As the day comes to an end, relax and release all your worries. Rest in God. He has everything covered, including you.♥️

Freedom Fridays (2)
Welcome back to “Freedom Fridays”!
Today, I am releasing myself from the guilt and shame of not completing the DrPH (Doctor of Public Health) program. I may have been pursuing the degree for the wrong reasons, but I still wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. Yes, I must let the guilt and shame go. God has other plans—plans I don’t yet see—but I know He does.🙏🏽
Hello Sunday
Good Morning!☀️
Lately, I have been a little more emotional than usual. It took me a minute to figure out why, and I finally have. A rebirth is happening. At least, that’s what it feels like.
Some may think what I’m about to say is weird, and it’s perfectly fine, but the timing of “The Six Triple Eight” movie and my daughter’s upcoming 30th birthday are so intertwined. The 30 years hit me while I was visiting her a week ago. Then, seeing the movie this weekend brought back memories of my experiences in the military around the time of her birth (almost 30 years ago) and the first few years of her life. Y’all, I’ve been crying nonstop this weekend. It feels like I am finally releasing everything I have held in for decades—the stress, uncertainties, and pressure I placed on myself to be a great mother to a child who did not ask to be here. I chose to bring her into this world, which meant I was responsible for making sure she always felt loved, protected, supported, and never like a burden. Those were the things I needed as a child, and I was determined to make sure she had them. And then the song “The Journey” by H.E.R. gets me every time I hear it. Y’all, these past 30 years have definitely been a journey.
Here’s what AI had to say about 30 years—
“It can be a turning point in a person’s life or a time when a historical event’s long-term effects can be seen. … It can be a time when someone realizes who they are, gains self-awareness.”
Whewwww… y’all, this is a lot.
I now realize that 30 years ago, I shut down part of my life to become the best mom I could be, and I know exactly when it happened. That’s a story for another time. Last week, I finally saw the woman my baby girl has become and know that my mission has been achieved. Now it’s time for me to live.
My life definitely changed 30 years ago, and I have absolutely no regrets—I never have. I just adjusted. Seeing my baby girl’s smile today lets me know all my sacrifices were worth it.
Here are two pictures… A lot can change in a year.
What a journey…
Thanks for allowing me space to exhale and release. I pray you have a glorious Sunday!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Releasing the Limits
I KNOW y’all probably think I’m a little loony because of the way I praise and interact with God, but I promise you I’m not. This connection I have with Him is surreal.
I shared my last post, “Welcome to Freedom Fridays,” almost 3 hours ago. How about I just opened YouTube, and the first sermon was Pastor Steven Furtick’s message “Freedom From What’s Holding You Back,” which was posted five hours ago, hours before I wrote my post. Well, it gets even better! Y’all, why was he talking about the limits we keep placing on God and how they’re holding us back?! In my post, I wrote, “I’m releasing the limits I’ve placed on myself and the ones I have placed on God.” I had no idea he had already preached this in a sermon. Talk about confirmation! So, yes, the limits must go!
You see, this is why I have to write more. Soooo much happens between posts. So many testimonies and revelations to be shared. Listen, get you a relationship with God. He’s so amazing!!
Love you!♥️

Welcome to Freedom Fridays!
What are you releasing today?
Me… Limits! I’m releasing the limits I’ve placed on myself and the ones I have placed on God.
How about you?🤍 ~Shaun
Tiny Successes
Facebook Memory: December 20, 2021
I believe successes are just like blessings; no matter the size, each should be acknowledged and celebrated.
Each success means that you are one step closer to achieving your dreams. I know the tiny ones may feel like drops in a huge bucket that seem impossible to fill. Believe me, I am right there with you. However, I also believe that one day, that bucket will overflow with success. You just have to keep filling it. You must stop looking at the size of the bucket—it’s a distraction. Instead, lean into the size of your God. With Him, what might be considered a tiny success could be enough to fill that one bucket, then some. But the only way you’ll know is if you keep going and keep adding to the bucket—adding to your dreams.
Please, do not give up. Keep going. The impossible is possible with God.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
P.S. I’m ditching my posting schedule. It’s way too limiting. I have too much to share in between scheduled times that never gets posted. As I have said before, some people make videos, I write. Looking forward to sharing more!
Hmmm… I think I just reached another level of freedom.
Welcome to my world!😘
My Journey With God, No. 30
Was feeling some kind of way for not feeling bad about a situation. Was beginning to think I was being heartless. Even stopped what I was doing to check myself. Decided to read a past journal entry written on this day and the message I needed was right there as plain as day!
Here’s what I wrote on December 2, 2017—
“The lesson I learned is never fight more for someone than they are willing to fight for themselves. NEVER!”
On that particular day, I was putting my career on the line for someone who didn’t even want to work with us. I assumed he was being treated unfairly. Come to find out he was doing the bare minimum and couldn’t wait to leave.
Sometimes when people aren’t fighting for themselves it’s not because they don’t know how, sometimes it’s because they don’t want to. Do what you can, then step back and let them continue on their own. If they want to succeed, believe me, they will.♥️

Good Night (11)
Of course our body needs rest, but so does our mind. As we wind down for the night, let’s release any lingering thoughts and/or problems that have held us captive all day.
Release and relax.
As Elsa says, “Let it go.”
Let’s let it all go so we can get some real, much needed rest.
Wishing you love and peace.♥️
Good Night,
Shaun
Hello Sunday
Wise words from last year… and I wrote them. Smile
Facebook Memory: April 28, 2022
Set yourself free! Release past hurts, guilt, disappointments and shame. Harboring even the smallest resentment can make it difficult to receive and enjoy blessings. Release opens doors for receiving love, joy, opportunities, and success. Let go and be free!
It’s true, if you want your life to change for the better, you have to let things go. Holding on to past hurts, grudges, disappointments, and even shame, only hurts you. It also stops you from fully growing and receiving all of God’s wonderful blessings. Listen, I don’t know about you, but I don’t only want some of my blessings. No… l want all of my blessings. Every last single one. Smile. Let it go!
On another note— My daughter came home yesterday for her friends’ wedding and is leaving this afternoon. So, I am going to spend as much time as I can loving on her before she leaves. Smiling
Praying you have a wonderful Sunday!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Open The Bottle
Have you been limiting God? Limiting Him to only what you see, know, and have experienced? If so…STOP! Stop limiting Him. He’s not a genie, but you have Him confined to a bottle as if He were one. Instead of allowing Him to work freely, you have limited Him to what you believe you want. The funny thing is, God already knows what you need to reach your fullest potential. And whatever that might be, may not even be on your radar at this moment. Remember, God knows and sees all.
Listen, I am receiving this message as I write. It’s definitely for me too! Whew!!
Open the bottle and let God free! Let Him do His thing! I promise you, you will not be disappointed.
I don’t know about you, but I’m excited!
Thanking God for loving me like only He can. I am definitely blessed. Y’all, I needed this revelation.♥️
