My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Shaun’s Journal Entry: December 18, 2021
“There is no such thing as perfect timing. Make memories now.”
I selected the song “Good Memories” by Cochren & Co. to accompany the image above. It’s a lovely song that brings back so many sweet memories. I hope it brightens your day as it has mine.♥️ ~Shaun
Here’s the song’s video.
You are in God’s hands. You’re covered. Right now, I can hear Marvin Sapp singing, “He Has His Hands On You.”
Marvin begins his song with these words—
“A lot of us in this house tonight, we are on the potter’s wheel right now and it’s not comfortable. It doesn’t feel good. But we need to just take solace in the fact that even though it may not feel good right now, as long as I’m in His hands I know that everything is going to be alright.” –Marvin Sapp
In God’s hands is such a wonderful place to be. After I shared my last post, “My Journey With God, No. 38,” God led me to read my journal entry written two years after I made the Facebook post (see previous post for reference—the journal entry date was December 18, 2020). After reading that entry, I heard, “There’s life after heartbreak.” He went on to show me a few other things. Things that gave me a sense of peace and hope.
This is what happens when we’re in God’s hands, when we’re covered. He will always send comfort, we just have to be open to receive it. And what I love about God—because He’s had to do this with me many of times—is that He doesn’t force us to receive the comfort when it’s offered. Instead, He holds it until we are ready to receive it. Today, I needed comforting after I saw that Facebook memory. God knew I was open to receive it, so He gave it to me. Beyond Blessed
Despite how crazily unpredictable life can become, I know that God has me covered. I am in His hands.
And so are you!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
Today’s a new day—a fresh start. It’s an opportunity to do things better than I did yesterday. Today, I will be kind to myself, and I will give myself grace and space to be human…because I am human.☺️
On another note…
I will be changing my posting schedule to allow for a few more hours of sleep. For years, my most productive time has been early morning, so my current schedule worked. However, now that I have more activities scheduled throughout the day, I must make sure I have enough energy and rest to accomplish them. I’m not as young as I used to be (I’m just facing the facts) and need to adjust accordingly. I must be able to perform at my best at all times. No half-stepping!
Well, this is all I have for now. Thank you for reading. I’m not sure what my new posting schedule will look like, just know that there will always be a “Good Morning” post because I love good mornings.
Love you!♥️
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
God is restoring everything! Everything you lost. Everything you thought you lost. This is restoration season. Can’t you feel it?! If you can’t, I surely can. I can feel it, and I can see it. It’s happening. Allow it to happen—yes, you must allow it to happen in order to experience the full effect.
I can hear the Winans singing, “Restoration has finally come. Been restored back to my place in God.”
What a wonderful feeling!
Y’all, God is so amazingly good. There is absolutely none like Him. We are truly blessed!
I pray you have a beautiful day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Allowing God to lead.
I had written so much more but heard to delete it, so I did.
I say this all the time, and I am finding it to be very true—obedience matters.
Be obedient, even to the simplest ask. You never know what God is protecting you from or guiding you to.♥️ ~Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
1 Corinthians 13:4–8 (NIV)
4. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8. Love never fails. …
Love always wins.
I keep hearing, “Love always wins when we let love in.” So, I guess that’s also a message. Smile
Well, that’s all for now. I pray you have a wonderful day and blessed week.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
Always remember who you are and Whose you are.
Never forget YOU are God’s child—hand crafted and uniquely made—royalty. There’s no other like you. Remember who He created you to be and boldly walk in it.
I pray you have a beautiful Sunday. Again, boldly walk in who you are!
Love you!♥️
Shaun
In case no one has told you today, you are loved. Never, ever doubt that you are. God loves you, and I love you, too.♥️
So… Smile,
Shaun
Sitting here reflecting on the past couple of days. Y’all, God is so very amazing.
Revelations 21:5 (NIV) says, “… I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
I wish you could feel what I am feeling right now. I’ve been hanging out with my daughter the past couple of days, and this is the first time—very first time—since I was around six years old that I haven’t had to worry about anyone else besides myself. Even when I joined the Air Force and left home, my siblings were always at the forefront of my mind. I’ve always been their second mom, so it was natural for me to be concerned about them. Afterwards, my babies became the center of my life, and then my parents.
Y’all, this is the first time ever that I am my only concern. This is the most liberating feeling I have had in my entire adult life. Like I said, I wish you could feel what I am feeling. Honestly, I never knew it was possible to feel this way. I am so, so, soooo very blessed.
I pray you’re having a wonderful weekend. Don’t forget to do something extra special for yourself today.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
God chose YOU on purpose for His purpose.
That’s the message.
God chose YOU on purpose for HIS purpose.
As I wrote three years ago, “let that sink in.“
Listen, no one—NO ONE—can do what you do. They may come close, but they will never be able to do what you were chosen to do. God placed a very specific, very unique key inside of YOU to unlock plans, dreams, and hopes others have been waiting for. There’s absolutely no other like you! Allow God to use you.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
