My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Several years ago, I asked.
Today, God is filling in the details.
Forever grateful for His love and guidance. Y’all, I am forever in awe of Him.
Also, I must give myself some credit. I am really proud of myself for being obedient and following through. For taking leaps into the unknown. For fully trusting God. Honestly, I’m a bit amazed at myself. I did it. I’m doing it!
Yes, I asked. Now, God’s doing the rest.
Beyond Blessed♥️
I had to laugh when this thought came to mind because I do tend to over share. However, I don’t share everything. Laughing
Here’s what I learned while growing up, a lesson that was reinforced while I was in the military. We make our best moves when we’re silent. Silence and strategy matters. Now, this doesn’t mean I got something cooking.😏😄 I’m just saying everything doesn’t need to be shared.
On a serious note, though—which is something I learned from being too open—not every friendly person is your friend, and not everyone interested in what you’re doing has your best interests at heart. So it’s best to keep some things to yourself. Especially, the things that are dear and close to your heart.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
The work God is doing through you is much greater than you. It’s not only about you.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
On November 17, 2022, I wrote the following in my journal—
“This morning while taking a shower, I could see myself standing before leaders at the UN, an image I’ve seen before. I have no idea what I’m briefing them on or who I’m representing, but I’m there. Now it’s time to be intentional about utilizing what I have and God will add more. I don’t need to know how I’ll get there, I just know that I will.”
When I write about my desire to go to the United Nations, it’s not only because it has been a dream of mine since childhood but because I often see myself there. Y’all, I actually see myself there (at least, that’s where I appear to be). It’s a vision I have had for well over 35 years or more. Over the years, there were times—sometimes years at a time—when I stopped believing in the vision because it seemed too unrealistic. However, there have been other times when the vision has seemed so real that I have taken on opportunities hoping they’d help me reach the vision faster. Well, those opportunities never worked. I wasted a lot of time and money; however, all was not lost. I did gain knowledge, experience, and a few skills I didn’t have before.
Today, I’m more mindful about the oppotunities I pursue and accept—been using more discernment and following God’s guidance. As I wrote two years ago, I don’t need to know how I’ll get there, I only need to know that I will. Right now, my job is to focus on the tasks/assignments at hand, and allow God to do the rest.
Are there dreams/visions God has given you that seem unrealistic or unattainable? If so, how are you handling them? Asking because I really want to know. Smile
I guess I’ll end here. I pray you have a wonderfully, relaxing day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
On November 15, 2018 I shared—
“Here’s today’s social media find. Whatever you’ve been wanting to do, but have been afraid of doing– DO IT! Almost everything I’ve ever done, that’s been life changing, I’ve done it afraid. Don’t wait for the fear to go away. Because it won’t. And forget about what you believe others will think or say (most of the time it’s all in your mind- sometimes not😁). They’re afraid too! That’s why they haven’t made any progress. Lol. Anyhoo.. just do it!!”
Two years ago (November 15, 2022), I shared the quote above—“Fear is only temporary. Regret lasts forever,” and added—
“I’m not sure if regret lasts forever; however, I do know fear is only temporary.
Your vision is clear. Don’t allow fear to stop you from fulfilling your purpose. Do it afraid!”
Y’all, there is so much uncertainty in the world right now, and fear seems to be growing by the day. Question—
Will fear stop us (yes, us… we’re in this together) from moving forward in our purposes?
Hmmm…
Just something to think about.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
In my previous post, I suggested that we should be careful not to tie our dreams to persons, places, or things, but instead to connect them with our passions, values, and the core essence of our dreams. In other words, we should be cautious not to compromise on the intangibles, or become so focused on things that we lose sight of what’s most important. Compromising, or settling for less, only delays our dreams or prevents us from fully living them out. I’m not only writing this for you, but for myself as well.
Side Note:
Lately, God has been instructing me to do things that have required a lot of trust and faith in Him. Although the outcomes have been me doing what I love, I still struggle with following through without being a little apprehensive. Y’all, the unknown can be frightening and somewhat intimidating; however, I am getting better. Believe me, I want the dream!
What I meant to ask before I published my last post was, are you living out your dreams? Not the perfect dream you envisioned, but the principles of your dreams.
That’s all for now. Hope you’re having a great day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
Are you thinking about settling for something less than what you dreamed possible?
Well, here’s what I wrote two years ago and a year ago when I shared this graphic.
Caption from November 14, 2022:
“Have you ever settled because you were too anxious to wait? OR…because you believed that what you were offered was the best you could get? You know– “You better take what you can get.”
Nah! NEVER settle for less than what you desire. Believe me, you’re worth it and more!”
Caption from November 14, 2023:
“Don’t do it.
Don’t settle.
If you’re not careful, temporary decisions can easily become permanent. Be patient and keep waiting. God’s got you.”
Word of advice—based on my experience and the knowledge I’ve gained over the years—be careful not to tie your dreams to persons, places, or things. Instead, connect them with what’s in the core of your heart—your passions, your purpose, your values, and the essence behind your dreams.
If you have been following me for a while, you know that going to the United Nations and working with people from different nations is my ultimate dream. However, the core of that dream is to serve others while spreading love and hope. And guess what? I’m already doing it and am preparing to do more. Y’all, I am living my dream. As I have mentioned in past posts, it looks nothing like I imagined; however, it feels like everything I imagined and more.🥰
Listen, I genuinely believe our dreams are God-given, and they are too important and too dear to settle for anything less. Go after your dreams!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
Today’s post is short and sweet. It’s a question I ask myself from time to time.
“Is what you’re waiting for worth the wait?”
That’s it. That’s the question—just a little something to ponder.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
My affirmation for today is—
I have the patience and capacity to wait for God’s promises. Everything will happen at its appointed time. Trusting God.
I pray you have a blessed day and wonderful Veterans Day weekend!🇺🇸
Love you,
Shaun
I’ve been quiet since this morning. Haven’t had much more to say. It’s when I become quiet and calm that God speaks to me the most. Here’s the message he gave me for today’s journey. It was written in last year’s journal entry.
“My job…LaShaundrea’s job…is to be obedient, focus on my purpose, and pursue it. My dreams are coming to fruition. I just have to stay focused.”
I guess I have my answer and my assignment. I’m listening, God. Staying focused.♥️
It’s Shaun’s World
