Never Give Up On Your Dreams
Good Morning☀️
Never give up on your dreams!
One good thing about social media is being able to witness God’s greatness through testimonies of growth, success, and manifested dreams. It’s the testimonies of others overcoming obstacles and hardships to finally succeeding and excelling that keep me believing. If God can do it for them, He most certainly can do it for me because I know He loves me. So, I cannot and will not give up on my dreams.
And YOU cannot afford to give up on yours, either. No matter how long it takes, never, ever give up on your dreams!♥️
I love you always,
Shaun
God First
Always keep God first. Everything else will fall into place.♥️
Love you much,
Shaun
Today’s A New Day
Good Morning☀️
Today’s a new day! Be sure to leave yesterday’s worries, fears, hurts, and disappointments behind. Start today with a fresh mind and open heart, expecting great things to happen. Remember, God is still in control.
I pray this week brings you peace and clarity. May God’s love and grace surround you. Remain open to new ideas and opportunities that align with God’s divine purpose for your life. Remember, more of God and less of you. It’s all about God and His glory, not ours.♥️
I love you always,
Shaun
I Still Believe
Being reminded of my “Why” keeps me hopeful.
I hadn’t looked at all of my Facebook memories until moments ago. Six years ago, I created my social media platform, “Mississippi Thriving.” I posted my official welcome message in December of that year, so you may see me celebrate milestones in February and December.
Here’s what I wrote on this date in 2019 and 2020.
In the past six years, I have connected with so many wonderful people who share my same vision for a healthier, brighter, and thriving Mississippi. Although it may feel as if we’ll never see it happen in our lifetimes, I still believe it’s possible.
I must keep hope alive.♥️

My Journey With God, No. 67
God has been speaking to me this morning, and y’all, I’m listening.
His message to me, which may also be a message for you—I (you) can’t carry someone else’s load (this includes their fears). Their load is theirs to bear. I can pray for them and help however I can, but I cannot carry their load for them. My hands and heart weren’t meant to do God’s job. Just like I have been attempting to rest in Him, others will have to find rest in him as well. He let me know that it doesn’t mean that I don’t care, it only means that I cannot do what only He can do.
I just love how He loves me.🥰 ~Shaun
Hello Sunday
Happy Sunday!☀️
Psalm 118:21–24 (NIV)
21. I will give You thanks, for You answered me; You have become my salvation.
22. The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;
23. the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24. The Lord has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.
Rejoice!
Today’s a new day, which means there’s still hope for something miraculously wonderful to happen. Never give up hope.
I love you,
Shaun
Breathe…
Breathe…
God’s got you.
God’s got us.
You’re going to make it.
We’re going to make it.
Breathe… 🙏🏽♥️
I love you,
Shaun
**So many are afraid right now. They’re not sure if they’ll have jobs in the upcoming weeks or if they’ll be able to afford food or medication. What’s happening is real. Please keep them in your prayers.🙏🏽
Yes, It’s Still Love Month
Good Morning☀️
Yes, I am still talking about love! Smile
I’ve shared the same image below since 2022. To continue with the “love” theme, I’m sharing it again today, along with two of my previous captions—the first is included in the screenshot.
Here’s the second caption, which was shared last year.
Feeling a bit nostalgic this morning. Taking it back to when times seemed simpler. When love seemed simpler. But what would I know? I was only around four or five when “When Somebody Loves You Back,” was released.🤭 Let’s just say I felt the love Teddy was singing about. It was between this song and L.T.D.’s “Love Ballad.” I’m a 70’s baby, of course I love “LOVE.”☺️
When I shared last year’s post as an Instagram story, I included Teddy Pendergrass’ “When Somebody Loves You Back.” As you can see, I was torn between it and another 70’s favorite, L.T.D.’s “Love Ballad.” I remember my granddaddy playing L.T.D.’s eight track while driving his midnight blue L.T.D. I was so intrigued by the fact that they were both L.T.D.s that I never forgot either—not even the color of his car. Great memories.☺️
As I said in my caption from last year, “I’m a 70’s baby, of course I love “LOVE.”☺️” It’s who I am, and this year I’m embracing it. I am a lover and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said—
“Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.”
Let’s light up the world with LOVE!♥️
I love you,
Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 66
“Never give up on your dreams. You’re still breathing, so your dreams are still possible.”
When I shared the image and caption above on Instagram and YouTube, I included Yolanda Adams’ song “Never Give Up.” The song says (Lyrics: LyricFind)—
Visions that can change the world
Trapped inside an ordinary girl
She looks just like me
To afraid to dream out loud
And though it’s set for your idea
It won’t make sense to everybody
You need courage now
If you’re going to persevere
To fulfill your divine purpose
You’ve gotta answer when you’re called
So don’t be afraid to face the world
Against all odds
Keep the dream alive don’t let it die, if something deep inside
Keeps inspiring you to try, don’t stop
And never give up; don’t ever give up on you
Don’t give up
When I tell you this last year has been about full-circle moments! Last June, I began serving my second term as president-elect for my state’s dietetics association (the first time was in 2015). Back in November, I was reconnected with someone I wanted to work on a project with ten years ago. Today, we are working on a similar project that’s even better than the one I envisioned. Then, last night, I attended an event and connected with someone who could possibly help me with another project I wanted to work on ten years ago.
Y’all, I had given up on both projects—projects that were part of my dream—but God said not so!
Despite the craziness happening right now, God is still bringing dreams to life. I can’t help but be in awe of Him!
Forever grateful and blessed.♥️
Shaun
