begin budding? Sighing. Only time and life will tell. Until then, I guess I will lean into God a little more—get all comfy—and allow Him to love on me. Y’all have a wonderful day.

Love you!♥️

Stay Centered

Life is going to happen regardless. Staying centered means blocking outside and internal noises, and only focusing on yourself and God.

Yes, life is going to do what it does. Do not let it drag you with it.♥️ ~ Shaun

Breathe. Stay focused on all things good. Remember, God’s got you.

Want to be Happy? Be Happy

How many times have you said something like, “They make me happy,” “This is my happy space,” or “I am happiest when…”? I know throughout my lifetime I have said or thought it at least a million times. However, looking back, it wasn’t the people around me or the spaces I was in that made me happy, it was me choosing to be happy. I am not saying that my surroundings didn’t contribute to my happiness, but ultimately it was my decision to be happy that allowed me to experience it.

Y’all, I have been in some spaces where I should have felt my lowest, yet I was happy. I have also been in spaces where I should’ve been on cloud nine and was miserable. It took me years to realize I controlled my happiness. I am not saying that I am never sad or disappointed or heartbroken. What I am saying is, over time I decided happiness was a better choice, and I absolutely love being happy.

Facebook Memory: September 30, 2021.

Yes, I am creating my own happiness… but not today! Today, I’m going back to Starbucks to get my Caramel Apple Spice. I need the real thing. Lol. Starbucks, make me happy!

Praying you have an absolutely amazing day. Remember, you are in control of your happiness. Love you!♥️
