Mid-Afternoon Worship

I guess my spirit feels like worshipping right now, so I’m going to let it do so. The song that’s been playing over and over in my mind for the past 30 minutes or so (that’s how I know there’s worshipping happening) is “Change Me” by Tamela Mann.

The song says—

Change me, oh God
Make me more like you
Change me, oh God
Wash me through and through
Create in me a clean heart
So that I may worship you

Y’all, God is working, from my spirit outwards. I feel it and I’m not ashamed to share it.

Forever grateful.

Forever blessed.

God is so good!

Amen

I’m sharing the video below in case you feel like worshiping too.☺️♥️

Love you,

Shaun

A New Day

Good Morning!☀️

Today is a new day! In other words, it’s an opportunity for a new beginning. An opportunity to do something different. To want something different. To expect something different.

Soooo…

What will you do differently?

What do you want to be different?

What are you expecting to be different?

Just a few questions to ponder. Smile


I pray you have an amazing week that’s different and more wonderful than you expected.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Good Morning!☀️

“Never doubt that you are loved. YOU are so very loved.”

That’s the quote I shared on this date a year ago. Y’all, it feels so wonderful to be loved, and to be loved unconditionally.

Yesterday, I got to spend the day with my two hearts. Now that they’re grown and doing their own thing, it’s been a while—maybe since last Christmas—that we’ve spent more than an hour or two together. My son is usually working on the weekends, and my daughter no longer lives in Mississippi.

Well, yesterday, we were together almost the entire day. We sang, danced, laughed, and talked about nothingness (nothing too deep this time). It was just an overall wonderful day. One that I needed so badly. Then, last night they treated me to dinner at our favorite restaurant.

Yes, it feels absolutely wonderful to be loved.🥰

My ♥️♥️s.
Orleans snow crab claws.
Our meals. I’m so glad they don’t mind me taking pictures of my food. Well, my daughter doesn’t. My son…🤷🏽‍♀️☺️

I pray you had a lovely weekend, and may today be even more beautiful. If no one’s told you in a while—like, since I told you yesterday☺️—you are loved.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

What Did I Ask For?

Good Morning!☀️

Photo credit: Unknown. I shared it on October 18, 2015.

“Everything you are going thru is preparing you for what you asked for.”

Whew! Sometimes, I wonder what I asked for because I didn’t think it was much. You would think I asked God for the world. Laughing

Honestly though, what did I ask for that requires so much preparation?

Up until Year50, I thought I knew; however, at this point, I am at a complete loss. If you have been following me for a while, you know that I did ask God to make this side of 50 different from the last. Well, I guess I had one thing in mind, and He had another. This side is different, but not as different as I would have liked. Baby… I was looking for all things to be new (I mean, He is God😉), not just my mindset. But, I guess that’s where different starts.

Anyhoo…

I have absolutely no idea where God is taking me. I asked for different than what was, and I guess that’s what He’s preparing me for. However, it had to start with my mindset, first.

Right now, I’m just going with the flow. I’m not going to lie, it’s pretty nerve wracking at times because I was so used to anticipating what came next. Now, I’m out here blindly following God’s lead, with absolutely no idea of what’s to come—like, none—completely clueless. Yep, I’m just out here trusting His lead, and trusting His love for me. I know He will not lead me wrong, and whatever different is, will be greater and better than I imagined.🙏🏽

Well, that’s all for now. Thanks for reading! I pray you have a wonderfully, blessed weekend.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Don’t Lose Yourself

Shared as a Facebook story on October 17, 2021.

I know how it feels to lose yourself trying to hold on to others. Been there many times. And I’m not only talking about losing myself in love relationships. Of course, those are the ones most people noticeably lose themselves in. However, friendships, work relationships, and family relationships are others.

Check your relationships, all of them, and make sure you’re showing up fully as YOU, and not who others want you to be. You are too important to lose yourself to anyone other than yourself and God.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
