He’s always working.
Remain optimistic.

My Journey With God, No. 38
Finally reviewing my Facebook memories. They say hindsight is 20/20. Whew! If I only knew what was coming in 2019, I’m not sure if I would have made the post below. Although good things happened that year (I finally got my divorce after four years of waiting), it was the most traumatic year of my life. I’m not going to lie, seeing post like this and knowing what happened, throws a damper on my optimism. I know I will get past this moment. I know that God is good. I know that life happens and flows according to His plans. However, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt at times. Right now I feel the pain.
After rereading the post, I have decided to celebrate her (my) moment. In that moment, I wasn’t delusional or naive, I was happy and optimistic. I was so looking forward to all of the good things I expected the new year to bring.
I cannot allow knowing what actually happened that year to stop me from expecting great things to happen in the future. I need to keep that same level of optimism. I love how genuine my excitement was. It was pure. It was me. Oh how I wish I could get that Shaun back.
Anyhoo… just needed to share.♥️ ~Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 14
I will always believe in a world capable of unity, love, peace, kindness, compassion, empathy, equity, and joy. To not believe opens the doors to hopelessness and despair.
Keeping hope and optimism alive.♥️
The Best…Is Yet To Come?
Good Morning!☀️
Sometimes, you have to be your own hype woman (man). You have to pump yourself up so well that whatever’s happening around you seems so small and insignificant that you can tune it out. Or that you can take on any and everything that comes your way because you know the outcome will be great.
Today, I’m singing “The Best Is Yet To Come,” trying to hype myself up. In the memory below, I wrote, “Believe me, you ain’t seen nothing yet!” Well, that was me hyping myself up, and honestly, it probably worked. However, today, I’m not feeling it. Whew! I’m not feeling it at all. Y’all, I’m going to need a minute to process what’s happened over the past couple of days.
Yeah… I need time to process this. I can’t believe all our progress as a society is about to be ripped away. All the work women fought for to have our voices heard and respected as equal—gone. All the progress we’ve made since slavery and the Civil Rights movement—gone. Religious freedoms—gone. Global respect—gone. And people are celebrating.
Yeah… I’m going to need a minute. I cannot allow my own hope and optimism to die like everything else. I cannot and will not allow my heart to become hard because love is everything to me. What is the world without it? So, this will probably be my only post for today. I need to connect with God. I don’t know or understand what He’s doing, but I still trust Him. However, right now, my heart hurts.
Wishing you a wonderful day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Happy November
Happy November!🍂
November is here.
Looking forward to new opportunities and blessings.
Looking forward to something excitingly different!
Praying whatever’s meant for harm becomes something beautiful.
This month will be glorious!
All smiles, no tears (unless they’re tears of joy).
Happy November!♥️
Shaun
P.S. This message is for you too. Our November will be wonderful!😊
Value
Hello! So, according to my journal entry from July 30, 2022, I was deeply engaged in a conversation Jay Shetty and Lewis Howes were having on a podcast (will share the podcast if I can find it). It was about love, life, growth and relationships. Y’all, I took so many notes. I also jotted down important questions I needed to answer. One was about what I valued. I even wrote, “Shaun, what do you value?” Well, as I mentioned, their conversation was mainly about relationships/companionship so I answered accordingly. Today, I asked myself the same question but answered based on life in general.
Aside from my relationship with God, here are a few things I value:
Love, kindness, compassion, respect, optimism, peace, time with family, Me time, and people. Not necessarily in that order, but those are a few.
How about you? What are some things you value?
Shaun
Found the podcast!! Smiling because Lewis is now engaged to his then girlfriend. Love is a beautiful thing.♥️
