What’s Done In Love

What is done in love is done well. – Vincent van Gogh

I saw this mural earlier today and had to take a picture. Not only is it beautiful, but the quote is by one of my favorite artists, Vincent van Gogh. The quote is true—when something is done in love, it’s typically done well.💗


Here’s another message from earlier.

“Take a moment just for you.”

This one made me smile. I was doing just that—I was taking a moment for myself. God knows exactly what we need when we need it. Forever grateful and blessed.🥰

I pray that your Friday has been just as lovely as you are. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the day and a beautiful weekend.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You Are A Conqueror

So many tears shed in silence. So many battles only God knew about. At times, the pain, disappointments, and heartaches seemed unbearable, yet you made it. YOU made it! You are a conqueror—more than a conqueror.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

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!

Beyond Blessed♥️
