For a few years I shared the same message—“God chose you.” Last year, I reshared my post from 2023, not realizing I was following the changes in the designs.
Unfortunately, I failed to create a design for last year (2024). However, I did find a version of the message that was created a couple of months later, and I’m also including a version I’ve already created this year. So, I guess you can say this is more about the design than the message, but do make note of the message. Smile
2022 and 2023
As you can see, my style has changed over the years, and I love it! Hopefully, I won’t forget to create one for next year’s post. Maybe I’ll put it on my calendar.☺️
Anyhow…
Remember, God chose YOU for this specific time and season to do what only YOU can do. YOU are His chosen vessel.♥️
Being obedient to God when you don’t understand the assignment is probably one of the most difficult things to do. If you’re like me—you know, human—you’ll probably have questions…lots of questions. However, you follow through because you were asked to do so.
I’m learning more and more to take myself out of the assignment and just be obedient—more of God and less of me. I don’t have to know why or the outcome of my ask. All I need to do is obey.♥️ ~Shaun
If there is something you desire to do, do it! Do it NOW! Waiting for the perfect time to get started only delays progress and time—time that you could actually be doing what you love.
I’ve been feeling this a lot lately. As we know, tomorrow’s not promised. All we have is today. I don’t know about you, but I would hate to leave this world without at least attempting to do the things I love. I just can’t do it, and won’t.
As I said three years ago, “You are the gift.” The most valuable gift you could possibly give is yourself. Your presence and essence are irreplaceable. It’s YOU that’s wanted and needed. Yes, it’s YOU.
I debated whether or not to share my interview that aired during last night’s local news because my journey to where I want to be is still a work in progress. Then, while trying to find something to share for my afternoon post, I heard to check the photos I had saved on this date. Y’all, when I tell you God forever amazes me! I wasn’t expecting to find a TikTok video I made three years ago. I don’t even have access to that TikTok account anymore. I lost access about two years ago when I couldn’t remember my password or the email address I used to set it up. So, finding this video today lets me know it’s okay to share the one from last night.
Here’s what I shared on February 8, 2022.
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of reading a book to two different groups during “Storytime with a Soldier,”—a monthly event hosted by the African American Military History Museum here in Hattiesburg. The first group included pre-K children, and the other included adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Well, the local news station decided to attend the event and they wanted to interview me. Y’all, I really hate being on camera. And I guess from the look on my face, the journalist knew it too because he asked if I was okay with being on camera, and I said “no,” but I’d do the interview anyway. And I did. I actually did two impromptu interviews yesterday. Yayyy, Me!!🎉
I once said I felt like the purpose of this blog space, “It’s Shaun’s World,” was to share my testimonies in real time, and that’s exactly what I have been doing. When I tell you life is funny and God has a sense of humor. I can’t help but laugh while watching Him with amazement. In the video from 2022, I said I was preparing to be on camera. Did I believe it would actually happen?! No! At least not without me being prepared for it.😂
Y’all, God is sooo smooth. Laughing because all this time I have been calling this my world when in reality, it’s actually His.☺️
In case you forgot, YOU are worthy of all—not some, but all—good things. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking certain good things are only reserved for certain people. However, that’s not true. As I mentioned yesterday in “Song of the Hour,” God deems us worthy even when we don’t believe we are worthy. Plus, we are His children—meaning we are worthy of all good things.
Listen, never sell yourself short. If you’re doing it, STOP! Please, know that YOU, yes…YOU are worthy of ALL good things!♥️
