You know YOU

People will try to define you based on what they see on social media or your current situation. However, you know who YOU are. Be careful not to become who they say you are or who they want you to be.

You know YOU.

Love you!♥️

My Journey With God, No. 86

Found the following in one of my journal entries from 2015. I wrote that it was a Facebook post I had made in 2008.

“I’m here! God made me the person I am. However, the person I am today will not be the person I am tomorrow. God is so wonderful that He allows us to grow each day. I know that in everyday ahead of me there will be learning experiences and teachable moments. Can’t say it enough, God is awesome!”


That was 17 years ago!

Today, I’m saying the same—I’m here, and God made me the person I am. And I absolutely LOVE who He created.🥰

Thank You, Lord, for loving me. You are an AMAZING God.♥️

Hello Sunday

Happy Easter!☀️

Today is Resurrection Sunday!

Matthew 28:5–7 NIV

5. The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

6. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

7. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”


The fact that Jesus conquered death gives me hope. Not even death can stop God’s greatness! Amen

I pray you have a wonderfully blessed and relaxing day. You deserve it.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

Second Chances

The song of the hour—or the day—because I have been singing it for a few hours now is “Second Chance” by Hezekiah Walker. The song says—

Show me
All of my wrongs
Forgive me
And make strong
Oh Save me
Restore my song 
For You’re the God of a second chance

You gave me
A second chance
You forgave me like only You can 
You gave me 
A second chance

Lyrics: LyricFind


Y’all, God is so good. I’m so thankful for second, third, fourth, and even 100 chances. Sometimes, He gives me more chances than I can count to get things right. I can’t express enough how grateful and blessed I am that He loves me.

By the way, nothing major is going on. It’s the little things He’s been working with me on that I don’t always get right. Most of the time, I don’t pay much attention to them until He says, “Look, you’re going to keep going through this cycle until you get this right.” Today, I had one of those moments. Sometimes, it’s not the things we consider significant that keep us from moving ahead. Often, it’s the small things we keep ignoring that are most important. We must remember that those small things are always connected to something greater.

I am forever grateful for God’s love, mercy, kindness, patience (boy, is He patient☺️), and grace. I am blessed.♥️

My Journey With God, No. 85

Yesterday, I shared the New King James Version of the Bible verse, Psalm 23:6, which uses the phrase “goodness and mercy.” However, not all versions of the Bible use the term “mercy.” Instead, some use “love”. Here is the New International Version (NIV) version of the same verse:

Psalm 23:6

“Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”


“Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.”

Of course, I want God’s goodness and mercy to follow me all the days of my life; however, I also want His love to follow me. I never want to be without either of these—including the last part of the verse—“And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

Oh, to have God’s goodness, mercy, and love with me every day and to live in His presence forever. What a beautiful gift!

I am truly blessed—beyond blessed.🥰
