Already Equipped

God has already equipped us with everything we need at this present moment to fulfill our purpose and calling for this present moment. Of course, we may desire more. I mean, that’s human nature. However, we do not need more. Y’all, it is on us to make things happen with what God has already provided. As we need more, He will provide more.♥️ ~Shaun

You are already equipped and ready to go. So make things happen!

“Wait” — That’s The Message

Was laying here about to write and schedule my first blog for today (it’s currently after midnight) when I came across this message in one of my journal entries. Could’ve sworn I was reading an entry from June 4, 2021. However, it happened to be from JANUARY 4, 2021. Anyhoo, maybe someone needs this message so I am sharing it now. Afterwards, I’m going to go read what I actually wrote on JUNE 4, 2021 and see if there’s anything I want to share before writing my post. Maybe this is a sign as well as a message for me that I need to go back to sleep and wait to write. Smile

Shaun’s Journal Entry: January 4, 2021

What do you do while you wait? I just heard, “wait.”


Wait.

That’s the answer.

Then, you keep waiting until God instructs you to move. Believe me, you will know when the time is right. You will know because everything will line up perfectly, unforced. You know, the kind of thing that just ends up happening and leaves you wondering how it happened.

Yes… that’s when you’ll know.

Until then, wait.

Good night!♥️

Timing

Here’s another memory about timing. Smiling because even after I made this post six years ago, I still had more deadlines and things I wanted to accomplish by age 50. Now, everything I said back in 2018 about releasing it all, is true. No more deadlines. Everything will happen when it’s time. Although I can’t see myself being an elder and finally fulfilling certain dreams, so many others have had to wait to see their dreams come to fruition and they are doing quite well. Which means I’m going to be just fine. What’s meant to happen will happen. My job is to enjoy every moment of the here and now. Smiling

Facebook Memory: June 3, 2018

Good Morning! Trust God’s timing. I used to create deadlines. Deadlines are good for work projects, but can be horrible for your personal life. I had a deadline for everything- when I wanted to have my first child, my second child, get married and so on. Well, I got all of those things by my deadline. However, I wasn’t ready for what I received. God sent warning signs but I overrode each one so that it would fit my timing, my deadline.

A few years ago, I let go of the deadlines. I decided to leave it ALL in God’s hand and to actually heed the warnings. Needless to say, nothing happened as I’d planned. NOTHING! But the BEST part of it all was God’s timing was ALWAYS on point! I look back over the years and see where I was about to make another decision based on FEAR of missing an opportunity, or a deadline I set for myself years ago (those young adult deadlines), and God said WAIT.. BE STILL! I waited and things turned out better than I’d ever imagined. For real! Y’all just don’t know how grateful I am that I listened.

Now this year- 2018- this year has been rough. All of “my” deadlines have been thrown aside. Yes, I went back to setting deadlines. I’m human. Lol! Now I’m back to trusting God’s timing. I already KNOW that the outcome will be so much better that what I’ve planned. Amen!

Best advice– “Be still and wait!” Don’t rush a thing. God knows best.

Two events on my timeline that I set when I was around 19 or 20—that I was adamant about—was having my first child at 21 and the second by 30. Well, at the time that they were conceived I had already changed my mind; however, it happened anyway. Yes, they happened and they’re the best gifts I could have added to my timeline. Never knew how important they would be in my life. God is good. Even when I had changed my mind, He already had a plan for that ask.

Well, let me get moving. This month I’m not in a rush to do anything. So my posts will happen sporadically, no specific time frame. I will try to post them somewhat around the same times (will try to schedule them), but my mind is on vacation (wish I was physically) and things will get done at my leisure. I ain’t stressing none this month. Laughing

Have a blessed week!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Timing & Freedom

Timing and freedom, both are so very significant. Trying not to become too emotional, but you already know that’s not going to happen. Y’all, I waited over four years for my freedom (the divorce). Words can’t even describe how I felt when I received the call that the papers were signed. Til this day, I am forever grateful to God for seeing me through. I made it! Can you imagine being stuck in limbo for years?! So glad I made it.

As Marvin Sapp sings— “So if you see me cry, it’s just a sign that I’m still alive. Got some scars, but I’m still alive. In spite of calamity, He still has a plan for me and it’s working for my good and it’s building my testimony.” Hallelujah! I made it!!

