Submit and Commit to the Process
Short story…
When I was a teen, I wanted to play the piccolo. My sister and one of the girls at church played the flute. Well, I did not want to be like them (always had to be difficult different). I wanted to play the piccolo. Everyone I asked about how I should get started said that I would have to learn to play the flute first. Y’all, I wasn’t even in band or interested in playing other instruments, but I was drawn to the piccolo. I believe it was because it was so tiny and cute. I’m a sucker for tiny, cute things. Well, starting with the flute was not going to happen so I never played the piccolo. One day I’m just going to buy one and teach myself to play. That’s what YouTube is for, right? Laughing
Anyhoo… this is how my life has been since as far back as I can remember. I want what I want and I want it how I want it. Don’t judge me. Over time I have gotten better. Listen, I hate all of the in between stuff. I say I love watching God work (the progression) in my life; however, sometimes I feel He can skip a few steps. Y’all, my patience for getting from points A to Z is very short. Not sure if it’s my attention span (because I swear I have ADHD), or if I am just impatient. Either way… at 50 years old… I am finally completely submitting to God’s plan (I might get sidetracked every now and then– Lol) and following all of His steps. If I want XYZ, I have to go through the entire process. Y’all, I have to stop being so stubborn. Ugh!
My mantra for this current season is “I am submitting and committing to the process.”
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Love you.♥️

Expect the Unexpected
Blessings are headed your way! Expect the unexpected.♥️ ~Shaun
Stay Protected
Just because your intentions are pure doesn’t mean everyone else’s are. Stay true to who you are and keep doing what you do. Use your God-given discernment to stay protected. In other words, if it doesn’t feel right, it’s not right.♥️ ~Shaun
Life and Relationships Are Priceless
Just returned home from visiting my dad and bonus mom. My momma – which is what I have always called my bonus mom – is not doing well. She’s telling everyone that she is, but she’s not. I took her to her doctor’s appointment Monday and she was diagnosed with one thing. Then, after we left, she began telling me about another issue she was having, which she failed to mention to the doctor.
When we returned home, I listened as she told my dad what the doctor had said. It took her forever to explain her diagnosis so I went on and told him. However, before interjecting, I waited to see how they typically communicated these issues with each other. Wanted to know what happened when I wasn’t around. From previous events, I knew that neither went into exam rooms with the other so they only told each other what they wanted the other to know. This breaks my heart because I really do not know the extent of their illnesses. The only reason the doctor knew what to check for during this visit was because I provided information that my mom failed to provide. Knowing that I didn’t even have all of the information about her symptoms makes me sad.
I was suppose to come home Tuesday, but decided to stay an extra day to see if she felt any better. Then, when I got ready to leave yesterday, they both asked if I could stay one more day and I did. Today, I didn’t want to leave them. Instead of feeling like I was leaving my parents, I felt like I was leaving my kids. They looked so sad.
Y’all, life is so, so precious and so are relationships. Cherish both. When I first got there all I could think about were things I needed to do so I could get back home. Couldn’t fully focus on my parents because everything I was doing was task driven. Those extra two days put everything in perspective. The message – I was on God’s time. He allowed me that time to be with them and love on them. Over the last few years, God has made it possible for me to be available whenever any of them (including my late mom) needed me. Believe me, I know that I am blessed. I know there aren’t too many people who can just drop everything to take care of their parents and not have to worry about things at home. Y’all, when God promised to take care of me, He meant it. So, I must always remember that whenever I have to stop to take care of them, it’s because God has blessed me so that I can do so.
Y’all, love and relationships are priceless. Make sure you hold them very dear. Love you.♥️ ~Shaun
