All I can say is “Hmmm…”
Life is interesting.
So much is happening.
Keep God first.
Allow Him to lead.
Stay prayed up at all times.
Stay covered.♥️
Love you,
Shaun

Chosen Vessel, Part 2
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
Find Wonders In Every Moment
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.♥️

It Will Happen: Never Stop Believing
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,

Take The First Step
Good Morning☀️
As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Faith is taking the first step when you don’t see the whole staircase.”
Have faith and take the first step.
Nearly four years ago, I took the first step to fully pursue my dreams. At that time, I couldn’t even see the next step ahead. However, as I moved forward, God revealed more steps.
Y’all… I’m so glad I took that first step. Soooo glad! Although I still can’t see the entire staircase, I can see more steps ahead. Today, I’m not as hesitant to make faith moves and I’ve become more confident with each move. I believe it’s because I’ve learned to trust God’s guidance. When He says wait, I wait—I’m not as impatient as I used to be to make things happen (timing is everything and others’ perceptions don’t matter)—and when He says move, you best believe, I move!
Again, have faith and take the first step. God’s got you!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
The Fruits Of The Spirit
I just watched another eulogy for President Jimmy Carter. Had no idea there was another one until it popped up on my YouTube feed. Y’all, this one had me bawling. He really was a great man. So selfless. His life’s mission was to make someone else’s life better and give them hope. Yeah… I’m crying!😭
Pastor Tony Lowden’s (Jimmy Carter’s pastor and friend) Eulogy
Pastor Lowden said President Carter’s life exemplified the Fruits of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23):
Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
& Self-control
Honestly, after seeing this eulogy, I really want to be a better person and continue his legacy. What a beautiful gift he left me, and he had no idea he was leaving me one. Yes, I am claiming it as mine.☺️ For real y’all, I am truly, truly blessed.♥️

My Journey With God, No. 49
Been feeling Trent Shelton’s message more and more lately. I guess you could say that’s what these past 30 years (since the knowledge of my firstborn’s conception) have been—me living in survival mode. Now, it’s time to thrive.♥️ ~Shaun
I Believe
I’m just going to sit this right here for the universe to see. I’m not too old, and I still believe that what I saw will be.🙏🏽
Five years ago, when Bishop T. D. Jakes asked us to tweet the title we wanted to hold, I posted the first ones that came to mind—Diplomat, Liaison, and Ambassador. Although I may not officially hold either of those titles, I am already stepping into those roles on a smaller level. One day, I will walk the halls of the Palais des Nations (it has to be Geneva, Switzerland) as one of the three. Of course, God may say otherwise; however, I do not believe He would have given me the vision and dream if they were impossible to achieve.
I believe.♥️

Joyfully Following God
Every year, I share this memory of where Shaun’s Daily Inspiration began. In 2018, I didn’t know it would evolve into what it has become. I didn’t even have a name for it then. Today, I use my drawings as backgrounds for about 95% of my quotes, and most of my quotes are original. I don’t know where God is taking me with this or It’s Shaun’s World, but I am joyfully following along. This is what I love doing.♥️🌺
Don’t Give Up – Keep Going!
Good Morning!☀️
Listen, DO NOT give up! I know it seems like you’ve been working towards your dreams for ages, and the closer you get to them, the farther you have to go. Believe me, I get it. I am right there with you. But guess what we’re not going to do? We are not going to give up or settle for less than God’s best for our lives. Instead, we are going to keep going. Yes, we are going to keep going until we see our dreams come true.
Here are two posts that just gave me the boost I needed this morning. I hope they inspire and motivate you.
Facebook Memory: January 6, 2019
A Facebook post that randomly showed up on my feed this morning.☺️
When I tell you God’s messages are always on time. This is why I allow Him to lead.
My Facebook memory reminded me of how far I’ve come in ten years. Y’all, 2015 was a beast! My entire life fell apart that year, and I nearly lost everything (I still had my babies) however, I made it! I’m still here and much further along than before things fell apart. Yes, life is so much better. Also, randomly seeing Mel Robbins’ post on my feed was all God—ALL God.
Y’all, I am so grateful God loves me enough to keep me motivated and encouraged. That He won’t let me give up on my dreams or settle where I am, even when I want to.🥰
By the way, I’m going to go back and follow Mel. I have been listening to her podcasts for over a year or so now but haven’t followed her on social media.
Well, this is all I have at the moment. Thank you for reading. I really do appreciate you. Sending prayers your way for a wonderful day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
