My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
I was reading a journal entry from July 2017 where I had written, “Old habits do not belong in new spaces.” I was preparing for something new, and I heard God say I needed to change a few habits before I could move forward. Well, I did just that. I changed what I was doing at the time and God did the rest.
Be careful not to take old habits into new spaces. They don’t belong where God’s taking you. Love you!♥️ ~ Shaun
When I scheduled my first post to be shared, I didn’t share any of the other captions I wrote last year. I usually share the same message on multiple pages with a similar or different message. Little did I know I would actually need one of the other messages this morning.
This morning, I received a text that left me in tears, and also with a long overdue matter I should have addressed a long time ago. It was something I had been hesitant to acknowledge or address for fear of an unfavorable outcome. A million scenarios have played over and over in my mind. But this reminder has given me the strength and courage needed to do what I need to do. Here’s the caption I shared last year—

Life is good, and my God is SO AMAZING! No matter how grim things may appear, or how discouraged you may become, know that God is still on the throne and is working behind the scenes. You will SMILE again. You will LAUGH again. You will LOVE again. You will LIVE a long prosperous (in ALL areas of life) life. Stay connected to God. I promise you, He will not fail you.♥️
God is still on the throne and I know He has my back and I am covered. I got this!
Praying you have a fabulous day! Also, no matter how crazy things may seem at the moment, know that this isn’t the end. You will smile, laugh, love, and live again. He’s got you. Just make sure you don’t keep putting off things that you need to deal with. It will not only free you but it could potentially free others. Love you!♥️

There isn’t too much to add to last year’s Facebook memory. Just remain optimistic. Good things do happen, and dreams do come true. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

Good things DO happen.
Dreams DO come true.
It is possible to love and be loved unconditionally.
Beauty can be found in even the darkest moments.
Do not allow anyone to convince you otherwise.
Keep hope alive by remaining optimistic.♥️
I hope your day was as beautiful as you are. Praying God fills your weekend with blessings, joy, peace, and love.♥️
Good Night,
Shaun
There is no one as captivating as you are when you show up as your authentic self. Always show up as YOU. Love you!♥️ ~ Shaun
It’s funny that this message was under today’s Facebook memories because I am starting late today. Honestly, I fell asleep before I scheduled today’s first post, and when I woke up, I didn’t feel like writing. Didn’t even feel like sharing last year’s memory. Nothing’s wrong, just tired. I need a vacation. A real vacation. A vacation where I won’t need a vacation from after my vacation. Lol
Anyhoo, here’s today’s Facebook memory.
Facebook Memory: July 11, 2019
Can’t believe it’s Thursday already! Yay!! Here’s today’s social media find. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is get started. You’ll be amazed by what happens when you just make the effort to begin. Believe me, you don’t have to have every detail figured out. Starting can be as simple as picking up a pen, getting out of bed, taking that first step, etc. WHATEVER you do, don’t remain stagnant. The worse feeling in the world is to look up 10 years from now and see you’re still in the same place, contemplating starting. Get started, TODAY!
Even if you can only muster up enough motivation to make one step forward, make that one step. God will do the rest. Have a wonderfully blessed day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
True happiness comes from within.
You can’t find true happiness in things or people, and you surely cannot buy it. Believe me, I have tried before only to end up in the same state—feeling sad, depressed, unloved—after the excitement was over. No, true happiness is God-given and comes from within.♥️

True happiness comes from within. Wishing you much happiness and peace.♥️
On another note, earlier this morning I watched Jay Shetty’s podcast with philanthropist, Melinda French Gates. It was a conversation I was already interested in hearing. However, I did not know it would end up being one I needed to hear. Yes, needed to hear. I can’t say it enough, I just love how God loves me. He always sends the right messages at the absolute right time. Always.
Here’s the link, if you are interested: Jay Shetty with Melinda French Gates.
Praying you’re having a wonderful day this far.♥️
Take Care,

When we see or hear messages like the one above, we tend to believe our breakthrough is right around the corner. Well, sometimes that corner is very long, like years long. Just know that eventually your breakthrough will happen. Hold on as long as you can in your power. Then when you can’t hold on any longer, give it to God.
Honestly, I am not necessarily sure what I was waiting for besides my divorce, which happened two years later. I am pretty sure there was so much more by the exclamation marks and dancing emoji I used.
A lot has happened in seven years. I am so grateful for every breakthrough I experienced. They strengthened my relationship with God, and made me who I am today.
I pray that whatever breakthrough you are waiting for happens soon. If it doesn’t, just hold on. Believe me, it will happen.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
God’s love…
Builds
Heals
and
Comforts
It’s that solid foundation that we can always rely on. It’s peaceful, joyous, and unconditional.
To be loved by God is one of the most beautiful experiences ever.♥️ ~Shaun
I have absolutely no idea of what God has planned next for my life. I’m just going with the flow. As so many wise ones have said, God will show you the vision (got that), but not the many details along the way that are necessary to His plans. Here is what Year50 taught me—Yes, it took nearly 50 years to learn this:
1) Stay in the passenger seat. God is an amazing driver.
2) Remain under God’s covering. His presence and protection are forces to be reckoned with.
3) Trust God’s plans and His guidance. He sees and knows ALL—every tiny detail, every thought, every conversation.
On this side of 50, I have chosen to stick with God’s plans because I know (not believe) they are best. There are none better. Another thing Year50 taught me was God is the Master of plot twists. So yeah, I am sticking with His plans. Smile
Praying you have an amazing day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
