My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
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
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
Good Morning☀️
As much as I have been trying to avoid the subject, it’s not going away. On this day two years ago, I spoke to my mom for the last time while she was awake—not coherent or even alert, but awake. She had talked for two days nonstop. When I say nonstop, I mean for the entire 48 hours. She had had conversations with people who had passed away, people who were in the room who I couldn’t see, and every now and then, she’d talk to me. I didn’t ask the nurse for anything to help her sleep because, for the first time in decades, she wasn’t in any pain or uncomfortable. She was just talking. So, I let her talk. I still remember her asking for breakfast almost every hour during the last night of her conversations. It was like talking to a toddler who wouldn’t go to sleep—“Go to sleep, and when you wake up, your food will be here.” She’d be quiet (but whispering, I could hear her😂) for 15-30 minutes before she would ask again, “Is it time to eat breakfast?”
While looking through my photos this morning, I found the last picture I took of her while she was awake. I remember sending it to my sisters to show them she was okay and had finally stopped talking. The more I look at it, the more I can see that she was actually gone. Her body was still functioning, but she wasn’t there. The time stamp was 8:37 PM on May 4, 2023. Here’s a TikTok video I shared that evening at 9:48 PM. I had no clue that only a few hours later she would have her second seizure of the week and never regain consciousness. She died on May 9th, a few days before Mother’s Day.
Here’s a photo taken a few weeks after she had me. Y’all, I can’t believe she died before my 50th birthday.💔
A few days ago, her stepmother passed away. When I tell you it felt like losing her all over again. I can’t believe they’re actually gone, and I’ll never see them again.😔
I’ll end here.
I pray that you have a wonderful day filled with love, peace, and happiness. You deserve it.♥️
I love you,
Shaun

Isaiah 42:16
I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.
I am following God’s lead. I’m not sure where He’s taking me; however, I trust Him to “turn the darkness into light” and “make the rough places smooth.” I know He will be with me every step of this journey.
I trust, You, Lord.♥️

Found the following in one of my journal entries from 2015. I wrote that it was a Facebook post I had made in 2008.
“I’m here! God made me the person I am. However, the person I am today will not be the person I am tomorrow. God is so wonderful that He allows us to grow each day. I know that in everyday ahead of me there will be learning experiences and teachable moments. Can’t say it enough, God is awesome!”
That was 17 years ago!
Today, I’m saying the same—I’m here, and God made me the person I am. And I absolutely LOVE who He created.🥰
Thank You, Lord, for loving me. You are an AMAZING God.♥️
Shaun
Happy Easter!☀️
Today is Resurrection Sunday!
Matthew 28:5–7 NIV
5. The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
6. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
7. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
The fact that Jesus conquered death gives me hope. Not even death can stop God’s greatness! Amen
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed and relaxing day. You deserve it.♥️
I love you always,
Shaun
That’s the message.
It’s already done.
God’s got you!♥️
Love you,

Our journeys are shaped by our past and present experiences, which means our future experiences can influence our coming journey.
Or…
Our future journeys will create our experiences.
So, do we wait for our journey to decide, or do we create experiences that shape our journeys?
Definitely something to think about.
Love you!♥️

In case you feel ill-equipped, know that you are more than capable of fulfilling God’s purpose for your life. He would not have chosen you for the assignment if He knew you could not achieve it. God is not cruel and would never set you up for failure.
Keep God first.
Allow Him to lead.
And you will not fail.
You’ve got this, and He’s got you!♥️
I love you always,
Shaun
