Forgiveness

Good Morning! Are you still holding on to past hurts or disappointments? You say you’ve forgiven everyone who has hurt you, but have you? It’s one thing to say you forgive them with your mouth and another to mean it with your heart. Speaking from experience.

Short story (making it very short)…

For years I had said I’d forgiven my daughter’s father for the lies, abandonment, and heartbreak he caused me. However, in reality, I had only packed the hurt away and covered it with things that looked and felt good—one of them was my marriage. Well, sixteen years after I ended things with my daughter’s father (close to nine years into my marriage), we briefly reconnected. Nothing romantic. He reached out to connect with my daughter. He also apologized for the things he did and put me through while we were together (and afterwards).

Well, after he finished his spill, I told him I forgave him. Y’all, when I tell you I felt like the shackles had been released! I said I forgave him and actually meant it. It wasn’t all talk. Unfortunately and fortunately, that act of forgiveness opened my eyes to decisions and choices I had made while I was hurt. Which meant I had to clean up a few messes, beginning with letting my ex go (details about my decision can be found in past posts).

Listen.

Forgive.

Forgive with your whole heart.

I know it’s easier said than done.

Ask God for help—He’s got you!

True forgiveness sets great things in motion.

Try it!


Well, that’s all for now. Thanks for reading. I pray you have a wonderful day and an amazing week!♥️

Love you,

You’re Becoming That Person

Good Morning! Not sure if you realize this but every day you’re changing. You’re not the same person you were a decade ago, a year, not even a month ago. No, you are evolving and growing. You’re becoming that person God created you to be. So, whenever you feel like life is at a standstill or isn’t going as planned, remember where you used to be compared to where you are now. You’re so much stronger and wiser, and it’s beautiful.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Restoration

Singing, “Restoration has finally come. I’ve been restored back to my place in God.”

Been singing the Winans’ song, “Restoration,” off and on since I woke up this morning. Y’all, God is in the process of restoring everything we lost and adding more. How wonderful is that!

Praying you have a blessed and peaceful night.♥️

Good Night,

Shaun

Created To Magnify God’s Glory

We were created to magnify God’s glory. Meaning others should see, hear, and feel Him through our words and actions.♥️

Side Note: Can’t you hear the gospel duo, Mary, Mary, singing, “God In Me”? Well, I can. Smile

I hope this past weekend left you well rested and ready to tackle this week. Please remember to take breaks when needed. Listen, there’s only ONE you, and you matter more than whatever you are working on. Love you!♥️

Your Future Is Now

Good Morning!

Your future is now. Last year I wrote the following—

Facebook Memory: September 2, 2023

“Your future is waiting for you to…

Love yourself unconditionally.

Embrace the love that’s flowing your way.

Tune out the noise of unworthiness.

Let go of things that no longer serve you.

Never forget that you are God’s child and deserve His absolute best.♥️”

What a difference a year makes.

That was a year ago. Where are you now? Is your future still waiting for you to achieve everything you set out to, or are you there?


If you have today off, please enjoy it. If you have to work, I pray your day is stress-free, enjoyable, and goes by quickly.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Remove The Limits

Good Morning! Today’s message is quite simple. Desire more — remove the limits. Remove the limits so God can work freely. Yes… Allow Him to do what He does.

“It’s time to take those limits off so that you can finally soar.♥️🦋” – Facebook Memory (August 31, 2023)

Praying you have a wonderful weekend!♥️

Love you,

Let It Flow Freely

Today is turning out to be one of those days where I am just going with the flow. There’s no rush to do anything. No set schedule. I’m just letting life flow. I’m allowing both goodness and love to flow freely through me, as well as surround me.♥️ ~Shaun

It’s self-love Saturday. Loving me.
