Just a friendly reminder—YOU are enough. Never doubt yourself. Never doubt what God has placed inside of you. Never doubt who He created you to be. At this very moment, with all that you lack or have, YOU are enough.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
You Are Enough

Love Is…
Facebook Memory: December 27, 2021
Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. 1 Corinthians 13:4
When I reshared the post, I added–
Love does not hurt.
Embrace it. Bask in it.
Give love and be loved.
Also on December 27th (2014), I reshared God’s Fruit (Facebook page) post–
Let’s make today about love. I would say everyday, but one day at a time is a good start.
Yes, let’s be intentional about spreading love.
I will start…
I love you, unconditionally!♥️
Shaun
Updated to add…
As someone once said, unconditional love is not unconditional tolerance. Please know the difference. You can love someone unconditionally from afar. You do not have to tolerate the disrespect, hate, and/or harm. Please don’t! Also, don’t let your heart grow cold. A cold heart stops you from receiving and giving unconditional love.
Grateful
Hezekiah Walker’s song, “Grateful,” says–
I am grateful for the things that you have done
Yes, I’m grateful for the victories we’ve won
I could go on and on and on about your works
Because I’m grateful, grateful, so grateful just to praise you Lord
Flowing from my heart are the issues of my heart, it’s gratefulness
Flowing from my heart is gratefulness. There is so much I have to be grateful for including still being here. Every day on earth is an opportunity to witness God’s glory. So often we miss it because we are looking for it in something grand. Today, I encourage you to be intentional about seeing God’s glory, even in the simplest of things.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Let It Snow
When I think of the winter holidays, I think of the perfect winter setting. You know, the kind you see on holiday movies—the couple, the cozy fireplace, the plush blanket, hot chocolate with marshmallows and peppermint sprinkles, beautiful snow falling, and “Let it Snow” by Boyz II Men—not Dean Martin—playing in the background. It’s what you think of too, right?! Laughing. Although my reality looks nothing like my perfect holiday setting, I can still enjoy the soulful sounds of Boyz II Men singing “Let It Snow.”
Let It Snow by Boyz II Men featuring Brian McKnight
Lyrics: MusixMatch
It′s another Christmas holiday It’s a joyous thing, let the Angels sing ′Cause we’re together
We got a thing, can’t let it slip away No, go outside, it′s raining sleet When our bodies meet I don′t care about the weather
Let it snow, let it snow, outside it’s cold But the fire′s blazin’ so, baby, let it snow Let it snow, yeah Let it snow, let it snow
Come over here and help me trim the tree I wanna wrap you up, baby Then you′ll see You’re the only present I need
There′s so much more Waiting for you in store From this precious day, I can gladly say There’s no place that I’d rather be
I know, you′ve found my everything Come a little closer God must have sent you down from Heaven
Let it snow, let it snow Outside it′s cold But the fire’s blazin′ So, baby, let it snow Let it snow Let it snow
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten And children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I′m dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white
Let it snow Let it snow, baby But the fire’s blazin′ so, baby, let it snow Let it snow, yeah Let it snow (Let it snow)
Hope you are enjoying your day!♥️

My Relationship With God
Have you ever written an entire book (exaggerating) only to not publish it? Well, I just did. I know I wrote a good chapter describing my relationship with God starting with when I was an adult-child (yes, adult-child—smoking, shoplifting, etc. …heavy on the etc.) getting saved at eight years old; to my life as a sanctified teenager who went to church almost every day; to being a young adult who only called on God when needed; to completely ignoring Him in my 30s; to building the bond I currently have with Him now. Hmmm… I guess I could have written it like this the first time. Oh well…
As you can see, my relationship with God started decades ago. Thankfully, what began in fear (of going to hell) is now a relationship of reverence and awe. Y’all, up until this past decade, I did not know a relationship like this was even possible. As Kierra Sheard’s song, Indescribable, goes–
Indescribable, uncontainable
You place the stars in the sky and you know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Although we are here to fulfill a specific purpose in the world, we are also here to glorify God; to worship and to praise Him. Y’all, He loves our praises.
God, You are so amazing!
Keep the praises going.♥️

Hello Sunday
Happy 50 years 6 months to me!!! Yes…I am 50 1/2 years old and beyond grateful to see this day. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine living this long. I never dreamt of age 50. As a child, 50 was old and who as a child dreamed of being old? I know I didn’t. If I can remember, most of my dreams were centered around my 20s and early 30s. Now, lo and behold, I am over 50! How awesome is that! Y’all, God is absolutely amazing!
As always, my Facebook memories are sooo timely. This memory from two years ago nicely sums up the last six months of my celebration.
Facebook Memory: December 24, 2021
Here is a quote from Michelle Obama’s “Becoming.” I believe questioning our worth is a natural part of our growth process. Whenever we take on new tasks, or decide to move beyond our comfort zone, part of us wonder, “Am I good enough?” Well, I am here to tell you that you are. You are good enough and you are more than equipped to handle whatever comes your way. You got this!
Over the past six months, I have had some very interesting experiences. Experiences that had me questioning God’s intentions. Had me asking more questions than I have ever asked Him before to include am I equipped to handle situations. And y’all, I have encountered some really interesting situations since turning 50. Listen, when I asked for this side of 50 to be completely different from the last, I had no idea what I was asking for (laughing), but God did. Shaking my head. My life and its adventures…
As I wrote two years ago—which I now know was a message for my future self—I am good enough. I am more than equipped to handle whatever comes my way. I’ve got this!
As I write, I cannot help but smile and praise God because I am truly blessed. Y’all, I am 50 1/2 years old and still here and healthy and loved. My babies are well and flourishing. My siblings and their families are all healthy and happy. My friends and family are still here. What more could I ask for. Again, I am so very blessed.
I have six more months left in my jubilee year. I do not know what’s to come; however, I do know that whatever comes God is good and I am covered. Y’all, God’s covering is everything. And His peace!!! Listen, there is none like it. You better get you some!
I pray you have a beautifully, blessed Sunday. Love you, always.♥️
