Stay focused on God’s promise and your purpose. God will handle the rest.♥️

My Journey With God, No. 12
Today, I am feeling so much better. Yesterday, I allowed myself to feel, which I needed to do. I also allowed myself to be comforted my the ultimate comforter in the world, God. Yesterday, I leaned into God and allowed Him to dry my tears and soothe my heart and soul.
Today, I am doing the same. I’m curling up in His arms and allowing His love, peace, and comfort to surround me.
I am loved.
I am protected.
I am covered.
I’m God’s child.♥️
Patience and Capacity
Good Morning!☀️
My affirmation for today is—
I have the patience and capacity to wait for God’s promises. Everything will happen at its appointed time. Trusting God.
I pray you have a blessed day and wonderful Veterans Day weekend!🇺🇸
Love you,

The Best…Is Yet To Come?
Good Morning!☀️
Sometimes, you have to be your own hype woman (man). You have to pump yourself up so well that whatever’s happening around you seems so small and insignificant that you can tune it out. Or that you can take on any and everything that comes your way because you know the outcome will be great.
Today, I’m singing “The Best Is Yet To Come,” trying to hype myself up. In the memory below, I wrote, “Believe me, you ain’t seen nothing yet!” Well, that was me hyping myself up, and honestly, it probably worked. However, today, I’m not feeling it. Whew! I’m not feeling it at all. Y’all, I’m going to need a minute to process what’s happened over the past couple of days.
Yeah… I need time to process this. I can’t believe all our progress as a society is about to be ripped away. All the work women fought for to have our voices heard and respected as equal—gone. All the progress we’ve made since slavery and the Civil Rights movement—gone. Religious freedoms—gone. Global respect—gone. And people are celebrating.
Yeah… I’m going to need a minute. I cannot allow my own hope and optimism to die like everything else. I cannot and will not allow my heart to become hard because love is everything to me. What is the world without it? So, this will probably be my only post for today. I need to connect with God. I don’t know or understand what He’s doing, but I still trust Him. However, right now, my heart hurts.
Wishing you a wonderful day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Repost– Foward
Decided to repost yesterday’s message.
“Forward is the only way to go.
Eyes forward.
Mind forward.
Thoughts forward.
Moving forward.
Yes, forward is the only way to go.”
Adding…
Going back is not an option. And guess what? I still believe! Everything I dreamed will happen, and in my lifetime.♥️
Love you!
Shaun
Hmmm…
Good Morning!
Here’s what I shared five years ago—
Yes, comfort prevents change. Also, you cannot change what you can’t see. And the only way to see what’s hidden is to shake up a few things. Y’all, soooo much has been shaken and uncovered over the past several months, and there’s no going back.
There were two distinct sides in this election—one that was just, fair, inclusive, willing to work together for everyone, and just decent (that, my friend, is Christ like), and then there was the other. As I write, the election hasn’t been called, but it’s evident that the other may have won. But even if by some miracle justice, joy, and inclusivity wins, life as we knew it has forever been changed. As I mentioned, so much was uncovered, nothing was hidden. Everything was revealed and spelled out. My advice is to buckle up, stay covered, remain prayerful, prepare to work, and always keep God first. A change is coming/happening—eventually a beautiful change (I can feel it)—but not without a little discomfort/disruption, first.
In the words of Tye Tribbett or Kendrick Lamar (you choose☺️), “We gon’ be alright.”
But will everyone? Especially when they no longer have the freedoms to choose… their lives or their family’s.
Anyhoo… I digress.
I pray you have a fabulous day! Stay present, stay at peace, and enjoy the moments of now. You’re alive. You’re well. You’re blessed.♥️
Love you,
Shaun

It’s Only Temporary
If you are experiencing difficulties and challenges right now, remember they are only temporary. Where you are today is not where you are meant to stay. Keep your head up. Things will get better.
The song I’m currently hearing is “Optimistic” by Sounds Of Blackness (Lyrics: LyricFind). The song says—
When in the midst of sorrow
You can’ t see up when looking down
A brighter day tomorrow will bring, oh
You hear the voice of reason
Telling you this can’t never be done
No matter how hard reality seems
Just hold on to your dreams, yeah
Don’t give up and don’t give in
Although it seems you never win
You will always pass the test
As long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
Face toward the sky
Be optimistic
Listen, you will always win because God’s got you!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Hello Sunday
Good Morning!☀️
We may not always understand what God is doing or why He has us go through certain things. However, I have learned that, at times, He gives us glimpses of possible answers. Yesterday, I received one of those glimpses. It was a glimpse of a promise, of a dream God had given me ages ago. All He ever asked of me was to trust Him completely, be obedient, and follow His lead; and I did—not always perfectly, but did (and I’m still doing).
Yes, yesterday, I received a much-needed glimpse at what God is doing and where He’s taking me. Of course, I’m not privy to the entire picture (I’ve learned to accept this), but what I see is enough to let me know I am heading in the right direction and that my dream is still intact.
Today, I am thankful for connections I made decades ago that have somehow come full circle (one of the speakers from yesterday’s event was someone I met during undergrad over 20 years ago). Thankful for recent connections (made within the past few months) that have encouraged and inspired me to push beyond my limits. Everything that has happened has been done in a way only God knew I would undoubtedly receive—from the people He placed in my path to the opportunities I have been given. I am forever amazed at how well He knows me! I know…He’s God. Smile
Y’all, I can’t stress it enough how I really did need for yesterday to happen, and to happen the way that it did. Even what I considered hiccups, needed to happen.
I just love the way God loves me.🥰
Thank you so much for reading and following my journey to becoming the person God’s created me to be. I pray you have a wonderful Sunday and extraordinary week!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
My Journey With God, No. 7
Message received…
I appreciate God showing me, me. There are certain things isolation has shown me about myself that I would have never realized before COVID-19.
Yes, I am still somewhat isolated. Most of my work and social interactions are virtual.
Then, there are things that I have only learned by being in the presence of others, particularly those outside my circle.
I needed today.
I hear you, God.
I’m listening, God.
I’m following through, God.
Thank You for showing me, me.♥️
