Had to share this message twice!
Whatever it is, release control and surrender it to God. He will not let you fail. You were not designed to fail. Believe me when I say He’s got you. Trust Him.♥️ ~Shaun

Hello Sunday
Happy Sunday, y’all! Was debating whether to write about what’s currently going on in my life (things are finally settling down—will share later) or share a Facebook memory. Well…I chose the memory. Smile. Its message could not be any clearer—God’s will be done.
Of course I heard Marvin L. Winans singing, “Draw Me Close To You/Thy Will Be Done.” Smile. He ends the song with, “I seen You work in others and I want You to work in me.”
This morning’s prayer is:
Lord, I am surrendering it all to you. I have seen Your work with others and know You will do the same with me. Lord, I completely trust You with my all. Thy will be done. Amen
Praying you have a wonderful week! Stay in prayer. Stay connected to God. Love you!♥️

Draw Me Close To You/Thy Will Be Done
11:11
Noticed that it’s currently 11:11. Nothing significant. Just love it when I see triple or quadruple numbers. The first thought that came to mind when I saw 11:11 was, “trust God.”
Trusting God.
Good Night♥️

Overthinking
I needed this reminder today because that is exactly what I have been doing lately—overthinking. Last night I told my daughter that I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t turn my mind off. Seems like I have been trying to solve everyone’s problems lately, and none are directly mine. Yesterday, I could feel my body changing. I had become so stressed and tense. Had to force myself to do something other than work or think. Decided to put down my phone and watch “Annie,” the Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhané Wallis one. I needed that bit of relief. I’m promising myself to do better today.♥️ ~Shaun
Facebook Memory: March 12, 2019
Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. I’m always thinking… often overthinking. Always trying to figure things out or solve a problem. Life is a mystery. We cannot predict what will happen next. We can only assume what will happen. Very few things in my life, have happened as expected. Honestly, I don’t believe anything has ever gone exactly as planned or imagined. So, today, I plan to stop overthinking and just let go. Totally trusting God.
God’s Promises

If God said it, it’s already done. Period! Trust the process.
Wishing you a lovely day and an amazing week!♥️
Love you always,

Expect Great Things To Happen
Yes, my first post for today has the same message. Smile. After sharing it here and across my social media platforms, I actually felt the message. It’s one thing to speak/say it and another to feel it. Well, I felt and still feel it, so I am sharing it…again.
Expect great things to happen! Expect it with all your heart and soul. Block the thoughts that you’re only psyching yourself up for disappointment. Baby nawl! NOT TODAY!! From here on out, despite our current situation or what we currently feel and see—keep hope and optimism flowing—great things will happen. Let’s intentionally expect them to happen. Just like I truly believe love conquers all, hope does also. Let’s fill the atmosphere with hope.
Love you!♥️
Shaun
P.S. Couldn’t wait until my schedule time to share. Had to share it now. Listen, God is working and moving. Let’s move with Him.
Wait with expectation!
Trust God, He’s Working
Earlier today, James Fortune’s song, “I Trust You,” came to mind when I shared my earlier post, Obedience, on Instagram, so I attached the song to my story and reel. Here are the lyrics.
I Trust You by James Fortune
Lyrics: Genuis.com
Even though I can’t see
And I can’t feel your touch
I will trust you lord
How I love you so much
Though my nights may seem long
And I feel so alone
Lord my trust is in you
I surrender to you
So many painful thoughts
Travel through my mind
And I wonder how
I will make it through this time
But I trust you
Lord it’s not easy
Sometimes the pain in my life
Makes you seem far away
But I’ll trust you
I need to know you’re here
Through the tears and the pain
Through the heartache and rain
I’ll trust you
(James Fortune)
Oh God I trust You
Sometimes it’s so hard because
Everything that I see
Tells me not to believe
Everything that I see
Tells me not to believe
But i’ll trust you lord
You have never failed me
My past still controls me
Will this hurt ever leave’
I can only trust you
No one else like you do
So many painful thoughts
Travel through my mind
And I wonder how
I will make it through this time
But I trust you
Lord it’s not easy
Sometimes the pain in my life
Makes you seem far away
But I’ll trust you
I need to know, you’re here
Through the tears and the pain
Through the heartache and rain …
I can
I will
I must
Trust you
To me, the lyrics only convey part of the message. It’s James Fortune’s intro and spoken words throughout the song that carries the true message.
Be Blessed♥️

