No signs of anything happening.

Is it really that simple?
Let’s find out.

P.S. Can’t you hear BeBe and CeCe Winans singing, “It’s O.K.”? Well, I surely can. Smile
Finally winding down for the night, and the song, “Ain’t No Need To Worry,” by The Winans featuring Anita Baker just came to mind. It’s the perfect song to end the day with.
The song says—
Ain’t no need in worrying
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
In the morning, the morning,
it’ll be all over in the morning.
Listen, whatever it is give it to God. Tomorrow will be a brand new day with new blessings. Now, trust God and get some rest.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
I promise this is the last post for today. My daughter is headed back home, my son is at work, and I am left alone deep in thought. I have absolutely no idea what is going on this year, especially during my Jubilee year, but it’s a lot. Confusion, chaos, hatred, you name it. Much more negative energy in the atmosphere than positive. I see it. I feel it. As much as I would love the kumbaya moments to happen and last, they seem far and few in between.
This past year I have witnessed people do things out of pure spite just to be noticed. No one thinks about the consequences of their actions. They can care less who they harm. It’s all about Me, Me, Me, and trending. And most of the time the true victims aren’t the people they intend to hurt but those connected to them. Y’all, people will literally sell their souls and relationships just for momentary satisfaction. Then when the feeling and fame wears off they search for more ways to become relevant, even if it does more harm. What is this world coming to?
I guess this means I need to do more to spread light and love. I know people are better than this. I think it’s time I become more intentional about finding like minded people who would rather build bridges than tear them down. People who, when hurt or angered, do not lash out, but instead extend kindness, mercy, and grace. Y’all, love must win!
My heart is breaking for humanity right now. I have to remain hopeful that things will get better soon.🙏🏽♥️

In my previous post, I mentioned receiving an invite to a media training that awakened so many dreams. Well, here’s what I wrote afterwards:
Shaun’s Journal Entry: June 3, 2014
New Orleans was definitely a great professional experience. I came back with a sense of worth. I felt like I could actually accomplish my goals. I now have a different outlook on life & my role in this universe. I am destined for greatness & there’s nothing wrong with it. Thank you God for helping me realize my potential. Please give me the knowledge, strength, courage, and intelligence to do things the correct way. I thank you so much for the favor!
Y’all, there are so many key elements in that entry that I had no idea I would struggle with over the years that followed. Didn’t see any of it coming. When I tell you my life was disrupted for real! Whew!! But I made it!!!
One of my biggest struggles, which I believe is the reasoning behind the self-sabotage, is this one statement: “I am destined for greatness…”
Y’all, that was a very bold statement. I saw it. I felt it. And over the years whenever I felt it creeping up again, I would shut it down. Every. Single. Time.
Very interesting revelation, isn’t it? Had no idea I was even doing it.
Moving forward, I am going to keep the same prayer in mind—
God, please give me the knowledge, strength, courage, and intelligence to do things the correct way. Amen
I believe if I make this prayer the center of all future endeavors, I will be okay.
Here’s to 10 years!🎉🎉
Yes… this is Year50…♥️

Here are a few pictures from my trip and the invite from this day ten years ago. Still can’t believe it’s been ten years.
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Romans 8:37 NKJV
The song, “More Than A Conqueror,” by Hezekiah Walker says:
The fight is fixed
I know, I’ll win
I won’t give in
Cause I’m more than a conqueror
My walk is strong
My faith is long
I can’t, can’t go wrong
Cause I’m more than a conqueror
Despite of it all, I am more than a conqueror. And so are YOU!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Today’s message is quite simple—Be obedient.
When God gives you an assignment, follow through. Period.
You do not have to understand it.
You do not have to know the details.
Just be obedient and follow through.
Praying you have a beautiful day!♥️
Be Blessed,
Shaun
My prayer for today is—
“God, move as You choose. It’s not about me, but about You. I am Your child and Your vessel. I know that You have great things in store for me. Please, let me not run away from situations when they become too uncomfortable, or take things into my own hands. You are in control and I trust You. More of You, less of me. Amen”
Praying you have a blessed day!♥️
Shaun
Different day, different month, same message—
Trust God.
You do not have to see the entire picture or know how the story will end. Just trust God to lead the way while you follow.
Again, trust God.
Love you!♥️
Shaun
My mantra for the month of April was “Trust God.”
That’s it!
Praying you had a wonderful day, and wishing you a peaceful evening.
Be Blessed♥️

Here’s a memory from five years ago—
Facebook Memory: April 28, 2019
Happy Sunday! Here’s today’s social media find. Remember, you have been planted, not buried. You may not be where you thought you’d be by now, and things may not be going as planned. It’s okay. Don’t give up on your dreams, or settle where you are. Your time is coming. You WILL bloom!
As SpongeBob SquarePants would say—
FIVE YEARS LATER…
Yes, it’s been five years and I am still saying the same thing, “Your time is coming.” Also, when I made the original post, I added the hashtags “BePatient,” “GodIsWorking,” “TrustGodsTiming,” and “YourTimeIsComing.”
I know you may feel like the journey has already been much too long. Yeah, I feel it too. However, instead of focusing on the length of time it is taking, think about all of the knowledge and experience you have gained over the years. Think about God’s protection from things that may have destroyed you. Think about all of the beautiful connections you have made, and the ones you had to release. And don’t forget the healing and growth that has taken place. When I tell you your purpose is too great for anything to happen prematurely. Believe me, you are going to bloom…when it’s time. Not a moment too soon or too late, but when it’s your time. Until then, enjoy life and all of God’s blessings and lessons along the way. Love you!♥️
