The day before yesterday, I shared that I felt mentally and emotionally drained (see Stay Strong | Stay Focused). I said I wondered what would happen if I no longer wanted to be strong or focused. What would happen to my world? Thankfully, the feeling only lasted a moment.
As I shared two years ago in my Facebook post below, sometimes our current situation doesn’t reflect what we envisioned. What I did not share in “Stay Strong | Stay Focused” is that when I reviewed my Facebook memories that morning, I kept seeing posts I made about being in Switzerland at the United Nations. Said I was going to share a specific post every year until it came to fruition, and that post was posted five or six years ago. So, besides other things, I was also down about that. Then, God stepped in. He wouldn’t let me have a pity party. And I am glad He didn’t because I probably would have stayed home and missed out on several connections I made that day at the Paint & Chat event. I may not be where I envisioned, but I’m moving in that direction. Although I did not share my UN post this year, I am not giving up on my dream. As I said in the post below, God wouldn’t have given me the dream if it wasn’t achievable. Learning to lean on Him even more and follow His guidance.♥️ ~Shaun

Maybe your current situation doesn’t reflect what you envisioned so you feel a need to give up. Please don’t. Work through the uncomfortable moments. God would not have given you the dream if it couldn’t be achieved. You are already equipped to make it happen.♥️

“Beyond Blessed“ was the theme I chose for Year51. At the time, I had looked back over the previous 50 years and realized how blessed I was and still am. I stated that I was, “Speaking life, love, peace, joy, optimal health, success, prosperity, and blessings over this next year and beyond.” So, today’s Facebook memory goes perfectly with my theme and statement.
Everything I touch is and will be blessed. Everything! Because I am speaking life and blessings over them. Amen

Everything YOU touch is blessed. Everything… ♥️

Please remember this, especially when it doesn’t feel like it. Everything you’re currently touching and everything you will touch in the future is and will be blessed. Everything! Amen
Praying you have a wonderfully, blessed day!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
That’s how my journal entry from July 20, 2017 started, “Sweet Jesus, I’m still here!” I was praising God despite what I was going through at the time. And after reading that particular entry, that basically spelled out everything I was dealing with, I had to humble myself and thank God for where I am today. Y’all, I made it!
The things I am currently dealing with are nowhere in comparison with what I was going through back then. Honestly, I feel embarrassed about my complaints. God has brought me through some very tough times, and I’m still here!
Please forgive me, Lord, for not being as grateful as I should’ve been. Amen
A couple of weeks ago, I was notified that I had won a ticket to a Paint & Chat (too early for sipping) event. Here’s what I painted and what I decided to recreate moments ago, digitally. I needed that painting session yesterday and to meet new people. It was very therapeutic.☺️


I pray you have a wonderful day and fabulous weekend. Love ya!♥️
Shaun

You have already survived. Now, it’s time to thrive!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Today’s Facebook memory is a great reminder to release whatever it is that’s weighing on you. God is bigger than any problem, and He is still in control. I know it’s easier said than done, but trust that God has everything handled. Love you.♥️ ~Shaun

You know better than I do what “it” means to you. So whatever “it” is, give it to God. Release it. Let it go. Let Him handle it.♥️
