Believe Me, He’s Real

Good Morning!☀️

This morning I woke up singing Kirk Franklin’s “Let Me Touch You.” The song says—

Sometimes to me You seem so far away, and I wonder how to make it through the day. But if I can touch the hem of Your garment, Your power, I know, You can heal. Jesus let me touch You and see if You are real.

Let Me Touch You by Kirk Franklin


Listen, Jesus [God] is so very real, and He’s always near. When you don’t feel Him, just call His name. Never hesitate to call Him.

As you can see, my day has started off with worship. I pray that you’ve experienced God’s goodness as I have. No, life hasn’t been all roses. Sometimes it’s been very hard, so hard that at times I didn’t know if I would make it. But God never left my side. Y’all, I’m so blessed—so very blessed.

This is all for now. Wishing you a wonderful day! May you experience God’s goodness in real time. Yeah… I want you to feel it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Praise God In Advance

Good Morning!☀️

I’m still singing Marvin Sapp’s “Praise Him In Advance.” I guess it’s the song of the week. Smile. The song says—

That’s why I praise Him with my hands. That’s why I praise Him with a dance. He’s given me a second chance. Come on, let’s praise Him in advance.

This morning I’m thanking God for a hundred second chances. Yes, a hundred—plus some. There are some things God has been working with me on for years and now I’m finally getting around to doing them. He’s given me so many chances to get things right.

Honestly, I believe I needed all of those chances because each time I didn’t follow through with whatever I was supposed to do, I learned something new about myself. I also gained more knowledge about what was asked of me, and God gave me room (grace) to improve. I am so loving this over 50 version of Shaun/LaShaundrea.🥰

Listen, no matter how many times you have to start over, know that every restart is an expression of God’s grace allowing you the opportunity to do better and become a better version of YOU.

I pray you have a lovely day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

One More Day, One More Step

Good Morning☀️

This morning I’m singing Smokie Norful’s song “I Understand.” The song says—

And then He said
One more day, one more step
I’m preparing you for myself
When you can’t hear My voice
Please trust my plan
I’m the Lord, I see and yes I understand

Y’all, God is so good! I know I shared a lot yesterday. I haven’t revisited what I wrote, so I really don’t quite remember all that I actually shared. Just know that I had to get it out. It was time.

A couple of weeks ago, I began watching a new podcast by Pat Smith called “Pursuing You.” Pat is also in her 50s and so much of her story has resonated with me—life after divorce, grief from losing a sibling and parent, having adult children, unchecked shame from making unfavorable decisions, and the list goes on. Y’all, I didn’t know how much I needed this podcast—yes, needed! In two episodes, she has mentioned things that I have experienced over the past several years that I had no words for. You know how you know you’re feeling something but you just can’t quite explain it? Well, after Pat began sharing her experiences, especially those of isolation, grief, and shame, I realized I wasn’t alone. Then, yesterday, when I saw the clip of Hayden Panettiere sharing her experience of abuse, I just had to release what I could never quite share. I had to release the shame and the blame I had been carrying for years, and I had to release it then! If I hadn’t, I would have kept it buried.


Whew!! My life…

Y’all, I don’t know what kind of journey God has me on now. However, I’m here for whatever He’s doing because I know He’s preparing me for wherever He’s taking me. I truly trust Him and His plan.

I believe this is enough rambling for now. Thank you for allowing me to share. I pray you have a beautifully blessed day.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday (286)

Good Morning! And Happy Sunday to you!☀️ I pray your weekend has been wonderful thus far.

This morning I’m singing Marvin Sapp’s “Praise Him In Advance.” The song says—

That’s why I praise Him with my hands
That’s why I praise Him with a dance
He’s given me a second chance
Come on, let’s praise Him in advance

That’s why I praise Him with a song
When things are right and when things go wrong
He’s given me a second chance
Come on, let’s praise Him in advance

Lyrics: Musixmatch


Praise Him In Advance by Marvin Sapp


Keep the praises going! Listen, God’s got you.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Congratulations, DA!

We are so proud of you! Despite challenges and setbacks, you did not give up, but you kept going. You saw things through. So, today, we celebrate YOU…WE CELEBRATE YOU

Today’s post is dedicated to one of the BEST sisters a sister could ask for—our “knee baby”—Shartese, a.k.a, DA.

TODAY, Shartese is graduating with her Bachelor of Science degree in Health Management. Her hard work, sacrifices, and perseverance have paid off! Now, all of Momma’s girls have bachelor’s degrees, which is something Momma wanted for all of her girls, because it took her most of her lifetime to get hers. I know she’s looking down and smiling so hard that her cheeks are hurting.🥰

Congratulations, DA!!! You did it!!!!✨🎉🎓

My heart is full

Shaun♥️

Celebrating Year 53: One Month In

Stay present. God is taking you somewhere no other can take you—a place where He knows you’ll thrive.

You Will Thrive

This morning I’m thanking God for blessing me to see yet another day. For blessing me with a loving family and two amazing adult babies—my hearts.

This morning I’m thanking God for allowing me to BE—to be ME. Feeling exceptionally free!

Y’all, God is so good. I just love the way He loves me.

My quote for today and the next month ahead is one by Maya Angelou. It’s so aligned with what I’m feeling this morning—

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive.” –Maya Angelou

Thriving is the goal. I’ve survived long enough.


I pray you have a wonderful Friday and a beautiful weekend. May both be as lovely as you!♥️

I love you,

Shaun
