Can’t help but laugh because all while I was writing my last post, now deleted, I kept hearing Bishop Jakes’ message from this morning, “The Theology of Quietness,” subtopic: “The Silence of The Lamb.” My post wasn’t bad, I just didn’t need to share it. I should have shared this instead.
Three things the enemy is after:
1) Your power.
2) Your purpose.
3) Your prowess.
I’m listening God!
Here’s Bishop T. D. Jakes’ message, “The Theology of Quietness.”
I keep telling y’all God loves me. So thankful for His guidance.♥️
It’s in the stillness that we hear God’s voice the clearest. It’s hard to hear him when our mind is going 100 miles a minute. Stillness is where we find clarity and peace.
My previous message was a call for stillness—Be still! So, I guess you can say this one is the follow upmessage, or part two. Smile. Praying stillness allows you to clearly hear God’s voice.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
About this drawing. Saw my iPad and wanted to draw. Pushed it aside and said I would do it later—which probably would have never happened. That’s when I heard to draw now. To stop waiting for the perfect time to do the things I truly enjoy. Now, was and is the perfect time.☺️ It’s in the stillness…
A few years ago, I shared the following image with the caption, “What are you writing? Hope it’s something beautiful.”

None of us knows what the future holds. Most of the time we look at it through the lens of our past. If we are not careful, we will continue to write and create the same stories.
This year (Year50), and my mom’s death, forced me to stop and reflect on the limiting patterns and stories I kept repeating and creating. Some I had been doing my entire life. I couldn’t seem to let certain parts of my past go. Not so much physically, but mentally. However, once I decided this side of 50 would be different, I intentionally began to make it different. And I am still doing so. It’s an ongoing process that I am committed to continuing. Not sure where my story will take me, but I do know—not believe—it will be beautiful.
I pray your future is just as beautiful. My advice is to release control and allow God to do the rest.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Side note: I used to be terrified of giving God complete control. Didn’t fully trust Him with my future. (Being transparent.) I believed He would bypass my dreams and aspirations to only fulfill His purpose and plan. Now I realize my dreams and aspirations were always part of His purpose and plan. He’s the one who gave them to me. So I have to trust Him to do the rest.
Y’all, I was dead set on not using a Facebook memory from this day for my posts. Well, I guess it’s not about my plans. Being obedient. Laughing
So, I just read my journal entry from two years ago (April 26, 2022) looking for inspiration for this post and it led me right back to the Facebook memory I wasn’t going to share. Here’s what I wrote:
Shaun’s Journal Entry: April 26, 2022
Anyway, last night I was lead to read last year’s journal entry from April 25, 2021 which referred to April 26, 2015. The word was definitely for me – I Believe and God Knows. For almost two weeks or more the song, Believe For It has been stuck in my head and the word “believe” has been on my conscience for days. So when I read “I believe,” I knew this message was for me. So that’s what I shared as today’s quote, “Believe. It’s already done.” I have to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it’s done. Period.
And here’s the Facebook memory from that day.
Facebook Memory: April 26, 2022
Believe it’s already done. OR.. Believe. It’s already done. Listen, that period makes a difference. It’s assurance that whatever you’re believing for IS already done. You may not see it yet, but it’s done. So stop worrying and start living. It’s done!
Obedience is key to contentment and peace. I believe most people understand what it means to be at peace, but I do not know if many understand the concept of contentment—the state of happiness and satisfaction. I have heard people associate contentment with settling, or the lack of ambition; however, being content is so much more. For me, it’s waking up knowing that God is in control and has me in His hands. That whatever comes or goes, He’s got me. In no way does it mean that I have settled for what is, nor does it mean I do not desire more. No, it means I’m good. I am finally happy with my life.
This morning, I was reminded that I asked for both, peace and contentment; and that’s exactly what I have been gifted. My obedience has afforded me these gifts and I refuse to let them go. I have learned that I don’t have to have all of the answers, or completely understand the assignment to make moves. All I have to do is be obedient and follow God’s guidance, and He will do the rest.
I know many of you may question some of the things I post about my interactions with God. How He reveals and confirms things. But y’all, it’s so real. He gives me exactly what I need when I need it. Now, Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts preached this message months ago. I watched it live. However, the message didn’t hit the same then as it is hitting today. Today, it’s right on time. And yes, it just happened to be the first video on my feed so I clicked it. Needed it!
So, I’m just going to sit it right here. It may or may not be something you need to hear.
