Good Morning

Good Morning!☀️

How is everything going?

How have you been feeling lately?

Me? I’m so glad you asked.☺️

So, my new year started off on a high note. However, it went downhill soon after—like the next day—when I began thinking about my personal life. I thought about how I chose to be a mom first and built my life around my two—no disrespect to my babies because I would do it all again if I had to. It’s true.

Side note: If you don’t already know, I love being a mom. Y’all, I love everything about motherhood—the good and bad. Believe me, my adult children were regular kids like every other kid. They tested their boundaries and my patience, but I never once regretted having them. They were and truly are my blessings.

Anyhoo… Reality hit me hard a couple of days ago. I’m talking hard! For a minute, I felt completely lost and alone. Y’all, I am single—like, single, single—grown kids, no man single—and I’m 51.

That’s when I knew I needed a change of scenery to clear my mind, so I hit the road. I wasn’t about to sit and wallow in my thoughts of what I didn’t or don’t have. Yes, I am 51, but I refuse to believe my best days are behind me. That I missed out on God’s plans for my personal life because I chose to make my babies a priority.

This morning I came across a Facebook memory from a few years ago and was reminded that everything that happened in my life, happened the way and in the order that God planned. I may not understand it, but I accept it. I accept it, and I’m letting it go. I must let it go. I know God’s got me.


Well, that’s how I’ve been feeling lately. How about you?😅

Don’t forget, today is Self-Love Saturday! Remember to treat yourself a little extra special today.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

It’s Done

Whatever you’ve asked of God, know that it’s done. Yes, it’s already done. Now, carry on. He’s got you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Trust God, COMPLETELY!

My Journey With God, No. 47

Good Morning!☀️

God is moving. He’s moving in a way I don’t always understand, but He’s moving.

I was reading a journal entry from this date a few years ago and found an excerpt attached from January 3, 2015. This basically sums up what I struggle with at times—both needing encouragement and motivation and people not thinking I do.

Momma J is my bonus mom and my Aunt Deloris was my mom’s aunt (I miss her so much).

It just baffles me how people think I don’t have the same needs as everyone else. Like I’m some kind of superhuman or something. As I mentioned back then, I do and handle things like I do because I have to, not always out of choice. But they were both right, it’s made me who I am today. Not sure if that’s always a good thing though.

Anyhoo…

As I said, God is moving. It’s so ironic that I am seeing this today. Yesterday, I revived something (yeah…learning not to over share) I began in 2022. Seeing the snippet of those two conversations confirms I’m moving in the right direction.

Y’all, I’m so grateful and thankful for God’s love. I am truly blessed.🥰


This is all for now. I’m looking forward to spending time with my bonus mom today. She already has a lot planned (tasks) for us to do.🤦🏽‍♀️☺️ I pray you have a wonderful day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Home Is Where The Heart Is

Sometimes a trip home is warranted to recharge, clear my mind, forget the craziness of everyday life, laugh at nonsense (my family keeps me laughing), and be loved on.🥰

Y’all, the older I get, the more I cherish these trips. Everyone’s growing older or passing away, so I treasure every moment I get to spend with those who are still here.

I’m blessed and God is so good.♥️

Again, Allow God To Lead

Sharing the same message I shared a few days ago—Allow God to lead. You don’t have to understand the task or have all the details. Just be ready to move when God says move.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Trust God. He’s not leading you wrong.

Uplift Someone Today

I see you and I see your heart.

Your kindness and encouraging words might be the reason someone decides that life is worth living.

Uplift someone today.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Don’t Wait, Create

I was scrolling down one of my pages and saw this message I shared in 2023.

Today’s message is—

Don’t wait for everything to be perfect before you start creating the life you’ve always imagined. Do it now! Block out the noise, fears, and doubts, and start today!

Remember, you’ve already taken the limits off yourself and God, so what are you waiting for? You got this!

Love you!♥️

Courage

Good Morning!☀️

Being different takes courage. Are you courageous enough to be different?

You weren’t created to blend in. You were created to be different.

I hope your new year is off to a great start. Mine is going quite well.

Wishing you a wonderful Thursday. Please, please, please stay vigilant and in prayer.🙏🏽♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Good Night (33)

Before I go to sleep, I would like to thank God for being God.

God being God…

I wish I could find the words to express the significance of what “God being God” means to me.

I am so grateful for the relationship I have with Him; so grateful for His love. I am truly blessed.♥️
