God Has The Final Say
No matter what you are going through or what things may look like, remember God has the final say. Keep your head up and keep going because it is not over until God says it’s over. Can’t you hear Maurette Brown Clark singing, “It ain’t over, til God says it’s over. … Keep fighting until the victory is won.” Well, I surely can. Smile (It Ain’t Over)
Wishing you a fabulous week.
Be blessed!♥️

Do You Know What You Desire To Achieve?
Do you know what you truly desire to achieve—in life, your relationships, and/or your career? If so, are you actively pursuing your desire(s). If not, why not? What’s stopping you?

Hello Sunday
This morning I am torn between sharing the song that’s currently in my head or, not one, but several Facebook memories. The song has nothing to do with the memories. It’s just what I woke up hearing.
Hmm…. Let’s see what I decide.
Well, I went to my journal for inspiration, and my entry from last year basically summed up the Facebook memories I was thinking of sharing. So, I guess I will share a snippet of what I wrote.
Journal Entry: February 4, 2023
Today’s quote was, “Keep Showing Up.” I’m learning more and more that my dreams are not meant to be given up on. Even when I feel like things just aren’t going to happen or everything is pointless, God shows me otherwise. Those goals that I wrote down years ago, as well as the dreams I had as a little girl, they’re all going to come to fruition. What I imagined over 40 years ago, I will have. I just have to keep showing up and allowing God to lead.
I ended the entry with–
Lord, I’m trusting You to do it Your way. Amen
Honestly, I really don’t need to write more. I believe that said it all. The only thing I will add is, no matter what, do not give up on your dreams. Many of mine are over 40 years in the making and I still have not given up so you don’t either. Love you!♥️

P.S. That song that’s currently stuck in my head is “Exhale” by Whitney Houston. I know, very random, but that’s me. Smile
The Past Twelve Years
I shared this message of Pastor Joel Osteen’s 12 years ago. Twelve years ago! Y’all, sooo much has happened since then. Since me saying, “God, I’m going to let You take me where You want me to go.” Honestly, I do not believe anything could have prepared me for what would come. Listen, sometimes our plans and God’s plans are completely different.
Took many years to finally appreciate the freedom of allowing Him to lead/drive. Now, it’s almost like second nature…almost! Smile. There are still times when I take the wheel because I believe I know what’s best. Then when things don’t quite work out, I let Him drive again. As Pastor Osteen said, God sees the detours, dead ends, and shortcuts. He sees all. Thankfully, I am finally at a point in life where it doesn’t take me as long to realize who’s in the driver’s seat.
Twelve years later, and I am beyond blessed. I am so glad I allowed God to drive.♥️
This is Year50…

Be Fearless
Times up for being afraid. Fear has held you back for way too long. It’s time for you to be who God created you to be. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

“Doing it afraid should eventually become doing it without fear.” Dr. Anita Phillips
It’s time to be fearless.♥️
Is It Worth Your Peace?
Question – Is it worth your peace? You know that it I am referring to. It’s that thing you have been contemplating doing but are unsure about. Or, that thing you are currently doing that has been stressing you out, keeping you awake at night, giving you anxiety, and/or making you second guess yourself or your decision. Yes…that it!
Again, is it worth your peace?
When I tell you this side of 50 is actually different. Before, I used to get involved in things because they sounded or looked good, or I saw a need I could fulfill, only to regret it later. Yeah…I am a sucker for helping/assisting where I see a need, solicited or not. Can’t help it!
Well, lately, I have been doing things a little differently. Whenever I find myself about to jump into something, I ask myself if it’s actually worth my peace. Now, being uncomfortable, feeling stressed, or even a little anxious for a moment is fine. I know that comes with new territory. But if it is something that I really do not want to do, but would typically say yes to, I stay away from, no matter how good it sounds. Listen, this is what I call growth! Laughing.
When you have finally found that peace that actually transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7), you really take time to think before saying “yes.”
I pray you have a lovely day!♥️

In God’s Arms
Woke up with the song, “Safe in His Arms,” playing over and over in my head. I know I shared it in this week’s Hello Sunday, but I have to share it again. Listen, stay covered. Stay in God’s arms. No one can love you, protect you, or give you the peace you need like He can. I don’t know about you, but I am so grateful and blessed to have Him as the head of my life, leading and protecting me. Amen.
Safe in His Arms
Lyrics: Musixmatch
Because the Lord is my shepherd
I have everything I need
He lets me rest in the meadow’s grass
And He leads me besides the quiet stream
He restores my failing health
And helps me to do what honors
That’s why I’m safe
That’s why I’m safe
That’s why I’m safe
Safe in His arms
When the storm of life is raging
And the billows roll
So glad He shall hide me
Safe in His arms
So glad, He shall hide me
Safe in His arms
Y’all, please stay safe. Stay covered. Stick with God.
Love you.♥️

Joy
Facebook Memory: January 30, 2023
Joy (Merriam-Webster): a source or cause of delight
Hold closely those things that bring you joy.♥️
What are some things that bring you joy?
Me…
Seeing people smile and laugh, especially my two. Knowing God loves me unconditionally. Seeing and feeling the sunshine. Good food. Great company. Chatting with my sisters and friends—I love our bond. Being loved. Feeling loved.
I will also add…
Knowing that every day is a new beginning—an opportunity to become a better version of myself. Lastly, knowing that my future will be brighter than my past. The best is yet to come.
Wishing you a beautiful day filled with love, laughter, and joy.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Stay Encouraged
Do you have inspirational quotes randomly placed throughout your house? Well, I do. From sticky notes to the screensavers on my phone and laptop, they are everywhere. I intentionally placed them where I can see them so I will not have to look far for a boost of encouragement. Let me tell you, it works!
Was sitting at my desk thinking about how I should have handled something differently. Was really beating myself up over it, and then I looked up and saw these two quotes.
Now, I am smiling. The thing I was beating myself up over seems like something of the past, even though it was less than an hour ago. One of the reasons I create and share inspirational messages is because I know how easy it is to become discouraged. One word, thought, or conversation can trigger negative emotions. Keeping something positive near is essential.
I pray you are having a great day. Be blessed!♥️
