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!♥️

No More Hiding God’s Greatness

Good Morning! When was the last time you publicly celebrated your achievements? Is it something you find easy to do? Asking because I have always found it difficult, until recently. Now, I celebrate even the smallest of successes.


I wish I could say that after I shared my post five years ago (see second screenshot below) that I began publicly acknowledging my achievements, but it didn’t. It took me years to finally become comfortable enough to share even a few. As you will read in my post below, I didn’t even tell anyone about my role as the president of our state’s dietetics association (2016-2017). When I tell you it felt like I was leading two separate lives. And to be honest, I guess I was. I didn’t know how to be Shaun and LaShaundrea. I believe I’ve written about this before. It took me years to find a happy medium between the two, which didn’t actually happen until Year50.

Anyhoo, today things are different. I am not hiding anymore and I am celebrating all my achievements. I mean, how can I fully represent God if I continue to downplay the magnitude of His greatness in my life? Y’all, He’s been too good to me. As I have said many times before, I am beyond blessed.🥰 ~Shaun

God’s Plan and Your Dreams

♥️

Feeling a bit off track? Feeling as if life has thrown you one too many curve balls and you’re tired of swinging? Are you asking if anything will ever work as you planned? I mean, God’s plan is the plan, right, but will the two ever align?

Guess what?!

You are right where you are meant to be… at this moment in time. However, it’s not where you are meant to stay. Be patient with the process, as well as with yourself. God’s plan and your dreams will eventually align. Everything will work out in your favor.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

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

Relax

Good Morning! Listen, those blessings you have been praying for are coming. And guess what? You won’t have to seek them out, they’ll find you. All you have to do is be open to receiving them. Speaking from experience.

Short story…

Moments ago, I was doing what I love doing—creating; and while creating, the thought came to mind that I am actually doing what I love doing. It’s funny that what I had been working so hard to achieve, and thought I was miserably failing at, I have already been doing. I just couldn’t see it because I was expecting something different. I now realize everything has been slowly coming to and happening for me. As I evolve and grow—allowing God to lead—the more blessings and opportunities are coming my way. Y’all, when I really reflect on my life, I haven’t had to seek out anything—blessings and opportunities have always found me.

When I tell you I love watching God work! I just love how He loves me!!🥰

Beyond Blessed♥️
