Good Night (50)

Last year, on this day (May 31, 2024), I was visiting my baby girl.

This year, I spent my day doing something a bit different.

I’m ready!

It’s been a pretty awesome year!☺️

Tomorrow is the first day of June!! And yes, I’m already celebrating!!🎉


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.🌸


May 30, 2024

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

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
