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,

God First

Good Morning!☀️

The year before I shared the graphic above, I wrote the following caption for another post.

October 10, 2021

“This post is so true. What I’ve learned in the short time that I’ve been working for myself is to keep going. Keep trying new things. Keep networking. Keep learning. Keep taking leaps. And most importantly – KEEP GOD FIRST! Y’all, the ways He’s shown up is mind blowing. Tearing up as I think about it. He’s so good. Yes, definitely keep Him first!”


Keeping God first has been the only way I’ve managed to make it through the tough times (it can get pretty tough) and the good times (remaining humble). Y’all, His guidance is impeccable! You don’t want to move without it. However, it does require unwavering trust and obedience. Don’t worry, He’ll give you assignments along the way to build and strengthen both. Smile

Today, my advice is still the same. First, and most importantly, always keep God first! Y’all, He must remain first. Then, continue learning, creating, networking, and leaping. Eventually, everything will fall into place.♥️

Love you,

Check Your Heart

♥️

Where’s your heart these days?

Where your heart is, matters. It guides your decisions and actions, whether consciously or subconsciously. Be sure to check your heart posture, and check it often.

Is it sad?

Is it mad?

Is it broken?

Is it hurt?

Is it disappointed?

Is it bitter?

Is it jealous?

Is it resentful?

Is it hateful?

Is it closed?

Or…

Is it joyful?

Is it happy?

Is it hopeful?

Is it excited?

Is it peaceful?

Is it grateful?

Is it trusting?

Is it loving?

Is it kind?

Is it empathetic?

Is it compassionate?

Is it open?

It’s important to know where your heart’s at to ensure you’re moving towards a brighter, healthier, and happier future.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Good Morning!☀️

Not only is today a new day, but it’s the beginning of a new month. Meaning, it’s the perfect time to start afresh and refreshed. Remember, yesterday is gone. You can only move forward from here.

Praying you have a wonderful day and a beautifully, blessed month. May God bless everything you touch and set out to do.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Happy Sunday! I pray your weekend is going well. Mine has been pretty great so far. I can’t complain.☺️


Today’s Hello Sunday is a reminder that the person people see you as today has been years in the making, even decades. Meaning, you did not become who you are overnight. It’s also a reminder to be gentle, kind, and patient with yourself as God continues—because the process is never ending—to shape and mold you into the person you know you’re meant to be. Remember, who you are today is only a glimpse of who you’re becoming. Smile♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Forever Looking Up

Life is beautiful. Forever looking up. It’s the only way to look!

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.♥️

According To God’s Plans

Good Morning! Have you ever been frustrated, disappointed, down, or even hurt because things in life just haven’t gone as planned? Well, according to your plans.

If so…

Let It Go!

Release every expectation you had for your plan because God has something better in store.

Here’s a quote from the late Bruce Van Horn along with the post I shared six years ago.

I shared this a couple of weeks after I had basically given up on my plans of finding a new home. After losing my house (due to divorce), I had promised my kids that the place we had moved into was only temporary. Well, eventually our “temporary” home began to look more like a long term stay.

After three years of searching for a place and things not working out, one day everything just fell into place. I found a house, secured the lease, and moved in the day before my son’s birthday.

You see, the year before, I had promised my son we’d be in a new place before his next birthday (no lie). So, I was really trying to make good on my promise. Well, by the time September of the following year rolled around, I still hadn’t found a place. Talk about being frustrated and disappointed. Then, one day I just let it go. I was tired. And that’s when it all happened. What I hadn’t been able to do in three years, God did in less than three weeks. To this day, it still amazes me how things happened. As I mentioned, we moved in the day before my son’s birthday.

Y’all, that’s only one of many examples of things happening according to God’s plan. As Bruce Van Horn put in his message from God, trust God’s love for you. Never doubt that He’s got you, completely!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
