Yessss…. YOU’RE STILL STANDING!!♥️

Happy Sunday!
This morning I’m singing, “A wonderful change has come over me.”
Last week, my week began with Tamela Mann’s song, “Change Me,” stuck in my head for two days. I wrote how I felt my spirit and soul worshiping God. Y’all, it was such a wonderful experience, something I had never experienced before.
Well, this morning I woke up singing, “A wonderful change has come o-o-ver meeeee.” Smiling
As I mentioned last week, I am not sure what God is doing in my life, but it’s something extraordinary and it’s already been very much felt.
Forever grateful.
Beyond blessed.
Thank you so much for reading. I pray you have a beautiful Sunday and a wonderful week.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Here’s a memory that is so worth sharing. Five years ago, I wrote—
“The only way I can move forward is to face my fears and stop sabotaging opportunities.”
Five years later (today)…
I’m trying not to laugh, because it’s definitely not funny, but I don’t know why I thought my fears would magically disappear. Call me naive, but I assumed that if I just prayed about it, everything would be fine. I didn’t realize I needed to actively put myself out there—joining groups, sitting on committees, and creating TikTok and YouTube videos—before the fear would start to subside. Now, don’t get me wrong, prayer helped, but it did not replace me facing my fears head on.
Now, I would be lying if I said fear doesn’t still pop up, because believe me it does; however, it’s not as intense as it was. I know y’all are probably tired of me talking about how my life changed after turning 50, but it really did. And it wasn’t until last week, when I decided to make a TikTok video, that I noticed the anxiety was gone. Nothing but God!
Listen, when I tell you I have been experiencing so many “God-moments” lately. Y’all, He’s working, and not only can I feel it, but I can also see it.
Thanks for following my journey.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
Setbacks.
Plot twists.
Storms.
Life lifeing.
Exhale… Yes, let it all out.
Below is a reblog of my “Wednesday Writings” written on October 26, 2022. Honestly, I am not quite sure what storm or plot twist, as I called it, I was going through. However, I do know I survived it.
Y’all, by the grace of God I am still here and still standing after the countless storms I have been through. I’m so glad God never left me, and that He gave me the strength to endure the pain of whatever I was going through in those seasons.
I pray that whatever setback, storm, plot twist, or life experience you may be currently going through ends soon, very soon, so you’re able to smile, rejoice, and enjoy the goodness of life. Listen, don’t allow your current situation to make you give up hope or change your outlook on life. Where you are today is not where you will stay. You deserve a beautiful, stress-free, pain-free, storm-free life, and you will have one.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Wishing you peace and blessings. Remember to always put God first and trust His guidance, even when you can’t see where He’s taking you. Just trust and believe it’s somewhere greater and better than you’ve ever imagined.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
“My Journey With God” is the title I have decided on for one of my extra posts for the day. I may or may not post one daily, but when I do, it will be authentic, not forced.
Trust.
Trust God.
Trust His plan.
That’s the message! Have a wonderfully blessed day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Today I second guessed myself. Something I am not proud of because I know what I heard God say to do. Don’t worry, I’m not going to speak in code. I’m going to tell you exactly what happened.
You know how I said I was going to start sharing an afternoon post, and that post would probably be a Facebook memory? Well, that’s what I did. I shared a Facebook post. The thing is, all while I was writing, I kept hearing to wait. But I wanted to get something out around the same time I had posted the days before, and since that memory was there, that’s what I shared. Y’all, not even 30 minutes later, I kept hearing Donald Lawrence’s song, “I Speak Life.” That’s when I heard to share it. Well, I was hesitant to share it because I had made the post already. What would I look like posting back to back?
Ha! As you can see, I went on and shared what I heard about speaking life into yourself as well as those around you. Then, I searched my photos for an image because I knew I had shared a similar message before. Once it was shared, and on all of my platforms, I felt a little disappointed because I thought I was doing so well with being obedient. A little while later, I received a message from someone telling me they needed what I had shared. I needed that confirmation. I needed to know I was on the right path.
Y’all, God is doing something different in me. I can feel it. When I decided I was going to allow Him to use me as He saw fit, I had no idea what I was saying. I’m not backing out, but… Whew!
As I’ve been saying this week, I’ll keep you posted on how things are going. Let’s just call this “My Journey with God In Real Time.” I might shorten it. Hmmm… Maybe that will be the title of this series of posts. We shall see!
As always, thanks for allowing me to share. Love you!♥️

Often easier said than done but… Believe.♥️ ~Shaun
In my previous post, I mentioned my journal entry from October 22, 2023. The first two sentences in that entry were—
“‘Not from my own strength but God’s’ is what I just heard. I need to start tapping into His strength.”
Tap into His strength. Let Him do the heavy lifting. He’s got you!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
That’s what I wrote in my journal on October 22, 2023. “Always keep God first.” Believe me, He will not lead you wrong.
Soooo…
Did anyone do anything different yesterday?
Well, I did! It wasn’t drastically different, but it was different.
Yesterday, I wrote about how I felt my spirit worshipping God while hearing Tamela Mann’s song, “Change Me,” repeatedly playing in my head. When I finally listened to it, I had it on repeat for well over an hour. Every time I went to stop playing it, I kept hearing, “One more time.” So I played it until another song popped into my head, which was John P. Kee’s “I Do Worship.” Y’all, my spirit was definitely in worship mode.
So, here’s where ‘different’ came in. After listening to my songs, I really felt the need to share what I was experiencing with the world. I had already written it here (see Mid-Afternoon Worship) but needed to get it out verbally without any interruptions. So, I made a short video and shared it on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. I also shared how I could feel a shift taking place. I’ve been feeling it for a while; however, now the feeling is becoming stronger. And it’s not a bad shift, but a good one.
When I tell you it must have been for me to share! Y’all, I had zero anxiety. None! That has never happened, before. Never! I know it may seem small to you, but it was huge for me.
So, that was my different.
Y’all, God is good. So good. There’s no way I could not keep Him first. As I said, I know it may not seem like a big deal, it was just a video. But it was big for me. What took me a few minutes to do yesterday, would have taken me hours to do before, and it was only a couple of minutes long.
Thank you for allowing me to share. I pray you have a beautifully blessed day.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
