Now is not the time to lose faith. Everything you prayed for is happening. You may not see it yet, but it is happening. So, stand still and stand strong. God is working.♥️ ~Shaun

Just Had to Share
This isn’t going to be long. Just watched this message by Pastor Steven Furtick. When I tell you it’s confirmation that I cannot give up. Y’all, I am not too late or too old to achieve my goals and dreams. Everything will happen according to God’s plan and timing.
I just love the way God loves me. This message was just for me.♥️
Here’s Pastor Furtick’s message: The Limp Won’t Make You Late.

The Wait
Facebook Memory: November 4, 2022
Be patient. Everything will happen at its appointed time.♥️
No matter how long you have waited, keep waiting. It is better to wait for God’s best than settle for less and then try to mold what you settled for into God’s best. It doesn’t work that way. I don’t know about you, but I would rather wait for God’s best knowing that everything He has for me is only for me. Yes… ONLY for me.
My advice—be patient and wait on God. Allow Him to lead. He hasn’t forgotten about you. Remember, He is always working and everything will happen when it is time. Believe me, nothing or no one can stop it.
Love you!♥️

Trust God’s Timing
Today I am providing inspiration from Pastor Joel Osteen. For a couple of years now, I have had Wednesdays blocked off for self care. It’s on my schedule as LaShaundreaB’s Wellness Wednesday. Well, today I am actually going to stick to my schedule. Today is my wellness day.
Here is Pastor Osteen’s message. Talk to you tomorrow!♥️ ~Shaun
Be Still
For several years now, I have shared the same message, “Be still” or “Be still. God is working.” Thought I would continue the tradition and share it again today along with another message I reposted several years ago.
Today, I would like to encourage you, as I encourage myself, to be still and wait on God. Do not move until He gives you His approval. Resist the urge to help. Believe me, He does not need our help to move things along a little faster. Yes, the wait can be long and tedious. I know you are tired, so am I, but as we have witnessed many times before, it’s always best to wait on God. His timing is perfect.
Have a blessed day!♥️

Wednesday Writings
Happy Wednesday! I’m not going to keep you long. Wanted to share a snippet of a Facebook memory from a few years ago.
Facebook Memory: January 18, 2019:
I came across a quote that read, “Stay the Course.” Y’all, we have to stay the course because so many blessings are awaiting us. Even if you’re barely hanging on by a thread, don’t let go. Hold on to that one pinch of hope. God is working and everything will work in your favor. Don’t Give Up
Listen, do not give up. God has a way of making everything fall into place. So, stop stressing. Stop trying to figure things out. Go on about your day doing what you do – minus the stressing – and allow God to do what He does.
Wishing you a peaceful day!♥️
Be Blessed

Hello Sunday
Sometimes we win. Other times we lose.
Sometimes we seize great opportunities. Other times we don’t.
Question
How do you cope – or attempt to cope – when things don’t go as planned? You know, after you have experienced a loss or have been disappointed?
Here’s what I wrote on this date in 2018. It was in response to the following quote — “Things didn’t work out [loss, disappointment, setback] because better things are in the works.”
Facebook Memory: December 18, 2018
Good Morning! We’re two weeks away from 2019!! Can you believe how fast this year passed? It’s crazy! Here’s today’s social media find. I know you may have set goals for this year that didn’t happen. You had it all played out in your mind how this year was going to be “Your Year!” And you feel like it was everything but your year (believe me, I know the feeling). However, from years of experiencing God’s love, mercy and grace, you KNOW better is coming! Things didn’t work out because they weren’t supposed to. Whatever’s coming is going to blow your mind! Y’all know how God loves to show out!!😉💃🏽💃🏽 Here’s the thing, you cannot settle when you’re feeling down. You cannot stop believing because you don’t see anything happening. You must continue to push forward! Y’all, the best God has is on it’s way! Don’t give up!!
I like how I wrote–
“Things didn’t work out because they weren’t supposed to. Whatever’s coming is going to blow your mind!”
Looking back, I am pretty sure I was trying to encourage myself after what I considered a loss or disappointment. Transparent moment: This is one of my ways of coping. It’s how I remain hopeful.
Did it work?
Does it work?
ABSOLUTELY!
Although we still have two weeks left, I am exiting 2022 knowing that some things did not go as planned because they just were not meant to.
AND…
I’m entering 2023 KNOWING (had to make that BOLD because I’m feeling it) better is coming! Amen
Y’all, I am truly thankful for God’s love, mercy and grace. I thank Him for holding me up when I just knew I would fall. I thank Him for holding my heart together when I thought it was shattering. I thank Him for walking with me while I was afraid. I thank Him for encouraging me and restoring my hope, daily. We all know life is not easy. Y’all, I am beyond grateful God is in this thing with me. I’m Blessed
Only two weeks left in 2022! I pray you had an overall amazing year!♥️

Respect God’s Timing
How often have you tried to rush things or make something happen and it didn’t work? Could it possibly be because the timing wasn’t right? Some things take time. Yep.. sometimes YEARS! Did you just cringe, too?! (Laughing) Good news is, everything always works out better when we respect God’s timing.
Last night, I witnessed someone’s wait finally come to fruition. Sheryl Lee Ralph has been a performer and actress for decades and this year she was finally nominated for an Emmy award… and she WON!!!! Y’all, I was so excited for her and her babies. Her son and daughter – kinda like mine – have always been her biggest supporters and fans and they were there to witness this magnificent occasion. It was so beautiful!
On another note– I would like to see the same for Tyler Perry. He’s also been in the game for decades and it’s time for him to receive the writer/producer/director and film credit he deserves. Yep.. It’s time for him to receive an Oscar for his work. His latest film is called A Jazzman’s Blues. According to Tyler, it’s been in the works for 27 years. Now, that’s a long time! From what I can tell from the trailer, it’s Oscar worthy. Okay.. maybe I’m a little biased. Y’all know I love me some Tyler Perry. But honestly, it really is his time.
A Jazzman’s Blues comes out on September 23, 2022 on Netflix. Check it out!
Remember, God’s timing is always best. The look on Sheryl’s face last night proved it was so worth the wait. God is so amazing!♥️
