This One Is For The Dream

I just VOTED!!!

Today, I didn’t just vote for myself, but I voted for my momma, my grandma, my great grandma, my great-great grands—mothers, aunts, cousins, godmothers… Yes, today, I voted for them.

But that’s not what has me all emotional and excited right now. Nah… that’s not it!

Listen, I just voted for five year old Shaun!!! Screaming

Yessss, I just voted for her. I just voted for that little girl who followed former President Jimmy Carter’s every word and action about peace. Yes, I just voted for her! I just voted for EVERYTHING I once dreamed possible. Listen, we will sing my song one day!! I voted for the possibility of a more peaceful, kinder world. A world where people aren’t tolerated but celebrated for their differences. I voted for equality, togetherness, compassion, justice, and humanity. Y’all, I truly believe I will see all of this in my lifetime. Even if it’s only for a moment.

No one believed we would see this day, yet here we are. So, any and everything is possible!

Y’all have a wonderful day! And even if the results aren’t in my favor, I STILL believe!!!♥️

Yes, forward is the only way to go.

God’s got us.

Love you,

My Journey With God, No. 8

Whatever you bury will resurface at the oddest times.

That’s my personal message for today.

Y’all, God’s timing is quite interesting. When you open yourself up to be worked on, God will confront you with issues you thought you had defeated, only to discover they were buried.

All I can say is what I seem to be saying a lot of lately—

I hear You, God.

I’m listening, God.

And I will follow through.


Today, I’m singing my own song—

“A wonderful change is happening to me.”

And I’m here for it.

God is good!🙏🏽

You’ve Changed

Good Morning!☀️

In case you haven’t noticed, you’ve changed…for the better.

Your walk is different.

Your talk is different.

Your confidence is showing.

And you are glowing.

Yes, you’ve changed.

Yes, I’ve changed, and I’m so loving the new me.🥰

The song I’m hearing right now is Donald Lawrence’s, “The Gift.” The song says—

“The gift, it looks good on you. The gift, it looks good. God has graced you and you wear it well.”

Wear your gift!♥️

That’s all for now. Wishing you a wonderful day and blessed week!

Love you,

Shaun

It’s Only Temporary

It’s only temporary. This too shall pass.

If you are experiencing difficulties and challenges right now, remember they are only temporary. Where you are today is not where you are meant to stay. Keep your head up. Things will get better.

The song I’m currently hearing is “Optimistic” by Sounds Of Blackness (Lyrics: LyricFind). The song says—

When in the midst of sorrow
You can’ t see up when looking down
A brighter day tomorrow will bring, oh

You hear the voice of reason
Telling you this can’t never be done
No matter how hard reality seems
Just hold on to your dreams, yeah

Don’t give up and don’t give in
Although it seems you never win
You will always pass the test
As long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
Face toward the sky
Be optimistic

Listen, you will always win because God’s got you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Song of the hour is The Winans, “Breaking Of Day.”

Good Morning!☀️

We may not always understand what God is doing or why He has us go through certain things. However, I have learned that, at times, He gives us glimpses of possible answers. Yesterday, I received one of those glimpses. It was a glimpse of a promise, of a dream God had given me ages ago. All He ever asked of me was to trust Him completely, be obedient, and follow His lead; and I did—not always perfectly, but did (and I’m still doing).

Yes, yesterday, I received a much-needed glimpse at what God is doing and where He’s taking me. Of course, I’m not privy to the entire picture (I’ve learned to accept this), but what I see is enough to let me know I am heading in the right direction and that my dream is still intact.

Today, I am thankful for connections I made decades ago that have somehow come full circle (one of the speakers from yesterday’s event was someone I met during undergrad over 20 years ago). Thankful for recent connections (made within the past few months) that have encouraged and inspired me to push beyond my limits. Everything that has happened has been done in a way only God knew I would undoubtedly receive—from the people He placed in my path to the opportunities I have been given. I am forever amazed at how well He knows me! I know…He’s God. Smile

Y’all, I can’t stress it enough how I really did need for yesterday to happen, and to happen the way that it did. Even what I considered hiccups, needed to happen.

I just love the way God loves me.🥰


Thank you so much for reading and following my journey to becoming the person God’s created me to be. I pray you have a wonderful Sunday and extraordinary week!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

We Are All Connected

“We are all connected” is the hashtag I used with my caption about purpose on November 1, 2022. Here’s that caption—

Facebook Memory: November 1, 2022

“Purpose is not self-centered or self-serving. Purpose is so much greater than us.

I believe our true purpose in life is to fulfill another’s need. There’s something that we provide – different things for different people – that allows them to fulfill their purpose.”

Embrace your purpose. It’s so much bigger than you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Happy November

Happy November!🍂

God’s in it.

November is here.

Looking forward to new opportunities and blessings.

Looking forward to something excitingly different!

Praying whatever’s meant for harm becomes something beautiful.

This month will be glorious!

All smiles, no tears (unless they’re tears of joy).

Happy November!♥️

Shaun

P.S. This message is for you too. Our November will be wonderful!😊

Keep Your Heart Open

Keep your heart open, and prepare to receive the love, light, and goodness that’s flowing your way.

Y’all, there is a lot of sadness in the world. Please do not let everything happening right now cause you to shut yourself off from the world. Believe me, there is still goodness, light, and love surrounding you, and there’s even more heading your way.

Please, keep your heart open and ready to receive.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Trust Yourself To Make It Happen

I often share screenshots of previous posts instead of copying and pasting the captions so you can get the full effect of what was written. Sometimes, the hashtags I used are more meaningful than the text itself. Here’s what I shared two years ago (October 30, 2022).

Side note: Please feel free to let me know if you are not able to view any of my photos or links. I’ll never know unless I’m told.☺️

Trust yourself to make your dreams come true. I truly believe if God gave you the dream, then He gave you the ability to make it happen. First, you must stop trying to figure out how it will happen and start moving with what you have. Move, and God will guide you through the rest.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
