My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Being obedient to God when you don’t understand the assignment is probably one of the most difficult things to do. If you’re like me—you know, human—you’ll probably have questions…lots of questions. However, you follow through because you were asked to do so.
I’m learning more and more to take myself out of the assignment and just be obedient—more of God and less of me. I don’t have to know why or the outcome of my ask. All I need to do is obey.♥️ ~Shaun
Good Morning☀️
Woke up with the song “I Feel Like Going On” playing over and over in my head. The song says—
“I feel like going on. I feel like going on. Though trials come on every hand, I feel like going on.”
The message—Keep going!
Keep Going!!!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Thought I’d end the night with this—
Trust God completely. Unconditionally.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
If there is something you desire to do, do it! Do it NOW! Waiting for the perfect time to get started only delays progress and time—time that you could actually be doing what you love.
I’ve been feeling this a lot lately. As we know, tomorrow’s not promised. All we have is today. I don’t know about you, but I would hate to leave this world without at least attempting to do the things I love. I just can’t do it, and won’t.
I pray your day is going well. Smile♥️
Love you,
Shaun
This morning’s message from God to me was Joel Osteen’s “Unconditional Trust,” originally shared on March 26, 2017. Before watching the video, I was led to look and see what I had written in my journal or saved in my photos on that date. I discovered that on that date, I was preparing for our annual state dietetics meeting. I was the president of our association that year. Also on that date, I referenced the date March 26, 2015—the day I learned I would be the president-elect for 2015-2016.
Whew! Talk about a full-circle moment.
Now, here I am again, president–elect of the same state association. Didn’t know it was even possible. I had written off this path of my journey as lessons learned. Thought that was how God would use it. Yet, here I am again.
I needed Pastor Osteen’s word. I don’t always understand… correction… I never understand what God is doing until after it’s done. However, I am learning to trust Him unconditionally. Who knew I’d be in this position again? What’s great about this time around is that I am not starting from scratch. I’m starting with more knowledge and experience.
Side Note: I just want to give you a glimpse of what’s so mind-boggling to me, what I have been trying to grasp. In 2016 (the year of my presidency), Donald Trump won his first presidential election. Now here are again, at the beginning of his second term. You see what I mean about a full-circle moment. Definitely not a coincidence. And y’all know I live in Mississippi, right? Times were interesting then. Not sure how interesting they’ll be this time. Again, not starting from scratch but with more experience and knowledge. I’m forever asking, “God, what are You doing?” Lol! When I say God has a sense of humor, this is what I’m speaking of. Gotta laugh.
This journey is definitely not for the weak.♥️ ~Shaun
P.S. There’s a little lagniappe at the end of Joel Osteen’s video. Fast forward about 20 minutes and you’ll see it. When I tell you God is sooooo good! So very good. I just love the way He loves me. Beyond Blessed.🥰
Happy Sunday!
Love this quote I found from nine years ago—
“Hope is the little voice you hear whisper ‘maybe’ when it seems the entire world is shouting ‘no!’”
Hope.
Never lose hope.
If God’s shown you something is possible…
Then, it’s possible (God doesn’t lie).
So, keep hope alive.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
Listen to God.
Don’t just hear Him.
Meaning—
Pay attention to God’s words, make note of His instructions, and follow His guidance.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
I pray you have a wonderful day and blessed weekend.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
During this time of uncertainty, we must remember that we are not alone. WE are in this together.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Trust God.
That’s the message.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
A few days ago, God had to remind me once again to stay focused on what I already have, not what I don’t have or believe I need. If you have been following me for a few years, you’ll know I am forever doing something new. This week, God reminded me of all the “new” things I had created and needed to revisit. One was my culinary nutrition project/venture. The last time I had been actively creating in that space was in 2023.
While downloading videos from TikTok, I came across videos I had shared on August 24, 2022 (this date is significant) about my frustration with trying to create a YouTube video. One was the before, and the other was the after. This led me to revisit that particular video. After I made it, I decided to unlist it after only a few days of it being public. For some reason, I hated that video. Well, after rewatching it the other day, I made it public again. Then, I shared it on my Facebook pages.
Y’all, it wasn’t until I shared it on another page this morning that I realized I created it on August 24, 2022. On the morning of August 27, 2022, my brother found my mom unconscious. She didn’t wake until almost a week later, with most of her hearing gone and no use of her right (dominant) arm. For those who don’t know, she suffered from paraplegia (at that time, 24 years). So, I had made plans to officially launch Nutrition with LaShaundreaB, and then had to pause everything to care for her—which I will never regret. Whew! So many memories of that time…
Anyway, I’m finally working on Nutrition with LaShaundreaB again. I’m focusing on what I already have. Here is the link to my once-hidden video. When I tell you the things I was so self-conscious about back then don’t bother me anymore. Baby, this is me! And I truly love ME!🥰 ~Shaun
