One More Find

I was debating whether to share another find or not, but hey, why not?! Especially since I’m drawing/creating my background for tomorrow’s quote/message.

Three years ago, I started my drawing journey, or Shaun’s Smile. At first, I tried drawing faces and profile pictures. As you’ll see, those didn’t turn out well, so I finally focused on flowers.

Here’s where it started.

Shaun’s Smile March 7-11, 2022

My drawings in 2023 were hit and miss, but better. Today, I believe they‘ve greatly improved. I’m satisfied with the progress I’m making. I know it’ll get better with time.♥️

You Are Loved

Just piggybacking off of my earlier post. Wanted to share my YouTube video with you. Smile

My goal is to create more animated videos. The stills are fine, but I like movement. Soon, I’ll have the timing right so that everything flows with the music. The problem is I typically choose the music after I have already created the video. Yesterday, I deleted and re-uploaded a video because I found a better song on TikTok. This caused me to lose the few views I already had. It’s definitely a learning process. Anyhoo… Can’t wait to compare these videos with next year’s. Praying they are 100x better. Okay… 10x better. Smile.

Y’all, God is working.♥️ ~Shaun

And of course I am taking my drawings along with me. They will be included in the majority of my work. ~ Shaun’s Smile

Stronger, Wiser & Blessed

How I’m feeling this morning—

I woke up in the morning feeling fresh to death
I’m so blessed, yes yes
I went to sleep stressed, woke up refreshed
I’m so blessed, yeah yes
Water in my face and everything is in it’s place
Peace of mind even my grace
I’m so blessed, yes yes yes

And… blessed. Life must go on. There is so much more to do. Living and loving every minute of my Year50. It’s definitely shaping me into the woman I am becoming.

Praying you have a wonderfully, blessed day. Love you!♥️ Shaun

Keep God First

Keep God first. Not second. Not third. Not as a last resort. First!

Keep Him first in both good and bad times. Most importantly, honor Him just as strongly when you get what you prayed for as you did while you were praying. First!♥️ ~ Shaun

Keep God first and everything else will fall into place.

Do Not Quit—I Repeat, Do Not Quit

Facebook Memory: September 17, 2022

Keep moving. You’ve come too far to give up on your dreams, goals and purpose. Just because you can’t see or feel God working, doesn’t mean He isn’t. Imagine if you were to quit today and tomorrow everything was set to fall in place. Again– Keep moving!♥️

A word! Now is not the time to quit. Even though you can’t see or feel anything happening, know that God is working. It will happen!

The Grace of God

Facebook Memory: September 16, 2022

Where would you be without God’s grace?♥️ ~ Shaun

I am so grateful for God’s grace and His love.

Too many times I stepped out on my own and He still loved me enough to steer me back where I belonged. He didn’t shame me, belittle me, make me feel like trash, or cause some tragedy to happen to get my attention. No, He lovingly guided me back. That’s grace.

Y’all have a blessed weekend. Love you!♥️

Rejoice!

Knowing that God is always working on our behalf and that He never stops loving us, makes me rejoice.♥️

Knowing that God’s got me makes me rejoice. I just love how He loves me.
