My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Life is definitely one interesting ride. If you really want to live, buckle up!♥️ ~Shaun
Facebook Memory: April 29, 2022
Welcome to this ride called, Life! Life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, highs and lows. Just when you think you have things figured out, you discover you don’t. My advice– Buckle up and go with the flow. TRUST GOD. He’s ALWAYS in control!
Here’s a memory from five years ago—
Facebook Memory: April 28, 2019
Happy Sunday! Here’s today’s social media find. Remember, you have been planted, not buried. You may not be where you thought you’d be by now, and things may not be going as planned. It’s okay. Don’t give up on your dreams, or settle where you are. Your time is coming. You WILL bloom!
As SpongeBob SquarePants would say—
FIVE YEARS LATER…
Yes, it’s been five years and I am still saying the same thing, “Your time is coming.” Also, when I made the original post, I added the hashtags “BePatient,” “GodIsWorking,” “TrustGodsTiming,” and “YourTimeIsComing.”
I know you may feel like the journey has already been much too long. Yeah, I feel it too. However, instead of focusing on the length of time it is taking, think about all of the knowledge and experience you have gained over the years. Think about God’s protection from things that may have destroyed you. Think about all of the beautiful connections you have made, and the ones you had to release. And don’t forget the healing and growth that has taken place. When I tell you your purpose is too great for anything to happen prematurely. Believe me, you are going to bloom…when it’s time. Not a moment too soon or too late, but when it’s your time. Until then, enjoy life and all of God’s blessings and lessons along the way. Love you!♥️

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
Many, many moons ago, I ended my Yahoo emails with the following message:
Trust + Patience = Peace
Circa 2013/2014
“Enjoy Life 💖”
Never once considered that would be the message I would live by.
Trust: I trust God’s love, guidance, and protection. I know He has me in His hands. I’m covered.
Patience: Whew! Never knew I could be so patient, but God did.
Peace: There is nothing like it. I was right. Trust and patience, together, lead to peace.
and…
That last part… “Enjoy Life💖” is my daily goal. Life is short, and I try my best not to waste time in negative spaces or feelings.
Y’all, I am so grateful and blessed that God loves me. He leaves behind the tiniest of gems for me to find when they are needed the most. It’s those gems that keep me trusting Him and His word. It’s those gems that keep me going.♥️
Welcome to my world…

In last year’s blog post I wrote— “You do not have to know where God is taking you; just trust Him to lead.”
Listen, God is the Master of plot twists. For years, you can think your life is headed in one direction only to have it shift in another. I have finally learned to stop trying to guess where He’s taking me—which I now realize was a form of control on my end—and just allow Him to move as He sees fit. All I do now is say, “I see You, God,” and keep on moving. I know He has me in His hands; and wherever He’s taking me is somewhere wonderfully beautiful because He loves me and I trust Him.
My advice. Trust God to lead. Release control and let Him take you wherever He’s taking you—because He’s going to do it anyway. Smile. Resisting only causes unnecessary stress and anxiety. As they say, “Let go and let God.” He knows what’s best and He’s got you! Love you!♥️

Last year’s blog post:
Y’all, I was dead set on not using a Facebook memory from this day for my posts. Well, I guess it’s not about my plans. Being obedient. Laughing
So, I just read my journal entry from two years ago (April 26, 2022) looking for inspiration for this post and it led me right back to the Facebook memory I wasn’t going to share. Here’s what I wrote:
Shaun’s Journal Entry: April 26, 2022
Anyway, last night I was lead to read last year’s journal entry from April 25, 2021 which referred to April 26, 2015. The word was definitely for me – I Believe and God Knows. For almost two weeks or more the song, Believe For It has been stuck in my head and the word “believe” has been on my conscience for days. So when I read “I believe,” I knew this message was for me. So that’s what I shared as today’s quote, “Believe. It’s already done.” I have to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it’s done. Period.
And here’s the Facebook memory from that day.
Facebook Memory: April 26, 2022
Believe it’s already done.
OR.. Believe. It’s already done. Listen, that period makes a difference. It’s assurance that whatever you’re believing for IS already done. You may not see it yet, but it’s done. So stop worrying and start living. It’s done!
Have a blessed rest of the day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
As Smokie Norful says, drown out the noise—because sometimes it is a bit loud—so you can hear God’s voice. Then, focus on what’s most important to you. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun
You don’t have to wait. You already have everything you could possibly need at this moment. It doesn’t have to be perfect or polished. Just start where you are, and God will gently guide you through the rest. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun
Facebook Memory: April 25, 2023
Never give up on your dreams. Endure the process.♥️
Yesterday, or the day before, it was, “Trust the process.” Today’s Facebook memory is, “Endure the process.” Listen, whatever that process is, you have to go through it. There’s no way around it.
Don’t you dare give up! Your purpose is too great!!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Obedience is key to contentment and peace. I believe most people understand what it means to be at peace, but I do not know if many understand the concept of contentment—the state of happiness and satisfaction. I have heard people associate contentment with settling, or the lack of ambition; however, being content is so much more. For me, it’s waking up knowing that God is in control and has me in His hands. That whatever comes or goes, He’s got me. In no way does it mean that I have settled for what is, nor does it mean I do not desire more. No, it means I’m good. I am finally happy with my life.
This morning, I was reminded that I asked for both, peace and contentment; and that’s exactly what I have been gifted. My obedience has afforded me these gifts and I refuse to let them go. I have learned that I don’t have to have all of the answers, or completely understand the assignment to make moves. All I have to do is be obedient and follow God’s guidance, and He will do the rest.
Loving this space I am in. I’m blessed.♥️ ~Shaun
