Yesterday, I could not decide which Facebook memory to share so I didn’t share one. Well, instead of sharing my “Hello Sunday” on my social media accounts, I decided to share this memory. It’s a day later, but worth sharing.
Facebook Memory: January 21, 2023
Much too often we remember hurts and disappointments before we remember the good. Today, I encourage you to focus on the good times. The moments that made you smile and feel loved. Have a wonderful day.♥️
Always hold your good memories close and dear.
Praying you have a blessed day and joyful week. May God shower you with unexpected blessings.♥️
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18
Been hearing this all day so I decided to share it.
When searching for the quote, “Only what you do for Christ will last,” multiple scriptures popped up along with lyrics from several songs. The scripture I used above appeared to be most commonly cited with the quote.
From what I gather from both—the scripture and the quote—what is seen, or done solely for others to see, is temporary. However, what is done from the heart—often in private—with pure intentions (like Christ), will last forever.
I pray that whatever I do pleases God and lasts forever. Amen
That thing you keep pursuing but just cannotseem to achieve.
That thing that has been nagging you for years, even decades, that your soul can’t seem to let be.
You know, that thing you were so close to achieving then something happened that threw everything off track…
Yeah… that thing.
Well, today, we are celebrating our (gotta include myself) wins in advance.
From here on, see yourself walking in everything you set out to achieve. Feel yourself in it! Yes, you had a few setbacks, but now you are finally there and pursuing other dreams. Pat yourself on the back because you did not give up. Nope. You were resilient. You hung in there and kept going. Now, you are there. YOU DID IT!♥️
This Facebook memory is very short but so important to remember—You are loved. Even when you don’t feel it, know that you are loved. There are so many people who truly love you. Not for what you have, or what you can do or give. No, they love you for being YOU.
Facebook Memory: January 19, 2023
Never ever doubt that YOU are loved.♥️
And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, not even your own thoughts.
My mom used to end every call with “I love you.” One day, one of my younger sisters asked me why. She thought it was something we (me, my mom, and my sister right below me) did out of habit. However, that was not and is not the case. My mom started it when my sister and I were little girls. She said that we should never leave each other without saying “I love you” because we never knew if that would be our last time saying it. So when we say it, we actually mean it. It is something I also do with my children. We never leave each other or end calls without saying “I love you.” Now that my mom is gone, my younger siblings say it too.
So, when I end my posts with some variation of “I love you,” including the hearts, know that I am not just saying it out of habit. No, I truly mean it.
Listen, I love you and I don’t even know you. I love you because God loves you. I love you because you deserve love. I love you because you matter. I love you because I want what’s best for you. I love you because I want you to thrive. I love who you are now and who you are becoming. I love you just for being YOU. Not sure if you heard me but I LOVE YOU!❤️
Sending you soooo much love. Wishing you nothing but peace and joy.
God is still in control. Trust Him to lead, even when you know think you can do things faster or better. Believe me you can’t. What I have learned from experience, and I am still learning, my interference never helps the situation. It just prolongs it. My advice (and you best believe this is a word for me too) step back, stand still, and watch God work.
Praying you have a wonderfully, blessed day. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun
I can hear Whitney Houston singing, “I Look To You.” Look to God. He holds the answers.
Because of God, I already have it all. It’s just a matter of time before everything is revealed. In God’s time.
Same for you. You already have it all. Just be patient, keep working towards your dreams and goals, and continue allowing God to lead. You will see it, hold it, and experience it all. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun
Two years ago, I shared a “Hello Sunday” blog about manifestation. It was based on film director, Matthew Cherry, winning his first Oscar. Eight years before he won it, or was even well known, he tweeted, “I’m gonna be nominated for an Oscar one day. Already claiming it.” And he was nominated and won!
Last night, I watched a once “YouTuber,” Quinta Brunson, win her first Emmy award for best comedic actress. I was so happy for her! She didn’t say it, but I am pretty sure the thought of “what if” crossed her mind at some point. Watching her evolve into the person she was always meant to become has been wonderful to witness. I remember watching her YouTube videos. Loved the “He got money!” videos. She kept me laughing. Watching her on Abbott Elementary has been a joy as well.
Side note: For those who know me, know I love watching God work! Y’all, it makes my heart smile. The journey and evolution is everything.
Anyhoo… Trying not to get sidetracked.
In the “Hello Sunday” below, I wrote about some of my own moments. Yesterday, or the day before, I wrote about not taking any leaps in a while. Well, as I wrote in 2022, I believe I am already living in what I manifested. Not completely living in it, but living in the journey of becoming and achieving everything I dreamed and imagined as a kid. Perhaps my manifestation is not a destination but living within my experiences.
I wrote about writing in my journal how I wished I could live far away. Then, within six months, I had joined the Air Force and was living in Germany. I also gave a few more examples; however, those weren’t all, there are plenty more! As I said, I believe my manifestations are played out in my journey. I love the details of the smaller manifestations. The things that cross my mind then just happen. The small things that make me smile. Don’t get me wrong, I have greater ambitions and so many more big dreams waiting to come to fruition; however, I am choosing to live in every experience now.
Here is what I have learned about manifestations:
1) You will never see it coming until you are in it. It’s all about God’s timing, not ours.
2) Nothing ever happens as we imagined or dreamed. It’s always better.
Remember, God is always working. Do not give up on your dreams, and enjoy the journey along the way. Be careful not to miss out on the small experiences. They are leading you to the bigger ones. Love you!♥️ ~ Shaun
Today, in the United States, we are celebrating the life and legacy of the late, great civil rights activist, leader, and minister, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. When I think of Dr. King, I think of timing and purpose. He was placed in the right place at the right time to fulfill a purpose that only he could fulfill.
Let that soak in…
Dr. King was placed in the rightplace at the right time to fulfill a purpose that onlyHE could fulfill. Talk about the true definition of one of one.
Y’all, God is so strategic about His purpose and plan. Everything that happens is designed to perfectly align with God’s purpose and plan; and our role in it all is so strategic. Listen, we matter. Yes…we matter! YOU matter! We are not just here to take up space. No…WE are here to fulfill a specific purpose during this time.
Please hear me! WE are alive during this particular time to fulfill a purpose that only we can fulfill. WE are the Dr. Kings of our time.♥️
We do not have to see the entire picture before we start. All we have to do is take the first step and God will guide us through the rest.
It’s Shaun’s World
