My Purpose
Facebook Memory, August 11, 2022
“My purpose is God affirmed.🙌🏽 The world will always need more love, light, peace and positivity, and that’s exactly what I plan to give.♥️”
That’s my purpose. I didn’t choose it. It’s who I am.
Have you discovered your purpose? If so, did you choose it or did it choose you?
Hmmm…
Well, that’s all. Please continue to enjoy your day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Customized Purpose
Hello! I shared the following message below in July 2021. This morning it popped up in my Facebook stories so I decided to share it.
Not only are our blessings customized, but so are our purposes. Listen, we all have our own unique purpose. I have a purpose that only I can fulfill, and same with you. I know it may feel like everyone is doing the same thing so why even bother. But do bother! Please do!! Go ahead with your ideas. God gave them to you because you have a purpose to fulfill. There are people you can reach and connect with that others cannot (learned this from watching my fav). Your unique twist may be something that clicks or resonates with someone. So, please move forward with what God has put in your heart. Believe me, someone is waiting for what you have to give.♥️
Love you,
Shaun

Questions I Asked Myself
Hello! How are you? Yep, I’m speaking first. Smile. You are much too important for me not too. Believe me, you really do matter.💕
While reading past journal entries, which I do pretty often, I came across a few questions I had asked myself. I was in the process of addressing a few hurts and making this side of 50 different from the last. Although I did not have an answer for them at that time, and some I am still working on, I began to intentionally observe the things that were happening around me and to me, and how they were affecting my life.
Here’s what I asked myself:
1. What is it about me that the devil does not want to succeed?
2. What does God have for me that is so great that I must stay broken so that it will not happen?
3. Where do I see myself if I do not heal?
Several posts ago I wrote, “Healing begins when we acknowledge our pain.” I saw the future of the unhealed version of me and the future of the healed version, and decided I wanted the healed version. Which meant I had to push through the pain.
Now, just being transparent, I am still a work in progress. Just like weight gain and weight loss, neither happens overnight. Both happen gradually. And for those who happen to lose it fast, if their behavior doesn’t change and their mindset isn’t right, the change won’t last. I want my healing to last so I am putting in the work to make it happen. The successful, healed version that the devil does not want to succeed is my goal.
Have you had to ask yourself similar questions? Just asking because I know I can’t be the only one who has needed to heal, or is healing.
Be Blessed!♥️

Hello Sunday
Hello! I’m hoping you’re doing well. I realize I haven’t greeted you in ages, which is pretty rude of me. It’s like me walking into a room and not speaking, or waking up and not saying “Good Morning.” Please forgive me for not acknowledging you before sharing my thoughts. I promise to do better and not only let you know you are loved at the end, but that your presence is appreciated at the beginning.
So, while looking for inspiration for this post, I found this prayer in one of my “Wednesday Writings” (July 21, 2021). It is one I haven’t said in a while or been mindful of. Here it is —
“I pray that I recognize and accept the opportunities He [God] sends my way. I pray fear does not stop me from moving forward. I pray God gives me the strength– mentally, spiritually and physically– to endure this task.”
I ended it with —
“I know God’s got me, but do I have myself?”
Hmmm…
That was a great question. Did I have myself? Well, I thought I did, and to some extent I did. However, I was still working through a lot of stuff. One of which was learning to put myself first. To stop overlooking my needs, desires, and feelings to appease others. That was in 2021. Today, I can’t say I am 100% there; however, I am pretty close (95-98%). Had to get over the guilt of feeling selfish. The interesting part is the ones who mattered the most, my two hearts, were the ones urging me to take care of myself, first. Maybe they are actually the reason for my growth. I just love them and the way they love me. I guess I said all of that to say, “Yes, I got me!”
I also found another gem in the post (besides the prayer). I was celebrating my continual days of writing. Here’s what I wrote —
“I’m on my 67th day of continuous blogging and refuse to stop until I reach 100 days.”
100 days…
100 days was my goal…
Y’all, I’m in tears! Today makes 1170 days of continuous blogging. And to think I was only trying to make it to 100. Back then I was struggling to post once a day. Now, I’m posting at least twice a day, and not only on this platform but others. Yep… I’m crying. I had no idea of what I was capable of. It may not seem significant to you but it’s huge to me. These are my 1170 blue hearts.💙
I’m going to go ahead and end here because I’m crying (tears of praise and gratitude) too much to keep writing. Praying you have a wonderful Sunday. ♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Chosen Vessel
So, my own YouTube Short was the first video that popped up when I opened the app. Smiling because I actually left a message for my future self to see at this very moment. I just love how God works. And maybe…just maybe…it was also left for me to share it with you.
You are God’s chosen vessel. As Marvin Sapp sings—
You are my chosen vessel
You are anointed for this season in time
What people rejected
I have accepted
I am with you, you are mine
You are mine
Yes, YOU were chosen by God for this specific season in time. What people have rejected, God has accepted. How awesome is that.☺️
Praying you have a pleasant night.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
