I will always believe in a world capable of unity, love, peace, kindness, compassion, empathy, equity, and joy. To not believe opens the doors to hopelessness and despair.
Keeping hope and optimism alive.♥️
My Journey With God, No. 14

Hello Sunday
Good Morning.☀️
Y’all, I am finally starting to socialize more, and lately it’s been with my fellow veterans. This year, I have attended at least four events, including a small social I attended last night in honor of Veterans Day. Typically, I attend one every other year. However, this year is different—maybe my age has something to do with it (Giggles). This year, I am finally fully embracing my veteran status. I realize I belong to a very special community, and it’s a community I look forward to serving, as well as serving with.
Here’s a picture of me with one of my favorite veterans and friends, Mrs. Raylawni Branch. She’s a retired Air Force nurse and a pillar in our community. I always have a great time when we’re together.
So far, my Veterans Day weekend has been pretty good. Not sure what I’ll do today. However, tomorrow, which is Veterans Day, is when the real fun begins. People treat us so well on Veterans Day. Smiling
Are you a veteran? If so, what are your plans for tomorrow?
Mine—Breakfast at IHOP, lunch at Olive Garden or Chili’s, and I’m not sure about dinner yet.☺️
Well, that’s all for now. It’s raining good (which is why I’m posting a little late) and I am about to turn over and go back to sleep.
Love you!♥️

Hello Sunday
Good Morning!☀️
We may not always understand what God is doing or why He has us go through certain things. However, I have learned that, at times, He gives us glimpses of possible answers. Yesterday, I received one of those glimpses. It was a glimpse of a promise, of a dream God had given me ages ago. All He ever asked of me was to trust Him completely, be obedient, and follow His lead; and I did—not always perfectly, but did (and I’m still doing).
Yes, yesterday, I received a much-needed glimpse at what God is doing and where He’s taking me. Of course, I’m not privy to the entire picture (I’ve learned to accept this), but what I see is enough to let me know I am heading in the right direction and that my dream is still intact.
Today, I am thankful for connections I made decades ago that have somehow come full circle (one of the speakers from yesterday’s event was someone I met during undergrad over 20 years ago). Thankful for recent connections (made within the past few months) that have encouraged and inspired me to push beyond my limits. Everything that has happened has been done in a way only God knew I would undoubtedly receive—from the people He placed in my path to the opportunities I have been given. I am forever amazed at how well He knows me! I know…He’s God. Smile
Y’all, I can’t stress it enough how I really did need for yesterday to happen, and to happen the way that it did. Even what I considered hiccups, needed to happen.
I just love the way God loves me.🥰
Thank you so much for reading and following my journey to becoming the person God’s created me to be. I pray you have a wonderful Sunday and extraordinary week!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Born To Soar
On October 27, 2017, I updated my Facebook cover with the photo above. It’s a great reminder that I was born to soar. God wouldn’t have it any other way.
In case you forgot, you were also born to soar. Smile♥️
Love you,
Shaun
You Are STILL Standing
Guess what?! You know that thing you thought would take you out; that thing you didn’t think you would ever bounce back from. Yeah… THAT thing. Well… Look at you! You’re still here and STILL standing!!
Yessss…. YOU’RE STILL STANDING!!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Hello Sunday
Happy Sunday, y’all!☀️
Our mental and emotional wellbeing matters just as much as our physical and spiritual. Be sure to surround yourself with people, thoughts, and media (of all kinds) that protect and promote your wellbeing. Remember, you matter, first. You cannot fully pour into others if you’re mentally and emotionally depleted.
Two years ago, I shared the following—
“They say it’s not the water around the boat that sinks it, but the water that gets inside. My prayer for you today is that the water – drama, chaos, dysfunction, bad vibes – remains outside your boat. The goal is to protect your mental health.”
Again, your mental and emotional wellbeing are of utmost importance. Protect both.
I pray you have a wonderful Sunday. Stay afloat!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
