Here is a excerpt from my journal entry written on December 5, 2014:
Do what you need to do and everything else will fall in place. Believe me, God is already working it all out. No one can receive your blessings like you because they will not cherish the significance behind them like you will.
It has been seven years since I wrote that entry. Since then I have received so many blessings and experienced so many phenomenal moments. To others, those blessings and experiences may have seemed small, but for me they were mind blowing. I am forever grateful for everything God has done in my life thus far and look forward to what He is going to do. My assignment back then, which still stands today, is to listen to God and follow his guidance. And guess what?! Everything will fall in place.
Hope all is well with you and your families. Today is my 197th day of consecutive blogging. Not really sure how I feel about nearing the end of my goal of 200 days. Part of me wants to call it quits after 200, while the other part wants to set a new goal. Starting over at Day One just seems so discouraging. However, trying to maintain this pace is a bit stressful. I could easily schedule my posts ahead of time, but I like publishing fresh thoughts. Maybe it is best not to make a decision at all and take it one day at a time. We shall see what I happens after Wednesday, which will be Day 200.
As always, thank you so much for viewing my stories and reading my blogs. I truly appreciate it. Wishing you a blessed day and wonderful week. Please take care of yourself.
I believe God gives us glimpses of hope when we need them most. Whether it is a smile, call, text, social media post, thought, or memory, He always has a way of letting us know better days are ahead. Our situations may not immediately change, but that sliver of hope gives us the push we need to keep going.
Praise is what I do When I wanna be close to You I lift my hands in praise (oh, oh, come on) Praise is who I am (let’s declare it church) I will praise Him while I can I’ll bless You at all times (I vow)
I vow to praise You (when you gon’ praise Him church?) Through the good and the bad I’ll praise You (whether happy or sad) Whether happy or sad (I will) I’ll praise You (thank you Jesus) In all that I go through (yeah) Because praise is what I do ‘Cause I owe it all to You
Praise is what I do (even when I’m going through) Even when I’m going through (say, I finally learned church) I’ve learned to worship You (yeah, yeah) (And I declare) No my circumstance (doesn’t even stand a chance) Doesn’t even stand a chance (’cause my praise) My praise outweighs the bad (so I vow to praise)
I vow to praise You (I need somebody to wave your hands and declare) Through the good and the bad (I will) I’ll praise You (doesn’t matter how I feel) Whether happy or sad (I will) I’ll praise You (in all that I go through) In all that I go through Because praise is what I do (I owe) ‘Cause I owe it all to You
This section was omitted from the online lyrics but is included in the song. [Now I just need someone to open your mouth and give Him a crazy praise. Somebody send the praise to the nation. Somebody send the praise to Africa. Somebody send the praise to China.]
Praise is what I do (open up your mouth church) (It’s what I do) It’s what I do (Yes, church open up your mouth and somebody clap those hands and declare)
Praise is what I do (It’s what I do) It’s what I do (Somebody [send] the praise to Germany) (Somebody [send] the praise to France)
Praise is what I do (it’s what I do, yeah) (It’s what I do, it’s what I do) (It’s what I do) It’s what I do (Somebody [send a] praise to [Bankhead]) (Somebody [send a] praise to [Buckhead], yeah) Praise is what I do (Yeah)
Happy Sunday! Today’s blog is a repost of last year’s Hello Sunday! written on November 8, 2020. It is about hope and optimism. You cannot have one without the other.
Enjoy your day!

Hope & Optimism Today’s a new day! A new week! AND a new beginning! Today’s Hello Sunday is about hope and optimism. I believe hope and optimism are …
I know it’s late. Just dropping in to say “Hello!” It has been a very busy weekend. In addition to being busy, I took some allergy medicine this morning and I am so out of it. I can barely keep my eyes open. Debating whether to take a nap or just go to bed. I believe I’ll choose the second option and go to bed. I will talk to y’all later. Have a wonderful week!
It’s Shaun’s World
