I’m allowing God to lead me to wherever He desires me to be.
Trusting Him and His plan.♥️

Sitting In God’s Presence
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I hope and pray you’re well.🌸
This morning, I spent some extra time sitting in God’s presence before writing. Most days, as soon as I open my eyes, I thank God for waking me up, say my daily prayers, and then begin writing. Afterwards, is when I usually spend more time with Him, and of course, I continue throughout the day. Today, God led me to move differently. After saying my prayers, I reflected on the many things God’s done and is doing in my life. I needed the extra time with Him. He’s moving, and I need to stay present so that I can move with Him.
This is all I have for now. I pray that you have a fabulous day. May it be filled with love, joy, and peace.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
Good Night (50)

It’s been a pretty awesome year!☺️

Have a good night!♥️
Love you,

My Journey With God, No. 98
Since I began the day on the topic of being worthy of the best, I thought I’d share my journal entry from May 31, 2019, which was three years before I shared the Facebook memory in my previous post.
Journal Entry: May 31, 2019
“Yesterday I felt differently. Like something had changed. Even the way I was carrying myself was different. Before I left the house yesterday morning, I told [my son] how grateful I was for all of my blessings and how, up until this past week, I had been seeing myself as unworthy of the best. I thought others deserved the best, but not me.”
I went back and read my journal entry from the day before (May 30, 2019) to see what I had written about my conversation with my son. Here’s some of what I wrote:
“Over the past 5 years I’ve been through some major changes. During this time, God has never left me and has given me more than I thought I was worthy of.”
I ended my entry with this.
“Come on, LaShaundrea! Who has a life like yours. Plus you have two AMAZING kids who are self thinkers and they really love you and they show you. Like A-MAZING! God has given you the world all you have to do is walk in your light. Bask in His glory. EVERYTHING is working according to plan.”
I had no idea what was to come the next day, which was the day my ex-husband finally signed the divorce papers. I just knew, even before then, that I was blessed and worthy of more. Of course, life did what life does, and it took me another three to four years to begin walking in “my light.”
I’m blessed.
Been blessed.
And
God is so good.
It’s time for me to finally—yes, finally— bask in His glory.☺️

Follow God’s Guidance
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I hope you’re well.🌸
Last year I wrote, “God’s guidance is strategic. Trust Him and trust His plan.”
God has a purpose and plan for our lives that even we aren’t privileged to know. He only asks that we be obedient and trust Him.
So, that thing He’s been telling you to do—yeah.. you know, that thing—do it! I don’t care how small or insignificant it may seem or how big and challenging it appears—do it. It’s part of God’s plan.
Follow God’s guidance. He knows where He’s taking you. Trust Him.
I pray you have the loveliest of days and a beautiful weekend.♥️
I love you,
Shaun

Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I hope and pray you’re well?🌸
I was searching for something to share this morning and came across this image. It made me smile. So, why not share it?
I hope it made you smile, as well.☺️
I’m still singing Elevation Worship’s song “Worthy.” God is so worthy to be praised. So worthy!🙏🏽
I pray you have a great day. May it be filled with lots of love, peace, and joy.♥️
I love you,

The Encourager
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I pray you’re doing well.🌸
“The Encourager”
That was the name of my mom’s monthly newsletter. She used to send them to friends and family in the early 2000s. After she died, that was one of the things her friends remembered about her. Here’s a copy. She would’ve been a great blogger.💗
The Encourager (April 2003) written by Dorothy Bradford
“No matter what we suffer or have lack of, when we learn to put God first, to love Him, and to recognize His voice and obey, we have assurance that all things are working to our good.”
What a word! A word that she lived by.
This is a short week! I pray you have a beautiful day. May God make you feel extra special today. You deserve it!♥️
I love you,
Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 96
On this day six years ago (May 26, 2019), I wrote the following—
“Goodbye comfort zone. It’s time to create the life I’ve always dreamed of.”
Then, when I shared it, I added the caption—
“Leaving my comfort zone,” and used the hashtags—Refocusing and Rebuilding.”
I wish I could say everything happened instantaneously, but it took me a while to leave my comfort zone—actually, it took a few years. Believe me, it wasn’t easy. I had become so comfortable where I was.
I’m so glad I made that decision. If I hadn’t, there is no telling what my life would be like today. I needed a change so I could grow. I needed my babies to see me evolving. I owed it to God to use the gifts He’d given me. And I owed it to myself to keep pursuing my dreams and purpose. I needed to become ME.
I am so very grateful for God’s love, grace, and patience with me. He did not give up on me or let me give up on myself. There were so many times when I wanted to quit and settle, but He wouldn’t let me. Y’all, He’s such a good God.
Sitting here in awe.
I’m no longer where I used to be.
I did it! ✨♥️

Be Still And Have Faith
Good Morning☀️
How are you?
I hope you’re well.🌸
“Be still and have faith” is how I ended last year’s journal entry (May 26, 2024). I was becoming antsy and impatient because life wasn’t moving at the pace I wanted. I felt like I needed to do something. I needed to make things happen on my own because God wasn’t moving fast enough for me. I had thought of so many things I could’ve been doing, yet I heard to “be still and have faith.” Looking back over the past year, I am so grateful I was obedient. Had I not been, I would have missed out on so many opportunities as well as the connections and relationships I’ve built. What God has done in one year was taking me years to build.
Here’s my takeaway, or what I’ve learned—
Whenever you want to take control because God doesn’t seem to be moving, or He’s moving much too slowly—BE STILL! I even wrote in that entry, “Shaun, sit on your hands if you must.” And I almost needed to. BUT GOD!
Be still and have faith that God is going to do what He said He would do PLUS more! No lie, He will blow your mind!
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. Today is Memorial Day here in the United States. Please remember those who sacrificed their lives for us to have the freedoms we still have today.♥️
I love you,
Shaun
