My Journey With God, No. 75

Earlier, when I shared my first post, “I’m Blessed,” I had no idea I had written the following post on March 13, 2023, until I read my journal entry from that date.

This morning, I wrote—

“Thanking God for blessing me with hope and the gift of dreaming new dreams. I am beyond blessed.”

I had no idea I had actually written about my hopes and dreams on this date two years ago. Here’s what I shared then—

I’m Already Living In My Dreams,” March 13, 2023

Much too often we limit ourselves to what is familiar… to what we know and see.

When I was in my twenties, God gave me a taste of what I said wanted but I was too naive to recognize it. For decades, I saw myself in international spaces. Wrote in my Senior book (high school journal) that I wanted to work for an international company. God gave me the Air Force. Said I wanted to travel to different countries. I lived in Germany and Turkey. Shoot, even said I wanted to live in the city I’m living in now, eight years before I actually moved here; and the move was not intentional, it just happened.

So, here I am actually living in all I have spoken… in all I have dreamed. No, nothing is or has happened the way I envisioned, but everything has happened and is happening.

For years, I have seen myself standing in front of the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland admiring the flags of different countries. I have seen myself walking its halls and interacting with people from all nations. Well… I am already doing it through my blogs and social media platforms. No, I am not physically at the U.N.; however, everything I saw myself doing, I’m doing from the comfort of my home. Now, this does not mean I don’t want to go to Geneva, Switzerland because that’s still a dream of mine. What it does mean is I now recognize the gift I have been given and I am eternally grateful that I am living in my dreams.

I am truly blessed.

I would like to thank all of you for reading my blogs and helping me fulfill my dreams. I so appreciate you!♥️

If you don’t mind, please leave a comment and let me know where you are reading from.


I thank God for reminding me that dreams rarely resemble what we envisioned; however, the core of our dreams never changes. I am not just dreaming new dreams but expanding and reimagining the dreams God placed within me as a child. I also recognize that my reality is interconnected with my dreams. Talk about being blessed!

Y’all, God is so amazing!♥️

Focus.

“Focus on your vision. In time, everything will fall in place.”

I wrote that.

Well…

I’m in the middle of working on something, and it looks NOTHING like I envisioned. NOTHING!

I believe it’s time I take my own advice and BREATHE…

Plus, I haven’t eaten lunch so I’m probably getting a little hangry.😅

Oh the joys of “Wellness Wednesday.” Lol

I hope your day is going well. I know mine will be better once I eat.😊

I’m determined to end this day the way it began—on a FABULOUS note!!🌟

Love ya!♥️

Breathe… You Got This!

Many days will come with challenges—some big and some small. When you find yourself facing one, remember to take a moment to breathe.

Breathe…

You got this!♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

You Are Fabulous!

Good Morning☀️

This morning, I decided to listen to my body and sleep in another day. My body needed the extra sleep. It is Wellness Wednesday, and my wellness matters. Smile

Anyhoo…now about YOU!

You are FABULOUS!🥰

Yes…YOU! You are FABULOUS! Don’t be afraid or too shy to flaunt it. Remember, you are God’s child, and He intended for you to SHINE!✨

I love you to other galaxies and back!♥️

300 Days

Smiling.☺️

Three years ago, I was almost a year into my journey of posting daily.🎉

This Saturday, I will be celebrating 1,400 days of posting daily. At 1,300 days, I decided to add an extra post. I believe that’s when I began the “My Journey With God” series. At 1,000 days, I launched my YouTube channel. This time, I’m not sure what I’ll do. Maybe I’ll wait until 1,500 days to do something different. Either way, I still plan to celebrate it in some way.

Thanking God for this space. It’s my own little world. And THANK YOU for visiting my world. Seriously, thank you for the continued love and support and for allowing me to be me. This means a lot in a world that’s so judgmental. I appreciate you more than you know.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Needed This Laugh

First of all… PLEASE don’t ask me why I have so many random things saved on my phone.🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️😂

So, I was scrolling through my photos looking for something to share for my next post and came across this video. I’m not even sure why I recorded it or who I sent it to, but I was CRACKING UP!!🤣

I needed this laugh.😂


On March 11, 2023, I was watching one of my fav’s movies, “A Madea Family Funeral.” Y’all, I love me some Joe. He’s soooo inappropriate, but so hilarious!😂

Look at Bam!😂😂😂

Again, I needed this laugh. Sometimes we need a break from all the seriousness of life, and I needed one this morning.☺️

Hope you’re having a wonderful day!♥️

I love you always,

Shaun
