Here’s what I shared six years ago. Don’t pay too much attention to the caption because I have absolutely no idea why I wrote, “All the time.” Smile. However, the messages are in the hashtags and Pastor Joel Osteen’s post.
Believe in the promise, and allow God to do the rest. The promise is coming.♥️
God is restoring everything! Everything you lost. Everything you thought you lost. This is restoration season. Can’t you feel it?! If you can’t, I surely can. I can feel it, and I can see it. It’s happening. Allow it to happen—yes, you must allow it to happen in order to experience the full effect.
I can hear the Winans singing, “Restoration has finally come. Been restored back to my place in God.”
What a wonderful feeling!
You are God’s child. Covered and restored.
Y’all, God is so amazingly good. There is absolutely none like Him. We are truly blessed!
Never forget YOU are God’s child—hand crafted and uniquely made—royalty. There’s no other like you. Remember who He created you to be and boldly walk in it.
I pray you have a beautiful Sunday. Again, boldly walk in who you are!
Listen, no one—NO ONE—can do what you do. They may come close, but they will never be able to do what you were chosen to do. God placed a very specific, very unique key inside of YOU to unlock plans, dreams, and hopes others have been waiting for. There’s absolutely no other like you! Allow God to use you.♥️
I found this image in my March 15, 2021 journal entry. (See “I Woke Up Like This” for context.)
“How can you get what you want, if you don’t know what you want?”
Deep, right?
That day (March 15, 2021), I made a list of things I wanted for my business. However, several weeks ago, when I asked myself the same question, I answered it based on my core values and what I wanted most from life.
I have to agree with Michael Baisden. We’ll never get what we want if we don’t know what we want.
Just a little food for thought.
That one entry had soooo many gems. I’ll leave you with this quote from Bishop T. D. Jakes (also included in the entry)—
“God has positioned you for purpose.”
Actually, he said to write it down, so I did.
I am positioned for purpose.
YOU are positioned for purpose.
We were not created just to exist. No, we were created to fulfill a purpose. We’re already positioned to do so, so let’s move accordingly.♥️
I decided to go check out what I was doing the day I shared the quote above (March 15, 2021), and now I’m bawling. I began my journal entry with this—
“Today’s Monday. I turned in my letter of resignation on Friday.”
Y’all, I had just taken one of the biggest leaps of my life, and that was to bet on me!!!
I am so proud of myself for taking that leap. I had no idea what life would be like afterwards. I just heard God say it was time, and I moved. Whew!!
I didn’t expect to find all this when I searched my photos for the image above. I just kept hearing, “I woke up like this.” Who knew one image could hold so much meaning. That entire journal entry has me in tears. I did that!! Now, here I am, almost four years later, still doing what I love. Y’all, that was one of the best decisions I ever made, and I did it unafraid. I had absolutely no clue what was to come, and I was completely at peace when I did it, not one ounce of fear or anxiety. That’s how I knew God was in it.
When I tell you God is sooooooo amazing!! So amazing!
Yes, I woke up like this…BLESSED!
Thank you for reading. I pray you woke up feeling the same—Blessed.♥️
A few months ago, I was given a specific date to take another leap into the unknown. As time crept closer to me taking that leap, I kept playing around with the date until one day when I heard loud and clear, “That’s the date.” I was like, “Okay, I hear You, God,” and did what was asked. I was told that delaying what was asked of me would delay what He was trying to do for me. I took the leap even though I didn’t know and still don’t know how things will work out. I’m not sure what He has in store, but the atmosphere did change as soon as I leaped. Honestly, it changed when I decided to be obedient, which was before I actually leaped.
Be obedient and take the leap! As Pastor Joel Osteen said nine years ago, God will not ask you to give up something without giving you something better in return.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
I’m laughing at myself because I could’ve cropped this more. I just like seeing the “9 years ago.”☺️
