My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
In the words of Smokie Norful—
The noise of my day
The depression that steals my voice
The confusion that arrests my life
So I can’t even make a choice
Life seems so loud
I’ve been too proud
So Lord, what do I do?
I just need a word from You …
Drown out the noise
Let me hear Your voice
Oh Lord, I know need a word from You
Song: I Need a Word

Now is not the time to lose faith. Everything you prayed for is happening. You may not see it yet, but it is happening. So, stand still and stand strong. God is working.♥️ ~Shaun
What may seem like the ending is actually the beginning. Prepare to fly.♥️ ~Shaun

I’m learning more and more not to become discouraged when things don’t work out as I thought they would. Either things do not happen because 1) it’s not time, 2) it’s for our protection, or 3) it just isn’t meant to be. No matter the reasons, God always has something better planned. Always
Unfortunately, my uncle did not win the election. There were a few hiccups (ran out of ballots at several precincts) in one of the major counties. Yes, voter suppression at its finest. Anyhoo… In my opinion, my uncle did very well. With 94% of the votes in, he received nearly 42% of the votes (over 300K votes). To me that’s pretty awesome. To go from no one knowing your name six months ago to having over 300 thousand votes is good.
Well y’all, my Year50 continues. It was nice to experience politics from a different point of view. I have absolutely no idea what other adventures are in store for the next seven months. I will say that so far things have been much different from the first 50 years. Not in a bad way, just different and interesting. The way I view life is so different from before. I’m much calmer now, and expecting the unexpected is becoming the norm. Yeah… nothing really surprises me anymore. People are going to people and life is going to continue doing what it does. No need to stress about it, right?
Anyway…
Thanking God for peace, grace and exceptional love. I am truly blessed.
Good Night!♥️

Facebook Memory: November 6, 2016
I love my life. Someone on Twitter asked, “If you could change one thing about your childhood, what would it be?” I thought and thought. For years I wished that things were different. I wished that we had more. That I was loved more. That I didn’t have to go through so many things that could have caused me to lose my mind. But I responded with, “I wouldn’t change a thing.” Everything I’ve gone through has shaped and molded me into the person I am today. I’m able to help others because of what I’ve been through. I believe that’s what God wants us to do. Our past negative experiences aren’t for us to wallow in and complain about. They’re there to inspire others. While we’re going through difficulties we usually can’t see a way out.
If you’re still breathing, it means you’ve made it! You may not be where you want to be, but you’re here!!
I know this is long. I’m used to journaling. I just wanted to share my thoughts. I woke up this morning thinking about all of the turmoil around us. Like everything else, we’ll make it through this. My great great grandma, Madear, was not a “saint.” I can probably count on one hand how many times she actually went to church. However, one thing she did every morning, as soon as she got out of bed, was say a prayer and read Psalms 23. She did this EVERY morning. Whenever I’m going through something I always remember Psalms 23. Like I said, she wasn’t a “saint,” but she instilled in me the value of ALWAYS putting God first no matter what. I miss her so much. I thank God for placing her in my life.
That’s all. Be blessed!🙏🏾❤️
That was written seven years ago. Today, my answer is still the same, I wouldn’t change a thing. Yesterday I came across a short segment of a discussion between Jay Shetty and Tony Robbins (Escape Your Misery). Although it was only eleven minutes long, the message was so powerful. It was about the choices we make after experiencing difficulties. Either we allow them to take us further down or we allow them to propel us forward. Over my lifetime, I have always attempted the latter. Maybe not like Tony, but I have and I plan to continue doing so.
Looking back—everything I went through made me the woman I am today; and everything I am currently going through is shaping the woman I am to become tomorrow. Taking no experience for granted. Using them all as fuel to push forward.
Enjoy your day!♥️
