My Journey With God, No. 46

Happy New Year, again!🥂

Sitting here trying to reflect on my 2024, but everything seems a blur. I have journal entries and posts marking moments, but everything seems to have happened without a thought. As if I just flowed through it—which is what I asked for, right? I mean, I did say I just wanted to go with the flow. Laughing because God will give you exactly what you ask for. Gotta love life…

Now, don’t get me wrong, I had many memorable moments, but nothing was a real highlight. So, maybe I need to change my ask this year. This year, I don’t want to just go with the flow. This year I want to experience the spectacular! This year, I want to make memories and moves that I will be talking about for ages.

A week or so before the year ended, I said I was taking the limits off myself and God. Well, they’re off, and I’m challenging myself to stretch beyond what’s familiar and comfortable. I started implementing a few changes before 2024 ended. Ready to see where they take me!♥️ ~Shaun

Shaun, I’m rooting for you, Girl! I got you and God’s definitely got you! Happy 2025!🥂

Quick Reminder

It’s Self-love Saturday!

Reminder:

You are enough. Yes, YOU! God knew who you would be at this very moment in time. Accept His grace and rest in the fact that you are enough as you are.♥️

Love you,

Keep Smiling

Good Morning!☀️

For a few days now, “Smile, you are loved” has been the message. And you are loved, so smile. However, there are also other reasons to smile. For one, God has your back. You can always count on Him. Another is that He provided you with the Holy Spirit to be your personal guide, confidant, and intercessor, and He has placed angels around you for your protection. All reasons to smile. Also, if you are reading this, I believe it’s safe to say you’ve been blessed with the gift of sight.

I said all this to say there’s always a reason to smile. So smile.

Oh…and your smile might be the reason someone else smiles.

So, again, smile.🥰


I pray you have a wonderful day and beautiful weekend.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Three O’clock Reminder

I just love my 3:00 reminder. I am God’s child and I am loved. Today’s mantra is, “Letting go and letting God.”♥️

Smile, you are loved and you’re God’s child.🥰

What’s your mantra for today?

Keep Shining Bright

That shine looks good on you!

Every time you dim your light, you betray yourself and minimize the glow God has placed inside you. Let your God-given light shine through and let it shine bright!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Today’s A New Day

Good Morning!☀️

Today’s a new day—a fresh start. It’s an opportunity to do things better than I did yesterday. Today, I will be kind to myself, and I will give myself grace and space to be human…because I am human.☺️

On another note…

I will be changing my posting schedule to allow for a few more hours of sleep. For years, my most productive time has been early morning, so my current schedule worked. However, now that I have more activities scheduled throughout the day, I must make sure I have enough energy and rest to accomplish them. I’m not as young as I used to be (I’m just facing the facts) and need to adjust accordingly. I must be able to perform at my best at all times. No half-stepping!


Well, this is all I have for now. Thank you for reading. I’m not sure what my new posting schedule will look like, just know that there will always be a “Good Morning” post because I love good mornings.

Love you!♥️

Be Kind To Yourself

A little bit of kindness goes a long way. Have you been kind to yourself lately?


Remember to be kind and gentle with yourself. Nothing in life ever remains the same. You are growing and evolving like everyone else and deserve just as much grace. So please, be kind to yourself.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Love Is…

Good Morning!☀️

1 Corinthians 13:4–8 (NIV)

4. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

6. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

7. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8. Love never fails. …

Love always wins.

I keep hearing, “Love always wins when we let love in.” So, I guess that’s also a message. Smile

Well, that’s all for now. I pray you have a wonderful day and blessed week.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Always remember who you are and Whose you are.

Originally shared on December 26, 2023.

Never forget YOU are God’s child—hand crafted and uniquely made—royalty. There’s no other like you. Remember who He created you to be and boldly walk in it.


I pray you have a beautiful Sunday. Again, boldly walk in who you are!

Love you!♥️

Smile, You Are Loved

In case no one has told you today, you are loved. Never, ever doubt that you are. God loves you, and I love you, too.♥️

So… Smile,

Shaun
