My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
I’m truly blessed.🙏🏽♥️
Y’all, I have a hospice training in an hour and I’m now thinking I made the wrong decision to do this. Not sure why I decided to volunteer to do this while watching my mom’s health slowly decline. Please pray for me.

Yesterday I shared the quote, “Humbleness is where ego ends and God begins … Humbleness looks good on you.” I actually shared it a year ago and decided to reshare it yesterday. Little did I know that I would need to take my own advice so soon. Ha! I had no idea I would have to put my ego aside and apologize for unintentionally hurting someone’s feelings.
Everything happened so fast. Words were said out of emotions that seemed to pop up out of nowhere. It was me responding emotionally to something this person – okay, it was my daughter – does all the time, which should not have surprised me. However, it did. Y’all, I am not even sure what triggered me, but the way I responded made her feel like she was being attacked. Honestly, I did not believe I was in the wrong. I felt the way I responded was appropriate and justifiable. However, in the end, we both felt hurt.
After taking a step back and replaying the entire interaction, I actually heard what she was saying. I apologized even though I could not fully understand why she was offended. She then apologized too.
I have this wall hanging that reads, “In this house… we never give up, we say I’m sorry, we like to have fun, we give hugs, we are family.” This basically sums up the tone of our household. It is a tone I intentionally set after my divorce; and it is up to me to make sure it stays this way, even when I’m not feeling it.
Y’all, I did not grow up in a household where apologies were made or anyone’s point of view was taken into consideration. If you felt hurt, that was on you. It has taken me years to break this way of thinking. If I want this world to be a better place, it has to first begin at home.
Again, humbleness is where ego ends and God begins.
Have a blessed week!

Humbleness is where ego ends and God begins. Stay humble.💙 ~ Shaun
Negativity only keeps us in cycles of dysfunction. Let’s change this! Today, we are intentionally blocking negative thoughts, conversations and behaviors. Positive vibes only –all day, EVERY day.
Yes, we are intentionally choosing positivity.♥️ ~ Shaun
Today’s blog is a praise song that came to mind this morning.
Listen, there is none like my God. He will ALWAYS make His presence known. I’m so blessed.
When You Praise by Fred Hammond Source: LyricFind
When you praise, when you praise,
There should be a fire in your heart.
Hands up raised, when you praise,
Consuming every part because you know
The GOD we serve will make
His presence known, when you praise,
When you praise.
(2x)
when we think of how wonderful
And merciful and kind
Our GOD has been to us.
Then we know every glory hallelujah
He deserves, when we praise
(back to chorus 1)
praise will bind, confuse
And break the enemy.
And cause his hands to be still.
So we raise our hands in total victory
We know we triumph in his will.
When we praise, when we praise,
There should be a fire in your heart.
Hands up raised when you praise,
Consuming every part because you know
(chorus)the GOD we serve will make his presence known.
Oh, when we praise, when we praise, when we praise.
Let us praise, let us praise
With fire in our heart
Hands up raised let us praise
Consuming every part because you know
The GOD we serve will make his presence known.
When we praise, when we praise, when we praise
When we praise, when we praise
There is none like you
When you praise, when we praise, when we praise
When we praise, when we praise
Our GOD is an awesome GOD yeah
When we praise, when we praise, when we praise
When we praise, when we praise
Bless the lord oh my soul(repeat X2)
you can put your hands in here tonight if you want to
(continue to “living word”)
Let us praise!
Have a blessed day.♥️

Woke up singing, “O magnify the Lord, for He is worthy to be praised.”
Y’all, I do not know what God has planned, but I do know He’s moving, and He’s moving pretty fast. I have made more connections and achieved more goals in the last month than I have over the past few years. It’s so amazing to see. It’s like I’m starring in my own movie and watching it at the same time. How cool is that?!
Anyhoo… Let me get up and get going. I have things to do. It feels so good to once again be doing the things I love. Smiling
God is so good and so worthy to be praised. Amen
Praying you have a wonderful Wednesday! Will talk to you soon.♥️