Here’s what I shared after I received the news.

Facebook Memory: May 31, 2019

Trust God’s timing. It’s absolutely perfect. He’s forever working behind the scenes. Be blessed! Rejoicing

Divinely perfect!

And, I am assuming the post below happened first by the way it’s written and the order in which it showed up in my memories. Y’all, I had no clue of what that day was going to bring. Had no idea God was working behind the scenes. Can’t stop crying. When I tell you God is soooo strategic. It happened at the end of my 45th year, right before I crossed the threshold (June 1st) to begin celebrating entering my 46th year. I keep telling you, I love my birthdays. They are God’s precious gifts. I am truly blessed.

Anyhoo… here’s the other memory. And y’all, it’s Friday again!!

Facebook Memory: May 31, 2019

Happy Friday!! Here’s today’s social media find– a little happy to get you through the weekend.☺️ Stop stressing and follow your dreams. Keep Dreaming

Following my dreams.

Have a blessed day and fabulous weekend.♥️

Love you,

I Am Worthy of God’s Best

Facebook Memory: May 31, 2022

Affirmation on Repeat:
“I am worthy. Yes, ME. I am worthy of God’s best.”

Listen.. and hear me good.. YOU are worthy of God’s absolute best. You don’t have to settle for less.

Yes, you and me both. We are worthy of God’s absolute best. No more settling for less.

Guess what?! Tomorrow is my birthday month!!!! Listen, I don’t care how old I get, I love celebrating my birthday! Just saying the word birthday makes me feel like I’m a kid again. Smiling. Looking forward to ending my jubilee year on 10 and bringing in Year51 on 100!! Y’all, I am already hyped and I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do. Probably nothing. However, it’s always the excitement leading up to my birthday that’s the true gift. If I happen to actually do something spectacular, then it will be the icing—real buttercream icing—on the cake. Blessed

Anyhoo… Wishing you a wonderful day and magnificent weekend!♥️

Year51 is loading!

Good Night (9)

How does the song go, again?

In times like these you need a Savior
In times like these you need an anchor
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!

Y’all, this isn’t the end, it’s the beginning…

So, be very sure that your anchor is firmly secured in God, and only God. Unlike us mere mortals, He knows what lies ahead. I know He will get us through this.

Love you!♥️

1111

Today is Day 1111! Woohoo!!!🎉🎉🎉

Celebrating every single success!

I just love seeing repeating numbers. Some refer to them as angel numbers. Although I don’t put too much faith into the symbolism, I do look up their meanings from time to time. Especially if I continuously see the same numbers throughout the day or during a certain time period. I’m not going to lie, I often end up confused because there are so many sites with different meanings. So, most of the time I choose the meaning that fit closest to where I am in life, or the most positive.

Here’s one I found just now (went with one of the first ones I saw):

“Angel number 1111 is a powerful and transformative symbol that carries a message of spiritual awakening, manifestation, and divine guidance.” (Science.Howstuffworks.com, September 20, 2023)

Well, my first post for today was, “God’s guidance is strategic.” So, I guess it’s somewhat on point. Laughing. I did read a bit of the article. Will probably read a little more later. It was very interesting.

Y’all, I wonder where they get this stuff.

Anyhoo…

Happy Day 1111 to me!🎉

God’s Guidance

God’s guidance is strategic. Don’t worry yourself trying to figure it out. He knows where He’s taking you. He knows what lies ahead—the good and the bad. Trust Him and allow Him to lead and protect you. Rest assured, He’s got you! Everything is going to work out in your favor.♥️ ~Shaun

Release control and be obedient. You can trust Him.

Year50…

I Guess This Is My Song

“In Times Like These,” is once again stuck in my head. Not sure what it means. Trying not to read too much into it. Intentionally blocking the negative. However, I am human and this human side of me is wondering if my anchor is as secure as I believed it to be.

Hmmm…

Giving it to God, but also heeding the message.

That’s all. Praying you have a wonderful night!♥️

By the way, my show, Tyler Perry’s Sistas returns tonight! Can’t wait to see what factitious drama happens tonight. I believe we could all use a break from the real craziness that seems to be happening. Shaking my head.

Anyhoo… make sure your anchor is secure also.

Good Night!
