The Adventure Ahead

This particular Facebook memory basically sums up what I began feeling a few days ago—I am on the brink of another adventure. These past several years have been somewhat calm but confusing at times. Well, the confusion is slowly starting to fade and everything is beginning to make sense. I’m not going to lie, I am both excited and anxious. Not sure what lies ahead; however, as I said four years ago, I have God on my side. Everything will be fine.

I used to tell people how much I LOVED adventures. Then I went on a ride that was way too adventurous for me. Whew!! But God!

This post reminded me that life IS an adventure, and some are way more challenging than others. However, by keeping our focus on GOD, we’re guaranteed to make it through. I’m a witness! I made it!!🙌🏽

Sooo… am I ready for my next adventure? How can I not be? God is on my side.

I’m ready!

That’s all for now. Praying you have a wonderful week. Love you!♥️

I’m Listening God

Can’t help but laugh because all while I was writing my last post, now deleted, I kept hearing Bishop Jakes’ message from this morning, “The Theology of Quietness,” subtopic: “The Silence of The Lamb.” My post wasn’t bad, I just didn’t need to share it. I should have shared this instead.

Three things the enemy is after:

1) Your power.

2) Your purpose.

3) Your prowess.

I’m listening God!

Here’s Bishop T. D. Jakes’ message, “The Theology of Quietness.”

I keep telling y’all God loves me. So thankful for His guidance.♥️

Trust Yourself and Time

The day before yesterday, I shared that I felt mentally and emotionally drained (see Stay Strong | Stay Focused). I said I wondered what would happen if I no longer wanted to be strong or focused. What would happen to my world? Thankfully, the feeling only lasted a moment.

As I shared two years ago in my Facebook post below, sometimes our current situation doesn’t reflect what we envisioned. What I did not share in “Stay Strong | Stay Focused” is that when I reviewed my Facebook memories that morning, I kept seeing posts I made about being in Switzerland at the United Nations. Said I was going to share a specific post every year until it came to fruition, and that post was posted five or six years ago. So, besides other things, I was also down about that. Then, God stepped in. He wouldn’t let me have a pity party. And I am glad He didn’t because I probably would have stayed home and missed out on several connections I made that day at the Paint & Chat event. I may not be where I envisioned, but I’m moving in that direction. Although I did not share my UN post this year, I am not giving up on my dream. As I said in the post below, God wouldn’t have given me the dream if it wasn’t achievable. Learning to lean on Him even more and follow His guidance.♥️ ~Shaun

Maybe your current situation doesn’t reflect what you envisioned so you feel a need to give up. Please don’t. Work through the uncomfortable moments. God would not have given you the dream if it couldn’t be achieved. You are already equipped to make it happen.♥️

God gave you the dream, which means you can achieve it.
