My Journey With God, No. 83

This morning, I’m so very thankful and grateful I am not in the same space I was six years ago. On April 11, 2019, I reclaimed my life by sharing my fears with the world. Before then, the only ones who knew, and I feel cared, were my two hearts. When I tried to share my fears and concerns with other close family, I was told I was overreacting. That the fear was all in my head. I’ve said this many times before, when I say I’m so grateful to still be here, believe me, I’m grateful to still be here. Y’all, God is so good, merciful, and gracious. Here’s the mental and emotional space I was in six years ago.

April 11, 2019

That day, I stopped living and moving in fear. A little over a month later, my ex finally signed the divorce papers. Although I felt somewhat free, it wasn’t until a week before my 46th birthday, when the judge signed my papers, that I knew I was actually free.

When someone tells you they are afraid, believe them. I don’t care how nice or good you may believe someone to be, believe the person who is afraid. They’re not overreacting. My ex did not want to let me go. We had been separated and going through the divorce process for over four years and he was still texting me saying I would always be his wife (kept the communication open because my son was still a minor). It was a very scary situation to be in. Again, I am so grateful I am still here. I’m so grateful I’ve been able to watch my babies become thriving adults. Y’all, I do not take my life for granted at all.

I’m still here!

The Missing Pieces

The missing pieces—the why’s, when’s, who’s, and how’s—are all distractions. Focus on the promise, and God will fill in the rest. Trust Him to lead you where you are meant to be.♥️

Love you much,

Shaun

The Process

Good Morning☀️

The process.

THE process.

THE PROCESS!

Ha! The process is no joke. If you want to get where you’re going, you have to go through processes. Not one, but multiple. The question is, will you keep going until you reach your goals, dreams, and promises, or will you eventually settle due to tiredness, frustration, or feelings of defeat?🤔

My hope for you is that you keep going. Just think of me as your personal cheerleader cheering you on.

You got this!

KEEP GOING!!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Praise & Worship Is What I Do

Singing “Praise is what I do. It’s what I do.” (William Murphy, “Praise Is What I Do”)

God is good.♥️

Obedience To God Leads To Abundance

Obedience to God leads to an abundance of blessings, including the intangible—peace, love, and joy—which cannot be bought. Life tends to flow easier when obedient.


May your world be filled with an abundance of blessings. You deserve them.♥️

I love you much,

Shaun

On Repeat

“Look At God” by Koryn Hawthorne must be my theme song for the year. Got it on repeat, again.

“I’m not confused. I know what He’s done. Check the reviews. Count every battle He’s won…”

Whew!!

Look at God!♥️
