My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Just like I keep all kinds of memorabilia, I also screenshot inspirational quotes and captions to refer to when I need a little encouragement. In continuing with the theme, “Dream BIG,” here’s a message I saved from Joel Osteen. As you can see, it’s from 2016.
Smile…
“You cannot out-dream God. God thinks big.”
Isn’t it wonderful to know God has so much more in store for us than we’ve ever imagined?! Y’all, God is so good.
We are blessed.
We are beyond blessed!♥️

I have been going through my videos on TikTok and saving what I can. I had no idea I made so many videos. In my mind, I had only made about 10 over the past few years (I hate being on camera) when in reality, I’ve actually made close to 50. Who knew?!😁 I am glad I had TikTok to document things I didn’t feel comfortable with sharing on Instagram or Facebook—too many familiar and judgmental faces on those platforms.
I documented my time with my mom at the hospital. I also documented moments before she had the seizure that sent her to the ICU for the final time. In the video, I was all chipper talking about my upcoming 50th birthday. I had no idea that an hour or so later, I would never speak to her again. Another was a video I had decided not to share because I hated how I looked. I had left it in Drafts and ended up sharing it a few days after my mom passed. I was so worried about the way I looked, not knowing my momma would die so soon. I knew she was dying, but I just knew she had at least a couple of more weeks to live. The video I made was about God instructing me to stop focusing on everything I needed to do at home and to focus on being there with her. Well, I never shared that video until after she was gone. The way I looked no longer mattered at that moment. My momma was gone. Life…
Well, I said all of that to say, I made a lot of meaningful videos. So many documented memories I can’t afford to lose. I’m so grateful I am able to save what I can.
Since it’s Self-Love Saturday, I have decided to share two videos I made. The first one aligns with today’s theme of dreaming big (March 2023), and the other is one I made after the election (November 2024).
I have more Self-Love Saturday videos I might share over time. I still can’t believe I had so many. They were rarely planned. Anyhoo… Be sure to love on yourself and do something extra special today. You deserve the extra attention.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
A few years ago, I made a video documenting a moment when I dreamed BIG and the dream came true. Here’s what I wrote when I shared the TikTok video on Instagram/Facebook.
Facebook Memory: January 18, 2022
“Manifest it! Wrote it down on 09/29/2014. On 10/24/2014 it happened. Y’all, it really doesn’t take long for God to work. He’s quite amazing!☺️
Never stop dreaming!”
And here’s a Facebook story I shared last year (January 18, 2024)—
As I shared last year, you are already living in your dreams. Please be careful not to miss the beautiful moments in front of you because this isn’t the dream you envisioned. Enjoy every minute of now. Believe me, so many treasures can be found in this present moment. In time, you will see what you envisioned.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Y’all, I am still singing Marvin Sapp’s “Chosen Vessel.” Maybe this is the song of the month or the year. I’m not sure.
Hmmm…
I’m chosen.
You’re chosen.
We’re chosen for this season in time—definitely something we should not take lightly.
The message I’m getting is…
We have work to do!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
Our gifts were never meant for us to keep to ourselves. They were always meant to be shared with others.
Blessings flow our way and to others when we pour into others. Keep pouring.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
I’m still singing Marvin Sapp’s “Chosen Vessel.” I recently watched a video of Priscilla Shirer explaining how God intentionally chose every part of our lineage, placing us where we are today. It isn’t by chance that we are here at this moment in time. We were purposefully chosen to be here.
Let that sink in…
We were chosen to experience this AI era. We were chosen to go through the next phase of world challenges and changes. We were chosen.
Yes, let that sink in…
So, if God chose us for this specific time and we were not created to fail, we are strong enough to get through anything—but not without God. No, God has to be at the forefront of everything we do and at all times.
We can do this!
Yes, we can do this because We Are Chosen. Smile
I pray you have a restful night.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Marvin Sapp’s song “Chosen Vessel” says—
I’ve made mistakes I thought
I’d never recover from
Some said I fell from grace
I just knew I was done
I felt discarded, abandoned and thrown away
But then God’s love stepped in
Restored me to my place
He said
You are my chosen vessel
You are anointed for this season in time
What people rejected
I have accepted
I am with you, you are mine
You are mine
You are God’s chosen vessel. You were specifically chosen for this season in time. How wonderful is that! Listen, allow God to use and work through you. Believe me, He won’t let you fail.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
I shared the image above on this day six years ago. It’s true. Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful. Be sure to pause and discover wonders in every moment.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
Habakkuk 2:2 (NIV). Then the Lord replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.”
A few years ago, I shared Matthew A. Cherry’s story about his desire to be nominated for an Oscar award. Eight years after he tweeted about it, he was nominated for one and won! Here’s what I shared:
Never stop believing. It will happen!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Peace is—
Trusting God.
Allowing God to lead.
Knowing God always keeps His promises.
Resting in God’s love.
Yes… This is peace.♥️
