My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Singing—
“I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Amen
Never forget the goodness of God. Always keep it close and dear to your heart, and allow it to surround and comfort you. ♥️
Love you,

“Chess Not Checkers” —Pastor Touré Roberts’ Sunday message.
Filling FULL right now!!
One word— CONFIRMATION!
Chess not checkers. Strategy is everything!
When I tell you there is absolutely none like my God! Y’all, He’s sooooo amazing. So amazing. I am so blessed and honored to be His child.
Gotta stay focused!♥️

A couple of years ago, when I shared my post “Miracles Happen Every Day” as an Instagram story, I shared it with Luther Vandross’ “Little Miracles (Happen Every Day).” I won’t share all of the lyrics, but here are a few words of the song—
“First thing I know, God is love. The next thing would be, He loves me.🥰 Sometimes I’m tired of waiting for a thing or someone. Then I stop and see what He’s done and I know everything will come.”
Beautiful, right?!
I miss Luther.
Here’s the video and link to the song, if you’d like to listen.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Side note: As I was adding tags to this post, I tagged the word “lover”—my first time adding the tag. Hadn’t even considered it before. But that’s who I am. I am a lover. I can’t help but love. It’s who God created me to be.🥰
Good Morning☀️
While watching “The Shack,” a movie about faith, forgiveness, hope, and belief, I kept hearing the song “I Believe” by Marvin Sapp.
The song says (Lyrics: MusixMatch)—
I remember the day
I gave my heart to You, Lord;
You told me if I’d (trust Ya),
You would never (leave me),
You said You’ll always be there.
Even though I’ve never seen Your face,
I know Your presence is real.
You told me if I would (seek Ya),
I would always (find Ya);
You’re just a prayer away,
that’s what I believe…
I believe what You told me,
I believe Your word is true.
I believe in Your promises, yeah, yeah.
I believe that You’ll come through.
You said that You would
never leave me nor forsake me
if I keep me mind stayed on Thee.
You told me You would (bless me)
If I would live (for Ya),
You said You would supply my every need;
that’s what I believe…
I believe what You told me,
I believe Your word is true.
I believe in Your promises, yeah, yeah.
I believe that You’ll come through.
You said that You would
keep me in (perfect peace)
if I keep my mind (stayed on Thee).
You told me that You would give me the life
of my heart if I would just (heart’s desire),
if I’d never lie.
I believe what You told me,
I believe Your word is true.
I believe in Your promises, yeah, yeah.
I believe that You’ll come through.
Your word is true,
believe, come through,
I believe.
I believe
Does anybody out there believe in God?
Like in the movie, just the mere presence of God makes me believe. He is the Great I Am. There is no other like Him. I can’t say it enough, His love, mercy, grace, and kindness are unmatched. I am so very grateful He loves me.
So, yes, I believe.
How about you? Do YOU believe?
If you have never seen the movie “The Shack,” I highly recommend it. It’s on Netflix right now. I believe you will truly enjoy it.
Praying you have a beautifully blessed Sunday.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Here’s a snippet of a message I shared on March 8, 2023, a few months before my 50th birthday—
The message is the same today as back then—it’s time to stop running!
God has placed a unique gift inside you that’s part of your purpose and calling. Whatever He’s called you to do—which will always be attached to serving others—Do it! As I have mentioned in past posts, things don’t have to be perfect or ideal for you to get started; however, it is important that you start and start now. Someone needs you, today!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
A couple of years ago, I started sharing “Self-Love Saturday” videos on TikTok. I’ve been debating on whether or not to continue sharing them on TikTok or begin sharing them on my YouTube channel. We shall see.
Anyhoo…
It’s Self-Love Saturday and the day after Valentine’s Day. Be sure to do something extra special for yourself. Me—I’m going to go buy myself some discounted flowers and candy. Smile
Listen, life is too short to keep waiting for things to happen. Always make the best of your life as it is now. There’s so much beauty in NOW!
Just be YOU!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
Since Facebook grouped these two stories together, I decided to share the Facebook memories from each one.
Simple message, yet it is often difficult to do until all noise is blocked—both externally and internally.
All it takes is ONE decision for our entire life to change. What may seem like a small decision today could actually be one of the greatest decisions of our lifetime.
Message—
We must stay focused so when it’s time to make those life-changing decisions, we won’t hesitate to make them.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Re-reading Christy Nockels’ “The Life I Long For: Learning to Live from a Heart of Rest” has been more about revisiting my reflection notes at the end of each chapter than actually reading the book. Here’s one about me trying to maintain a balance between pursuing my dreams and staying present (February 2022)—
Balance. Is there such a thing as balance? Either you’re working towards something or you’re enjoying the moment. Seems as if doing both is impossible.
That was written three years ago, written before I finished the book. By the time I finished it, I had found that balance. I discovered I could do both—actively pursue my dreams and stay present. The catch was, and still is, God has to be the center of it all. I cannot live the life I desire without Him being so. When I place myself in the center and try to do things from my own efforts, that’s when I feel off balance. And that’s also when God gently reminds me that He’s in control. Yes, HE is in control. Smiling
Y’all, God is so good. I just can’t express it enough how grateful I am that He loves me. I am so blessed.
Anyhoo… Let me go to sleep.♥️ ~Shaun
Decided to continue with the “Love Day” theme. Smile
So, this is how my “Love Day” is going…
Decided to take a short road trip to the coast to be near the water. If you’ve been following me for a while, then you know it’s one of my favorite places to be. Being near the water makes me feel like I’m one with the universe and closer to God.🥰
God is good. Soooo very good. Taking nothing for granted. Enjoying the breeze from the water. I’m truly blessed.♥️ ~Shaun
Not only are you loved, but YOU are love. Yes, you are one of the truest definitions of love. You were divinely created to be so. Believe me, God wouldn’t have it any other way. The way you selflessly give and pour into others is unmatched. Your heart is pure, and your kindness is genuine. When you smile, others feel it. When you say, “I love you,” you mean it.
Yes, YOU are love.
Love you,
Shaun
Now, look into the mirror and read it again.😘
It’s Shaun’s World
