My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
One word– Chosen.
Have you ever asked yourself, “Why me?”. Well, I have. Not only during bad times, but also during the good ones. Guess what?! You were chosen.

This morning I finally logged back onto one of my personal Instagram accounts. Didn’t know that I had been logged off for six weeks. I definitely needed that break.
Also, a few days ago, I logged back onto my Nutrition with LaShaundreaB accounts.
Since my mom’s been in the hospital (and she still is), I have been feeling kind of lost with no true sense of direction. It’s like my life has been placed on an indefinite hold. I’m not sad about it, nor disappointed, just a bit uncertain about my next moves. You know, I had logged off social media to focus on launching this project and BAM! the unexpected happened. I guess this is what makes life interesting, right?
This morning, I’m writing while still sleepy so I’m not going to make this very long. Here’s what I’ve recently realized (the reasons I decided to log back onto social media):
1) Life is going to continue to happen whether I’m plugged in or not. Yep… it’s still moving right along.
2) I am in control of the affect distractions have on my focus, emotions and feelings. It’s all on me.
3) The only sure, unwavering thing is God’s love, mercy, grace and peace. Yeah… it’s all inclusive. He is my refuge and a place I can always find rest.
Y’all, it’s so wonderful knowing that God never changes based on our moods, emotions, feelings, doubts, egos, etc. He always remains the same. I’m so grateful and blessed that I can always find peace and comfort in Him. He’s just so wonderful!
As I said, I’m back on social media; however, this time my focus is different. Allowing God to lead.
I pray that everything is well in your life. As always, thanks for reading. I truly appreciate y’all.♥️

Keep moving. You’ve come too far to give up on your dreams, goals and purpose. Just because you can’t see or feel God working, doesn’t mean He isn’t. Imagine if you were to quit today and tomorrow everything was set to fall in place. Again– Keep moving!♥️ ~ Shaun
Question –
Where would you be without God’s grace?♥️ ~ Shaun
Knowing that God is always working on our behalf and that He never stops loving us, makes me rejoice.♥️ ~ Shaun
Below is a Facebook memory from three years ago. Today, I needed this reminder. Everything I do is to support God’s purpose. It’s not about me.
Facebook Memory September 14, 2019:
Have you ever asked God why He chose you? I have. Sometimes I still do. Y’all, we were chosen for a reason. He chose us, with all of our imperfections, to fulfill whatever purpose He has. He’s so awesome!
I don’t know what lies ahead, but I do know I was chosen for a reason. For this, I’m forever grateful.
To this day, I still don’t know what lies ahead. So much has happened since I made that post. I didn’t know I would suffer one of the biggest heartbreaks of a lifetime. I didn’t know that I would be a coauthor in a book. I didn’t know that I would finally take the leap and leave my job– without a backup plan. I didn’t know that I would be one of the primary caregivers for all three of my parents. I didn’t know that by resting in God, and truly allowing Him to lead, that I would experience such peace. Y’all, I actually feel like a Queen at times. Smiling. I haven’t had to want for anything. God is sooo good.
Today, I’m still perplexed about why God chose me. Why He entrusted me with so many responsibilities, while treating me like royalty. I pray that I’m making Him proud. I pray that I’m doing a good job fulfilling His purpose.
