You Did Not Give Up

This time next year, you will be in a better place in all aspects of life because you did not give up. You overcame your fears, mastered your challenges, and blocked all self-doubt. Yes, YOU!

You kept going despite the odds. Now look at you all glossed up and bossed up! I see you, and I am so very proud of you. You did not give up!♥️ ~Shaun

Smile, you made it!! Now, keep going!

It Won’t Always Be Like This

Singing VaShawn Mitchell’s “Turning Around For Me.”

Turning Around For Me by VaShawn Mitchell
Lyrics: Musixmatch

Sometimes discouraged but not defeated
Cast down but not destroyed
There are times I don’t understand
But I believe it’s turning around for me

I’ve had struggles and disappointments
There were times I felt so alone
Some of my friends, they let me down
But I still believe, it’s turning around for me

Around for me
Around for me
Around for me
It’s turning around for me

Around for me
Around for me
Around for me
It’s turning around for me

‘Cause I can see the breaking
I can see the breaking of day
God is making a way
A change is coming for me
If I stand strong and believe
There’s no reason to doubt
I know He’s working it out
It’s turning around for me

It won’t always be like this
He will perfect that concerning me
And sooner or later, it will turn in my favour
Sooner or later, turn in my favour
It’s turning around for me

It won’t always be like this
The Lord will perfect that concerning me
Sooner or later, turn in my favour
Sooner or later, turn in my favour
Sooner or later, turn in my favour
It’s turning around for me
It’s turning around for me

Around for me(around for me)
Around for me(around for me)
Around for me(around for me)
It’s turning around for me

Around for me
Around for me
Around for me
It’s turning around for me

Around for me
Around for me
Around for me
It’s turning around for me

It won’t always be like this
He will perfect that concerning me
Sooner or later, turn in my favour
Sooner or later, turn in my favour


Smile. Good news is on the way. I can feel it!

Be Blessed♥️

All We Have Is The Present

I cannot believe we are almost one full week into 2024! Time is doing what it does—moving forward without a care in the world. It does not care about feelings, life, peace or chaos. Nope. It just moves right along. Which brings me to today’s Facebook memory—staying present. I believe when we stop fighting time life seems to flow so much more effortlessly.

Facebook Memory: January 5, 2023

Let’s not be so consumed with the past or the future that we miss out on today’s blessings. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not promised. All we have is now.♥️

Staying present represents our respect for time.

Today, I challenge you (doing the same for myself) to stay present and enjoy the gift of now. Have a wonderful day and beautiful weekend!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You Are Your Journey

Facebook Memory: January 4, 2022

“In the end, she became more than what she expected.” R.M. Drake

You and your journey are one and the same. Change directions if you must, but never stop going. You are destined to win.♥️ ~Shaun

Freedom

Freedom

Breathe it

Feel it

Embrace it

I believe one of the greatest freedoms of our time is the freedom of being hidden. The freedom of not being well known or always seen. The freedom of not having hundreds of thousands of followers. The freedom of not having to perform for people who will love you in one breath and curse you in the next. Freedom from the chains of clicks, impressions, views, and likes. The freedom to just be.

Freedom

Embrace it

Feel it

Breathe it

Own it


Y’all, our mental, emotional, and spiritual health is priceless. We must protect it at all costs. Love you!♥️

Trust God’s Plan

I wrote the following two years ago (January 4, 2022)–

As the years pass, I’m learning that the dream doesn’t always look like what you initially imagined. Nothing like it! My advice is to let go of whatever you had in mind and trust God to lead and guide you to where you’re supposed to be. Believe me, what He has planned is far better than anything you’ve ever imagined! Trust Him!

Believe me, even if you cannot see or feel anything happening, it is. God is still in control and working, and your dream is still intact. Hang in there!♥️

Are You Sabotaging Your Prayers?

Are you sabotaging your prayers by speaking against them? Not intentionally, of course. I mean, who would intentionally speak against something they are hoping or praying for?

As Pastor Joel Osteen said, “You can’t pray for victory and talk defeat.” Which is something I plan to be more mindful of moving forward. Also, when we pray, we must believe. We must believe that it is already done. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

Victory mindset only!

It’s Already Done

Facebook Memory: January 3, 2022

Whatever you have been asking for or waiting on, know that it’s already done.

Just believe!♥️

Thy Will Be Done

“Draw Me Close To You/Thy Will Be Done,” by Marvin Winans has been playing over and over in my head since I woke up. Listen, no matter what happens, or does not happen, stay close to God. Lean into Him. Rest in Him. Stay covered. Allow Him to lead. His will will always be better than ours. He sees and knows things we do not. His foresight is so much greater than ours. Trust Him and trust His will. He’s got you. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

Draw Me Close To You by Marvin Winans
Lyrics: Musixmatch

Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down
You are my desire
No one else will do
No one else can take your place

Help me find my way
Bring me back to you
Thou will be done
Thou will be done
Thou will be done Lord in me
In me because

I seen you work in others
And I want you to work in me 6x

No one else can take your place
Not when I want to feel the warm glowing grace

Help me, help me find my way
Bring me. bring me back to you

Thou will be done
Thou will be done
Thou will be done LORD in me
In me because

I seen you work in others
And I want you to work in me

Social Media Break

Where would we be without social media?

Every year around this time I usually take a short social media break. It is how I clear my head to get ready for the rest of the year. Typically, I delete all of my apps to keep me from mindlessly tapping them. Well, this year my apps are still on my phone and I have not tapped on as usual. This is what I call growth.

I wonder how long this will last. Am I finally controlling social media without it controlling me? Been saying for years that this is what I wanted. Maybe it is finally happening. Maybe…
