The Decade of Random Experiences

Just finished reading a journal entry from ten years ago where I had written down what I wanted to accomplish within 10 years, i.e., by now. Well, over the past ten years, some of my hopes and dreams faded away like they never existed. However, some remained; which are the ones I am still working towards. Looking back, I can see where I got off track; where I took a few detours and scenic routes. Do I regret not accomplishing everything within the allotted ten years? Honestly—and I am being so truthful—I don’t.

The last ten years…

Let’s just call the last ten years the Decade of Random Experiences—and boy was everything random. Not in a bad or regrettable way, but random. When I tell you my life was all over the place. As soon as I thought I was focused and things were headed in one direction something random would happen that would throw me off track—like every time. That was my 40s.

Now, here I am on the other side of that decade—my 50s—where life is so much calmer. No timelines. No hurry. Even though the randomness hasn’t stopped, it doesn’t bother me like it did before. Now I just go with the flow and easily hand over the things I can’t do on my own to God. Although slowly—which seems very slow at times—everything is coming together. They’re coming together the way they are meant to and I am finally at peace with it. Y’all, God’s timing and plans really are best.

That’s all. Just felt like writing. Thanks for reading.♥️

Relax

Good Morning! Listen, those blessings you have been praying for are coming. And guess what? You won’t have to seek them out, they’ll find you. All you have to do is be open to receiving them. Speaking from experience.

♥️

Short story…

Moments ago, I was doing what I love doing—creating; and while creating, the thought came to mind that I am actually doing what I love doing. It’s funny that what I had been working so hard to achieve, and thought I was miserably failing at, I have already been doing. I just couldn’t see it because I was expecting something different. I now realize everything has been slowly coming to and happening for me. As I evolve and grow—allowing God to lead—the more blessings and opportunities are coming my way. Y’all, when I really reflect on my life, I haven’t had to seek out anything—blessings and opportunities have always found me.

When I tell you I love watching God work! I just love how He loves me!!🥰

Beyond Blessed♥️

Be Obedient

God opens doors when we are obedient.

You don’t have to have all of the details or even know your next move—just be obedient. There are blessings attached to your obedience. Love you!♥️

Wait

Trust God’s timing.

Wait.

That’s the answer.

Be still and wait.

Yes, it’s uncomfortable.

Yes, you feel like you’re stagnant.

Yes, it seems like you could and should be doing more.

Yet, the answer is “Wait.”

So, wait.♥️

Love you,

Where’s Your Mind These Days?

Good Morning!

Honestly, I don’t have much more to add to what I wrote six years ago. All I can say is it’s true, your life will follow whatever dominates or preoccupies your mind. Change your mindset and your life will change.

Sooo…

Where’s your mind nowadays?

Definitely something worth assessing, right?

I shiver at the thought of waking up six years from now and being in the same place or headspace.

Don’t you?

My Purpose

“My purpose is God affirmed.🙌🏽 The world will always need more love, light, peace and positivity, and that’s exactly what I plan to give.♥️”

That’s my purpose. I didn’t choose it. It’s who I am.

Have you discovered your purpose? If so, did you choose it or did it choose you?

Hmmm…

Well, that’s all. Please continue to enjoy your day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Good Night (19)

Remain hopeful. Blessings are headed your way.

Since I started the day off with a song, I figured it would only be appropriate to end the night with a song. Here’s what’s currently playing in my head.

God’s Got A Blessing (with My Name On It)” by Norman Hutchins

Smile. God’s got a blessing with YOUR name on it!♥️

Good Night,

This Morning’s Praise & Worship Song

Good Morning! Woke up singing Maurette Brown Clark’s song, “Just Want To Praise You.” Y’all, I don’t know about you but I never want to lose my praise. God’s been too good to me not to praise Him daily. The song says—

I just want to praise you
Forever and ever and ever
For all you’ve done, done for me
Blessings and glory and honor
They all belong to you
Thank you Jesus for blessing me!

Listen, I can’t say it enough, I am truly blessed. Even being able to write and connect with you is a blessing. As I have said many times before, I try not to take anything for granted. God really has been good to me.

That’s all I have for now. Wishing you a wonderful day. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

Everything Is Falling Into Place

Hello! It may not look or feel like it, but everything is falling into place. Resist the urge to step out on your own and do things your way or settle.

Instead…

Be patient.

Trust God.

Trust His timing.

Love you!♥️
