My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
“Consistent & Sustainable“ were my focus words for 2020.
Today, the word “consistent” has been on my mind, hence the reason for the image above. I had to see if I had shared anything about it lately and happened to find that screenshot in my photos. Now that I see that the word “sustainable” was added, the message is clear.
Nothing is sustainable without consistency.
Talk about a word!
I hear you, God!♥️

Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I sincerely hope you are well.🌸
Today, I’m doing the same as I did on this day three years ago. I’m keeping the message simple. No frills or extra words needed.
Remain hopeful.🙏🏽
I pray you have a beautiful day and wonderful week. May it be filled with love, joy, and peace.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
On this day six years ago (May 26, 2019), I wrote the following—
“Goodbye comfort zone. It’s time to create the life I’ve always dreamed of.”
Then, when I shared it, I added the caption—
“Leaving my comfort zone,” and used the hashtags—Refocusing and Rebuilding.”
I wish I could say everything happened instantaneously, but it took me a while to leave my comfort zone—actually, it took a few years. Believe me, it wasn’t easy. I had become so comfortable where I was.
I’m so glad I made that decision. If I hadn’t, there is no telling what my life would be like today. I needed a change so I could grow. I needed my babies to see me evolving. I owed it to God to use the gifts He’d given me. And I owed it to myself to keep pursuing my dreams and purpose. I needed to become ME.
I am so very grateful for God’s love, grace, and patience with me. He did not give up on me or let me give up on myself. There were so many times when I wanted to quit and settle, but He wouldn’t let me. Y’all, He’s such a good God.
Sitting here in awe.
I’m no longer where I used to be.
I did it! ✨♥️

This is how God works in my life! When I tell you He loves me!🥰
Short story…
Last night, in my post, “Service Before Self,” I wrote—
“I miss that life [Air Force life]. I miss the camaraderie. We were more than coworkers and colleagues. We were family.”
I ended it with—
“I believe I need to visit an Air Force base soon. I need to see my people.”
Fast forward to God hearing and delivering!
Below is a reply from my friend, who happens to be a retired Air Force Lt. Colonel. Notice the time stamp: Friday, 8:55 PM. That was the time she replied to one of my Facebook stories. Well, I didn’t see it until after 8:00 AM this morning.
After seeing her message, I called her several times, but the calls kept failing. Then, I texted and messaged her, but she never responded. By 8:30, I was heading to her house. When I tell you all kinds of thoughts were going on in my head. “What if she was on the road and her car broke down?” “What if she was hurt or needed me to drive her somewhere?” “What if she had fallen and couldn’t get up?!” She is 84, so it’s possible (plus she’s always joking about it😅). So, what was I supposed to think?
By the time I got to her house, I was in tears and preparing myself for the worst. Her car was in her driveway, so she wasn’t stranded somewhere. I rang the doorbell, and guess who came to the door smiling? It was her, all happy to see me. All I could do was hug her. Y’all, she had forgotten that she had replied to my story. And her message was supposed to say, “Call me” instead of “Car.” Ugh… That crazy autocorrect! And when she said she needed “some help,” she meant she needed help finding something.
Anyhoo… I ended up spending the day with her and having a lovely time. It wasn’t until this afternoon that I realized God had given me what I wanted and needed—time with my Air Force family, and I didn’t have to wait.🥰
I am forever in awe of my God! I cannot express enough how truly grateful and blessed I am.♥️

Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I hope you’re well.🌺
All day yesterday and now, this morning, the song that’s been on repeat in my head is Kirk Franklin & the Family’s song, “Conquerors.” The song says—
We ran the race, we kept the fight. We shed our blood for what was right. We carried our cross through storm and rain. Because of Christ now we can say—We are conquerors, conquerors. We are conquerors, conquerors.
. . . More than conquerors. More than conquerors. More than conquerors.
Whatever you may be up against, know that God’s given you the strength to endure and overcome it. You are more than a conqueror.
I pray you have the loveliest of days. Remember, God’s got you.♥️
I love you,
Shaun

How are you?
I hope you’re well.🌸
“Peace is trusting God while patiently waiting through the process …”
“You cannot have peace without patience.”
That’s what I shared four years ago. Today, I feel it more than ever as this side of 50 ticks down. The only way I can maintain the level of peace I have is first to trust God, then remember to be patient. Both are key! There’s so much God is doing while I’m waiting and moving—because I’m definitely moving—through the processes to get to where He’s taking me. Yes, where God’s taking me. I used to try to figure it out, which caused my impatience; however, now, I move and operate under the flow of His guidance.
That’s trust.
That’s patience.
That’s peace.
I pray your patience is bringing you peace. Please have a beautiful day. May it be filled with love, happiness, and joy. And if you need a little more patience, may it be filled with patience too. Smile.♥️
I love you always,
Shaun
