Here are two posts I shared previously on this day.

“Focus on the promise, not the process.”
Facebook Memory: June 22, 2019
Again, what has your focus—the promise or the process? I don’t know about you but the promise has my focus. The process is always going to do what it does. It’s called life. My advice is to stay focused on the promise.♥️
At this moment, I’m singing “Blessings (On Me)” by Theresa Phondo. The song says—
“Blessings on blessings on me. Blessings on blessings on me. Everywhere I go they’ll be—blessings on blessings on me. I can feel it.”
Yes, I can feel it!
Beyond Blessed🌺
And the countdown continues! THREE DAYS until Year52!🎉
Y’all, I am so grateful for life. I know I say this all the time, but I really don’t take my life for granted. I am so very grateful that I am still here and I’m healthy. I’m thankful for the love and kindness that surrounds me daily. I’m thankful for my babies, family, and friends. God, thank You for blessing me.
I pray that you have a beautiful self-love Saturday. Be sure to do something extra special for yourself, even if it’s just relaxing.♥️
“I just want to praise you forever and ever and ever. For all you’ve done, done for me. Blessings and glory and honor they all belong to you. Thank you Jesus for blessing me!”
That’s exactly what I feel—blessed. My theme for Year51 was “Beyond Blessed,” and this year has lived up to that theme. This is why I need to be mindful of the theme I set for Year52. Smile
Blessings and glory and honor all belong to God. I truly cannot express it enough, I am absolutely blessed—Beyond blessed!
FOUR more DAYS!!🎉
I’m enjoying my time with my baby girl. She always makes me feel so special. I just love being in her presence. You dote on your babies when they’re little ones, but I never imagined feeling the same about an adult child. Of course, it’s not exactly the same. I doubt if she even knows how I feel. She’s worried about making sure I enjoy my birthday weekend when all I want to do is spend time with her. I just love her.🥰
Anyhoo…
I pray that you have a fabulous day and beautiful weekend! May it be filled with lots of love, joy, peace, and laughter. You deserve it!♥️
During my adulthood, I have taken quite a few leaps of faith, some small and some life-changing. With each leap came challenges; however, all were so worth taking.
Six years ago, I mentioned that I took leaps while afraid. Well, baby, on this side of 50, nothing seems to frighten me—not sure if that’s a good or bad thing😅—I’m just out here going with the flow. I’m not sure what my next leap will be, but I do know that whatever it is, I’m doing it fearlessly because I know from years of experience that God will always be with me.♥️
As I mentioned six years ago, “Never underestimate the power of gratitude.” There is something about gratitude that brings peace. The kind of peace that surpasses all understanding. Yes, that God peace. (Philippians 4:7)
Besides God, who knows you better than YOU? The answer is “No one.” Always remember, you control the pen to your life’s story. As you evolve, your story evolves. Feel free to revise it as you grow—it’s YOUR story.
That’s all for now. I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with an abundance of love, joy, peace, and laughter. You deserve it!♥️
The final week of my birthday countdown is here! Seven days until Year52!
I smiled when I saw this Facebook memory. I remember how excited I was. I couldn’t wait to celebrate my 50th birthday, my jubilee year. Smiling because that was some year! Whew! Little did I know that my jubilee year would actually be my “tried in the fire” year. Soooo… did I come out of the fire as pure gold?
Hmmm… I’m still being refined.☺️
That year, I learned I needed to take better care of myself. I needed to put myself first to become a better, stronger version of my former self, especially if I wanted to live fifty more years. It was so necessary! I’m smiling because the pruning I went through had to be done. I needed to let go of so much of my former self to fully embrace the person I am today. Y’all, I like this version of myself better. This version of Shaun even breathes differently. As I said in the memory above, I am truly blessed.
I pray you have one of your best days yet! You deserve it!♥️
I love you,
Shaun
Deborah, if you’re reading this today, HAPPY 69TH BIRTHDAY!!! Thank you for your unwavering support, kindness, love, and prayers. May your day and year be filled with an abundance of love, joy, peace, and laughter.🌸💕🙏🏽
Thought I’d drop in and share one more Facebook memory before I fell asleep. I shared it on this day seven years ago and again last year.
Listen, you’ve been through a lot. More than many know. Just know that none of it was in vain. Prepare to receive a double dose of favor for all you endured.
I pray this next week brings you so much love and an abundance of blessings. May God’s light shine on and through you.♥️
As I said in 2019, God is always moving, and I’m moving with Him. Sometimes I wish I knew where He was taking me or what was ahead. Wouldn’t life flow smoother if I did? But then, sometimes I say, “God, surprise me!”
Today, I’m at the point where I am sitting back and watching Him work. Wherever He takes me, He takes me. Whatever lies ahead will be. No matter what, I am certain that wherever I land, He will be with me, He’ll never leave me, and everything will work out in my favor because He loves me.
