Last year I shared, “Love and give freely.” When you love and give from your heart—without zero expectations in return—life becomes more beautiful.♥️ ~Shaun

Blessings Without The Struggle
Today’s blog is a short excerpt from my journal entry written on February 28, 2021. At the time, I happened to be listening to Bishop T.D. Jakes’ Sunday morning message, “Give Us An Awakening.” Here’s what I wrote:
Shaun, the gate is going to be open when you get there. You won’t have to push it open, it will just be open.
Listen, I am at a point where I refuse to accept that there will always be some sort of struggle before a blessing is received. I refuse to accept it as truth. There just has to be a time when we walk straight into our blessing(s). No struggle. No pain. Only bliss. And not in the afterlife.
So, today, instead of speaking in future tense, I am speaking as if it is so.
Shaun, you are at the gate. It’s open. Walk through.
Simple.
Walking through.♥️
Take Care,
Shaun
Trust God, He’s Working
Earlier today, James Fortune’s song, “I Trust You,” came to mind when I shared my earlier post, Obedience, on Instagram, so I attached the song to my story and reel. Here are the lyrics.
I Trust You by James Fortune
Lyrics: Genuis.com
Even though I can’t see
And I can’t feel your touch
I will trust you lord
How I love you so much
Though my nights may seem long
And I feel so alone
Lord my trust is in you
I surrender to you
So many painful thoughts
Travel through my mind
And I wonder how
I will make it through this time
But I trust you
Lord it’s not easy
Sometimes the pain in my life
Makes you seem far away
But I’ll trust you
I need to know you’re here
Through the tears and the pain
Through the heartache and rain
I’ll trust you
(James Fortune)
Oh God I trust You
Sometimes it’s so hard because
Everything that I see
Tells me not to believe
Everything that I see
Tells me not to believe
But i’ll trust you lord
You have never failed me
My past still controls me
Will this hurt ever leave’
I can only trust you
No one else like you do
So many painful thoughts
Travel through my mind
And I wonder how
I will make it through this time
But I trust you
Lord it’s not easy
Sometimes the pain in my life
Makes you seem far away
But I’ll trust you
I need to know, you’re here
Through the tears and the pain
Through the heartache and rain …
I can
I will
I must
Trust you
To me, the lyrics only convey part of the message. It’s James Fortune’s intro and spoken words throughout the song that carries the true message.
Be Blessed♥️

Obedience
Facebook Memory: February 27, 2023
Your obedience to God unlocks doors. Be obedient.♥️
As much as we would love to step out on our own, let’s not do so. Let’s remain obedient to God. He holds the keys that will unlock miracles and blessings.
Wishing you peace, love and blessings!♥️

Be You
“Your authenticity is beautiful. Just be you!♥️” – Moi
Here’s the caption from February 26, 2023:
There’s nothing like being in spaces where you can be your authentic self. Where you are celebrated, not tolerated. Make sure you seek out these spaces and circles. They are where you’ll thrive, not just survive. I love y’all!♥️
I don’t know about you but my goal is to thrive. Those days of only surviving are gone.
Be Blessed♥️

Trusting God’s Plan
Here is an excerpt from last year’s Hello Sunday, which was written on this date.
Hello Sunday: February 26, 2023
Ultimately, God is in control and His plans reign supreme. I trust Him, completely.
Here are a few other things I have learned over this short period of time:
- Life is going to happen. I can try to manage it but I cannot control it.
- Suppressing my feelings only delays progress. In order to truly move forward, I have to feel and be honest about my feelings.
- Not to panic when things are not going according to my plan. It only means that God has something different in mind or He’s working a few things out.
Today, God is still in control, and I do trust His plans—whatever they may be (tired of trying to figure them out). Honestly, I am beginning to believe not knowing what God is doing is best. Yep, I’d rather not rack my brain trying to figure things out because I have 1) discovered it’s only a waste of time, 2) it’s a waste of emotional and mental energy, and 3) I can never predict what will happen (plot twists on 10!). So, yes, I’m going to leave my life in God’s hands and allow Him to do His job. I know whatever He has planned will ultimately be in my favor (because He loves me), better than I imagined (again, because He loves me), and all for His glory and purpose. Yes, it’s all about Him.
Praying you have a lovely day and wonderful week. Love you!♥️
