Hello Sunday

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I pray that you’re well.🌸

By the way—Welcome to my Birthday Month!😌🎉


For those who don’t know, I LOVE celebrating my birthdays, and I usually celebrate the entire month of June. So, if you don’t like people being extra, you may need to mute me because I tend to celebrate any and everything. Lol. Listen, if a butterfly happens to cross my path and I smile (all it takes is a smile), baby, that’s God’s gift to me and ONLY me.☺️ Yeah… prepare to be sick of me.

I love life.

I love my birthdays.

And I absolutely love my God.

Now that I’m getting older, every day and every year I’m alive feels more and more special. Just knowing that I am still here, and that I am surrounded by love, makes my heart sing praises to my God. Father, I thank You.🙏🏽

The theme I chose for Year51 was “Beyond Blessed,” and I am blessed. I am truly, truly blessed. I’m not sure what this coming year’s theme will be. I still have a few weeks to come up with something. Until then, I hope you’ll stick around and celebrate my month with me. And to everyone celebrating a birthday in June—Happy Birthday Month to YOU! Let’s celebrate!!🎉

I pray you have the most amazing day! May it be filled with pure, unconditional love, indescribable peace, and an abundance of joy. YOU deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Be Mindful Of Your Whispers

Shared on May 25, 2023

I agree with the author of the quote above. Not only do the things you whisper to yourself—especially when you are alone—have the greatest impact on your life, but they also influence how you move and embrace your authenticity. Be mindful of what you whisper to yourself. Make sure your whispers are always loving, kind, uplifting, and encouraging. In case you forgot, you deserve love from YOU, too.♥️

I love you much,

Shaun

Remember, You Are More Than A Conqueror

I woke up again with the song “Conquerors” on repeat in my head. I listened to it a few times yesterday, and I guess I need to do the same today. In case I’m not the only one who needs to hear it, here’s the link to the song.

Conquerors,” by Kirk Franklin & The Family


Head up. Shoulders back. Stand tall. You are more than a conqueror. You are God’s child!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

GOD, You Are One Of One

When I shared this on other platforms, I added Marvin Sapp’s, “You Are God Alone.”

God, You are One of one. There is no other like You. Thank You for your love, your mercy, and your grace. Thank You for being YOU!

Let’s give God the praise and honor He’s due. He’s so good!🙏🏽

Sending blessings and love your way!♥️

I don’t know about you, but I needed this reminder. When I reposted Jay’s post last year, I added, “Do not give up.”

Never give up on your vision or dreams.

I truly believe that whatever God-given vision or dreams we’re striving for will happen. All we have to do is hold on a little while longer. My life is proof (receipts from my journals) that breakthroughs do happen, and most of the time, they happen at what appears to be the last minute, or when we can’t take another disappointment or setback. However, I now realize they actually happen when we release control and completely turn things over to God. As the old infomercial used to say, “Set it and forget it.” Basically, place it in God’s hands and leave it alone. He has an appointed time for everything.


That’s all for now. I pray you have a peaceful, relaxing day.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

Celebrating Mother’s Day

When I woke up this morning, the last thing I wanted to do was celebrate Mother’s Day. I just wasn’t feeling it. But God and my daughter had different plans. I’m so glad she decided to come home this weekend. I needed her company. I needed the love, laughs, hugs (from both of my hearts), and good food. I may have lost my mother, but… I am a mother. God blessed me with two beautiful souls. How could I not celebrate this honor?

My daughter is on her way back home. We did more in about 18 hours than we would have done the entire weekend. When I tell you we laughed, danced, sang, ate, watched Netflix (started “Forever”), had a few deep conversations, and ate some more.🥰

To the mothers and mother figures who nurture and give selflessly, “Happy Mother’s Day!” You are loved and appreciated.💕🌸💗

You Can Handle It

Found in my saved photos—May 4, 2019. Photo Credit: Unknown

As we know, life will always be lifeing. Just know that you can handle any and everything thrown your way. And when things become a bit too much for you to handle, release control and pass them on to God. He’s got your back. You’re covered!♥️

Love you much,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 91

Over the past four years, I have used this same graphic in different posts. However, the first time I used it was on May 4, 2021. I went to look for further context and could only find this graphic and caption, “Make it happen.” Even on this site, I had only shared the graphic in the story format (when WordPress was doing stories).

Although I couldn’t find any other details, I decided to add a couple of scriptures from this morning’s reading. I believe they are aligned with the message of God setting the stage for me to make things happen.

Isaiah 46:10-11 (NIV)

10. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’

11. From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do.


There’s a purpose and plan to be fulfilled—God’s purpose and plan. And today, I am prepared to make it happen♥️ ~Shaun

Now, I’m the woman in the graphic—“The stage is set, Shaun. Make it happen!”
