Step Into Your Calling
You already know what you have been called to do. You have seen the vision and it is very plain. However, you are hesitant to move forward because it will take you completely out of your comfort zone; you feel like there are too many uncertainties to take the risk. Believe me, I understand. I am right there with you. But now is the time for us to step into our callings. No more excuses. No more delays. Those who need what we have to offer need it now… TODAY. Let’s do this!♥️ ~Shaun
Side Note: This consecration time with God that Bishop Jakes suggested Sunday is THE TRUTH! Listen, I thought I was already spending time with God and following His guidance, but clearly I wasn’t. Over these past few days, things that I thought I had handled resurfaced and I had a choice to either bury them again or face them head on. Well, I decided to face them. Listen, if you want to KNOW about yourself, spend a little time with God, real time with God and I guarantee He will show you who you really are. Y’all, it was not easy, but it was so necessary.

I Am God’s Child
Hey Y’all!
I promise you this is my final blog for today. If you have been following my blog for a while then you know I believe in transparency. When I began blogging, one of the things that really bothered me was the lack of transparency with people. This was one of the issues I had with social media and people always sharing their ups but never their downs. Well, since I wanted transparency, transparency was what I decided to give.
Overall, I am a very positive and happy person, no lie. I really do get excited about the tiniest things that happen. I can see a butterfly and be like God sent it my way just to see me smile, you know, because He just loves me so much. Smiling. That’s really me 90-95% of the time. Honestly, I used to believe something was wrong with me because I could not stay mad very long nor could I wish anyone bad, even after being done wrong.
Recently, I started paying attention to different scriptures about God rewarding us in the presence of our enemies. I have heard them all of my life but somehow those scriptures never resonated with me because I never believed I had enemies. Call me naive, but y’all, I never even thought anyone would want to wish me bad or see me hurt. I hear people saying things about other people, but never believed I could ever be included in someone’s ill thoughts. Well, I finally realize that everyone is not like me. That there are people out there who would love to see me fail or hurt.
Well, I’m not going to fail because God does love me and He loves blessing me. Yes, I may stumble, may even hurt at times, but I will ALWAYS bounce back. I am God’s child, and He loves seeing me smile and making me happy. THIS I KNOW to be true. So whatever weapon that has been formed against me will NEVER prosper or stop me from prospering. Amen
Good Night

Give It To God
You know better than I do what “it” means to you. So whatever “it” is, give it to God. Release it. Let it go. Let Him handle it.♥️ ~Shaun
Side Note:
When God has a message for you, you best believe He will make sure you receive it. Now whether or not you obey it is on you.
Funny story… or more like a transparent moment… guess I have been feeling Year50 a little too much. I’m not going to lie, I have been like, “if it did not happen on that side of 50 I’m moving on.” Every time these moments happened I would hear God ask if I had consulted Him. Well, I would tune Him out. I didn’t want hear anything about consulting Him because I felt like I had been consulting with Him long enough on issues I could clearly handle on my own. Told you I’m being very transparent.
Well, this morning we had a meeting and I had to let go of a few hurts and disappointments, hurts and disappointments stemming from things not happening in my time, or the time limit I had placed on Him (God)–everything had to happen before 50. My mind and mouth said I was okay with His timing, but my heart and soul were not okay. Until this morning, I had not allowed myself to feel the pain of those hurts. I wanted to leave everything behind. But as we all know, whatever we don’t fully address will always be lurking in the background just waiting for the opportunity to resurface.
Here’s the message I received this morning, and get this… I wrote it. Must have written it specifically for this moment–gotta love God’s timing!
Facebook Memory: July 18, 2022
Enjoy your day!
It’s Five Years Later: So Where Am I? … Actually Four (Revised)
UPDATE: I was so excited when I found this memory that I couldn’t count. Laughing. However, this makes everything that is currently happening in my life even more interesting. Becoming emotional as I think about it. Can’t wait to share!♥️
Well, had to refer to my journal to see what I had written on July 14, 2019, and here is what I wrote:
“Be intentional about time, talent and friends.”
That was it.
So where am I today according to the quote above?
Time–I am becoming better with managing my time. Sadly, it is a constant struggle.
Talent–I am so proud of myself for tapping into my talents. I’m finally using them.
Friends–Some have come and some have gone, and I am at peace with the way things are going.
So how am I doing according to Bishop’s actual quote below? Keep reading…
“Be intentional. Where do you see yourself in 5 years, and how do you plan to get there?”
Journal Entry: May 22, 2019 (Goals were written and revised prior to Bishop’s sermon.)
Here are my current goals written on February 2, 2019. Over the next couple of years, I need to make sure my endeavors align with these goals. Everything I do at work has to provide skills for my professional and entrepreneurial careers.
Overarching Goals:
- Make global connections.
- Support efforts that promote and support healthy, sustainable communities.
- Spread hope.
- Promote safe places and spaces [for marginalized groups].
I included details on how I would accomplish each goal, and so far I am right on track. I know at times it may seem like I am all over the place, and sometimes I am (I just love life), but I do know where I’m going. This morning I stepped up my game and took another leap. Will share later. Want to see where it goes first.
Thanks for reading! Hope you have a wonderful weekend.♥️