Hello Sunday
Today’s message is, “Do not give up!” It’s a message I have shared on this date for the past few years. No matter what things look like or how badly you might want to quit (I know you’re tired), do not give up! God is working on your behalf. Soon everything will work in your favor.
Facebook Memory: February 25, 2019
Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. Believe me, God IS working. Every setback is preparing you for a bigger blessing. Just don’t give up. No matter what, keep believing, keep going.
Facebook Memory: February 25, 2022
Woke up with the word “steadfast” stuck in my head. It’s all I kept hearing. Now, my Facebook memories are showering me with confirmations. Listen, do not…I repeat…DO NOT give up!! God is working.
Facebook Memory: February 25, 2023
Listen!! DO NOT give up! What may seem impossible to man is NEVER impossible with God. Keep the faith and continue doing your part. God will take care of the rest. Have a blessed day.♥️
Remember, with God, all things are possible. He will not let you fail. Trust Him!♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
Hello Sunday
Happy Sunday!
Listen, my attempt at posting something completely original is already out the window. Laughing. I looked at my Facebook memories and just had to share this gem from last year.
Facebook Memory: February 18, 2023
You do not have to see the entire picture before making a move. Just make the move and trust God to guide you through the unknown.♥️
I am going to add—because it’s what I have been doing lately—you don’t even have to see the picture at all. God’s word is enough. Trust it and move.
Some of the things I have experienced recently have required me to make quick decisions. I haven’t had the luxury of waiting days to think of how different decisions could play out. They have been those “God’s hands is on this, now move” situations. Basically, I haven’t had time to create fake scenarios that would self-sabotage opportunities. When God says it’s a good opportunity, I move. And at that first gut feel that something that sounds good isn’t right, I decline it quickly. Don’t even give it a chance to linger in my mind. Listen, I can think of all kinds of ways to make bad “good” opportunities align with my goals and purpose. Doing so in the past only delayed things I could have or should have been doing. Lessons learned.
Here’s my advice or what I have been living by. Trust God and move. No questions asked. Know the difference between the fear of doing something new and a true gut warning. Believe me, God will confirm your move within minutes. That, “Didn’t you ask for XYZ” is often the only confirmation needed.
Well, this is all I have right now. My daughter is leaving this morning going back to her new home. She and her fiancé came home last weekend for the Super Bowl and stayed the entire week (both work remotely). It was so great having her home. Last night we had one of our long, deep conversations. Honestly, I am not sure what we discussed but it was wonderful. I just love hearing her views on different topics, even though we don’t always agree. She’s a realist and I am…a bit different. Smile. However, all while she was talking I kept thinking, “This is my child.” Y’all, I am so proud of my two. Listen, they are not perfect but they are sooo perfect for me. I am blessed.
Wishing you a peaceful Sunday.♥️
Take Care,
Shaun
Trust God With Total Control
I reshared the graphic above with the following caption–
Facebook Memory: February 10, 2019
Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. Thanks for the reminder! We have to allow God to lead, and trust Him to do what’s best for us. If you’re used to being in control (like me😉), it’s hard to do. However, it can be done. I know because I’ve done it before (and strive to do it daily but my control issue tends to get in the way🤦🏽♀️). Think back to a time when you completely let God lead and He showed up and showed out. That wasn’t a one time event. He’ll do it EVERY time. Just trust Him.
Well, I can testify that God showing up is not a one time event. This past week, once again, God showed up and showed out! All I know is one day I had written down something that had been on my mind, something I desired, and a few days later God set everything in motion. Yes, I’m crying. Y’all, all I did was put it in God’s hands, left it alone, and He did the rest. It was that simple. When I tell you everything was so unexpected, and turned out better than anything I could have done on my own.
I know I say this all the time, but I am so serious, I just love the way God loves me. Every time I completely give Him control, He blows my mind. I don’t know why I continue to take it back. I am so very blessed, and so grateful to be loved.♥️
