Hello Sunday

“Beyond Blessed“ was the theme I chose for Year51. At the time, I had looked back over the previous 50 years and realized how blessed I was and still am. I stated that I was, “Speaking life, love, peace, joy, optimal health, success, prosperity, and blessings over this next year and beyond.” So, today’s Facebook memory goes perfectly with my theme and statement.

Everything I touch is and will be blessed. Everything! Because I am speaking life and blessings over them. Amen

Facebook Memory: July 21, 2023

Everything YOU touch is blessed. Everything… ♥️

It’s still true today!

Please remember this, especially when it doesn’t feel like it. Everything you’re currently touching and everything you will touch in the future is and will be blessed. Everything! Amen

Praying you have a wonderfully, blessed day!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Sweet Jesus, I’m Still Here!

That’s how my journal entry from July 20, 2017 started, “Sweet Jesus, I’m still here!” I was praising God despite what I was going through at the time. And after reading that particular entry, that basically spelled out everything I was dealing with, I had to humble myself and thank God for where I am today. Y’all, I made it!

The things I am currently dealing with are nowhere in comparison with what I was going through back then. Honestly, I feel embarrassed about my complaints. God has brought me through some very tough times, and I’m still here!

Please forgive me, Lord, for not being as grateful as I should’ve been. Amen


A couple of weeks ago, I was notified that I had won a ticket to a Paint & Chat (too early for sipping) event. Here’s what I painted and what I decided to recreate moments ago, digitally. I needed that painting session yesterday and to meet new people. It was very therapeutic.☺️

Not the same but it only took less than 15 minutes to draw. Will redraw another time.

I pray you have a wonderful day and fabulous weekend. Love ya!♥️

HA! This Is How God Answers

Soooo….

This is how God usually responds when I need an answer or encouragement. I never know where or how the message will come but it does, AND it always comes when I am receptive. He never answers while I’m so in my feelings that I am not able to receive the message.

Although I need to feel and process any negative emotions I might be having at the moment, I also cannot remain down. That’s just something I don’t believe He ever intended. Feel the emotions, but don’t wallow in them. Feel. Process. Then keep it going. That is the process.

Here’s an excerpt from last year’s journal entry. The message is exactly what I needed after how I have been feeling lately.

Yes, God really does love me. He is always on time.

I had to go find Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts’ video, “Burning Evidence.” I believe this is God’s way of nudging me to revisit it. Y’all, He’s so smooth. I’m providing the link in case you would like to listen too. Be blessed!♥️ ~ Shaun
